The Best Small Farm

Chapter 181 Picking an Apple

Jennifer didn't know what to think, she didn't plan to take An Qi back at all, Lingna left a bag of clothes, and hurried back without saying a word, leaving a word to ask Li Han to help take care of An Qi. Li Han simply didn't treat An Qi as a guest. There was a lot of farm work in the morning, chicken and duck houses had to be cleaned, cattle and sheep stables, vegetables and so on.

"New jeans, let's put them on first, let's get to work first, it's worth last night, and then I have money for today's breakfast." Li Han and Dudu, baby, put on suspenders and jeans early, holding tools and making a fuss Angie said.

Today is the day to clean the chicken coop and duck coop once every three days. Li Han waited for An Qi to change her clothes and set off with a plastic trolley. Reluctant to follow, pouted, eyes full of confusion, a look of not waking up, walking swayingly, even so still not forgetting to punch Li Han's back angrily. Li Han is happy, this little chubby girl, came to the chicken coop, Dudu and the baby jumped out of the trolley, carried the small basket into the chicken coop, picked up the eggs with their feet, and there were hay nests on the side shelf of the chicken coop There are some good eggs.

The two little ones picked them up carefully and put them in the basket. On the other side, Li Han opened the cage and said to An Qi. "The chicken manure needs to be cleaned here, don't stand there, come in quickly." The chicken manure was hot, but Angie's twitching was impossible, so she pushed it into the small cart filled with chicken manure and pushed it to the septic tank. Back and forth three or four times, the chicken coop was almost cleaned, Dudu and the baby carried a small basket full of eggs, put them in a basket, transported them back, and put them in a small vegetable supermarket to sell for money.

Li Han raised more than a hundred native chickens, and he used some of the chicken soup for a while. The fox who is most afraid of raising chickens is not far away. He usually eats fish and shrimps, and has no interest in chickens. As for the bald eagles in the sky, several of them were killed by Li Han's trap. This time, I haven't seen many eagles circling in the sky. After finishing the chicken coop and duck coop, cleaning the trolley, putting the baskets in the trolley, Dudu and the baby climbed onto the trolley and sat on the handle.

Dudu snapped his fingers and said. "Dad, there are a lot less eggs." "Well, uncle, the baby only picked up one basket." The baby can usually pick up half a basket, Li Han said with a smile. "It's cold, so the chickens will lay fewer eggs. Let's repair the chicken coop tomorrow. If it's warmer, the chickens will lay more eggs." "Yeah." The two little guys nodded their heads vigorously. Angie's dangling. "I'm hungry."

"Teacher An Qi, I can't eat yet. There is still a lot of work to do before we can eat." It took half an hour to clean the chicken coop, and there is still milk to be milked, the cowshed, the stables, a few lambs, and the alpaca pens need to be cleaned . Dudu clapped his hands and pointed to An Qi.

An Qi's eyes widened. This breakfast is really difficult. An Qi didn't want to do it, but Dudu and Baobao were both working. An Qi was shoveling cow dung, who would have stepped on it accidentally, and the cow dung splashed everywhere, splashing on the two little guys, Dudu and Baobao, who were cleaning. The job in the house looked at An Qi with a small plastic shovel and a small mouth. Teachers are so stupid.

Clean up the cowshed, the sheepfold, and clean it up. Li Han drove some feed over in a small farmer's cart, and fed it early in the morning.

Then rush to the pasture, although it is not far away, but the little lamb is very naughty, running around, Dudu and the baby chased after a while to catch it back, the little white-tailed deer and alpaca are better, I like to play with Dudu and the baby .

Xiaobai and Dabai are well-behaved and obedient, while Xiaohongzao and Dahei don't care about others, so Li Han has to drive them personally, and the two cows are the most troublesome. Cleaning the pens, rushing to the pasture, almost half of the work in the morning, my mother and Aunt Xu picked the vegetables, put them in baskets and carried them to the flatbed truck, drove the tractor to the flat place in front of the small building, moved them down and piled them up, etc. The car in the supermarket. Finishing the vegetables, waiting for Dinah to come over, helping to sterilize the milk, the busy work is almost done. There is still some time before breakfast, Li Han took An Qi, Dudu, Baby to check the windmill, these few days The water in Tianshui Pool has decreased a lot. "No wonder, there's a piece of wood missing, damn termites."

Li Han checked. There was something wrong with the windmill. I don't know when a colony of termites came to the windmill house. "Let's go, let's eat first, go pick apples, and come back to clean up." Li Han led Dudu and the baby back to the small building, took breakfast, and An Qi fell asleep on the sofa tired.

Li Han told Dudu to wake up the teacher for breakfast, and Dudu ran to the sofa and pushed An Qi. "Teacher An Qi, it's time to eat. After eating, it's fun to pick apples." "Got it, I really want to sleep."

"However, Teacher An Qi slept for a long time. Dad said that the little lazy pig only slept for a long time." Dudu Chunchun blinked her big eyes, and An Qi shook her head helplessly. "Go and wash your face with cold water, your spirit will be much better."

Li Han found that An Qi seemed to be lethargic, but she was sick. The breakfast was simple and refreshing, with side dishes, rice porridge and bread. It was the first time that An Qi felt that the breakfast tasted so good. After being tired all morning, the food was delicious. Both Dudu and Baobao ate a large bowl of rice porridge, a large piece of bread, an egg and half a salted duck egg, and a glass of fresh milk. The two little guys had a lot of appetite, even better than An Qihao.

Li Han brought some vegetables for An Qi. "You may not be used to Chinese breakfast, so eat more dishes." This is the first time for An Qi to have someone eat breakfast and someone to bring food for herself, and she is not used to it at home. "Thanks."

After breakfast, Li Han drove his pickup truck and brought his family to Anderson Farm. The apple orchard of Anderson’s family was divided into two parts. One part was planted with new varieties of Red Marshal and Golden Marshal. High-quality apples were mainly supplied to large supermarkets and exports, and there were smaller apple orchards. , planting red apples, purple apples and yellow apples, three kinds of dwarf apples for picking. On Fridays and Saturdays, many foreign tourists or town residents will drive by to pick them.

The price is not expensive, but the pickers who usually enter the garden need to queue up to buy picking bags. A small bag costs 20 dollars, which can pick about 10 pounds of apples, and a maximum of 4 people can enter the garden. A large bag costs 30 dollars, and can pick 20 pounds of apples. 6 people can enter the park.

When Li Han arrived, there were many cars parked in the parking lot. Li Han first took everyone to visit Anderson. "Hi, Han, welcome." Anderson welcomed Li Han with a hug. "A little gift." Li Han handed the red wine to Anderson. "That's great, Work One, thank you, Han."

Michelle and Liz greeted Dudu and Baobao, but Liz was a little hostile to An Qi, An Qi was lazy and followed Li Han, and Mrs. Anderson greeted Mom and Aunt Xu. "Anderson. There are quite a lot of people in front."

"The weekend is not bad, Han, drink coffee." Anderson prepared coffee, apple juice, apple pie, and small snacks early to greet Li Han's family. After resting for a while, Anderson took Li Han's family to the entrance to get two bags. Liz and Michelle were in charge of entertaining Li Han. Anderson accompanied him for a while before leaving. There are still many things that Anderson needs to do on the farm. There are more than 1,000 mu of dwarf apple orchards for picking. It was quite big, and Liz and Michelle led the way in a big flatbed car and walked around back to the apple orchard.

There are quite a few little guys picking apples, picking and gnawing, how much they eat is not worth the money. There are water tanks around the picking garden, and you can wash apples at any time. The small apple trees are not high, and Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle can all pick them. But there are also a lot of drops. Ask Liz, after picking, the staff will pick them up, clean them, sell them at a low price, or make apple products. Of course, they don’t need any damage. The juice residue is used for farm cattle, sheep and horses.

I met many families along the way. They came out to play on weekends, and they were all in a good mood and nodded and smiled as a greeting. Li Han tasted it and it tasted really good. The purple is the most beautiful, and the yellow is a little golden. The quality is quite high. Li Han picked some purple and yellow. For fun, pick the apples and take them outside to squeeze the juice, no money is needed, of course the apple pomace must be left to the farm. The entrance is not far away. There is a small shop selling iced apple juice and apple products, and the business is very good.

After picking apples for a long time, the whole family was a little tired. When I came to the small woods not far from the edge, I found a chair to sit down and rest. There are many chairs and rest places around, which is very good. Liz took Dudu, baby, and Michelle went to the store to get juice. "Thank you." Li Han took the juice and handed it to his mother and Aunt Xu. Of course, he didn't forget An Qi, which made Liz puff up her mouth. "Hmph, Han, I don't allow you to be nice to her." "Cut." Angie snorted, drinking the juice to herself, but Liz was furious.

"Uncle, where should we go to play?" "Hehe, let's go, don't run too far." Li Han nodded, not far away are small wooden houses, small trains, slides, swings, and a simple playground It seems that there are also juicers, small shops, popcorn for sale, and many little ones.

Dudu, the baby went to play with Michelle, and Liz came to Li Han's side. "Han, who is she?" "An Qi, and the baby's ballet teacher." Li Han looked at the little guys playing in the distance, and said casually.

"Oh." Liz still didn't let go of An Qi, staring at An Qi with wide eyes, An Qi seemed to say casually. "Han, who is this kid?" "I'm not a kid." An Qi curled her lips, looked her up and down, and sighed.

Lisi was furious, and pointed at An Qi and called her little fat girl. An Qi was not calm, and the two girls started arguing. Fortunately, there was a lot of noise and there was no fight. Li Han ignored it and leaned on the bench with his eyes closed to rest. "Huh." Li Han suddenly opened his eyes, yes, indeed, there was a group of Chinese tourists with familiar voices.

My mother and Aunt Xu were very happy. They chatted thousands of times and had a good chat. Most of the Chinese tourists who come to the United States are of good quality, especially those who can come to Chris to play in the estate. High, but it is true that most high-quality people are rich.

It was rare to meet a domestic tourist, and Li Han went up to chat for a few words. Unexpectedly, these people had heard of Li Han Hank Farm, especially Hank Manor Beer, and the tour guide even recommended it. I don't know about Hank's farm and Li Han's. These people all said that they would go for a drink at night.

Li Han also said straightforwardly that he would give you a 20% discount. After chatting for a while, Li Han's family said goodbye to everyone, and followed Liz in the car to visit the Golden Apple and Red Apple Orchards. These two apple orchards are not open to the public. Open picking, apples are big and expensive. The most expensive apples exported to China are more than ten dollars a pound, which are high-end apples. Liz and Michelle picked two bags for Baobao and Dudu. The apples are big, and the big one weighs nearly a catty.

Back at the farm, Michelle’s parents just came back on the weekend and expressed their gratitude to Li Han for taking care of Michelle. Michelle’s parents both work in the city and only come back on weekends. Fortunately, the farm is big and requires employees, so Anderson doesn’t need to be busy , relatively speaking, it's much easier. Usually, Anderson's biggest job is to take care of his beloved horse and Michelle. (To be continued..)
