Chapter 59: Picking Hawthorn Fruits in the Tiankeng
Li Qian took out five baskets. This hawthorn tree was taller than the previous one on the top of the mountain.
She put on a pair of brocade gloves, and using both hands, she threw the fruits into the basket. Her hands were so fast that they almost became afterimages.
After Li Qian filled one basket, she started to pick up the second basket.
By the time Nangong Jin and Leng Feng came down from the hawthorn tree, Li Qian had already picked up four baskets of hawthorn berries.
Three people picked up the last basket together, but Li Qian's hands were the fastest.
When they filled the fifth basket, she waved her hand and put the basket into the space. Li Qian looked at her mobile phone and it was already 18:05 and it was almost dark.
Nangong Jin used a telescope to look around and found that there were no fruits.
He said, "Qianqian, go home, there are no more fruits around."
"Okay, let's go home now."
After a while, Li Qian realized that digging out the navel of the fruit would take a lot of time, so she thought of asking Leng Feng to find someone to help her.
"Brother Bing, tomorrow morning, you ask Leng Yu to bring a hundred bodyguards to help me dig out the navels of the hawthorn fruits, pinch the fruit stems, and then string them into candied haws. Tomorrow, I plan to go to the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts to sell candied haws."
Leng Feng responded, "Okay."
Nangong Jin said: "Qianqian, are you so short of money?"
"What are you talking about? Who would complain about having too much money? I almost forgot that I won first place in the talent show at the Dihao Bar party. Remember to transfer the money to me after you get in the car.
Let me give you some basic knowledge. Sima Qian has a famous saying in "Records of the Grand Historian, On Currency": "A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way."
At that time, Sima Qian was implicated by Li Ling and was thrown into prison. Finally, he was sentenced to death.
If he could have come up with the money at that time, he would not have suffered the humiliation of castration.
During the period after he was castrated, he became mentally confused. A normal man suddenly became a eunuch. For an ordinary man, this was a double torture both mentally and physically.
If he didn't have a strong will to support him, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
In order to complete "Records of the Grand Historian", Sima Qian endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens. His famous saying, "Everyone has to die, some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai," was written after he was castrated.
I really admire him. In order to finish writing "Records of the Grand Historian", he chose castration. He is a great historian. "
Li Qian talked as they walked, and after more than twenty minutes, the three of them arrived at the side of the road.
She thought about it, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped on the road.
After the three of them got in the car, Nangong Jin asked her, "Qianqian, did you learn all this historical knowledge from the Records of the Grand Historian?"
“No, there used to be a program called Lecture Room on CCTV-10, where Professor Wang Liqun from Nankai University gave a lecture on Historical Records.
I particularly like the "One Hundred Schools of Thought" column.
There is also a book called "Bao Pengshan's New Interpretation of Water Margin". The professor's explanation was also very wonderful and particularly touching. He described the inner thoughts and situations of the little people in Liangshan Marsh vividly and made people cry.
I remember the section about Lin Chong, I cried. Gao Yanei molested Lin Chong's wife, and he didn't dare to offend Gao Qiu. In the end, his wife could not bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide.
As the head coach of 80 imperial guards, he couldn't even protect his own wife. It was really sad."
Nangong Jin said: "If I encounter a threat from a powerful force in the future, I will choose to protect you and will never bow to evil forces."
"Brother Jin, don't speak too soon, or you'll get slapped in the face."
Nangong Jin said: "If you can't even protect your own wife, what kind of man is that!"
"To protect people, you need to use your brain. It's not just about being hot-blooded and showing off your bravery. If you know you can't win, but you still go to fight the enemy, that's just asking for trouble. It's like giving your head to the enemy and being cannon fodder. That's not bravery, that's stupidity."
Nangong Jin's lips twitched slightly, "Qianqian, my IQ is still sufficient."
"Brother Jin, when you are not in love, your IQ is really high. When it comes to calculating people's hearts and playing tricks, you have never lost."
Nangong Jin: “…”
Are you praising me or belittling me?
Half an hour later, they returned home and finished their meal. It was already 19:35. Li Qian asked Nangong Jin to call and have a fish tank sent to her.
She put half a tank of spiritual spring water into the fish tank, and pulled out a handful of wild grass growing by the spiritual spring pool and put them into the fish tank. Only then did Li Qian put the mackerel into the fish tank.
"Brother Jin, please help me find a master tomorrow and ask him to build a fish pond for me."
Nangong Jin said: "Okay."
Li Qian watched a movie, took a shower, and went to bed.
This afternoon, Nangong Jin helped Li Qian pick up pebbles, hawthorn berries, mushrooms, small chestnuts, and small tomatoes. He was enslaved very hard today and was extremely tired. After taking a shower, he went to bed and fell asleep after a while.
The next morning, Li Qian asked Leng Feng to take her to the market and bought 30 large winnowing baskets. When they arrived at the Dongjiao Villa, she asked Leng Feng to use a stainless steel rack to help her arrange the winnowing baskets vertically into ten rows.
Li Qian put the winnowing basket on the shelf and poured the seven baskets of hawthorn fruits stored in the space into the winnowing basket.
"Brother Bing, yesterday I asked you to find a hundred bodyguards to help me string candied haws together. Did you tell Leng Yu about this?"
Leng Feng said, "I told Leng Yu about it last night. I'm going to ask him where he is now."
After a while, Leng Feng said, "Girl, they are on their way and will be here soon."
Li Qian took out 100 knives, "a large bag of long bamboo sticks, and placed them on the stainless steel table.
"Brother Soldier, look at what I do. First, pinch off the stem of the hawthorn fruit, then dig out the navel. When digging out the navel, don't use too much force."
Leng Feng watched her do it once and then knew what to do.
"Brother Soldier, you will teach ten people, and then let them lead nine people each to teach others how to dig out the navel of the fruit.
You give them some instructions and let them do their respective duties. I am not good at this."
Leng Feng said, “Okay.”
More than ten minutes later, Leng Yu, accompanied by a hundred bodyguards, arrived at the East Suburb Villa.
Leng Feng asked them to wash their hands first, and then divided them into ten groups. He first taught the team leader how to use a knife to dig out the fruit navel.
After the team leader learned it, he taught the group he led. Under Leng Feng's command, they worked in an orderly manner without any chaos. After two hours, they finally dug out the navels of the hawthorn fruits and pinched off the fruit stems.
The next step is to string the candied haws together.
Li Qian taught me how to do this, and it’s much easier than digging out the navel of a fruit.
It took an hour to string the candied haws together. There were five hawthorn fruits on each string, and there were 2300 strings in total.
"Brother Soldier, please let them go back. After the candied haws are ready, give each of them three strings."
Leng Feng repeated Li Qian's words.
Leng Yu said: "Brothers, go back to the training camp."
After they left, Li Qian and Leng Feng used a hose to rinse the candied haws. Water seeped out of the dustpan, and she covered the dustpan with a piece of gauze to prevent dust from sticking.
Leng Feng found a stove modified from an oil barrel, Li Qian lit the charcoal, washed a large pot, and began to boil white sugar. When it turned into a brown and sticky color, he asked Nangong Jin and Leng Feng to help pour the sugar water on the candied haws.
Li Qian was responsible for sprinkling white sesame seeds. After finishing her work, she put a piece of foam board into the big basin, and then inserted the candied haws on the foam board.
