Chapter 165: Sweet and Sour Oranges

Qian Huashen had no idea about Li Xinyu's situation. She sent a message to her daughter, hoping that her daughter could see how motivated her classmates were at the moment.

However, this incident laid the groundwork for Li Xinyu to return to her hometown and start a new career later.

At this moment, on the back mountain, everyone was beaming with joy.

Seeing the bountiful harvest of these fruit trees, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Everyone knew yesterday afternoon that some of the fruits picked today would be distributed to them, and there would also be vegetable packages. This was really a great thing.

They got paid for their work and could take away the fruits and vegetables from the back mountain. How could they not be happy?

They had all tasted the vegetables produced on the back mountain, and they were extremely delicious. As for the fruits, although they hadn't tasted them yet, everyone had an idea in mind that they must be good!

"Uncle Li, come and have a taste!"

There was a young man in the village, about twenty - three or twenty - four years old.

He had dropped out of school early and had been working outside since he was eighteen or nineteen.

He had basically done all kinds of jobs available outside. However, it was impossible for him to save any money while working outside. So, ten days ago, his parents summoned him back home.

In his parents' words:

"Anyway, you work so hard outside every year but can't earn much money. It's better to come back home."

"Now there's good work on the back mountain, and you can live at home, so your expenses will be less."

"We've partitioned the west wing room as a homestay. These days, we can earn some money every few days. After you come back and find a job on the back mountain, you'll be able to save money and quickly marry a wife!"

This was what his parents really thought. At first, the young man was reluctant, but he happened to be unable to find any work recently, so he decided to go back home and have a look.

After he went back home, his parents took him to the back mountain. Then he saw the labor contract his parents signed with Yuan Tiantian. Looking at the salary on it, although it was less than what he could earn outside, the cost of food and accommodation at home was almost negligible.

It meant that with a monthly salary of 2000 yuan, he could save at least 1500 yuan! If he was more thrifty, it was even possible to save 1800 yuan!

He was tempted. Then the whole family found Li Mu. Finally, after some discussion, because the young man was young, he was arranged in the planting team.

As a young man, he was more active. After getting along for more than ten days, he had a relatively good relationship with Li Mu.

So, just now, he dared to joke with Li Mu with a big smile and asked him to have a taste of the fruit.

"Uncle Li, have a taste and see if it's delicious!"

The young man kept encouraging Li Mu with a big smile, which made everyone burst out laughing and join in the fun.

Li Mu was both amused and annoyed. He glared at the young man but didn't refuse. He directly reached out and took an orange handed by Qian Huashen.

The outer skin of the orange was already orange - yellow. It was about one and a half times the size of an adult man's palm, very attractive.

Although the orange peel hadn't been peeled, the sweet and sour smell of the orange peel had already spread out, and it was very strong.

It made people feel very refreshed when they smelled it. Of course, it also made people salivate.

"Okay, then I'll have a taste of this orange."

Li Mu and Qian Huashen knew that Yuan Tiantian would never be angry about this.

Yes, Yuan Tiantian didn't care at all. As long as people didn't steal the fruits and vegetables on the back mountain maliciously, she didn't mind.

As the orange peel was peeled off, the smell of the orange instantly filled the air. It was no exaggeration to say that people several meters away could smell it clearly.

"So fragrant! It must be delicious!"

The employees who came to harvest also couldn't help but stop their work. Some were attracted by the smell of the orange.

Li Mu and Qian Huashen were standing close. The strong smell of the orange directly stimulated their taste buds.

Li Mu broke half of the orange and gave it to Qian Huashen. Then he broke half of the half in his hand and gave it to Li Qing who was working not far away.

"Let's all have a taste."

Saying this, Li Mu broke off a segment and put it into his mouth.

After putting it into his mouth, Li Mu was stunned for a moment. Then he opened his eyes wide, chewed quickly, and swallowed the segment of the orange.

"This is it!"

After eating one segment, Li Mu immediately gave a thumbs - up and said to everyone.

It was really delicious. After the orange segment entered his mouth, when he gently bit it with his teeth, the juice instantly burst in his mouth, and the unique sweet and sour taste of the orange exploded in his mouth.

Moreover, the sweetness and sourness were just right. It was really the perfect balance. A bit more would be too sweet, and a bit less would be too sour.

At this moment, the sweet and sour taste of the orange was just right. It was really wonderful.

Hearing what Li Mu said, Qian Huashen and Li Qing also ate the oranges in their hands. After eating, like Li Mu, they gave a thumbs - up to everyone.

"It's really very good."

Hearing this, everyone became even more motivated.

They would all get a share of these fruits today!

With a greater expectation, everyone worked even faster. Seeing this, Qian Huashen and Li Mu immediately nervously shouted:

"Work fast, but be careful! Don't drop them. These are all valuable goods!"

"You'll have to pay if you damage them!"

Although they didn't know how much these fruits would be sold for, after tasting the orange just now, the three of them, Qian Huashen, didn't think these fruits would be sold cheaply.

They had all eaten the fruits on the market. Their children had bought some better - quality ones several times. But to be honest, none of them were as delicious as the fruits from the back mountain.

So in the eyes of Qian Huashen and the other two, these fruits must be precious, and they should be treated carefully.

After hearing what Qian Huashen said, many people started to use less force. Obviously, they were also afraid of damaging the fruits.

They couldn't afford to pay for these precious things!

Time passed quickly. It was already half past ten in the morning, and Lu Zhe and the others had been working for an hour and a half.

"Let's go."

Lu Zhe checked the time and said to the others.

They had to go down the mountain. After having lunch, they had to rush to the city. Their flight was at 2 pm today.

After returning the tools, each of them carried nearly twenty - five pounds of fruits and vegetables in their hands. It was quite heavy.

However, no one felt tired. Were they carrying fruits and vegetables now? No, they were carrying money!

They all knew the unit prices in the high - end vegetable stores. They were dozens or even hundreds of yuan. This bag of twenty - five pounds of things was equivalent to carrying money!

"Are you back? How was it?"

After Lu Zhe and the others came to Tiantian Snack Bar again, Bai Ying called Yuan Tiantian out of the kitchen.

He knew that these people were Yuan Tiantian's friends.

"Why didn't you pick more?"

Yuan Tiantian saw the fruits and vegetables at Lu Zhe's feet at this time. She frowned. They had picked too little.

"No no no, it's enough!"
