Chapter 48 Transportation of Planting Soil
Lin Zeng designed several planters for the office of the sixth grade of Qing Yi Elementary School. The planter is built with red brick cement and decorated with plain and elegant tiles.
These planters, built along the walls, resemble four sinks. It's just that instead of running water, it's pouring dirt and planting plants. At this point, the plants had not yet been planted, and the room looked slightly eerie.
Lin Zeng took Master Zhang's uncle and nephew back to his nursery. They came here to carry the soil needed for planting.
Lin Zeng prepared a lot of chemical fiber woven bags for chemical fertilizers. A plot of land was selected in the corner of the nursery and was ready to be transported to a small planting area.
Master Zhang's nephew picked up a shovel and quickly packed the soil on the ground into a woven bag. Master Zhang held hands next to him, and after the bag was filled, Master Zhang tied it with a rope and carried the bag to a small transport pickup.
Lin Zeng didn't expect that this Master Zhang was so reliable, just by telling him, he would find a fellow villager in Sichuan Province, borrow a pickup truck, and directly drive the pickup truck by his nephew to Lin Zeng's nursery to load soil.
After packing more than 20 bags, Lin Zeng estimated that it should be enough for this office before they stopped what they were doing.
Lin Zeng went to the house to cut some fruit for them, but Master Zhang hurriedly refused, only saying that he could take some hot water and fill the big kettle jar for himself and his nephew.
Master Zhang and his nephew had just stepped into the house and were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them. He opened his mouth and stared at the green plants on the walls on the first floor, half speechless.
Master Zhang's nephew's reaction was even more intense, he let out a few "wows" in amazement, his eyes widened, he took a few steps closer, stared at a half-red tomato on the wall in amazement, and looked at it for a long time before he asked stupidly, "Is this true?"
"yes," Lin Zeng was amused by their reactions. He didn't expect that the vigorous growth of indoor plants would bring such a big shock to ordinary people, "This is the indoor tomato I grow, and the indoor vegetables I grow, you can eat." β
Master Zhang only came to his senses at this time, and he also approached the wall, cautiously leaning his head closer, and observing the small yellow flower of a vine red jade tomato. It felt like it was really a real flower, so I reached out and gently tapped the petals, touching the real touch, and my face was full of amazement.
"How did this tomato climb up to the wall?" asked Master Zhang without blinking, very puzzled. Before he left his hometown, he was also a good farmer, and he had lived for half his life, but he had never seen such a magnificent tomato.
"This is a vine red jade tomato that can be grown indoors and can be grown along the walls. Lin Zeng explained. Although the vine red jade tomato is extremely popular in the circle of vegetable friends of the Urban Farm Forum, it has not reached the well-known Cheng dΓΉ. Master Zhang is busy with his livelihood all day long, and he can't go online to look at his mobile phone and play on the computer, so he naturally doesn't know.
"That's good. Master Zhang's eyes lit up, staring at the tomatoes planted on the side of the wall, and praised again and again.
Lin Zeng saw that Master Zhang and his nephew were still observing the vine tomatoes with great interest, so he went to the second floor, boiled a pot of water for them, cut a melon, and two bottles of soda, and took them downstairs.
"Come, Master Zhang, take a bite of melon. Lin Zeng greeted.
The uncle and nephew reluctantly looked away from the tomato, and when they saw the melon handed by Lin Zeng, Master Zhang waved his hand again and again, shook his head and said, "Don't want it, we won't eat it." β
"You're welcome, try it. Lin Zeng cut the melon, but he didn't expect that Master Zhang's uncle and nephew would not eat it, but only filled the plastic kettle he carried with him with boiling water, and he had to transport the soil away immediately.
Lin Zeng had no choice but to put down the melon. Some people's personalities are like this, for fear of taking advantage of others and causing trouble to others, which is especially common among the older generation. Although it seems that their words and deeds are a little pedantic, many of these people are often very trustworthy people.
Lin Zeng came back with the pickup, and the little electric donkey was still in the Qingyi small campus, so he now has to follow the pickup back to school.
Before getting into the car, Lin Zeng thought about it, took out two vine red jade tomato planting balls, and put them in his bag.
Master Zhang's nephew was silent and drove steadily in the driver's seat, while Master Zhang sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Lin Zeng, who was sitting in the back seat.
It's just that due to the influence of the difference in accent, Lin Zeng couldn't hear three or four of the ten sentences that Master Zhang said clearly.
Lin Zeng chatted with him for a while, took out the two tomato planting balls, handed them to Master Zhang, and said, "This is the tomato seedlings planted in my room, Master Zhang, you can take them back and plant them." β
Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, and said eagerly: "Don't don't, how can I accept it, don't don't." β
"Take it. "The planting bulbs of the red jade tomato, with a transparent protective film, wrapping some fresh seedlings, look very tall. But this actual value, for Lin Zeng, is a transaction without capital.
"Don't, little brother, you can take it back, I can't take it casually, you want to sell it, I can't take yours." When Master Zhang was in the nursery, he had already seen the plastic bag in the corner of the wall filled with this kind of planting ball, and after a little thought, he knew that Lin Zeng definitely did not keep it for himself.
"Uncle, I'll give the boss money, let's buy two. Master Zhang's nephew, who was almost silent, suddenly spoke.
Lin Zeng originally wanted to give them tomato seedlings, but he didn't expect that the uncle and nephew were stubborn, first they didn't accept it, and then they had to give money.
Lin Zeng had no choice but to accept ten yuan from them.
The pickup truck drove into the campus, and the three got out of the car, and more than 20 bags of planting soil were put in place, and the three of them had to make two or three trips back and forth.
Although Lin Zeng spent money to hire Master Zhang, he didn't stand still, he picked up two bags of dirt and strode up the stairs.
Master Zhang and his nephew took out two old and damaged overalls from the car, draped them on their shoulders, and then neatly carried three bags of planting soil each, and quickly kept up with Lin Zeng's pace.
With two bags of soil, Lin Zeng did not continue to carry it downstairs, he took out the folding scissors on the keychain he carried, opened the bag, and poured the planting soil into the planter.
Master Zhang's uncle and nephew went back and forth several times, and finally finished moving the planting soil on the car. Lin Zeng also filled the planter with eight points full of planting soil.
However, Lin Zeng brought a lot of soil, and in the end there were three bags left. It just so happened that these soils were still useful, and Lin Zeng piled them up in the corners.
After a busy time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Zeng settled the wages of the two days to Master Zhang's uncle and nephew. Master Zhang smiled and thanked him again and again, and his nephew's eyes also showed joy.
In the end, Lin Zeng left Master Zhang's mobile phone number, promising that next time there are workers in need, he will definitely be the first to contact them.
Master Zhang's uncle and nephew, seeing that the matter was over and Lin Zeng was not assigned alive, said goodbye and left.
Lin Zeng was alone, alone in the empty office on the sixth floor, carefully pondering the planting plan behind.
He casually found a clean place to sit down, took out his laptop, and partitioned the office on the notebook first. Four walls, ceiling, floor, this is the division of the large area.
Two of the four walls are whole walls, and there is nothing else on the wall. There is also a row of windows and doors on one side, and the last side faces the street outside.
When Lin Zeng designed, he would plant different plants according to different situations to make the indoor environment more aesthetically pleasing.
It took him about an hour to stop writing, sometimes to ponder, sometimes to write quickly, and finally finalized the final plan.
He was about to get up and leave the school when suddenly a loud scolding came from outside the office.
"Who are you, what's going on in this office?"
