The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

In mid-September, the corn in the fields of the people in the village of the two surnames was thick, the ears of sorghum were red, the branches of millet and wheat were bent, and the roots of sweet potatoes and potatoes were full. It looked like a bumper harvest.

Although the people in the village don't expect the harvest in the field to live, but this does not reduce their expression of satisfaction for the upcoming harvest.

This year, the weather is good, there is no disaster, no harm, no drought, no waterlogging, the farmers in the land are doing well, and the special products on the mountain are also a steady stream.

The roses in the newly built flower sheds on the mountain here in Liangxing Village have finally successfully passed the seedling stage. Under the careful care and scientific management of the owner, the roses are flourishing with luxuriant branches, deep roots and strong stems. It can be seen that they can bloom well look.

At this time, with the strong vitality of the rose, there will be few dead seedlings. As long as the daily management and protection from diseases and insect pests are done well, this stage can be said to be the easiest time for flower growers.

Zhou Quan, who finally had some free time, returned to the front desk of the B&B, but he did not forget about the affairs of the flower shed while helping out. He has been observing and exploring the business model and sales of the flower company from the beginning to the end. channel.

This day, Zhou Quan was looking at the very popular flower bookings in the south and big cities in recent years at the front desk of the hotel. As a young man who often uses the Internet, he certainly knows the benefits of this booking service, so he has been paying attention to it for a long time.

Originally, he wanted to try it out, but he thought it was a bit inappropriate for the two surname villages, at least the current two surname villages.

Liangxing Village is the largest fresh-cut rose planting place in Phoenix City. It harvests more than 200 million flowers every year. If this amount is absorbed by the more retail sales model of flower booking, Zhou Quan worries that it will not be enough.

The two surname villages in Phoenix City need to seize the market, and there are no cold chain vehicles in their villages in other cities, and the price of cold chain services by mail is relatively high, and the price is not competitive with local flower shops in other cities.

So even though he was envious of this market, Zhou Quan felt that he still needed to act cautiously.

Tomorrow is a day for Chef Bao and Zhou to take a full rest, but tomorrow is a day once a week to pay the suppliers.

In order to have more time to rest tomorrow, Zhou Quan planned to put out the ledger today.

Halfway through the computer, the head of the two surnamed villages, his uncle, came in from the gate.

Zhou Quan was a little strange, you must know that except for the few days just opened, his cousin rarely came to the B&B, saying that he didn't want to delay their business.

Village head Chen walked around the stone tables and chairs in the yard, who was wearing old men's shoes, and looked towards the kitchen. When he found that everyone was busy, he walked in again.

The cousin of the Chen family, who was holding the front desk, took off the straw hat on his head and fanned himself, asking, "Ah Quan, do you have time with Ah Huang next Tuesday?"

Hearing this, Zhou Quan silently flipped through the duty schedule at the homestay and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. The hunting team from the Municipal Forestry Bureau will come to our village next Tuesday. The village plans to make some arrangements. After ordering the meat and vegetables, there is no one to handle the spoon. I think that if the village wants to say who has the best craftsmanship, it must be Bao. It's best if he has time, I'm looking for someone else if I don't have time."

"A hunting team from the Forestry Bureau? What are you doing in our village?"

Doing forestry in Phoenix City is an easy job. Although there are many mountains and forests, there are no virgin forests on the mountains, and they are all artificial forests planted later.

These trees planted on the mountain are all for water and soil conservation. Basically, they are all pine trees, and few of them grow tall and mature, so few people think about them.

The biggest benefit these pine forests bring to the surrounding people is that there are more mushrooms on the mountain, and more weeds, there are more places to graze.

However, since the closure of the mountains for forestation more than ten years ago, grazing is not allowed on the mountains. In this way, there are fewer people going up the mountains except for farming and picking mountain products.

Without human interference, the ecology in the forest on the mountain has recovered a lot.

After Zhouquan came back, he went up the mountain and could often see fleeing pheasants and hares from a distance. You must know that when he was a teenager, these things were almost eaten up by the surrounding villagers.

At that time, catching rabbits and pheasants on the mountain could be fun for a day, but now those guys are running around around the village.

Hearing the nephew's question, the uncle put the straw hat back on his head and said, "It's not because of those hares and pheasants flying around all over the mountains. You said those guys are eating grass and eating grass on the mountains." How good it is to eat caterpillar grass seeds, and now every family in the village has a better life, and no one is going to make a fuss about them, unless there is a tooth-beating festival during the Chinese New Year, otherwise no one in the village will go to the mountains to trap rabbits and pheasants."

"But in the end, we didn't provoke them, but those guys came to harass us. I don't know why the fields on the mountain have caught their eyes. In spring, they dig the soil to eat seeds, and in summer, they go into the fields to see young crops. , In autumn, we directly eat the grown grain. As for the half-acre oil planted by your aunt Chun, the squirrels and rabbits ate a lot of sunflower heads last night, and she was so angry that she scolded all morning this morning. "

"Maybe it's because the villagers don't like to provoke them, so those guys are willing to live on the mountains near our village."

Zhou Quan used an affirmative sentence in this sentence, because he felt that there were many wild animals on the mountains near the village, and it was definitely related to the fact that the villagers of the two surnamed villages rarely harmed them.

Those pheasants and hares on the mountain are not part of the list of terrestrial wild animals protected by the state, although they are not protected animals, or have important economic and scientific research value. After years of propaganda, they dare to kill There are really not many people who are taking it out for sale.

However, when I am greedy in private, there are still cases where I go up the mountain to catch a few stewed ones at home. Basically, as long as it is not too much, I just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

The villagers of the two surname villages are relatively well-off, so they seldom think about these little things except for the New Year’s Day. In their opinion, the rabbits and pheasants on the mountain are not easy to catch, and they are unpalatable if they are not cooked properly. It's not as fragrant as those meat rabbits and old hens raised at home.

Zhouquan felt that perhaps it was for this reason that there were more and more hares and pheasants on the hills near their village.

Those rabbits and pheasants are not stupid after all, they can still know which is safer.

Originally, this was not a big deal, but as the number of hares and pheasants on the mountain increased, the space for them and human activities gradually began to overlap.

Under normal circumstances, rabbits and pheasants seldom appear near human villages. In the past, the two surnamed villages could only be planted on the far mountain, and the seeds and young crops would be damaged by them. Patronized by these guys.

In spring, pheasants dig up the land and eat the seeds planted in the ground. In summer, rabbits jump into the ground to eat the young crops that are growing well. In autumn, the mature grain is destroyed. coveted by both sides.

Pheasants during the day and rabbits at night, these two groups of guys are just as agreed upon, and their shifts seem to change.

In the two surname villages, the food spoiled by these guys this year accounted for more than one-tenth of the village's cultivated area of ​​crops. The loss of each household was a few hundred yuan less, and thousands of yuan more.

Although the money is not a serious injury to the villagers of the two surname villages, and they don't point to the grain harvested in the field to make a living, the villagers are not willing to let rabbits and pheasants spoil the things that have been planted so hard. .

Even so, the attitude of the villagers towards those guys is still restrained, and it was last week that really broke out the conflict.

For some reason that day, a wild rabbit got into a flower shed that had just been built by a villager's house.

The rabbit not only broke the temperature and humidity measurement and alarm equipment in the villagers' flower shed, but also bit a few flower seedlings. If people hadn't discovered it early, maybe that guy would cause some trouble in the flower shed.

Now the villagers quit. A few flower seedlings are a trivial matter, and the alarm device can still be repaired if it breaks down. But what if the rabbits come here often after finding out the place, what should we do with the flower shed?

You must know that there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, so how can there be a thousand days to prevent a thief?When people are always negligent, what should we do if we ask them to drill into the flower shed?

The income of a single flower seedling is several hundred yuan when it is raised well, and the moving flower shed is the foundation of moving the villagers. Of course, this cannot be tolerated.

If it weren't for the village chief's good words, the villagers' idea of ​​mixing rat poison with yam and rabbits might have been implemented.

Seeing more and more conflicts between the villagers and the wild things on the mountain, Village Chief Chen is also having a headache. By the way, they are not here in Australia, so how can a rabbit become a disaster?

In the end, the village head had no choice but to go to the town government and ask if there was any way to solve this problem. If the government was left alone, he would not be able to control the villagers.

"I don't know what the town is doing. Anyway, the village committee received a notice today, saying that the city forestry bureau will send a hunting team next Tuesday to solve the problem of overbreeding of wild rabbits and pheasants in our village. It affects the production and life of the villagers, let us do a good job of reception here."

Hunting party?Is this allowed to hunt?

No, not necessarily, maybe they just come to drive, scare those rabbits and pheasants to go somewhere else, like the next town drives wild pigs.

Zhou Quan had heard before that hunting was allowed because wild animals threatened human life and production, but he did not expect such a thing to happen to the two surnamed villages.

Village head Chen was not surprised by this, he waved his hand and said: "It's nothing unusual, but a lone wolf ran over from nowhere in Lishu Village the year before last, not only biting the villagers, but also jumping in the middle of the night." They killed the fat pigs in their pigsty and ate all their internal organs. Later, the county was afraid of accidents and asked the forest police to shoot the wolves to death, and the wolf skins were given to the victim as compensation.”

It turns out that there are precedents, which is no wonder.

"I'll just come over and ask. It's great that Ah Huang has time. Remember to ask him to help the village committee next Tuesday."

While talking, Village Chief Chen walked out. Since it was a hunting team, there should be a lot of people, and he had to go elsewhere to arrange it.
