Saffron is planted at the low level of mature fruit trees, and the overall growth is very bad, and now is the time for saffron to bloom, but it is scattered with a few safflowers, and it is too little to drink tea, let alone sell it for money.

Zhang Taiping fiddled with the branch and said, "I only have three hundred and fifty yuan here, how much do you think I can get?" ”

Yang Wanli deliberately said with a straight face: "Brother Zhang, you can say this, we are also junior high school classmates, not to mention that Brother Zhang also helped me, maybe that incident is insignificant to Brother Zhang, but it is enough to make me grateful for a lifetime at that time." Besides, the saffron root plant is like a weed in my place, and it can be regarded as a pearl covered with dust, and now the sword is given to the hero, and it is sent to the hands of those who need it, so that it can be used to the fullest. It hurts to talk about money again. ”

Zhang Taiping's hand in his pocket couldn't take it out. Speaking of this, it seems hypocritical to give money again, which really hurts feelings.

Pick up your head, and dig into half a snakeskin bag in a short time. He shook his hand and asked, "How much land do you think these can plant?" ”

Yang Wanli calculated for a while before replying, "About one point." ”

Zhang Taiping put away his head and said, "One point, one point is enough." ”

Tie the bag and ask, "Isn't it strawberries under the peach tree over there?" ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhang's eyes are like torches, and they are indeed strawberries. I got this strawberry from a friend, and the variety is relatively old, and when I got it back, there were only a few strawberries, and after a few years, they were all over the field under the trees. He asked again, "I wonder if Brother Zhang's family has an orchard?" ”

"There are a few acres." Zhang Taiping answered truthfully.

"Then dig some up and plant them under the fruit trees. This is a good thing, it doesn't have much effect on the tree under the tree, but it can inhibit the growth of weeds. This breed is old, inferior in size and disease resistance to the new variety; But the advantages are also outstanding, the color is bright, the flesh is thick and juicy, and the appearance is not bad. If you plant some to eat, then you don't need to manage it at all, just eradicate the excess every winter; If you want to be a fruit culture, you must plant densely, and you must manage more, mainly because the water bath is sufficient, and the disease prevention can be, and the other is that the plant spacing must be reorganized every winter. Yang Wanli suggested.

Zhang Taiping nodded without thinking about it, this is really worthless. Strawberry is a herbaceous perennial plant, and in the summer when it grows vigorously, a tentacle can reach more than one to two meters long, and every 20 centimeters the tentacles will penetrate into the soil to form roots. A seedling can cover an area of two to three square meters in a year, and nearly 100 new plants will be grown, and the reproductive ability is particularly strong. Don't discuss whether you make money or not, at least you can give Yaya a mouth.

Seeing Zhang Taiping nodded, Yang Wanli called his wife to send a snakeskin bag and scissors. Zhang Taiping digging, he cut off the excess branches and leaves next to him, leaving only two or three young leaves in the core, so as to reduce the loss of water after planting and facilitate survival.

"Strawberries are particularly fond of sunlight, and they like water but are afraid of water, so they should be planted in a sunny and well-drained place." Strawberries are just a pack of water, and they need to be full of water during the flowering and fruiting period. When it bears fruit, it is most afraid of rain, and the fruits will soften and fester, and a rainy season can destroy all the fruits that come from the core. Therefore, if there are conditions, it is better to plant in greenhouses. ”

After digging and cutting and pretending, Zhang Taiping said again: "Let's get a few more fruit trees." ”

Yang Wanli asked, "I don't know what fruit tree Brother Zhang wants?" ”

"Apples, pears, peaches, longans, two each, and by the way, two of each variety." Zhang Taiping finished in one breath.

Yang Wanli began to dig without saying a word. It took the two of them more than half an hour to finish digging, a large bundle. Sitting under the tree to rest for a while, smoking a cigarette, and becoming familiar with the smoke, Zhang Taiping couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You can contract such a large forest garden, you shouldn't be short of money, how can you set up a stall on the street?"

"Hehe, that's my surname. may make Brother Zhang laugh, although he has been in high school and college in the city for several years, he has always been unable to integrate into the life and environment in the city, and even has some disgust. I like the leisurely life of the green hills in our countryside, surrounded by green water, and looking up at the blue sky. In the off-season like autumn, when selling trees, I like to pedal on a three-wheeled motorcycle, and casually carry a few fruit trees to find a stall on the street for a long time. It is very comfortable to watch the crowd coming and going in the market. ”

"What is there to laugh at, it is also a skill to be able to combine career and interest."

"Why didn't Brother Zhang go outside to develop?"

Zhang Taiping leaned against the tree, spit out a puff of cigarette, and replied: "I, I have not been successful all these years, and I have not made any reputation." There are only wives and daughters at home, and they can't do without it. No, I want to develop something in the village, so that I can support my family and not leave home. ”

After smoking, I looked at my watch, it was almost four o'clock. Stood up and patted his ass and said, "It's not too early, it's time for me to go." ”

Yang Wanli also looked at his watch and said, "Okay, let's go over together, and there are still some saplings on the street to get back." ”

When he arrived at the gate of the garden, Zhang Taiping took out 350 yuan and sent it to Yang Wanli and said, "You should accept it this time, I have a lot of fruit trees." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Wanli still blocked back, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, I really want to make you a friend, but you are so outside, it's difficult to look down on me as a friend?" ”

Although the words did not reach the point of condemnation, they brought questioning.

Zhang Taiping looked at Yang Wanli's eyes, and the other party also looked at him, with firmness and sincerity in his eyes.

"Good! I've made you a friend. Pu fan-like big hands patted Yang Wanli's shoulder and said.

Yang Wanli grinned and said: "Brother Zhang, your strength is not covered, and it is estimated that my small body will fall apart after two more strokes." ”

"Hahaha," Zhang Taiping laughed heartily, "Then you have to step up your workout, otherwise your daughter-in-law won't be able to spare you then." ”

Yang Wanli also laughed.

Sitting on the tricycle, Zhang Taiping was quite embarrassed: "I still look like a devil entering the village today, don't say anything about eating and drinking, and take it for nothing before leaving." ”

Yang Wanli said with a smile: "A devil like you has entered the village a few more times, and the little brother is really willing." Ha ha. ”

After a while, he returned to the street, Zhang Taiping got out of the car, because there was no mobile phone and no phone at home, Zhang Taiping left the phone number of the village chief's house to Yang Wanli and wrote down his mobile phone number. Carrying saplings and snakeskin bags, he headed south.

I found a secluded corner, put everything in the space, and returned to the street. Since I didn't have any money, I thought about bringing something back.

In the afternoon, the streets are much less crowded than in the morning and noon, and the people who rush to the market on the long road or in the mountains go home at two or three o'clock.

Let's go to a small seed shop first. "Boss, do you have any seeds for summer vegetables in the store now?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." The chubby and round boss said with a smile: "Although the shop is small, there is a good saying: 'Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs', and there are seeds all year round, no matter what time of year, no matter what season." Then he asked again.

"I wonder what seed my brother wants?"

Zhang Taiping was stunned for a while and said: "Tomatoes, cucumbers, lentils, cannon spicy, second cannon spicy, onions, radish, well, that's all first." ”

The fat boss was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I take the liberty of asking, does my brother want to engage in out-of-season vegetables?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "If you want to get some greenhouse vegetables, try it first this year." ”

"Brother is an assertive person at first glance," the fat boss gave a thumbs up and complimented, "Good idea!" In recent years, the price of vegetables has soared, and growing vegetables is a good way out. Plant a part of it before it has completely cooled down, store it after harvesting it, and then take it out and sell it at a good price at the end of the year. ”

"To borrow the boss's good words, then the boss recommends some varieties." Zhang Taiping said with a grin.

"If you want me to say, although it is warm in the greenhouse, it is certainly not as warm as the natural outside temperature in summer, so the seeds should be cold-tolerant. Tomatoes, just choose 'Fenhong No. 9', this variety is hardy, not to mention, it is big and fresh when it is ripe, the taste is also good, the yield is high, and it is suitable for planting to sell. As for cucumbers"

The fat boss recommended a variety one by one. Zhang Taiping didn't care too much, he didn't understand the similarities and differences between each variety, and he was going to be planted in space, and the requirements for quality and climate were negligible. The reason why I asked the boss to introduce it was that I didn't know what varieties there were. After the boss finished speaking, he made a decision.

The fat boss quickly pressed the calculator and said: "A total of thirty-six yuan five, I feel like I am in love when I see my brother, so I will accept thirty-five yuan." ”

Zhang Taiping smiled and did not speak. I can't help but think that this fat boss is also said to be a person who can do big things, and his mouth is also kind and smooth, but he only guards a small shop, which is strange. Thinking about it, I laughed, everyone has their own stories, experiences and fates, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. is like Yang Wanli, who has a huge garden, but likes to set up stalls on the street and understand the various states of life. Shaking his head, he walked out of the seed store amid the fat boss's "next time" sound.

After that, I went to buy a bag of rice and went to Renrenle Supermarket to buy some snacks for Yaya. At five o'clock, I retrieved the bicycle and headed home.

The wheels of the journey home swirled like the wind, shuttling like arrows on the road around the mountain. Home is the impeccable harbor, the end point of the wanderer's hesitation, and the root of the swaying and rotating leaves. It's good to have something to rely on, and it's also a kind of happiness to have concern.

Just when Zhang Taiping's heart was filled with satisfaction and comfort, someone in front of him waved his hand. Zhang Taiping clenched the brakes, stopped in front of the person who was shaking his hand, and supported the ground with his legs.

This is a group of students, each riding a variable speed bicycle, three men and four women, looking at the dress and face, it should be a college student who came out to play together during the National Day holiday.

"Big brother, excuse me. How do I get to Fengyukou Village? A lively and bold girl with two or three playful freckles on her nose came up and asked.

"It's not close, if you really want to go, you can follow me." Zhang Taiping said calmly.

"In this case, can the eldest brother wait a while, let's discuss?" The little girl with freckles hesitated and said.

"Hmm," Zhang Taiping nodded.

The seven people clustered together and muttered quietly, Zhang Taiping did not deliberately listen, but looked at the cars shuttling in the middle of the road intently.
