Chapter 90: Buying Tree Seeds
However, Li Yuan soon discovered that it was not easy to get this tree species. The small-leaved red sandalwood is the best in India, and the sea-southern yellow pear is also grown in Hainan as the name suggests. In other words, both of these are tropical trees, and they are almost impossible to grow in the Jiangnan area, so it is naturally difficult to get saplings.
Of course, in this era of developed networks, everything can be bought online, including these two saplings. However, Li Yuan was worried that he would buy fakes on the Internet, and if he cut down the tree, he found that it had been planted with other tree species, and he would really vomit blood at that time.
This question bothered Li Yuan for several days, so much so that he was a little absent-minded when he was arguing with Lao Liao, and naturally he was immediately seen by the other party.
"Yo, that's a rarity!" Lao Liao seemed to have discovered a new world, and said very exaggeratedly: "You heartless boy actually have something on your mind, did you do something illegal and criminal, worried that the police will come to the door?" ”
"Can't you hope I'm okay?" Li Yuan frowned and said, "How can a good law-abiding citizen like me do illegal and criminal things?" I'm worried about something else! ”
Lao Liao blinked and said, "That's which girl's belly is bigger, and it's not going to end well?" ”
"Get out, I'm not as shameless as you!" Li Yuan gave Lao Liao a roll of his eyes, and said very annoyedly: "I want to plant a few small-leaved red sandalwood and sea-southern yellow pear, but I can't get saplings, it's really troublesome!" ”
Don't look at Lao Liao has been squeezing Li Yuan, but in fact, he is still very concerned about his affairs, and immediately asked him when he heard this: "Why did you think of planting these two kinds of trees?" Grow something that can't live with us! ”
"I have my own way of this." Li Yuan said distressedly: "Now I'm afraid of buying fake saplings, and I've been busy for many years and have found nothing, so it's miserable!" ”
Seeing that Li Yuan refused to elaborate, Lao Liao didn't mean to ask, but said triumphantly: "I thought it was a big deal, didn't I just want to buy saplings, I can handle this kind of trivial matter casually." ”
Knowing that Lao Liao would never brag and deceive himself, Li Yuan immediately asked him in surprise: "Do you have a way?" ”
"An old fellow who used to join the queue with me is now planting trees in Guangzhou-west and planting small-leaved red sandalwood and Hai-Nanhuanghua pear." Lao Liao said unhurriedly: "He went to the origin of these two trees to buy seeds, which can ensure that there is absolutely no problem with the seedlings." ”
Li Yuan immediately rubbed his hands and smiled: "I didn't expect you to have such a way, hurry up and contact your friend, ask him to send me some seeds, and I will pay for it!" ”
Lao Liao glanced at Li Yuan proudly, and said unhurriedly: "I remembered, just now someone said that I was shameless and told me to get out......
"Hey, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!" Li Yuan immediately laughed and said: "You are old and wise, martial and upright, how can you be shameless, right?" ”
It is rare to have the upper hand in the quarrel with Li Yuan, and Lao Liao is also proud and in a good mood. Since Li Yuan softened, Lao Liao didn't embarrass him anymore, and called his old friend in Guangxi on the spot.
The other party knew that Lao Liao wanted some tree seeds, so he agreed without saying a word, and said that he would go to the courier company in the afternoon to deliver it, and it would be delivered to Lao Liao in five days at the longest.
"That's it!" Lao Liao hung up the phone and said to Li Yuan lightly: "Go back and wait, I'll call you when the seeds arrive." ”
Li Yuan said flatteringly: "You are still old, and you can solve such a big trouble with one phone call!" I really crossed more bridges than I walked, and ate more salt than I ate......"
"Alright, alright!" Lao Liao waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't pat yourself here, just respect me in the future, go about your own business, don't hinder me from doing bamboo carving here!" ”
Don't look at Lao Liao, who usually likes to quarrel with Li Yuan, in fact, he still cares about this young man very much. Only four days later, Li Yuan received a call from him, saying that both tree species had arrived.
Li Yuan immediately came to Lao Liao's house in a hurry and saw the tree species that he had been looking for for a long time but had not been able to get.
The seeds of Rosewood microphylla are larger, about the same size as red beans, with a circular film around the seeds. The purpose of this film is to help the seeds that fall from the tree glide a certain distance, and the seeds can be sent farther away to germinate. On the other hand, the seeds of the Hai-Nanhuanghua pear are slightly smaller, and there is a film around the seeds, but they are leaf-shaped.
Lao Liao's friend is very interesting, and he gives a lot of both tree species. Li Yuan estimated that there were not so many trees planted in that small peach pit space.
However, it is a good thing to have more seeds, after all, according to the text on the back of the jade tablet, as long as you absorb enough aura, the peach pit will continue to evolve. At that time, the area of the peach pit space will also increase, and more trees will be planted.
"Great, great!" Li Yuan, who finally got the tree seeds, was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered, and he said to Lao Liao with a smile: "I'll go back, plant these seeds first!" ”
"Wait!" At this time, Lao Liao stopped Li Yuan, pointed to a flower pot outside the door and said, "Help me throw that thing away by the way." ”
Lao Liao has always taken good care of Li Yuan, so Li Yuan was willing to help him do things, and he agreed without thinking about it. When Li Yuan went out, he picked up the flower pot and found that there were only a few dry stems in the pot, which looked a little like leeks and garlic.
Since he started to use Jinzhu to grow vegetables, Li Yuan has become more interested in plants, and at this time, he can't help but ask curiously: "What is planted in this pot?" ”
"An orchid I bought last year." Lao Liao replied lightly: "That is, ordinary varieties, if you don't take care of them, they are basically all withered, and they can't be saved!" ”
"It turned out to be an orchid, I thought it was a leek." Li Yuan suddenly realized: "I think, what's the use of you planting so many leeks, it's better to plant some green onions!" ”
"Go, go, unseen boy." was speechless at Li Yuan's eyes, and Lao Liao drove him away impatiently.
After saying goodbye to Lao Liao, Li Yuan rushed home in a hurry. He hesitated as he passed the trash can, and finally brought back the orchid, which had only a little green left at its roots.
Li Yuan, who arrived home, didn't care whether it was now or daytime, so he brought all kinds of tools and went into the peach pit space to plant trees.
In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that planting trees, after all, Li Yuan received all tree seeds, and it is more appropriate to say sowing seeds. This time, Li Yuan brought two large flower pots into the peach pit space, filled the flower pots with the soil in the space, and then sowed the tree seeds that had been soaked in spring water for a while into the flower pots.
Finally, Li Yuan watered the pot again, and then moved to a place away from the peach tree to bask in the sun. In fact, strictly speaking, it can't be called basking in the sun, because there is no sun in the peach pit space, and Li Yuan doesn't know where the sufficient light comes from.
Based on Li Yuan's little knowledge of plants, he knew that seeds need three conditions to germinate - moisture, temperature and air. Now that all these three conditions have been met, it depends on whether the seeds can germinate.
