Chapter 150 [Waste]

Jiang Lili looked at the golden hoop toy with a twitching mouth. The two ends were golden and the middle was red. It looked very plastic.

Master Liao snatched it away and said confidently, "This is called bloodline suppression. I'm going to beat that monkey's ass into pieces!"

Jiang Lili saw that Master Liao was having a hard time carrying the golden cudgel, which was estimated to be two feet long. "Isn't the golden cudgel for monkeys? You're not a monkey. What if a monkey snatches it and beats you up?"

"No!" Master Liao said confidently, "I have a trick up my sleeve!"

Jiang Lili helplessly spread her hands: "Brother, as long as you are happy."

She walked towards the village entrance. After all, this was not the modern world, so she wouldn't be embarrassed by being filmed and posted on short video websites.

Jiang Lili has already consulted the squad leader. Master Liao's sometimes smart and sometimes stupid behavior is probably due to the influence of his one and a half year old body, which is not as stable as that of an adult.

She was even afraid that Master Liao had been beaten stupid by the monkey!

The weather is gloomy and a bit stuffy today.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw coconut trees that were at least five meters high and densely arranged, interweaving into a canopy of emerald green. The road leading to the village was only wide enough for an ox cart to pass through, as if it had been carved out of the coconut grove. One could not imagine how hard the villagers of Yeli Village had worked to carve out such a road.

The villagers in the village all went to the beach, the mountains or to the farmland three or four miles away from the village to farm. The farmland closer to their residence was occupied by the neighboring village.

The bamboo poles in the hands of Jiang Lili and others were all made of thatch bamboo poles that the villagers had carefully selected. A long-handled sickle was attached to them to facilitate cutting the thick stems at the roots of coconuts.

Thatch bamboo can grow up to seven feet tall, and its poles can be as long as those towering coconut trees.

Jiang Lili caught a glimpse of the hesitation on everyone's face and said to them, "Don't worry, I'll have the people on the ship send some equipment over first to ensure safety."

"Everyone, lay out the coconut catching net first!"

Jiang Lili told Xiaopang last night that she wanted to cut down a large area of ​​coconut trees and asked Xiaopang to help purchase the equipment needed for the coconut cutting.

This fat guy has already ordered a batch of helmets, gloves and goggles to be delivered to his door.

Jiang Lili, Xin Che and Xin Cheng first went to Cangsha Ferry to deliver lunch boxes to the pirates and escorts, and then they returned to the village entrance carrying wooden boxes filled with equipment. At this time, everyone had already set up the fishing nets to catch coconuts.

There is no need to teach how to use gloves. Jiang Lili demonstrated to everyone how to put on a safety helmet and goggles.

Although the three generals of the Xin family can all perform Qinggong, the people in Zhaoping Marquis Mansion only let Xin Che, who has the best Qinggong, climb up the 15-meter-high tree to cut coconuts.

In order not to affect others from harvesting coconuts, Xin Che contracted the coconut trees next to the village road by himself.

As they donned their safety gear, everyone marveled at the novelties: "This hat is made of such thick material, yet so light on the head! I wonder if it'll hold up on the battlefield!"

"These goggles are what Miss Jiang wore back in Qinglin Mountain. The texture of the transparent surface is like colored glass, but it's much more transparent than colored glass!"

"These new things look so precious, Miss Jiang, are you sure you want to give them to us?"

Jiang Lili said seriously, "These are the things my grandfather found when he traveled overseas, and he asked the He family's ship to transport them here."

"Although it's precious, it's not as precious as your lives. Feel free to use it."

Jiang Lili's words were very insightful, and everyone was deeply moved. They worked harder and more boldly.

However, the coconuts on this tree are not as easy to cut as everyone imagines. The roots are tightly connected to the coconut tree, and you need to use a curved sickle on a bamboo pole to slowly cut back and forth. Everyone's hands became sore after holding the bamboo pole for a while.

Everyone was sweating profusely, and only five or six coconuts had fallen, and they were all a little anxious.

Tao Yansheng also tried it with his own long bamboo pole, but he started to blush and gasp for breath before he had held it for a while, and the coconuts on the tree didn't move at all. Seven-year-old Wen Xiaomei was very anxious, fearing that the coconuts would not fall and the big brother would fall down.

Seeing that Tao Yansheng's arms were shaking, Wen Xiaomei took the bamboo pole from his hand and reached for the coconut on the tree.

Tao Yansheng quickly warned: "Little girl, you better be careful!"

Everyone saw Wen Xiaomei waving the bamboo pole in her hand, and the three coconuts that were close to the tree were easily chopped down like cotton, without any effort!

Little Sister is worthy of being Little Sister!

Jiang Lili couldn't help but praise: "Little sister, you are amazing! You are the king today!"

The children also looked at Wen Xiaomei with envy and admiration. The strongman got it with just one move!

Seeing that a child had become the best among them, a military officer among the prisoners said, "I can climb trees, I'll go up and pick them. We're too slow like this."

But his family members immediately stopped him: "No, this is too dangerous!"

This is a five-meter-high tree. If you fall from it, you will lose your life.

Jiang Lili took out a bundle of wearable safety ropes from a wooden box: "I have safety ropes here!"

Jiang Lili sighed that Xiaopang was becoming more and more professional. He prepared a bundle of safety ropes that was 30 meters long, which was more than enough for climbing the coconut tree.

She asked Xin Cheng to put the safety rope on another coconut tree, "Two people pull this safety rope to pull the person up the tree!"

"Pay attention, and be diligent!"

Sure enough, the military officer climbed up the tree and chopped the coconut stalks of a cluster of coconuts with a knife. The coconuts began to fall faster and the cluster of coconuts fell down!

Their goal today is not to be too greedy, but to knock down all the coconuts that are ripe or nearly ripe to ensure everyone's safety for the next one or two months.

Then, they would slowly cut down the overgrown coconut trees and widen the road to a safe distance where coconuts wouldn't fall and hit anyone. The cut coconut trees could be used to build houses and make furniture...

Those who are strong pick coconuts, and the others are also busy helping to stack the picked coconuts.

By sunset, the coconut grove that was once full of fruits has now become empty. People no longer have to worry about their heads getting burned when walking under this coconut tree avenue.

There are already piles of coconut trees at the entrance of the village, and it is estimated that there are as many as four or five hundred of them.

After a busy day, everyone had sore backs and legs, and now they were troubled again when they saw these coconut hills.

Tao Yansheng: "These are all fresh coconuts. If they are not processed in time, they will easily dry out and spoil. It would be a pity to waste them."

Besides, they had already consumed a bunch of coconuts to quench their thirst and fill their stomachs while picking coconuts.

Even the super-strong girl Wen Xiaomei shook her head. She was exhausted today. "Stop talking. Seeing coconuts makes me want to vomit. I finally understand the feelings of the permanent residents of Yeli Village."
