Chapter 290: Planting Trees

The face that has been conjured up, the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are very beautiful, but the body is a Michelin, not to mention the chubby, Bai Shengsheng's circle, very cute, this looks good, at least it doesn't look seepable. Looking at the smile on his master's face, the white snake endured his anger and stretched out two fingers,

"Two bottles, or I'll change back, huh."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you two bottles, but I have one condition, when we leave the island, you still go out and guard." For a while, I can't find anyone.

waited until it was dark, and my grandfather returned home in a hurry, and at first glance, he had drunk too much wine and his face was full of red light. Wen Jin said: My grandfather's friend is the one with the surname Duan.

"No wonder I can't ask around, it turns out that he has never left the island, if there is anything in the future, we can help as much as possible, my grandfather learned that your mother was gone, if it wasn't for his enlightenment, I would almost not be able to live."

"Qing'er knows, didn't you ask him, why did he come out of the Shunwang Mansion?"

"He did not approve of the rebellion at the beginning, so he was expelled, and King Shun did not expel him from the island for the sake of many years of hard work, so he escaped."

As he was talking, Ah Shuang led Uncle Zhang's grandchildren and grandchildren back to the house in a hurry.

"Master, look, Xiaofuzi has grown so tall." Ah Shuang happily took his hand,

Yes, it is half a head taller than that, and when Manqing left, he left them 20 taels of silver, which seemed to be eating well, at least they could fill their stomachs.

The three grandparents and grandchildren saw that she was still timid, Uncle Zhang pulled his grandson and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, they had already seen her a few days ago, and knew that this was the county lord's mother.

"Get up, Ah Shuang quickly help them up, no year or festival, there is no need to do this great gift. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have done things so smoothly, old man, sit down and talk. ”

Uncle Zhang was a little frightened, he still sat down obediently, Ah Sheng was also a little cramped, only Xiao Fuzi stared at her with big eyes and looked at her with bones.

The one who went to the island that day was the county lord's mother? Manqing's neat figure has long been deeply imprinted in the little guy's mind, and he admires her even more at this time.

Ah Shuang brought candy and snacks and made a pot of tea, so that they should not be too restrained.

"Uncle Zhang, is your family still farming?" In order to ease their tension, Man Qing asked casually,

"Back to the county master, in addition to farming, we also went to catch the sea or something, but unfortunately my boat is gone, and I can't catch fish anymore."

"Oh, have you ever been to sea before?"

Man Qing heard him say fishing, and suddenly became interested, if a person of this age has been out to sea, he must have a lot of experience, especially the weather prediction, which is generally more accurate.

"Back to the county, the little old man has been fishing for more than 20 years, but the boat was destroyed by the wind and waves, and he is older, so he makes a living from farming, but the land on the island is too poor, mostly sandy, and there is little food."

"Take me to the fields to see how much farmland there is on the island?"

Manqing had an idea that grain could be bought outside, and if vegetables were transported from outside the island, they would not be so fresh, so it was best to grow a variety of vegetables and be self-sufficient.

Uncle Zhang listened to her words, hurriedly stood up, maybe got up too violently, shook a little, and almost fell, he said apologetically, I have suffered from the wind and cold in the past few days,

"Ask Ah Sheng to accompany you, he was born on the island, and he is very familiar with the terrain."

"It's okay, you rest in the house first, just to talk to Uncle Liu more, we are new to the house, and we want to know more about the situation." Uncle Liu hurriedly stepped forward, introduced himself, and took Chai Hu pills for him to eat, Uncle Zhang saw that he was kind, and slowly let go.

Wen Jin has been looking at them curiously, when my sister went to the island, they helped them, seeing that they were going out, they hurriedly ran forward, and they also had to follow.

When the group left the house, Ah Sheng said that most of the fields on the island are on the mountains, and the ones near the sea are sandy, and there is no growth at all, and the soil on the mountains is also very loose, and if there is a heavy rain, it will landslide, then all the hard work will be in vain.

It seems that it is better to plant crops with short cycles, which can be harvested before the typhoon season.

"We generally grow rice, most of which can be harvested, but in the second season, it depends on the sky," the first season of grain can be ripe in late spring, but basically pay taxes, and only those who plant later can eat by themselves, so most of the land alone is not enough.

"How many people on the island make a living from fishing? Where's your mom and dad? ”

"Half of them have to go out to sea to fish, my father and the family's boat are gone, and my mother also died of illness a few years ago." The boy's voice was low, and it was clear that the topic had aroused his sadness.

Man Qing didn't know what to say, she could comfort this sad young man, she thought of Situ Xiu, the child who also had both parents dead, in addition to swallowing this sorrow, he also had to shoulder the burden of avenging his father, in those years, life was definitely not easy, life was just good and life and death were unknown.

"Look, county lord, there is a paddy field in front of you, and my family's land is also over there." Xiaofuzi is so young that he only has a vague impression of his parents, and in his world, his grandfather and brother are the most important.

In front of it, there are patches of paddy fields, neatly organized, open up in the mountains, and attract mountain springs, far more difficult than the farmers of the plains, these fields are well cared for, and there is hardly a weed to be seen.

"The rice seedlings are really good, what should you do if you eat vegetables on weekdays?"

"We planted some by the sea, and they didn't grow very well, but they were enough to eat." That is, planting some greens and the like, and other vegetables can't be grown at all.

Most of the trees on Cloud Island are mangroves and willows, but now they look green, and if they are in autumn, they will turn red, like the coconut trees that are common on the island, but there are no fruit trees here, and there seems to be no fruit trees.

"Is there any wild fruit on the mountain? Like lychees, bananas, etc.? ”

The two children shook their heads blankly, it seems that there are no such species here,

Standing on high ground and looking at the sea in the distance, it will take a lot of effort to transform this place, especially planting trees by the sea, which will not only improve the soil, but also protect the island's residents when a typhoon comes.

"I will ask someone to bring some fruit tree saplings, and in the future the island can also grow sweet fruits, you go back and tell everyone, if anyone is willing to go to the beach to plant trees, like this mangrove, planting a seedling, can go to the county lord's mansion to receive a hundred dollars, there is no limit to the number, but each tree must have a distance, no, is the distance between the arms."

Ah Sheng listened to her words and was very puzzled, this kind of tree grows very tall, but the trunk is not straight, and it cannot be used to build houses or furniture, but it is just beautiful and green, why should the county lord spend money to plant it?

"This kind of tree can fix the sediment on the beach, and if it becomes a forest, it can also withstand some typhoons, and the people who live in it don't have to worry about their houses being blown down."
