Chapter 6 Orchard

Opening the door, there is a small valley adjacent to the backyard. Two figures, one large and one small, are busy in it, and a yellow-gray native dog is jumping around next to them.

This small valley belongs to his family, and he has contributed to it, Zhang Taiping thought with a self-deprecating smile.

The village committee allocates the soil slopes and low hills around the village to each household. These lands have less soil and more rocks, or because the slopes are too steep and cannot be used for planting crops or normal farming, they are divided among each family.

Each household is used to plant some fruit trees.

When the village was first divided, there were only about a hundred households in the village. A fart at the head of the village could be heard at the end of the village. Everyone knew Zhang Taiping's character. All the work in the fields was done by his mute wife, and there was no hard work.

I felt sorry for her, so I divided the valley behind the house directly for her. After planting fruit trees, it would be easier to manage and work. Others would draw lots to get where they are.

Fruit saplings are distributed free of charge by the government. After they are planted in the ground, each tree will receive a subsidy of two yuan from the state every year.

In fact, in the minds of most villagers, fruit trees cannot make much money.

Let’s not talk about natural factors. The initial investment is high, the growth cycle is long, and it requires long-term busy care. Besides, even if the weather is good, there are no pests and diseases, and the fruit is good, you don’t know who to buy it from.

It's better to go out to work and be stable. If you don't gamble and don't mess around, in addition to food and accommodation, you can still end up with more than 10,000 yuan in a year.

Most people plant walnut trees or chestnut trees. They plant them on the slopes or on the top of mountains just to respond to the call of the state and receive an annual subsidy of one to two thousand yuan.

And my wife Yazhi listened to the advice of her sister who is in college, and she belongs to that minority of people. They hope that fruit trees can make money, and they have invested a lot of energy and expectations in them.

Zhang Taiping followed the path into the small valley.

The bottom of the valley is a flat land, which is quite large, about five or six acres.

About two or three acres in the middle of the area with better soil quality are planted with dwarf grapevines. Judging from the growth of the trees, they are two years old. The branches are too lush, and each branch is carefully tied to the bamboo pole tied next to it.

.However, it was also revealed that the management people lacked skills and did not prune the redundant branches, which caused the tree's nutrients to be too scattered and wasted.

Cherry trees are planted near the slopes on both sides, totaling more than two acres.

On the low slopes on both sides, there are peach trees planted in areas where the soil is still rich. I vaguely remember that they are still peaches.

Further up, on the sandy soil, only some walnut trees can be planted.

The wife is holding the word barking the word, and the eunuch of the eunuch is sitting next to the mud that she sits on the sweet potato with a small hand.

When the local dog Ah Huang saw Zhang Taiping coming, he immediately put his tail between his legs, made a big circle, and ran back to the house via the path that Zhang Taiping came from.

In the past, every time Zhang Taiping came home, Ah Huang would welcome Ah Huang with a wagging tail. However, Zhang Taiping, who had lost money, was full of anger and directly kicked Ah Huang. As time went by, Ah Huang immediately ran away with his tail between his legs as soon as he saw him.

It seems that the enemy is advancing and we are retreating.

Zhang Taiping stretched out his hand to touch little Yaya's head, but saw that the little girl shrank her neck, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Zhang Taiping's hand stopped in the air and could not fall down, as if he had committed a terrible crime. There was a feeling of pity and pain in his heart.

When his wife turned around and saw Zhang Taiping, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.

According to the past, Zhang Taiping never went to the ground, but just acted like a master and pointed fingers at home.

The sun came out in the west today. How could I not surprise my wife?

Zhang Taiping opened his mouth and wanted to call out Yazhi, but when he closed his mouth, he said, "You mute, please offend me."

Because Zhang Taiping used to call his wife this way.

The wife was stunned for a moment, and then quickly gestured with her hands.

This time, Zhang Taiping understood clearly. It meant that he had lost a lot of blood the night before, and his grandfather said that he was very weak and needed to have a good rest.

This made Zhang Taiping, who was used to seeing warm and cold relationships in his previous life, both warm and ashamed that such a big man had to be supported by a woman's family.

He snatched it away and started digging. Zhang Taiping had never been in the ground before or in this life, let alone dug sweet potatoes.

With a click, Ichigo dug into a large sweet potato. After digging hard, half of the sweet potato, the size of an adult's fist, was pulled out. The other half was embedded in the soil, secreting milky white juice.

Seeing that everything his wife had dug was intact, Zhang Taiping was embarrassed for a while and then dug hard again.

The wife had no choice but to use a sickle to cut off the vines, exposing the roots. Then she and Yaya sat together and rubbed the mud.

The little girl was obviously absent-minded and glanced at Zhang Taiping from time to time.

Men always work harder than women, and they dug out a lot in a short time. After the wife pulled the corner of her clothes, she stopped still.

The wife quickly sent her the handkerchief she carried with her.

He took the handkerchief embroidered with unknown flowers. Under the nine o'clock sunshine, he looked at his wife who inadvertently brushed her hair with her hand. Although she was not the most beautiful woman, she still had a charm that no one else could understand.

There was a palpitation in his heart.

After filling the sweet potatoes, the snakeskin bag is full, which will be enough for a while.

The wife took out a rope and tied up the cut vines. They could be taken back to feed chickens and sheep, and they could also be dried and used as firewood.

In Zhang Taiping's confused eyes, his wife quickly climbed to the top of the slope and pulled down the sheep tied to the old locust tree at the top of the slope.

It was a ewe, and it was actually pregnant.

Goat milk is squeezed once a day and weighs about three to four kilograms.

Zhang Taiping didn't drink goat's milk in the past. Firstly, he thought it had a faint smell of mutton, and secondly, drinking it would make his nose bleed if he drank it too much.

Goat's milk is different from cow's milk. Cow's milk is cool and mild in nature. The body's reaction after drinking it is not very obvious, so it is suitable for long-term drinking. Goat's milk is yang, too strong, and has aphrodisiac effects, which most people really can't stand.

.Not suitable for young and strong men to drink.

However, goat milk is far more nutritious than cow milk. Cows are picky about grass and like to eat one type of grass. Especially now, the cows that are specially raised for feed produce worse milk quality. Sheep, on the other hand, are not picky about grass. They eat all kinds of grass and produce more milk.

The milk nutrition is relatively complete and balanced.

Of the three or four kilograms of milk, I reserved half a kilogram for Yaya to drink, and the rest was ordered. At two yuan per kilogram, I could earn seven or eight yuan a day.

After the sheep went downhill, they automatically walked back along the path. His wife held Yaya's hand and followed behind. Zhang Taiping picked up a sixty-seven kilogram snakeskin bag with one hand and carried it on his shoulder and walked last.

When passing the vine, Zhang Taiping asked: "Why don't you prune the branches?"

In the face of his wife's surprised and confused expression, Zhang Taiping patted his forehead and explained, "Fruit trees need to be pruned regularly. Too many branches will disperse nutrients. And many of them are branches and do not bear fruit. These need to be pruned

Cut them off to make the main branches grow stronger. Especially for this kind of dwarf grapevine, two main branches are enough, and two more branches are divided on each upper trunk, and three branches are enough."

"Understand?"

The wife shook her head sheepishly.

Playing the piano to a cow, Zhang Taiping thought to himself, he is really brave, he doesn't know anything and still dares to expect this to make money, it will be good if it can bear fruit.

"Okay, it's okay. I will prune it then. There are also those cherry trees and peach trees that need to be pruned."

The whole journey was silent.

After returning home, the wife tied up the sheep and the family went to the front room.

Zhang Taiping, who had already eaten breakfast, felt that he had nothing to do and walked around the room. He didn't know where Yaya had gone to hide. There was only the busy figure of his wife back and forth.

Zhang Taiping, who was looking for something to do, suddenly thought of something, took off the clock hanging on the bedroom wall and ran to the backyard.

He wanted to experiment to see if the mysterious space was as magical as written in the novel.

From the backyard, I dug up a few radish and cabbage seedlings that had just grown, got into the north room of the back room, and closed the door.

As soon as I thought about it, the jade pendant came out from between the eyebrows and floated in front of my eyes.

Zhang Taiping put the clock on the table, waited for the time to reach nine thirty-five, held the vegetable seedlings in his left hand, grabbed the jade pendant with his right hand, and disappeared into the room with a swish.

Entering the space, I was still shocked.

I dug a hole in the red-black slightly moist soil with my hands, put the vegetable seedlings in, and covered it with soil.

Standing nearby, staring at Cai Miao with blinking eyes. Ten minutes have passed, and my eyes are about to burst into tears. Cai Miao still has not changed. Well, somewhat, she is more energetic than when she first came in.

I can't even tell why.

Zhang Taiping went to the pool and scooped up a handful of spring water with both hands. He quickly held it up to the vegetable seedlings and carefully poured it on the roots.

A miraculous scene happened.

The vegetable seedlings grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were on steroids. They did not slow down until they were twenty centimeters tall.

Zhang Taiping, however, ran to the spring as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and took another sip. He ran back like the wind, poured water on the roots again, and squatted beside him, looking expectantly.

The cabbage and radish that had just slowed down began to grow crazily again, and you could hear the squeaking sound of the leaves rubbing against each other as the cabbage grew round.

After the growth stopped this time, the cabbage knots were as big as basketballs, as green as if carved from jade.

Zhang Taiping directly pulled out a radish. It was about a foot long, as thick as a person's calf, and had distinct white and green skin.

Peel off the skin and take a bite. It is crisp and refreshing without any original spiciness.

While enjoying the appetizing radish, use the radish skin to scoop some spring water and pour it on the mature cabbage roots. The tender and green cabbage ages and withers faster than it grows.

The withered leaves fell to the ground, and there was a flash of green light on the ground, and the withered yellow leaves were decomposed into gray soil.

Zhang Taiping stopped and thought for a while and summarized some basic functions of space.

First of all, the space can accommodate myself and my seedlings, which means that the space can hold both plants and animals. It is a powerful storage space.

Secondly, space spring water has a stimulating and optimizing effect on plants. Judging from the last time I drank water, it has no stimulating effect on animals, but it can improve the animal's physique, which can be regarded as optimization.

Thirdly, the space land has the function of automatically dividing the dead branches and leaves.

As for whether the time advantage is explained, you have to watch it to know.

Thinking of this, my mind moved and I appeared in the house.

I looked at the "brand-name" watch on my wrist and saw that the hour hand had just turned one click. Then I looked at the clock on the table, it was nine thirty-seven.

Zhang Taiping's eyebrows jumped, two minutes. In other words, one hour passed inside, but only two minutes passed outside. The time passed inside was thirty times faster than outside.

Thirty times the difference, Zhang Taiping wanted to calm down, but his mouth began to crack uncontrollably.

He simply let go of his temper and burst into laughter, "Haha...hahaha..."

I couldn't help but think passionately in my heart: "Rural areas, what's happening to rural areas? We can also make a fortune in rural areas, and it's possible to drive the whole village to become rich."
