Chapter 258: The Vineyard
With the peach blossoms in full bloom, other fruit trees in the village also bloomed, but because of different varieties, the opening time is very different
The native bees in Liu Junhao's courtyard are completely active, buzzing around the branches every day. Seeing that a lot of reed pipes were sealed with new mud, he deliberately broke one and tasted it.
The color of the newly brewed peach nectar is very different from that of summer, with a reddish and milky white, and it feels really good to eat it rustling in your mouth. However, now there are very few sources of honey, and the native bees are only barely enough to eat themselves, and Liu Junhao just tastes it fresh and does not cut the honey.
Seeing that the people in the village began to plant fruit trees one after another, Zhang Qian also moved her mind, thinking that her yard was so big, she should plant some grape vines.
According to her, the more vines she planted, the better, so that in the summer they could sell grapes, and if they couldn't sell them, they could dry raisins and make wine.
Liu Junhao listened to the straight sweat, and his wife considered. It's too comprehensive, it's the same as the joke about making tofu on the Internet, you can't sell it and you can make dried tofu and stinky tofu.
One or two vines are easy to manage, but to turn. Vacate a vineyard, which is estimated to be tied there every day. Fertilizing, spraying, sealing soil, pruning, and a lot of other things have to keep him busy.
In short, his consideration is simple, everything is based on. Comfortable life is the goal. knows that life is too comfortable and not good, but unfortunately he knows himself very well, plus life is passable, so he has no motivation. If you want to say that the only thing to worry about is probably to repay the mortgage.
He didn't go much shopping on the street and bought four directly at the place where the saplings were sold. vines. He has two trees, and the rest is sent to Professor Zhao. Just now, Mr. Wang heard that he was going to buy grapevines, so he specially explained to bring them.
Well...... There are also persimmon trees that sell seedlings, which are also two-year-old seedlings. According to people, this. Persimmon trees can bear fruit in the same year.
It's not bad to buy a few persimmon trees, last year Liu Wuye sent that half of the bamboo. The basket of persimmons made the two of them eat praise, and Zhang Qian also remembered that she went to the street to buy some pickled persimmon ashes this year.
"What kind of sapling is this?" Liu. Jun Hao saw that the few silver-white saplings next to him were a little unfamiliar, so he asked.
"Walnut Tree" seller replied simply.
"Walnut trees, different varieties?" He was a little puzzled, the walnut trees on the mountain were generally dark gray trunks, and the color was not as bright as this at all.
"It's the usual walnut sapling in our mountain, this thing is different from other saplings, the bark is white when it doesn't explode, and the leaves have hoarfrost, just wait until it grows."
Last year, my wife led a group of students up the mountain to hunt walnuts, but she didn't catch anything, and she was quite depressed when she came down the mountain. This year, I should also plant two plants at home, so that I can eat them without going out.
"That'...... Bring me four...... No, six, and two of each of the vines and the persimmon trees. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the stone lock also needed to plant some fruit trees on the sandy soil.
When the autumn fruits are ripe, they can eat them at home in the stone lock, and the rest should be very good.
Liu Junhao thought about the peach trees, plum trees, persimmon trees, and walnut trees, and bought a few pear saplings, so that he could get all the types of fruit trees.
When I asked, people didn't pull pear saplings today. However, the seller sees that he is a big seller, and he also has the intention of getting acquainted, and if he really wants it, he can send it over in the next episode.
Liu Junhao nodded in agreement after thinking about it, and asked him to send the pear saplings directly to Lao Guo's beef soup stall, so that he could come over to pick it up when he had time.
There are twenty or thirty miscellaneous saplings, although they are not long, but the mound of soil wrapped on the roots of the trees is quite weighty, and Liu Junhao reluctantly put down the front and back piles of the electric car.
Out of the bazaar, see that there is no one around, use a stone lock to collect, and go home easily along the way.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he released the saplings again, of course, he took two of them and put them in the stone lock, preparing to plant them again when he had time, and he and Professor Zhao divided the remaining saplings equally.
I didn't think so much about it when I bought it, but now that I have entered the yard, Liu Junhao is worried about planting fruit trees again. The place in his front yard is not small, but the east side is occupied by chicken coops, duck houses, horse sheds, rabbit cages, and so on. On the south side against the wall were stacks of reeds, plus a flower pond, plus a few large poplars and neem trees, which were also crowded.
To the west is the fire pool, with a large pile of hardwood on the side and a dung heap near the courtyard wall.
There's not a lot of space in front of the door, but the fruit trees planted there are definitely in the way. The only free places are on both sides of the gate and in the backyard.
He thought about it for a moment, and simply planted all the fruit trees on both sides of the gate.
When the vines grow up, they can build a pergola directly on the top, which is also a good feeling.
Of course, Liu Junhao deliberately left the road wide for driving when planting. If you don't buy a car now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future.
Zhang Qian came back from school at noon, and after seeing the neat fruit trees planted in the courtyard, she praised Liu Junhao for a while. Then she continued her efforts and ran back to the house to surf the Internet, saying that she wanted to buy some flowers and seeds in the courtyard.
Of course, Liu Junhao supports his wife's idea, and the two of them don't cook, so they look it up on the Internet.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but when I searched here, he was a little dizzy, tomatoes, sunflowers, and even dandelions and other common things were sold on the Internet.
Is this also called a flower? Seeing that photo taken by others, Liu Junhao grinned. It should be called vegetables and weeds. And the picture, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a ps, and it's better to choose and choose!
However, Zhang Qian disagreed with his point of view, saying that these are pocket-sized. When they were in school, someone planted it in their dormitory, which was very beautiful.
After choosing for a long time, she finally took a fancy to the mini sunflower seeds. Liu Junhao turned his head and looked at the price: 100 grams of 10 yuan. He hurriedly dispelled his wife's thoughts, the money was not much, the key was that at the same price, he could buy a pound of ripe melon seeds. What's more, seeing that the flower plate is so small, it is estimated that there will be no way to eat it at all, so it is better to go to the village to find some sunflower seeds. It can not only beautify the environment, but also fry and eat in autumn.
Zhang Qian's desire to buy was not very strong, so she nodded when she heard him. However, in order to collect more references, she deliberately posted a help post on the forum on the eighteenth floor, wanting to see what everyone's opinions on planting flowers were.
In the afternoon, Liu Junhao took advantage of his wife's efforts to go to school and deliberately planted all the saplings in the stone lock. After a few days, the inside has changed greatly, all the wild chrysanthemum seedlings have survived, have grown to about ten centimeters high, the stalks are particularly fat, and they look overwhelmingly green from a distance. Dandelions also bloom early with tender yellow flowers, scattered in the greenery, like stars in the blue sky.
These dandelions are the second generation of stone locks, and Liu Junhao picked a lot of them in his spare time last spring. When the seeds are ripe, they all fall to the ground, and they are moistened by spring water, and the germination rate of the seeds is 100%, so they look particularly conspicuous, and almost everywhere is a large area.
Stir-fry dandelions in the evening to try it, and I have the impression that the dumplings made with this stuffing last year are delicious.
Produced by Stone Lock, it is indeed extraordinary. The dug dandelions are all oily and tender, pinched with their fingernails, and they make a noise, and they can't see the green tendons at all.
"Quack...... Quack ......" was looking at it, when suddenly there were a few frog chirpings in his ears.
This thing woke up from hibernation? Liu Junhao turned his head to look, and several large turquoise frogs quickly fell into the pond, and then floated on the surface of the water.
These frogs were not caught by him on purpose, but were leaked by catching tadpoles to feed the eels. When they grow into frogs, they have no predators, and they live quite freely, and their populations tend to increase, and he counted them last summer when he was fine, and there were more than 20 of them.
He initially wanted to catch them, but then saw a frog catching insects in a melon field and dismissed the idea. While introducing the plants themselves, they also inadvertently introduced some insect eggs into them, and the climate in the stone lock is suitable, and these insects grow very quickly. There's frogs inside, just right to catch them.
Liu Junhao dug up a small half bamboo basket of dandelions, and then sent a lot to Professor Zhao's family.
"You bought this dandelion on the street, right, and we have people selling it here?" Professor Zhao just glanced at it twice, and immediately saw the difference. This dish does not have the slightest trace of insect bites and bird pecks, and its size is also pleasant, very similar to what it sells in supermarkets. Just taste...... He had eaten it before, and the wild one was not the same taste at all.
"Let me tell you, don't look at this dandelion looks very good, but it is all grown from pesticides and fertilizers, so it is better for us to dig on the river beach." He explained patiently and meticulously.
What kind of eyes does this old man have...... I dare to say that the things in the stone lock are not good. Sometimes it's a sin to be too good, and people don't think it's wild.
"Take a closer look, I'm digging from the mountains with all my strength, absolutely natural green food, without any chemicals."
"Really?" Professor Zhao suspiciously pinched a leaf and chewed it in his mouth, then nodded.
Feelings can also be tasted...... Liu Junhao was a little dizzy. Before he could sober up, he said again: "Where did you dig it, I'll go with you when I have time." ”
As soon as the words "don't ......" came out, he secretly complained to himself. This is to lead the old man up the mountain, where to find the empty dandelion. My heart turned, and the words came out of my mouth: "I found it in the place where Wukong picked the fungus last time, and the place is twisted and weird, and it takes nearly two hours to walk, and there are many bushes on the mountain, so I may not be able to find it this time." ”
"That's better, I just wanted to see that lycium tree, how many fungus did you pick this time? After a few spring rains, the wild fungus should grow a lot. As soon as he said this, the old man became even more energetic.
He also heard about the miracle created by Goku a few years ago, but he regretted that he was not there at the time.
At this time, Liu Junhao didn't know what to say. Lies are like that, when the first one is spoken, it quickly needs to be rounded with the second. "I didn't pick them, I saw that those fungus were too small, so I wanted to stay on the tree and continue to grow, and then I would pass when I had time."
"Well, call me when you go, and I'll go with you."
"It's okay," Liu Junhao nodded in agreement, and muttered in his heart: I really can't get some dandelions in the stone lock and plant them on the hillside as soon as possible, so that I can fool the past.
In the evening, he cooked all the remaining dandelions, which he had done last year, so it was very easy to make. After putting the green onion, ginger, and garlic and stirring well, Liu Junhao poured a lot of sesame oil into it.
"What kind of food do you cook at night, so fragrant?" My wife happened to be out of school, and she just entered the yard and started shouting.
"You've got a sharp nose, guess what," he sold.
"It must be cool" After cooking for so long, Zhang Qian can also figure out the basic routine.
At dinner in the evening, both of them ate very deliciously, and in the end, all the half bowl of cool dandelions were eliminated.
At the end, Zhang Qian said with an unfinished tone: "There are too few dishes tonight, I'm only eight points full, tomorrow you have nothing to dig more dandelions!" ”
Khan, my wife really feels like eating! In fact, wild vegetables are like this, if you eat them fresh, you will be bored if you eat too much.
"How do you feel even better than last year's, don't you think?" Zhang Qian suddenly said this when she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Well, sort of, I picked it in the mountains." Liu Junhao could only continue to lie.
"Really, are there many in the mountains?"
Looking at his wife's earnest eyes, a bad premonition rose in his heart: "Not much, what do you want to do?" ”
"I'm going to take advantage of Sunday to lead the students up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, the dandelion tastes so good, the guests who come to play will definitely buy ......," Zhang Qian said more and more excited. She is now bent on generating income for students, and as long as there is a "project", she will immediately argue it.
"How can there be so many dandelions, this is no better than finding a shell, you need to run all over the mountains. Besides, I also picked the dandelion because it was good, and the others were not so tender. Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped her. Just kidding, a Professor Zhao has already exhausted himself to cope, plus his wife, even if he gets all the dandelions out of the stone lock.
However, Zhang Qian's suggestion is worth considering, and dandelion is also a pure natural green food. Wait until next spring to plant some in the backyard, and it should not worry about sales.
At night, the two were just about to go to bed, but Zhang Qian remembered the help post sent in the morning, and pulled him up to check.
Looking at the reply below, the two of them had even more headaches. Anyway, those suggestions sound very reliable, but there are so many types listed, and few of them are the same, and in the end, they don't know who to listen to.
Of course, there are many old friends who are also following the post, and their replies are more targeted, all of which revolve around his small garden, and even offer to send them flowers and seeds in a few days.
They can only thank each of these replies one by one. As for what exactly to plant...... Now that it has become a big problem, we will continue to discuss it.
I thought that in a few days, Professor Zhao would forget all about the dandelion, but he didn't know that just after breakfast the next day, people would change into sneakers and come to the door.
Liu Junhao couldn't refuse, so he could only lead Wukong up the mountain. The water seedling chickens in the courtyard are a trouble, Professor Zhao is watching from the side, he naturally has no way to put them into the stone lock, and in the end he can only follow his wife's example and block the waterway with a brick
