Chapter 178: Fruit Tree Grafting

The next day, Zhou Qi got up early in the morning.

The main reason is that he is so busy that he has to go up the mountain to get his fruit trees, in addition to going to the two textile factories in the village to have a look......

These fruit trees had indeed arrived in Qizhou three days ago.

And Wu Zhitao didn't say a word, she had already hired an ox cart to pull the tree seeds back to the village, I don't know how she told the villagers, anyway, they are all planted on the mountain now.

Zhou Qi estimated that there were more than 100 small saplings here, but the local fruit trees he planted had already reached more than 200, but he was still a little unsure of this grafting method, after all, he had never been a farmer in his previous life, how to plant, how to plant well, he didn't know anything!

I thought about it before, but I thought it was easy! But now that it's in front of him, he's still in trouble!

It can only be according to the knowledge of the present world in memory, according to the gourd to draw the scoop, first graft more than 100 of them, and then see the results!

"Zhou boy, what are you talking about? Can you live if you take this one? ”

Uncle Zhou, the chief of the village, and the villagers were all called up the mountain by Zhou Qi early in the morning, and now listening to what he said, they felt unreliable from the bottom of their hearts!

You said that the tree species you bought from the city have just grown to half a human height now, and they have sprouted some buds, and now you say that you want to take them? Isn't this a toss-up?

"Yes, it's about this position, a cut, this shape."

Zhou Qi first drew a capital T on the ground with a wooden branch on the ground 10 centimeters, and continued to look up and said: "This incision should be paid a little attention, it is almost enough to peel off the bark, don't hurt the wooden part of the inner layer." ”

"So what's the use of this? Can this grow together? ”

A wave of villagers emerged from the side, who had already selected some new tree species with full branches and buds according to what Zhou Qi said, and now asked in their hands.

"It stands to reason that you can."

Zhou Qiying said: "Now our fruit doesn't grow well and can't be sold for money, but if we take this up, we will keep it for next year!" ”

Rumble! ……

As soon as these words came out, the villagers exploded!

"Really?"

"Rising in the day!?"

"Isn't this going to be sent!?"

It doesn't matter if it's reliable or not, anyway, Zhou Qi's ability in everyone's hearts is obvious to all, who knows which book is this recorded? They don't know either! Anyway, just do it!

Only Uncle Zhou has been farming for decades, and he has never heard of this word, so he asked as soon as he became interested: "Zhou boy, are you really reliable?" Why haven't I heard of it before? Did you see it from where? ”

"This method must be reliable, according to the book of Sheng, ten gourds, both raw, more than two feet long, will always gather ten stems in one place......

"But whether I can live or not, I can't say for sure, anyway, I'll try, a dead horse will be a live horse doctor!"

Zhou Qi didn't say anything about the grafting theory of the present world, but only mentioned it slightly based on the historical masterpieces in his memory.

But according to his assumption, it should be eighty percent alive.

Now this September is very timely, neither too early nor too late, the rootstock is neither in the vigorous growth stage nor easy to get out of the skin, and then choose this T-shaped bud grafting method The survival rate is high, and finally it can be determined that there should be no rain within three days, which is simply the right time and place and the right state!

The only thing that worries him is that he doesn't know how to plant trees, and everything he says is just on paper......

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhou was confused and still didn't understand, what book?

But since it's the knowledge in the book, it shouldn't be wrong, so he just said with a bright eye: "It's worthy of Zhou boy, this reading is really useful!" Okay, I understand when you say that, isn't it just planting trees? I don't know anything else, the best thing is to do farm work! Hahahaha......"

The villagers rolled up their sleeves and did it, and now they are all full of expectations and working hard!

After all, when he went up the mountain today, Zhou Qi sent a message, if this tree species is grafted, the salary of 50 wen will not be paid in the future, and all the villagers who participated in planting trees will get 20%!!

Doujin every day! How many numbers do you have to get down?

They don't even dare to think about it, they can't even count it with a finger, anyway, in their impression, it's a huge amount of money, if this is really possible, planting trees in the village is not much better than going to the city to do business?!

But the premise is that the grafted tree species can survive......

Therefore, the villagers did not dare to slack off, and they were extra careful when making incisions and cuttings, and acted cautiously in strict accordance with Zhou Qi's command, for fear of hurting the rootstock and budding!

In everyone's hearts, this tree is now the treasure of their village!

After a busy meal, it was noon, and Zhao Cuihua and Zhao Xiaoyu brought a cauldron of lunch.

Although the villagers were tired and sweating profusely after finishing their work, they were very happy, and everyone finished eating with laughter and laughter, and it was the last step......

The newly grafted branches are tied with strings, then wrapped in cotton cloth and then covered with 10 cm of soil.

This is much simpler than doing cuttings earlier, and in less than half an afternoon, more than 100 saplings have all been grafted!

Zhou Qi attached great importance to this matter, and he stayed in the mountain to help without leaving, and when the sun was shining on the trunks of the trees in the west, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something......

"Emma! I've got to go to the dart game! ”

"I said earlier that we would just come here, you have to be here to get involved, look, this is all delaying!"

Uncle Zhou smiled, since he became the chief under Zhou Qi's recommendation, he now treats him as his own son, and he makes a lot of fun when he talks.

"That's it!"

Zhou Qi sighed and said, "It's too late to enter the city now, and it just so happens that I still have something to talk to Uncle Zhou!" I can't delay anything if I go again tomorrow! ”

As they spoke, the two had gone down the mountain with the villagers.

At the foot of the mountain is a small river, although it has not rained for half a year, but it is still a murmuring water, and after the small river is a large area of ridges in the village.

At this time, it looks green, but it is still bare in the distance......

Several people walked on the path, and in less than a while, they arrived at the small mud house of the Zhou family.

The villagers had already dispersed, only Uncle Zhou and Zhou Liang followed, and now a few people were sitting on the main hall, brewing tea, and Zhou Qi asked the doubts in his heart.

"Anyway, this fruit tree is not good for us here, but I see that our rice is not bad, and the grains are full and distinct, but there is still a lot of wasteland left in the village, haven't you thought about developing the wasteland?"

While talking, several people also poured tea.

Uncle Zhou took a sip and replied: "Yes, you said that the taxes are heavy every year, and we can only work hard if we want to have surplus grain, why don't you want to?" I can't wait for every family to get ten acres of land! ”

"Brother, do you want to plant rice on the other side of your wasteland?" Zhou Liang interjected and asked.

Zhou Qi shook his head, he still had ideas about his three hundred acres of wasteland, the key was that his wasteland was not suitable for growing rice, and he hadn't surveyed it, so he wasn't talking about this problem now......

Most of the land in the village is deserted, and now it is overgrown with weeds, and the wild vegetables that the village women dug earlier are dug from there, which shows that the soil is very suitable for planting.

"Then why didn't you make a big splash?"

Uncle Zhou sighed and said: "The key is that you have also seen it in our village, the young and strong labor force is like this, every year when sowing and planting seedlings, every household helps, and the tired and tired can't plough it, and this rice is not planted when you want to, and you don't have to come according to the season!" ”

In this way, it is indeed true.

There are few men in the pious dynasty, and although peasant women can also do this ploughing thing, most of them are men, but what about labor......

How simple is that?
