Chapter 67 67. Nursery for food
Song Tan raised his eyebrows and looked over with clear eyes. Zhang Yanping felt that the familiar good-tempered cousin in front of him not only changed his personality, but his eyes seemed to have insight.
But soon, a very tolerant smile appeared on Song Tan’s face:
“Brother Yanping, do you have any recommendations?”
Zhang Yanping is a little unnatural.
When it comes to plants with thorns that can be used as protective walls, there are actually many choices. However, Zhang Yanping’s comprehensive ranking first excluded a series of plants that can be found in most nurseries, such as wolfberry and sea buckthorn.
Of course, purely in terms of protective power, these plants are indeed not as good as Golden Cherry.
This thing looks completely unreasonable, with large and small thorns growing together, and furry thorns all over the body.
From leaves to fruits, nothing is innocent.
The most important thing is that its branches are flexible and long, the vines are intertwined, and the old branches are still very hard. He's actually not short yet!
If this grows into a protective layer, it is called a tall and thick one. It's one that can't even tear open a single slit even if you use big scissors for a long time.
If someone can dig into this, he can truly be called a warrior, and he wouldn’t recommend it randomly.
It’s just that now his little cousin seems to understand in her heart, which makes him feel a little embarrassed because of his shamelessness.
However, this did not affect his continued thoughts:
“You see, it’s hard to find a golden cherry tree nursery, right? But you, my cousin, happen to know such a nursery.”
Getting closer, Zhang Yanping’s white and round face looked particularly sincere.
“But, Tantan, look at it, cousin, this is also a skill for me, right? Don’t be like my mother and think I’m just playing around.”
“My relative, I don’t want your agency fee. Just ask me to stay and eat well in my hometown during this period - except for working in the fields.”
Song Tan also smiled: "Brother Yanping, if it's normal, I would definitely promise you. But don't forget that when you came back to the village, you were sent to labor reform."
"If you don't work, you won't be able to stay here for a few days, because my aunt will definitely think that you are delaying our work."
Look at Brother Yanping, how strong he is! Not wielding a **** is simply a huge waste.
Song Tan is also good at tempting:
“Cousin, there is no heavy physical work in our family now, it’s all trivial work.”
This is true, and the next step is to breed tea, pick vegetables, and dig trenches to pick tea.
Oh, I have to dig another hole to plant cherry blossoms, feed pigs, chickens, ducks, and educate puppies.
Generally speaking, these tasks are much easier than digging mountains.
Song Tan mainly wants to proceed step by step.
Digging trenches today, going up to the mountains to plant golden cherry blossoms tomorrow, and then going to the fields to transplant rice seedlings...isn't that too much?
Hence her voice became even more seductive:
“When you go home, my aunt will dislike you every day. You are the one who found the source of the fruit at home, but she still thinks you are just eating for nothing. Are you feeling aggrieved?”
This is not because the aunt and uncle are harsh to their son, but mainly because people of their generation feel that as long as they don’t work hard, the path is not serious.
As for finding a channel to import fruits...what channel? The purchase price is so expensive! If the market hadn't been so hot, the overly honest couple wouldn't have dared to try it.
"But it's different here. My mother likes you, you only need a little help, and you will definitely be treated first-class at home!"
“Besides, you also know the taste of the vegetables in my field. Isn’t it worth just shaking it a little and getting three big bowls of such good food?”
He also knew in his heart that if he didn't work every day at his aunt's house, let alone his own mother, his aunt's family would be overwhelmed. After all, they were really busy.
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Qiaoqiao said that there are still purslane buns at home. You can heat up two more for me. If they taste good, I will contact the nursery for you later."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Tan Tan, in fact, this thing can be cut, and you can also sow it. It is very simple to grow. If you are not in a hurry to protect the forest, go find a tree in the wild during this weather, cut it in sections, and wait for two days." Three years is enough.” Song Tan was helpless—cutting would work, but she couldn’t grow it all at once if she used spiritual energy to induce it.
"It's quite urgent. The chestnut forest is far away and the area there is large. It's almost four acres of land and there are more than 500 chestnut trees."
This one is not that big in the local area, because as far as the eye can see, there are many larger chestnut forests on the rolling hills.
It’s just that as time goes by, many farmers no longer rely on this to make a living, and everyone’s attitude towards chestnuts has become more perfunctory.
Some were cut down, and some were still left, but they were not taken care of much.
In Song Tan’s memory, when she was a child, whenever the chestnuts were about to mature, she would often go up the mountain to keep an eye on them to prevent anyone from stealing them.
But now, when you are mature, you are mature, and no one will look at it twice.
If someone comes to town to buy some chestnuts, just buy some chestnuts to sell. If you don’t have any, forget about it.
After all, every household really doesn’t have much strong labor left.
Those who are able to work, many people have already spent money to work during the season when chestnuts are ripe.
There is not even fertilizer in the forest. It is really difficult for farmers to make money and they are powerless.
"Now our family has no manpower to take care of it day and night. Black fungus and white fungus only occupy part of the forest. We will need to plant other species in the future - how can we have time to wait for the golden cherry blossoms to grow up? Buy mature plants first. Bar."
Zhang Yanping frowned: "If it can grow in one year, then it will take three to five years to grow a large seedling - the price is not low."
“Especially you need the original species with thorns. Nowadays, in large-scale cultivation, most of the species are cultivated without thorns.”
“It turns out that one tree costs about fifteen yuan. How many trees do you want?”
Song Tan thought about the border area of the chestnut forest. If there was spiritual energy, the adult plants could be planted sparsely. There were two layers inside and outside the fence, with one plant staggered every two meters on each layer.
“Two hundred trees in total are enough.”
Zhang Yanping thought for a while and then hesitated: "Tan Tan, your investment in farming is not small. Do you plan to keep doing it?"
He didn’t believe that Song Tan was lying to his mother, saying he would rest at home for a while and plant some land...
Song Tan nodded:
“Brother Yanping, don’t worry about money. I’ve been selling vegetables every day during this period. The milkvetch you ate today costs twenty yuan a pound.”
The money from selling wild vegetables was all spent on this pickup truck. Ziyue milkvetch has been sold for several days, and another ten or twenty thousand has been recorded.
With the addition of out-of-town and large-scale transactions, it will not be a problem to continue to earn another 30,000 yuan.
Although Song Tan has many things to do, the overall investment has actually been paid back one after another.
Not to mention the tea! This season's spring tea is enough for their family to make money.
Zhang Yanping did not express surprise at the 20 yuan dish, nor did he think Song Tan should come back to farm. Instead, he nodded:
“It’s worth the price. Just have a plan in mind.”
Then he picked up the phone without hesitation: "I will help you contact the nursery now."
“By the way, hurry up and heat up two of those purslane buns for me.”
My cousin is a serious person, capable, and even very reliable, but he is a bit lazy.
