Portable space

The saffron is planted at the bottom of the mature fruit trees, and the overall growth is very bad. Now it is the time for red flowers to bloom, but there are a few red flowers scattered here and there. It is too little to drink tea, let alone sell it for money.

Zhang Taiping fiddled with the branches and said, "I only have 350 yuan here, how much do you think I can get?"

Yang Wanli said with a straight face on purpose: "Brother Zhang, you can't say enough. Anyway, we are also junior high school classmates, not to mention that Brother Zhang also helped me. Maybe that matter was trivial to Brother Zhang, but it was enough to make me feel that at that time. I am grateful for my life. Besides, the saffron roots are like weeds in my place, and they can be regarded as dusty pearls. Now the sword is given to the hero and sent to the hands of the people who need it. It will make the best use of it. Talking about money will hurt feelings. .”

Zhang Taiping couldn't get his hand out of his pocket.When it comes to this point, no matter how hard it is to give money, it seems hypocritical, it really hurts feelings.

pick up?head, and dug out a half-snakeskin bag in a short while.He shook his hands and asked, "How much land do you think these can grow?"

Yang Wanli calculated for a while before replying, "About one cent."

Zhang Taiping put it away?The head said: "One point, one point is enough."

After tying up the bag, he asked, "Could it be strawberries under the peach tree over there?"

"Hehe, Big Brother Zhang has sharp eyes, and it is indeed a strawberry. I got this strawberry from a friend. It is an old variety. When I got it back, there were only a few trees. After a few years, the field under the tree has grown all over." Asked, "I wonder if Big Brother Zhang has an orchard at home?"

"How many acres?" Zhang Taiping answered truthfully.

"Then dig some back and plant them under the fruit trees. This is a good thing. It has little effect on the tree under the tree, but it can inhibit the growth of weeds. This variety is old, and its size and disease resistance are inferior to the new varieties; But the advantages are also very prominent, the color is bright, the flesh is thick and juicy, and the appearance is not bad. If you grow some to eat by yourself, then grow some, and you don’t need to manage them at all. You only need to eradicate the excess parts every winter; if you want When cultivating a kind of fruit, it needs to be planted more densely and more management is required, the main thing is sufficient water baths and disease prevention, and the second is that the plant spacing must be reorganized every winter." Yang Wanli suggested.

Zhang Taiping nodded without thinking, this is really worthless.Strawberry is a herbaceous perennial plant. In summer, when it grows vigorously, a tentacle can extend to more than one to two meters long. Every [-] centimeters, the tentacle will pierce into the soil to form roots.One seedling can cover an area of ​​two to three square meters in one year, and grow nearly a hundred new plants, with particularly strong reproductive ability.Let's not discuss whether to make money or not, at least it will be long enough to give Ya Ya a mouthful.

Seeing Zhang Taiping nodding his head, Yang Wanli called his wife to bring a snakeskin bag and scissors.Zhang Taiping dug, and he cut off the excess branches and leaves, leaving only two or three young leaves in the core, so as to reduce water loss after planting and facilitate survival.

While cutting, he said: "Strawberries are very fond of sunlight, like water but are afraid of water, so they should be planted in a place with sufficient sunlight and good drainage. Strawberries are just a bag of water, especially during the period of flowering and fruiting. .The most fear of continuous rain in the fruit is that the fruit will soften and fester if it does not see sunlight for four or five days, and a plum rain can destroy all the fruits with cores. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to plant in a greenhouse.”

After digging, cutting, and installing, Zhang Taiping said again: "Let's get some more fruit trees."

Yang Wanli asked, "I wonder what kind of fruit tree Brother Zhang wants?"

"Apple, pear, peach, longan, two each, and by the way, two vines of each variety." Zhang Taiping finished in one breath.

Yang Wanli started digging without saying a word.It took the two of them more than half an hour to finish digging, and it was a big bundle.Sitting under the tree to rest for a while, smoking a cigarette, and getting to know each other a lot in the smog, Zhang Taiping couldn't help asking curiously.

"You can contract such a large forest garden, you should not be short of money, why would you set up a stall on the street?"

"Hehe, this is my personality problem. Maybe Brother Zhang will laugh at me. Although I have been in high school and college in the city for several years, I have always been unable to integrate into the life and environment in the city, and I even feel a little disgusted. I just like it. The green hills in our countryside are eye-catching, surrounded by green water, and you can look up at the leisurely life of the blue sky. In the off-season of tree sales like autumn, I like to ride a three-wheeled motorcycle, pick up a few fruit trees and find a stall on the street for a long time. .It feels very comfortable to watch the crowd coming and going on the set.”

"It's a skill to be able to combine career and interest together."

"Why didn't Brother Zhang go outside to develop?"

Zhang Taiping leaned against the tree, exhaled a puff of smoke, and replied: "I, I have been ineffective all these years, and I have not made a name for myself. The family only has a wife and daughter, and I can't live without it. No, I want to develop something in the village. , can support the family without leaving home.”

After smoking, I looked at my watch, it was almost four o'clock.He stood up and patted and said, "It's getting late, I should go."

Yang Wanli also looked at his watch and said, "Okay, let's go there together, there are still some saplings to fetch from the street."

When he arrived at the gate of the garden, Zhang Taiping took out 350 yuan and sent it to Yang Wanli, saying: "You should accept it this time, I have quite a lot of fruit trees."

Unexpectedly, Yang Wanli blocked it anyway, and said seriously: "Brother Zhang, I really want to be your friend, but you are so out of touch, why don't you look down on me as a friend?"

Although the words did not reach the point of punishing one's heart, they brought accusations.

Zhang Taiping looked into Yang Wanli's eyes, and the other party looked at him, with determination and sincerity in his eyes.

"Okay! I've made you my friend." The big palm-like hand patted Yang Wanli's shoulder and said.

Yang Wanli grinned and said, "Brother Zhang, your hand strength is not for you. If you take two more shots, my small body will probably fall apart."

"Hahaha." Zhang Taiping burst into a hearty laugh, "Then you have to step up your training, or your wife won't be able to spare you."

Yang Wanli also laughed.

Sitting on the tricycle, Zhang Taiping arrived quite embarrassed: "I look like a devil who has entered the village today, eating and drinking for nothing, and taking it for nothing before I leave."

Yang Wanli said with a smile, "I'm really willing for a devil like you to enter the village a few more times. Haha."

Back on the street after a while, Zhang Taiping got out of the car. Because he didn't have a cell phone or a phone at home, Zhang Taiping left the village head's phone number to Yang Wanli and wrote down his cell phone number.He carried the saplings and the snakeskin bag and headed south.

I found a secluded corner, put all my things in the space, and returned to the street.Since I didn't spend any money, I thought about bringing some things back home.

Compared with the morning and noon, the streets in the afternoon were much less crowded. Those who went to the market on long roads or in the mountains would go back home at two or three o'clock. Most of the people who are still shopping and wandering now are from the nearby villages. Naturally, Zhang Taiping is an exception.

First come to a small seed shop. "Boss, are there any summer vegetable seeds in the shop?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Yes, there are." The chubby, round boss said with a smile, "Although the shop is small, there is a saying that goes 'although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs'. The seeds of all seasons, any time, any season, Yes." Then he adjusted his glasses and asked again.

"I don't know what kind of seeds my brother wants?"

Zhang Taiping was angry for a while and said: "Tomatoes, cucumbers, lentils, cannon peppers, second artillery peppers, onions, radishes, um, let's start with these."

The fat boss was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "May I ask, do you want to produce off-season vegetables?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "I want to make some greenhouse vegetables, and I will try it out this year."

"Brother looks like a man of his own mind." The fat boss gave a thumbs up and complimented, "Good idea! Vegetable prices have soared in recent years, and growing vegetables is a good way out. Plant some of them before it's completely cold, and harvest After the fruit is stored, it will be taken out at the end of the year and sold at a good price."

"By the boss's words, let the boss recommend some varieties." Zhang Taiping grinned and said.

"Let me tell you, although it is warm in the greenhouse, it is definitely not as good as the natural temperature outside in summer, so the seeds should be selected to be cold-tolerant. For tomatoes, let's choose 'Saffron No. [-]'. This variety is not cold-resistant. When ripe, they are big and fresh, with good taste and high yield, suitable for planting and selling. As for cucumbers”

The fat boss recommended a variety one by one.Zhang Taiping didn't care too much, he didn't understand the similarities and differences between each variety, and they were going to be planted in space, so the requirements for quality and climate were negligible.The reason why I asked the boss to introduce it is that I don't know what kind of variety there is.After the boss finished speaking, he made a decision.

The fat boss pressed the calculator swiftly and said: "The total is 36 yuan. When I saw my brother, I felt like it. Let's take 35 yuan."

Zhang Taiping smiled and did not speak.I couldn't help thinking that this fat boss is supposed to be a person who can do great things, and he has a kind and smooth mouth, but he only keeps a small shop, which is strange.I laugh when I think about it, everyone has their own stories, experiences and fate, and every family also has scriptures that are difficult to recite.Just like Yang Wanli, who owns a huge garden, but likes to set up a stall on the street to understand the various aspects of life.Shaking his head, he walked out of the seed shop in the sound of "Come again next time" from the fat boss.

After that, I went to buy a bag of rice, and went to Renrenle Supermarket to buy some snacks for Yaya.At five o'clock, I retrieved my bicycle and headed home.

The wheels on the way home rotated like the wind, shuttled like an arrow on the road around the mountain.Home is the harbor with no relentless wind and rain, the end point of the wandering wanderer, and the root of the swaying and rotating leaves.It's good to have something to rely on, and it's also a kind of happiness to be concerned about.

Just when Zhang Taiping's heart was filled with satisfaction and joy, someone in front of him waved his hand.Zhang Taiping squeezed the car brake, stopped in front of the hand-waving man, and put his legs on the ground.

This is a group of students, each riding a variable speed bicycle, three men and four women, judging by their clothes and looks, they should be college students who came out together during the National Day holiday.

"Brother, excuse me. May I ask how to get to Fengyukou Village?" A lively and bold girl with two or three playful little freckles on her nose came forward and asked.

"It's not close. If you really want to go, you can follow me." Zhang Taiping said calmly.

"That's it, can the big brother wait for a while, let's discuss it?" The little girl with freckles hesitated and said.

"En." Zhang Taiping nodded.

The seven people whispered together, Zhang Taiping didn't pay attention to listen, but stared at the passing cars in the middle of the road.
