Chapter 500: The Cornel

Zhang Taiping left Yang Wanli's forest garden, found a secluded place, and put the kiwi seeds in his hand into the space. Then, while distracted, he locked the six marked horses in the space.

Pay attention to what's going on nearby.

After locking his mind on the six horses, he quickly checked the situation around him and made sure that no one would find him. Only then did his mind move and six horses suddenly appeared around him.

This situation is really weird. It frightened the bird on the nearby tree so much that it screamed, flapped its wings and flew away in panic. Fortunately, it was a bird. If you were alone, you would be frightened even if you didn't have a heart disease.

heart disease.

The six pure brown horses suddenly appeared in a strange place. They panicked, pawing their hooves restlessly, neighing softly and looking around. After a while, they calmed down and gathered around Zhang Taiping.

There is an inexplicable connection between the animals that come out of space and Zhang Taiping, and several horses are naturally close to him.

After Zhang Taiping calmed down the six horses thoroughly, he got on the motorcycle, and the horses followed closely behind.

Since he had six horses, Zhang Taiping did not return to the town through the town again. He was afraid that the horses and their wild nature might bump into people, so he chose some quiet roads with few people, which inevitably led to many detours.

So it was already evening when I got home.

The people who were building the road just packed up and left. When they saw Zhang Taiping coming back with six horses, they were naturally surprised and stopped to watch.

Zhang Taiping, who was in the nearby village, did not dare to ride too fast, and the horses following him naturally slowed down. There was no one on the road around the mountain before, so Zhang Taiping's motorcycle was not slow, and the six horses were running at a natural speed.

It's not slow, so I don't have time to look at this new world. Now that the speed has slowed down, I have time to move forward with limited steps while looking left and right to look at the surrounding environment.

People are looking at the horses curiously, and the horses are looking at the people curiously.

Ordinary villagers didn't know the value of these six horses, but the leader of the road construction team had some knowledge and could guess some of the value of these horses, especially the one with a tuft of white hair that looked like a flame on its forehead.

The horse was even more handsome, and it looked like a rare BMW. He was greatly surprised.

After entering the village, the sound of horse hooves attracted many villagers to come out to watch, especially the children who were inexplicably happy when they saw a group of horses running past the door. Then they followed behind, howling and running, without thinking.

I know how happy I am.

When passing by the field, Wang Li and his group just finished their day's work and walked to the edge of the wheat field. When Wang Li saw Zhang Taiping followed by several horses, he immediately ran over excitedly.

Zhang Taiping had no choice but to stop, and the horses behind him also stopped. He curiously measured the group of people walking behind Wang Li. Maybe he was thirsty after running for too long, so he ran to the nearby river to drink water.

.

Wang Li looked at a row of six horses drinking water and asked, "Are these all horses you bought?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Of course I bought it."

"Are you really planning to become a landlord?" Wang Li said jokingly.

Zhang Taiping chuckled and said, "I'm going to use it to pull the sedan chair."

"They look very good, and they all have extraordinary looks." Wang Li asked Zhang Taiping.

Before Zhang Taiping could answer, Wang Laoqiang behind him said with a smile: "Wang Li, I didn't expect you to be able to tell whether a horse is handsome or not?" After working together for a few days, they became familiar with each other.

There are also some harmless jokes between them from time to time.

Wang Li said: "Hey, I don't know how to look at horses, but these horses look much better than the horses that often appear on TV, especially the six horses with the same color, which makes it even more difficult.

Already."

Zhang Taiping said: "It's hard to find. I bought it from a friend in Inner Mongolia."

"How much does it cost?" Wang Li asked.

"You want to buy it too?"

"That's not true, I'm just curious about the price." Wang Li said, and the other people watching also pricked up their ears. They were more concerned about the value of these horses, they were just curious.

"One hundred thousand horses."

"One hundred thousand yuan per horse, that's 600,000 yuan. A good guy can buy a nice car." Wang Li sighed.

Zhang Taiping actually didn't know the price of a horse. He just picked the price casually. Fortunately, others did the same, and no one suspected it.

Wang Li was just surprised, but the villagers next to him were shocked. This was 600,000 yuan. He just threw it away. It was hard to believe that this was the entire assets of several families combined.

After finally looking away from the six horses, Wang Li pointed to Zhang Taiping*'s motorcycle as if he had discovered a new world and asked: "This motorcycle is so domineering, is it a sports car?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "What does it mean to be domineering or not? It's mainly because it can carry me. Other motorcycles can't do it at all."

"How much did it cost?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "A friend gave it to me. I don't know the price myself."

"Tsk, tsk, that's a big deal..."

While everyone was talking, a child was preparing to approach the horse drinking water by the river.

Zhang Taiping quickly spoke up and said: "Don't dare to get close. These horses have just been brought back to the wild and have not yet been tamed. It will be bad if you get too close and get kicked by the hoof."

Hearing what Zhang Taiping said, the parents nearby quickly pulled their children close to them. There was a precedent of a mad cow trampling people to death in the village next door. Horses and cows are about the same size, so if they are startled, the result will be equally terrible.

The Zhou people watched for a while before satisfying their curiosity and left one after another. The horses also finished drinking water and returned to Zhang Taiping.

After bringing them home, Zhang Taiping just let everyone take a look and prepared to saddle them up and tie them in the stable at the back. Now everyone is not familiar with the horses, so they are not suitable for close contact. They have to spend some time with them first.

wild.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming down from the southern hillside, accompanied by a long neighing sound.

The six horses stopped at the same time and pricked up their ears, their hooves tapping restlessly.

A moment later, the black dragon flew down from the mountain with a puff of yellow smoke. It quickly rushed to the six horses and stopped suddenly. The six horses were frightened by the power of the black dragon and all took a few steps back.

Only then did the black dragon proudly raise his head and circle around several horses, and touched each horse with his head. All the horses gave way and did not dare to resist.

"Brother, what is Black Dragon doing?" Fan Ming asked in confusion.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "The underworld has taken over a younger brother."

"Underworld? Take in a younger brother?" Fan Ming opened her mouth in surprise.

Zhang Taiping explained: "This is the black dragon swearing its majesty, telling the six horses in my heart that it is the boss here."

"Hey, Heilong also knows how to take in his younger brother, that's really fun!" Fan Ming looked at Heilong and said with a smile.

Zhang Taiping said: "When we were on the grassland, Black Dragon had hundreds of thousands of subordinates."

At this time, the black dragon fiddled with the six horses for a while and then Herod neighed. All six horses lowered their heads, even the horse with a ball of white hair on its forehead.

In this way, the black dragon came to Zhang Taiping like a victorious general, and then ran towards the stable. The six horses followed him, and Zhang Taiping didn't need to catch them.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi entered the space together.

Kiwi seeds are smaller than black sesame seeds, and there are not many in a small plastic bag. Zhang Taiping marked an area of ​​four square meters on the central land, then pinched a small handful of seeds and sprinkled them evenly.

Afterwards, Cai Yazhi asked Cai Yazhi to fill some space spring water with a watering can and sprinkle it on it. As the space spring water spread like rain, a magical scene appeared. The black seeds scattered in the soil sprouted and took root one after another, and then with the naked eye

Seedlings grow to be half a foot tall at a visible speed.

Cai Yazhi stopped to sprinkle water and asked: "Is this height enough?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "That's enough. Let's go to the bamboo forest and cut some bamboo to build a frame." Zhang Taiping planned to plant another acre of kiwi fruit trees next to the wheat field, and already planted one on the other side.

There are acres of vines, and I want to turn this place into an idyllic paradise. How much fruit can be produced is secondary, but mainly the artistic conception.

Kiwi trees are also vine-like, somewhat similar to grapevines, and need to be wrapped around a trellis for better growth and fruiting.

It took a whole day to chop bamboo and build the frame. It seems that people can't feel tired in the space. If they work like this outside for a day, they will be tired. Especially Cai Yazhi is a woman, but in the space she just

I just feel a little tired.

Transplant the kiwi fruit saplings under the established shelf, and then water them with some space spring water diluted with ordinary water. This is not to encourage further growth, but to ensure the survival rate.

Finally, two saplings were left on the central land. These two saplings were intended to be watered directly with space spring water until they bear fruit.

There are all kinds of fruits on the central land. The fruits produced by the fruit trees on this land are not sold outside, and are only reserved for the family to eat. The fruits produced by the fruit trees next to the wheat field in front of the bamboo building can be exported to the outside world.

sell.

Under Cai Yazhi's constant watering, the two kiwi trees grew wildly, with chopstick-thick seedlings growing crazily and climbing up the shelf. Soon the branches and broad leaves covered the entire shelf with green. Then they blossomed and bore fruit.

.In less than ten minutes, the two fruit trees were covered with kiwi fruits slightly larger than eggs, with a layer of green hair on them.

Zhang Taiping pinched a fruit and said: "Okay, it has become soft again."

Cai Yazhi stopped watering after hearing this, but the spring water that had been poured was still working, and the fruit gradually became soft. It was not until the fruit was completely soft that the effect of the spring water faded away, and the fruit remained in this state.

The two of them each picked a kiwi fruit, peeled off the furry skin and tasted it.

The growth process of kiwi fruit is somewhat similar to that of persimmon. When it is not ripe, it is hard and tastes like old vinegar, which can be sour. When it is ripe, it will automatically soften and the flesh inside will turn green and appear green.

Translucent, it looks like green crystal under sunlight, which is very appetizing.

"It's very sweet!" Cai Yazhi said after taking a bite.

Zhang Taiping nodded. They were grown in the space and irrigated with space spring water. They are naturally different from ordinary kiwis outside. The sweetness becomes stronger while maintaining the original taste, but it is not

It's not as sweet as honey, but with a fragrant sweetness that makes people want to stop.

Kiwi fruit has never been seen in the village, and it is not common in the town. It is unknown that this is the first time for Cai Yazhi to eat it. She ate four in one go before stopping.

"Pick some and take them out?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Well, pick some and take them out. When I came back this time, I didn't bring anything delicious to Yaya. When I took them out, I said I bought them from the town tomorrow morning."

This time I came in mainly to plant kiwis. Now that I'm done, I've tidied up the other fruits and vegetables a little to make room.

The next day Zhang Taiping got up a little late again. After he came out and I was washing, everyone in the house was already doing their own things, but the strange thing was that everyone had a knife on their head or arm.

A short branch and leaf, even Wukong is no exception.

"What's the significance of this?" Zhang Taiping asked, pointing to the branches and leaves on Cai Yazhi's arm.

"Have you forgotten how to live your life? Today is September 9th!" Cai Yazhi said with a smile while inserting a branch with a few leaves on him.

"September 9? Double Ninth Festival!" Zhang Taiping slapped his forehead and said, "I really forgot about the day. Is this the dogwood?"

"Cortex?" Cai Yazhi thought for a while and said, "Yeah, but that's the name in the book. We don't call it Cornel here, it's called Ai Zi."

Cornus officinalis, also known as "Yue Jiao", is also called mugwort in the mountains. It is an evergreen and fragrant plant that has the functions of killing insects, disinfecting, and dispelling cold and wind. Woody Cornus can be divided into Evodia, Dogwood and Edible Cornus.

, are all famous Chinese medicines.

On the Double Ninth Festival, pick its branches and leaves.

The fruit is sewn into a small bag with red cloth and worn on the body to ward off evil spirits. It is a folk medicine commonly used to prevent epidemics in ancient times. The practice of planting dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival was very common in the Tang Dynasty. The most famous one is Wang

Wei's "Reminiscences of Shandong Brothers on September 9th": Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season.

I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, they were planting dogwood trees everywhere and one of them was missing.

It has been passed down to this day that wearing dogwood is not only used to ward off evil spirits, but also used to express longing for loved ones.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Then do you need to climb up and look far away today?"

Cai Yazhi smiled and said, "That's not necessary."

The dogwood is ripe at this time, and there will be red fruits on it. Zhang Taiping asked: "Why don't you see the fruit on the dogwood? Sew this in a small bag and wear it on your body. It can be used as a sachet."

Cai Yazhi pointed to the plate drying on the eaves and said: "Where to dry it? I forgot it two days ago. It was a little wet when I picked it this morning. It needs to be dried before it can be sewn into the sachet."

Zhang Taiping looked at the dogwood hanging on his arm and smiled and walked outside. This small branch may not have any effect, but it contains a good wish.
