054: Top students are amazing
It is not the peak season for flue-cured tobacco yet, so we can only barely remove the bottom layer of tobacco leaves.
Flue-cured tobacco is like a banana tree, with leaves growing in layers, and the tobacco stem in the middle stretching upwards. The leaves can grow about a dozen layers.
The tobacco leaves are dark green when they first come out, then slowly turn to dark green, dark green, green, and finally turn slightly to yellow-green. At this time, they are probably ready to be carried.
After hanging it, tie it with a rope to the wooden pole, and then put it in the tobacco oven to bake. Finally, it will be baked into golden tobacco leaves. After drying, they are untied from the pole again and tied into rolls for sale.
.
The quality of flue-cured tobacco mainly depends on whether the color is golden yellow. The more yellow it is without any black spots on the tobacco leaves, the most expensive tobacco leaves can be sold for several yuan per kilogram.
But if the color is darker, greener, or has black or green spots on it, the price will be determined based on the degree of damage to the color. At the lowest, it only costs 1 cent per pound, which is basically giving it away for free.
Many smokers feel that some cigarettes are easy to smoke, while others are very bitter to smoke. This is because the grades of tobacco leaves are different. Good tobacco leaves naturally produce good tobacco, while bad tobacco leaves are generally stubble leaves or final finishing tobacco leaves.
of tobacco leaves.
One is that the tobacco leaves are not yet mature and plump, and the other is that the tobacco leaves have no nutrition.
None of them are good things.
"Brother, when did you come?" Cousin Li Xiaojuan was wearing old black clothes, and her face was stained black and white by sweat and dust. She was very happy to see Zhao Peng and ran to him to smile.
Just ask.
Followed by his cousin Li Xiaogang.
"I just got here. I see you guys are busy today. I'm here to help you with your work."
"Really, that's great. I'm almost exhausted. Look, brother, if I don't pay attention now, I will collapse to the ground, and then you won't be able to lift me up."
After saying that, Li Xiaojuan really collapsed on the ground, twisting and turning, like a huge black noodle thrown on the ground.
"Then I'll kick you and see if it hurts you." Li Xiaogang came from behind and tried to kick you. Seeing this, Li Xiaojuan hurriedly hugged Zhao Peng's leg, "Brother, brother, you don't care about your cousin. He
Want to bully me."
Zhao Peng smiled. This kind of situation had happened many times when he was a teenager in his previous life. Now that he experienced it again, he just felt very relaxed and missed it very much.
He grabbed his cousin's hand and pulled her up from the ground, "You are fourteen years old, can you have a decent career? If you continue like this, you won't be able to get married in the future."
"Hey, who wants to get married? I want to make my mother poor."
At this time, the uncle and aunt also finished their work and came over. When the aunt heard her daughter say this, she pretended to be angry, "I will only raise you until you are eighteen years old, then you will be kicked out, go wherever you want, and even eat from me."
I won’t even give you a sip of rice or water to wash the pot.”
"Mom, mom, my dear mother, don't you want your dear daughter? Do you know that you are like this, which makes your daughter feel very sad inside, and I feel sad to death. My eyes are dark.
Why is the sky in April so cold..."
Okay, Zhao Peng winked at his cousin Li Xiaogang, you might as well go over and kick her to death.
Why is it so annoying?
The uncle patted his cousin on the head, and she ran into the yard laughing. Li Xiaogang also took the tools to place them.
The aunt asked Zhao Peng with a smile: "Peng'er, why are you free to come here today? We are not taking the high school entrance examination recently. If you don't study hard at home, we haven't started to be busy yet, so we can cope with it for the time being. When we are really busy, you will take the high school entrance examination."
It’s over too.”
Zhao Peng looked at how late it was and decided to get straight to the point.
He pondered for a moment and his expression became serious, "Auntie, uncle, I'm here today to discuss something very important with you."
Seeing Zhao Peng being so solemn, the two adults were curious, "You kid, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. We are not outsiders, so we are still going round and round."
"I'm doing it for my uncle's business."
As soon as Zhao Peng spoke, the expressions of the two adults changed slightly, especially the aunt, whose smile suddenly disappeared and was replaced by sadness and uneasiness.
My uncle also looked solemn.
My eldest uncle Li Tiankui is a very calm person.
He is usually very generous and enthusiastic to his relatives, so they think he is just an ordinary village cadre. But in fact, he knows a lot of people outside, and he gets along well with people who work in the industry, and his energy is much higher than
It looks much bigger on the surface.
"Peng'er, this matter...you are a child, what can you do?"
The aunt sighed. The sisters felt very sorry for their youngest brother. They all knew that his brother was an honest person and would never take the initiative to hurt others. He must have been framed by others.
But at that time, in Zhao Peng's village, no one was willing to testify that he did not hit Zhao Peng's sixth uncle's leg with the handle of a hoe, so he was unjustly detained and about to be sentenced.
How can it not make people sad?
"Those bandits from the Zhao family, that worthless coward of your father, if it weren't for my sister, my brother would be like this. What can I do now? My sister is being bullied, and my brother can't just ignore it. Since he was bullied by the bandits,
If you are framed, you have no choice but to accept your fate, because there are still people on top of the bandits."
As the aunt talked, she began to wipe her tears with the corner of the sofa cover.
"Why are you crying? Listen to the baby first. Crying when there is nothing wrong can solve the problem?" The uncle put the water glass in his hand in front of the aunt and comforted her softly.
"I'm so angry, I'm not allowed to cry."
"Your face is covered with smoke oil. If you start crying, it will turn into the face of a tabby cat. If you are not afraid of kid jokes, just keep crying." The uncle said with a smile.
The aunt hit the uncle with a small dust broom on the sofa and burst into laughter.
"Peng'er, you just said you wanted to talk to us, what do you mean?" The uncle was still calm.
"Uncle, you see this..."
Zhao Peng told his uncle and aunt his thoughts, including the later development results of the incident, which are now displayed in the form of predictions.
My uncle and aunt were both interested.
"...So, aunt and uncle, if we can negotiate financial compensation, it may only cost some money, and my uncle will not have to be sentenced. No matter how much money is spent, it is at least better than going to jail. That jail
It’s only for people to enter, and it will make them cripple themselves.”
"It makes sense!" The uncle clapped his hands and looked at Zhao Peng with admiration, "You are indeed a top student. This idea is very thorough. If we can solve the problem with money, why make others suffer."
The aunt also had a little more hope in her eyes, and said to her uncle: "Ask your friends in the court to see what the specific rules are on this matter. If it is like what Peng said, no matter how much money we spend, we can't let the baby go."
His uncle was sentenced."
