Chapter 132: The documents of the imperial court have come down
"Persuaded?"
Qi Lele shook his head: "No, I originally saw my mother crying sadly, but I wanted to persuade her. However, after seeing him, I didn't want to persuade him."
"That's up to him, it's not a three-year-old child, and he doesn't need others to decide his life for him."
These words reached Qi Lele's heart, and the last trace of hesitation in her heart was blown away.
Xie Zi'an said again: "This morning, Uncle Liu said that the land has been almost cultivated, and it should be possible to plant grape seedlings."
"Then let's go back quickly, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Xie Zi'an smiled: "It's my mistake, I will report it to Mrs. in time next time."
Qi Lele glanced at him, and his tone was a little coquettish: "You are poor!"
Xie Zi'an chuckled.
When the two returned home, Liu Hongru's family was already waiting, and Qi Lele did not hesitate, and immediately took out the grape seedlings from the cellar with them.
There are many ways to plant grapes, such as cuttings, strips, grafting, and container seedlings, in addition, there are also seedlings raised directly with seeds.
Worried about affecting the preservation of grape seedlings, Qi Lele only took a cursory look, but he didn't expect that the grape seedlings sent by Xie Zi'an's friends had both seedlings spawned by seeds and cuttings for cuttings.
Qi Lele led a few people to pick out the grape seedlings that had been wilted, roughly bundled them, and then put them in clean water to soak, and she poured some spring water into them with the help of adjustment.
As for the cuttings, they are taken from the pure varieties and robust vines, and it is not enough to soak them in water, but also to promote the roots to ensure the success rate of the cuttings.
Qi Lele can't get the nutrients such as rooting powder needed to promote roots for a while, but she has spring water to cheat!
"This cuttings need to be trimmed a little more."
Liu Hongru said, "The young lady just orders."
Qi Lele picks out one, cuts it into 2 to 3 bud branches, and then cuts it flat at the top bud more than half an inch, and the lower end is cut obliquely at about half an inch below the bud.
Liu Hongru remembered it after reading it once, and began to prune it.
After pruning, tie them neatly into bundles and soak them in clean water.
"Young lady, how long does this take to soak?"
Qi Lele sighed: "If the seedlings are planted, they can be planted directly tomorrow morning, and the cuttings will wait for the day after tomorrow."
"Okay."
After handling the seedlings, Qi Lele went to the vineyard again, I didn't see it for a few days, there were some new changes here, the lakeside water pavilion seemed to have been completely built from the outside, and the furniture inside was also half done, exuding the unique fragrance of bamboo and wood.
As for the vineyards and watermelon fields, they have also changed, and the spring canals that lead from the mountains are already paved with large and small round stones, and the roads on both sides are paved with cobblestones, which has a unique pastoral flavor.
Qi Lele sighed twice in his heart, and he didn't forget his business in the end.
The vineyard has been carefully organized, and when you get a little closer, you can vaguely smell the smell of organic fertilizer, Xie Zi'an paused: "I'll go over there."
Qi Lele reacted quickly, pursed his lips and chuckled, "Go ahead."
Xie Zi'an looked at her deeply, and then turned around and walked away.
Liu Hongru and the others had already turned around, as if they didn't know anything.
Based on her experience in growing grapes in the space, Qi Lele combined with relevant books to set the row spacing and plant spacing, and said: "When planting, we need to dig a planting pit nearly a foot deep, place the seedlings in the center, and then fill them with fine soil, and finally gently lift the seedlings so that their roots are in full contact with the soil, and finally water to create moisture."
"Later, we will prepare some thin bamboo strips, and at night, we will have to cover them with a cloth to keep warm and moisturize and promote rooting and germination."
"Okay."
On the second day, Qi Lele got up early in the morning, first carefully inspected the soaked seedlings, and with the blessing of the spring water, he saw that the seedlings that were still wilting yesterday were visible to the naked eye at this time
When I was full, I couldn't help but feel good, and I began to inspect the plants one by one.
For the root system with poor growth, it is necessary to prune it appropriately, and the rotten roots, dead roots and the like should also be cut off.
Liu Hongru and his wife stayed behind to help Qi Lele pick the seedlings, and his son, daughter-in-law and grandson all went to the vineyard, planning to plough the land again before planting, and Chang Qingyun also brought a few people to help plant grapes.
During this time, the family's cotton seeds and rice seeds had been planted in the seedling field, and it cost a lot of silver just to buy white cloth.
On this day, the documents of the imperial court finally arrived in the county seat, and in the evening, Li Zheng summoned everyone again with a heavy face, and the previous rumors were confirmed, and everyone knew that the imperial court had started a war with foreign countries. In addition, there is another thing that is closely related to everyone, the imperial court wants to recruit soldiers!
A shadow cast over everyone's hearts.
Qi Lele's heart was also heavy, and even the joy of sowing seeds was suppressed.
"It's okay, this time it's just to collect money to supplement the military salary just in case, even if you are conscripted into the army, you won't be sent to the battlefield immediately."
Qi Lele nodded: "I'm afraid the food has risen a lot now, right?"
"Don't worry, the price of the food we set will not rise, and it will arrive in a few days."
Qi Lele was still a little uneasy: "Why don't you let the craftsmen build up the livestock shed first and then repair the yard?"
Xie Zi'an took her hand into his palm: "I discussed with them yesterday, the work of the other family in their hands has been completed, and tomorrow we can mobilize some more people to come over to do things, and the shed and yard will not be delayed."
"That's good, I don't know if the price of cattle and sheep will rise."
"The buffalo had already been ordered when Uncle Wang went last time, and the ewes and lambs had also placed deposits, but the specific amount to buy still had to wait for the lady to decide, so even the price increase would not affect us."
Qi Lele was slightly stunned, and then remembered that when Wang Yuzhong went out before, she had already handed over the purchase of cattle and sheep to him, so that he could directly place a deposit and quote the minimum amount.
Thinking about it like this, Qi Lele felt a lot more down-to-earth.
Although she also has a lot of fruits and vegetables in her space, it is only relative to her alone, and for this large family, the ones she hoards are not enough.
Qi family.
Qi Dadao: "The third child is a restless character, if he wants to join the army, let him go, and you can't control him for the rest of his life."
Chen also seemed to accept his fate: "A good home, I feel like I'm about to break up."
"Why did you disperse? Siya married a good family, and the second husband and wife are down-to-earth and willing to work in their relationship, so the eldest daughter-in-law is gone, he is still young, just go back and marry another one. The third child went to be a soldier, maybe he could be like the ancestor of the Qi Baojiang family in the future?"
Chen Shi said angrily, "You think it is beautiful!"
Qi Da patted her on the shoulder: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you have to learn to think about it, our family may be better."
Chen couldn't help but think of the fact that he had broken up Qi Xiaojin and Du Lanqiu again, and regretted it for the umpteenth time in his heart.
"Okay, okay, don't think so much, tomorrow morning, let's go and bring the piglets back, save the trouble, Siya is more, go back and see if we can hold a few more."
Chen nodded: "When I come back, the chickens will hold a few more litters, and I estimate that Siya is also lacking, but she is not embarrassed to open her mouth with us, she has too many families."
"Whatever you want, put aside the work in the field for a while, get these ready first, and let the boss go with us." Fun Cabinet
"Okay."
The same conversation has taken place between almost every couple, and in the face of war, everyone seems to subconsciously want to stock up on food.
