Chapter 82: The Old Lychee Tree
Send a message to Jiang Hua about your idea and ask her if she can complete it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jiang Hua waited for a while before sending him a picture with a message attached.
"Is that what it looks like?"
This is a wood-colored crib, which is oval in shape and simple and atmospheric. It looks a little longer than the crib in a regular store, and the bed fence does not enclose the whole bed, but there is an opening on the side, presumably to make it easier for the mother to get up at night to take care of the baby.
Looking closely at the photos, I found that the fence of the crib has shallow moire carvings, and the concise and bright patterns make this small bed more lively and light.
It seems that this crib is not the product of the machine's mass production.
Jiang Hua's subsequent news also confirmed Lin Zeng's speculation.
"This is a crib I helped my colleague make last summer, and she still uses it for her baby, and she feels pretty good. But why would you carve a crib the size of a fist? It doesn't seem to make much sense. ”
Well, for ordinary people, it doesn't mean much. But the carving on the milk fruit is different, the milk fruit will grow up, and when the milk fruit matures and grows, it is a living bed.
Lin Zeng naturally wouldn't tell the truth about these at this time, and before he saw the real thing, this strange plant would only be regarded as a fantasy.
"According to the model of this bed, can you carve it?" Lin Zeng then asked.
"There should be no problem, I'll give it a try. "Jiang painting should be down. Naturally, she didn't know that she started with this work and became the first milk fruit carver on earth. After completing the carving of this crib, she exploded with a strong passion for the carving of milk fruit. She has also become Lin Zeng's exclusive milk fruit carver, and her subordinates have carved many world-famous milk fruit carving works.
Lin Zeng inquired about the manual cost of Jiang painting's carving, and Jiang Hua could not calculate the fee for the time being, so he could only say that the cost was between 500 and 1,000 yuan depending on the time of carving.
made an appointment with her to send her the materials tomorrow, and Lin Zeng ended the conversation with Jiang Hua.

Master Zhang's uncle and nephew were busy until it was dark, and then they finished today's work and left the nursery. They refused Lin Zeng's food and drove home directly in a small truck.
The planting trough on the roof has not yet been built, and the finishing touches will be carried out tomorrow.
After Master Zhang left, Lin Zeng took a look around the farm. Outside the farm, there is a low and small barren mountain, and the previous owner of this land often excavated the planting soil for flowers and bonsai from the small barren mountain, and Lin Zeng also planned to dig from here.
If it was only a small area of planting, Lin Zeng could hire Master Zhang's uncle and nephew to do it. But if later, get a large area of the sky garden design project. He needed to find more specialized tools to dig and transport the soil.
Lin Zeng went around the field, selected a few vine tomatoes and vegetable seedlings, and put them into the green film ball, in addition to these, he also took an indoor vine, indoor grapes that can grow and bear fruit in all seasons, presumably for Jiang Hua, who loves to plant, these special plants are the best gifts.
At night, Lin Zeng had nothing to do, and continued to refine the plants needed for the hanging garden.
It's his nightlife.
When he got up early the next morning, Liu Shan transported the cordyceps that had arrived before to the nursery, and by the way, he brought Lin Zeng two large fritters and a bowl of packaged pot side batter.
Dipping in soy sauce, nibbling on the fritters, and drinking the pot side batter, this breakfast starts the day, which is really very comfortable.
When Lin Zeng was eating, Liu Shan went to count the planting balls as usual.
Three employees, each with their own characteristics. Relatively speaking, Lin Zeng knew Liu Shan better.
Although the education level is not high, he is flexible, not slippery, proactive, efficient, and agile.
As the number of planting balls increased each time, Liu Shan gave up picking by hand, and he got a bucket out of nowhere to get rid of the handle on the bucket. Just like a dustpan, when you shovel into a bag full of planting balls, there are about seven or eight planting balls in the bucket.
In this way, the work of counting the planting balls is twice as efficient.
The two of them worked together to bagged each of the five planting balls in less than half an hour. Liu Shan drove an electric tricycle with a planting ball and left the nursery, and Lin Zeng also took a few milk seeds to Jianghua's farm.
Jiang Hua's farm is not too far from Lin Zeng's nursery. This area is already a village in Wuli District, Qinghe City, the air is fresh, there are not many pedestrians on the road, the road is smooth, Lin Zeng's electric car soared out of a speed of nearly 60 kilometers per hour, and in less than 15 minutes, he saw the very characteristic villa of Jianghua Farm.
Lin Zeng didn't call Jiang Hua because he had already seen a familiar figure picking lychees on the lychee tree outside the villa.
Jiang Hua sat on the branch of the lychee tree, condescending, with a wide line of sight, and saw Lin Zeng's electric car from a distance. Her eyes seemed to be good, and she waved at Lin Zeng from the tree.
"Harvest lychees today?" Lin Zeng parked the car and ran under the lychee tree, only to find that the dense foliage covered all the figures of Jiang Hua, "Recently, the lychees have been in the next season." ”
A while ago, lychees were in season, sweet and cheap, but at this time, lychees were out of season. These lychee trees seem to be in the fruiting period, and the trees are full of fruits, growing in clusters on the big trees, which is endearing.
"These lychees are more than 50 years old varieties in Qinghe City, with a sweet taste and extremely late ripening," Jiang Hua poked his head out from between the branches, startling Lin Zeng. She was about six or seven meters above the ground, and Lin Zeng was afraid that the soles of her feet would slip.
"Be careful. Lin Zeng watched her climb from one tree trunk to another with agility, his heart hung in the air, and he couldn't help but shout.
"It's okay," Jiang Hua followed the branch to a three-pronged branch, turned around, and climbed down from the trunk of the lychee tree, which neither of them could embrace. It turned out that a soft ladder hung down from the trunk of the tree, making it easy to climb up and down the tree. Jiang Hua carried a bamboo basket behind him, and the bamboo basket contained half a basket of lychees, as well as some lychee leaves. ”
"This lychee tree is so big. Seeing Jiang Hua's feet on the ground, Lin Zeng was relieved, and he looked up at the lychee tree that blocked a large area of sunlight.
"Yes, this is a very old variety, not the current dwarf seedling, this one is still relatively short, only about ten meters, and the farthest one, almost fifteen meters high. Jiang Huacong unloaded the bamboo basket behind her back, she waved her hand, refused Lin Zeng's help, and instead took out a handful of lychees and handed them to Lin Zeng, "Taste the fresh lychees that have just been picked from the branches." ”
Lin Zeng peeled off the shell of the lychee and saw the crystal clear lychee flesh inside. This kind of lychee has a soft shell, thinner than the lychee skin on the market, and has abundant juice, and when you bite into it, the lychee aroma is particularly strong, but it is not extremely sweet, but it is just the right amount of sweetness.
"It's delicious, it's not the same as what is sold outside. Lin Zeng spit out a very small kernel, and decided to eat another one.
"This lychee variety is actually very good, but unfortunately the tree is too big, difficult to pick, and the yield is not high, and more importantly, the skin is thin and juicy, and it is easy to spoil. So in the field of commodity markets, it is slowly being eliminated. There are 10 lychee trees here, which were going to be cut down five years ago, and I bought them for 5,000 yuan. Now that this year has come, the lychees can't be eaten. Jiang Hua poured the lychees in the basket into a plastic basket at the bottom of the tree.
Lin Zeng saw that under this lychee tree, nearly ten plastic baskets were placed. Each one is filled with red lychee fruit. The top is covered with a thick layer of lychee leaves.
"So much?" Lin Zeng was born in the north, and almost never ate lychees in the twenty years before he went to college in Qinghe City, for him, this is an extremely expensive fruit, and lychees are sold in the north, which are more than ten yuan or even dozens of yuan per catty. When he arrived in Qinghe City, Lin Zeng learned that when it was the peak season of lychees, ten yuan could buy three catties of lychees.
"This is a unit that asked me for a group purchase. Wait a minute, they'll come and pick it up. Jiang Hua easily picked up a basket of lychees, put them on a scale under the lychee tree, and began to weigh them, "They will come soon, after handing over to them, I will see how your things are carved." ”
"I'm not in a hurry," Lin Zeng put down the lychee in his hand and helped Jiang Hua weigh it. "Where's your Po?"
I didn't see the golden retriever, Lin Zeng asked curiously.
"It was very hot and the little one ran to take a shower by himself. Jiang Hua made up a handful of lychees for a basket of lychees, exactly twenty catties.
When they finished weighing seven baskets of lychees, there was a loud car horn on the road next to them.
Two small cars were parked on the side of the road. A few young men in casual clothes got out of the car, looking left and right.
