Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vine of Peipei
"Didn't you say that kiwi fruits are male and female?" Pei Pei glanced at Gangu Yu unkindly.
"Well, if you're lucky, you'll be able to come across monoecious kiwis. Woman, you know. Gangu Yu looked at the kiwi fruit vine in front of them that they had been searching for a long time and tried to explain, "But you see, this flower is still male and female. ”
Pei Pei snorted lightly, too lazy to be knowledgeable with him, but cared: "Now that the kiwifruit that blooms the female flower is already available, what should I do next?"
"Then let's start cultivating. Gangu Yu pondered for a moment before speaking.
At present, although there is a demand for kiwifruit in the salty continent, this is a high-end demand at the level of magicians after all, and it is of little significance to alleviate the famine. In addition, kiwifruit has more stringent requirements for soil moisture, and it cannot be promoted at the moment, so Ganguyu did not think of planting it on a large scale at this time.
However, it's a good idea to plant one or two to try it out. Gangu Yu found some thick branches and set up a simple support for the kiwifruit vine, which is a necessary condition for its normal growth and hanging fruit. In order to prevent root burning, Ganguyu dug a pit not far away and applied fertilizer to the pit.
In the end, he didn't forget to water the kiwi fruit again, and of course the work was left to Pei Pei to do the work. Looking at her joyful expression, I am afraid that she is already looking forward to the ripening of kiwifruit.
Before leaving, Gangu Yu simply did a manual pollination for all the female flowers in order to be safe. At the beginning, Pei Pei saw Gangu Yu picking the male flowers, and immediately had an expression of wanting to eat people. Ganguyu explained for a long time, and finally made her understand her intentions, and suddenly made a big red face.
"When you can unleash the growth of all things, let's come back and give birth to this kiwifruit!" Pei Pei commanded, looking impatient.
"What about your grapes?" said Ganguyu.
"Grapes?" Pei Pei was stunned for a moment, then he remembered his original intention of bringing Gangu Yu to the back mountain, and suddenly said, "Yes, there are grapes!
"Don't worry, brother knows it. The corners of Ganguyu's mouth raised, and he turned to leave. Seeing this, Pei Pei snorted lightly, stuck out his tongue at Gangu Yu's back, and then followed.
The two soon returned to the vines of Peipei. Gangu Yu took a closer look before asking, "Peipei, your vine is a little old, right?"
Pei Pei nodded: "When I was a child, the high priest's grandmother planted it with me, and it has been more than ten years. ”
Ganguyu didn't joke anymore this time, but praised from the bottom of his heart: "Your grapes ripen in early June, and they are among the best among the early varieties." However, this vine has survived in such an environment and can still harvest, and you must have taken great pains. ”
What, if I didn't want to comfort you, would I be guilty of begging someone to ripen the grapes at this time? What else do you say about early and late ripening! Finding that his good intentions were not discovered by Gangu Yu at all, Pei Pei was dissatisfied, but in the end he just turned into a soft snort, and it was extremely difficult for her to explain the invitation.
However, when it comes to the bitterness of planting this vine, Pei Pei also has a look of emotion: "Many times, I like to stay here alone, happy or sad, looking at the night sky through the gaps between its leaves, I feel like I am in company." There were several times when it was seen to die, but thanks to the intervention of the high priest's grandmother, it was able to keep it alive. Grape yields are low, and I'm usually embarrassed to ask people to spend mana to grow for them. And generally when there is a need to give birth to it, the grapes that produce are also the needs of the family. ”
Gan Guyu looked at Pei Pei and sighed in his heart. This vine is more than just a fruit tree for Prime. This kind of emotion of dedicating himself to the plants he planted deeply resonates with Ganguyu. Originally, he wanted to save trouble and directly buy additional grape seedlings to replant, but at this time he had another idea.
"Don't worry, with my brother here, your vines will only grow more and more lush, and the grapes will be big and sweet. Gan Guyu patted Pei Pei's shoulder and said proudly.
"Big and sweet?" Pei Pei was a little puzzled, "how can grapes be sweet?"
Gangu Yu had a defeated expression, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief: "The grapes are originally slightly sour and sweet, but they are sour and astringent like the ones you planted, and your teeth are sour." ”
"Oh......" Pei Pei muttered embarrassedly.
"Come on, you can look at my brother. With a wave of his hand, the loosening work was quickly completed, and then he added some soil suitable for grape growth, plus some farmhouse ecological fertilizer, and finally did not forget to water it thoroughly before stopping.
He looked at the ten-year-old vine and said thoughtfully, "It's June...... I can't say that I can only grow with everything. Then let's go back first, and we'll do it in a few days. ”
"Hey, tell me what you're going to do first?" Pei Pei said curiously.
"Don't be a curious baby all day, you'll know when the time comes. Gangu Yu smiled slyly and walked away, leaving Pei Pei alone under the vine with a look of disgruntle.
Back at his residence, Gangu Yu fell on the bed, but his mind was busy. He bought a grape seedling in the store and threw it directly into the seed planter. Pest and disease immunity, this is a must-choose. As for enhancing vitality, I heard Peipei's statement today, it is not easy for grapes to survive here, so it is better to choose them together for insurance!
When Ganguyu was about to start cultivating this grape seedling, he had an idea and simply bought another batch of sweet potato seedlings, and only chose to optimize the pest and disease immunity, so he started the cultivation of primary seedlings together with the grape seedlings.
Almost as soon as the cultivation began, Gangu Yu clearly felt that the mana in his body was rapidly decreasing, and he didn't stop until his mana was about to be exhausted, making him sigh that the cost of using this thing was really not covered. After a while, the cultivated primary seedlings finally appeared in his warehouse.
As soon as Gangu Yu's mind moved, the grape seedling and a cultivated detoxified sweet potato seedling appeared in front of him. He looked at it carefully for a while, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can't see any difference between it and ordinary seedlings at all!" It seems that if you don't plant it, you won't be able to see the secret.
After turning around the back mountain for so long today, Gangu Yu also felt a little tired, and he was no longer entangled at the moment. He gathered the seedlings and was about to lie down and cover his head to sleep, but suddenly remembered that his mana still needed to be restored. So he nibbled on another sweet potato to satisfy his hunger, and then meditated on the bed.
