"You also grow tassels?"

Yang Wanli, who was leading the way in front, turned around and asked in surprise: "Big brother also knows tassels?" As soon as the words came out, he reacted and knew that the tassel was not a big deal, so he asked the meaning of underestimating people, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

"When I was bored in college, I had a study of tassels, and I also had some experience in planting. Now the tassels in the market are selling smoothly, and there is no need to worry about the momentum decreasing in a few years, so I want to follow the trend and make a little money. Without budding technology, plants can only be cultivated. Although the cycle is slower and the income is less, it is better to be safe. ”

Zhang Taiping didn't pay much attention to Yang Wanli's words, and said with a smile: "The reason why I know about tassels is that I heard on the Internet before that there is a plan for a 10,000-mu tassel garden, and that's it." ”

Yang Wanli was noncommittal to Zhang Taiping's words, and he could recognize it at a glance if he didn't understand? It's just that everyone knows the truth of making light words, don't take everything too seriously, even old friends who have been friends for many years will have reservations when they speak, not to mention people who seem to be only dating for the first time. smiled and didn't say anything, leading Zhang Taiping through the tassel garden.

Behind the tassel garden is a well-planned and neatly arranged nursery. Along the way, there are really a lot of tricks, most of which are seedlings that are not as high as the waist.

The house is surrounded by a flower garden in the center. Nowadays, chrysanthemums, hibiscus and moon flowers are in full bloom.

Even if they are both chrysanthemums, their postures are also different. Some are elegant and generous, some are dragons and phoenixes, some are as magnificent as rainbows, white and snowy; The yellow is dazzling, the red is charming, and the white is elegant and dignified, competing to reflect each other, which is quite charming. Tao Qian, who "does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice", loves the frost of chrysanthemums, cold and arrogant. More chrysanthemums wrote the eternal sentence of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan".

The chrysanthemums are brilliant, and the wood hibiscus is not bad.

Wood hibiscus is also known as Mulus, named after the flower "Yan how to flower", and there is another flower color called drunken hibiscus. Hibiscus is a deciduous shrub, which should bloom after frost, but after modern technology has been continuously improved and cultivated, the flowering period has been greatly advanced. In the small pond, her flower face like a beauty getting drunk for the first time is reflected, and her chic fairy posture. The red posture is dotted on the rippling pool surface, the red one is obsessive, and the red one is intoxicating.

Not only is the flower not inferior to the chrysanthemum, but even the related legends are better than the chrysanthemum. In the Song Dynasty, it was rumored that in the ethereal fairy town, there was a hibiscus city full of red flowers. It is said that after Shi Manqing's death, there were still people who met him, and in this sudden encounter, Shi Manqing said that he had become the lord of Furong City. In this way, later generations will take Shi Manqing as the flower god of October hibiscus.

Just when Zhang Taiping felt that his eyes were too busy, a low and strong dog barking came from behind him, "Wangwang"

Zhang Taiping turned around, and a fiery red cloud jumped over, and he immediately came to him. The fur is shiny and fluffy, the mouth is as thick as a lion, the skeleton is tall, the height can reach the middle of Zhang Taiping's thighs, not one meter is eighty centimeters, and it is as strong as a calf. If you don't look closely, you really think that a majestic male lion is coming at you.

"Arei, quietly." Yang Wanli's half-doting and half-scolding voice came. The big dog immediately stopped barking, and blew like the wind from Zhang Taiping's legs, but when it reached Yang Wanli's feet, he was like a child coquettish, holding his legs and wagging his tail like a broom.

Yang Wanli patted the big dog's body, raised his head and said, "This is the big dog I raised, called A Lei." ”

Zhang Taiping has been very fond of big dogs in his last life, but he has not been able to adopt one due to physical problems, and he has browsed many famous dogs around the world on the Internet. There are not many dogs with such a tall stature, and the characteristics are so obvious, it is none other than the Tibetan mastiff.

"It's a Tibetan mastiff!" Although the tone is questioning, it is so affirmative. Unabashedly affectionate in his eyes.

"Well, this is indeed a purebred Tibetan mastiff, or I asked a friend to bring it back from Tibet, and it is now one and a half years old." There was a hint of pride in his tone.

"Enviable indeed!" Zhang Taiping sighed.

Yang Wanli stood up and grinned: "Hehe, I don't have many hobbies, except for flowers and trees, I only have dogs left, and there is a Su Mu tied to the northwest and southeast corners of the garden, and a German black back is tied to the northeast and southwest corners." ”

Zhang Taiping looked at the Tibetan mastiff Ah Lei standing next to his leg and said, "Your Ah Lei looks fierce, but I feel that he has lost his wild surname." ”

"There is no way to do it, his parents are Tibetan mastiffs in the wild in Tibetan areas, and if they are in Tibetan areas, they can still train in the wild. can be completely confined to a small circle here, and there are not many opportunities to contact the outside world, let alone wild surnames. Yang Wanli said with regret on his face.

Zhang Taiping pondered for a while and said: "I also like big dogs, and I will have a few big dogs when the time comes." My home is in Qinling Mountain, and if I have time, I can lead the dogs deep into Qinling Mountain to see and learn. ”

Yang Wanli was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhang is also a fellow believer, so I have to talk about it at that time, haha"

There was a creak, and the door was pushed open from the inside. "What makes you so happy?" With the voice came a lively and beautiful young woman.

"How did you get to the garden? Who is watching, child? Yang Wanli hurriedly asked.

"Our mom is at home on vacation today, so I'll come over and take a look, what's wrong? Stumped not welcomed? The young woman said with a smirk.

"Do I dare not welcome it?" Then he turned back to Zhang Taiping and said, "Hehe, this is my daughter-in-law, Zhuang Wan." ”

Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded with the other party.

Yang Wanli turned back to Zhuang Wan and said, "Xiaowan, I met an old man today, Brother Zhang Taiping. You get us a few dishes, and I'll have a few cups with Brother Zhang in a while. ”

After speaking, he turned around and asked Zhang Taiping with a smile: "Are you puzzled by the word old man?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and replied, "You already know me?" ”

Yang Wanli pulled Zhang Taiping's sleeve and said, "Come on, come on, go into the room and have a cup of tea and talk slowly." ”

Without saying anything, he pulled the puzzled Zhang Taiping into the house. After soaking in the West Lake Longjing, the two parties sat down, and then they told the reason.

"Speaking of which, we're still junior high school classmates."

Zhang Taiping thought about it, and then looked at Yang Wanli's face, one by one faces flashed in his mind, but there was no impression that coincided with what he was looking for.

Yang Wanli then said: "Do you remember the 'four-eyed monkey'?" ”

"Four-eyed monkey?" A distant and vague memory flooded back. The four-eyed monkey in memory was dark, short, and wore glasses. I heard that my father is the mayor of Yinzhen, but the strange thing is that he is always bullied by his classmates at school, and there are even some gangsters outside the school who blackmail and blackmail. However, I can't get in touch with the talkative and cheerful person in front of me.

"Surprised, isn't it? Hehe, it has indeed changed a lot over the years, and it is reasonable not to recognize it. He took a sip of tea and said, "I remember that once I was blocked at the school gate again, it happened that there was no money that day, and others saw it as if they didn't see it, and I was scared to death at that time, and I was about to be beaten and kicked, and at that time Brother Zhang came out of the school and rescued me with a word." Seriously, I was thinking at the time, I will remember this back for the rest of my life. Hehe. ”

Zhang Taiping took a sip of tea, although he remembered people, he had no memory of these things. I can only sigh that Zhang Taiping still has some chivalrous heart in the past.

Meals were quick and all home cooked due to the rush of time. After eating and drinking, Zhang Taiping looked at the sun that was already in the west.

Yang Wanli is also a wonderful person, and he knows what he means when he hears the strings. stood up and said, "Let's go, Brother Zhang, look at the saffron." He took his head and walked back around the house with Zhang Taiping.

The main cultivation behind the house is grape seedlings, ranging from high to low, and there are obviously just planted seedlings.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help asking, "What varieties of grape seedlings do you have here?" ”

Yang Wanli said while walking: "In recent years, there have been more people planting grapes, cherries, and walnuts, so the grape seedling varieties are relatively complete. There are more than beauty fingers, white bananas, Jufeng, Fuji Ren, Hu Taiba and so on, among which Fuji Ren and Hu Taiba have sold better in the past two years. The main reason is that these two varieties of fruits are recognized by the majority of people in the vicinity and have good sales, so fruit farmers prefer these two varieties when planting. ”

Seeing that Zhang Taiping didn't speak, he said: "Fuji Ren is mainly known for being large and juicy, if it is properly managed, there is enough water when it blooms and bears fruit, then when it is ripe, the particles will expand with the color change, and when the color reaches deep red, a single particle can reach the size of a ping pong ball." As for Hu Taiba, it is known for its color and taste. The individual grains of Hu Taiba are not as surprising as those of Fuji Ren, but the fruit is tight and firm, and when ripe, the color will turn into a deep purple, covered with a layer of purple light frost, like a sapphire clustered together, which is very gratifying. Moreover, the juice is less and the flavor is strong, and when you taste one, the sweet and refreshing taste lingers on the tip of the tongue for a long time, and there is a tendency to rap three times without knowing the taste of meat. ”

"These two are both affordable and good-looking, and they are loved by people, and there are even more people who plant them." Pointing to the nursery that had just been planted on the side of the road, he said, "Then, the Hutaiba seedlings were out of stock some time ago, and these were only recently inserted." ”

Zhang Taiping is no stranger to the cultivation of grape seedlings, and there are two kinds of seedling method: seedling method and seed seedling method. Both approaches have their merits. The seedling planting method is to cut off the branches on the old tree, and the cutting part is treated with pesticides (mainly auxin), and inserted into the soil specially prepared for seedling cultivation or directly soaked in the nutrient solution, and wait for the roots to take root. This method takes less time. The seed seedling method* is much simpler to make, only need to sow the seeds in a special soil, but embryonic germination, rooting, and seedling formation belong to a complete process, so it takes a long time. However, the survival rate of fruit seedlings cultivated by seeds is high, and the development momentum in the later stage is much better than that of fruit seedlings from seedlings.

The best time to grow vines is not in spring, but in winter. Planting in winter is conducive to the growth and development of rhizomes, and can show good growth momentum in the next year, which can shorten the time for fruiting in the first year. In fact, most fruit trees are best planted in winter.

Walk through the nursery, and behind it is a garden that has already borne fruit. An old man under the tree saw someone coming in, stopped and watched for a while, and then buried his head in his work again.

Yang Wanli introduced from afar: "That's the old man in our district, please come and help me take care of the garden." ”

After hesitating for a while, Yang Wanli said again: "Brother Zhang, there are some things that I still have to say to you clearly." I lost money for planting this saffron, because the climate here is very different from that in Tibet, and it is difficult to control the best climate for safflower growth, so there is almost no harvest. If you want to plant, you need to think twice. ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I understand your intentions. I didn't expect to make any money from it, I just wanted to give it a try. ”

Yang Wanli didn't say anything more, leading the way in front.
