Portable space

At night, it began to rain secretly, softly and softly sneaking into the night with the wind to moisten things silently.

Zhang Taiping got up in the morning and saw that the ground was damp again, which happened to save watering the lavender and watermelon seedlings.On the leaves of the newly grown trees are still hanging pearls that have not dripped, and the tender green is more beautiful after the dust is washed away.

Zhang Taiping ran around the mountain for a few laps, and the clusters of winter jasmine flowers that bloomed at some time were knocked down by the rain, and the golden petals were scattered all over the ground, which corresponds to the poem "Come at night." With the sound of wind and rain, how many flowers will fall."

The years are silent, time flies, and four or five days have passed without knowing it.

In the early morning of this day, Zhang Taiping opened the wooden door of the backyard and put the ewe and four lambs up the slope. The big rooster also took the opportunity to lead a few hens out to look for food.

Before I walked into the orchard, I smelled a scent of flowers.The air in the morning is exceptionally fresh, and the fragrance of flowers mixed in it is also exceptionally clear.But the fruit trees in the orchard bloomed.

Zhang Taiping has never been in the orchard in the past few days, Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming are cleaning up the weeds in the garden, and the fruit trees in the backyard have just come here early in the morning, Zhang Taiping has not given them special care, and the flowering is slower than normal The old trees in the orchard will take a while to bud, so Zhang Taiping doesn't know most of the flowering conditions in the orchard.

When Zhang Taiping fertilized the fruit trees last winter, he watered some space springs by the way, so the flowering was a few days earlier than other trees of the same kind.

The valley is simply a sea of ​​flowers at the moment.The first is the two pear trees that Zhang Taiping planted last year. There is a poem that says, "Suddenly like a spring breeze coming overnight, thousands of trees and thousands of pear trees bloom." , Like thousands of pear trees blooming.But now Kazuki's pure white pear blossoms look like they are covered with fluffy white snowflakes, as if they have returned to the heavy snow and covered the world with snow.The pear blossoms are plain white, and the fragrance is as elegant as the flower color.

Going further inside is a cherry tree.If pear blossoms are compared to a fairy in white clothes fluttering down like a pure and pure fairy from the top of a snow-capped mountain, then the light pink or light white cherry blossoms are like a girl who seems to be infinitely shy. Natural pale pink.

There are pink peach blossoms on the half hillsides on both sides.The peach blossoms are enchanting, like a young woman with a graceful figure and red cheeks.It is known as the saying that the face is like a peach blossom, which is exactly the kind of rosy white on the face of a girl or a newly married young woman.Picking off a peach blossom and putting it on the tip of the nose is like sniffing gently on the shoulder of an enchanting woman.

Zhang Taiping wandered around among the flowers in the orchard at random, feeling that it was a beautiful scenery, so he went back to the house to get the camera, took pictures of the beautiful scenery in the valley from all directions, and took a close-up of various flowers .

Facing a branch of peach blossoms, Zhang Taiping was fine-tuning the focus, but a bee appeared in the camera with its wings flapping, and then stopped to pick nectar from the petals. Zhang Taiping immediately pressed the shutter to record this moment.

Raise your head and listen carefully, you can hear the buzzing of wings flapping in the air, and then look at the flowers, there are indeed many bees busy on it.Zhang Taiping suddenly thought, should he also move some bees out of the space and make a few beehives outside to keep them outside.This way the honey can be taken out at any time and for a valid reason.

The beehive-like bees were not in a hurry, so Zhang Taiping hung the camera on the branch and began to collect flower petals.

All kinds of flowers in the orchard are blooming at the most beautiful time now, and it is the best time to collect them to brew Baihua wine.Most people in the world think that this kind of wine exists only in legends, but in fact it is not. It is just that the value of brewing is too expensive and the investment is out of proportion to the income, so it has no commercial value, so it has not been produced on a large scale, and to be honest, it is impossible to produce it on a large scale.Zhang Taiping happened to know a great recipe for brewing this kind of wine, and couldn't help but want to collect some flower petals to practice it himself.

But when he picked flowers from branches, he did not pick them indiscriminately, but was learned.When the fruit tree is just blooming, if there is excess nutrition or if there is no loss, the flowers will be clustered, and the flowers will need to be thinned if it is too dense.At this moment, he just folded off the extra flower branches according to the size of the branches, picked off the petals and put them in a prepared basket.

Zhang Taiping picked several baskets by himself and did not finish a few trees. It seemed that this was a slow job and it was unrealistic to complete it by himself.Moreover, the flowering period does not wait for anyone, and it will wither after a few days, not only missing the best time to pick flowers and make wine, but also delaying the thinning of flowers, so a lover must come to help.

Put the picked flowers in the space, which is the best fresh-keeping place, as long as his wishes are not convenient, the things placed inside will always remain in their original state.

When they got back to the house, everyone in the family got up, and Zhang Taiping told Cai Yazhi about hiring someone to thin the flowers.

Cai Yazhi: Isn't it better to bear more fruit?

Zhang Taiping shook his head with a smile and said: "This idea is wrong. If you don't thin the flowers this year, there will indeed be a lot of fruits at the beginning. The small fruits will cover the branches, and there will be a situation of abundant fruits. But because there are too many fruits If you lose nutrition, you will not be able to keep up, and some will fall off automatically at that time, but there will still be a lot of leftovers, and they will not grow up. The last peaches that should grow up to the size of a fist can only be the size of eggs. The number is going up. But the quality is poor, if you can’t sell it, you can only rot in your own hands.”

When Cai Yazhi heard this, 1 people in her heart agreed to thin the flowers. What she feared most was that the fruit that would grow would not be able to be sold.

Zhang Taiping continued: "This is only the bad effect of this year. Next year, due to the excessive force of the fruit tree this year, it will be tired, and the fruit next year will be three or two kittens. Therefore, the flowers must be thinned out, and when the time comes. If it still feels dense when it becomes a small fruit, then there are still fruits and vegetables.”

Cai Yazhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zhang Taiping came to the village chief's house and told the story of his hiring, and the village chief immediately notified the villagers.The Chinese toon has just been sold out in the past few days, and everyone is idle. Zhang Taiping's move will not only increase everyone's income, but also learn how to manage fruit trees.

"Uncle, just say that only women are required. This is a delicate job. Women are careful, and men don't care. They may not be able to do this job." Zhang Taiping said when the village head notified.

"Okay, no problem." The old village head responded and turned on the loudspeaker to announce.

After breakfast, the women who had nothing to do came to Zhang Taiping's house.Hearing that it was about fruit trees, Han Miaomiao of Song Lan, who decided to grow fruit trees with Zhang Taiping at that time, also came together, and declared that he came to help out without labor costs, and learned some management knowledge by the way, and asked Zhang Taiping for advice. some questions.

The two of them really cared about the fruit tree, and both of them were the masters at home. They said that they had vigorously cultivated the fruit tree, and the husband could only support it with all his strength.

Zhang Taiping also told the two of them the theory he told Cai Yazhi before the meal.

"Marshal, we will all obey you, and we will do what you say when the time comes. If there is any news about the fruit trees, you have to tell us in time." Song Lan was a little frightened after hearing Zhang Taiping's words, At that time, she was really happy for the flowers in her garden. It would be a big mistake if there is no handsome man.

Han Miaomiao next to her also had the same idea as Song Lan. The rain in Chutian this year was good, and last winter, there was enough fertilizer and a lot of flowers bloomed. She was also happy for a while.At this moment, he nodded quickly to express the same thoughts as Song Lan.

"Don't worry, I will definitely tell you two if there is any movement." Zhang Taiping nodded and said.

Immediately after the village head recorded the names of the people who came, Zhang Taiping led them into the orchard and distributed a basket to each of them.

First, he demonstrated by himself and said: "When the peach blossoms are in bloom, leave two inches between the flowers on each branch, and pick off the extra flowers in the middle and put them inside. When they are full, come to me to pour them. Come out. The distance between the cherry blossoms is reduced by half. Oh, and beware of the bee sting in the flower."

After seeing Zhang Taiping's demonstration clearly, a group of women laughed and responded, and then went to work under the tree with their baskets.

When the women had left, Fan Mingshen turned his head and asked, "Brother, what do you want these flowers for?"

Zhang Taiping tilted his head and said, "Have you heard of Hundred Flowers Wine?"

"Yeah! Brother can still make wine?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Of course I will. The shochu you got drunk last time is the fruit wine I brewed."

"Then, isn't Baihua wine sweet when brewed?"

"It's also my first time brewing, and I don't know the details, but I will add some honey to it, and it may taste sweet when it comes out."

"Then I don't care, you must leave me a jar when the time comes."

Zhang Taiping nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, you are indispensable."

Fan Ming giggled, carrying the basket like a butterfly, shuttled among the trees and flowers, and went to pick flowers too.

Cai Yazhi also picked up the basket and prepared to start. Zhang Taiping said: "You don't want to go in, find some people to prepare lunch, let's take care of the meal today. Hurry up, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome if the flowers are gone."

Cai Yazhi put down the basket and went back to the house to find someone to prepare lunch.

This is not a tiring job. After lunch, I took a short break and continued to work. It really saved time. I dared to comb all the fruit trees before dark.The petals alone piled up in a big pile, Zhang Taiping took some of them into the space when no one noticed, and the part left outside was packed up and placed in the cellar.
