The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 474 Kiwi Forest
The Zhuangzi where the wine shop is located is only a quarter of an hour away from the hot spring villa. Although the thawed road surface is a little smooth, it is still very quick to reach Zhuangzi.

The first person she saw when she got out of the carriage surprised Su Yunduo, thinking that she was delusional. It wasn't until this person came to her that she was sure that it was indeed the right person.

"Why did cousin come here?" Su Yunduo raised his head and looked at Lu Jinkang in front of him in doubt. Although Lu Jinkang's errands are relatively flexible, it doesn't mean that he can leave the city just by going out of the city.

Lu Jinkang glanced at Su Yunduo: "I'm here to accompany you to explore the mountains."

Su Yunduo was slightly taken aback, she only said that she was going to soak in the hot springs in the western suburbs, how could this person guess that she was going to visit the kiwi forest?
"Let's go, if you don't go, you will have to spend the night in the mountains!" Lu Jinkang did not explain, but urged.

Cut, how could it be such an exaggeration!

Through Zhang Ping'an's description, and Ning Zhongping's addition, Su Yunduo knew that the kiwi forest was not far from the wild grape valley, but the road was blocked by a cliff and it was difficult, so why would he need to spend the night in the mountains?

Of course, Su Yunduo didn't ask any more questions, but just followed Lu Jinkang into Zhuangzi, and both Peng Zhuangtou and Zhang Ping'an were ready to enter the mountain. Seeing that although Su Yunduo was wearing a thick cloak outside, he was not inside. The skirt is a riding outfit that is convenient for walking, which shows that Su Yunduo is prepared.

Of course, this is the outfit that Su Yunduo and the others specially changed on the way here, how dare she dress like this in front of Mrs. Lu, wouldn't that be a leak?
As for whether Mrs. Lu would find out after she came out from the kiwi forest, it doesn't matter that much. After all, she has seen everything she should have seen.

The road to the kiwi forest is indeed very difficult. Fortunately, Zhang Pingan learned that the fruit they accidentally discovered can be used to brew new fine wine, so he led people to make a way when he had free time. They have forcibly carved out a path on the cliff.

Although it was still difficult to walk, it was much better than when it started. However, it was colder in the mountains than outside, and the snow had not completely melted, which brought new difficulties to the journey.

Fortunately, Su Yunduo is not a charming lady. After more than two years of continuous training in Wuqinxi, although her physical fitness is not as good as Ziyue's, she is already on the same level as Zisu.

The two maids stood one behind the other, and there was Lu Jinkang at his side to help him from time to time, so it only took about half an hour to climb over the cliff.

Standing on the top of the cliff, Su Yunduo realized that this was a small valley. Su Yunduo sniffed his nose, and could vaguely smell the smell of wine.

Looking at the snow-covered valley under the cliff, Su Yunduo pursed her lips, feeling happy.

The smell of wine can still be smelled in such a climate, which shows that there are not a few kiwi trees in this valley.

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult. The road from Zhuangzi is already very difficult, but it is even more difficult to go from the cliff to the valley. In addition, the rotting leaves here are thicker, and the snow seems to be thicker. It is possible to step down inadvertently. I couldn't get it out, but fortunately Su Yunduo was wearing a pair of buckskin boots, so I wasn't afraid that the snow would get in the shoes and my feet would be frozen, it's just that it was more difficult to walk.

Fortunately, the slope here is not too steep, and the road is not too long. They soon arrived at the kiwi forest that Zhang Ping'an and the others found.

Squat down and reach out to scrape away the snow under the tree, revealing the rotten fruit on the ground. At the same time, there is naturally a smell of wine, but it is more of the smell of rotting leaves.

Su Yunduo struggled to walk in the valley. After all, it was difficult to walk all the way because of the snow, and he felt a little regretful, but he also had a bottom line. This valley is about ten acres in size, and not all of them are kiwi trees, but Most of them are kiwifruit trees, which may be grown naturally. The distance between trees is relatively small. In some places, the trees grow together. The kiwifruit trees are said to be trees, but they should be vine-shaped trees.

To make kiwi fruit grow well, it is necessary to carry out pruning and scaffolding.

Winter pruning is the best pruning. During winter pruning, try to make the fruiting vines on the main vines evenly distributed on the frame. Specific gravity, in order to increase the yield of kiwifruit.

If you want to use this kiwifruit forest to brew new fine wine, you need to increase the production of kiwifruit, so there are two things to do right now, one is to remove miscellaneous trees, and the other is to prune the branches for winter cutting and set up a frame.

It's just that this kiwi fruit forest was discovered a little later. It is really difficult to break ground and remove miscellaneous trees this season, but pruning and erecting can be done, but there is no one who knows how to do it.

Su Yunduo himself only knows a little about furs, but he can tell Zhang Pingan about these furs and let him try it. After all, it is better than not repaired.

When the group returned to Zhuangzi, it was already noon, and the lady of Pengzhuangtou had prepared hot water, tea and meals for them. After using them, Su Yunduo finally felt that he was alive again.

"Since the girl said so, the slave will boldly lead others to try it, and will never kill the tree. I guarantee that next year our winery will produce new fine wine." Waiting for Su Yunduo to make gestures with Zhang After Ping'an explained how to set up a frame and pruning branches, Zhang Ping'an took over the job without saying a word, but in this way, Yang Jiaji might not be able to take care of it anymore.

However, topdressing has been completed at Yangjiaji, and all the manure pits have been dug. Lin Zhuangtou is leading the men in the village to collect swill and pig manure. It seems that the harvest is still quite a lot. In a few days, the ten The big pit can be filled with fat.

"I have other plans at the Yangjiaji. You don't need to go there anymore. You have worked hard these days. Peng Zhuangtou remembers to kill two pigs to add food to everyone during the Chinese New Year." Su Yunduo had already planned in his heart, and ordered Peng Zhuang nodded.

This Zhuangzi has three main income points, one is the Japonica rice produced on the [-] mu of land, the other is the grapes and inter-planted vegetables from the vineyard, and the third is a small pig farm.

This pig farm is located in Shanwozi, the northernmost part of Zhuangzi, about three or four miles away from the winery, and is downstream of the winery, so it does not affect the environment of the winery.

Having received this reward from Su Yunduo, Peng Zhuangtou was overjoyed and bowed to Su Yunduo, almost knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing that it was only ten days before New Year's Eve, there was no news of any rewards.

I thought that I just changed masters this year, and I thought the new master was younger than I thought so much, and I didn't expect to add an extra pig compared to previous years.

"In the kiwifruit forest, Peng Zhuangtou needs to help Ping An a lot. If you have time, it is best to find out the miscellaneous trees one by one. After the new year's weather is better, find time to remove these miscellaneous trees.

There is no need to worry about pruning and erecting. First, choose one or half an acre of trees to try, and see what the output will be next year, and then explore slowly. " Su Yunduo wanted to rush back to the hot spring villa to accompany Mrs. Lu to soak in the hot spring, before leaving, he specifically reminded her.

Peng Zhuangtou and Zhang Ping'an nodded their heads in agreement.
