Chapter 527: 527 Date Palms

Looking at the bag of Iraqi dates that grandpa took out, the yellowish-brown peel seemed to be oily. He squeezed one and bit off half of it. There was a big core in the middle of the date, which was very hard.

"Hey~ It's really sweet." Li Shu frowned slightly. He felt that this kind of date was sweeter than other dates he had eaten, and then looked at his grandpa in surprise and said, "I feel that this date is sweeter than others." degrees, sweeter than a piece of rock sugar of the same size.".

"Haha~" Grandpa laughed instantly.

Grandma is scratching the big orange cat's chin with her left hand, and occasionally stroking the big orange cat's back with her rough right hand, and the big orange cat is stretching its neck forward with a happy face.

"Someone drove a car to the village to sell it. It cost 20 yuan a catty. They said it contained fructose or something, and even diabetics could eat a little." Grandma said, pointing to the bag of dates with his left finger , Said to the little girl: "Little demon, go and taste it too, it tastes very good.".

"Oh." The little girl also went to get one, took a bite and said, "Hiss~ It's really sweet, with a milky smell.".

The thrush was bouncing around with its crooked little head, obviously very curious about dates. Li Shu put a piece of pulp to its mouth, and it stopped pecking after a light peck.

"Wow woof~".

What's delicious? Give Ben a taste of rhubarb! Let me taste it.

It wanted to sneak up on the date palm in the little girl's hand, and swipe~ looked for the opportunity to stick out its tongue directly, but the little girl was obviously prepared for it, so swipe~ directly held up the remaining half of the date palm in her hand.

"Hey, Rhubarb, you go away, you licked my arm." The little girl frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

Li Shu raised his leg to kick it, swipe~ Seeing that the situation was not good, the big yellow dog ran directly outside the house. It's over, has Ben Rhubarb's status declined again? But the jujube looks delicious, I really want to take a bite.

Chi slip ~

Rhubarb swallowed.

Li Shu, the little girl hasn't come back for more than half a year. The two old people are very curious about their lives and have been talking. Li Shu also showed the two old people the video of Neverland that he took before, and they had a good time.

Li Shu also asked about the crops in the field. Grandpa said helplessly: "There is not much rain and the land is dry, which may seriously affect the grain production. The other fields have been irrigated with well water, but yesterday the well broke down, leaving Li Jianan That piece of land hasn't been watered yet.".

The grandma's petting of the big orange cat also paused slightly, and she sighed: "I'm afraid the land in the south valley of the Li family can only be irrigated with river water, but it's probably thousands of meters away from the river, so it will be really hard to irrigate.".

"Watering the ground? With the help of me and my bodyguard Boss Jing, it should be easy to water. If there is a water pump, Ergou's family has it.".

"no, I'm fine.".

"Oh~ we are idle anyway." Li Shu changed the subject suddenly, and said, "By the way, where is the bastard I caught last time?".

"Oh, I'm still raising it." Grandpa smiled and said, "That bastard is very active, especially edible.".

Grandpa took Li Shu and the little girl to another house, and sure enough, in the glass jar in the corner, he saw a big bastard.

The little girl said: "Brother, this bastard knows you!".

"Ahem, I always feel that what you said is weird." Li Shu smiled.

The big yellow dog also wagged its tail and ran in, looking at the bastard in the glass tank with his head tilted. This bastard is still alive? It should be good to drink bastard soup after stewing.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Shu left home to look for Ergou, the little girl stayed at home with her grandparents, the white squirrel and the big orange cat also stayed at home, only the big yellow dog and thrush followed Li Shu.

"Jiujiujiu~".

The thrush hopped on the plum tree's shoulder.

"Don't bark, don't bark, we're here." Li Shu came to the vermilion gate of Ergou's house and knocked on the door.

"Here we come~" There was the sound of running slippers slapping the ground in the courtyard, creaking ~ the courtyard door was quickly opened.

Ergou's hair was combed, and he no longer looked like a chicken coop.

"Come in, Ah Shu. I just opened the foam box and found out that the foam box you gave me contained two large yellow croakers. This thing is super expensive." Ergou said.

"I raise it in my own fishing ground, and it's okay, let's go, go for a walk.".

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes.".

Er Gou changed his clothes quickly, and walked with Li Shu, Rhubarb Dog, and Thrush to the field outside the village. In the field not far from the village, there are stretches of small jujube trees, each 5 to 7 meters high. The jujube tree is full of fruits, and the dense jujubes bend the branches.

In order to prevent the jujube from falling off the branches, wooden sticks are supported under the tree.

Er Gou picked a few jujubes and ate them: "The red ones are the sweetest.".

Plum tree also picked and ate it casually, and he then handed one to the thrush, who ate it with two bites, and quite liked it.

"Wow woof~".

Don't give this rhubarb to eat? Then I pick it myself. Rhubarb can be eaten as soon as it raises its head, chewing one in its mouth, it feels quite sweet, and it wants to eat another one, but when it sees the three to four centimeters long spikes on the branches of the jujube tree, it is afraid of being pricked Mouth.

The jujube trees of every household are connected together and separated by field ridges. The two walked briskly on the path between the jujube trees.

"The jujube harvest is good this year." Li Shu said.

"The harvest is indeed good." Ergou said, but in a moment he said helplessly: "But when the harvest is good, the price will be low. Hey~ Before, someone came to the village to sell dates for 20 yuan a catty! We also have dates, but the land price I’m afraid I can’t even sell it for 1 yuan and 1 catty.”.

Li Shu nodded and said with a smile: "You also know dates?".

The dates that Ergou mentioned were the Iraqi dates that Li Shu ate before.

"Of course, it is said to be produced in Iraq. Many people are curious if they haven't eaten it." Ergou smiled and said: "I also bought 500 yuan, and I gave it to my father-in-law. My daughter-in-law Say it’s time to go fishing this summer.”.

"Niubao!" Li Shu said with a smile: "But the date palms are most likely not produced in distant Iraq, but in our China. There are many date palm trees in our south, so there is a high probability that they did not come from a distant place thousands of miles away. Transported from Central Asia.”.

"Huh?" Ergou was shocked: "We have this thing in China?".

"That's right~" Li Shu said with a smile: "Guangdong, Yunnan and Guizhou have a lot of them. The output of this stuff is very high, the taste is good, and it has high economic value. I remember that it is also grown in the north. It is grown indoors or in greenhouses. Generally, you can see the leaves.".

"Damn it, I thought it was such a precious jujube." Er Gou said helplessly, "then the actual price is probably not 20 yuan a catty, right?".

"No, the big supermarkets or online stores in the city should have this stuff. It costs three to five yuan a catty." Li Shu laughed.

He looked around, and suddenly saw three foreign hot peppers lying on the leaves of the jujube tree on the right, and his pupils shrank instantly: "Damn, thorns.".
