When I arrived in Qingtian Village, it seemed that many villagers learned that Zhang Fan would come over today, and they were watched by many people.

Zhao Yuqing's treatment in Zhangjiazhai yesterday, and Zhang Fan also enjoyed it in Qingtian Village today. Of course, this is a kind of onlooker, and there are constantly people who greet him, and he is also very familiar with Zhang Fan.

"Uncle Zhao, I remember that your family grows tomatoes, can you pick them?" asked Zhang Fan with a smile.

On the side is a middle-aged and elderly man with bronzed skin, some gray hair, and his actual age is about fifty years old. This old man's eldest daughter was married a few years ago, and his grandson can walk and talk. The youngest son is only two years old, younger than his grandson.

The first few babies were daughters, and this old man was unwilling! The incense of the Zhao family was cut off like this, and he died without the face to see his ancestors.

Originally, the village wanted to help him succeed a boy to him in others, so that he could pass on the lineage.

Unexpectedly, the old man's wife was over forty years old and still pregnant. This time I gave birth to a child, I heard that it was very dangerous, and almost adults and children couldn't save it.

Growing tomatoes will have a slightly longer production period than other leafy vegetables, and it will cost more to build a shelf, etc.

It can be said that in the entire Zhangjiazhai and Qingtian Village, only this old man Zhao is currently planting at home. Zhang Fan also went to his tomato field more than a month ago and did some guidance.

At that time, it was the period of tomato pruning, and Uncle Zhao didn't know much. Moreover, the old man was reluctant to cut off the good tomato branches. In his opinion, what a pity to cut off? Those branches will also bear some tomatoes, right? Wouldn't cutting them reduce yield?

Pruning, racking, vine tying: build a "herringbone" frame after the first ear of fruit and fruit. There are two main ways of pruning, one is to leave only the main trunk and remove all the side branches, which is called single-stem pruning.

The other is to leave the side branches under the first inflorescence in addition to the main stem, and remove all the other side branches, which is called double-stem pruning. No matter what kind of pruning method is used, it is necessary to pay attention to tying vines in time.

Zhang Fan also took a lot of saliva to make the old man reluctantly prune.

According to his speculation, the tomatoes should have been partially ripe recently.

Tomato fruit is nutritious and has a special flavor. It can be eaten raw, cooked, and processed with tomato paste. This vegetable can tolerate drought, but not waterlogging, and the soil requirements are not very strict, in order to obtain high yields, it is necessary to choose a deep soil layer, loose and fertile, and strong water and fertility retention.

In the eyes of some people, tomatoes should be classified as fruits, after all, they eat fruits.

Uncle Zhao suddenly showed a simple smile, and said gratefully: "Thank you Xiaofan, pruning was really important at that time." Now a lot of them are red. I picked some two days ago and went to Zhangjiazhai to evaluate them for the people at the acquisition station. ”

"People say, you can see that tomatoes are well pruned to produce tomatoes like that. I started picking yesterday and continue today. Five cents per catty, yesterday I earned several thousand!"

In fact, his family's tomatoes grew properly, each one was bigger than a fist, weighed more than half a catty, sweet and juicy, which made Manager Liang of the acquisition station full of praise.

His tomatoes can be picked almost every day, about 3,000 catties a day. Four or five thousand were credited in one day, and for the next week, it was about the same amount every day, which made Uncle Zhao very happy.

Those tomatoes weigh more than half a catty, and picking one is a dollar, how can you make Uncle Zhao unhappy? Those tomatoes are all pieces of RMB!

"Well, that's good. Planting tomatoes, there is not much competition for the time being, and the price is estimated to only rise this year or even tomorrow, and the planting area will have to be increased next year. Zhang Fan reminded him.

"Yes, yes! That's what I thought. The people at the acquisition station also encouraged me to be diverse, and I plan to add another five acres of land next year. "There was a shortage of manpower, and he thought about calling distant relatives to help.

Everyone didn't continue to bother Zhang Fan and them, Zhao Liu's family was waiting at home!

Zhang Fan is carrying a bamboo cage with two steers in it, which is a tradition of their Zhangjiazhai. The legs of the two steers are held by a red rope, which means to pair up.

At the door, Zhao Yuqing's mother hurriedly stepped forward to take over the bamboo cage gelding and said some auspicious words. Then, it was to talk to Zhang Fan's aunt about some things that were long and short in the family.

Zhao Liu talked to Huang Po about some matters, such as Zhao Yuqing's birthday, how to calculate the bride price, and so on.

In short, at this point, everyone will be awkward, and if there are any requirements, they will put forward them, and if they are not satisfied, they will discuss until they are satisfied.

Zhang Fan chatted with Mr. Zhao and them for a while, and in the Zhao family, Zhang Fan actually chatted with Mr. Zhao the most, and even he felt incredible.

But that's okay, the most capable of the Zhao family is Old Man Zhao, that is, Zhao Yuqing's grandfather. With his support, who has any opinions.

"Xiao Fan! You go and walk with my girl and talk! I don't need to talk to an old man. The old man laughed.

Their family is very satisfied with Zhang Fan's son-in-law (grandson-in-law), as the villagers said, that girl can marry Zhang Fan, and it can be regarded as the smoke from the ancestral tomb of their Zhao family.

Zhao Yuqing pulled Zhang Fan and walked out, it was too embarrassing at home, these people opened their mouths and closed their mouths about marriage, and they didn't care about the presence of the two parties at all.

"Remember to come back early for dinner and don't go out for too long. Zhao Yuqing's mother advised.

"Got it!"

When she went out, Zhao Yuqing saw them playing in Qingtian Village, and basically walked to the side of Bazhang Mountain, and also said to Zhang Fan: "Senior brother, how about we go to the Taoist temple to incense?"

Zhang Fan looked at the palm mountain in the distance, and it was estimated that it would take more than two hours to go back and forth! Especially if he wanted to climb the mountain, would he be scolded when he came back sweating?

However, seeing Zhao Yuqing's excited appearance, she followed her wishes.

Zhao Yuqing is not a superstitious person, but before getting married, she still wanted to go to the Taoist temple to incense and make a wish. It is a vision of a better future, and it does not involve superstition.

Zhang Fan and the others joined a small team of more than 10 people, who still carried flags, and some of them still had professional cameras around their necks.

Those people naturally knew Zhang Fan and welcomed Zhang Fan's joining.

"Landlord, take a few pictures, you two go over there, I see a good scenery there, pose. The person who took the picture said to Zhang Fan.

The scenery of Qingtian Village is indeed beautiful, in all directions, it is like a picture scroll, no wonder the travel agency attaches so much importance to it, and later added more than 5 million to invest in the development of tourism resources in Qingtian Village.

It is said that Qingtian Village plans to build a two-lane asphalt road exactly like Zhangjiazhai next year, and the tourism company will donate 500,000 yuan.

These tourists gradually got used to calling Zhang Fan as the landlord, and Zhang Fan didn't remember who shouted first. Anyway, tourists know that Zhang Fan is now as rich as the big landlords in ancient times.

Zhang Fan and Zhao Yuqing stood over, and the two of them made some gestures at random.

"I said landlord, can you not use scissor hands, it's too uninspiring!"

Zhang Fan smiled awkwardly, he really didn't take many pictures, didn't everyone do this?
