Chapter 250: Zengcheng hangs green
The next day, Zengcheng Xiyuan Temple.
Ling Ling and Mingxia took their roommates on a tour of Guangzhou. A group of people strolled to Zengcheng Xiyuan Temple.
Ling Ling introduced: "Zengcheng West Garden has survived the only hanging green mother tree in the world. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the monks of Xiyuan Temple relied on this green tree to collect rent, and the annual rent could collect 200 yuan of silver. Later, the ownership of the mother tree was changed several times, and it was nationalized after liberation. Unfortunately, now the mother tree is withering and does not bear a few fruits every year. ”
As she spoke, she smiled meaningfully at Chong Lingmei.
Ling Mei remembered the hanging green that she brought to the school to share, and she couldn't help but feel surprised.
There are so many scenic spots in Guangzhou, Lingling brought them to the West Garden, so it was.
Everyone was curious about this precious hanging green.
Entering the park, everyone first smelled a faint smell of oily smoke.
Ling Mei raised her eyes and looked, it was fatal!
For the sake of economic benefits, the local government built a restaurant near Hanglu: Hangluyuan Restaurant.
Ling Mei watched the smoke from the kitchen drifting straight out of the chimney, and sighed in her heart: In such a harsh environment, how can hanging green grow well?
"Lingling. These are your friends, the new college students this year. ”
A man in a white shirt and black trousers. A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle Du." Ling Ling called, "You have to entertain my friend well. ”
She introduced to her girlfriends: "This Uncle Du is the person in charge of the West Garden. ”
Du Jinghuai smiled: "It's not easy. One of the dormitories is full of college students. His gaze lingered on Xiao Lingmei's face for a moment, and he asked suspiciously, "Lingling, is this classmate's surname Xiao?" ”
Ling Ling was surprised: "Do you recognize Ling Mei?" ”
Du Jinghuai was surprised and asked, "Is it really Xiao Lingmei?" He shook Ling Mei's hand warmly and said with a smile, "I have read the introduction of 'Strawberry Princess' in the Yangcheng Evening News. I didn't expect it to be Lingling's friend. Coincidentally. Mr. Xiao, the newspaper introduced that you initiated the planting of strawberries in Xianyun Six Village. Is it true? ”
Ling Mei nodded with a smile: "I have also studied it for a long time. The geology and temperature here in Fujian are more suitable for the growth of strawberries. This year, in addition to the six villages of Xianyun, the scope of joint breeding has been expanded, and now there are a total of 500 acres of strawberry greenhouses. Next year's sales are expected to exceed 30 million. ”
Du Jinghuai was shocked and admired: "Amazing! His heart moved, "In addition to planting strawberries, Xiao also studies other fruit trees?" ”
Ling Mei was also polite: "I am also a technical consultant of the blueberry breeding center in Xingao Town, a suburb of Guangzhou. This year, their first batch of blueberries is already on the market, and most of them are exported to Southeast Asia. The benefits are gratifying. ”
Du Jinghuai was shocked. He knows about the blueberry harvest in New High Town. And he also heard that the blueberries in the town had not been raised well before, and then the mayor found an expert to turn things around. Could it be that this expert is the little girl in front of her?
Du Jinghuai deliberately tested Ling Mei's true ability. So he waved his hand: "Go." I'll show you how to hang green. ”
When everyone came to the center of the garden, a stout tree came into view.
The main trunk of the hanging mother green tree is as thick as two people hugging each other. There are three stout trees facing west, south and northeast respectively. But the trees in the west and south directions withered, leaving only the branches. Only the northeast-facing trees are still breathing.
Xiaoqin and the others couldn't help but be disappointed: "Why is this tree half dead?" ”
Du Jinghuai has been taking care of this precious ancient tree since he was assigned to work in the West Garden. He stroked the trunk of the tree and sighed: "The tree facing west is a stupid official who nailed a sign on the top in order to declare the ownership of the fruit in the Republic of China, but the fruit was not ripe, but the trunk of the tree in the west was nailed." The trees in the south withered during the Anti-Japanese War when the Japanese army occupied the West Garden. At the time of liberation, only the lone seedling in the northeast was left. ”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Trees are like people, how can they withstand the greed and continuous wars of people's hearts?
Ling Mei inspected the two dead tree holes, frowned and asked, "Have you filled the tree holes with lime plaster?" ”
Du Jinghuai explained: "That year, experts from Maorussia came to see the hanging green. It is recommended to seal the dry holes in the trees with cement mortar. As a result, the tree grew even worse. Later, the lime plaster was quickly removed, but the tree ...... Still haven't been able to recover. Alas. ”
A long sigh made everyone's hearts unbearable.
The golden ingot peeled the lychee under the hanging green tree in the space, and said leisurely: "No wonder I can't feel much spiritual power." It's that this tree is dying. ”
Ling Mei checked for a long time, her brows furrowed.
He looked up and said to Du Jinghuai: "Now there are two ways to save this tree." ”
When Jin Yuan Bao heard this, he threw the fruit and said, "Don't do any work blindly." Hundreds of years old trees are not so easy to restore even if they are kept in space. Look at the furniture of the Tan family, it hasn't been raised yet. ”
Ling Mei said to Du Jinghuai: "While the northeast branch is still vigorous, circle the branches and raise seedlings as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the words "circle branch seedlings" came out, Du Jinghuai knew that Ling Mei did understand lychee planting.
There is only one mother tree hanging green, so the gene of the mother tree can be completely cloned by the circle branch seedling method, and the green variety can be retained.
Du Jinghuai sighed slightly: "The success rate of circle branch seedlings is lower, at least a dozen or so, right?" You see the mother tree is like this now, how dare we make a second? I'm afraid it will make matters worse. ”
Ling Mei pondered for a moment: "I can make some nutrient water to replenish the tree." Wait for the green to recover some vitality before making plans? ”
Du Jinghuai was a little skeptical: "Nutritious water? He smiled wryly. Tell the truth. We don't know how much nutrient water we used. The tree is half-dead. ”
Ling Mei explained: "My nutrient water is different from ordinary nutrient water. And it's a direct infusion, into the roots of the tree. ”
Du Jinghuai was stunned: "What did you say?" ”
Gold ingots listened to the lake and the lake: infusion? The thing that hung on Xiao Linghai's arm in the hospital last time? Can trees be treated like this?
Ling Mei pointed to the root of the tree and said, "I want to make three to five holes in the root." The nutrient solution or rooting agent is directly involved in the sap cycle through the vascular tissues of the tree. It can strengthen the growth state of plants, promote new shoots and new roots and photosynthesis, and let old trees meet spring again. ”
It's okay if she doesn't explain, but when she explains, even Lingling is shocked to hear it: Such a mysterious thing, is it okay?
Du Jinghuai was born in an agricultural college, and although this set of theories is shocking, it does sound reasonable. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head lightly and said, "It's still the same sentence." We don't dare to take any more risks. Xima only hit a nail and withered. You have to put a few holes in the roots of the tree, and even if I agree, the state will not agree. ”
Du Jinghuai had too many worries, which made Mei helpless.
"That's just going to take a slow time. If you believe me, I'll go back with some nutritious water? ”
Du Jinghuai asked: "What is the main ingredient of your nutritional water?" ”
Ling Mei paused: "My family's nutritious water is a secret. ”
Du Jinghuai stopped squeaking.
How dare he casually use nutrient water from unknown sources?
So he smiled and invited them into the restaurant for dinner.
"Lingling, your friends have come from afar, and they are all new college students. Today's meal is my celebration for you. ”
Ling Ling naturally won't let Du Jinghuai break the bank, but he won't have anything to do with him at this time.
Du Jinghuai reserved the best box in the restaurant for them. The view from the window is the garden. The sisters talked and laughed, ate and ate delicious food, which was very comfortable.
Ling Mei didn't bother with hanging the green mother tree. She remembered very well that in her previous life, instead of dying, the tree had spread out and become a forest.
Presumably there must be a master who saved the hanging green.
