Chapter 18 Wood Carving

In the afternoon, Wang Peng came to Zhang Taiping's house early to inquire about ways to make money.

"Handsome guy, I'm here to make money with you. As long as it's the method that the handsome guy came up with, it will definitely work. If I go to the oil pan at the foot of the mountain, if I, Wang Peng, frown, I won't have it." Wang Peng just entered the yard and saw lying in bed. Zhang Taiping on the chair shouted impassionedly.

"What are you shouting for?" Zhang Taiping stood up and patted him on the back of the head, and scolded him with a smile, "Still going up to the oil pan at the bottom of the mountain? Have you watched too many underworld movies? Go plant trees with me first."

Zhang Taiping caught a strong man, went to the orchard, and planted the remaining fruit trees in the unused space.There were outsiders, Zhang Taiping did not pour space water into the tree pit.Even Zhang Taiping, who is closest to him, does not intend to tell the secrets of the space. It is not because he does not trust, but because of things like secrets, the fewer people know about them, the better. Anything abnormal, causing unnecessary trouble or even danger.So Zhang Taiping decided to keep the secret of space locked in his heart.The two of them planted all the saplings in a short time and watered the ordinary river water.

After planting the fruit trees, Zhang Taiping asked Wang Peng to help move the saw table, planer and other carpentry equipment stored in the room in the back room where farm tools and groceries were stored to the wing room, and scrub them clean.I put some oil on the machine, plugged it in, checked how well it was working, and it was working fine.Wang Peng was next to him, and he cut a few simple push-lid wooden boxes for storing things separately. I haven't touched the wood for several years, and I feel that the craftsmanship is much rusty.Zhang Taiping still likes woodworking, which is a technology that can create things, and especially has a special liking for carving, so he plans to pick up the craft again for leisure time.

Pack up the wooden box, Zhang Taiping still has uses.Seeing that the top-quality red toon wood was still left, Zhang Taiping, who was reluctant to waste it, had an idea and took out the carving knife.Zhang Taiping's big hands fluttered up and down like butterflies. From Wang Peng's eyes, the carving knife in Zhang Taiping's hand seemed to have life, and afterimages were drawn in the air, and sawdust fell one after another.In a moment, the original piece of columnar wood turned into a lifelike little girl, dressed in a princess outfit, with her fingers on her mouth, and the curious expression on her face seemed to come alive.After the sculpture was finished, looking at the statue of Yaya, Zhang Taiping was both proud and amazed.

The reason why Yaya can be carved so superbly is that Yaya's figure and demeanor are imprinted in the bottom of my heart.But I was a little surprised by the previous state. Although Zhang Dashuai was good at carving in the past, he has not yet reached this level.I have just entered a wonderful state, as if I have merged with the carving knife, making it like an arm, and can express the thoughts in my heart dripping sweat.As for the reason for the sudden improvement in the form of jumping skills, Zhang Taiping can only attribute it to the fact that Space has greatly improved his physical quality, making his response sensitivity and grasping and control of strength a step further; moreover, his mentality and life experience are also completely different.

"Big handsome guy, do you know how to fly a knife?" Wang Peng next to him asked stupidly with his mouth closed in awe.

"In the future, don't call him 'Big Handsome Guy', just call him 'Da Shuai' or 'Big Brother'." Zhang Taiping said with a frown.The beauty is fine, but she gets goosebumps from being called "handsome guy" by a big man all day long.

"Why, isn't that nice?"

"Then why are there so many, if you are told to change it, you should change it, and don't talk too much nonsense."

"Okay, then I'll just call him 'Big Brother', closer than 'Da Shuai'." Wang Peng pouted and said, "By the way, you haven't told me whether Xiao Li can fly a knife."

Zhang Taiping walked towards the front yard, and said casually: "I can also subdue the dragon with eighteen palms, I can blow away One Finger Mountain with one blow, do you believe it or not?"

Wang Peng muttered doubtfully, "Impossible?"

It was getting dark, and dinner was almost ready, so Yaya sat alone on the kang in the bedroom and watched TV.Zhang Taiping gave her the wood carving, she screamed in surprise, with a dazzling smile on her face, she climbed onto Zhang Taiping's lap, and kissed Zhang Taiping's face as a reward.

Wang Peng patted the black and white TV on the back of his head and complained: "What kind of TV is this? The water splash is so big." As he spoke, he patted hard.

Zhang Taiping ignored it, there were quite a few such TV sets a few years ago, and now he has gone to that corner of history.Often when the image is not clear, it will be better with a few taps, so Wang Peng slapped the fuselage.Lenghuo's effort was a little overwhelmed, but Zhang Taiping didn't care about it, the waste product should have been thrown away long ago, after selling the medicine this time, he would buy a new color TV.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping left Wang Peng to eat and relax.At the dinner table, Wang Peng was a little slumped, mainly because of Cai Xiaomei's presence. Wang Peng was often beaten by Cai Xiaomei when he was a child. He probably still has a shadow in his heart. Seeing her is like a mouse meeting a cat. He is very obedient.

The next day, Cai Xiaomei was going back to school. There were only three days off for National Day, and she had to make up lessons for her children this afternoon.

Early in the morning, Yaya came to the back room with the wood carving and told Zhang Taiping.

"Dad, Auntie wants Yaya's little wooden figure, can you make one for Auntie too?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Okay, make one for your aunt."

When he came to the wing room, he held the knife in his hand, and after a little thought, he began to cut the knife.After a while, a youthful beauty with short hair, wearing jeans, and putting his hands in his trouser pockets appeared in front of his eyes.This one is not as vivid as Yaya's, mainly because her figure doesn't go deep into the bone marrow like Yaya's.

Yaya held two wooden figurines and ran back to the front room, gave that to her aunt and said: "Auntie, Yaya asked Dad to make one for you too, don't you want Yaya's anymore, okay? "

Cai Xiaomei pretended to be reluctant and said: "Okay, Auntie doesn't want yours anymore, but when your father carves again in the future, you must ask him to make one more, understand?"

"En!" Xiao Yaya nodded vigorously in response.

After breakfast, when sending Cai Xiaomei off, Cai Xiaomei said to Zhang Taiping.

"Don't think that if you give me a rotten wood carving, I will forgive you. If you still treat my sister badly in the future, I will always find a way to deal with you, believe it or not?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and did not speak.

Cai Yazhi took a quick look at Zhang Taiping's expression, blocked Cai Xiaomei's finger pointing at Zhang Taiping and shook her head, waved her hand to signal him to leave quickly.

Cai Xiaomei shook her hair, picked up the rosin cake her sister baked last night, and possibly the wooden figure, and turned to leave.

Zhang Taiping spent the whole day pruning the fruit trees in the orchard. During the period, he took some space water, diluted it with well water many times, and then watered the newly planted fruit trees, just to ensure that they can fully survive, and not to make them supernatural. regular changes.

My wife has been studying by the side. The cultivation of fruit trees is not an easy and easy task. There are many ways to do it just by pruning.Different fruit trees have different pruning methods, the length of pruning is also different, and the time is also different.Now this season is suitable for pruning low vines. Those taller cherry trees, walnut trees and the like must wait until the leaves fall in autumn and winter before pruning.

Zhang Taiping looked at his wife's distressed expression and said, "Do you feel sorry for the cut branches?"

Cai Yazhi blushed and shook her head.Zhang Taiping stayed for a moment attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him.Then he coughed and explained.

"Most of the vines planted in the orchard are dwarf saplings, with little space between the plants, and the roots are small and shallow downwards. The competition between trees is fierce. It is difficult to absorb water and nutrients. If you don't trim the excess It is difficult for the fruit tree to grow tall and thick. In the year when the fruit bears fruit, you have to comb the flowers and fix the fruit, otherwise let it grow naturally, and the nutrition cannot keep up. Although there are many clusters on the tree, they are all clusters of small fruits. Sparse, not only the taste is not good, but also the appearance is very bad. Conversely, if the pruning and fruit thinning are done correctly, only one bunch of grapes will be left on each branch, and there will be as many bunches of grapes as there are branches on a tree. Not to mention the huge size of the fruit, the taste is even more incomparable. Each bunch weighs more than two catties, and each catty can be sold for a good price of six or seven yuan."

Cai Yazhi opened her mouth in surprise, this was the first time she heard that Putaokai could be sold for such a price.The grapes I saw at the market before cost just over two yuan a catty, and a catty could weigh several bunches, and not many people bought them.I don't know if the price of six or seven yuan can really be sold.

Zhang Taiping didn't seem to have surprised her enough, so he said, "Let's do the math. There are 150 trees in one mu of land, and there are fifteen branches on each tree, that is, fifteen bunches of grapes. A string of two catties." Knowing what she was thinking, Zhang Taiping continued, "Don't worry about not being able to sell, there are plenty of people who eat good food. It's not six or seven yuan, just five yuan per catty, let's do the math, one mu The land can earn 22500 yuan a year, and our grapes have a total of three acres, and the grapes alone can earn more than 7000 yuan a year, let alone adding cherries and peaches."

Cai Yazhi swallowed her saliva after hearing this, her chest rose and fell like waves, seeing Zhang Taiping's heart burning, she immediately put getting the marriage certificate as the top priority.

Involuntarily, he quickly kissed him on the mouth.Immediately, Cai Yazhi's almond eyes widened and she stood there dumbfounded.Then his face was quickly covered by red clouds, as if he could bleed.Zhang Taiping was fascinated by his shy posture again, charming and pure co-exist, which can best a man's heart.

Cai Yazhi felt as if her face was about to be burned, she covered her face and turned around and ran back to the house.Although they have been married for four years, this is the first time they have been frivolous during the day.Kissing is the most common way of intimacy in the city, and can be seen in some public places from time to time, but for Cai Yazhi who has been living in the mountains, this is not acceptable for a while.

After Cai Yazhi ran away, Zhang Taiping laughed at himself and said, what happened today, like a no-nonsense first-time brother.Completely forgot that he was still a virgin in his original mentality.

In the next three days, Zhang Taiping picked another batch of saffron, which together with the previous few days totaled one kilogram, worth more than 5000 yuan.After the second picking, Zhang Taiping ordered the space to automatically eradicate the saffron roots.Saffron can only be used as initial start-up capital, not as a means of collecting money.In fact, for Zhang Taiping, after having space, money is not the ultimate goal he pursues. It is just a tool to serve in the process of life, and he doesn’t care about the amount. As long as he can take it out when he needs it, the main thing is to enjoy life The process of bit by bit.In the afternoon, Wang Peng came to Zhang Taiping's house early to inquire about ways to make money.

"Handsome guy, I'm here to make money with you. As long as it's the method that the handsome guy came up with, it will definitely work.
