Chapter Ninety-Three: Planting
After buying what he needed, Li Jinshu went to the carriage and horse shop in the city to hire two carriages. After paying the deposit and agreeing on the place and time with the other party, she walked out of the city to a secluded place that had been selected in advance, and took out all the fruit tree saplings prepared in the space.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the two carriages arrived on time. After the coachman helped load all the saplings into the car, he waved his horsewhip and walked in the direction of Mingyang Town.
Because of the distance, and the delay of Jinshu in the county seat, when the carriage arrived at Mingyang Town, the sun was about to set from the west mountain. Since the price given by Jinshu was good, the two coachmen did not complain, but drove to Qingshui Village.
Before the carriage entered the village, Li Jinshu saw a figure standing at the entrance of the village on the window. When the car gradually approached, she realized that the figure was Zhao Hui.
The carriage stopped beside Zhao Hui, and Jin Shu poked his head out and asked, "What are you doing standing here?" ”
Zhao Hui looked at her expressionlessly and replied, "Wait for you." ”
"What are you waiting for me to do? Didn't you say you'd be back today? She muttered in a low voice, and then continued to say to Zhao Hui, "Come up quickly!" We went back together. ”
Zhao Hui got into the carriage without saying a word, and the carriage continued to sway forward. Because Jinshu's family is on the west bank of the river, there is no bridge that can directly lead to that side, so the carriage can only stop at the mouth of the small wooden bridge on the east bank of the river.
There are two carts full of saplings, and if you carry them alone, you will definitely be busy until late. So Jin Shu paid the two coachmen extra money to help carry the saplings to the house.
By the time all the saplings had been moved, it was completely dark outside. Ye made dinner, and after the family had eaten, she was busy boiling hot water for her daughter, so that Jinshu could fall asleep early after taking a bath.
I was probably thinking about those saplings, so although I was so tired from the car ride that I was about to fall apart, Jinshu woke up from my sleep on time the next morning.
She was worried that the saplings would die, and she had watered them with some water from the river before going to bed yesterday. I didn't expect to get up this morning to check, only to find that those saplings were still very fresh. But even if it's okay for the time being, you still have to plant the saplings as soon as possible.
Ye had already hired people in the village yesterday, and after breakfast, they came with tools to help.
Set aside the saplings that were to be distributed to the Zhang family and Li Chunlan's family, and the remaining seedlings were all carried up the mountain. It took a whole day for all the saplings to be planted. As for the issue of survival rate, Jinshu did not consider it at all. After all, she had experience in growing vegetables, and she didn't worry about this at all.
After the Zhang family and Li Chunlan's family took the saplings, they also planted them on the same day. Li Chunlan was still a little worried, afraid that the sapling would not survive by then, so she asked Jinshu a few more words.
"Auntie, don't worry. The man who sold me the saplings said that these saplings were very good, and as long as they were planted and watered, they would definitely be alive by then! ”
After getting the package ticket from Jinshu, Lin Chunlan finally put her mind at ease.
Among the fruit tree seedlings planted are apple, peach, pear, cherry, and apricot trees...... Anyway, as long as it is a common fruit tree, the brocade book has taken some out of the space. Now look at the barren mountain behind the house, which is already full of green saplings.
All that's left is to wait. From the growth of the sapling to the fruiting of the fruit tree, the length of time required for each type of fruit tree varies, but it is concentrated in a period of three to five years. But for today's Jinshu, she can still afford to wait for this little time.
