The midday sun was indeed not covered, and it was fine in the woods before, although it was hot but not directly sunning.

And now that he is out of the woods, the sun begins to scorch everything in the world with enthusiasm. Fortunately, Ye was wise and gave each of them a straw hat, although it was shabby, it could block some of the ruthless sunshine.

When they came, they were almost empty-handed, and they could pick up some remote or steep shaded places to walk. Now one is carrying a hoe and carrying a basket, and the other is holding a small sapling that has just been dug up, so it is no longer convenient to walk the way when he came.

I had to honestly walk the road on weekdays, the road full of sunshine.

In this current weather, the longer you spend in the sun, the more likely you are to suffer from heat stroke, and the more likely the tree is to become dehydrated, so you have to go home as soon as possible. So, since they came out of the forest, Ye Feng and Qianyan tacitly agreed that they would no longer speak, but in one go, they opened their legs and walked quickly in the direction of home.

Along the way, there were hardly any people to touch, because no one wanted to work in the fields at this point. Not to mention that the efficiency is not high, and it is also very easy to suffer from heat stroke. If you fall ill because of this, it really outweighs the loss.

Finally walked to the door of the house, both of them looked like they had just taken a shower, and their bodies were wet with sweat.

was about to open the door, but the door opened by itself with a "squeak", and Ye walked out head-on. She saw that the two of them hadn't returned home at this moment, so she was a little anxious.

It's not that she's afraid that the two of them will get lost, she has been to the forest many times. It's just that she remembered that the two of them brought hoes and knives when they went out, and carried the basket on their backs, and she was afraid that they would go out to collect firewood, so she wanted to go out to greet them and help carry firewood.

Seeing that the two of them looked so embarrassed, and in addition to a small sapling in their hands, there were a few bags of leaves wrapped in leaves in the basket and they didn't know what to do, so they wanted to laugh a little. This is going out to collect firewood, it looks like going to play in the woods.

It's no wonder that Ye Shi thinks so, after all, this is the first time Ye Feng has gone into the mountains to look for materials to make bonsai, and it is normal for Ye Shi not to understand.

Quickly let the two of them in, urged them to put away the hoe, the basket and the tree, and then, Ye quickly washed a wooden basin under the eaves, turned around and went into the stove to put the hot water in the pot into the wooden basin, and let the two wash their hands and face and prepare for dinner.

At this moment, Ye Feng and Qianyan wanted to wash their hands and face with cold water, but Ye resolutely did not allow it, saying that it was easy to be contaminated with cold, and they would suffer when they were old.

Fortunately, hot water has its own benefits of hot water, and it is indeed not as comfortable as cold water when washing, but after washing, as long as there is a slight cool breeze, the whole person will immediately feel a lot more refreshed, which is incomparable to washing with cold water.

After washing his face and hands, Qianyan obediently waited for the meal, but Ye Feng rested for a while, and when the air was smooth, he picked up the sapling and hoe again, and went straight to the backyard.

Seeing this, Ye Shi couldn't cry or laugh. The two went to the forest for a long time, but they didn't pick up a single piece of firewood, but they picked up a small sapling and came back.

However, Chen Jixing suddenly remembered what Ye Feng said before leaving in the morning, could this be what he said "suitable for him to do", dare to love is to plant trees?

Thinking of this, Chen Jixing said to the Ye family: "I see that the sapling seems to be Yingshan Hong, what is this for?" If you want to plant it at home, you can't grow it. ”

Ye Shi smiled and didn't talk, but Qianyan, who was stealing his mouth, heard about it, and asked anxiously: "Dad, you said that this tree is not alive, why can't it be planted?" Dad, how do you know? ”

Ye Feng can say that when this tree is cultivated, it will be taken to the city to exchange for silver. If you really can't feed yourself, then what can you do?

Hearing this, Chen Jixing said: "Last year, Master Cen came to the village to collect students, and he said in front of the village chief, saying that the flowers were beautiful to bloom, and then the village chief didn't send someone to dig up a few trees and give them to Master Cen?" Master Cen took it back and planted it in the yard of the private school, but he didn't survive. Later, in order to please Master Cen, several boys went to dig several times, but none of them were planted. It can be seen that this thing is not alive when it is dug home. ”

Ye Shi nodded while washing Qianyan's face, she also knew about it. This flower is really beautiful to bloom, but it's a pity that it can't be planted when you take it home, and I think these ambitions are not suitable for growing at home.

Hearing this, Qianyan immediately retorted proudly: "Uncle said that others can't grow alive, but he can grow alive." The uncle also said that the tree must be planted in the backyard, and when it is alive, it will start pruning, and then ...... Then he took it to the city and sold it for silver. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jixing and Ye both laughed.

These two children don't know where they heard the bad idea, not to mention whether this tree can be planted, even if it is planted, this tree can be exchanged for silver? If this is the case, then everyone in the villagers should go to the mountains and dig up to exchange for silver.

On the other side, Ye Feng took the tree and went straight to the backyard, picked up a shady place and put the tree away, and hurriedly turned back to the stove and brought a basin of water with a wooden basin, and poured some water on the leaves.

After doing this, as soon as I entered the house, I heard Qianyan refute Chen Jixing's words.

Seeing that the two of them were a little unconvinced, Ye Fengyin took over and said, "Qianyan is right, I really want to plant this tree in the backyard." The backyard is close to the mountains, the climate is closer to the environment in which this rhododendron tree grew, and I brought back a few bags of soil from under this rhododendron tree, and I took good care of it, so there was no problem in feeding it. ”

"Cuckoo? Isn't this a mountain red? Am I mistaken? ”

"Oh, this ...... The name of each place is different, we call it cuckoo there, and it can also be called Yingshan Hong. ”

Seeing that the two of them no longer seemed to be so suspicious, Ye Feng said again: "Also, as Qianyan said, I am going to use this tree to make bonsai, and after it is formed, I will take it to the city to exchange for silver." ”

"Bonsai? What is bonsai? Chen Jixing and Ye asked subconsciously.

Although they didn't believe it when Qianyan said it just now, they believed it a little when they heard what Ye Feng said at this moment.

Take interbreeding as an example, when Ye Feng first started talking about it, there were many people who expressed skepticism.

And now, seeing that their sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are growing very well, they are starting to get anxious. Every time Chen Jixing and Ye went to the field to hoe weeds, someone would gather around them to ask about the experience of this plant.

Seeing that Ye and Chen Jixing were a little confused, Ye Feng knew that most of them didn't understand the word "bonsai", and after thinking about it, he explained: "Bonsai is, how to say it, for example, I am now carefully cultivating this tree, and then changing its shape by pruning it to grow into a particularly pleasing shape that we want." After it is formed, it can be paired with a flower pot. ”

"Oh, I see, isn't it a tree in a pot?"

Ye basically understands now.

One spring, when she went to the city to sell corn, when she passed by Lingyun Building, the largest restaurant in the city, through an open window on the first floor, she saw a shelf near the window, and there was a pot on it, just as Ye Feng said, "a flower tree planted in a pot with a good shape and a pleasing eye".

From this point of view, what Ye Feng just said was not all nonsense.

However, that thing looks like it has a fairy spirit, and it's weirdly handsome. And the tree in front of me, thin and thin, doesn't look like it.

However, Chen Jixing felt that it was reliable, he had also seen those so-called bonsai, and Ye Feng said that he had dug back a few bags of soil from under the tree, and at this point, he felt that Ye Feng might really be able to plant this tree.

And the tree was dug up from the mountains and was completely free.

If it does, everyone will be happy. If you take 10,000 steps back and think about it, even if you fail, it seems that there is no loss, this is simply a business without capital.

After lunch, although the weather was still hot, the backyard was generally cool due to the large woods in the back mountain and the occasional gentle breeze. Ye wielded a knife to cut off the weeds that were too long and too dense in front, while Chen Jixing picked up a hoe and continued to reclaim the wasteland.

There are too many weeds, and Chen Jixing has to weave bamboo from time to time, and there are not many vegetables and vegetables for planting in this season, so the couple's enthusiasm for cultivating this wasteland is not very high.

Seeing that these grasses were tall and dense, as soon as Ye Shi cut them, Ye Feng stepped forward and tied them up one by one, stacked them neatly under the eaves, and waited for them to dry out, which was the best thing to use to start a fire.

Qianyan saw that he seemed to have nothing to do, thinking that everyone was thirsty, so he took the initiative to go to the stove to boil water, and after a while, he served it in a bowl and brought it to everyone, feeding this one and drinking it, and that one taking a sip.

Originally, this land was not too big, and Chen Jixing and Ye were used to working, and after another afternoon, a large piece of land was reclaimed.

It's just a pity that because there is no sunlight here and it is close to the back mountain, it is not suitable for growing crops. There are many tree roots in the turned soil, no wonder this land is so barren.

After doing this, Ye picked up the sunny place and planted some wead seedlings relatively far away from the big tree, and then carried a wooden bucket and watered it with a scoop, and then began to sit under the eaves and watch Ye Feng plant trees.

Ye Feng first chose a position he liked.

The sunlight here is basically not shining, you must know that the rhododendron is actually a shade-loving plant, and it does not like direct sunlight the most. In addition, Ye Feng also knows that rhododendron peanuts like acidic, loose, and well-drained soils, and the most taboo is alkaline soil and cohesive soil.

Before Chen Jixing said that Cen Fuzi did not plant the wild rhododendrons that the villagers gave him filial piety, it was also related to these factors.

It's just a pity that although I know these common senses, I don't have professional tools to measure them, so I have no way of knowing the pH of the soil here.

It seems that when there are conditions and time, some nutrient soil must be prepared. Otherwise, even if it is planted now, it will be difficult to get it when it is officially transplanted into a flower pot.

Since there is no way to test the pH of the soil, the soil here looks sandy, at least not clayey. After thinking about it, Ye Feng smashed some humus soil, peanut shells from that day, and egg shells on weekdays, mixed them with those few bags of raw soil, planted the tree carefully, and watered it appropriately.

Qianyan looked at the listless tree with its leaves hanging and asked anxiously, "Uncle, haven't we all watered, why hasn't this tree come back to life yet?" Do you think this tree will ......?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, those drooping leaves are because of too much water loss." As long as you spend the night, moistened by the dew, you will be alive tomorrow. If you don't believe you'll come and see it when you wake up tomorrow morning, it's going to be in good spirits. ”

Hearing this, Qianyan relieved his heart.

Ye Feng could see that she was very interested in this tree, but she didn't know that she was actually more concerned about whether she could exchange it for silver.

At night, Ye Feng, who was lying on the bed, had some insomnia and couldn't fall asleep over and over. Today's experience of finding materials made Ye Feng understand that luck is an ethereal thing, and it is impossible to say that there is one, and the more urgent it is, the more it is not.

So Ye Feng decided, he must go into the mountains when he has nothing to do, maybe luck will come one day.

It would be nice if you came across some good seedlings, old stumps, etc., and when the time came to transplant them back, you only needed a little carving to make them look different. Take 10,000 steps back and think about it, even if you can't find a particularly good one, you can meet different types, anyway, you have time.

Cultivate slowly, and you will always get results.

And it's almost cost-free. Anyway, I stay every day, and I can't create any value at all.

I was sleepy even thinking about it, so I fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Feng was still washing his face in the yard when he heard a thousand words of excitement from the backyard. You don't need to look at Ye Feng to know that the tree must have come to life.

After some time, the rhododendron tree was successfully transplanted and survived. Ye Feng looked around it as a whole, thinking about the shape that this tree was suitable for, the effects it could achieve, and so on.

After thinking about it, I began to trim the rhododendron trees that had already survived and began to shape them with ropes. In addition, whenever you have time, you can run into the woods and try your luck.

At first, Qianyan followed every time, but later found that there was nothing new at all, because Ye Feng was either staring at a tree in a daze, or she quickly looked everywhere, and she couldn't help, and she was bored, so she stopped following.

It's a pity that Ye Feng's luck doesn't seem to be very good, and he didn't find a single plant he liked a few times, and he didn't see any stumps or anything.

However, it is not that there is no gain, but I have picked up a lot of fungi, so I will not be empty-handed.

That's not bad, mushrooms are only available this season. After a heavy rain, if you're lucky, you can come across a large area. And this mushroom is delicious, often without any seasoning, add a few garlic is a delicacy.

Therefore, if Ye Feng enters the mountain during the day, it often means that there are fungi to eat at night.

After a few days, the saplings he liked were not found, but Ye Feng picked up a lot of mushrooms and couldn't eat them at all. Ye cleaned it carefully and dried it in the yard, which was perfect for eating in winter. Whether it is soaked and stewed in soup, or fried directly, it is very delicious.

After several days of pruning, coupled with the fixation of the rope, the rhododendron tree began to grow towards the shape that Ye Feng wanted. However, due to the slow growth rate and the lack of a nutrient solution or anything like that, Ye Feng had no choice but to decide not to use the knife on it again.

As a result, Ye Feng spent more and more time in the mountain.

During this period, Ye Shi went with Qianyan a few times, but she went for the fungus. I picked it up a lot before, but it was almost not enough to see it after it was dried. She wanted to pick up some more to dry and prepare.

In winter, there is a shortage of green leafy vegetables, and eating pickles every day is enough to suffer.

Now dry more, and when you need it in winter, take a soak in water, add some sauerkraut or something, and stir-fry it casually is a dish.

On this day, Ye Feng entered the mountain again early. It's just that this time I brought a few more cakes that Ye Shi got up early and a bamboo tube. The first few times I went in and came out in half a day, just in time to go home for lunch.

This time, Ye Feng wanted to go farther, but he was afraid that Ye would be worried and speak out against it, so he didn't tell her, because he only said that he was hungry on the road and wanted to eat cakes. Ye Shi did not doubt that he had him, and Ye Feng had never had any problems after entering the mountain so many times, so he happily made a cake for him to carry.

Before going out, Ye Feng thought about it and pulled a thousand words over, telling her that he would not go home for dinner at noon today because he decided to go farther. At that time, Qianyan was staring in a daze, and she nodded vigorously at whatever Ye Feng said, really not knowing whether she was dozing off or really listening to what Ye Feng said.

As for the bamboo tube, it is used to store water.

Perhaps because the natural environment is well preserved, there is no human destruction, and water can be found at intervals in the woods nearby. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find a spring.

However, for the sake of insurance, Ye Feng still filled the bamboo tube with water before setting off.

It's July, and the sun is naturally very scorching.

However, it is different when you enter the woods, where the dense foliage hides the heat and brings a bit of coolness. The fierce sunlight seeped through the dense foliage, turning into a soft and direct beam, walking in the forest, in addition to a little stuffy, but also pleasing to the eye.

It's not hot, but you'll feel thirsty while walking. But with the bamboo tube, it's not a problem.

Carrying the improved little hoe given by Chen Jixing, Ye Feng looked at it in the east and looked at it in the west, very carefully and carefully, for fear that he would miss it because of his carelessness. When you encounter fungus, then choose the big one and put it in a small basket on your back.

After walking for more than an hour, I have entered the deep mountains that I don't usually visit. The mountain was in the same condition as it was outside, except that the trees became denser and thicker.

In many places, the sky is obscured, and even the sunlight cannot penetrate it.

In some places, because of the proximity to the water source, when he first approached, Ye Feng couldn't help but shudder.

It's a pity that even after walking into such a deep forest, Ye Feng still didn't find any trees and flowers he wanted, because he felt a little tired, he chose a relatively clean place to sit down and rest, took a bamboo tube and poured a few mouthfuls of water, took out the cake and began to eat.

Eating and eating, suddenly, Ye Feng, who has excellent eyesight, found that on the dead branches not far away, there were layers of black things, one by one. This thing is familiar to everyone in later generations, but I haven't seen anyone eat it for a long time, wild fungus.

He had found it in the forest behind the Nameless Temple, but he had not found it in the forest for a while. Now that I'm in the deep forest, I've found it again.

Because of the lack of rain for the past two days, and the fierce sun, these fungus have dried out naturally, and they are so finely and densely attached to these dead branches. Ye Feng happily prepared to pick, the fungus, if it is dried out, is extremely resistant to storage, and in winter, it is also excellent to take it out to cook.

When he took it off and put it in the palm of his hand, Ye Feng found that the quality of these fungus was also very rare.

In his previous life, one of Ye Feng's college classmates went to Tibet during the summer vacation, and when he came back, he brought some gifts to Ye Feng, including a pack of Yadong fungus. Yadong fungus has many characteristics and high nutritional value, which is very popular with people.

But if you look at the appearance alone, the most intuitive thing is that it is much smaller than the average fungus.

And these fungus in Ye Feng's hands now have this feeling.

Ye Feng picked the big ones among them, and only some of the dead branches were too small to eat.

Just as I was leaving, I thought again, generally speaking, this kind of fungus is sometimes very similar to fungi, and since there is one this time, it will grow in place next time it rains. Besides, there are so many tiny ones on it.

After picking this time, I will have to go so far next time, why not bring back this dead branch of the fungus?

Thinking of this, start acting now.

Ye Feng chose a more suitable point and began to dig it little by little with a small hoe. He didn't want to crush the dead branch by pushing too hard.

Sure enough, it turned out that Ye Feng was right, the degree of decay of this dead branch was very high, Ye Feng just dug it gently, Rao was such a big dead branch, when there was a gap, Ye Feng only broke it a little hard, and the dead branch was easily broken.

Fortunately, this dead wood is dry, and the fungus is also dry, so it only adds up to a few catties of weight, and Ye Feng put it vertically into the back basket, and it is not very difficult to carry.

After walking for about a few miles, Ye Feng decided to go back the same way, after all, he didn't officially tell Ye Shi when he entered the mountain this time. In case this girl didn't tell the Ye family, in case they mistakenly thought that they were lost and the whole family went out to look for it, it was not their own.

At that moment, he put down the basket, adjusted the direction of the dead branches, and prepared to go back.

Unfortunately, at the moment of bowing his head, he found a red fruit tree.

This kind of red fruit tree does not grow very tall in the first place, generally speaking, the highest is about one meter high, and the short one is only a few tens of centimeters, which is very suitable for making bonsai common plants.

Even better, after a certain level of growth, the tree no longer grows taller, but begins to develop horizontally. In his previous life, Ye Feng had cultivated a pot of red fruit tree bonsai, but because it was too beautiful, he was finally snatched by a junior sister.

However, although red fruit trees are suitable for bonsai, it does not mean that they can be left without modeling and pruning. Since this plant generally develops horizontally. Therefore, if you don't prune, it is easy to grow very scattered, and if you are a little older, you can even grow into a piece.

At this time, Ye Feng was very happy in his heart, not only found the fungus, but also found a malleable talent.

That's the biggest takeaway in a while.

This red fruit tree was arguably the most satisfying tree he had ever had in a long time. Red fruit trees almost do not pick the soil quality, as long as it is not extremely alkaline and acidic soil, or drought and flooding, a little attention can grow particularly well, and the survival rate is also very high.

It seems that going into the mountains is the best way to find good materials.

In the forest near the village, it is difficult to find the materials you want because of the great damage and the fact that the trees are the main source of firewood for the villagers. Even if there were, it was probably chopped down as firewood.

The author has something to say: Confused, skip chapter 28 directly, and release chapter 29. Chapter 28 is now added.
