After three strokes and five divided by two, Chen Xiaobei finished the fruit. When Zhang Carpenter saw this, he smiled and said, "Xiaobeili Chang, I will go get you some more."
"No, no, just one is enough. This thing is very expensive."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Zhang Carpenter laughed.
"It's expensive. It's worthless. There are a lot of them picked just over there in the forest."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Are there many such delicious fruits in the wild? Chen Xiaobei's mind moved.
Yes, I'll have to check it out soon.
While talking, Yang Zhi came with his men. This time Yang Zhi carefully selected eight people, and they also brought a lot of tools, including hammers and axes. When he saw so many people, Carpenter Zhang said hello and quickly turned around and entered.
The yard.
It can be seen that he still has a deep fear of these people.
Yang Zhi, however, was careless and pointed at the people behind him, "Brother Xiaobei, do you think eight people are enough?"
"That's enough. It's just a matter of installing an iron door."
Chen Xiaobei pointed to the iron gate of the donkey cart, and four people came over to hold a corner each.
This iron gate must weigh more than 200 kilograms, and it is just right for four people to carry it.
Chen Xiaobei led the way and led everyone to the cave.
Yang Zhi stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at it for a while, then walked about a foot or two inside and shouted several times inside at the top of his lungs. Then he turned around and came out and asked Chen Xiaobei with a worried look on his face, "I think this cave is pretty good."
Hey, is there any other exit?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled and shook his head, "No, I often went in there when I was a kid. It's more than a dozen feet deep. There's a little mountain spring water underneath that's enough for them to drink. I just need to give them some dry food to keep them from starving to death."
Yang Zhi finally showed a smile on his face, "Brother Xiaobei, you are really good at choosing a place. Here, if you close the iron gate, he won't be able to escape even if he has three heads and six arms."
Not to mention, the people led by Yang Zhi are really professional in their work.
First press the iron door to the stone wall and adjust its position.
Then draw the location where the nails need to be smashed.
Then he put the iron gate aside, eight people gathered around it, and then started to work.
Seeing that they were having sex in full swing, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help at all. So here, he couldn't stand or sit, which made him look very embarrassed.
Yang Zhi obviously noticed Chen Xiaowei's state and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaobei has something to do. Go and do it. I promise to finish it for you before dark."
Chen Xiaobei was not polite to him, nodded, turned around and left.
This time I went to the county town in a hurry and didn't buy anything. I had to go to the place mentioned by Zhang Carpenter to pick some wild fruits and bring them back so Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer could try them.
According to Carpenter Zhang, the fruit trees are in the south of the forest.
Chen Xiaobei needs to pass through this large forest at the end of the village.
In his memory, this forest leads all the way to the village of Cuijiazhuang, and there is a ditch to the south, which is where the forest ends.
Therefore, the villagers of the two villages also delimited their respective activities based on this ditch. The villagers of Cuijiazhuang rarely crossed the ditch to this side, and the people of Hetou Village naturally did not cross it.
In the forest, there is a vague road, which is the trace left by someone who occasionally passed by.
After walking south along this road for about three miles, Chen Xiaobei smelled bursts of fragrant aroma.
Look at the red area in front, which is really pleasant under the sunlight.
I finally found Chen Xiaobei and became excited.
Sure enough, as Carpenter Zhang said, there are several fruit trees here, full of fruits.
Chen Xiaobei picked another one and tasted it, and it tasted the same as the one given by Zhang Mu's family.
After confirming that it was this kind of fruit, Chen Xiaobei was not in a hurry to pick it, but looked around again first.
There are four fruit trees, or to be exact, there are four fruit-bearing trees. Each tree bears dozens or hundreds of fruits.
In other words, there are about four hundred fruits in total.
There are also some small trees around these four trees, some are only as thick as a thumb, and some are even just small buds. They should be the fruits of the old trees falling to the ground and growing naturally.
This is the original appearance of the world, where it is born and destroyed.
But Chen Xiaobei's arrival is destined to change the fate of these trees.
Chen Xiaobei picked a dozen fruits, put them in his arms and turned around to go home.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei's return, Cui Hongyu looked concerned and said, "Thank you for your hard work, husband. Please take a rest."
But Chen Xiaobei smiled and took out two fruits from his arms. He gave one to Cui Hongyu and the other to Chen Qiaoer, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Cui Hongyu held it in his hand and observed it carefully, but Chen Qiaoer couldn't wait and took a big bite.
After taking a bite, Chen Qiaoer immediately showed an excited smile on his face and said vaguely, "It's delicious, it's delicious. Brother, this fruit is really delicious."
Cui Hongyu asked, "Aren't you going to the county seat? Are you going into the mountains?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. You are really good at calculating things."
Cui Hongyu smiled indifferently, "I don't know how to calculate. It's just that I saw this kind of fruit in the mountains two years ago."
"Really? There are them in the mountains too?" Chen Xiaobei deliberately pretended to be dumbfounded, "I didn't go into the mountains, I just found them in the woods at the entrance of the village."
"I don't know what's going on in the woods. One year, my father and I went into the mountains to collect herbs. We once saw a large area of these fruits. If we hadn't dug too many herbs, we would have brought a few more down the mountain."
Chen Xiaobei smiled, Cui Hongyu is also a greedy cat.
"Then did your father tell you what this fruit is called?"
Faced with this problem, Cui Hongyu thought for a while and finally shook his head.
"No, why don't you give him a name?"
Chen Xiaobei was a little surprised when he asked himself to name this fruit, but then he thought about it, it was right, it would be inconvenient to say it without a name in the future.
Yes, then give him a ready-made one.
"Kuyu, I think we should call him Apple."
"Apple, Apple." Cui Hongyu kept repeating it. It could be seen that she was not very satisfied with this name.
Yes, Chen Xiaobei has no choice but to use his trump card.
"Look, why I call it apple? I just hope that after eating it, it will be safe and smooth."
When he heard this Cui Hongyu, a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, this name is great."
Chen Qiaoer also shouted excitedly next to her, "It sounds nice. The name Apple is really nice."
Chen Xiaobei was a little dumbfounded. You see, the name is not important, the key is how you explain it.
Chen Xiaobei took out the rest of the fruits from his arms and put them on the stone table. "There are some more here. I will pick them for you after you finish eating."
Cui Hongyu shook his head, "Husband, we won't eat it. You can pick some more and sell them in the county. You can also exchange them for some silver coins."
She is indeed a good wife who is diligent and thrifty. Chen Xiaobei felt dizzy with happiness.
