Chapter 147 Temptation
The fruit trees on the mountain have grown!
Since the spiritual marrow was buried, the fruit trees on the mountain have transformed rapidly, and the surrounding spiritual energy has become more and more dense.
Ye Zhen observed carefully along the mountain road and found that two of the mature fruit trees had begun to automatically absorb spiritual energy, and their leaves were as green as emerald green.
One is a litchi tree and the other is a peach tree.
The two trees slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of the mountains. Their trunks became smooth, and parts of their rough bark became jade-like. From a distance, they no longer looked like ordinary trees.
Ye Zhen stood under the tree in surprise, not for any other reason, but because she had found something good!
Peach gum!
Peach gum with a faint aura!
This peach tree is several meters tall. It was transplanted and pruned when it was first built, leaving only the main trunk and three other branches.
I really forgot what variety of peach it was, but the peach gum picked from the peach tree is edible!
Ye Zhen didn't have anything to put the things in, so he called his younger brother Ye and asked him to get a small basin to put them in.
She gave all the family members their spiritual energy, and they could enter and exit the formation set up in the back mountain at will.
After a while, Brother Ye came
"Sister, my sister, you saved my life!" Brother Ye was panting with exhaustion.
He couldn't stand carrying bricks in the valley anymore, so when Ye Zhen called him, he felt liberated. He dropped his load and ran home happily.
"Sister, what do you want to do? Let me do it and you take a rest!" Young brother Ye held the basin diligently, looking at Ye Zhen with sharp eyes, just waiting for her to speak.
Ye Zhen: “…” There’s no need to be so exaggerated.
"Nothing much. See what's on the tree? Pick them all."
Brother Ye followed the line of sight and suddenly realized:
“Peach gum!”
"Hey! Sister, this fruit tree looks unusual?" Little Brother Ye walked around the tree.
"Of course, good varieties of peach trees must be different, otherwise they would be so expensive?" Ye Zhen lied without blinking.
Well, Brother Ye scratched his head and picked up peach gum:
"The peach gum on this tree is quite beautiful!" It feels like it is glowing
There are many fruit trees planted in rural areas, including quite a few peach trees. When I was a child, Grandma Ye would pick peach gum from the peach trees in the village.
Wash the picked peach gum and soak it in water, it will become transparent.
Peach gum is usually stewed with soapberry rice, milk and papaya and eaten as a dessert.
But Grandma Ye is different. She makes the peach gum into a dish by adding soy sauce, light soy sauce and chili peppers. She pours a spoonful of it on the rice. It is delicious and goes well with rice.
After picking the berries twice, Brother Ye's face fell again, and he muttered:
"There's only this one tree? You can't pick more than a few pieces from this little tree." After picking the bricks, he had to go back to help move the bricks.
Little Brother Ye was discouraged. He picked the seeds from the tree slowly, one by one, deliberately slacking off.
Ye Zhen snorted and laughed, "Okay, if you keep doing this, you won't be able to finish it in a whole morning!"
"Pick the peach gum from this tree and put it somewhere else. There are many more peach trees on the mountain. Go find them and pick them all."
"Really? Leave it all to me, I will definitely pick them all cleanly." Brother Ye's eyes lit up.
He guaranteed that this job was much easier than carrying sand and bricks!
He can do it, and he will do it!
Let him stay in the mountains until school starts. There has never been a moment when he seems so eager to go to school.
Ye Zhen left the task to Ye Xiaodi with satisfaction and went home by herself as she still had things to do.
Taking out carving and polishing tools of various sizes, Ye Zhen carried the big stone. The last time he cut one side of it, Ye Zhen made some bracelets and pendants from it.
This time she planned to grind off the entire outer layer of the jade to see what it looked like inside.
Only then can you carve things according to the size of the jade inside.
Ye Zhen moved the stone to the table and used tools to grind away the surface layer of stone bit by bit.
On the other side, Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law Huang Xi'e was struggling.
These days, she was dragged by her friends in the county to play mahjong, and she lost all the tuition money that her husband Ye Yong had prepared for the two children.
She was angry and anxious, and since she had no money in her pocket, she wanted to go home.
But Sister Hong stopped her and said, "Why did you leave? Everyone is having fun, it would be a big disappointment if you left alone."
Huang Xi'e was a little embarrassed: "I want to play too, it's just that my luck is so bad! I haven't won much in a few days!"
The woman named Sister Hong had curly hair, willow-shaped eyebrows, bright red lipstick, a gold bracelet and two gold rings on her hands, and two golden hoop earrings.
She was wearing a floral dress, which showed that she must be living a good life. Her skin was delicate and you wouldn't know that she was almost 40 years old.
Huang Xi'e was both envious and jealous. She looked at the lives of others and then looked at herself. Although she did not do much work, she could not eat or wear as much as others.
The child is so old now, but except for a small wedding ring, her wrists and neck are empty.
Sister Hong smiled and said in a friendly voice:
"Hey! Isn't it just money? Why don't you borrow some from me first? We are sisters and have known each other for such a long time. Just take this little money."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and transferred a thousand yuan to Huang Xi'e, "Use it first, and we'll tell you if it's not enough."
Huang Xi'e was surprised and happy: "Isn't this a bit too much?" But she took it honestly.
Sister Hong smiled with an ambiguous tone, and then patted Huang Xi'e's arm enthusiastically:
"That's nothing. I can make more than that in an hour."
Huang Xi'e opened her eyes wide in surprise
Wow, what kind of job pays so much?
I felt curious and itchy in my heart, as if I was being scratched by a cat. I wanted to ask something but didn't know how to open my mouth.
Sister Hong smiled but said nothing. A fellow card player opposite her also wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to do so.
"Come on, let's start playing? Why did you stop?" Sister Hong shouted enthusiastically and reshuffled the cards.
The other three immediately started fighting, and Huang Xi'e could only put what had just happened to heart for the time being.
"Why did I lose again? No, no, I've had bad luck with cards these past few days. It's so bad! Maybe next time!"
Huang Xi'e couldn't bear it any longer, her eyes were red, she declined a new round and planned to go home.
"Yeah, I can't stand it anymore." Another poker player also declined. It was because he had lost a lot in the past few days and had no money left.
The man sitting next to Sister Hong joked:
"No way, you guys can't hold on any longer? Don't you see that our sister Hong is older than you? She looks much more energetic than you now."
"How can we compare with Sister Hong? Sister Hong has made so much money these days. She is so happy. We can't compare with her."
Huang Xi'e couldn't help but say that she and another person always lost when playing mahjong these days. If she didn't know that there was another person who made money like Sister Hong, she would have suspected that the other party was cheating.
For this reason, Huang Xi'e exchanged seats with the other party several times, but still lost!
In addition, I had borrowed money from Sister Hong several times, and the bets were getting bigger and bigger, so I felt a little scared.
"We really have to leave. We can't bear it any longer. Let others take our place so we can continue to fight with you?"
"Okay, okay, you guys just go back and rest!"
Sister Hong winked at the man next to her, and smiled as she told Huang Xi'e and the other man to go first.
After Huang Xi'e left, Sister Hong stopped fighting and got up to go back.
After a while, two people followed behind, one was the man next to Sister Hong, and the other was another woman at the mahjong table.
The man smiled and pinched Sister Hong's face, "How much did you earn?"
Sister Hong curled her lips and smiled, then used her hand to show the other party the account balance.
The man smiled and said, "Good, I caught two more fat sheep."
The other woman rolled her eyes at the man, then turned around and asked Sister Hong carefully:
"These two people don't have much money, why do we need to bring them in?"
Sister Hong snorted, "These two, the woman is greedy and likes to take advantage of others. There is no one at home except the child, and the man is idle and fantasizes about getting rich every day. He is lazy and cowardly and bullies others at home."
Facing the woman's puzzled look, Sister Hong continued:
"When the time is right, we will let them join our company to help with the work. As long as we keep them hooked with money, these two people have no conscience and their moral sense is pitifully low. They will work wholeheartedly. It is much safer than hiring people ourselves."
The man smiled and flattered Sister Hong: "Sister Hong still has a way!"
Sister Hong looked very proud and told the other woman:
"I'll ask those people in the company to make more phone calls and add more old men and young people on WeChat. Oh, right, aren't there a few young girls in the company? Start a live broadcast to show your faces and sell all the company's products."
The woman was obviously a little scared in front of Sister Hong. She kept nodding her head and was humble.
Sister Hong smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Work hard and try to get more orders. The more commission you will get. When you pay back the loan from me, won't you be able to keep the money by then?"
The woman suddenly felt like she was given an injection of chicken blood. She borrowed a lot from Sister Hong. It was only a little at the beginning, and she couldn't pay it back later due to the compounded interest. Fortunately, Sister Hong introduced her to the company and let her manage a team. She could get a lot of commission for every successful order, and she had almost paid off the loan from Sister Hong.
Her good days are coming!
After the woman left, the man raised his thumb and praised: "You are still the best! This girl has been completely convinced by you. She has worked for you for so long in vain, and she hasn't received a penny yet."
Sister Hong raised her eyebrows: "It's still early. Those who can really work for me haven't taken the bait yet."
Stupid and vicious, without conscience and sympathy, and greedy for money, isn't this prepared for her?
