Chapter 13 Buying Seeds

The saffron is planted low on the mature fruit trees, and the overall growth is very poor. Now is the time when the saffron blooms, but there are only a few saffron dotted here and there. It is not enough to drink tea, let alone sell it for money.

Zhang Taiping fiddled with the branches and said: "I only have three hundred and fifty yuan here, how much do you think I can get?"

Yang Wanli deliberately said with a straight face: "Brother Zhang, what you said is exaggerated. After all, we are also junior high school classmates, not to mention that Brother Zhang also helped me. Maybe that matter was insignificant to Brother Zhang, but it was enough to make me laugh at that time.

I will be grateful forever. Besides, saffron roots are like weeds here, and they can be regarded as pearls gathering dust. Now that the sword is given to heroes and delivered to the hands of those who need it, it has been put to its best use. Talking about money will hurt my feelings.

.”

Zhang Taiping put his hand into his pocket and couldn't get it out. Speaking of this, giving him money forcibly seemed hypocritical and really hurt his feelings.

After swinging his penis for a while, he dug out half a snakeskin bag. He waved his hands and asked, "Do you think how much land can be cultivated with these?"

Yang Wanli calculated for a while before replying: "About one point of land."

Zhang Taiping put away the gangsters and laid waste to Zheng Zheng. One point is enough."

After tying the bag, he asked again: "Are those under the peach tree over there strawberries?"

"Haha, Brother Zhang has a keen eye, and it is indeed a strawberry. I got this strawberry from a friend. It is an older variety. When I got it back, there were only a few trees. In a few years, the land under the tree has grown over." Again.

He asked, "I wonder if Brother Zhang has an orchard at home?"

"How many acres?" Zhang Taiping answered truthfully.

"Then dig some back and plant them under the fruit trees. This is a good thing. It will not have much impact on the tree under the tree, but it can inhibit the growth of weeds. This variety is old, and its size and disease resistance are inferior to the new varieties;

But the advantages are also very prominent, the color is bright, the pulp is thick and juicy, and the appearance is not bad. If you grow some for yourself, then grow some, and there is no need to manage them at all. You only need to remove the excess every winter; if you want

When a fruit is cultivated, it needs to be planted more densely and more management must be carried out. The main thing is to have enough water bath to prevent diseases. The other thing is that the spacing between the plants must be reorganized every winter." Yang Wanli suggested.

Zhang Taiping nodded without thinking. This is really worthless. Strawberry is a herbaceous perennial plant. In the summer when it grows vigorously, a tentacle can extend to more than one to two meters long. The tentacles touch the ground every twenty centimeters.

It will penetrate into the soil and form roots. A single seedling can cover an area of ​​two to three square meters in one year, and grow nearly a hundred new plants. The reproductive capacity is particularly strong. Let’s not discuss whether it makes money or not. At least it grows.

Some can be given to Yaya to sip.

Seeing Zhang Taiping nodded, Yang Wanli called his wife and asked his wife to send him a snakeskin bag and scissors. Zhang Taiping dug while he cut off the excess branches and leaves, leaving only two or three young leaves in the core, so that after planting, the number of leaves would decrease.

The loss of water facilitates survival.

While cutting, he said: "Strawberries like sunshine very much. They like water but are afraid of water, so they need to be planted in a place with sufficient sunshine and good drainage. To put it bluntly, strawberries only need a bag of water. During the period when they are blooming and bearing fruit, they need sufficient water.

.The most fearful thing during fruiting is continuous rain. If the fruit is not exposed to sunlight for four or five days, the fruit will become soft and ulcerated. A rainy season can destroy all the fruit with cores in it. So if conditions permit, it is best to grow in a greenhouse."

After digging, cutting and installing, Zhang Taiping said again: "Let's get some more fruit trees."

Yang Wanli asked: "I wonder what fruit trees Brother Zhang wants?"

"Two apples, pears, peaches, and longans each. By the way, two grapevines of each variety." Zhang Taiping finished in one breath.

Yang Wanli started digging without saying a word. It took the two of them more than half an hour to dig out a big bundle. They sat under the tree to rest for a while and smoked a cigarette. They became more familiar with each other in the smoke. Zhang Taiping couldn't help but ask curiously.

.

"You can contract such a large forest garden. You should not be short of money. Why do you set up a stall on the street?"

"Haha, this is my personality problem. I may make Brother Zhang laugh. Although I went to high school and college in the city for several years, I have always been unable to integrate into the life and environment in the city, and I even feel a little disgusted. I like it.

The green mountains in our countryside are eye-catching, surrounded by green water, and you can look up at the leisurely life of the blue sky. In the off-season for selling trees like autumn, I like to get on a three-wheeled motorcycle, pick up a few fruit trees, and find a stall on the street to chat for a long time.

.It feels very comfortable to watch the crowds coming and going at the market.”

"There's nothing funny about it. Being able to combine career and interests is considered a skill."

"Why didn't Brother Zhang go out to develop?"

Zhang Taiping leaned against the tree, blew out a puff of smoke, and replied: "Me, I have been ineffective these years and have not made any name for myself. I only have a wife and daughter at home, and I can't live without them. No, I want to develop something in the village.

, being able to support the family without leaving home.”

After finishing my cigarette, I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost four o'clock. I stood up, patted my butt and said, "It's getting late, I should go."

Yang Wanli also looked at his watch and said, "Okay, let's go there together. There are still some saplings on the street to pick up."

When he arrived at the garden gate, Zhang Taiping took out 350 yuan and sent it to Yang Wanli and said, "You should accept it this time. I have a lot of fruit trees."

Unexpectedly, Yang Wanli still blocked the way and said seriously: "Brother Zhang, I really want to make you a friend, but you are so indifferent. How can you think that you don't like me as a friend?"

Although the words were not heartbreaking, they were filled with accusations.

Zhang Taiping looked into Yang Wanli's eyes, and the other party looked at him, with firmness and sincerity in his eyes.

"Okay! I've made your friend." He patted Yang Wanli's shoulder with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan.

Yang Wanli grinned and said, "Brother Zhang, your hands are really strong. If you take two more shots, my little body will probably fall apart."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Taiping laughed heartily, "Then you have to work harder, otherwise your wife will not be able to spare you."

Yang Wanli also burst into laughter.

Sitting on the three-wheeled motorcycle, Zhang Taiping said with embarrassment: "I feel like a Japanese invader entering the village today. I eat and drink for free. I even asked for free before I left."

Yang Wanli smiled and said: "If a devil like you enters the village a few more times, I am really willing to do it. Haha."

After a while, he returned to the street. Zhang Taiping got out of the car. Since he didn't have a mobile phone or a phone at home, Zhang Taiping left the village chief's phone number with Yang Wanli and took his cell phone number. He carried the saplings and snakeskin bag.

Head south.

I found a secluded corner, put all my things in the space, and returned to the street. Since I didn't spend any money, I thought about taking some things back.

The streets in the afternoon were much less crowded than those in the morning and noon. People who had traveled far away or went to the market in the mountains returned home at two or three o'clock. Most of the people who were still shopping and wandering around were from nearby villages. Naturally, Zhang Taiping was an exception.

First we went to a smaller seed store. "Boss, do you have any seeds for summer vegetables in the store now?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Yes, yes." The fat and round boss said with a smile, "Although the shop is small, there is a saying that 'although a sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs.' Well, the seeds are available all year round, no matter what time of year.

Yes." He adjusted his glasses and asked again.

"I wonder what seeds you want, brother?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "Tomatoes, cucumbers, lentils, cannon peppers, second artillery peppers, onions, radishes, well, let's start with these."

The fat boss was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I would like to ask, brother, do you want to get out-of-season vegetables?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "I want to get some greenhouse vegetables. Let's try it out this year."

"Brother is a man of his own opinion at first sight." The fat boss raised his thumbs and complimented, "What a great idea! Vegetable prices have soared in recent years, so growing vegetables is a good way out. Plant some before it gets completely cold and harvest.

Store the fruits afterward and take them out at the end of the year to sell them at a good price."

"With the boss's words, let me recommend some varieties." Zhang Taiping grinned and said.

"Let me tell you, although it is warm in the greenhouse, it is definitely not as good as the natural temperature outside in summer, so you still need to choose cold-resistant seeds. For tomatoes, just choose 'Saffron No. 9'. Not to mention this variety is cold-resistant.

When mature, they are large and bright in color, taste good, and have high yields, making them suitable for planting and selling. As for cucumbers..."

The fat boss recommended each variety one by one. Zhang Taiping didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't understand the similarities and differences between each variety. He was going to plant them in space and the requirements for quality and climate were negligible. The reason why he asked the boss to introduce them was just

I didn’t even know what varieties there were. The boss made a decision after talking about it.

The fat boss clicked the calculator quickly and said: "The total is thirty-six and a half yuan. I feel like I like him as soon as I see him, so I'll take thirty-five yuan."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said nothing. He couldn't help but think that this fat boss was supposed to be a person who could do great things, and he was kind and smooth, but he only ran a small shop. It was strange. He laughed when he thought about it. Everyone has it.

Every family has their own stories, experiences and fates that are difficult to recite. Just like Yang Wanli, who owns a huge garden, but likes to set up stalls on the streets and experience the various aspects of life. He shook his head and said "next time" under the fat boss's words.

Come again" and walked out of the seed shop.

After that, I bought a bag of rice and some snacks for Yaya at Renrenle Supermarket. I picked up my bicycle at five o'clock and headed back home.

The wheels returning home spin like the wind, and shuttle like arrows on the road around the mountain. Home is a harbor where the wind and rain never stop, it is the end point of wandering wanderers, and it is the root of the swaying and rotating leaves falling. It is good to have something to rely on.

What you care about is also a kind of happiness.

Just when Zhang Taiping's heart was filled with satisfaction and joy, someone in front waved his hand to him. Zhang Taiping squeezed the car brake and stopped in front of the person waving his hand, with his legs on the ground.

This is a group of students, each riding a variable-speed bicycle, three men and four women. Judging from their clothes and faces, they should be college students who went out to play during the National Day holiday.

"Brother, excuse me. How do I get to Fengyukou Village?" A lively and bold girl with two or three cute little freckles on her nose came up and asked.

"It's not close. If you really want to go, you can follow me." Zhang Taiping said calmly.

"That's it, brother, can you wait a moment and let's discuss it?" the freckled girl hesitated and said.

"Yeah" Zhang Taiping nodded.

The seven people gathered together and murmured in low voices. Zhang Taiping did not listen deliberately, but stared at the cars passing by in the middle of the road.
