Chapter 55: Planting Trees
Thank you for the reward and evaluation votes of the Sky Wolf Howling Sky Battle!
The next morning, Li Jiahao got up and went to the house of Li Deben, the village director, and called some villagers to help plant grapevines and cherry trees through a loudspeaker.
"Li Jiahao wants to hire someone to plant trees, 80 yuan a day." Li Deben said loudly.
Putting down the horn, Li Deben said to Li Jiahao again, Li Jiahao is really bold, the grapes and cherries in the village are all grown and eaten by themselves, who will plant so much, what if there are good things that can't be sold. Li Jiahao didn't think about it so much, because he thought that the grapes and cherries grown with his spatial spiritual water must be delicious, and he was afraid that no one would want good things?
When I got home, I saw that my family had already eaten breakfast, so I could eat and drink some porridge. After eating, the villagers came in twos and threes, with pryers, buckets, and shovels, a total of several people. Anyway, it's not very busy now, the early-maturing watermelons have been planted, and the "nutritious sowing" watermelons can be planted next month.
Yao Kuifa started the truck and loaded it with grape and cherry seedlings. The children who do not go to school also join in the fun, holding grape seedlings and cherry seedlings together. Adults don't care about these children, just don't make trouble anyway.
When he came to the edge of the reservoir and saw the reservoir surrounded by mountains winding between the mountains like a long dragon, Yao Kuifa shouted and said: "The location of the real reservoir is very good, you see the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right." It's so beautiful, green mountains, green water, blue sky and white clouds. ”
"That's right, it's not beautiful, I won't contract it, I'm going to build this into a farm manor in the future, and I'll do it little by little first." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good, the scenery of your Litang Village is really beautiful, it's good to make a scenic spot, the key is that the road in your village has to be repaired, that road is really not good, it's too bad, my car almost didn't break down yesterday." Yao Kuifa thought of the path that almost made him vomit.
"That's right, that road is going to be built." Li Jiahao is also helpless.
The children didn't know when they brought the elephants and put them on the edge of the grass to eat the grass.
Plant cherry trees first, a few strong men carried water from the reservoir, Li Jiahao also followed to carry water, seeing Li Jiahao's thin figure carrying as much water as them, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Jiahao, can your small body be provoked?" Let's go and help the saplings. ”
"Just kidding, I'm very strong, don't underestimate me." Li Jiahao said with a smile. Since he went through the space plucking and marrow-washing, Li Jiahao's body has been different from before, and even he doubts whether it is his own when he is so powerful.
The children's office helped to hold the cherry saplings, the third aunt helped the saplings, and the other villagers began to fill in the soil and water them. Generally, autumn picking, spring picking is not good, that is because if the spring planting is early, the temperature fluctuates greatly, and it is susceptible to frost damage. If the spring planting is late, the budding is fast, and the root growth is slow, and the survival rate of cherries is low. Autumn cultivation does not have such problems. But there is no problem in Litang Village, the climate of Litang Village is relatively warm, although the four seasons are distinct, but the spring is still relatively warm.
Picking cherry trees is different from other trees, as the saying goes, "Cherries are delicious and difficult to plant." "The difficulty of cherry trees is mainly due to the special surname of the cherry root system. Cherries have shallow roots, so they are afraid of drought, and they have a high demand for oxygen, so they are afraid of standing water. Growing cherries is actually quite difficult. "But with Yao Kuifa here, there is no problem.
Planting and cultivating cherries must choose a high-terrain, no waterlogging, low groundwater level area, medium or slightly sour surname, deep soil, good breathability of the sandy loam soil is appropriate. It is best to use the method of deep planting and shallow burial in small pits.
Everyone was divided into groups of three, one person carried water, one person supported seedlings, and one person dug pits and filled soil. Dig a small pit first, the pit can be dug smaller, but dig a little deeper, put the cherry seedlings inside, straighten, fill the soil, and water. One cherry tree is plucked, followed by the next. Generally, the row spacing of the plants is 30 cm * 20 cm, and about 1,200 plants are planted on one acre, so Li Jiahao bought half an acre of cherry seedlings.
Now that we've planted the cherry seedlings, it's time to plant the grape seedlings. It is better to choose sandy soil for grape planting. The row spacing is 1.5×2m. 500 plants can be picked on one acre of land. Like picking cherries, digging pits, planting, filling soil, and watering, while everyone was not paying attention, Li Jiahao poured the spiritual water in the space into the ancient well, so the water that everyone picked up contained spiritual water. This makes it tastier.
Li Jiahao walked to the edge of the ancient well, filled two buckets of water, and was about to pick it up, when he saw the little elephant walk to Li Jiahao's side, float up and down with his nose, and saw Li Jiahao want to carry water, and hurriedly rolled Li Jiahao aside with his nose, Li Jiahao said: "What are you doing?" Do you want to drink water? At first, Li Jiahao thought that the baby elephant was thirsty for grazing, so he quickly put the bucket on the ground and let the baby elephant drink enough. Who knew that the baby elephant was not drinking water, but wrapped the bucket with its long trunk and walked to the ground, Li Jiahao followed behind, it turned out that the baby elephant wanted to help, and wanted to help Li Jiahao carry water. Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect the baby elephant to carry water, it's really good, I really didn't raise this baby elephant in vain.
The baby elephant curls its trunk very quickly, a bucket for a while, a bucket for a while, Li Jiahao is very happy, the baby elephant can help him work, then he can also be a little easier. After picking up more than a dozen buckets of water, the baby elephant's nose was strangled with red marks by the barrel nose of the bucket. Li Jiahao saw that the little elephant had no intention of resting, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Little elephant, don't roll up, your nose is red." "His baby elephant, Li Jiahao is still very distressed, and if it goes on like this, the trunk of the baby elephant will not be able to stand it. Li Jiahao used a small bucket to draw water in the well and poured it into the big bucket, after the two large buckets were full, Li Jiahao was about to pick it himself, and the baby elephant picked up the flat shoulder with his long trunk, and slowly let it go over his head until he put it on his back.
"Hey, your little elephant has to carry water, Jiahao, you take the flat pole and let the baby elephant pick it up." Villager Li Hai said.
"This method is good, so that the trunk of the baby elephant will not be red. That's good, the baby elephant is still very powerful, and it's still no problem to carry water. Li Jiahao said with a smile.
The baby elephant began to carry water with buckets, and the two buckets swayed back and forth on the back of the baby elephant, while Li Jiahao walked next to the baby elephant, and when the baby elephant picked it up to the ground, he could help put the bucket down.
After working for a few hours, it was said that the three poles, the time for noon came, the third aunt hurriedly brought tea, and after working for such a long time, she was already thirsty enough, everyone hurriedly picked up the big bowl and drank it, Li Jiahao and a few young men didn't care about any tea or not, only to see lying in the bucket and drinking enough. "Jiahao, have you drunk it, this well water is so sweet, why haven't I drunk it so sweet before." Villager Li Hai said.
"Hehe, the well water is sweet." Li Jiahao actually knew in his heart that this was all because Li Jiahao had added a lot of spiritual water just now.
"Really? I'm going to drink some too, is it that sweet? Another mountain man, Li Fu, said.
When Li Fu heard Li Hai say that the well water was so sweet, he hurriedly put down the bowl, put his head into the bucket and drank it, and drank a lot of well water at once. "Really, this water is so delicious, so sweet, it's like adding a lot of honey." Li Fu said with a smile, and drank a few more sips of water as he spoke.
When people are thirsty, drinking sweet water does not quench their thirst, but the well water with spiritual water is not only sweet, but also very thirst-quenching.
"Wait until I pick a bucket to cook at home, it will be delicious." Li Fu said with a smile.
Li Jiahao did not stop it, the well water originally contained a lot of minerals, and now there are many ancient wells in Li Tang Village, and many people still use the water in the ancient wells to cook rice. But the water in those ancient wells is a little sweet, but it is definitely not as sweet as the well water in Li Jiahao's bucket, because Li Jiahao added space spiritual water. Li Jiahao couldn't say anything, and he didn't stop it, and watched with a smile as Li Fu picked up water and went home to cook.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's go home and cook first, and then we'll pick the seeds again." Li Jiahao said.
Everyone put their things in the reservoir and bowed their heads, washed their hands and went home to cook and eat.
