Chapter 726: Are Chestnuts Profitable?

Zhang Yanping looked at the more than 100,000 viewers in the live broadcast room, and at this moment, in his confusion, a trace of joy arose in his heart:

Could it be that I also have the talent to be an internet celebrity?

But soon, the barrage taught him a lesson.

【Brother, move the camera, let me see that brother's fishing rod, okay?】

【Brother, why don't you turn the camera, I want to see your pond... it's so beautiful!】

【Brother, look, is there a duck laying eggs in that water grass nest over there?】

【Oh my, duck eggs are easy to spoil in water, Brother, why don't you sell a batch of these duck eggs? I've watched Teacher Qiao Qiao's live broadcast, I think he knows how to pickle them.】

【Brother, where is our Teacher Qiao Qiao? Didn't you say he was knocking chestnuts on the mountain?】

【Brother...】

【Brother...】

Because of this, everyone wasn't worried about the family's chestnuts making money, and they became more relaxed while working, chatting more happily.

Lanfen Yong, who felt his burning gaze:...

It was a coincidence; he had just found Lanfen when Qiao Qiao and Zhang Wangjia rode over on a tricycle.

"Is the biggest one in the middle as tall as a three-story building? That one is wild, it's not ripe yet. When it's ripe, its chestnuts are also small, but they are fragrant!"

Qiao Qiao paused:... Seems like that's not wrong either.

He carried the basket onto the truck with satisfaction.

Zhang Yanping:... One problem after another! What can I do? He could only apologize hurriedly:

And Lanfen? Although he didn't have a girlfriend, for some reason, his dream of a down payment hadn't been shattered yet.

Can this thing make money? If it can, why are there so many farmers planting it locally?

He wiped his face, and at this moment, turned the camera: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll take you to see the chestnuts..."

He sighed: "Sigh, Lanfen, your sister is too stingy, my salary is only two thousand and something, when will you raise it to three thousand for me!"

"Brother Yanping, sister is not stingy at all..."

He originally wanted to think of some words to warm up and sell a wave in the live broadcast room, but looking at this reaction... forget it, better leave it to Qiao Qiao.

By comparison, those who have the conditions to go out to work are definitely more relaxed in earning money.

"Wu Lan's chestnut orchard is only this big, with so many of us, we can pick almost all of it in one day today. In two days, I'll ask him if this little thing is still needed? If not, I'll borrow it."

Comparing it like this, Zhang Yanping, who doesn't do physical labor, might not be as carefree as himself.

"Although I didn't do physical labor, my contribution is not small, I even work overtime at night!"

"I'm not selling them, I'll just go up the mountain for a stroll, get a hundred jin or so, dry some, roast some, and freeze them. When guests come home for the New Year, there'll be snacks."

"That thing can only roll to pick fruit. Look at my clip, the handle can be adjusted in length, and it's light... isn't it handy to clip the chestnut burs?"

"Children, today I'll teach everyone new knowledge. Look, this is our chestnut orchard!"

Like all cousins, Lanfen Yong looks strong but doesn't want to do any work, now he's in charge of various trivial online store matters, and is openly slacking off on the mountain.

"Oh, that's quite good! If your chestnuts aren't for sale, I'll go to your land and get a hundred jin too? You've seen my own chestnuts, they are planted with tea trees, it's a huge effort to find them!"

"What? You still want to sell chestnuts? Isn't your wife there? That guy can get a hundred jin easily, you can't even carry it."

Lanfen listened and watched ignorantly, and for some reason, felt extremely happy in his heart.

After the wires were threaded through the clothes and plugged in, he took the phone, first aiming the camera at the tall chestnut tree in the center of the chestnut orchard:

Not far away were the chatting voices of the uncles and aunts.

As for selling chestnuts, no one wants to do it.

He gets a high salary, so it's only right to put in a little more effort. And now that there's no need to pick vegetables to sell, farm work ends when it gets dark, and he can still play a few hours of games at night.

Chestnuts aren't like other fruits that can be sold after picking. You have to knock them, peel them, pick them, and finally, they can't be stored. Once cleaned up, you have to carry a hundred-jin bag to the town...

"Not selling! Who would do that thing? There's no one collecting it in the market now, and the price they collect it at is very low, only two yuan something per jin, and they still want to pick the good-looking ones..."

Everyone was laughing and laughing, but their movements were fast, and basket after basket was slowly filled, until someone wearing a motorcycle helmet in the distance shouted:

But farmers aren't fools. Chestnuts require grafting, fertilization, and management. You work half to death for a whole year, and an acre only earns a thousand yuan, and that's not counting the cost!

Zhang Yanping came up the mountain at this time.

Most of the people who came to help today either just came back from working away, or their family members hadn't come back yet.

"Hey, that's quite good! If your chestnuts aren't for sale, I'll go to your land and get a hundred jin too? You've seen my own chestnuts, they are planted with tea trees, it's a huge effort to find them!"

It just so happens that most of the people who came to work today only have one person at home. This thing doesn't have anyone to help, you can't even carry it, so forget it.

"Okay! I'll ask Wu Lan later, borrow that thing to use, if it's not expensive, we'll buy one next year too."

"It's true! It's the most fearful time to go up the mountain to pick chestnuts, my waist hurts like crazy after a day."

Qiao Qiao was in the mountain following the villagers with the fruit-picking artifact, pushing it around in the forest!

"That's right! Before, we all used fire tongs and scissors. Using scissors makes you bend your waist, and using fire tongs, the tongs are heavy. Anyway, it's the same no matter what you use, your palms will be worn out after two hours, even with gloves..."

"It's not me, I'm joking—but Lanfen, do you really think your sister is stingy? Okay, okay, I won't say it! Come, give the phone to you, your students haven't seen chestnut picking, right? Come, teach them!"

That was it. Zhang Yanping was talking to Wu Lei, and he was enviously carrying the heavy basket on the side. He also had to be careful that the thorns of the chestnut burs wouldn't poke through the gaps of the bamboo basket and prick him...

"Don't come over here! We're still knocking over here, be careful the chestnut burs don't fall on your heads!"

"Don't say, why didn't we have such things in the early years? Round and round, roll it on the ground and the fallen chestnuts go inside."

Speaking of chestnuts, everyone was very familiar with them.

"Ah, right!" Wu Lei remembered, and at this moment skillfully took the microphone from Lanfen Yong's hand and clipped it to his collar.

Brother, brother, calling Zhang Yanping to despair inside: This world that judges people by their appearance! Ever since he became dark and strong, except for Tan Tan's family, no one dared to joke with him anymore!

In the early years when transportation was inconvenient, the money farmers earned was truly blood and sweat!

The tricycle buzzed and drove away, and Zhang Yanping was secretly proud when he saw Lanfen looking at him aggrievedly: ===== CHAPTER 727 =====
