Chapter 175: Opening the Giant Durian
There were so many fruits in Ye Zhen's talisman that the family asked their younger brother Ye to go out and help collect the corn stalks in order to make it easier to sort and pack them.
A few days after the corn was harvested, the green leaves were all plucked by the hardworking Grandma Ye and her colleagues to feed the rabbits, leaving only bare corn stalks in the field. They were tall and thick, attracting the attention of the villagers.
Someone looked at Father Ye who was cutting corn stalks in the field and asked curiously, "Haizi, are you planting sugarcane in this field? Isn't it a little early to harvest now?"
Their village doesn’t grow much sugarcane. Unlike other villages that specialize in sugar production, the fields are full of various sugarcanes, green-skinned, purple-skinned, black-skinned, and white-skinned…
Of course, we will also plant some for our own consumption. Whether we want to make brown sugar or just chew it directly, we will not cut it down too early.
Unless they are to be transported to other places, they will be cut earlier, so the taste will naturally not be as sweet. For home use, they are usually left in the fields and cut when eaten.
But everyone saw that the Ye family didn’t plant much sugarcane, and if they cut it too early, it wouldn’t be sweet.
Father Ye urged the lazy little brother Ye to practice cutting sugar cane, while looking up and shouting back:
"This isn't sugar cane, this is corn stalks."
Father Ye was a little proud. Where in this area could you find so many amazing crops? He compared them and found that these corn stalks were as thick as his arms. Ordinary sugarcanes could not compare to them in thickness.
Ye Shan, the eldest son of Ye Facai, opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Impossible, how can there be such corn stalks!"
I hurried forward to check it out, and saw that the skin was still green, which was obviously sugarcane!
Father Ye didn't say much. He cut off a tree with a sickle and threw a piece to each of the people.
"Look, isn't this a corn stalk? It's just a little bit special. It's very sweet, just as sweet as sugar cane."
Ye Shan took it, and green juice flowed out, sweet and with a fresh scent of corn.
Several people exclaimed: "This is really a corn stalk! Is this sweet?"
Father Ye wanted to show off his daughter. "The seeds were obtained by my Ye Zi. You can't buy them anywhere else. Only my Ye Zi has the ability to obtain these good seeds. You can try one yourself."
Ye Shan peeled off the skin in a few seconds, revealing the green and red skin of the stem. When he bit into it, juice oozed out, and it was sweet and juicy when he chewed it.
Several people in the village were chatting, and then left because of various things, without thinking about anything else.
Only Ye Shan thought for a moment and stayed in the field. With a smile on his face, he hurried forward to help cut the corn stalks. He didn't have any extra sickles, so he just pulled them out with his hands. Father Ye was so scared that he quickly said:
"Aren't you going to release water to harvest rice? Go quickly. There's no need to bother. When the machines come, they won't be able to find you."
There wasn't much left in the cornfield. Little Brother Ye was at the other end. I don't know what Ye Zhen said to him, but he got energized and started working very quickly.
One man worked hard to cut a ridge of land. It wouldn't take him long to finish his own piece of land, so he didn't need much help from others.
Ye Shan blushed slightly after hearing this, "It's okay, just help me collect it first..."
Although I haven’t seen the corn yield, the seeds are good!
Based on his twenty years of farming experience, he knew that the corn stalks had a high sugar content and could definitely be used to extract sugar, and the green leaves could be used to feed livestock, so corn was another huge output.
This means that you can harvest three things from just one crop, saving a lot of farming costs. This is much more cost-effective than just growing sugarcane and pasture!
Ye Shan's eyes lit up and he worked even harder. He quickly pulled out a bunch of corn stalks and turned around to continue working without waiting for Ye's father to refuse.
He also wanted to grow such a good variety, but others might not see the value and leave, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly and could only help out in small ways.
"Brother Haizi, please let me help you. I will be too embarrassed to ask you for help later."
Father Ye was confused, "What's the matter?"
Ye Shan asked shamelessly, "Do you still have corn seeds? Can I buy some?"
Afraid that Ye's father would not agree, Ye Shan quickly said, "Not too much, just enough to plant half an acre of land."
You can also grow it at home and eat it! It is easier to chew than sugarcane skin, and both the elderly and children can eat it, and it is very sweet.
Father Ye thought it was something serious, but he relaxed when he heard it. He laughed and said, "Just tell me directly. It's just a small matter. You have to work for half a day."
Ye Shan also put aside his trepidation and said with a smile, "That won't do. It shouldn't be easy to get this kind of seeds. I haven't heard of them anywhere else. I have to help. Otherwise, how can I ask for help?"
Jokes aside, Dad Ye is not as straightforward as before. If it is his seeds, it’s no big deal to sell them.
He couldn't make the decision about Ye Zi, so he prepared for the other party in advance: "This seed was obtained by my Ye Zi, I have to ask her later."
Ye Shan nodded, "Yes, I'll ask your Ye Zi later."
The task was settled, and the few of them worked for half the morning. Before Brother Ye ran out of energy, they finally finished harvesting the cornfield.
There was a man named Ye Shan over there, who said that the harvester had arrived and he wanted to invite everyone to dinner at his home after the rice was harvested.
This also reminded Father Ye that he didn't know when the several acres of rice on his own property would be harvested.
To be honest, the way those acres of rice were growing made Ye's father a little undecided.
So amazing.
There are large clusters of rice that are much taller than people. The hanging rice grains are of various colors and shapes. Some are round, some are long and oval, some are pointed at two ends, and some are flat in the middle and round around. In addition, the rice grains are very large.
How dare I let others see the grains in the rice fields?
It was not until Ye Zhen set up a formation on the ground to confuse the vision of ordinary people that they felt at ease.
Now that the late rice planted by others can be harvested, it should be about the same time for my own seeds to be planted.
When I get back I have to ask when the leaves are ripe so that I can prepare to harvest them and store them in the warehouse.
Ye Shan was helping to move the corn stalks together. When he heard someone calling him, he turned around and said to Ye's father:
"Haizi, this work is almost done. I'm going back first."
Father Ye quickly stopped him and said, "It's not appropriate to invite you to come over even though you have guests today. Come to my house for dinner tonight."
It is both a thank you to Ye Facai for the honey he sent, and a thank you for the work he did today.
Ye Shan didn't hesitate, nodded and left.
After finishing his work, Brother Ye remembered the promise made by his sister and thought that all that was left was to pull the corn stalks back. He said hello to Father Ye and went back home in a hurry.
Ye Zhen took out a giant durian.
If ordinary durian has a strong taste, then when the giant durian appears, the taste is multiplied.
The whole yard is filled with the unique smell of durian. People who don't like it hate it to death, and people who like it love it terribly. Unfortunately, the Ye family has two extremes.
The giant durian is very big. Any one you pick out is a Baoen durian. It has six full lobes, and one lobe would fill up a basin.
Ye Ma and a few others held the fruit in their hands and ate it with a look of intoxication on their faces. The flesh was delicate and fragrant, and they fell in love with it at the first bite.
Ye Zhen peeled all the durian, put the shells into a storage talisman, and placed the durian flesh in a basin.
There was so much meat that the family couldn’t finish it all, so they froze some in the refrigerator and made durian dessert under Ye Zhen’s guidance.
Durian pastry, durian cake, durian thousand layers, durian cake...
Thanks to Ye Zhen's love of online shopping, he bought a lot of strange and useful things, and the few of them were able to make desserts at home and eat their fill.
"No, I really can't eat anymore." Mother Ye touched her stomach exaggeratedly.
"This thing is delicious. Normally, we wouldn't be able to afford it because it's too expensive!" Grandma Ye prefers fresh fruit pulp to desserts.
The group consumed most of the fruit in the morning, leaving two large basins with the golden flesh emitting a rich fragrance. Ye Di ran home and smelled the alluring aroma before he even entered the door.
My eyes suddenly brightened, and my body, which had been working for half the morning, came back to life.
"Sister! My dear sister, you really bought durian!" Little Brother Ye was surprised.
You really can't blame him. For more than a decade, he has only seen durian and eaten desserts made with durian, but has never bought it, or even eaten the fresh flesh.
So this is what durian tastes like!
Little Brother Ye washed his hands, and couldn’t wait to stuff a big piece into his mouth, eating it with enjoyment.
"Sister, you are so nice. This durian is so delicious." Brother Ye was very touched.
His sister said that as long as he worked for the family, she would buy him the durian he had longed to eat.
More than twenty or thirty pounds!
One must cost several hundred, right?
His sister kept her word and really bought it for him.
Ye Zhen didn't feel guilty at all. There was no difference between growing it herself and buying it. As long as she could give it to her, it was fine.
Seeing that Ye Xiaodi was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears, Ye Zhen couldn't bear to watch, "Look at you, I bought you such an expensive computer, what's a few hundred dollars worth of durian? Listen to me and keep exercising in the future, and stay in bed less. There will be better things waiting for you in the future."
Before Ye Xiaodi nodded, Ye's father's loud voice came from outside the door.
"Whose toilet exploded? It stinks!"
"It stinks so badly, I can't stand it, I can't bear it anymore!"
The giant durian was so powerful that even after it was peeled, the smell lingered in the yard for a long time. Father Ye, who was standing behind, was so smelly that he rolled his eyes before he even entered the door.
Father Ye covered his nose with the hem of his clothes. The smell got worse as he walked into the house. He came in with a bitter face and asked:
"Our toilet exploded? This is too stinking."
When I came over, I saw two bowls of durian pulp and various desserts on the table. Little Brother Ye was eating the yellow stuff in big mouthfuls, which had the strongest taste.
He was horrified, "Yangzi, what did you eat?"
In fact, Ye's father wanted to say that the other party was eating shit, but seeing that everyone seemed to enjoy it as if they didn't smell it, he shut up tactfully.
He covered his face and wished he could hide in the room, close the door, and spray some toilet water to disinfect!
Little Brother Ye was eating with gusto, and seemed unable to understand.
"Dad, this durian smells so good, where does the bad smell come from?"
It turned out to be durian. Ye Zhen handed it to him and asked him if he wanted to eat it.
Dad Ye shook his head vigorously. The smell drifted into his nose and he wanted to vomit. He quickly shook his head and said, "I won't eat it!" It was too stinky.
All right!
Ye Zhen shrugged and ate it in one bite.
