Chapter 91: A thief
After planting all the tree species, Li Yuan also planted the orchids he brought in by the spring. Although the orchid is almost completely dead at the moment, Li Yuan believes that as long as it can be planted in the peach pit space, the orchid will soon come back to life.
"If only I could live." Li Yuan muttered to himself while watering the orchids: "I heard that a pot of high-grade orchids can be worth millions, so don't waste this opportunity, let's wait and see!" ”
At present, Li Yuan has done everything he can, and the next thing is to wait patiently for the seeds to germinate. Lao Liao's friend also sent a sowing instruction with the seeds, according to which Hainan Huanghuali will take at least half a month to germinate, while the small-leaved red sandalwood will take longer to germinate.
However, Li Yuan believes that if the seeds are scattered in the peach pit space, and the soil and water used are also the "best" in the space, the germination time of these tree species should be greatly advanced. It turned out that Li Yuan's speculation was correct, and the next day he just entered the peach pit space and found that both trees had sprouted!
"Oh my boy, that's fast!" Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh, looking at the tender green seedlings with joy on his face, his pupils were about to turn square.
The fact that the tree species can germinate so quickly shows that the peach pit space is very suitable for the growth of these two trees. In fact, Li Yuan seriously doubted that the peach pit space could be suitable for the growth of all plants, after all, this was originally a magical place, and Li Yuan would not feel strange if anything happened.
Although it was only one night, both saplings were already quite tall. The Hai-Nanhuanghua pear seedlings are more than five inches tall and have grown three or four pinnate compound leaves. The growth rate of the small-leaved red sandalwood is slightly slower, but it is also about two inches tall.
Yesterday, Li Yuan planted six or seven of each kind of trees, and now they are all sprouting, and they are a little crowded in the flower pots. In order for these saplings to grow better, they must be transplanted to the grass of the peach pit space.
Now Li Yuan is also the owner of the vegetable base, although he is not very good at farm work, but transplanting a few saplings is not difficult for him. Li Yuan picked up the shovel prepared in advance, and dug more than a dozen small soil pits far away from the peach tree in three strokes and five by two. Li Yuan deliberately shortened the distance between each pit to prevent the saplings from interfering with each other and affecting the growth rate when they grew up.
Next, Li Yuan planted the saplings in the soil pit, and then brought spring water to irrigate them. After a lot of work, I finally planted these saplings.
Although these saplings are only up to Li Yuan's ankles now, they are undoubtedly cash cows in his eyes. Looking at the saplings that were short but green and lovely, and all of them were very energetic, Li Yuan couldn't help but be very satisfied.
If these saplings are in the peach pit space, and they have the same fast growth rate as ginseng, it will take less than two years to become adults. And this finished material is not as thick as a wrist, and it can barely be used as a bracelet. Rather, it grows into hundreds of years of old material, the kind of finished material that can be used to make furniture.
Li Yuan roughly calculated, with the current price of these two kinds of wood as a reference, if the growth rate of these saplings is indeed that fast, it will be worth at least several million in two years. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and muttered to himself: "Grow, grow, when you grow up, you can go to the provincial city to buy a house!" ”
Although there is a lot of hope for these saplings, it will be a matter of time before I can make money from them. For the current Li Yuan, the main source of money is naturally in the vegetable base. So he was ready to leave after staying in the peach pit space for a while, planning to rush to the vegetable base and care about the situation over there.
Before leaving the peach pit space, Li Yuan remembered the orchid he planted yesterday, so he came to the spring to take a look. Although it was only a short day, the orchid was already in much better condition. A few young green shoots emerged from the roots, already half an inch long.
"Yes, yes, it seems that this orchid is alive too." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and left the peach pit space with a single thought.
After leaving the peach pit space, Li Yuan rushed to the vegetable base while it was still early. To his surprise, this is the busiest time for the workers. Even if there are no customers coming to pick up the goods, everyone should work in the field. However, at the moment, the vegetable base is very quiet, and there is not even a single figure in the lounge.
Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but muttered strangely: "Could it be that everyone is lazy? No, it won't! It's strange where that person has gone! ”
At this time, Li Yuan's mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was Chen Wenchuan calling.
"Xiao Li, where are you?" Chen Wenchuan on the phone spoke in a hurried tone, sounding nervous and angry: "Can you rush to the town health center immediately?" ”
Li Yuan hurriedly replied: "I just arrived at the vegetable base, and I rushed over immediately." Village Chief Chen, why is everyone not here, what happened? ”
"It's a long story." Chen Wenchuan said on the phone: "Let's talk about it when you arrive." ”
"Okay, let's talk about it when we meet!" Knowing that something must have happened, Li Yuan quickly hung up the phone and rode to the town clinic.
When Li Yuan arrived at the town health center, he found that everyone, including Chen Wenchuan, was there. Among them, Chen Zugang and another employee of the vegetable base had gauze wrapped around their heads, making the two look like Indians.
Chen Wenchuan next to him was full of anger, waved his arms vigorously and said: "This matter can't be settled like this, we have to find those rabbit cubs in Shanghe Village to settle accounts!" ”
It was rare to see Chen Wenchuan so angry, and Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Village Chief Chen, what's going on?" ”
"Xiao Li, you're finally here." Chen Wenchuan said to Li Yuan angrily: "Our vegetable base has entered the thief, someone sneaked in and stole a lot of our vegetables!" ”
"And that kind of thing?" Li Yuan was taken aback and said: "Everyone in the village knows that you are the consultant of the vegetable base, how can you steal your head so facelessly?" ”
Chen Wenchuan shook his head and said, "It's not from Ningxia Village, it's those rabbit cubs from River Village on the other side of the river!" ”
In the next few minutes, Chen Wenchuan roughly told Li Yuan what happened, and he finally understood the ins and outs.
It turned out that it was not the villagers of Ningxia Village who entered the vegetable base to steal vegetables, but a few second-rate people in Shanghe Village, which is across the river from Ningxia Village. These guys are not from Ningxia Village, or even from Wuxi City, so naturally they don't have to sell Chen Wenchuan's face, and there is no pressure to sneak into the vegetable base to steal vegetables.
These guys are arrogant enough to sneak into the vegetable base to steal vegetables in broad daylight. happened to be bumped into by Chen Zugang and others who were working in the field, so the two sides pulled up.
Those second-rate people are young and powerful, and the vegetable base suffers a loss. Chen Zugang and another person were broken by them, and then the group fled in a hurry.
