Chapter 38 Peach Tree

However, honey is indeed indispensable.

The taste of white sugar or caramel is too greasy, peach juice itself is sweet, and the two are mixed together. I don’t feel it at first, but if I eat too much at one time, I’m afraid my tongue will protest first.

Now among the flowers on Yangtou Mountain, only the Chinese rose with the most vigorous vitality has flower buds, and the tops of the branches and leaves of crabapple have flower buds. Although Shen Yuan is a little anxious, he also knows in his heart that if it is not for the well water in the space, he is afraid that he will die. Slower, but the addition of the carefully cultivated flower buds and the various wild flowers that have begun to wither on the sheep's head mountain makes it difficult for these hardworking bees to conjure him a jar of honey in a short time.

It's not that there's no way around it, he doesn't have many things in his space, and he has the most peach blossoms.

It's just that it's a little troublesome to operate. How to avoid other people's eyes is the biggest problem, and if he wants to continue the pastry business for a long time, he has to figure out the source of peach blossoms for others to see.

In the afternoon of that day, Shen Yuan drove the electric tricycle that was bought together as a sweet spot and went out. He didn't go far. After coming out of Yangjia Village, the only road directly leading to Huancheng Road, he walked to the left for about ten minutes. By car, there is a large birch forest, lush and lush, it is a good place to cool off in summer, Shen Yuan drove straight there.

The birch forest has been there for many years. Before Shen Yuan went to university, it was just a wasteland. After being rented out, these birch trees were planted. After a few years, it has become a climate now. If Shen Yuan comes home in summer, I have to drill inside to find an open space to be greedy for coolness.

There is a narrow path in the northeast corner of the birch forest, four-wheel vehicles are not allowed to drive in, but tricycles can barely pass. After Shen Yuan entered, he turned a few turns familiarly, and plunged into the center, where there are A stone table and a small gazebo beside it were all built before the birch forest was planted. The owner's house here has not been demolished, so it has been put on hold.

Few people would come here, Shen Yuan parked the car in front of the stone table, looked left and right, the leaves of the birch forest were rustling, the wind was cooler than the outside, and there were still tree trunks going out from the gaps in the trees .

Shen Yuan closed his eyes and focused on the space at ease, space is a troublesome spirit, as long as these peach blossoms bear fruit, don't even think about touching it, but fortunately, the peach blossom trees that ignore the seasons are now in a dormant period, and only the peach blossoms are blooming exceptionally brightly Among the leaves.

Compared with those arrogant and untouchable weeds on the ground, peach trees are considered to be good-tempered. Shen Yuan picked out thousands of choices to find the thinnest and shortest peach tree that looked like a newborn. The roots could not be moved. Shen Yuan Directly select the middle and move it out.

Even the smallest peach tree still filled the small tricycle, Shen Yuan thought for a while, and moved some peach blossoms out and stuffed them under the peach tree, the small tricycle was stuffed so that there was no gap at all Satisfied, he turned and left.

It was evening when we went back, and the time for dinner was early in the countryside, and now it was time for every household to cook, so Shen Yuan didn't meet anyone along the way, so Shen Yuan drove the car directly to the foot of Yangtou Mountain.

At noon this day, Father Zhang came to ask for leave, saying that the second uncle was going to celebrate his birthday, so Shen Yuan simply gave them two days off, just to give himself time to prepare.It's just that all the work now falls on him.

He worked so hard to avoid the crowd and move the peach tree out. Naturally, he couldn't be lazy and stuff it back. He could only drag the peach tree out with a bitter face and carried it on his shoulders to climb up step by step. It is necessary to open a slope next to the stone steps, otherwise, going up and down like this will really kill people.

The peach tree was cut off by him with no root system. Afraid of being seen by others, Shen Yuan carefully wrapped a layer of black plastic bag on the cut end of the end, and pulled out his belt halfway to gather the branches in the middle. Together, strenuously go up one step at a time.

Heck, heck, heck, he had to dig a hole to plant the peach tree. Taking advantage of no one, Shen Yuan moved one more tree out of the space, although Shen Yuan always felt that the vitality of the peach tree in the space was too strange Even if it is cut off by the middle, it will not die, but just in case, after the tree is planted, it will be sprinkled with more well water in the space.

Then he ran to the wells in the east and west courtyards, pouring water from the space wells vigorously.

He had told Shen's mother and sister-in-law before that the peach blossom cake used the well water here, and naturally it would be transported from here in the future. It is better to prepare in advance. Fortunately, there is an old man who is a lucky general. By the way, I sorted out these two ancient wells, and now they are filled with clean groundwater. The water itself is sweet and refreshing, even if it is filled with well water with a different taste in the space, it is not easy to distinguish it.

After Shen Yuan finished all these babblings and rushed to Shen's house, it was already dark, and there was even light rain on the way, and when he returned home, his long sleeves were almost soaked, let alone a car. The freshly picked peach blossoms were originally very energetic and fresh, but after being beaten by the rain, they all gathered together.

Taking advantage of the time when Shen Yuan went upstairs, Shen Daqing and Father Shen moved all the remaining peach blossoms in the car to the floor of the living room.

Shen's mother frowned when she saw it, and muttered unhappily: "What have these flowers become, and how can they be used?"

"It's just been drenched by rain, and it's not dirty or rotten, just wash it off." Shen Yuan changed his clothes and just went down the stairs, when he heard what Shen's mother said, he said indifferently.According to him, it looks good, but after being drenched by the rain, his peach blossoms that are too juicy will not be so eye-catching.

"Let's just make do with this season. Even if they haven't been drenched, these peach blossoms are not much better. They all come from greenhouses. If they are too expensive, it is a burden for us to use. This is fine." Mrs. Shen is not so Pay attention, and start picking with a few large pots found from the kitchen.

Shen Daqing was helping his daughter-in-law, and Shen Yuan moved to the dining table and sat down at ease. Fortunately, that greedy Shen Erhao was not there, otherwise he would have to sacrifice a few peaches.

Father Zhang called early the next morning and asked Shen Yuan in amazement if he had planted the two extra peach trees in the greenhouse. up the mountain.

Just as he imagined, after a night, the two peach blossoms without roots were still alive, and even the peach blossoms on the top that had been thrown around by him in various rough ways were still stubbornly crooked and refused to fall.Shen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, knowing that these peach blossoms are very weird, and they will definitely not die for a while - and even if they die, Shen Yuan just needs to transfer from the space and replace them alive when others are not paying attention. Anyway, there are plenty of peach trees.

"Why are the peach blossoms still in bloom at this time?" Father Zhang circled around the peach tree, groping here and there in amazement.It stands to reason that now that the peach trees are bearing fruit, it is time to enter the dormancy period. Why can't the peach blossoms bloom? This is really strange.

Shen Yuan had already thought up the words, and he opened his mouth and said, "What's so strange? Now that the technology is so advanced, when you want the peach blossoms to bloom is just a matter of adjusting the temperature. We just need to pay for it."

"Don't you have a lot of money?" Now that technology is advanced, he hasn't studied much, and he knows that people don't need people to sow and reap, and the youngest knows a lot. Thinking of this, Father Zhang's doubts disappeared. He just guessed the price secretly with some sighs. People say that the rarer the more expensive, he still knows this truth.

Shen Yuan was already looking around at the greenhouse, secretly calculating how much space there was left to plant a few more peach trees for him, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, just like our greenhouse, it doesn't take much for them to cultivate these. How much, the more you plant, the more you earn, and the unit price is not too high."

"It's a pity that we can't compare with others here. I saw on TV that their greenhouses can set the temperature by themselves, and it would be best if they planted some flowers and plants."

"That's true..." Shen Yuan stared at the bees flying around in a corner, and said casually, "When we make money, we will also get one like them."

"It's so expensive, let's settle for it first." Father Zhang was a little bit reluctant. He has taken care of all the big and small jobs on Yangtou Mountain these days, and he knows every expense. Plus his and his own son's salary, he probably knows more about Shen Yuan's expenses than Shen's mother.Thinking about it again, it seems that Shen Yuan hasn't made much money until now, he is a little worried, so no one can get in and out, no matter how much savings Shen Yuan saved when he was in the city, it is not enough to be so corrupt!

Thinking of this, Father Zhang persuaded with difficulty concealing his worry: "My youngest, don't think uncle is too talkative, it's better to save some of our money, and it's better to take things step by step in a steady manner. Just like the flowers and plants you planted, you have to be patient and wait for the flowering period and the fruit..."

The more Father Zhang talked, the more worried he became. He is really satisfied with this job, and Shen Yuan also intends to take care of their father and son. He will pack breakfast at Shen’s house, and he can take care of lunch and dinner by himself. He can also go to Shen’s house to pack. There are also people who come to deliver food.The work is a job he is familiar with, and he doesn't need to bother much, and the salary is considered high in the village. Now he only hopes that Shen Yuan can continue to work for a long time. Even if the salary is lower, it is acceptable. At least he has a son. The places to go are also useful, plus Shen Yuan was also brought up by him when he was young, so he didn't want to see him take too many strides and fall down.

Father Zhang chanted affectionately for a long time, but Shen Yuan just listened and didn't remember, occasionally nodded perfunctorily, and only focused on looking at the beehive in the corner.

It is the beginning of autumn now, and the greenhouse is only closed when the temperature difference between morning and evening is too great and when the sheep come out to let the wind out. At this time, the door is opened for ventilation, and the skylight above is half open.In the past, these bees could not stay still and always went outside to find wild flowers, but today they stayed at home honestly, turning a blind eye to the wild flowers blooming outside, circling around only between the beehives and the peach trees.

These bees know what to expect, but unfortunately there are only two peach trees, how can we satisfy them...?

"Although uncle doesn't know what is the use of you planting these flowers and plants, but we have to take it slowly and do the same..." Father Zhang patted Shen Yuan's shoulder earnestly, and waved Zhang Feng who was curious. Drive away and continue talking.

Shen Yuan couldn't help sighing, there is naturally a way, but it's really difficult to pass the test of Shen's mother.

"After a while, our flower house will be able to sell flowers. Uncle, I see that there are many young people in the county who are struggling to buy flowers as gifts. There are many flower shops in front of the school. Let's contact them in advance..."

However, Shen's mother doesn't seem to be so taboo about Zhaizi recently...?I guess so.

Anyway, it will be sooner or later, he will definitely live in, and Shen's mother will definitely grab him and scold him, sooner or later there will be such a thing.Shen Yuan couldn't help touching his tingling neck, and lowered his head to look at his legs worriedly. Mother Shen used to beat him up a lot because of his naughty fights, but he escaped them all because of these two swift legs It's awesome, but it's a pity that the scud is half limping now...

Tsk, if he is caught and beaten by Shen's mother, he will poke Zhou Yi's tire!

Father Zhang looked at Shen Yuan's obedient and teachable appearance nodding frequently, couldn't help but stop admonishing him, paused, and then began to encourage him: "You've been smart since you were a child, and you can make a good appearance outside by yourself , Uncle believes in you..."

Huh?

The more Father Zhang boasted, the more he felt that Shen Yuan was really capable. He seemed to be worrying too much, so he pursed his lips and tried to lure him back, "Uncle doesn't read much and doesn't understand these business matters. You have an idea, Uncle just said You don’t have to worry too much about it, as long as you know what you want to do, you can do whatever you want.”

It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so let's just have a showdown tonight.Shen Yuan nodded heavily, and then he thought of Father Zhang next to him, turned his head and smiled apologetically: "Uncle, I have everything you said just now..."

Father Zhang nodded understandingly, "Uncle knows you know what's on your mind, but Uncle is a bit nagging when he gets older, so you don't have to worry about it, just do what you have to do."

Did he just say what he was thinking?Shen Yuan stared blankly at Father Zhang, laughed awkwardly, and then walked towards the sheep pen.

There are nearly [-] new ewes added to the sheepfold. Father Zhang is busy with the greenhouse and vegetable garden. At the beginning, Zhou Yi was responsible for herding the sheep. Now Zhou Yi is not around. Well, this matter fell on Zhang Feng and Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan's legs were still not very sharp, and he rarely came here, but Zhang Feng was tired.

As soon as Shen Yuan arrived outside the sheep pen, he saw Zhang Feng walking there, so he quickly called out to him: "Xiaofeng!"

Zhang Feng's reaction was still a little slow. When he suddenly heard such a voice, he still walked straight forward. After several seconds, he shrank his neck violently as if he had realized it. He shook his shoulders tremblingly and peeked back. With a smile on his face, he slowly relaxed a little.

Shen Yuan regretted it as soon as he finished yelling, and stood obediently until Zhang Feng saw clearly that it was him, then slowly walked over, grinning vigorously to both sides, trying to use the most gentle tone of his own, standing two steps away from him. The outsider said: "Xiaofeng, brother brought you something to eat, look."

Saying that, Shen Yuan spread out his palms, and the small petal-shaped peach blossom cakes were packed in a plastic bag, hanging between his fingers.

Zhang Feng looked hesitantly at Shen Yuan's grinning face that looked a bit hideous, thought carefully, then reached out to pick it up, and quickly withdrew his hand after getting the plastic bag.

Shen Yuan knew that Zhang Feng was a bit afraid of people because he was bullied so badly when he was a child, so he didn't care about his shrinking appearance. He just smiled at him vigorously, and after he took the peach blossom cake, he naturally took a few steps forward and shortened it. The distance, the fingers crawled on his head dishonestly, and rubbed hard, "Okay, find a cool place to eat, brother is herding sheep today, go quickly."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't refuse to push people on the ground, and smiled brightly with two rows of big teeth, Zhang Feng was so scared that he ran away.

"This kid can run faster than me." Shen Yuan sighed with emotion, and began to think about how to trick Zhou Yi again in an unhappy manner. While thinking, he turned and opened the outer door of the sheepfold.

The place next to the door in the sheep pen has a half-person-high wall built with cement. It is a kennel designed solely for two little wolf dogs.As soon as Shen Yuan walked in, the two little guys with half-raised heads and pricked ears rushed over one by one, hopping around Shen Yuan's legs in circles, and Rhubarb coquettishly grabbed onto it with two front paws. Shen Yuan's pants tried to climb up.

Shen Yuan lamented his trousers, and it took him a while to calm down the two little guys, then a delicate moan sounded, Shen Yuan raised his head, and met a pair of hazy dog ​​eyes as expected.

Xiao Hei was woken up by them, and before he opened his eyes completely, he hummed dissatisfiedly for a while, and then he managed to see clearly that it was Shen Yuan who came, and he tilted his forehead stupidly, and turned his ears over like a joke Because of the movement, he turned one over, and then shook his head and crawled out of the kennel covered with thick hay and padded cotton cloth.

Seeing with disgust the little fat man's stubby legs that were almost covered by his stomach, approaching him, being pulled for a while and then sprayed with saliva, Shen Yuan reluctantly snorted at it.Not to mention, it's quite warm.

Although Shen Yuan seldom came here, he probably knew the benefits of well water in the space. These sheep gave Shen Yuan a lot of face, and they were led by the rope and followed obediently one by one. Rhubarb and the others led the way, and Shen Yuan bypassed the stone steps. Straight into the grass.

Father Zhang is a diligent person, he does not need to be reminded, he can also take the initiative to find something to do, Shen Yuan found several newly turned fields when shepherding sheep these days, and the weeds have been cleaned up. Some peppers and rapeseeds have been planted, and some of them have sprouted, and the peppers have also been harvested.

Although Father Zhang had carefully erected fences around the vegetable gardens, Shen Yuan carefully avoided these newly opened vegetable gardens, and took the sheep to other places. The weeds were the most on the sheep's head mountain, and Shen Yuan found them. In a place where weeds are dense, I tied the rope and found a place to sit down and bask in the sun lazily.

Da Huang and the others are much more responsible than Shen Yuan, wandering around the flock from time to time, yelling if there is any trouble, but Xiao Hei is really naughty.First, he jumped on Shen Yuan a few times, and after being driven off by being too disgusted, he happily ran behind Rhubarb and the others to make trouble. He had no choice but to raise his tail high and try his best to ignore it. Seeing that this trick didn't work, the kid even bit his leg like a slapstick and was dragged away. He was really dragging his feet!

Shen Yuan squinted at them, took a nap, had a meal in between, inspected the vegetable garden, helped Mr. Zhang set up poles, and then went to the lotus pond to clear fallen leaves and so on. The day passed quickly up.
