Niu male

In other words, on the fruit forum that Lao Zhou and the others often visited, there were many people discussing various fruits in Niuwangzhuang before, and such posts have always been quite popular.

Last time, the jar organized some fruit lovers to go to Niuwangzhuang. The fruit trees of the old Zhou family have been affirmed by many senior fruit lovers. Everyone has made an appointment to exchange some fruit seedlings with each other after autumn this year. branches.

It's almost October now, and after a while, all kinds of fruit trees will shed their leaves and enter the golden age of grafting and transplanting.However, at this juncture, there was not much noise in the forum, and even if someone mentioned it occasionally, the number of replies was very few.

If these people suddenly lost interest in the fruit trees in Niuwangzhuang, no one would believe it. These guys are probably working hard in secret at the moment.

Thinking about it this way, the guy who planted pears couldn't sit still, and he didn't care about the unsold pears. He packed up and went straight to Niuwangzhuang.

It’s okay to talk about selling pears. Anyway, it’s been selling like this every year for the past few years. Even if he is missing, the family can still be busy. Let’s talk about fruit seedlings. If you miss this crop this year, you will have to wait for many more years. This is difficult to say.

That kind of pear hadn't arrived at Niuwangzhuang yet, but Lao Zhou welcomed another guest. The guest drove a big truck with torreya trees in it.

"...The torreya trees that are more than ten years old are not cheap now. Those of mine have been around for 25 years." The man looked at the group of Hulala people that Lao Zhou greeted, and picked up the torreya trees one by one. Moving under the car, I couldn't help but feel distressed after watching it.

"Don't be reluctant." Lao Zhou smiled, obviously very satisfied with this batch of trees, but said in his mouth: "Now the torreya is only more than 100 per catty, even if there are still vacancies in the market, it is only temporary." Yes, no matter what kind of fruit and dried fruit, only by taking the high-quality route, this business can last in the long run. You have seen our orange seedlings, so why don’t you worry about them, they are all starting to bear fruit, and the fruit they bear is no better than those on big trees. bad."

"That orange seedling of yours is only four years old after all..." And it's still a grafted seedling, not a seedling. It's okay to plant it now, but if you want to continue to breed in the future, there are many unstable factors in the grafted seedling.

"Your torreya is also grafted." Lao Zhou laughed.

"Torreya is originally a variety cultivated through grafting." The other party said helplessly.

"Okay, when the seedlings of our oranges are planted, I will call you to come and have a look." After the dozens of orange trees in Niuwangzhuang were transplanted, they bear fruit in the first year, and Lao Zhou has already used the seeds to grow them. A batch of seedlings were planted, and of course they were grafted with branches. There is no one who grows fruit trees without seedlings.

Those grafted seedlings have been bearing fruit since last year, but the seedlings have not moved at all.Lao Zhou asked on the Internet, and everyone said that this matter is not sure. The fruiting time of seedlings is longer than that of grafted seedlings. The oldest buddy, it is said that from the time he planted a seed to eating the one. It took 18 years for the oranges grown on the tree to grow, but the fruit produced by his orange tree was pretty good, unlike the sour and astringent oranges grown from seedlings that some people said.

"Okay, remember to be the first one to tell me when the time comes." The other party instructed.

"Don't worry." Lao Zhou has always been very trustworthy in this regard.

"I'll take a look at those orange trees again." Right now, I feel so sorry for those torreya trees. He has to look at the orange seedlings, so he can feel more at ease. After all, as Lao Zhou said, only what you plant If they are better than others, they will be competitive. The quality of the orange seedlings cultivated by Niuwangzhuang is really undeniable.

"The oranges aren't very ripe right now, but those four-year-old seedlings haven't produced much fruit. Do you think it's time to pick them or..."

"Don't pick it, don't pick it, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I will go back after a few more days."

"That's a good relationship. I'll give you all the fruits from the four-year-old seedlings this year. If you have time, you can help me take a look at these fruit trees in Niuwangzhuang..."

"..."

This time, Lao Zhou decided to plant these torreya trees on the side of the road next to Niuwang Pond and the small road where the Niuwangzhuang stele came in. There are some shady slopes on the opposite side of the stream, which also belong to Niuwang. The scope of contracting in Zhuang is just that there is a steep slope and it is shady, so it is not easy to grow anything. This time, the torreya is just right, this thing likes yin but not yang.

In a few decades, if you walk along this road, you can see the lush torreya trees growing on the other side of the stream, and there are still fruits to pick in autumn.In a few hundred years, these torreya trees will grow into towering trees.

That afternoon, when the sun was not so bright, Lao Zhou led a group of long-term and part-time workers to start planting trees. By the time they reached the Niuwang Pond, it was already dusk.

It happened that the villagers were relatively free at this time, and many people heard that Lao Zhou had brought in new species from other places this time, so they came to Niuwangchi to watch the excitement.

"This is torreya. I heard that this tree is old and valuable." This means that in the information society, farmers in their ravines can also know about torreya, and the production area of ​​torreya is not too close to them.

"This tree doesn't look small, it must be seven or eight years old?" A villager guessed.

"What about seven or eight years? You should be growing walnuts. You can grow taller in one year. I heard that the tree grows slowly. I think it will take at least ten years, right Zhou?"

"This tree is 25 years old." Old man Luo was planting saplings with others at this time. He was afraid that such a precious thing would be spoiled by these young people.

"Oh, it's been 25 years." Everyone sighed.

"This tree grows really slowly." A teenage doll said loudly.

"What do you know?" the child next to him sneered.

"You know what." The child returned it back to him rudely.

"Stop arguing, let's all go home." The adults thought they were too noisy.

"When this tree is planted, no one is allowed to climb it blindly, do you hear me?" The children in the village are very tough, and they dare not go down the river and up the tree.

"What's so good about this tree? It doesn't grow very high. I can't help stepping on the thin branches." The child still didn't like these torreya trees.

"You don't care if he is stepped on or not, if you dare to climb one, let them bite you." The hammer family has been in charge of looking after the reservoir for several years. At the beginning, they only came here during the day, and now they live here even at night. The meals are all given by the old man Liu Chunlan and Luo, and sometimes by the two sisters Luo Meihui and Luo Meiling, who are close to the reservoir.Every time Na Qiyun comes back from school, he often comes here to say hello to the Hammer family.

"They don't bite people with hammers." The little furry children laughed. The border collies by the reservoir are the most docile, and the puppies in their family especially like to play with the children in the village.

"That was when you hadn't seen them powerful. We used to graze and farm in the northwest, and they were responsible for guarding the house. How can they be watchdogs if they don't bite people? They are pet dogs." Namo Cheng said it at this time.

"That's right, go up the tree to pick some fruit and see if they bite or not?" The adults worked together to scare the monkeys in the village.

"Don't be afraid, I will take you to the hospital for rabies vaccination if you are bitten, and you can sew the meat back after the bite." Lao Zhou added fuel and vinegar to the side, and he felt relieved that the old man Luo and the others were busy planting trees. The one who gave him the saplings is still there at the moment, and he seems to be very concerned about planting trees.

"Liar..." The monkeys were visibly short of breath.

"Hammer, bright teeth." Xiao Shulin gave a light drink at this moment.

"Ho Ho Ho!!!" Hammer and his wife really showed his sharp teeth, let out a low growl from the bottom of his throat, the hair on his neck exploded, and his whole body looked fat lap.

"Woo..." There are a few puppies in their family who have followed suit, and some who are completely confused.

"Not bad." Xiao Shulin fed the two big dogs and a few obedient puppies with homemade dog biscuits, which he carries with him now, and chews a few when he is free.As for the two who couldn't figure out the situation, there were no biscuits, and each of them had one for each of them, so they should behave themselves next time.

"Look, do you know that you are afraid?"

"I didn't say I wanted to climb a tree..."

"I haven't said that I want to climb a tree. You dare to climb a chestnut tree as tall as our back mountain."

"..."

"Look, there are still fruits hanging on this Chinese torreya tree."

"The smallest ones are the ones that just borne this year. The bigger ones are the ones that were borne last year, and the ones that were borne the year before last. I heard that they were picked a while ago."

"..."

These people here are chattering enthusiastically, and Lao Zhou is looking for Luo Wenfeng again. Every time Lao Zhou wants to borrow the strength of those children in their school, he has to start with Luo Wenfeng. Luo Wenfeng knows it himself. No matter what time and time again, he has to succeed.

"I heard that you have been chasing after your class flower recently?" I have to say that Lao Zhou's news here is also quite well-informed.

"So what?" Luo Wenfeng was quite kind.

"Is there any progress?" Lao Zhou asked with a smile.

"Is this just the beginning?" That said, it means that there is no progress.

"Tsk, if there's no progress, just say there's no progress." Lao Zhou didn't save him the slightest bit of face.

"..." Luo Wenfeng twisted his neck and ignored him.

"Come on, uncle will give you a trick." Old Zhou said.

"You want us to work for you again?" Mao Wenfeng guessed right, anyway, this wasn't the first time.

"Why did you go there?" Lao Zhou was thick-skinned: "Come on, tell uncle, what gifts did you give the little girl?"

"Flowers..." Luo Wenfeng's voice was as low as a mosquito's when he mentioned this.

"Tsk, why are you so old-fashioned?" Old Zhou said with disgust.

"Then what do you want to give?" Luo Wenfeng's ears were red, and his voice was soft.

"At least you have to give something innovative." Lao Zhou said.

"What's new?" Luo Wenfeng scratched his head and said, "Why don't you give me some pork from my uncle's family?"

Many people in the town are complaining that Luo Hanliang’s pork is too difficult to buy, and they won’t be able to buy anything later. Apart from this, it seems that there is nothing else that can be bought. His old lady’s restaurants are all open in As for Yongqing, it's not in Buffalo Town, and besides, he doesn't have the guts to take a little girl to his own restaurant for free, let alone whether she is willing to go or not.

"Call it stupid, don't admit it, it's the 21st century, and you still give away pork." Lao Zhou continued to beat him.

"Then what do you want to give?" Don't care if he cheats or not, let's listen to what Lao Zhou has to say first.

"You take this, don't say uncle didn't take care of you." Lao Zhou took out two autumn seeds from his pocket and handed them to Mao Wenfeng.

These are all last year's walnuts, and Houwazi failed to finish Kazuki's walnuts after a year of panning, there were a lot more, and this year's new walnuts came down again in a blink of an eye, and these old walnuts are useless to keep.

"You asked me to give this to someone?" Luo Wenfeng looked disgusted. She was a juicy girl in her teens, not an old lady in her [-]s and [-]s, and gave her a pair of walnuts to play with?

"You know what, these are not ordinary walnuts, only the walnut tree in the back of our house grows." Lao Zhou took a look at the back of his head and said, "From this Saturday, we will sell pigeon food at Qiaotou in our town. There, you know, if you take these two walnuts, you can get two cups of Niuwangzhuang's homemade premium ice cream."

"Ice cream is ice cream, and I also make super ice cream..." Mao Wenfeng muttered.

"Do you want it, kid?" Lao Zhou made a gesture to grab it back for him.

"Yes, I don't want it for nothing." Knowing that Lao Zhou dug a hole for him right in front of him, Luo Wenfeng jumped in desperately. no.

"If you are reluctant to invite a little girl to eat it, you can sell it for money. Our Niuwangzhuang's homemade super ice cream will sell for twenty or thirty cups anyway." Old Zhou Youyou said again.

"Who says I can't bear it!" Luo Wenfeng said furiously.

"It starts this Saturday, don't forget, it's not there yet." Old Zhou reminded him.

"Understood." Luo Wenfeng hummed.

"Where did you get the ice cream?" After a while, after Luo Wenfeng left, Xiao Shulin asked Luo Meng.

"Hey, I just came up with an idea. I want to harvest in autumn and plant fruit trees. Is there no shortage of manpower? Let's go to the mountain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see which trees need to be dug and which ones should be kept. First, mark them. Let’s talk.” Although the kid who planted pears hasn’t moved yet, from Lao Zhou’s point of view, this matter probably didn’t go away, and he has to start making preparations earlier.

"I have to talk to Fatty Hou about the ice cream." Xiao Shulin reminded.

"That's what you need." Lao Zhou also said the same.

Fatty Hou, he really had a taste of wanting nothing before. As long as he had food and drink, he would have nothing to worry about. He had no drive or ambition, and he was not very active in making money.

The situation is different now, she is not married anymore, and has raised a doll with Liu Ruhua.If it doesn't work, Lao Zhou will talk to him later about the child's milk powder money and education expenses, and I don't believe that he can still get what he wants.
