Chapter 253 Picking Thorny Fruit

Chen Jiana and Cai Xia looked at the others with envy. It was really a blessing to be able to watch the snow scene team building, but it was a pity that they couldn't go because they had to work.

Of course, what they envied even more was the people in the kitchen. It was really enviable that a big boss like Chef He helped them support the kitchen and let them all have a holiday.

Chen Wenjiu didn't care so much anymore and took all the human employees of the hotel except He Zui, Chen Jiana and Cai Xia to the fictional plane of the Republic of China.

In the fictional plane of the Republic of China, Yujia Village in the northern part of Qin Province.

Chen Wenjiu and the others arrived at an open space outside Yujia Village, which happened to be next door to the thornberry forest. As soon as they came over, they saw the woods all over the hillside.

Acanthus has planted more than 200 acres of land, almost a slightly larger hillside, and it is growing very strong.

The leaves of Thorny Thorn are now green, and the emerald green looks very beautiful, and it is very eye-catching among the snowy scenery all over the mountains and plains.

According to Chen Nuannuan, the leaves of this plant can change. When it is cold, its leaves are emerald green. The colder the leaves, the greener they become. When the temperature is high, the leaves will gradually turn red.

Of course, after turning red, the leaves will not become redder as the temperature rises. When the temperature rises, the leaves of Thorns will probably turn red and green, that is, the outer ring of the leaves will be red and the middle will be green, two colors. It blends very well.

It's winter now and it's still snowing, so the leaves of Thornberry are green and very conspicuous among the white snow. But in fact, the fruits of the thorns are now mature, and the green leaves are dotted with a lot of red, which is also very beautiful.

"Wow - so much snow!" Chen Jiayue looked at the snowy scene in front of her and cheered happily, "Let's go play, Sister Xiaohong!"

"Okay, okay." Wei Xiaohong was very interested and ran away with Chen Jiayue.

Chen Wenjiu: "..."

She was too lazy to pay attention to the others, but went to Yu Xiaoguo and the others to see if it was time to harvest the thorn fruits? And how are the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep they have raised in the past few months?

When Chen Nuannuan and his group of wood-type superpowers came to help regenerate the thorn fruit trees, they also regenerated all the grass planted under the fruit trees, so the people of Yujiacun could have abundant pasture to raise poultry and livestock.

Of course, when the superpowers were growing fruit trees and pastures, they also helped the people of Yujia Village grow some food. Otherwise, how could they rely on Chen Wenjiu to provide them with so much food?

The superpowers only gave birth to a batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and beans for the people of Yujia Village, and then they needed to continue to grow them themselves.

After all, the superpowers only accepted Chen Wenjiu's employment this time, which could be regarded as relieving the urgent needs of the people in Yujiacun and nearby areas and allowing them to survive. The rest was up to them.

"Sister, store manager?"

Yu Xiaoguo, who was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village, saw Chen Wenjiu and the others. He happily ran over to Chen Wenjiu and said, "Sister, store manager, you are here."

"Sister, store manager, my father said you asked us to plant these thorn berries, and he said we can only pick them after you come, sister."

"Sister, are we going to pick fruits now? Or should we have a meal at our house first?" Yu Xiaoguo happily asked Chen Wenjiu.

"Store manager...sister." Yu Xiaoguo's sister Yu Xiaohua also accompanied her brother to wait for Chen Wenjiu and the others. Now when she saw this sister who looked very richly dressed, she greeted softly with some fear.

Chen Wenjiu looked at Yu Xiaohua, smiled and greeted her, "Hello, Xiaohua."

Yu Xiaohua is like many girls in this era. Although she is the first child in the family, she is not so favored because she is a girl. However, Yu Chunsheng and Liu Pandi are not the kind who do not treat their daughters as human beings. So although her character is shy, she is also a very lovable girl.

Yu Xiaohua also attended the literacy class of the experts who came to Yujia Village to build the northwest. Although she was a girl, the experts treated her equally. They had no idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. In their opinion, everyone must recognize her. You must learn to count words.

Not only Yu Xiaohua, but other girls and women in the village also have to go to school to learn to read. They do not accept that there are so many illiterate people where they live.

Although Yu Xiaohua is still a little shy, she has changed a lot. But today, besides Chen Wenjiu, there were many tall and powerful men, and she was actually a little scared.

"Xiaoguo, is your village ready? If you are ready, go ahead and pick fruits. We won't eat. We came here after eating." Chen Wenjiu touched the boy's head and said , "Let's go and ask your father and the others to pick fruits together."

"Okay!" Yu Xiaoguo nodded happily.

Yu Xiaoguo was also very excited. He watched helplessly as everyone planted the thorn fruit trees, and watched helplessly as the store manager sister hired a group of people to help make the fruit trees bloom and bear fruit. Now the fruits of the fruit trees are finally ripe. He has wanted to pick it for a long time.

There are more than two hundred acres of ripe thorn fruits, and the sweet smell is very attractive. Not only the people in Yujiacun are attracted, but the animals nearby are also very fond of it.

If the people in Yujiacun hadn't been on strict guard, these fruits would have been destroyed long ago. But thanks to the animals that give fruits, people in Yujia Village have been able to eat meat recently.

"Manager Chen." Yu Chunsheng shouted excitedly after seeing Chen Wenjiu. He was really grateful to Chen Wenjiu. It was her help that allowed them to survive and live a good life now.

They never thought that they could eat well and dress well in such a famine and disaster year, eat meat from time to time, and even read and write.

All this was because of the help of Manager Chen. She was a kind person - no, she was a fairy, a kind and compassionate fairy.

"Okay, Brother Yu, can we go pick thorn berries? I'm curious about the taste of thorn berries." Chen Wenjiu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's go pick fruits." Yu Chunsheng certainly had no objection. He excitedly called on the villagers to bring baskets and straw to go up the mountain to pick fruits.

Chen Wenjiu and the others also followed the villagers up the mountain. The others had quickly mixed with the villagers, chatting about life, other gossip, etc. Anyway, everyone was chatting very happily.

The people of Yujia Village were full of gratitude to Chen Wenjiu and the people she brought with her, so they were all very open about everything they knew, and the others were very friendly because they sympathized with the difficult life of the people here.

The thorny fruit forest is not very far from Yujia Village, and it takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk there. They were very excited looking at the fruit trees in front of them.

"Pick the fruit--" Yu Chunsheng gave an order, and the villagers and the employees brought by Chen Wenjiu all started to pick the fruit.

The thorny fruit trees are only about one or two meters high now, so it is quite convenient to pick the fruit. Adults pick the high ones, and children pick the low ones.

The fruit of the thorny fruit is indeed not very hard. Its size is the same as that of Kyoho grapes, but grapes are in bunches, while the thorny fruit has a long stalk similar to cherries hanging on the branches one by one.

The thorny fruit is red, and it looks like a red cherry, but Chen Wenjiu tasted it and found that the taste of the thorny fruit is not quite the same as that of cherries.

How to say it? The taste of the thorn fruit is of course not like that of other fruits. It tastes sweet and has a hint of sourness and bitterness. Of course, the sourness and bitterness are not strong, but very light. You can't taste it without careful aftertaste.

The hardness of the thorn fruit flesh seems to have the same taste as plums and apricots. It has a very ripe and soft taste, and also has a slightly hard taste when it is 70% or 80% ripe, but they are all delicious.

Chen Wenjiu thinks that the sweetness of this fruit is similar to that of grapes. No wonder Chen Nuannuan said that this fruit can also be used to make wine. The sweetness is OK, and it has the function of medicine. The wine brewed in this way should be very delicious and have certain medicinal uses.

This is the first time that the thorn fruit has borne fruit this year, so it is not a bumper harvest. One tree can pick about 30 to 40 kilograms of fruit, but Chen Wenjiu is already very satisfied.

After all, there are 10,000 thorn fruit trees planted in Yujia Village. Even if one tree can harvest 30 kilograms of fruit at the minimum, it can harvest 300,000 kilograms of fruit in the end. Even if there is some loss when picking so many fruits, it will not be too much, and there can be a harvest of more than 200,000.

"This fruit is delicious." Gao Xi picked a thorn fruit and tasted it. The fruit is about the same size as a grape, but the core is not very big. It is a variety with thick flesh and small core. It is also very juicy and a very good fruit.

"This fruit is really good. If it can be planted more in the northwest, it can generate a lot of commercial value."

After all, in addition to the fictional Republic of China plane, the land desertification in Chen Wenjiu's plane is also quite serious. If thorns are planted there, it can not only green the desert but also generate economic benefits. Isn't that great?

In addition, Kong Lingchen and his team and Chen Xiangxiu and their team can all plant thorns. This fruit tree is really suitable for planting in the northwest.

That's right, the thorn fruit tree can only be planted in various parts of the northwest. Its characteristics mean that it can only be planted in dry places, with large temperature differences between day and night, and not much rain. This fruit tree cannot be planted in the south.

But just because it can be planted in the northwest, it also means that it can make many desertified areas have oases again, and it can also bring benefits to the people in the northwest.

"It's really good. Isn't this kind of fruit said to be used as medicine and wine? It's also good to eat it alone, and it can be made into juice drinks, or jams, dried fruits, desserts, etc." Wang Cong also said.

"By the way, manager, 80% of the output of the 10,000 thorny thorn fruits here is for you. What do you plan to use it for?" Wang Cong looked at Chen Wenjiu and asked.

Chen Wenjiu: "..."

She actually didn't know, you know, she doesn't lack fruits to eat at all, the fruit stand in the hotel has all kinds of fruits.

As for what kind of food Wang Cong and other chefs want to make with fruits, they can also use the fruits at the fruit stand, not necessarily these thorny thorn fruits.

"Why not let the people in Yujia Village use it to make wine, or use it as medicine after drying? After selling it for money, the money earned will be shared with you?" Wang Cong suggested.

"In fact, there is a market for selling fresh fruits directly. After all, there are few fruits in this season. People in Yujia Village can sell them to the rich people in the city and make money." Gao Xi also said.

"Yes, it makes sense." Chen Wenjiu nodded.

Let the people in Yujia Village find a way to sell these fruits and then share the money with her. In this way, she doesn't need to worry about other problems, just wait to collect the money.

How convenient is it? It's very suitable for her as a hands-off boss!
