Chapter 237: Shall I pick some grass to cover it up?
The farmer's children were not squeamish. They nodded after hearing He Xiner's words and started working quickly.
Don't look at them laughing and joking when they are playing around, but they are very careful when doing business. Ye Yuanyuan's little face is very serious, her eyes are scanning every fruit on the branches, trying not to let go of any ripe fruit.
of fruit.
Guan Cuizhi also opened her eyes wide and only picked ripe and plump fruits, not any bad ones.
Not to mention He Xiner, she was afraid that picking bad fruits would affect the overall quality. Since it was to be done, of course it had to be done well. The price of medicinal materials with good quality would be relatively higher.
Ye Xusheng is taller than them and specializes in picking high places that they can't reach.
The four of them were all concentrating on the work they were doing, not even thinking about talking for a moment. The surroundings were quiet except for the occasional bird song in the distance~
This dense forest is huge, and the wild fruits are not picked all year round. The seeds fall to the ground, and new fruit trees continue to grow. Year after year, they grow more and more, and I can’t count how many there are. The wolfberries bear a lot of fruit.
He Xin'er estimated that he could keep picking until it snowed and the mountains were closed.
When there were more fruits in the basket, He Xiner spread another layer of leaves. He did this three times until the basket was full.
Seeing the fruits of her labor, He Xiner grinned happily, stretched out her hand to beat her sore waist, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and prepared to call it a day.
Looking around, I saw that only my cousin was there, and the two of them couldn't get far with just one backpack.
The place is so big, they only focus on picking fruits. Yuanyuan and Cuizhi slowly got separated. They looked up at the sun in the sky and saw that it was about to set. As expected, time flies very fast when you are serious about doing things.
"Yuanyuan, Cuizhi, let's go"
He Xiner put her hands around her lips and opened her mouth to shout.
The two people's responses were heard in the distance, and after a while they both looked for the sound and came over.
"Look, my backpack is full."
"Me too, I picked it all up before I knew it."
Ye Yuanyuan and Guan Cuizhi were both happy to show it to He Xiner. Ye Xusheng also pursed his lips and chuckled, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while before leaving?"
"It's getting late, let's go back early."
He Xiner was worried that so many fruits would be spoiled, so she wanted to go home as soon as possible and spread them out to dry.
"Xin'er is right. Thinking that all these fruits can be exchanged for money makes me feel energetic all over and I don't feel tired at all."
Ye Yuanyuan said she was not tired, but she still raised her arm and wiped the sweat with her sleeve.
Guan Cuizhi also sweated due to the heat, and wiped it gently, "Should you pick some grass to cover it up?"
"Well, Cuizhi is right."
Taking time to rest, everyone gathered enough grass and put it on top of their baskets to cover the fruits inside.
Look at each other, nothing is wrong, they all look at each other and smile.
"Let's go, I'm afraid it will get dark when we get home."
"Yeah, let's hurry up"
"Xin'er, are there any particularities in drying fruits?"
A few people walked quickly, and Ye Yuanyuan asked He Xiner curiously.
"Of course it's important, and it's the most critical step. If it doesn't dry properly and the moisture turns black, it will be a waste of these fruits."
"Ah? What should we do? What we have worked so hard to pick cannot be wasted."
"Don't worry, Dr. Dou is very enthusiastic. He explained to me in detail how to dry the fruits. Moreover, I also have a secret that can prevent the fruits from getting wet and sticking together."
"What magic weapon?"
"Haha, I won't tell you"
It's not that He Xiner was hiding anything. Since she asked her friends to join her, she didn't intend to keep it to herself. However, she hadn't tried it and wasn't 100% sure that it would succeed.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, don't tell me."
Ye Yuanyuan didn't care, "Then we don't know how to dry the fruit. What should we do if the fruit gets damp?"
"This is what I want to say. In order to prevent everyone's fruit drying methods from being of different quality, let's work together and put them all in my home. I also have a place to dry them in Xikuoyuan."
"Then won't you be more tired?"
Guan Cuizhi, who had been quiet all this time, couldn't help but feel sorry when she saw He Xiner taking over all the hard work.
"I have my cousin to help me. You two can come over during the day and we can be together. How can we be tired?" This chapter has been completed!
