Happy Little Mayor

Eva gave him a small sapling and introduced him: "This is a sapling of Eucalyptus almond, well, it is not a very precious tree, but it is very suitable to accompany a town to grow because it has a longer life."

After knowing the name, Wang Bo understood the identity of the tree. Some time ago, when he was planning to plant trees on both sides of the highway, he had read the information of most trees suitable for New Zealand planting.

Eucalyptus almond is a giant tree with a long life. It is native to the grasslands of Australia and generally can grow to more than 100 meters. The tallest tree king is 156 meters, which is higher than the tallest General Cedar tree in the Americas. It is also 14 meters high, which is equivalent to a height of 50 floors!

This tree is called the earth and tower tree by the Maori, which translates to "the tallest tower in the tree world".

In addition to its amazing height, it also has a weird thing: the almond eucalyptus, which can grow extremely tall, has almost no shadow under the tree. This is because its leaves are slender and curved, and the sides are facing up. The leaves are parallel to the direction of sunlight projection, as if hanging from a tree branch. Sunlight can pour out from the gaps in the leaves and not block the light.

Wang Bo took the sapling and said with joy, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Eva, you are so considerate. I will plant this tree at the junction of Highway 8 into the town. I believe it will become a landmark in the future. tree."

The growth of Eucalyptus almond is very fast. Don't look at it now, it is just such a humble little tree. As long as the living environment is suitable, it can grow into a tree of ten meters high in four or five years, and then start to grow faster Long journey.

Eva smiled, "I thought you would plant it on a wetland by the lake. It can drive mosquitoes, you know?"

Wang Bo did know that when he knew Eucalyptus almonds, the first introduction he saw was that the root system of this tree is 30 meters long, the roots are deep and wide, and the water absorption is particularly large. ".

Eva isn't really right. It can't repel mosquitoes, but it can cut off mosquito breeding.

Most mosquitoes lay their eggs in swamp wetlands and dead ponds full of sewage. Eucalyptus almonds has a strong water absorption capacity. Planted in this environment, it can absorb a large amount of surrounding water, so there is no mosquito without sewage.

It absorbs more water and evaporates more water. It is said that this tree can evaporate 175 tons of water every year when it is an adult, which is very amazing.

At first Wang Bo wanted to plant eucalyptus almonds. He wanted to plant a giant tree jungle. One was to beautify the environment and the other was to produce economic benefits.

You know, the wood of eucalyptus almond is an excellent material for making boats, cars, and electric poles. It is not the cement electric poles that are setting up the electric wires in Sunset Town, but the trunk of eucalyptus eucalyptus.

In addition, valuable tanning or gum can be extracted from the trees of this tree. Its leaves have a special fragrance, which can be used to refine eucalyptus leaf oil. One of the main raw materials of eucalyptus sugar is eucalyptus leaf oil, which has a cooling and cough suppressing effect.

However, I learned later that Eucalyptus almonds is not suitable for large-scale cultivation around farmlands, because its water absorption capacity is too strong, it will cause serious damage to groundwater resources, and it will grab water with crops and forages.

However, a small amount of planting is not a problem. If it is planted at the entrance of a small town road, it is more suitable. Once it grows to more than one hundred meters, it can indeed become a landmark plant in the sunset town.

After getting Eucalyptus almond, Wang Bo was no longer at work. He went to the soldier's uncle Benjamin to borrow a military shovel and happily took Eva and Daier to plant trees.

Benjamin's son, the soldier brother Gerard, kept two pitbulls. The two little boys looked fierce, and when they saw Pharaoh entering the door, they attacked.

In the end, they yelled twice. The strong man rushed to hear the news. He didn't need to speak, but just glared at the two pitbulls, who closed his mouth immediately.

Pitbulls are used exclusively as fighting dogs. They are very ferocious breeds and are not allowed in New Zealand's cities. But in the face of several heavyweights who have grown in size, the two guys have not the slightest temper.

They were abused by the Zhuang Ding. The Zhuang Ding followed the Pharaoh to work, and he walked around the town without any problems. The dogs raised by the townspeople had been cleaned up by him.

Wang Bo chose the planting place at the east entrance of Highway 8 into the town, which is the direction from the Olympic city into the town.

It is more than 30 kilometers away from the town center, and surrounded by a wide and flat grassland. A large tree more than 100 meters high on the flat ground is more shocking.

Planting a tree, a fat rabbit ran out of the bushes, and the strong man turned and chased after it. He leaped a few steps and jumped up. He opened his mouth to catch the rabbit, and then ran away with his mouth in his mouth. come back.

Eva patted her head and laughed, "Wow, the strong man is such a capable child."

Wang Bo invited Eva and Daier to go to the dessert house for coffee and dessert. Harris-Born, the former owner of m151e2 Jeep, came to the town some time ago and rented a small building with a friend. The first floor is a dessert shop. The second floor is the coffee shop.

Seeing this, Eva said: "If you want to have a dessert, there is no need to spend money here. Go to my house. I think the dessert I made is not bad."

Little Loli nodded her head after hearing this: "Uh-huh, my sister is very, very, very tasty, but her dessert is very, very good!"

Wang Bo did not pursue the taste of dessert. He usually does not eat snacks. Desserts are a kind of meal for New Zealanders, and for him, they are snacks.

However, it felt good to be a guest at Eva's new home, so he readily agreed.

Harris, who was entertaining customers, saw them. He beckoned and asked, "Mayor, would you like to try my craft? I heard that you are good at cooking, but you must not make a dessert like me."

Wang Bo laughed: "Of course, I admit it, but I'm not here to eat, uh, I just drove past here to say hello to you, bye!"

As soon as the jeep left, Harris was complacent behind him: He seemed to have a place in the town, and the mayor came to say hello.

Eva lived in the residential area of ​​the town, or a block house, located at the east end of the first row, far away from China Road, quiet and peaceful.

When passing by the convenience store, Wang Bo asked if she wanted to buy some condiments. Eva shook her head and said that she often makes desserts, so the utensils and ingredients at home are sufficient.

After getting out of the car, Eva asked Wang Bo to sit in the living room and watch TV. She went to the kitchen and started preparing desserts.

How can Pharaoh watch TV on the sofa? Looking at the beautiful teacher busy in the kitchen, my heart was very agitated: I got the kitchen in the hall, the good wife and mother! (To be continued.)
