8. Chapter VIII
Walking out of the space, Zeng Tong walked towards the area where flowers were sold. Today, I still have to find materials for the scaffold, some flowers are also climbing vines, and there should be materials for themselves.
It was a short walk to the plant area. This area mainly sells potted plants, flowers and plants, and many stores also sell flower pots, soil and nutritional fertilizers. Zeng Tong mainly looked at the material store, and not long after leaving, he saw some flower pots and shelves piled up in front of a store, which should have more materials.
"Hello, do you have any materials to build a bracket?" Zeng Tong asked the people inside at the door.
"Yes, what material do you want?"
"What are the materials? I don't know much about these, so I just build a scaffold for melons and fruits. ”
"Fruits and vegetables are usually just like this, it's lightweight, and it's easy to disassemble. The clerk introduced Zeng Tong to a kind of iron bar holder wrapped with glue, "There are different lengths, 50 centimeters, 1 meter, and 1.5 meters, and the price is also different, depending on which one you need." ”
"Cucumber and bitter gourd or something, how long is it appropriate?" Zeng Tong asked.
"If you plant it in a pot, 1 meter is enough, and it's better to grow it in the ground. ”
"Then it's one meter five, how to calculate the price?"
"1.5 meters ......"
Listening to the introduction of the clerk, Zeng Tong finally decided to ask for 20 1.5 meters of bracket materials.
After paying the money and holding the wrapped materials, Zeng Tong walked out of the store.
As I walked out of the plant area, I saw some plants without pots piled up on the road next to me, herbaceous shrubs, all of which looked wilted because no one took care of them. Zeng Tong thought about the improvement of plants in the space, maybe he could try to plant some flowers and plants, and it would be better to see if he couldn't improve the planting.
In the past, I picked up some that seemed to have intact roots, and I picked up a few of those I didn't know, and quickly walked away. Carrying the flowers and plants and bracket materials in his hand, he still turned to the toilet cubicle, and put the things in his hand into the space first, Zeng Tong thought about it and had nothing else to buy for the time being, so he was ready to go home.
It was noon when he got home, Zeng Tong handed the bag with vegetables to Zeng's mother, closed the door after saying hello, and went into the space to deal with the things he bought today.
The vines on the cucumber side have grown, so let's build a scaffold first, 20 scaffolds, and it will be set up after a while. Not long after setting up the shelf, Zeng Tong saw that some of the tendrils that were touching the bracket had begun to slowly wrap up.
Among the flowers and plants that Zeng Tong picked up, there was a rhododendron, which Zeng Tong also had in his school, and was planted along the path as an ornamental shrub. The rest, some of which have broken leaves, and some of which are wilted and soft due to lack of water, are all flowers and plants that Zeng Tong didn't know much. When he was thinking about where to plant these, Zeng Tong looked around and found that there was no extra space in the vegetable field.
"There's nowhere to go, so ...... Try it on the edge?"
Zeng Tong muttered to himself, anyway, these are all picked up, just find a place to plant them, live if you can, and don't feel distressed if you can't live.
After making up his mind, Zeng Tong first planted the azaleas near the dog house next to the field, and planted some other flowers and plants separately on the edge of the adjacent ridge.
After watering the newly planted plants, Zeng Tong looked at the vegetable field in the northeast corner, there were more than 100 cabbages on the ground, 5 pepper trees, and about 200 garlic heads.
After the last observation, a cabbage and a pepper that were deliberately left behind did not continue to evaporate water, which proves that the space does have a preservation function, so that it is not afraid of concentrated and large harvests.
But from the vegetable field to the thatched hut, it is not close, there is still a distance, and now the space is all dependent on Zeng Tong to work alone, which is not a small amount of labor. I had to go to the farmer's market to find tools, and just two days later, I asked the truck to deliver the shelves and other things to the farmer's market, and then I could go back and see it.
At lunchtime, Zeng Tong and his mother chatted while eating.
"When I saw your grandmother Wang in the morning, we talked about cabbage again. She said that her little grandson doesn't like to eat greens, and the last time I heard me say that there is this new variety of cabbage, I have been paying attention to it for the past 2 days, but I haven't found the stall you said. I saw that she was worried, so I gave her a cabbage and asked your grandmother Wang to try it for her grandson. ”
"Send it, I'll buy it after we finish eating. Zeng Tong didn't care.
"Well, if their little grandson loves to eat, I guess you'll have to buy more at a time in the future. ”
"Okay, I'll go grocery shopping and take our small trailer out, I can load a lot more, and save effort." Zeng Tong said to his mother with a smile.
"Yes, with the trailer, don't be tired of my girl like last time. Here, eat more. Zeng's mother gave Zeng Tong chopsticks and cabbage.
"It's okay, you like to eat, let me make two more trips. ”
"Knowing you're good, eat quickly. Zeng's mother smiled and urged Zeng Tong to eat.
After lunch, Zeng Tong went back to the room and thought that the quality of the space dishes is good, and it will definitely become more and more popular in the future. It's okay to eat less at home now, but if the demand is high in the future, only I can find this kind of dish, which will definitely make people suspicious. It seems that we have to find a way to find a way for these space dishes.
I can't think of anything too good to pay attention to for a while, Zeng Tong is not in a hurry, there is a lot of time in the space, and you can go in at night and think slowly.
In the afternoon, Zeng Tong made plans in the room, according to the current function of the space, planned the planting and breeding in the future, and many things were sorted out, and it would be much smoother to do in the future.
"You have to prepare the dishes at home and Grandma Wang, and the plants in the space...... Guadi ...... ...... cabbage harvested," Zeng Tong said to himself while writing in his notebook.
"It seems that there are a lot of things to do next......" Looking at what was written in the notebook, Zeng Tong stretched his waist.
After entering the space again, Zeng Tong looked at the vegetable patch and decided to collect the garlic first, and deliver it to the shelves the day after tomorrow, not afraid that there would be no place to store it.
Zeng Tong put on gloves and went to the field to start pulling garlic. The second time I pulled the garlic, because the amount was more than the first time, the palm of my hand, which had not done much farm work, was ground red. Later, Zeng Tong found a pair of gloves at home and put them in the space, which was prepared for this big harvest.
Don't look at the 200 or so heads of garlic, bend down and pull them up one by one, and then put them in a pile, Zeng Tong didn't finish pulling it out for almost half an hour, and only half of the amount was completed, Zeng Tong felt that his waist was almost not his own. Just now I was going to pull it all out tonight, I really don't know if I don't do it, no wonder they all say that the farmer uncle is hard, this amount of labor is not something that ordinary people can do.
Zeng Tong straightened up, looked at the garlic on the ground, and decided to accept these for the time being, if he pulled them all at once, it is estimated that Zeng Tong will be able to get up the next day.
Bring all the plucked garlic to the ground in front of the hut, this time there are more of them, and the dog roof is not enough, so let's put it on the ground to dry first. Anyway, when it's time to eat, you have to remove the outer layer of the coat, even if there is a little sand on it, it doesn't matter.
