On the way, Yang Fan learned that the young man's name was Chen Cheng, and his family lived in the western suburbs not far from the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoChen Cheng is a graduate of Agricultural University. At the school, I studied cultivation and tree management. After graduation, it is difficult to find a job in this unpopular major, and even if you do, the salary is not comparable to that of other popular majors. So he returned home, contracted a large piece of land with the support of his family, established his own forest garden, and put some of the ideas in his heart into action.

The three-wheeled motorcycle stopped in front of a lush forest garden. The garden is surrounded by barbed wire and cement poles, and two tall plane trees surround the gate.

The two sycamores in front of the door have extraordinary significance. Because the sycamore is tall and straight, it is the best among the trees and has been valued since ancient times. And often associate the sycamore with the phoenix, the phoenix is the king of birds, happy to live on the sycamore, it can be seen that the sycamore has a noble status.

Zhuangzi's autumn water chapter also talks about sycamores. When Zhuangzi saw Huizi, he said: "There is a bird in the south, its name is Chick, and the son knows it, and the chick is born in the South China Sea and flies in the North Sea, and there is more than ,...... Wutong" The thirty-seventh chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has this description: "The phoenix soars in a thousand miles, not a Wu or a perch; "They all associate the sycamore with the phoenix.

Therefore, people often say: "Plant the plane tree, and there will be a phoenix". Planting a plane tree in front of the door not only has the momentum of the plane tree, but also attracts the good wishes of distinguished guests.

Large trees transplanted on the periphery obscured the view from the outside, and only the lush branches could be seen outside. As soon as Pu entered the door, the view under his eyes was diametrically opposed to the outside. As far as the eye can see, there are staggered saplings that are no more than a meter tall.

The first thing that caught his eye was more than a dozen acres of ginkgo seedlings, and Yang Fan praised it: "Your ginkgo seedlings are well cultivated!"

Chen Cheng, who led the way in front, turned around and asked in surprise: "Little brother also understands seedlings?" As soon as the words came out, he realized that it was not a big deal to know some seedlings, so he asked the meaning of looking down on people, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

Behind the ginkgo orchard is a well-planned and neatly arranged nursery. Along the way, there are really a lot of tricks, most of which are seedlings that are not as high as the waist.

The house is surrounded by a flower garden in the center. Red, yellow, white, purple, all kinds of flowers compete with each other.

Just when Yang Fan felt that his eyes were too busy, a low and strong dog barked behind him, "Wang... Wow..."

Yang Fan turned around, and a fiery red cloud jumped over, and he immediately came to him. The hair is shiny and fluffy, the mouth is as thick as a lion, the skeleton is tall, the height can reach Yang Fan's thighs, not one meter three or four, but also one meter one and two, as strong as a calf. If you don't look closely, you really think that a majestic male lion is coming at you.

"Huzi, quietly. Chen Cheng's half-doting and half-scolded voice came. The big dog immediately stopped barking, and blew like the wind on Yang Fan's legs, but when it reached Chen Cheng's feet, it was like a child coquettish, holding his legs and wagging his tail like a broom.

Chen Cheng squatted down, patted the big dog's body, raised his head and said, "This is the big dog I raised, called Huzi." ”

Yang Fan himself is very fond of big dogs, but due to financial problems, he has not been able to adopt one, and he has browsed many famous dogs around the world on the Internet. There are not many dogs with such a tall stature, and the characteristics are so obvious, it is none other than the Tibetan mastiff.

"It's a Tibetan mastiff!" asked in a questioning tone, but he was so sure. Unabashedly affectionate in his eyes.

"Well, this is indeed a purebred Tibetan mastiff, or I asked a friend to bring it back from Tibet, and it's now one and a half years old. There was a hint of pride in his tone.

"It's really enviable!" Yang Fan sighed.

Chen Cheng stood up and grinned: "Hehe, I don't have many hobbies, except for flowers and trees, I only have dogs." ”

Yang Fan looked at the Tibetan mastiff tiger standing beside his leg and looked up at the sun.

Chen Cheng is also a wonderful person, and he knows what he means when he hears the strings. stood up and said, "Let's go, little brother, take a look at the medicinal herb seedlings." He took a medicine hoe and walked back around the house with Yang Fan.

The main cultivation behind the house is grape seedlings, ranging from high to low, and there are obviously just planted seedlings.

Yang Fan couldn't help asking, "What varieties of grape seedlings do you have here?"

Chen Cheng said as he walked: "In recent years, there have been more people planting grapes, cherries, and walnuts, so the varieties of grape seedlings are relatively complete. There are more than beauty fingers, white bananas, jufeng, vine ren, hu taiba and so on, among which vine ren and hu taiba have sold better in recent years. The main reason is that these two varieties of fruits are recognized by the majority of people in the vicinity and have good sales, so fruit farmers prefer these two varieties when planting. ”

Seeing that Yang Fan didn't speak, he said: "Fuji Ren is mainly known for being large and juicy, if it is properly managed, when it blooms and bears fruit, there is enough water, then when it is ripe, the particles will expand with the change of color, and when the color reaches deep red, a single particle can reach the size of a ping-pong ball." As for Hu Taiba, it is known for its color and taste. The individual grains of Hu Taiba are not as surprising as those of Fuji Ren, but the fruit is tight and firm, and when ripe, the color will turn into a deep purple, covered with a layer of purple light frost, like a sapphire clustered together, which is very gratifying. Moreover, the juice is less and the flavor is strong, and when you taste one, the sweet and refreshing taste lingers on the tip of the tongue for a long time, and there is a tendency to rap the tongue for three days without knowing the taste of meat. ”

"These two are both affordable and attractive, and they are loved by people, and there are many people who even bring them with them. Pointing to the nursery that had just been planted on the side of the road, he said, "That, the eight seedlings of Hutai were out of stock some time ago, and these were only recently inserted." ”

Yang Fan is no stranger to the cultivation of grape seedlings, and has seen it in some literature: the seedling method and the seed seedling method. Both approaches have their merits. The seedling planting method is to cut off the branches on the old tree, and the cutting part is treated with pesticides (mainly auxin), and inserted into the soil specially prepared for seedling cultivation or directly soaked in the nutrient solution, and wait for the roots to take root. This method takes less time. The seed seedling method* is much simpler to make, only need to sow the seeds in a special soil, but embryonic germination, rooting, and seedling formation belong to a complete process, so it takes a long time. However, the survival rate of fruit seedlings cultivated by seeds is high, and the development momentum in the later stage is much better than that of fruit seedlings from seedlings.

The best time to grow vines is not in spring, but in winter. Planting in winter is conducive to the growth and development of rhizomes, and can show good growth momentum in the next year, which can shorten the time for fruiting in the first year. In fact, most fruit trees are best planted in winter.

Walk through the nursery, and behind it is a garden that has already borne fruit. An old man under the tree saw someone coming in, stopped and watched for a while, and then buried his head in his work again.

Chen Chengyao introduced: "That's the old man in our district, please come and help me take care of the garden." ”

After hesitating for a while, Chen Cheng said again: "Little brother, there are some things that still have to be explained to you clearly." I lost money for planting these medicinal herbs, the climatic conditions here are not very good, and these precious medicinal herbs are quite squeamish, and there is no change, so there is almost no harvest. If you want to plant, you need to think twice. ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "I understand your intentions. I didn't expect to make any money from it, I just wanted to give it a try. ”

Chen Cheng didn't say anything more and led the way in front.
