Four hundred and ninetieth chapters fruitful(1/2)

"I really haven't cared about the orchard much during this period." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll call to ask."

Xia Rufei only went to the water tower for a few months to add some Lingxinhua petal solution. He left Cao Tieshu to take care of the orchard's specific care, so he himself was not sure whether the lychees and cherries were ripe.

But Cao Tieshu must have known it.

So Xia Ruofei took out his cell phone directly, found Cao Tieshu's phone and dialed it.

"Boss!" Cao Tieshu answered the phone quickly.

Xia Ruofei asked, "Old Cao, how is the fruit trees on our farm? It should be about to mature, right?"

Cao Tieshu hurriedly said, "Boss, you haven't been on the farm these days. I'm going to report to you! The cherries and lychees are already ripe, so it's best to pick them in the next few days."

"Is that true?" Xia Rufei was slightly surprised. "I remember that our variety of lychees should have matured around July, right?"

Xia Rufei introduced late-ripening cherries that matured almost in early June, and the lychees would be later.

Cao Tieshu said: "We are also surprised! The lychees grow very well this year, and they bear fruit earlier than normal times, and they are much larger than ordinary lychees!"

Xia Rufei thought for a moment and guessed the general reason: lychees originally grew in the southeast area and are most suitable for the water and soil here. With the promotion of the Lingxin Flower Petal Solution, they mature one month earlier than normal, and it is not surprising.

Cherries were introduced from the north and will definitely be somewhat unsuitable to the climate and environment of the south. Under the nourishment of the Lingxin Flower Petal Solution, favorable conditions and unfavorable conditions are basically offset, so they mature as scheduled.

I believe that cherries will mature earlier next year, because these cherry trees will definitely be more and more adapted to the environment in this south after a year of growth.

Thinking of this, Xia Rufei smiled and said, "It's nothing strange. The lychee seedlings I bought are improved varieties! Since the fruit trees are ripe, let's go to the orchard to take a look."

"Okay, I'll go there now!" Cao Tieshu said.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Lin Qiao: "Qiao'er, you are lucky, the fruits here are ripe."

"Yeah!" Lin Qiao cheered, "Go away!"

Xia Rufei said to Huzi's mother again: "Auntie, let's go and have a look?"

Huzi's mother smiled and said, "I won't join in the fun! You young people, go! I'll prepare lunch for you!"

Xia Ruofei didn't force himself when he heard this and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work... The ingredients are all in the refrigerator. If you see what you lack, tell me. I'll go to the county supermarket to buy it!"

"It's okay, you guys go!" Huzi's mother said with a smile.

Xia Rufei took Lin Qiao out and drove the pickup truck straight to the orchard.

On the way, Xia Ruofei thought about it, hung up Feng Jing again and asked her to go to the orchard together to take a look.

Soon the pickup truck drove along the flat concrete road of the farm to the orchard. Cao Tieshu and Feng Jing both walked over, so they hadn't arrived yet.

Xia Rufei and Lin Qiao got out of the car and walked up the mountain.

Along the way, I saw the fruit trees on both sides full of fruits. There were lychee trees on this side. I saw a bunch of heavy lychees pressing down the branches of the fruit trees. These red lychees looked particularly beautiful under the emerald green leaves, making people salivate.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but look at her and couldn't help but want to go over and pick it.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Little greedy cat! Don't worry! Let's talk about it when Lao Cao and the others come. We don't have tools in our hands, so do you pull it with your hands?"

Lin Qiao stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly.

The two of them wandered around the mountains for a while, enjoying the fruitful scenery in the orchard. Soon Cao Tieshu and Feng Jing arrived one after another.

The careful Cao Tieshu also brought baskets and large scissors to pick lychees.

"Chairman, I haven't come to the orchard for one day. I didn't expect that all the lychees have matured!" Feng Jing said with a smile.

Xia Ruofei responded with a smile: "It's not just lychees! The cherries over there are also ripe!"

Then Xia Rufei said again: "Old Cao brought all the tools, so let's try the lychees produced by this farm!"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Lin Qiao said quickly.

Feng Jing turned her eyes to Lin Qiao, then looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "Chairman, this person is..."

"Oh! I forgot to introduce it to you. This is my sister Lin Qiao. I just took the college entrance examination. Isn't it... I stayed in our farm for a while." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Qiao'er, this is Feng Jing, the general manager of our Taoyuan Company!"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Hello Sister Feng Jing!"

Feng Jing also showed a gentle smile and said, "Hello! Sister Lin Qiao is so beautiful! It seems that our chairman's family has a really good gene!"

"Sister Feng Jing, you are beautiful!" Lin Qiao said with a smile, "But you guessed it wrong! Brother Ruofei and I have no blood relationship, so I have nothing to do with their genes!"

Xia Rufei explained from the side: "Qiao'er is a comrade-in-arms and the sister of my brothers in life and death. Although we are not related by blood, she is the same as my own sister in my heart."

A trace of loss flashed in Lin Qiao's eyes, but it was fleeting.

Feng Jing saw it in her eyes. She thoughtful and glanced at Xia Rufei with a smile, but said nothing.

Lin Qiao couldn't wait to pick lychees, but Cao Tieshu hurriedly said, "I have to wait a moment!"

After saying that, Cao Tieshu brought a ladder and put it on a lychee tree next to it. Then he cut some leaves with scissors and placed them on the bottom of the basket.

Then he came down and handed the scissors to Lin Qiao, saying, "This lychee is so expensive. You have to put something in the basket, otherwise it will easily rot after being injured by friction."

Lin Qiao took the scissors and climbed up the ladder agilely.

Xia Ruofei hurried over to help the escalator and said, "Qiao'er, slow down, don't fall!"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay!"

The tree is full of ripe red lychees. Lin Qiao quickly grabbed one of them and cut them off with scissors.

"Brother Ruofei, continue!" Lin Qiao said.

Xia Rufei reached out to take the heavy string of lychees and put them into the basket at his feet.

Lin Qiao picked it very quickly because she could get lychees from this tree at will.

The fruit-bearing rate of this lychee is also ridiculously high, almost twice as high as that of an average lychee tree.

This yield surprised Cao Tieshu secretly, but he still felt a little worried.

He has lived in the village for decades and is very clear that the mountain seems to be not very good in soil. I heard that the soil has some problems with pH. Some people have contracted to plant fruit trees before, but the fruits produced are all sour and astringent, and they cannot swallow them at all.

The fruits produced by these lychees and the cherry trees on the other side of the mountain are big and red, and look great, but Cao Tieshu is unsure of the specific taste.

He was worried that these were embroidered pillows, which looked glossy, but actually tasted very bad.

Then the fruit trees all over the mountain will be wasted the early investment.

Lin Qiao didn't think so much. She was happily picking lychees with scissors.

Soon the small baskets brought by Cao Tieshu were filled with them, and there were basically no less lychees on this lychee tree.

Xia Ruofei raised his head and shouted, "Qiao'er, it's almost done, I can't hold it anymore!"

Only then did Lin Qiao come down from the tree with unfulfilled desire.

This basket of lychees is red and exudes a natural fruity aroma, which makes people feel appetite.

Xia Ruofei smiled and called Cao Tieshu and Feng Jing over, saying, "Everyone can try it! This was picked by Qiaoer himself!"

Xia Ruofei said, picking off the lychees and handing them to everyone.

Cao Tieshu took the lychee and opened the outer skin with some trepidation, revealing the thick, round, white and flawless flesh. At the same time, the fruity fragrance suddenly became even stronger. He sniffed and gritted his teeth to send the lychee into his mouth.

With a gentle bite, a sweet juice suddenly filled the entire mouth. The fragrance and softness and sweet taste immediately shocked Cao Tieshu. He couldn't help but chew it in a few more times, and then spit out a very small core.

After eating this one, Cao Tieshu couldn't help but push away the outer skin of the second lychee.

Feng Jing and Lin Qiao have also tasted the lychees they had just picked, and both of them were lit up.

"It's so delicious! It's fragrant and sweet! And there's so much juice..." Lin Qiao said in a slut while eating.

Feng Jing couldn't help but exclaim: "Chairman, these lychees are of great quality! I think they taste much better than those sold in those boutique fruit supermarkets!"

Cao Tieshu also said excitedly: "Boss, these lychees are so delicious! I have never eaten such delicious lychees!"

As a Southeastern Province, Cao Tieshu naturally ate a lot of lychees before, but this time the lychees produced in the orchard of Taoyuan Farm gave him a completely different feeling. The natural and fresh fruit fragrance made him feel relaxed and happy.

Lin Qiao kept eating lychees here, and couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but say, "Qiao'er, eat less! This thing can make you angry! Aren't you afraid of acne?"

Lin Qiao said voraciously: "I recognize the acne, and you must not let go of delicious food..."

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "There will be cherries later! Don't you keep some belly?"

Lin Qiao paused, reached out to Lizhi's hand and retracted, and said, "It makes sense! Brother Ruofei, let's go pick cherries!"

"Let's go! Let's see how the cherries look!" Xia Rufei said with a smile.

The group then walked along the orchard path towards the other side of the mountain. Along the way were full of fruitful lychee trees. The red lychees and green leaves complemented each other, and the beautiful scenery was pleasing to the eye.

Cao Tieshu carried the ladder, while Xia Rufei carried the small basket himself.

There was also half a basket of lychees in the basket, but Xia Rufei held it in one hand and seemed as light as nothing, which was quite relaxing.

Soon everyone arrived at the Cherry Orchard.

"So beautiful!" Lin Qiao couldn't help but exclaim.

What caught my eye was the cherry trees, which were covered with purple-red cherries.

The skin of the lychees before was relatively rough, with small blocky lobes, like a turtle's back armor, so the visual effect was not as shocking as that of a cherry.

The cherries here are crystal clear, like rubies dotted in the green sea.
