Chapter 241: Flower Plantation
It's always a little curious to see the unknown.
Han Xuan stood on the edge of the pit and said to Martinez: "Can you help me dig it out, don't break it." ”?
"What do you want it for, it's so slimy and disgusting inside, at first I thought it was a termite nest. ”
Martinez pressed the tip of the shovel against the root of the tree where it was connected, and with a slight force, it rolled down to the ground, carefully picking out the pit, "If you look at it from a distance, it may be harmful to the human body, it is not like a spores, as long as you don't touch it, it's fine." ”
Agreed, squatted on the ground, broke the branch and poked it, it trembled and shook a few times.
The surface is like the fat meat on the pig's body, which looks oily, and the "meat" inside is wrapped layer by layer, from dark red to bright yellow, and the color is divided into many layers.
The exterior is wrinkled and hard to the touch, and the inside is slimy, and a small piece has been broken by Martinez, and the whole can weigh twenty kilograms.
The eyes told Han Xuan that it was a plant, but the subconscious was desperately saying that it was not, that it could breathe like an animal!
Plants can also produce carbon dioxide, reason came to this conclusion.
The subconscious immediately vetoed again.
In a state of confusion, a small crane drove from a distance.
The crane was borrowed from the hot spring resort site, and a truck was accompanied by a truck to send the timber to the processing plant to be used in planks.
"Don't mess with it, it's dirty. Han's father came behind his son.
"Hmm. Han Xuan dropped the branch, looked at Martinez and said, "Where is the piece that was broken just now?"
Barton threw it with a shovel and rolled it on the ground a few times, staining it with a lot of blades of grass.
Han Xuan walked to the car and brought his father's water cup, poured it clean and put it in, ignoring his father's wide eyes, and said to him, "There is also this one on the ground." It's too heavy for me to move, so help me move it to the car. ”
“…… Pick up all the rubbish, John, do you have any gloves?"
"There is a pair in the car, and you can see it when you open the trunk. John turned and replied, handing the chainsaw to Martinez. Then the shrill sound rang out again.
More than ten minutes later.
The workers tied the roots of the tree and hung it up, the color was dark red, and the appearance was quite peculiar.
Loaded into the truck with the pine tree trunks, Han Xuan and his father got into the Humvee and drove behind it in the direction of Augusta.
It was close to noon, and hundreds of cows were staying together on the side of the road.
Seeing his son open the water cup from time to time, Han's father smiled: "It should be some kind of parasitic fungus, the same as the black truffle that Lewis trumpeted." ”
"It doesn't feel like it, is Professor Andrew's number still there? I want to send it to Montana State University. Let him help with the test in the lab, and he came out in the morning without his phone, what about yours?"
"I didn't bring it either, so don't be busy just yet, help me figure out what the treehouse will look like. ”
"Mr. Jensen wasn't in the resort, let him design it. ”
"Yes, there is a construction team there, and they built the wooden houses next to the hot springs, and the technology must be good......
The town of Augusta is exceptionally deserted today.
There weren't many people in the first place. Those who have nothing to do at home go to work in the morning to work at the snowy mountain pasture. Even more invisible.
"If we continue like this, the town of Augusta will be occupied by our family. ”
"That's good, there is a town in the Broken-B ranch, except for the residents' houses, the rest of the land is all owned by the Moore brothers, and half of the shops in the town are ranched, and they also take turns as the mayor......"
Talking to the suburbs. The so-called suburbs are nothing more than a lumber processing factory a little further from the town.
The nearby timber resources are abundant, and a part of the timber is allowed to be harvested reasonably every year, but it is not yet in season, and it is necessary to wait for winter.
So the processing plant is now shut down. The door was closed, and no one answered the knock for a long time.
Asked his neighbor, the owner of a flower planting base, said that he went to play cards, the employees were on vacation, recognized Han's father, enthusiastically helped to call him, and said with a smile: "I'll be back soon, about ten minutes." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond. Father Han looked sideways at the garden, pointed to the door of the greenhouse, and said, "Can I go in?" I want to buy a few pots of flowers to put at home. ”
"Of course, please come in, I still have a headache that you have to open a mine, and the cars pass by every day and it is noisy, but now it's really good, they are worthless, pick a few pots and take them away." Raymond said enthusiastically.
"How can I do it, I have also planted flowers, lavender, it takes time to take care of it, this line of money is really hard to make, it is much more troublesome than the ranch. ”
"I've heard of the lavender fields in the snowy mountain pastures, but I haven't had a chance to see it, I once traveled to Provence, France, where every family grows lavender, and I can still remember the beautiful scenery in summer after fifteen years.
In recent years, there has been a great demand for flowers in the city, and the business is very good, I plan to expand the scale next year, Mr. Han, you seem to have rented a piece of wasteland, right, do you still have it?"
"There should also be, there is a large area of wasteland next to the vegetable planting base, come and be a neighbor with me, and when the lavender blooms next year and go to the snowy mountain pasture to play, I think you must be very experienced in planting them. ”
"Haha, I've learned a little, the greenhouse has just been watered, walk from the middle, and it's troublesome to clean up the mud......"
Han Xuan finally walked in, the temperature inside was two or three degrees higher, a little stuffy, and the flower pots on the ground could not be seen at a glance, and there were many types.
The wooden sign says Moonflower, Phalaenopsis, Christmas Flower, Soaring Flower, Yellow Chrysanthemum, Bella Rose, Red Camellia, Mimosa, and many more.
The land in front of me is planted with a pinch of Christmas flowers, it is not their season to bloom, the flower bones have just appeared, and the color is red.
After moving a few pots and placing them in the aisle, Han's father said, "Son, how about putting them on the balcony?"
"Whatever you want, Mr. Raymond, do you have seeds for sale here with those sunflowers hanging on the wall?"
"Yes, Kim, get me some for him. Raymond smiled.
The young man named Jin who followed behind him nodded and walked out, quickly bringing a small bag...... Melon seeds?
Han Xuan grabbed it, it was really a melon seed.
Remembering that he had eaten them for so many years, he didn't even know that they were sunflower seeds, and said with a smile: "Dad, is it good to have a variety of things in the pasture, and it looks good when they bloom." ”
"All right, Mr. Raymond, about ten acres or so. Han's father half-hugged his son and smiled.
I went back to buy a few pots of vine-like flowers, went back and planted them on the fence, and saw through the vent that there was a willow and bamboo forest growing outside, and there were not many of them.
Han Xuan said that there was a space behind his home, and asked his father to buy it back.
Raymond was overjoyed, made a phone call, brought tens of thousands of dollars in business, and said: "It's better to plant these in the spring, and I'll help you send them to the snow-capped mountain ranch when the time comes."
"Who wants to process wood? Why is there only one car?Ah, Mr. Han, hello!" A man walked in from outside, saw the boy throw away the cigarette and put it out, and said respectfully: "Go cut it now, I don't know what furniture you want to make?"
I have the best artisans in the neighborhood here. ”
"It's going to be cut into planks, and I'm going to use them to build a treehouse...... (To be continued.) )
