The three of them returned to the dormitory, and Zhou Youyou was reading in school.

Seeing the three of them coming back together, Zhou Youyou quickly put down the book in his hand and ran towards Sun Meng.

"Mengmeng, you are finally here, I miss you so much!"

Zhou Youyou hugged Sun Meng and kissed her hard on the cheek.

Sun Mengxiao went crazy, "Did you know that I brought delicious food, so you are so enthusiastic towards me?"

When Zhou Youyou heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Is there something delicious? What's delicious?!"

The four girls opened Sun Meng's luggage and saw what was inside.

Zhou Youyou picked up one that looked like an oval, with some greenish-yellow color, and felt soft when pinched, "Mengmeng, what is this? I have never smelled this smell before."

Zhou Youyou picked it up and put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. It seemed fragrant, but also sweet.

"This is a mango." Sun Meng took out two more yellow ones and handed one to each of Jiang Ruoxing and Xiao Haiping. "It's very delicious, fragrant and sweet."

Then, she took the one in Zhou Youyou's hand and said, "You're not familiar with this yet, so wait two days before eating it."

With that said, Sun Meng picked out a soft yellow-orange one for her and handed it to her.

Hearing this, everyone except Jiang Ruoxing, Xiao Haiping and Zhou Youyou were stunned.

"How can you pick it if it's not ripe? Besides, if it's not ripe it won't be ripe in a few days. It's all picked."

Jiang Ruoxing also pretended not to know, and asked casually, "Is it true that mangoes, like persimmons, can be picked to ripen?"

"The stars are smarter," Sun Meng smiled at Jiang Ruoxing, "That's it. Mangoes are a specialty in Guangxi. Each of our families has at least two or three mango trees. They bear a lot of fruits every year. They can be eaten when we are hungry.

.”

Although eating too much is not as good for your health as eating pasta, it is still better than starving to death.

Jiang Ruoxing tore off the skin and ate the pulp inside.

Sun Meng was very surprised, "Xingxing, have you ever eaten mangoes before?"

Jiang Ruoxing blinked her innocent eyes, "No, I just think it should be eaten this way. Don't you just eat the inside of a persimmon instead of the skin? Isn't that the same for apples?"

Sun Meng laughed out loud, "It seems so, that's how they eat."

Four people sat on the floor and each ate a mango. They were very happy.

"Mengmeng, the mangoes are so delicious," Zhou Youyou asked while eating, "How many did you take?"

"I took about forty or fifty." Sun Meng pointed to the luggage, "They are all in that small bag."

The mangoes can be stored. She took some that were about to ripen, and some that would take a few days to ripen. The time was alternated, and they could be eaten for a few more days without going bad.

"Mengmeng, I really love you so much!"

Zhou Youyou said that he was about to hug Sun Meng, but Sun Meng quickly dodged, "Stay away from me. If you get it on me, I won't be able to wash it off."

Zhou Youyou curled his lips and said, "Okay."

"It's so delicious. This is the best fruit I've ever tasted!"

Xiao Haiping wiped her mouth, "Mengmeng, how much does your mango cost per pound?"

Sun Meng blinked, "We don't have any mango sellers over there, every household has them. We can't finish them every year, and some of them are rotten."

If you can’t finish the food at home, who would buy the food from outside?

Xiao Haiping and Zhou Youyou were speechless. Such a good thing was ruined.

Jiang Ruoxing was not surprised at all.

Mangoes in later generations were very expensive, costing a few yuan or more than ten yuan per pound.

Roads were also built at that time, but the roads in Guangxi were still not good and the cost was too high, so they had to be sold at a high price to transport them.

However, a lot of it goes to old farmers.

Jiang Ruoxing looked at the mangoes on the ground. In terms of size, they were actually not very big. If they were pruned well and planted well, they could grow bigger and more numerous.

"Mengmeng, how many fruits can one of your mango trees bear?"

Sun Mengmeng thought for a while, "There are probably more than a hundred."

"But this is our mango. Other mangoes are considered good if they bear fifty or sixty, and some only bear twenty or thirty."

"Does Auntie know how to grow mangoes?" Jiang Ruoxing grasped the key point.

"My mother knows a little bit. There was a teacher in my grandfather's family who had some research on fruit tree planting. My mother learned some from my grandfather and she prunes it every year. I don't know much about it either, but my mangoes

There are more knots.”

She knew that fruit trees needed to be pruned, but her mother never taught her.

Anyway, I don’t expect the mango tree at home to make money, so I’d better go out first.

"If you have nothing to do in the future, you can go to the planting major to learn something. Maybe your mangoes can be sold outside in the future?"

Sun Meng was stunned for a moment, "You said we would bring the mangoes over there and sell them in the capital?"

Jiang Ruoxing hummed.

Sun Meng smiled and laughed at Jiang Ruoxing's naivety, "Xingxing, what are you thinking about? You have never seen the road over there. It is very bumpy. When I came here carrying so much fruit, my mother and my younger brothers and sisters carried it one by one.

Yes, how could you take it and sell it?"

That would cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Before the money is earned, people will die from exhaustion.

"This is only temporary. It's definitely not possible now, but I can't say for sure in the future. What if the road over there is repaired?"

Sun Meng looked at Jiang Ruoxing.

Jiang Ruoxing was also looking at her, "Mengmeng, haven't you always wanted to study hard and then go back to build your hometown?"

Sun Meng nodded, that's what she thought.

"So there are more and more people like you, so it won't be a problem if your roads are repaired. Once the roads are built, your fruits can be shipped out. If you have more mangoes by then, you can make more money."

?”

Sun Meng was stunned.

"Besides, even if that day doesn't happen, it doesn't matter if you learn to prune fruit trees. When you learn how to do it, go back and talk to your aunt. I can guarantee that your aunt will not know as much as our professor does. Maybe you will

The mangoes will bear more fruit."

Sun Meng was persuaded by Jiang Ruoxing.

Her brother's grades are not very good. If he can really sell the mangoes at home in the future, then her brother can still grow mangoes at home even if he cannot go to college.

"Okay, then I have time to go take a look and learn a bit."

Many years later, when the mangoes from Sun Meng's hometown were sold all over the country through Jiang Ruoxing, they would always thank Jiang Ruoxing for giving their hometown a chance to make a fortune.

After eating the mangoes, Sun Meng brought them sugar oranges.

Zhou Youyou held the orange and asked, "What is this?"

"This is sugar orange, which is also a specialty of our area. It is sweet and sour, and also delicious."

Jiang Ruoxing and the others took one each.
