"Brother, will we eat rice balls for dinner today?"

Later, the four siblings sat around the big wooden table and made rice balls, and Wanyu asked while learning to make dumplings.

"Of course."

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Lantern Festival, of course, you have to have an original taste, I will eat rice balls tonight, and I won't make anything else to eat." ”

In the 21st century, the Lantern Festival has gradually changed, not only is it not taken seriously, but various delicacies have also replaced the soup ball feast.

On the contrary, it is the Western Valentine's Day after the Lantern Festival, which is favored by people and is popular in China, and the Lantern Festival has become no atmosphere.

At that time, there were only a few cities in China that still maintained activities such as viewing lanterns and charades.

"It's good to eat glutinous rice balls!"

Wanling said on the side, "Our family hasn't eaten tangyuan in the past few years, and I've been thinking about it for a long time." ”

"The dumplings are very filling."

Wanjun said, "I think each of us can eat a full bowl of sea." ”

She vaguely remembered that five years ago, it was her four brothers and sisters, and the last time they ate rice balls.

That year, my parents built it, and the scene at that time is vivid and fresh in my memory.

However, because of the hardships of life at that time, on the day of the Lantern Festival, each person in the family only received a small bowl.

Thinking of the four of their brothers and sisters, the recent scene of eating rice balls five years ago, everyone's eyes dimmed.

Today's holiday, it is not appropriate to be sad, Wang Qiang and Wanjun immediately opened the topic, and the four brothers and sisters immediately concentrated on wrapping the rice balls.

With Wang Qiang's patient teaching, the movements of the three girls became more and more proficient, and soon all the rice balls to be wrapped today were completed.

The water on the large pot on the firewood stove had been boiled, and the four siblings immediately began to cook.

Soon, not only the glutinous rice balls were cooked, but even the ginger syrup was also configured, and the four brothers and sisters began to eat and drink.

Tonight's single dumpling banquet, because it is simple, will end after about half an hour.

With his three younger sisters washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, Wang Qiang came downstairs, carrying a large wooden bucket and a water scoop, and walked out of the house.

At this time, it was still early, and dusk had just arrived.

After transplanting all the bamboo forests around his own mountains, forests and fields, Wang Qiang had to do this every evening every day, as long as it was not rain or snow.

Without it, just use the spiritual liquid bred by the treasure gourd, drop it into a large wooden barrel for dilution, and cultivate and water the transplanted bamboo roots, so as not to let the bamboo roots die because the transplantation time is not suitable.

It was precisely with the spiritual fluid of the treasure gourd that he had the confidence to ask the villagers to cut down the bamboo forest on the mountain and transplant the bamboo roots a month ago.

Otherwise, he would never agree to the old village chief's request to cut down and transplant the bamboo forest before the season came.

Carrying a large wooden barrel, passing by the green pear tree near the big villa, Wang Qiang suddenly found something: "This...... This pear tree is actually starting to sprout? ”

It's only the middle of February in the solar calendar, and the weather is just starting to warm up, so it stands to reason that it will be at least 20 days before the pear trees here in the tea city start to sprout.

He strode up to the green pear tree and watched carefully.

Sure enough, on the branches of the green pear tree, on the bare branches, there is a faint layer of green, which is really pumping new shoots!

"Sure enough! The diluted one-star medium-grade spiritual liquid is very effective against plants! ”

Before he really saw the changes in this green pear tree, Wang Qiang had no bottom in his heart.

Now, judging from these dense sprouts, this green pear tree has definitely undergone evolutionary mutations.

In the past, this green pear tree not only did not have many new shoots every year, but it was not yet the time for the branches to sprout.

"Good! Good! ”

Wang Qiang said yes repeatedly.

This green pear tree is the only plant he is currently focusing on cultivating, and he has watered the diluted spiritual liquid many times during this period, and finally saw the actual effect.

This made Wang Qiang's heart extremely happy.

Now that the miraculous effects of the spiritual liquid have been confirmed, we can focus on cultivating some plants in the future.

For example, carefully cultivate a few hundred-year-old tea trees, a few fruit trees that bloom and bear fruit in different seasons, and so on.

"Well, you can water the last remaining transplanted bamboo root with a diluted spiritual liquid today, and then you don't have to worry about them dying."

He thought with joy, and then turned and strode towards the left of the ditch.

After nearly a month of hard work, he has already watered the transplanted roots of these moso bamboos, except for the last section of more than 100 meters long, with diluted spiritual liquid.

After many observations, the bamboo roots that had been watered with diluted spiritual fluid not only did not die because of the wrong season at the time of transplantation, but quickly regained their vitality and took firm roots in the new land, and the bamboo roots began to spread and grow.

Walking quickly to the destination, Wang Qiang first went to fill a large bucket of water in the big ditch next to him, untied the treasure gourd on his waist, and dripped a drop of spiritual liquid.

Then, carrying a large bucket, he walked briskly to the place marked yesterday, and took a large wooden scoop to scoop water, and evenly splashed it on a row of dense bamboo roots in front of him.

After going and stopping like this, repeating it more than ten times, he finally splashed all the bamboo roots in the last row, which were more than a hundred meters away, with diluted spiritual liquid.

He looked at the large row of bamboo roots that he had cultivated yesterday, and felt the thick vitality in them, and his heart was very happy.

With the demonstration effect of the green pear tree, Wang Qiang knows that after half a month at most, the root system of these moso bamboos will return to its peak state before transplantation.

It takes a long time for a plant to develop its underground root system after it is planted.

Under normal circumstances, this time often takes as long as three to five years!

Right! It's three or five years long.

During this time, they are just a strong long root system, and they do not grow bamboo on the ground.

However, after the root system has grown, it is normal for bamboo shoots to grow to a height of 10 meters in three to five days after they emerge from the ground in the spring when the sun is abundant and the temperature is suitable.

The whole life of the bamboo will grow taller at this time, and the bamboo shoots with insufficient vitality will rot directly.

Once the bamboo grows, it will no longer grow thicker, and its height will basically not change again.

Three-year-old bamboos are considered to be mature timber, and those that are more than five years old are old bamboos, and their color turns yellow.

It is most appropriate to use the word "thick and thin" to describe the growth process of moso bamboo forest.

But that means under normal circumstances.

Now, with Wang Qiang's cheating, he uses diluted spiritual fluid to restore the vitality of the transplanted bamboo roots.

Originally, the root system of these moso bamboos was not much damaged, and the large bamboo forests surrounding the mountains and fields of Wang Qiang's family could quickly return to their peak state after being watered with diluted spiritual liquid by Wang Qiang.

As long as Wang Qiang continues to water the diluted spiritual liquid once, after the beginning of this spring, this large circle of bamboo forests around Wang Qiang's fields and mountains will grow rapidly, forming a large circle of spectacular bamboo forests.

It is precisely because Wang Qiang understands the habits of the bamboo forest that he will have such a big grasp.

After the root system of the moso bamboo forest is completed, a large number of bamboo shoots on the ground will emerge in spring, and its growth rate will be faster than many people imagine.

After the spring bamboo shoots continue to emerge from the ground, as long as there is plenty of rain and sunshine, it is really a day of the same.

It took a lot of time to finally complete this big thing, and Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Letting go of the last worries in his heart, he returned home with a large wooden barrel with brisk steps.

I have to get up early tomorrow and go to the village committee, which will not take a short time.

Therefore, Wang Qiang went to take a bath and rest early to recuperate, so as not to make a mistake tomorrow.
