Chapter 253 Picking Thorny Fruit

Chen Jiana and Cai Xia looked at the others with envy. It was really a blessing to be able to watch the snow scene team building, but it was a pity that they couldn't go because they had to work.

Of course, what they envied even more was the people in the kitchen. It was really enviable that a big boss like Chef He helped them support the kitchen and let them all have a holiday.

Chen Wenjiu didn't care so much anymore and took all the human employees of the hotel except He Zui, Chen Jiana and Cai Xia to the fictional plane of the Republic of China.

In the fictional plane of the Republic of China, Yujia Village in the northern part of Qin Province.

Chen Wenjiu and the others arrived at an open space outside Yujia Village, which happened to be next door to the thornberry forest. As soon as they came over, they saw the woods all over the hillside.

Acanthus has planted more than 200 acres of land, almost a slightly larger hillside, and it is growing very strong.

The leaves of Thorny Thorn are now green, and the emerald green looks very beautiful. It is very eye-catching among the snowy scenery all over the mountains and plains.

According to Chen Nuannuan, the leaves of this plant can change. When it is cold, its leaves are emerald green. The colder the leaves, the greener they become. When the temperature is high, the leaves will gradually turn red.

Of course, after turning red, the leaves will not become redder as the temperature rises. When the temperature rises, the leaves of Acanthopanax will probably turn red and green, that is, the outer ring of the leaves will be red and the middle will be green, two colors. It blends very well.

It's winter now and it's still snowing, so the leaves of Thornberry are green and very conspicuous among the white snow. But in fact, the fruits of the thorns are now mature, and the green leaves are dotted with a lot of red, which is also very beautiful.

"Wow - so much snow!" Chen Jiayue looked at the snowy scene in front of her and cheered happily, "Let's go play, Sister Xiaohong!"

"Okay, okay." Wei Xiaohong was very interested and ran away with Chen Jiayue.

Chen Wenjiu: "..."

She was too lazy to pay attention to the others, but went to Yu Xiaoguo and the others to see if it was time to harvest the thorn fruits? And how are the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep they have raised in the past few months?

When Chen Nuannuan and his group of wood-type superpowers came to help regenerate the thorn fruit trees, they also regenerated all the grass planted under the fruit trees, so the people of Yujiacun could have abundant pasture to raise poultry and livestock.

Of course, when the superpowers were growing fruit trees and pastures, they also helped the people of Yujia Village grow some food. Otherwise, how could they rely on Chen Wenjiu to provide them with so much food?

The superpowers only gave birth to a batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and beans for the people in Yujia Village, and then they needed to continue growing them themselves.

After all, the superpowers only accepted Chen Wenjiu's employment this time, which could be regarded as relieving the urgent needs of the people in Yujiacun and nearby areas and allowing them to survive. The rest was up to them.

"Sister, store manager?"

Yu Xiaoguo, who was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village, saw Chen Wenjiu and the others. He happily ran over to Chen Wenjiu and said, "Sister, store manager, you are here."

"Sister, store manager, my father said that you asked us to plant these thorn fruits, and he also said that we can only pick them after you come here, sister."

"Sister, are we going to pick fruits now? Or should we have a meal at our house first?" Yu Xiaoguo happily asked Chen Wenjiu.

"Store manager...sister." Yu Xiaoguo's sister Yu Xiaohua also accompanied her brother to wait for Chen Wenjiu and the others. Now when she saw this sister who looked very richly dressed, she greeted softly with some fear.

Chen Wenjiu looked at Yu Xiaohua, smiled and greeted her, "Hello, Xiaohua."

Yu Xiaohua is like many girls in this era. Although she is the first child in the family, she is not so favored because she is a girl. However, Yu Chunsheng and Liu Pandi are not the kind who do not treat their daughters as human beings. So although her character is shy, she is also a very lovable girl.

Yu Xiaohua also attended the literacy class of the experts who came to Yujiacun to build the northwest. Although she was a girl, the experts treated her equally. They had no idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. In their view, everyone must recognize her. You must learn to count words.

Not only Yu Xiaohua, but other girls and women in the village also have to go to school to learn to read. They do not accept that there are so many illiterate people where they live.

Although Yu Xiaohua is still a little shy, she has changed a lot. But today, besides Chen Wenjiu, there were many tall and powerful men, and she was actually a little scared.

"Xiaoguo, is your village ready? If you are ready, just go and pick the fruits. We won't eat. We came here after eating." Chen Wenjiu touched the boy's head and said , "Let's go and ask your father and the others to pick fruits together."

"Okay!" Yu Xiaoguo nodded happily.

Yu Xiaoguo was also very excited. He watched helplessly as everyone planted the thorn fruit trees, and watched helplessly as the store manager sister hired a group of people to help make the fruit trees bloom and bear fruit. Now the fruits of the fruit trees are finally ripe. He has wanted to pick it for a long time.

There are more than two hundred acres of ripe thorn fruits, and the sweet smell is very attractive. Not only the people in Yujiacun are attracted, but the animals nearby are also very fond of it.

If the people in Yujiacun hadn't been strictly guarded, these fruits would have been destroyed long ago. But thanks to the animals that give the fruits, people in Yujia Village have had meat to eat recently.

"Manager Chen." Yu Chunsheng shouted excitedly after seeing Chen Wenjiu. He was really grateful to Chen Wenjiu. It was her help that allowed them to survive, and their lives are pretty good now.

They never imagined that in such a famine year, they would be able to eat well, wear well, eat meat from time to time, and even be able to read and write.

All this is because of the help of Manager Chen, who is a kind person - no, she is a fairy, a kind and compassionate fairy.

"Okay, Brother Yu, can we go pick the thorn fruits? I'm curious about the taste of the thorn fruits." Chen Wenjiu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's go pick fruits." Of course Yu Chunsheng had no objection. He excitedly called on the villagers to bring baskets and straw and go up the mountain to pick fruits.

Chen Wenjiu and the others also followed the villagers up the mountain. The others had quickly become familiar with the villagers, chatting about life, other gossips, etc. Anyway, everyone was having a great time chatting.

The people in Yujia Village are full of gratitude to Chen Wenjiu and the people she brought, so they all know everything and talk about it. Others are sympathetic to the difficulties of life of the people here, so everyone's attitude All very good.

The Thornberry Fruit Forest is not very far from Yujia Village. It takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk there. They were excited looking at the fruit trees in front of them.

"Let's pick fruits -" Yu Chunsheng gave the order, and the villagers and the employees brought by Chen Wenjiu all started picking fruits.

Today's thorn fruit trees are only about one or two meters tall, so it is quite convenient to pick fruits. Adults pick the ones from high places, and children pick the ones from low places.

The fruit of the thornberry is really not easy to beat. It is the same size as the Kyoho grape. The grapes are just in bunches, while the thornberry has long stalks similar to cherries and hangs singly on the branches. superior.

The thorn fruits are red and look like red cherries, but when Chen Wenjiu tasted them, he discovered that the taste of the thorn fruits is different from that of cherries.

how to say? The taste of acanthus is certainly not similar to that of other fruits. Its taste is relatively sweet with a hint of sourness and bitterness. Of course, the sourness and bitterness are not strong, just very light. The taste cannot be tasted without careful aftertaste.

The hardness of the flesh of the acanthus fruit seems to be similar to that of plums and apricots. It has a soft texture when it is very ripe, or a bit hard when it is seven or eight years old, but they are all delicious.

Chen Wenjiu thinks that the sweetness of this fruit is similar to that of grapes. No wonder Chen Wennuan said that this fruit can also be used to make wine. The sweetness is OK and it has medicinal effects. The wine brewed in this way should be delicious. , also has certain medicinal uses.

This is the first time this year that the Acanthus fruit has grown, so it is not considered a bumper harvest. One tree can pick about thirty or forty kilograms of fruit, but Chen Wenjiu is already very satisfied.

After all, there are 10,000 thorn fruit trees planted in Yujia Village. Even if one tree can harvest at least 30 kilograms of fruit, it can eventually harvest 300,000 kilograms of fruit. Even if such a large number of fruits are damaged during picking, it will not be too much, and a harvest of more than 200,000 yuan can be achieved.

"This fruit is delicious." Gao Xi picked a spinach fruit and tasted it. The fruit was about the same size as a grape and the core was not very big. It was a variety with thick flesh and a small core. It also tasted very juicy. It was a very good fruit. fruit.

"This kind of fruit is indeed very good. If it can be planted more in the northwest, it can generate a lot of commercial value."

After all, in addition to the plane of the Republic of China, the land in Chen Wenjiu and their own plane is also very desertified. If thorns are planted there, it can green the desert and generate economic benefits. Wouldn't that be great?

Kong Lingchen and Chen Xiangxiu can also plant thorns. This kind of fruit tree is really suitable for planting in the northwest.

It's true that fruit trees like Acanthus can only be grown in the northwest. Its characteristics mean that it can only be grown in dry places, with large temperature differences between day and night, and not too much rain. This kind of fruit tree cannot be grown in the south.

But just because it can be planted in the northwest, it also means that it can restore oases to many deserted areas and bring benefits to the people in the northwest.

"It's indeed very good. Isn't this fruit said to be used as medicine and to make wine? It's also very good to eat alone. It can also be made into fruit drinks, jams, dried fruits, desserts, etc." Wang Cong followed suit. said.

"By the way, store manager, 80% of the 10,000 Acanthus plants here are for you. What do you plan to use them for?" Wang Cong looked at Chen Wenjiu and asked.

Chen Wenjiu: "..."

She actually doesn't know, but she has no shortage of fruit at all. The fruit stall in the hotel has all kinds of fruits.

As for chefs like Wang Cong who want to use fruits to make delicacies, they can also use fruits from the fruit stalls, not necessarily these acanthus fruits.

"Why don't you let the people in Yujia Village use it to make wine, or dry it and use it as medicine? After selling it for money, I will give you the money earned?" Wang Cong suggested.

"Actually, there is a market for selling fresh fruits directly. After all, there are very few fruits in this season. People in Yujia Village can sell them to rich people in the city and make money." Gao Xi also said.

"Well, that makes sense." Chen Wenjiu nodded.

Let the people in Yujia Village find a way to sell these fruits and then distribute the money to her. In this way, she doesn't need to think about other issues, she just needs to wait to receive the money.

How easy is it? It’s very suitable for her as a hands-off shopkeeper!
