My village can't be like this

Chapter 160 Planting Trees and Breeding
The whole family of Zhang An's family was mobilized, and the seven adults before and after were completely enough.

And Zhang Tie and Zhang Xing, the two half-grown children, can also come to help.

The children of poor people have already been in charge of the family. When Zhang An was in his teens, he had already gone to work with the adults in the family with a hoe.

"Anzi, how do you think this tree will be planted?"

The second aunt held a kiwi fruit sapling and asked Zhang An.

Second Aunt and the others are no strangers to planting trees, especially when they helped Zhang An plant such a large orchard not long ago.

For other saplings, dig a hole with a hoe and start planting. At most, you should pay attention to the depth of the hole, and there is nothing else to pay attention to.

But this is the first time the kiwi tree has been planted, so I asked Zhang An carefully before starting work.

But Zhang An is also a half-baked guy, not a professional.

"Second Aunt, it's also my first time planting, so you can just follow the previous experience, dig a bigger hole, and when planting it, just straighten the roots below several times."

As Zhang An said, he used a hoe to demonstrate to everyone.

Anyway, the trees were planted casually, and Zhang An would water them later.

This piece of land was originally mostly humus, and the soil was inherently soft.

Second Uncle and the others specially came to plow the fields, and digging holes in such land is effortless.

The difficulty of planting trees is greatly reduced, but it is also because the land is soft, and the roots of the trees must be firmly stepped on after planting.

Several adults in the family saw that Zhang An had planted two trees, and it was indeed very simple.

They all started to work with hoes. Zhang Tie and Zhang Xing were not very accurate, so they just dug holes.

"Second Uncle, your whole family is busy here, what are you going to plant in this field?"

The mountain road next to it is the only way to enter the mountain. There are many villagers coming and going
Seeing so many people in Zhang An's family, they all stopped to chat for a few words.

Zhang Laosan looked at Zhang An and his family busy in the field, thinking that they were planting some kind of crops.

"This is going to plant sheep and peaches. Where is the third child going to make a living?"

Although he was talking to others, the work in his hand was not idle.

"I just came back from looking at the crops from the field."

When Zhang Laosan heard that these were sheep peaches, he was not in a hurry to go home.

Although Zhang An talked about the hype at the village chief's house years ago, no family really wanted to try it.

The same is true of Zhang Laosan. After Zhang An said it, he was also very moved.

But after returning home, my heart, which had just warmed up, cooled down.

It is difficult for them to make up their minds without seeing the actual benefits.

But seeing the two brothers Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianye today, they have already started to make this thing.

And it seems that there are quite a lot of saplings to be planted here. There are a bunch of saplings on the ground.

So Zhang Laosan started to grumble in his heart at this moment, because before everyone thought that no matter how good Zhang An said, before seeing the money, everyone didn't believe that he would be able to make money.

But now the two brothers have taken the first step, and others are still thinking about it. These two have already planted.

Zhang Laosan didn't think that Zhang An would lie to his two uncles.

In the village, who doesn't know that Zhang Jian's brothers are notoriously harmonious and united.

Looking at it, Zhang Laosan simply ran from the road to the field, wanting to take a closer look at how the sheep peaches are planted.

I muttered in my heart to learn some experience, and when I go back, I will also get some planting at home.

"The ones you planted are all sheep peach seedlings. I thought they were sheep peach trees dug directly from the mountains."

"There are indeed many in the mountains, not to mention the work of planting or not, but to dig hundreds of sheep and peach trees, I am afraid that several mountains will have to be turned over."

Uncle Zhang's first thought was to dig in the mountains. If Zhang An didn't know how to deal with saplings, he would really dig in the mountains.

"Besides, the sheep peaches dug from the mountain are different in taste and size. Some are delicious and some are not too sour. It will be difficult to choose at that time."

"Second uncle is right, but it's not easy to get such a batch of saplings. Where did you buy the saplings?"

Since it was not dug in the mountains, it must have been cultivated by someone.

"These seedlings were cultivated by our family Zhang An himself."

Hearing this, Zhang Jianjun and the others said it directly, and they didn't intend to hide it.

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he remembered that the loess slope that Zhang An had contracted before was all saplings made by himself.

What's more, this little sheep peach seedling.

Knowing what he wanted to know, Zhang Laosan didn't stay long, and went down the mountain to go home.

Zhang Laosan left, and Wang Laosan and Li Laosan came to the field again.

Some people left after asking a few questions, and some people, like Zhang Laosan, stopped and watched for a long time.

The old village head learned that the two brothers Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianye were growing kiwifruit.

I happened to be free at the moment, so I ran to the ground to have a look.

"Anzi, is there anything special about this tree? Tell me about it."

The old uncle came to the field and planted it himself.

"This tree is about saying more and saying more, and saying less and saying less."

Zhang An then reasoned and told the old uncle what he knew.

In the end, the old uncle nodded in satisfaction. He was going to the town for a meeting tomorrow, and he could talk about this matter.

But before you speak, you have to understand something yourself, and you can only speak in front of others.

In this kind of land, Zhang arranges 150 to [-] seedlings per mu.

So there are more than 600 saplings in the four acres of land.

With so many people in the family and hundreds of trees planted, it was quite fast.

By five or six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was about to darken, more than three mu of land had been planted.

There are only more than 100 saplings that have not been planted. The second uncle and the third uncle mean that they will make up for it tomorrow morning.

But Zhang An thought, this is not to make a living for outsiders, they are all a family, and they do their own work by themselves, so it is okay to be late.

So the third aunt was asked to take the swallow home to cook in advance, and the rest of the people planted the remaining less than an acre of land before it was dark.

In this way, it will save the procrastination to come here the next day, and the sapling will not do well tomorrow.

But planting it as soon as possible is better for the growth of the saplings.

In the evening, Zhang An's family left Yanzi's house and returned home after dinner.

After a while, Zhang Laosan came to the door.

"Anzi, I went back and discussed it with your sister-in-law, and I also want to sell a few acres of sheep peaches. See if you can give your third brother some advice."

Zhang Laosan came over, and after sitting down for a while, he got straight to the point and said the business.

"There's nothing to say about that."

Zhang An smiled, and then told Zhang Laosan again what he had said to the old uncle during the day.

When Zhang Laosan heard it now, he couldn't help but rejoice that he came to ask.

If you look at it a few times during the day and go back blind, it will definitely not work.

"Anzi, I plan to redistribute two or three acres of land. See if you can get the seedlings from you. How many seedlings are needed?"

Zhang Laosan thought about it for a while, and still wanted to buy seedlings from Zhang An.

And during the day, Second Uncle Zhang An also told him about the shortcomings of some wild plants, and he still believed it.

"Why doesn't the third brother want to go to the mountain and dig directly?"

Hearing that Zhang Laosan had the idea of ​​buying seedlings for himself, Zhang An was a little surprised.

"Although it is possible to dig in the mountains, as my second uncle said, it is not easy to live, and it is not easy to dig so much back."

Zhang Laosan is not a fool, if the tree dug from the mountain is good, the two uncles of Zhang An's family will not catch the sapling and plant it.

I thought to myself, since I don't know how to do it, I should follow the people who know how to do it.

If you can't write your homework, why don't you know how to copy your homework?

So Zhang Laosan went back and thought about it, and after making up his mind, he wanted to do the same thing as the two brothers Zhang Jianjun.

Whatever they do, they do it themselves, at worst, they will buy more things when they come to ask.

"The place chosen by my second uncle and the others is better. I lined up [-] to [-] seedlings for them."

"It depends on the fatness and thinness of the land. If the land is good, it will be around [-]. If the land is thinner, it will be less depending on the situation. [-] or even [-] will be enough."

Asked where Zhang Laosan planned to plant it, Zhang Laosan said that he would also plant it at Qing's feet.

With a good vision, Zhang An also nodded. That circle is really good, and the vegetables grown are bigger than other places.

In the end Zhang An gave him a number of three hundred and fifty-six as a reference.

He also readily accepted, and readily asked Zhang An the price, and he would give the money on the spot.

Zhang An's seedlings were originally not intended to be sold, but were intended to be supplied to the two uncles' homes and planted in his own home.

But Zhang Laosan spoke up, and Zhang An didn't refuse.

In fact, Zhang Anpeimiao didn't need much work, but it was impossible not to charge money.

The people in the village are not Zhang An's two uncles. Zhang An's family is busy with everything.

Zhang An also knows the truth that small kindness nourishes nobles and great kindness nourishes enemies.

In the end, Zhang An only sold them according to the normal local price of fruit tree seedlings.

Originally, Zhang An could sell more expensive ones, and those produced in space must be much better than those artificially cultivated in later generations.

And no one has started to do it yet, Zhang An can definitely live in rare goods.

But this is the beginning of promotion. If it is expensive, others are not willing to spend so much money. The main reason is that everyone does not have much money in their pockets.

Before Zhang Laosan left, he wanted Zhang An to go to the field to give guidance.

But where does Zhang An have anything to guide him, let him follow the example of his second uncle's family.

Zhang An looked at what his second uncle did, and it was very up to standard.

Waking up the next morning, Zhang An filtered out the watermelon seeds and strawberry seeds that had been soaked in the basin for a day yesterday.

While eating, Zhang An put them in the space to dry.

This thing can't be soaked for too long, but it can't be soaked for too short.

Moreover, it cannot be planted immediately after soaking, nor can it be delayed for a long time.

It happened that Zhang An ate a big bowl of noodles, and the seeds placed in the space were now dry.

Anyway, there was still a lot of land left in the backyard. After Zhang An turned over the land, he began to dig a ridge.

After Wang Fang saw it, she asked Zhang An what he was going to do.

Knowing that Zhang An was going to start growing watermelon and strawberry seedlings, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo also took tools to work together.

For seedlings, Zhang An is definitely not as familiar with such work as his parents.

Although they have never raised watermelon seedlings or strawberry seedlings, Wang Fang has more than [-] years of experience in raising rice seedlings.

In her opinion, the seedling cultivation of these seeds should be no different from rice seedling cultivation.

As soon as the furrows were erected, Zhang An was ready to sow the seeds.

"Hey, what are you busy with, kid? You can't directly sow seeds."

After Wang Fang stopped Zhang An, she took out a large sieve from the side room next to her.

Then he and Zhang Jianguo began to dig and sieve the soil.

Sprinkle a layer of fine soil sifted through a sieve on top of these well-made furrows.

"Do you know, this kind of seed should be sprinkled on the fine soil, so that it will be easier to germinate."

While sifting the soil, Wang Fang explained to her son.

After Zhang An opened it for a while, he took the sieve from Wang Fang's hand.

His strength is stronger, so the speed of sifting soil is much faster.

Wang Fang didn't start sowing seeds until the furrows were covered with fine soil.

She is so proficient at this kind of work, the seeds that have been sown are evenly distributed on the furrows.

Wait until the seeds are spread evenly, and sieve again to cover with a layer of fine soil.

Finally, Zhang An took the watering can and sprinkled a stream of space spring water on these mounds covered with soil.

When these processes are completed, these ridges will be covered with film.

Film covering is very convenient in this era, and every household has to raise rice seedlings, so every family has a lot of plastic paper.

Zhang An and the others did not cover the plastic paper directly.

Instead, it is necessary to build a small greenhouse structure with bamboo slices on the ridge, and then cover it with plastic paper.

This is good for heat preservation. The weather in early spring changes a lot, especially at night when the temperature is very low, which is not conducive to seed germination.

But if the sun is out during the day, you need to open both ends of this "greenhouse".

At noon when the sun is very strong, the plastic paper has to be uncovered.

If it is not uncovered, it will cause burnt seedlings.

Raising seedlings is a delicate job, which is completely different from planting trees.

There is strength in planting trees, and they can be planted quickly if they are fast.

And this way of raising seedlings is not something that can be speeded up with just a lot of strength.

So Zhang An's family scattered these seeds and covered them with film, and they disappeared for most of the day.

Ding Yi called at night.

"Zhang An, are you at home tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhang An was curious, why did this person ask about himself so well, Lao Ding is a busy man, especially after the supermarket opened.

"It's good to be here. I'll come over tomorrow to have dinner and discuss something with you."

"Well, come on, I've been at home for the past few days. If you come and find that we're not there, then ask Uncle Li next to you. We may be working in the den."

"Come on, remember to tell my aunt that I haven't eaten her spicy chicken for a long time, and I miss it very much."

After Ding received Zhang An's reply, he chatted with Zhang An.

Every time this person calls, he always talks about the business first, and then starts chatting after the business is finished.

"Don't worry, if you come to our house, you will be hungry."

Zhang An has long been very familiar with Ding Yi, who has the old Tie attribute.

But such a person is also interesting. In just a few decades of life, he must eat and drink well to be worthy of himself.

"By the way, how is your supermarket doing now?"

Ding Yi, this is the first large-scale general supermarket in the county and even in the province, although Zhang An only mentioned it that time.

But Ding Yi in the back is thinking about it, and he has done enough homework.

Now with the support of my family, I have opened the supermarket.

"Business is very good. I went to see it for several days, and the flow of people is very large."

Speaking of this, Ding Yi was very happy.

"And now many people in the county like to go shopping after get off work."

"It's fine if the business is good. Your investment is not small. I don't want to lose money like this."

"Don't worry, judging from the situation in the past two months, there will definitely be no losses."

Now Ding Yi's supermarket can be said to be a landmark building in the county.

Many people go to the supermarket when they have nothing to do, even if they don't buy anything.
