The new book urgently needs everyone's support, and I hope that book friends can help collect and recommend.
The next day
Zhang's mother stayed at home to collect mushrooms, and her two younger sisters also reviewed at home.
Zhang Feng carried a basket on his back and a pair of big scissors on his back and walked towards the orchard.
On the way, he met Uncle Er Niu and joked: "Yo! How can Xiao Feng carry a big pair of scissors like Yue Laosan?"
Zhang Feng quickly reacted: "Is there a third Yue who is as handsome as me?"
"Hehe, you narcissistic fellow, by the way, are you going to prune the branches?" Uncle Er Niu smiled and asked.
"yes, the branches are too dense, ready to prune. ”
Some people may think that it is not good for fruit trees to grow luxuriantly?
Of course it's not good, the branches and leaves are too dense to rob the nutrients of the fruit, and it is not conducive to the photosynthesis and sugar accumulation of the fruit.
After saying a few words to Uncle Erniu, the two parted ways, Uncle Erniu wanted to go to the sinkhole to herd cattle, and Zhang Feng continued to walk towards the mountain.
Zhangjiawan is located in the southeast of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with undulating mountains, overlapping peaks, ravines and karst caves, which is a typical karst landform;
As the saying goes, 'three peaches, four plums, four cores and eleven', it has been a few years since the return of farmland, and the nectarines and April plums in Zhang Feng's house have begun to hang fruit on a large scale the year before last. Moreover, after the improved varieties, the fruit-bearing period is shorter, and the fruit quality is better;
The orchard at home is not big or small, about ten acres or so, in addition to peaches and plums, but also planted a small number of pears, mandarins, walnuts, loquats, varieties are very rich, since the beginning of the previous year to hang fruit, there are thousands of dollars of income every year, so the orchard is also an important economic pillar of the family;
Today, Zhang Feng's job is to prune and thin the fruits of the peach and plum, and in the past, the people in the village thought that the fruit trees were full of fruit, and that wasn't it a waste? Why should they pick off some of them, isn't it a waste?
Pruning and thinning fruits, it seems that a part of the fruit is wasted, many people will be a little reluctant, but this work is very important, because the inherent nutrition of a fruit tree is limited, if there are too many fruits, it will cause malnutrition of the fruit, and it will be shriveled and thin after ripening, and the taste is not good.
For example, if a family can only earn 5,000 yuan a month, it may be difficult to feed four or five children, but if there are only one or two children, then it will be much easier, and the children can not only raise fat and fat, but also provide a better education;
Therefore, pruning and thinning fruits is to reduce the burden on the fruit trees, leaving an appropriate amount of fruit, so that the remaining fruits can get sufficient nutrition, so that the fruits can be big and delicious when they are ripe, and they can be sold at a good price;
As the saying goes, eating a trench grows a wisdom, and then everyone firmly remembers the importance of pruning and thinning fruits.
"Click"
When he came to the orchard, Zhang Feng took a big scissors, flew up and down, and constantly pruned the branches and leaves, one main branch, only the strongest two or three branches were kept, and the rest could be cut off;
The strong physical fitness makes Zhang Feng handy, and he was a little rusty at first, but the further he goes, the faster he goes, and the faster it is, it is amazingly fast, and if someone sees it, he will definitely shout demons!
A fruit tree can be pruned in less than two minutes, which is no longer possible for human beings, even the most skilled old farmers cannot have such a fast speed;
Thump!
Just when Zhang Feng was immersed in his work, a pheasant suddenly flew out of the side, which immediately caught Zhang Feng off guard, it was impossible to catch the pheasant, and the pheasant had flown away far away;
"The environment is really getting better...... seeing pheasants fly away, Zhang Feng couldn't help but sigh, in the past, the rocky desertification near the orchard was serious, and there was no room for pheasants to live at all, with the implementation of returning farmland to forest, pheasants and hares have gradually increased, especially in the last year or two, there are still some signs of flooding;
"Goo-goo...... Goo ......"
"Huh?" Zhang Feng listened to it and felt that it must be the sound of a pheasant, and it should be near him;
I had eaten pheasants a few times before, and the taste was still unforgettable, so Zhang Feng picked up a few mud balls and prepared to try to see if he could catch pheasants;
"Goo-Goo......
"The good guy is right here" After cultivating, Zhang Feng's senses became countless times more sensitive, and he soon found the trace of the pheasant;
So he picked up the mud ball and cautiously approached the pheasant...... Five, four, three......
Soon it was less than three meters away from the pheasant, and finally the pheasant still found the intruder, flapping his wings, wanting to escape, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Zhang Feng immediately threw out the detachment in his hand, and accurately hit the pheasant's wings, after the pheasant was hit, he did not dare to flap his wings and fell not far away;
"Haha, I didn't expect it to really work......" Seeing that he hit with one hit, Zhang Feng was immediately very happy, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to hit the pheasant, it seems that his eyesight and reaction have improved a lot, because even the best hunters are difficult to do;
It can only be said that Zhang Feng's physical fitness, eyesight and reaction are becoming more and more perverted, otherwise it would be impossible to catch pheasants in this way;
"Yes, yes, it's quite fat, it should be about three pounds. Zhang Feng was very satisfied when he mentioned the pheasants with bright feathers, because pheasants are generally smaller, and it is very rare to have three catties;
"Looks like there's another good dish today. "Maybe you don't have the strength to grasp it, and the pheasant has died after struggling for a while, which has become the ingredient for stewed pheasants with shiitake mushrooms;
After that pheasants came out a few more times,
However, Zhang Feng does not have the opportunity to shoot every time, because the speed of the pheasant is very fast, and it may fly out seven or eight meters in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Feng is not specifically here to hunt, so he shot twice after that, although there was a miss, but the success rate is already very high, and the success rate is estimated to be improved a lot in the future;
……
"A Chicken on the Left Hand"
"A Chicken in the Right Hand"
"Dude, I'm so happy today, I'm so happy!"
Accidentally hit two pheasants Zhang Feng was very happy, excited while working, he couldn't help humming, his ghost crying wolf howl voice, fortunately no one nearby heard it, otherwise it would be strange not to be scared to death.
From six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was bright, he went up the mountain and worked until twelve o'clock at noon, for more than five hours, Zhang Feng finally pruned all the fruit trees in the orchard, and picked some of the dense fruits.
"Ah...... It's finally time to call it a day!" After finishing the last bit of work, Zhang Feng stretched his waist, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the pruning of a new ten acres of fruit forest, at this time Zhang Feng's heart was full of infinite achievements, although the work was a little tiring, but it was extremely fulfilling.
