Allure of a Country Maiden

Hu Zidad took a few people around the orchard, passing some fruit trees, and picked all the ripe fruits. They came to the foot of the mountain on the other side.

There is a pond here, and several millet and banana trees are planted beside the pond.

There are three or two bananas on a banana tree that are ripe.

Huzi's father pointed to a bunch of millet bananas on the millet banana tree and said: "This is a pink banana. It can be cut down. The weather is hot now. You can eat it after covering it for two days."

Xiaoer took a look at the pink bananas on the banana tree. It turned out to be millet bananas. They must be called differently in different places.

"Although the pink banana is not as sweet as the banana, its pulp is relatively refreshing, has a light aroma, is sweet but not greasy, and is not as cold as the banana. I grew this banana from seeds obtained from a person from the Nangong Kingdom. Except for my family, no one else has pink bananas around here. It's a pity that there are no ripe pink bananas at home, otherwise you can pay for it now.

But it doesn’t matter, take all this bunch of pink bananas with you when you go back! Eat it when it's cooked. "After he said this, he found a hatchet under the weeds beside the pink banana tree and cut down the entire banana tree.

Because this pink banana is the only one of his family, every time it is ripe and sold in the county, many people will rush to buy it.

A bunch of pink bananas usually has seven or eight layers, and some have ten layers. A bunch weighs thirty to forty pounds and can be sold for ten cents per pound.

He plans to plant a row of banana trees around the entire pond. If two or three banana trees bear fruit a month, he can sell them for one tael of silver.

"Uncle, why did you cut down the entire banana tree?!" Zhao Yong saw his actions and was confused.

"It's useless if you don't cut it down. The banana tree only bears fruit once, and only one bunch at a time." Hu Zi's father explained.

"It's hard to grow a big tree. Isn't it such a loss to only bear fruit once?!" Zhao Yong frowned.

"No, planting pink bananas is relatively worry-free. Just add some fertilizer, and pink banana trees grow faster. Look, there are several small pink banana trees growing next to this big pink banana tree. When they grow up, they can bear fruit. In the past, people in the village could not grow bananas well. Then the government posted a notice, and I realized that it is better to plant banana trees near water. Now that the weather is so hot, you can see that these banana trees are still energetic. So excited!"

"Because bananas like a hot and humid climate, they grow more vigorously in land with deep, loose soil and good drainage. The soil near ponds and rivers has a lot of water. Even if the weather is dry, as long as there is water in the pond, , and there is no need to irrigate, how convenient it is!" Xiaoer explained briefly.

In fact, the real reason is that the leaves of bananas, plantains and pink bananas are all very wide. The wider leaves have stronger transpiration, while the shallow roots of banana trees have weak ability to use water. When the weather is good, the sun is strong, and the soil is Without enough water, banana trees will wither.

The appearance of the banana tree determines that it likes moisture and avoids drought. Bananas require a lot of water during their growth and development period, so it is easiest to plant them by rivers or ponds!

If a large number of plants are planted far away from the water source, and there is no water pump for irrigation, the harvest may not be good even if you rely on people's shoulders to carry water!

Hu Zi's father carried a large basket of fruit in one hand and twisted the bunch of pink bananas in the other hand and continued to move forward.

Zhao Yong saw this and took the initiative to help him pick up the bunch of pink bananas.

A few people walked towards Huzi's house. Xiaoer never expected that he would actually see a patch of strawberries at the foot of the mountain here!

No wonder Huzi said his father was good at growing fruits! This is the rhythm of planting all the fruits you can!

Dad Huzi stopped again and picked all the ripe strawberries.

It’s just that I didn’t plant much, and only picked more than twenty strawberries in total.

After the on-site inspection, Xiaoer was quite satisfied with Huzi Daddy. It was remarkable that the orchard was well-kept and almost every available place was used.

"Uncle, actually I came to visit you because I heard from Huzi that you are good at growing fruits." Xiaoer said at this time.

"What's wrong? Do you also want to plant fruit trees? Whatever fruits you want to grow, I will teach you everything I know."

The kindness of a drop of water was repaid by a spring of water. They saved Huzi's life and were the great benefactors of their family.

If they wanted to learn how to grow fruit, he would teach them everything they could.

"No, I have a kind of fruit imported from overseas, and I want to find someone to grow it in large quantities."

"What fruit?"

"Kirin fruit."

Huzi's father wanted to ask in detail, but Huzi ran over in a hurry: "Dad! Hurry! Go home quickly! The leopard and his grandparents came to the house to grab things!"

"What! Why are they here again!" Huzi's father was a little anxious after hearing this. He quickly picked up the basket and strode forward: He must not let his parents take away all the things. Those were brought by benefactors. Everything that came was taken away, so what could they entertain them with?

Xiaoer and Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at each other and then followed.

The path was rugged and Huzi's father had trouble with his legs and feet. He walked too fast and fell down. His injured leg happened to be pressed against a sharp stone, and he gasped in pain.

The water in the basket rolled all over the floor.

Jingrui quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Uncle, be careful, don't worry, Yangmei Yangliu is at home, everything will be fine."

"Zhao Yong, go back quickly and see what happened!" After Xiaoer finished giving instructions, she and Shangguan Xuanyi squatted down and picked up the fruits on the ground back into the basket.

Jingrui helped Hu Zi's father up, and Hu Zi's father grasped his injured leg with both hands, his facial features wrinkled together, it was obvious that he was in severe pain.

"Dad, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Huzi couldn't help but worry when he saw his father hugging his knees with pain on his face.

After Huzi's father fell down, the pain in his lame leg became even more painful. Now he can't even take a step.

When Jingrui saw this, he said, "Dad Hu Zi, let me carry you back."

Huzi's father didn't try to be brave. He was in so much pain that he couldn't walk. If he forced himself to walk, he would probably get more injured: "Thank you, Brother Shen."

Although Jingrui was dressed as a scholar, he had practiced martial arts for many years and did not look weak at all. He was able to rescue his son from a rushing river. Huzi's father did not think at all that Jingrui would not be able to carry him.

He lay on Jingrui's back, and Jingrui easily picked him up and walked smoothly to his home.

Shangguan Xuanyi held the basket of fruits in one hand and held Xiaoer in the other, reminding him to pay careful attention to his steps and followed them back.

"Brother Shen has practiced martial arts, right?" Hu Zi's father asked enviously. When he was a child, he also wanted to learn martial arts and imagined that he could become a general when he grew up.

But I didn't expect that he did go to the army. He went to the battlefield and injured his leg. When he came back, his parents took away all his compensation money. Then they disliked the fact that the family only ate and did not work, so they drove them away. Leave the house, purify yourself and leave the house.
