Finding a place to store his bicycle, Zhang Taiping walked around the street casually with a snakeskin bag under his arm. This kind of pristine bazaar has never been experienced before, and the shouting and selling sound are all in one, and it is quite novel to walk through it.

Zhang Taiping didn't dare to ask the price of the fruit, he was really shy in his pocket, he only had 400 yuan in his pocket, and he didn't know if it was enough.

But that's the way it is, the people who sell things are too enthusiastic. Zhang Taiping hadn't approached the fruit stall yet, but wanted to see the color of the apples from afar. The sharp-eyed aunt immediately got up, peeled off an apple, and stuffed it into Zhang Taiping's hand.

"Come, come, come, lad taste first, taste first."

Zhang Taiping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." I'm just taking a casual look. "Turn around and want to leave.

The aunt took Zhang Taiping's arm and said, "Taste, taste." This is just unloading fresh goods in the morning, do you still think it is poisonous? Forced into Zhang Taiping's hand, he smiled and said, "Buying and selling is not benevolent." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Taiping expectantly.

Zhang Taiping couldn't, looking at the apple in his hand that was cut into a crescent shape, his eyes were full of helplessness. It's already stuffed into my hand, and then I say that it's impossible to throw it away or stuff it back again, so I really don't know what to do. After thinking about it, I never bought anything for Yaya, and the first time I was on the set, I should give Yaya a little more delicious food.

I took a bite, and it tasted good, sweet and sour, just in line with the appetite of children. So he asked, "How much is a pound?" ”

After hearing this, the aunt's face cracked, and she said: "Let's not say that this apple is fresh, and we have never used any pesticides, purely artificial care, and no chemical fertilizer, all of them are purchased oil residue." There are three dollars a pound in the fruit store in the north, and you are the first buyer today, even if you are two dollars a pound. ”

Zhang Taiping had heard of the fruit trees on the oil residue. There are many types of oil residue. In rural areas, vegetable oil is mostly used, but there are also other oils such as soybeans and peanuts, but they are not common. The oil residue can be used to feed pigs or as fertilizer for fruit trees, and the fruit is sweet and juicy.

Zhang Taiping pondered for a moment, two yuan a catty, not expensive, and now apples cost three or four yuan a pound in a fruit store. He nodded and said, "Weigh three catties." ”

"Okay," the aunt who sold the fruit happily replied, "You can choose yourself, and choose which one you like." ”

Zhang Taiping picked a few big ones, three catties and one tael. Give a piece of ten and get four back. Tie the apples in a plastic bag and place them in a snakeskin bag and put them on your shoulder.

Subsequently, Zhang Taiping just browsed from a distance in the middle of the road, and did not dare to come to the front again.

The main street is not short, to say the least, it is a thousand meters, and it is close to twelve o'clock when you walk around like this. The north end of Main Street is dominated by vegetables, trees and flowers, as well as some oddities that cannot be named.

Near the intersection of the last side street, Zhang Taiping found a medicinal herb shop. The space in the store is quite large, and when you enter the door, you have the feeling of being in the door, and there are many wooden shelves for placing medicinal materials, and behind the wooden shelves are stacked with medicinal materials that are neatly stacked or packed in bags.

The shopkeeper was an old man in his sixties, holding a magnifying glass, sitting behind the counter facing the door, obviously studying something. Raising his head and seeing Zhang Taiping's dress, he stood up and asked.

"What kind of medicinal herbs is the little brother selling?"

"I'm not here to sell medicine." Zhang Taiping said: "I want to buy some medicinal seeds." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then what seeds do you need?" ”

Zhang Taiping replied, "I wonder if there are any seeds of saffron, ginseng or other rare and precious medicinal materials here?" ”

"The stores you want only have sun-dried finished products, and the seeds are also some of the more common species, and these precious seeds you want are generally not available in the store." After pondering for a while, he said, "Seeds like these are rare, they are usually not available in the herb store, you can try your luck at the larger seed store, but you can't guarantee that you can find the seeds." ”

Zhang Taiping understood that he had found the wrong place, and waved his hand to the old shopkeeper and said, "Then disturb the shopkeeper, I'll try my luck elsewhere." ”

The old shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Hehe, it's okay, there are medicinal materials in the future, you can come to the store, the price is absolutely fair." ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the store. Don't stop on the street, when you come straight to a decent-looking, well-stocked seed shop.

"Boss, do you have any seeds for rare and precious medicinal materials such as saffron or ginseng?" Zhang Taiping said to the boss holding the newspaper.

The boss put down the newspaper, apologized, and said, "These seeds are so rare that they must not be found in the shop." For example, the seed shops in our town generally sell seeds of crops, fruits and vegetables, and also sell various pesticides, and the seeds of ordinary medicinal materials are not common, let alone rare and precious. ”

Zhang Taiping frowned and asked again: "Does the boss know where you can buy it?" ”

The owner of the seed shop lifted his glasses and replied, "You may be able to buy them in the big stores in Xi'an." Either you buy it on the Internet, the things on the Internet are relatively complete, there must be the seeds you want, and they can be delivered to your door without you having to run away. ”

I didn't finish speaking, and said: "If you buy seeds to plant, saffron seeds are rare, but now saffron planting can be transplanted with old roots." It's just that the cultivation of saffron is mainly concentrated in Tibetan areas, and the regional surname is very strong. ”

Although he didn't buy what he wanted, Zhang Taiping had a good impression of the owner of the seed store. said: "I'm just planting some to try, and I won't invest too much." Thank you boss for your advice. ”

The owner of the seed shop smiled and said, "Thank you, it's just a bit of a trick." ”

Zhang Taiping walked out of the seed store, covering his hands with the dazzling glare left over from the summer, his brows furrowed. He also knows that seeds can be bought online, but the problem is that the bank has no account at all, no online banking, and no Alipay, so how can he shop online? It seems that this road is going to be stillborn.

I was thinking about what else I could make money in a short time, when a voice came from the side.

"Does Big Brother want to grow saffron?"

Zhang Taiping turned his head, and his sharp eyes fell on a flat-headed young man. In a deep voice, he asked, "How do you know?" ”

The young man looked about the same age as Zhang Taiping, with a small flat head and a pair of glasses, although he was neatly dressed and in the countryside, he could be seen to be a highly educated person. Although the one-meter-eight tall did not have weak legs in front of Zhang Taiping's fierce aura, he felt worried in front of Zhang Taiping's body like a giant bear. Hurriedly explained.

"Big brother, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'll sell saplings in front of the seed store." As he spoke, he pointed to the sapling stand on the north side, next to the entrance of the seed store. "I just heard from you and the seed shop owner that you need saffron roots, and I happen to have one here, so I'm here to ask."

Zhang Taiping relaxed his body and made amends. Only then did he ask, "Where?" Can you show me? ”

The young man said, "There is no place here, my tree garden is on the west plain, if you are not in a hurry, we can go to the garden to dig up, not far, twenty minutes away." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Taiping replied without hesitation.

So the young man said to a middle-aged man next to him who also sold saplings: "Uncle Wang, help me take care of the stall for a while, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Uncle Wang replied briskly: "You go, I'll help you watch the stall." ”

The young man rode a three-wheeled motorcycle and drove Zhang Taiping to the plain.

On the way, Zhang Taiping learned that the young man's name was Yang Wanli, and his family lived in Dazhao Village, not far from Yinzhen. Yang Wanli is also a graduate of Agricultural University and is half an alumnus. At the school, I studied cultivation and tree management. After graduating from a four-year bachelor's degree, I don't want to go to graduate school to engage in academic research, and it is difficult to find a job in this unpopular major, and even if I find it, the salary is not comparable to other popular majors. So he returned to his hometown, contracted 50 acres of land with the support of his family, established his own forest garden, and put some of the ideas he had already had in his heart into action.

The three-wheeled motorcycle stopped in front of a lush forest garden. The garden is surrounded by barbed wire and cement poles, and two tall plane trees surround the gate.

The two sycamores in front of the door have extraordinary significance. Because the sycamore is tall and straight, it is the best among the trees and has been valued since ancient times. And often associate the sycamore with the phoenix, the phoenix is the king of birds, happy to live on the sycamore, it can be seen that the sycamore has a noble status.

Zhuangzi's autumn water chapter also talks about sycamores. When Zhuangzi saw Huizi, he said: "There is a bird in the south, and its name is Chick, what does the son know? The husband and chick, born in the South China Sea and flying in the North Sea, is not more than the sycamore, "The thirty-seventh chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is such a description: "The phoenix soars in the thousands, not the sycamore; Shifu is on one side, and he is not the master. "They all associate the sycamore with the phoenix.

Therefore, people often say: "Plant the plane tree, and there will be a phoenix". Planting a plane tree in front of the door not only has the momentum of the plane tree, but also attracts the good wishes of distinguished guests.

Large trees transplanted on the periphery obscured the view from the outside, and only the lush branches could be seen outside. As soon as Pu entered the door, the view under his eyes was diametrically opposed to the outside. As far as the eye can see, there are staggered saplings that are no more than a meter tall.

The first thing that caught his eye was more than ten or twenty acres of tassel saplings, which made Zhang Taiping a little surprised, but then he was relieved. Although tassel saplings have high technical requirements and are difficult to cultivate, the owner doesn't happen to learn the cultivation profession, and it will not be too difficult to cultivate tassel saplings if you apply what you have learned.

As a national second-class protected plant, the tassel tree has a wide range of functions.

The branches and leaves of the tassel tree are luxuriant, and the trees are full of white flowers in early summer, such as frost and snow, which is beautiful and pleasant. The flower shape is slender, beautiful and lovely, it is a beautiful garden ornamental tree, and it has a good ornamental effect regardless of embellishment and group planting. It is suitable for planting around buildings, or by pools and walkways in parks.

The tassel tree can also be selected from old piles for potted plants to make pile scenes; Old piles can also be selected as rootstocks for grafting other trees, especially cinnamon.

Nowadays, the city is developing rapidly, and there is a need for a large number of landscape trees on both sides of the road, and large areas of the suburbs also need green trees. Both aesthetically and functionally, tassel trees are the first choice.

Therefore, there are many people who have cultivated and planted in the past two years, but the supply is still in short supply. The area of urban greening in Gaine increased geometrically, and the germination rate of tassel seeds was very low. Fifty percent of the buds can be produced, even if it is very good, not to mention some of the losses due to immature or improper cultivation and care in the process of cultivation and care. Therefore, the trend of planting tassels has grown over the years, but I have not heard of the market saturation or the price drop caused by following the trend. If you master the technology of seed germination and can increase the germination rate to 60 or 70 percent, then it is not a fantasy to make millions in just one month.
