Chapter 214 Planting Fruit Trees
In March of Yangchun, during the spring plowing season, the fields of Qinghe Village are full of busy people.

Although there is a wave of enthusiasm for planting passionflower in the village, most of the villagers are still on the sidelines; some bold ones just follow the trend and plant a few acres of passionflower as a try.

The main crops grown by the villagers are corn and sweet potatoes.

Like Wang Weidong's family, they set aside five acres of land to plant passionflower, and planted corn on the remaining ten acres of land.

The village head, Lin Hongxi's family, also set aside [-] mu of land to grow passionflower, and planned to grow corn and sweet potatoes on the rest of the land.

Zhou Dingwei, on the other hand, tasted the sweetness brought by planting strawberries, and became bolder. This time, he plans to plant [-] acres of passionflower; when autumn comes, he will replant [-] acres of strawberries.

During the time of spring plowing, everyone was extremely busy.

Although Shen Qiuqiu's family was not busy with spring plowing, they were not idle either.

The strawberries are still in the picking period, the grapes are beginning to bloom and set fruit, and the fields are busy with a lot of farm work.

Shen Qiuqiu would occasionally go to the fields with Grandpa Shen and Shen Xiu to do farm work, but most of the time he was still busy with packing and shipping, shooting short videos and dealing with after-sales issues.

On the Maitian video, [Shen's Small Courtyard] still updates its daily life every day, and the number of fans has exceeded one million.
[Shenjia Xiaoyuan] also became the first batch of million-fan bloggers of Ryefield Video.

On the wheat field mall, the sales of strawberries are rising steadily, and the quality of the strawberries is also well received. The store reputation score of [Qinghe Nongxian] is as high as 4.95.

Shen Qiuqiu took a break from his busy schedule to go to a nursery in a neighboring county to look at fruit seedlings.

I ran to several nurseries, but there was no sale of Jinxiu yellow peach seedlings, but there were Wo Tangerines, and the price was not cheap.

A five-year-old sapling that bears fruit in the same year costs 58 yuan.

The quality of the saplings seemed to be very good, Shen Qiuqiu hesitated, and finally bought 1000 five-year-old citrus saplings.

Of the 43 mu of land over Qingshuitang, 26 mu of flat land is planted with passionflower, and the remaining 17 mu of sloping land, Shen Qiuqiu plans to plant 10 mu of mandarin oranges and 7 mu of beautiful yellow peaches.

If 100 citrus trees are planted in one mu of land, 10 citrus saplings are needed for 1000 mu of land.

This nursery was introduced by Zhang Xuemei. The boss had a good relationship with Zhang Xuemei, so he took the initiative to give Shen Qiuqiu a little discount. He gave her 5 cherry saplings and gave her a 9.5% discount; the discount was 55100 yuan.

As for the saplings of Jinxiu Yellow Peach, they can only be purchased online.

Shen Qiuqiu has no such channels, and the seedling suppliers on the Internet were also introduced by Zhang Xuemei.

Jinxiu yellow peach saplings are cheaper than Wogan, and the five-year-old saplings cost 38 yuan.

One mu of land can grow 60 yellow peach trees, and Shen Qiuqiu ordered 420 Jinxiu yellow peach seedlings online, which cost 15960 yuan.

It cost more than 7 yuan just to buy these saplings. Shen Qiuqiu dared not let his grandparents know, otherwise the old man would feel sorry for the money again.

Within two days, the Jinxiu yellow peach saplings bought online arrived;
Shen Qiuqiu urged the nursery again, and early the next morning, the citrus saplings were also delivered by a large truck.

The sloping land of Qingshuitang has been reclaimed long ago, and the pit has been dug. Now it is easy to plant. Pour organic fertilizer into the pit as a base fertilizer, backfill with a thin layer of soil, and then plant fruit trees in it. It's over.

Although it is the busy farming season, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still invite people.

Shen Qiuqiu invited a dozen people and spent two days planting more than 1000 saplings.

Then water was drawn from the pond to irrigate the roots of the trees to prevent drought.

These saplings were healthy and disease-free, with intact root systems, and under the careful care of Grandpa Shen and Shen Qiuqiu, they basically survived.

Zhang Xuemei was very concerned about this matter, so she took the time to check it out.

It just rained last night, and the cold air permeated the mountains, with some residual rain still hanging on the branches.

Zhang Xuemei didn't dislike it either. Wearing a raincoat, she skillfully shuttled among the fruit trees to check the growth of the fruit trees.

Because it is a five-year-old strong plant, flower buds have grown on some yellow peach trees.

Zhang Xuemei pointed to the flower buds on the tree, smiled and said to Shen Qiuqiu, "The growth is pretty good. It looks like I can eat the yellow peaches and mandarin oranges you planted this year."

This time buying saplings, Zhang Xuemei helped a lot with painstaking efforts.

When planting saplings, she also gave a lot of guidance.

Shen Qiuqiu was very grateful, and he had already said his thanks many times.

She didn't thank you any more today, but just said with a smile: "When the yellow peaches and mandarin oranges are ripe this year, you will be the first to taste them."

Zhang Xuemei raised her eyebrows, then narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"My sister, I definitely want to taste the yellow peaches and mandarin oranges you planted. But... the first person to taste it should be Xiao Jiang, right?

After all, the two of you are the ones who have had the sweetest first love. We can eat tangerines and yellow peaches because of Xiao Jiang's favor. "

A joke made Shen Qiuqiu blush.

It made Zhang Xuemei laugh again.

……

After the fruit trees were planted, Shen Qiuqiu found someone to install the fence and protective net.

The land in the countryside is basically demarcated by ridges, and few people can install fences; but after the grapes were stolen last year, Shen Qiuqiu felt that it would be better to install a fence.

The four-meter-high iron net fence encloses the entire area of ​​Qingshuitang, which can not only prevent wild animals on the mountain, but also prevent thieves.

In addition, Grandpa Shen also asked someone to bring a few carts of bricks over, and built two brick houses by the pond.

One is used to store farm tools; the other is an old wooden bed, where you can rest your feet when you are tired from work.

The few cherry saplings sent by the nursery owner were also planted by the pond.

After the brick house was built, Grandma Shen came to see it once, and said jokingly, "It's pretty good. If we build a kitchen, we can settle down here."

Grandpa Shen said, "When the fruits in the garden are ripe, I'll take the rhubarb and move here to look at the garden. Living here can keep you quiet, so you don't have to listen to your nagging at home every day."

Grandma Shen couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and choked back, "Move if you want, it's best to move now, and no one is stopping you."

Seeing that the old couple was about to quarrel again, Shen Qiuqiu quickly interjected and changed the subject.

"Grandpa and grandma, I think this pond is quite big. It's a pity to leave it like this. Can you think of a way to use it?"

"What can this pond do?...Let me think about it..."

The old couple began to think along what the granddaughter said, and they really didn't care about bickering with each other.

Grandma Shen thought about it for a while, then suddenly slapped her thigh, "You can grow lotus roots, or mushrooms. Last year, lotus roots were very expensive."

Grandpa Shen put forward a different opinion, "Lotus roots are not easy to grow, and no one in our family knows how to dig them. It's better to raise fish, put a batch of fish fry, and cut some grass to feed when you come to work, and you don't have to worry about it." Heart, simple and easy."

Grandma Shen and Shen Qiuqiu were successfully persuaded.

So, Shen Qiuqiu bought 400 fry and put them in the pond.
