After dinner, the whole family went out, including Uncle Dacheng and Da Zhuang, who were called over by Jiang Che to help.
"Xiao Che, your watermelon looks really juicy."
"It looks delicious at first glance, but you still have a way."
When a group of people came to the melon field, Da Zhuang praised him.
"Dazhuang, you are wrong. My parents grew this watermelon and it has nothing to do with me."
"I'll finish my work in a while. I'll pick one back and try it. It tastes really good."
Jiang Che smiled and wiped himself clean.
"Really? Then I won't be polite later."
"That's right, you can pick it anytime you want to eat it. Why are you being polite to me?"
Jiang Che said nonchalantly.
A group of little ones at home also came over to join in the fun and were currently running around in the melon field.
It brought a lot of joy to everyone. The Xu Guotao family took Wan Nian to pick watermelons in the melon patch.
As long as you like it, you will put a small note on it and prepare to ask Tang Tian to help send it to Kyoto.
Ganoderma held a watermelon that was bigger than her head and hurriedly put it into a basket lined with straw.
Tang Tian also went to the fields himself to select watermelons for himself.
The whole family came together to fight, and several large baskets were filled in no time.
There are about ten large watermelons in one basket, and each watermelon weighs about ten pounds.
One basket weighs one hundred kilograms, considering the carrying capacity of the bamboo raft.
After loading eight baskets, it was no longer loaded. It was better to be on the safe side, in case it tipped over in the creek.
Xu Guotao didn't pick too much this time, so he picked three watermelons and put them in the basket.
This one wasn't even weighed, so it was calculated directly as ten pounds per piece.
Then Jiang Che picked up two baskets each, while Da Zhuang, Uncle Dacheng, Dad and his second uncle carried one basket back and forth.
Eight baskets of watermelons were carried to the Huaxi side and put on bamboo rafts.
A bamboo raft can hold about 400 kilograms of watermelon, which is just right.
"Tang Tian, do you want to go together?"
Standing on the bamboo raft, Jiang Che asked Tang Tian on the shore.
"I won't go. Just be careful. If you have any questions, just ask Brother Zhao to call me."
Tang Tian stood on the shore and shook his head and said.
The bamboo raft contained so many things, it would be a bit confusing if she got on it again.
"Okay, you go back first."
"Black Bean and Kidney Bean, you two, don't be naughty. Follow Yuanbao and the others home. I'll be back soon?"
Jiang Che waved his hand and warned the black bean and kidney bean squatting on the bank.
"Zhizhi."
Black Bean and Kidney Bean squatted on the pebbles on the shore and waved their little paws to say goodbye to Jiang Che.
This serious little look made Ganoderma lucidum and Tang Tian so adorable that they started to whimper and want to hug the two little guys.
Black Bean and Kidney Bean turned around and ran away, followed by Red Cloud Civet and Yueyue Rabbit, rolling on the grass.
Jiang Che shook his head with a smile and followed Jiang Yunshan down the river.
By the way, he took out his mobile phone and called Song Tianxing's family.
"Brother Song, are you here?"
"We've arrived at Xiaoche. There's a truck right at the mouth of the Dawa Village river you mentioned."
"This brother said he is here to wait for you, and you will see him as soon as you arrive."
On the phone, Song Tianxing said immediately.
Unexpectedly, Song Tianxing and Tang Tian's driver collided with each other.
"Okay, Brother Song, wait for me for ten minutes, I'll be there soon."
Jiang Che hung up the phone and stood on the bamboo raft to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river.
The rolling green hills cover the meandering stream, with lush trees hanging down to the water in the middle of the stream.
The scenery is not that good, and the water flow is not that fast.
Maybe we can really launch a bamboo rafting project in the future, or build a floating restaurant.
"Zhizhizhi..."
Suddenly, a roar of beasts caught Jiang Che's attention, and following the sound, Jiang Che quickly looked over.
I happened to see a golden figure standing on a big tree by the stream, roaring at Jiang Che.
After taking a closer look, I was surprised to find that it was actually a golden monkey.
"Dad, haven't you heard that we have golden monkeys here?"
Jiang Che asked Jiang Yunshan somewhat unexpectedly.
Jiang Yunshan also saw the little guy and said with a smile.
"It's normal if you haven't seen it before. Even I have never seen it. Our Qingyun Mountain happens to be bordering Shennongjia. These golden monkeys probably came from there."
"I heard from your grandpa that these monkeys usually live deep in Qingyun Mountain. He occasionally saw them when he was picking ginseng when he was young."
Jiang Yunshan thought for a while and said with a smile.
Jiang Che nodded, that's it. The golden monkey is indeed a national treasure. It's so good-looking, its hair shines like gold in the sun.
Standing on the branch of a tree, he looked at Jiang Che and the others curiously.
Jiang Che also looked at the little guy very curiously and did not disturb it.
But before I watched it for a while, a bigger golden monkey ran out of the jungle and took the little guy away.
Jiang Che smiled and looked away. It seemed that she was the little monkey's mother.
Monkeys usually live in groups, and there are two here, so there must be more in the mountains.
When you have time in the future, come and see this area, Jiang Che thought to himself.
Drifting along the current, my father and my second uncle didn't put much effort at all. At most, they just used bamboo poles to adjust the direction and they were out of the mountain stream.
After rafting on the Huaxi River for about five minutes, I saw a village appearing in the distance.
There were a few people watching by the water, and a little girl in a floral skirt jumped up and down when she saw them appearing.
It must be the child Song Huanhuan. Upon seeing this, my father and second uncle immediately leaned over on the bamboo raft.
"Brother Jiang Che, brother Jiang Che, come up quickly!"
Song Huanhuan danced excitedly, her face turned red, and she called Jiang Che loudly.
"Don't dance Huanhuan, be careful to roll into the water."
Jiang Che smiled and shouted, Dawa Village has a dock, and there are also many fishing families in the village.
When Jiang Che docked, Song Huanhuan's family immediately surrounded him.
"Brother Jiang Che, it's so cool that you actually came here on a bamboo raft."
The little girl was so excited. She was so excited when she thought that she would be able to ride on the bamboo raft later.
"Huanhuan, don't be so rude."
Song Huanhuan lowered her head when she heard this, spit out her sweet tongue and retreated to her mother.
Song Tianxing said with a straight face, and then immediately walked up to Jiang Che with a smile on his face and said with a smile.
"Xiao Che, I came here suddenly to disturb you."
"Why are you bothering me? It's too late for me to be happy that Brother Song can come and play."
"Let me introduce to Brother Song. This is my father, Jiang Yunshan, and my second uncle, Jiang Yunhai."
"Uncle Dad, this is Brother Song Tianxing, the boss I met last time I bought a car in the county."
Jiang Che came up, shook hands with Song Tianxing, and then introduced everyone.
"Hello Mr. Song, welcome to our home."
Jiang Yunshan also smiled and stepped forward to say hello, while Jiang Yunhai and Song Tianxing also smiled and nodded.
"Brother Jiang, you're welcome. I'm younger than you. Just call me Xiao Song."
Song Tianxing said hurriedly, and the enthusiastic Jiang Yunshan felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yunshan smiled unnaturally. Song Tianxing was so enthusiastic that he couldn't resist it.
"Brother Song, please wait a moment while I process these watermelons."
Seeing that his father was a little confused about what to say, Jiang Che quickly said.
"It's okay, it's okay, you guys are busy, I'll take a look from the side."
Song Tianxing nodded and pulled Song Huanhuan to the side.
In fact, he had just seen watermelons on two bamboo rafts. Thinking that the master named Zhao was waiting here in a cold chain truck, he thought he was here to collect some good things.
I didn't expect it to be watermelon, and the amount was too small, so I was full of curiosity.
Jiang Che nodded and followed Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Yunhai to move up the watermelons on the bamboo rafts.
"Brother Zhao, do you have a floor scale?"
"There's some, I'll take it right now."
Driver Zhao immediately opened the door and took off the scale.
Jiang Che took out the three watermelons Xu Guotao bought, and then weighed each of the eight baskets of watermelons.
The total weight was 844 kilograms, dozens of kilograms more than expected.
"Mr. Jiang, there are 844 kilograms of watermelon in total. Even if it's 850 kilograms, I still don't have zero."
Driver Zhao said with a smile after carrying the watermelon onto the train.
"No, no, Xiao Zhao, what are you talking about? The basket still weighs 840 kilograms."
My father didn’t agree with anything he said, and my second uncle shook his head repeatedly.
When Driver Zhao saw this, he had no choice but to agree and calculate it as 840 kilograms.
He turned around and went to the cab to bring out a lockbox. When he opened it, it was filled with wads of cash tied up.
He took out four stacks, and then took out twenty one-hundred cards, and put the money in Jiang Yunshan's hand.
"Mr. Jiang, this is a total of 42,000 yuan in cash. Please count it."
Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Yunhai were stunned for a moment, looking a little confused at the pile of cash in their hands.
Although I knew the value of these watermelons in advance, I was still shocked to see so much cash.
The three members of Song Tianxing's family on the side were even more stunned. They could even stuff an egg into their mouths.
Just a few baskets of watermelons, worth so much money? This is too scary!
