It was almost evening when Uncle Hua and the others sent the strawberry seedlings back. It was impossible to transplant the strawberries to the ground on the same day, so everyone helped to unload the strawberries and place them in the open space.

"It should be okay to stay here for the night, right?" asked the old village chief.

Many villagers watched and wanted to see what the strawberry seedlings looked like, and heard that a total of 30,000 yuan was spent.

"Out of the way!"

Li Quan, Zhang Fugui and their families discussed it, and they will all go to Zhang Fan's side tomorrow to help, and learn how to plant by the way, after all, everyone has no experience.

The next day, everyone helped to move some of the strawberry seedlings to the small valley. For the rest, move to a cool place. Zhang Fan also hired about ten village women to help.

Strawberry seedling planting is not a technical job, as long as you tell the villagers the plant spacing, how deep they need to bury, etc., they will soon be handy, more skilled than Zhang Fan.

Before planting, strawberry seedlings should be sorted out as necessary, large and small seedlings should be separated, strong seedlings should be left to eliminate weak seedlings and diseased seedlings, and each seedling should retain 3-4 healthy and disease-free leaves, and the rest should be cut off, leaving only a piece of petioles.

When planting, two rows are planted on each ridge, "triangular" planting, with a row spacing of 20 to 30 centimeters and a plant spacing of between 15 and 25 centimeters. The depth is appropriate, the depth is not buried, and the roots are not exposed.

After teaching this, Zhang Fan relaxed. He didn't let those village women work in vain, and he was also paid 100 yuan a day.

There is income, everyone is more active and serious. The women are ingenious and often more efficient than Zhang Fan. It seems that it will not take a day to plant.

"Don't be busy with me, you guys should also do your own! What you just said, should you remember everything?" Zhang Fan said to Li Quan.

was also present, as well as Wang Ling. Her family's land is still being made, and Ye Tiansheng, who rarely helps the family, rarely drives cattle to plow the land, and does not dare to relax at all, and her old parents are also helping to clean up.

Seeing that Zhang Fan had invited so many people to help, Li Quan and the others were not polite, and they were also anxious.

After most of the day, the strawberry seedlings were finally planted in the land. The rest is enough for Wang Ling's family to plant more than one acre. Originally, Wang Ling wanted to give 4,000 to Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan didn't accept it.

"You kid will stay at home to help in the future, don't always be idle!" Zhang Fan said to Ye Tiansheng.

Now that he's back, he won't let that kid continue to mess around like he used to. As long as you follow in his footsteps and don't make a fortune, at least life won't be too bad.

Ye Tiansheng did not refute, there are only a handful of people in the village who can instruct him, and Brother Fan is counted as one.

Wang Ling was very happy to see this. Although the brother-in-law has a very bad attitude towards her, she still sees him as her younger brother, especially the only seedling in the family, and still hopes that he will have some talent.

"Is it really okay not to use pesticides?" Wang Ling worried.

She couldn't help but check the information, strawberries are easy to get sick, and pest prevention is very important.

Like what leaf spot, powdery mildew, gray mold, etc., how can it be guaranteed without medicine?

In terms of pests, the main ones are nematodes. The insect is harmful to the whole life of strawberries, and the symptoms of damage are most obvious before and after flowering. Dissemination depends on seedlings and soil. Strawberry nematodes are divided into bud nematodes and root nematodes, and strawberry nematodes are also vectors for virus transmission.

"The soil of your home has not been exposed to the sun, and it is indeed a certain risk to be planted directly, so you need to keep an eye on it. Once a diseased plant is found, it is best to pull it out in time. Zhang Fan said to her.

Wang Ling gently wiped the dense sweat on her forehead and stroked her hair, which was quite amorous, so that Zhang Fan couldn't help but look at it twice.

She glanced at the large patch of strawberries for a moment, and if there were no accidents, maybe there would be a good harvest in a few months, and it would also ease the burden on the family.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight!"

The Ye family tried their best to invite Zhang Fan to their home for dinner, but because the uncle and aunt at home also prepared dinner, Zhang Fan had to decline, saying that he would talk about it later.

Zhang Fan also instructed them to water once in the morning and evening within a week, as well as other matters that should be paid attention to.

In addition, he also prepared some medicinal liquids and handed them to each family, so that they could pour them with water at a certain rate. The so-called liquid medicine was just a disguise, but it was actually the spiritual water he got out of the pure bottle space.

At home, the aunt is counting the chickens in the chicken coop over and over again.

No matter how she counted, she was still missing one, and she was strange. Today, they are all busy, and they have not released the chickens and ducks, how can there be less?

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Zhang Fan asked curiously. He found that his aunt had ordered the chickens and ducks back and forth several times.

"We have eight steers in our house, and now there are only seven left, strange!

Besides, chickens and ducks raised in the countryside are usually released to look for food, and when it is almost evening, they will find them home.

Zhang Fan leaned over and counted it carefully, and there was really one missing. Soon, he saw some blood stains in the corners, and some chicken feathers on the ground. Zhang Fan couldn't help but open the door of the chicken coop, ignoring the all over the ground, and got in.

"Is there a chicken thief?" the aunt's face changed, and she clearly saw bloodstains.

Zhang Fan nodded: "It seems that it shouldn't be a person." ”

If it were a human being, it wouldn't have been taken with just one. Moreover, when strangers enter the village, the villagers will be wary, and it is not so easy to steal chickens in broad daylight.

He estimated that some beast had bitten it, and the beast should not be too small to drag a gelding of that size away.

Zhang Fan thought for a while, the beasts in the mountains that might be chicken thieves: foxes, weasels, weasel badgers, cats, leopards, and so on.

The most likely ones are foxes and lynxes, which are often seen in the mountains near them. Weasels also steal chickens to eat, but there are few in the south, at least Zhang Fan has never seen a weasel.

"It's cunning! and knows how to open and close doors. Zhang Fan couldn't help but say.

He couldn't tell for a moment what it was to steal chickens. However, once you come, there is usually a second time, and you have to pay attention to the embankment.

In addition, Zhang Fan also noticed that the big in the chicken coop was quite irritable.

This is the only rooster in their family, and it looks majestic, and a big fiery red cockscomb swears that it is not to be messed with, and the children all walk around when they see it. Especially Zhang Fan has fed them spiritual water in the past few days, and he seems even more violent.

The big rooster circled around Zhang Fan and kept crowing, as if he was complaining angrily. It's a pity that Zhang Fan can't understand the beast language.

"Tell me, I don't understand either. Isn't it usually very majestic? A chicken thief can't handle it?" Zhang Fan flicked his hand and pushed the big rooster aside.

If you can't think of any results, you can only take precautions and not let some "bandits" succeed again.

After the meal, the moon shone brightly at night, and the sound of frogs came from the fields.
