Chapter 52
At night, the family of three washed up and went to rest. They lay on the soft mattress of the big wooden bed and fell asleep soon.
I slept until I woke up naturally the next morning. When I woke up, I felt more relaxed than ever before. I couldn't help but sigh that this is a great place, very suitable for rest.
After breakfast, Chen Hao felt energetic and wanted to study. Chen's father also had something to do. Only Zhang Meili had nothing to do, so she looked at the little girl at the front desk.
"Girl, is there anywhere else to play around here?"
The chubby girl was on duty at the front desk today. She has lost a lot of weight recently, her skin has become whiter, and she is more confident. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "There is nothing to do nearby except our place. However, if the guests feel bored, they can go to the area near our boss's house at the foot of the mountain.
There are waterfalls, rivers and orchards near her house. The fruits should be ripe and ready to eat.
The fruit from her shop is very famous in Wumeng, you might know it."
"How famous?"
"It's the fruit from the Lin family orchard, did you know that?"
Lin’s Orchard, don’t tell me, Zhang Meili actually knows it!
Her son is preparing for the college entrance exams, and as parents, they can't do anything to help him. The only thing they can do is to make sure he eats and drinks well. She occasionally hears from friends that there is a fruit store that sells particularly delicious fruits, but they are always sold out and can't be bought.
She was also curious about how delicious the cherries were and whether they were exaggerated, so she asked for the address and went there early the next morning. However, she found that there was a long line at the store, and she was lucky enough to buy the last few cherries.
The cherries were as big as ping-pong balls and full of juice. She ate one and wanted more. She just tasted one and ate a lot without realizing it. Plus, she didn't buy many, so when she came to her senses, there was only one left.
She took it home and gave it to her son to try. He liked it very much. She also liked it and went to the store to buy some more, but the store owner said that the daily supply was limited. She also queued up there, but each time she failed to buy any. After asking around, she found out that the fruit was from the Lin Family Orchard.
I don't know where the Lin family orchard is, otherwise she would have come to kill them long ago.
Now, after hearing this, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and the thought of the taste of the cherries immediately made her feel greedy.
"Are the cherries as big as ping-pong balls?"
"Yes, but I guess you can't eat cherries these two days. You can only eat strawberries and some other fruits."
"How do you get there?"
"Go along the road from the parking lot, it's at the foot of the mountain, go through the orchard, cross the river, the first house you see is the boss's house."
Zhang Meili could drive, so this short distance was no problem for her. She took the car key and went out immediately. She drove along the road and saw a grove of fruit trees before she got down the mountain. She knew without hesitation that it was the Lin family orchard.
After going down the mountain, we saw a bridge passing through the middle of the orchard. There was a family on the opposite side. We parked the car in front of the Lin family's house. Looking at the Lin family's house, Zhang Meili couldn't help but envy them.
It is better to live in the countryside. You can renovate your house however you want and make it as big as you want. They can only buy buildings. If you want to live in a small villa on the second floor of a single-family house, you really can't afford it.
Unfortunately, she also wanted to build a house in the countryside, but she did not have a rural household registration and could not get a foundation. She had no choice but to buy a room in a residential building and live in the same building with a group of people. She had to be very careful every day, fearing that the noise would be too loud and the neighbors downstairs would complain.
I walked up and pressed the doorbell, and soon the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was a young girl. Zhang Meili was stunned for a moment.
Why is there a foreigner here?
Wrong way?
She took a step back in confusion, but heard the girl ask in standard Chinese: "Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Meili curled her lips and said, "Hello, is this the Lin Family Orchard?"
"Yes." Lin Nanxuan nodded: "Do you want to buy some fruit?"
Their fruit is very famous, but now they basically cooperate with fruit stores, supermarkets and stalls, and no one comes to buy fruit. So when she saw Zhang Meili, Lin Nanxuan didn't think about it at all until Zhang Meili mentioned the orchard.
"We are here to visit the inn. We heard that your orchard is here, so we wanted to buy some fruit."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Nanxuan stepped aside and invited the person in, saying as she walked, "We grow a lot of fruits in our orchard, but currently we only have strawberries, pomegranates, cherries, and loquats.
You can go into the orchard to pick them, or we can pick them for you to buy.
If you pick them yourself, it's a bit more expensive, strawberries are 60 yuan per pound, pomegranates are 30, cherries are 50, and loquats are 30. You can eat them inside, and they come with a small basket you can make yourself.
If we pick them, the baskets are free. Strawberries are 18, pomegranates are 8, cherries are 12, and loquats are 6 pieces. They are sold by the kilogram. "
Zhang Meili couldn't tell the difference in such a big orchard, and she also planned to go to the waterfall to take a look. She just saw that the scenery at the gate was very good, so she didn't plan to go there alone.
"I won't go in to pick them. You guys pick them. I'll buy everything except the pomegranates. I'll probably buy three baskets of each. I'm going to go see the waterfall first and come back to get them later, okay?"
Lin Nanxuan nodded.
After seeing Zhang Meili off, Lin Nanxuan went to call Lin's mother and called Lin Nanzhi next door to inform his family. Finally, the family of six went out, holding baskets and heading towards the orchard.
It was probably almost time for dinner when Zhang Meili came back, and Lin Nanxuan weighed her in front of her.
The basket is sold separately and is not included in the weight. I took an empty basket, skinned it first, and then weighed it.
"Strawberries are 18 yuan per pound. Two baskets, one weighing 7.4 pounds and the other weighing 7.2 pounds. Both weigh 7 pounds, 18*14\\u003d252 yuan. Cherries are 12 yuan per pound. Peeled cherries weigh 17 pounds in total, 12*17\\u003d204 yuan. Loquats are 6 pieces per pound, a total of 15 pounds, 6*15\\u003d90 yuan.
The basket is ten yuan each. Since you are a new customer, we won’t charge you. It’s five hundred and forty-six. Just give five hundred and forty.”
Zhang Meili did not complain that it was too expensive. After all, the prices in other places were higher than this one. She thought that it must be because she said she was visiting the inn for fun that the price was cheaper, so she did not pay less.
She took out 600 yuan and handed it over, but Lin Nanxuan only took 540 yuan and gave her 60 yuan in change. After pushing each other for a while, she said, "How about this, I'll take 540 yuan from you, and you just need to go back and promote the inn to attract more customers."
"Okay, that's a bit embarrassing, I will definitely tell my friends about it."
Lin Nanxuan smiled and nodded, helped put the basket into the car, took the electronic scale and turned back home.
Zhang Meili is also a down-to-earth person. After returning to the inn, she found the fruit delicious and immediately told her friends about it. After the May Day holiday, she came to pick some fruit and took it home, spending more than 1,000 yuan. After returning, she kept telling her colleagues about the beautiful scenery of Lianwu Lake, the comfort of the inn, the spectacular waterfalls and rivers, and the sweetness of the fruit. Lianwu Lake has really attracted many guests.
When I came here, I was full of doubts, but after playing once, I wanted to come again, and there were people coming to the inn every day. Even if they didn't stay at the inn, they would row a boat to pick fruits, and even check in at the door of Lin Nan Zhijia to see tassels and roses.
