The next day, Yang Feng, the eldest brother of the aunt, received a call from his nephew and immediately mobilized all the farm fertilizer in his hand and pulled it over to Zhang Fan. He also knew that his nephew had been short of money recently, so he didn't open his mouth to withdraw money.

The old village chief also came to visit, the slopes on both sides, the reclamation area of the mountain on one side is more than 100 acres, making this place another symbol of Zhangjiazhai.

When grapes are planted, there are grape mountains on both sides, what kind of scenery is it?

Every time Zhang Fan moves, he is a big deal, which attracts the attention of many people.

"I thought you contracted the mountain farm to raise chickens. The old village chief said.

At the beginning, Zhang Fan said so, contracting mountain farms to engage in breeding. Saying that the price of free-range chickens outside is high and the market is vast, the old village chief believed this.

Zhang Fan did not deny it, nodded and smiled: "That's right! Here, I will raise a large number of chickens in the future." Grapes are also afraid of insect pests, and it is best to raise chickens and catch insects. ”

"This way, you can do it. The old village chief smiled bitterly.

It's not that no one in the village tried to do the same thing as Zhang Fan, driving the poultry to the vegetable field to help, catching insects, but it will also spoil the vegetables, so scared that the villagers hurriedly caught the chickens and ducks.

"This soil is a little dry, aren't you afraid?" the village party secretary also asked.

Now he found out that the soil on both sides of the mountain was so dry.

"It's this kind of sandy, dry soil that makes good grapes. Zhang Fan said to him.

Grapes have strong adaptability to soil, sandy soil, sandy loam, loam, gravelly soil, light saline-alkaline soil and other soils can be planted, but sandy loam soil is the most suitable, and sandy loam soil should be selected as much as possible for planting.

Dry soil, on the other hand, is conducive to the accumulation of sugar in grapes, and too much water is not good.

Even precipitation can have a huge impact on the grapes, strongly affecting the growth and development of the grapes, affecting the yield and quality of the grapes. In some regions, seasonal variations in precipitation for certain cultivars are among the most important climatic factors for the regionalization of grape varieties.

Wei Shun and his group, under the guidance of Zhang Fan, fertilized the land and transplanted the grape seedlings to the land.

The work was methodical and took five days to plant vine seedlings on all the land that had been cultivated on the mountain. The subsequent work, which is easier but very hard, is watering.

Because the watering equipment has not yet been obtained, it is a very painful thing to manually water more than 200 acres of grapes, especially when carrying water up the mountain.

Fortunately, the grapes are not watered every day, otherwise they would really vomit blood.

Related equipment, Zhang Fan is already planning. What he needs most urgently now is to make a big profit. Strawberries and black-skinned watermelons are not ripe yet, so I can't wait.

Therefore, Zhang Fan can only pin his hopes on those flowers and trees.

Cheng Huayao has been in contact with him since last month, and there will be a bonsai trade fair held in the provincial capital recently, and he is invited to participate in it.

Since getting a few excellent orchids from Zhang Fan, Cheng Huayao often contacted Zhang Fan to pass on some news in the circle, such as where there is a flower show, where a new variety of orchid appears, and so on.

Zhang Fan has been preparing since a month ago, carefully creating a unique potted plant, ready to make a fortune.

The bonsai plant is a variation of traditional Chinese garden art. As for the cultivation of ornamental plants, it originated from ancient landscaping, which imitated natural landscapes to create gardens.

Nowadays, bonsai can be divided into several categories, such as: tree bonsai, landscape bonsai, water and drought bonsai, flower and plant bonsai, etc.

It is more common for everyone to express the giant trees or lush forest scenes in the wilderness in the pot, which is collectively referred to as tree bonsai, with trees as the main material, with mountains and rocks, people, birds and beasts as a foil, through climbing, pruning, shaping and other technical processing and horticultural cultivation.

Because the materials of tree bonsai are often mined from the mountains and wilderness, tree bonsai is customarily called stump bonsai.

Shanshui bonsai is special because bonsai without plants is made of mountain stones. With a variety of mountains and rocks as the theme material, with the landscape scene in nature as a model, after selection and cutting, carving, splicing and other technical processing, arranged in the shallow basin, showing the cliffs, dangerous peaks and ravines, green mountains and streams and other landscape scenes.

Water and drought bonsai is mainly based on plants, rocks, soil, water, accessories, etc. as materials, through processing, layout, the method of separating water and soil by mountain stones, in the shallow basin to express the natural water surface, dry land, trees, mountains and rocks have a kind of landscape bonsai.

Zhang Fan carefully prepared a pot of flowers and plants, with flowers or woody flowers as the main material, after a certain amount of decoration and processing, appropriate configuration of mountain stones and decorative accessories, in the pot to express the beautiful scenery of flowers and plants in nature.

That is the Tianyi lotus cultivated by Zhang Fan, a pot of five seedlings, each seedling has a flower, if it is displayed, it is estimated that it will scare people to death.

Originally, Tianyi lotus was not yet in the season of flowering. But Zhang Fan was in a hurry for money, so he had to use a net bottle to transform it and urge it to grow. The flower color is golden, the flower shape is large, the lotus petals, the plain heart, no variegation.

"Are you going to the provincial capital?" asked the uncle.

"Yes, I'm going to leave tomorrow, Boss Cheng invited me to participate in the bonsai trade fair, and I plan to get a plate of flowers to see how it goes. Zhang Fan told the truth.

The two uncles and nephews chatted until late at night, reminiscing about the past, talking about the present days, and planning for their future lives.

After dawn, Zhang Fan ate the breakfast made by his aunt, and then set off to join Cheng Huayao with great ambition.

After the two converged, Cheng Huayao saw the potted plant that Zhang Fan carried, his eyes were straight, and his stupid expression was maintained for a full twenty seconds before he came back to his senses.

"Brother, you're too unauthentic. Such a superb Tianyi lotus, you hide it and don't let me know. To be honest, even if I tell me, I can't take it!

"Brother Cheng, I was also nervous before, and I didn't know if I could succeed, so I revealed it. Luckily, I was lucky enough to succeed unexpectedly. Zhang Fan lied.

"It's really a miracle to let Tianyi Lotus bloom two or three months earlier, I really don't know how you did it. ”

But no matter what, with a pot of rare treasures, Cheng Huayao could expect that they would be unique at the trade fair.

The last time the three seedlings Tianyi He appeared, they were shouted to the level of 10 million, and the Kelan Lord still did not sell it, which is equivalent to the sky-high price of 3 million per seedling.

Zhang Fan's pot, but the rarer five seedlings, is almost a unique product, and the whole world may be in this pot. What's more, it is still a superb Tianyi lotus that blooms two or three months in advance.

"Honestly, what other treasures do you have in your family?" Cheng Huayao was envious and curious.

"There are several kinds of orchids, you can go to my house another day to see. ”
