Jiang Yichen decided to move the chickens, and things should be done sooner rather than later. So, after breakfast, Kiko was left to clean up, and the other three dressed up, took wooden sticks, machetes, shovels and other tools, and went to the south of the island to explore.
As soon as they walked a short distance downstream of the gourd depression, they found that there was a depression in the western mountain wall, and the sand and gravel ground was relatively flat.
In this way, as long as you extend outward to make a fence, and then make a roof to connect with the mountain wall, the new chicken coop will come out, saving time and effort.
Carefully surveying the surrounding environment, the area of the gravel land is not large, not far to the east it becomes a meadow, the edge of the meadow is a small stream that flows out of the pond under the gourd depression, on the opposite side of the creek is a miscellaneous forest, and to the south there is a hilly hill.
This place is really nice, with meadows, forests, and natural food supplies should be relatively abundant. It is also close to the water source, so it is convenient for residents to drink on their own. Now that these guys are big and their daily water intake has doubled, it is no longer possible to feed only the nutrient water in the stone pit like when they were chicks, after all, the latter is limited in quantity after all, and can only be used as a tonic at present.
After looking around, they didn't find any major problems, and the three of them summed it up again, and felt that the environment here was very good, so they naturally finalized it.
After confirming the location of the new chicken coop, Jiang Yichen walked around the neighborhood slowly, and when he took designer Xiao Liu around the area yesterday, he talked about the idea of planting various fruit trees.
Except for the small miscellaneous forest in the east, there are other places except for the meadows and bushes, including the small hill in the south.
In accordance with the principles of development and use of Yunsha Island. The original topography and vegetation of the forest cannot be destroyed. According to the communication with the designer Xiao Liu, the trees are more obvious, and it is best to move less in the development process, and other such as shrubs and grasslands, although they are also vegetation in concept, are not so strict in actual operation, and there is more room for activity, as long as they are not destroyed on a large scale so that the ground soil is exposed.
As for the development and construction plan of the island, due to the lack of funds, infrastructure projects that require large investment, such as small buildings, docks, and ring roads, are not yet able to be carried out. You can only stay on the drawing for the time being.
But like fruit trees, crops are planted. Aquaculture, livestock and poultry farming, etc., which require a small amount of capital, should be able to start.
As for the uses of fruit trees, there are actually many them. Nourished by the ice water of the space. The quality of the fruit is certainly not bad. In addition to direct consumption, you can also make zuò fruit drinks, preserved fruits, jams, and fruit wines. That's right. Fruit fillings and sweets should also be popular, especially for women and children. The market has broad prospects.
The source of fruit saplings is naturally bothering Old Man Liao, and the varieties of pepper and large material saplings that he got from his acquaintance last time are very good, and the price is affordable.
So, Jiang Yichen told Lai Shun'er and Qingqing about his idea, and soon got the latter's support.
"Okay, okay, we'll plant fruit trees right away." When Qingqing heard this, she was very motivated.
"Hehe, what a gluttonous girl. Don't worry, just do it, it's not as lucrative as buying fruit in the city supermarket. First find a good location, clear the bushes, and then dig a tree pit. I also had to find someone to order fruit tree saplings. Jiang Yichen said with a smile.
"I know, Brother Chenzi, you hurry up and order, and I'll help when digging the pit. Well, cherries, apples, navel oranges, peaches, ......" Qingqing pondered as she began to order with her fingers.
"Alright, don't bother. In this way, as long as there are fruit tree varieties there, we want them all. Otherwise, how can it be called a hundred fruit orchards? Jiang Yichen waved his hand, preventing Qingqing from continuing to bother with her brains.
Qingqing was very happy, and walked into the bushes, and began to wonder which places were the most suitable to plant fruit trees.
She wore an old coat and pants today, as well as gloves and a headscarf, to accommodate the needs of exploration.
Jiang Yichen looked at her back and smiled slightly. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed Old Man Liao.
On the phone, he asked the other party to help contact an acquaintance, and he needed a batch of fruit tree seedlings, all kinds of them, about a dozen of each. It is better to have older seedlings, of course, the varieties can not be bad.
"You stinky boy, come to my old man if you have something, and you don't even say hello when you have nothing to do. I haven't shown my head for a few days, and if I don't care about the things in your field, the weeds will jump higher than the seedlings, so I can just change the pasture to graze the sheep. Old man Liao counted down dissatisfiedly.
"Well, old man, you have worked hard and made indelible and outstanding contributions to the motherland and the people. When I'm done and go back, a bucket of fresh oysters and two live mackerel of more than three catties will ensure pure game. How's it going? Jiang Yichen hurriedly offered a heavy reward.
Old man Liao laughed and scolded on the phone, and then promised to find someone to ask about the fruit sapling.
The two chatted briefly a few more words, and the old man Liao said that someone was looking for him, and then hung up the phone.
Since he could agree, Jiang Yichen was relieved. I am not good at fruit tree seedlings or anything, and it is easy to be deceived if I buy them outside, although the cost is not much, but I can't afford to delay the time.
He slipped his phone back in his pocket. When I turned my head, I saw Qingqing and Lai Shun'er having a heated discussion about the location of fruit tree planting.
Jiang Yichen stepped forward and discussed with them, and finally decided to use the area between the new chicken coop and the top of the hill to the south, as well as the area opposite the creek and the southern part of the mixed forest, as the site of the future Hundred Fruit Garden.
The principle of planting is still to adapt measures to local conditions, not to change the original topography, which also saves labor.
Of course, the first thing to do at present is the construction of a new chicken coop, and the finishing and digging work of the Baiguoyuan Park will be put to the next step.
So, the three of them worked together to clean up the bushes, stones and other debris within the scope of the new chicken coop. Then return to the cave base, ready to tear down the old chicken coop.
When passing by the gourd depression, Lai Shun'er was a little thirsty, so he ran to the edge of the upper depression and squatted down to hold water and drink.
Jiang Yichen reminded him that it is best to boil water in the wild before drinking it to prevent germs and parasites from invading the human body.
Lai Shun'er shook his head again and again, saying that the water quality of the gourd depression is very good, he and Xizi have been living on the island for so long, and they have never had a stomach trouble when they drink raw, so don't worry. Moreover, the spring water comes out of the ground, and after many layers of filtration, if there is anything unclean in it, it will be filtered out long ago.
Qingqing also wanted to learn, but was stopped by Jiang Yichen.
Taking advantage of this, Jiang Yichen looked around, and the area around the gourd depression was the natural garden landscape of the island, which was completely different from the atmospheric ocean scenery of the silver sand beach and the half-moon cliff. There is a sense of elegance and elegance, winding paths, and it was also appreciated by the designer Xiao Liu last time.
However, the scenery formed by pure nature, without artificial refinement, is still a little lacking. For example, in the area to the south of the upper depression, all kinds of shrubs and dead vines are mixed and crowded together, which looks messy and affects the appearance.
Well, you should get rid of those things and plant some other plants, and the look will change.
What should I plant here? He wondered to himself.
Yes, bamboo, that's it, it's the most suitable. Jiang Yichen immediately thought of this delicate plant.
Bamboo is evergreen in all seasons, tall and beautiful, and elegant. If it is combined with gourd depressions, pebbles and woods, the murmuring water and the green bamboo, it will be a refreshing picture.
Bamboo is not only beautiful and fast-growing, but it also has many practical uses.
Thick bamboo can be used as a building material, and the bamboo buildings on stilts in the south are unique.
The permanent buildings on the island, the floor area is subject to strict restrictions by the relevant authorities. But like the bamboo building, it should be considered a temporary building, not in this list, but it can be built as needed in the future.
In addition, bamboo shoots can be used as an ingredient, and they taste very good.
Bamboo can also be used as furniture and utensils for daily life, such as bamboo beds, bamboo chairs, mats, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, etc. The bamboo tube can also be used for cooking rice, and it has a pleasant fragrance.
Thinking about it this way, bamboo is indeed a treasure, and it is rare. At present, there is no such thing on the island, so not only gourd depression, but also other places can also consider planting some.
Jiang Yichen thought of this, and made a decision. One guest is not bothered by the two masters, and I will talk to the old man Liao again. (To be continued......)
