My hotel is ancient and modern

Chapter 83 Soaking in Hot Springs (4) [Fifth Watch]

Although Maoyang Village is only a small fishing village, with only about 100 or less than [-] households in the whole village, the area of ​​the village is quite large.

And the greening in the village is also done very well. Arrow bamboo and hibiscus are planted on both sides of the cement-paved road, and there is a bougainvillea plant every five meters.

There are also plants that can be seen everywhere in the village, that is, coconut trees and betel nut trees, and then there are rosewood trees and agarwood trees.

Both the pear tree and the agarwood tree are small trees that have been planted for more than ten years, but the canopy grows quite lush, which also plays a role in shading.

Then there are all kinds of fruit trees, such as lychee trees, longan trees, mango trees and jackfruit trees, which can be seen everywhere in the village.

There are a few jackfruit trees in the village that are about several decades old. They were broken during the typhoon before, but they are still growing very well and bear fruit every year, but the villagers don’t like eating jackfruit very much.

There is also a lychee tree that has been around for decades and nearly a hundred years. It is just beside the village. Its trunk is very large and its canopy is very lush.

It's just a pity that this lychee tree has an owner, and the lychees it produced were all picked and sold by the owner before, and she couldn't eat it if she wanted to.

Chen Wenjiu still likes these older trees in the village. She likes this kind of very thick and big trees. Since she was a child, she has dreamed of living in a tree house in the shape of a tree hole.

Maybe it was because she watched a lot of cartoons when she was a child, and she fantasized that one day she could live in such a house, it must be very cool.

But it is a pity, the more I grow up, the more I find that there are very few trees that are so thick and strong that people can live in them. Even if there are such big trees, they are hundreds of years old. It is impossible to hollow out the trunk to make a small house.

Even so, Chen Wenjiu still likes this kind of very old trees, they are also very beautiful and pleasing - she likes trees that don't require her to sweep the leaves.

"Jiujiu, come out to play?" Chen Wenjiu looked at some flowers on the side of the road as he walked, and when he passed by a house, a grandmother greeted her.

"Grandma." Chen Wenjiu greeted someone politely when he heard someone calling him.

This grandma is not the one who gave Chen Wenjiu coconuts before. Anyway, the elders who are called grandparents by the locals are grandpa and grandma, so Chen Wenjiu directly called the other party "Grandma".

"Jiujiu, come in and eat bananas." The grandma greeted with a smile.

"Don't eat, don't eat." Chen Wenjiu waved his hands and said, she is not greedy for bananas at all now, and she doesn't want to eat bananas and plantains.

"Our pomegranate is ripe, would you like to eat one?" Grandma pointed to a guava tree in her yard and said to Chen Wenjiu.

This grandma’s home does not have fruit trees such as lychee and longan, but a guava tree. Chen Wenjiu thinks this tree is about 30 to [-] years old. Anyway, she saw this tree when she was young. home.

"Grandma, do you still have this pomegranate tree in your house?" Chen Wenjiu asked curiously.

You must know that there used to be a lot of guava trees in the village. After all, guava seeds germinate easily, and their saplings grow quickly and well. If humans don't pull them out, they can easily grow up.

Later, more and more people built houses in the village, and when everyone’s living standard improved, more and more fruits could be eaten, so I didn’t care much about the guava tree. When I saw a small sapling growing, I would pull it out. Drop or chop off.

After all, sometimes those small guava saplings grow in the wrong place, and people are afraid that it will get in the way when it grows up, so they simply don't let it grow.

The guava tree in my grandmother's house is red-fleshed. Chen Wenjiu was tired of eating red-fleshed guavas when she was a child, followed by yellow-fleshed guavas, and finally white-fleshed guavas.

Chen Wenjiu still buys guavas with white flesh at the fruit stand outside, but it is absolutely impossible for her to buy guavas with red flesh and yellow flesh.

When I was a child, I didn’t eat it when I wanted to eat it. If I didn’t eat it, I would feed it to pigs or throw it away. It’s pretty good that she can spend money to buy guavas with white flesh.

"This pomegranate tree grows so well, it's good to keep it." Grandma said with a smile.

This guava tree has been a favorite of the children in this area since they were young. Now that the children grow up, they don't like to eat guava very much, but the grandma still wants to stay and think about it.

Chen Wenjiu raised his head and looked at the guava tree. The tree was full of fruits, some of which had just grown, and some of which might have been ripe. There were also white flowers on the branches.

Guava is a plant that blooms all the year round, and the fruit can be eaten all year round. This guava tree is growing well. Chen Wenjiu stretched out his hand to pull down the branch under the eyes of grandma, and picked a freshly ripened guava tree. guava.

This kind of guava that is just ripe, with some red inside but not completely red, nor softened, tastes very good, even the old warm wine that is tired of eating red guava is very delicious.

For guava, it’s better to eat the kind whose flesh is red but the outer skin is still green. She doesn’t like to eat the kind whose outer skin has turned yellow.

"Is it delicious?" Grandma said happily as she watched Chen Wenjiu take a bite of the guava.

"Well, delicious." Chen Wenjiu nodded, took out a handful of toffee from his pocket and handed it to Grandma, "Grandma, you eat candy too."

"Grandma, I'm leaving." Chen Wenjiu left after giving the toffee to Grandma, and she planned to keep walking for a while as exercise.

After Chen Wenjiu bid farewell to her grandmother, while eating guavas, she remembered that when she was a child, she went back to her grandmother's house with her mother, and then she and her elder brother went up the mountain with her mother to pick guavas from her cousin's house next door.

The guava was very big in Chen Wenjiu's memory. She and her elder brother each picked one, which was about the size of one and a half pears. I can't eat any more.

The remaining half of the guava was thrown to the pigs by the mother.After that, it was a pity for Chen Wenjiu to eat such a big guava, but he didn't finish it. What a pity.

After a few mouthfuls, she ate the guava, which was about the size of her fist, and Chen Wenjiu went to the hotel after strolling around for a while, so it's better not to wander around outside in the middle of the day.

"Chef He, what are you eating today?" Chen Wenjiu just returned to the restaurant, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ran to the restaurant to ask about the menu.

"What do you want to eat?" Chef He asked without changing his expression.

"What do I want to eat?" Chen Wenjiu thought for a while and said, "How about some sweet and sour appetizers? How about pineapple sweet and sour pork?"

He Zui said, "Do you want to add another hibiscus shrimp?"

"I want shrimp in tomato sauce." Chen Wenjiu said.

"Okay." Chen Wenjiu thought for a while and said, "One more pineapple fried rice."

He Zui nodded to show that he knew, and told her to wait first, he will prepare these few dishes in a while for her to have a full meal.
