Chapter 114 Found the Metasequoia Tree

() The person who came was the man Zhang wanted to talk to at noon, and Zhang Hongbing called him "landlord".It turned out that his ancestor was a big landlord in Zhangjiadian, and throughout his life, he was just like other villagers.

But he has no objection to everyone's calling in the past few years. The nickname "Landlord" is more popular than his original name!

"Hurry up and eat Xiangzi. After seeing the trees at my house, I want to dig some more peach trees to plant!" The landlord smiled, and his land had planted a lot of fruit trees.

I heard from other people earlier that Zhang Xiang spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy Zhang Laowu's peach tree that no one wanted.He didn't believe it until he went to dig the peach tree, and then he slapped his thigh. There are many fruit trees that no one wants in the house. Isn't this the pie in the sky?

"I have peach trees, pear trees, cherry trees, plum trees, apricot trees..."

The landlord was a little excited, singing like a song, and read the fruit trees at home, hoping to attract Zhang Xiang's special attention.

"Okay, let's go and see right away, how many apricot and cherry trees are there in your house?"

Since there was something to do, Zhang wanted to eat [-]% full so he put the bowl away, washed his face and went out with the landlord.On the way he began to inquire about the number of each tree!

"There are nine apricot plum trees, and seven or eight cherry trees that have been bearing fruit for several years! The plum trees are the most, with thirty or forty trees! There are four grape trees, and they are crystal grapes, which are big and sweet!"

The landlord introduced the fruit trees at home. The location of Zhang’s house is too remote. It’s not easy to go to the city to sell fruit once. not much!

"So little, what should I do if I buy it?"

Zhang Xiang was a bit hesitant. There are too few trees, and management is a hassle. They cannot be produced in batches, and people can’t fill a truckload of goods. The cost has increased, and many people are unwilling to go to the mountains!

"Quite a few. There are quite a few others in my area who also want to sell trees, which are similar to my tree species!"

The landlord was in a hurry. He didn't expect Zhang Xiang to ask for the number of fruit trees. The cherries are easy to rot, and no one would plant too many!If all the fruit trees to be sold were gathered together, there would be thousands of them!

The landlord's house is in the north of the village, where there are fewer people and more land, and the family has dozens of acres of mountain land.The front and back of the house are also very spacious, and fruit trees can be seen everywhere!

The landlord brought Zhang Xiang over, yelled a few times, and told his son to find someone. After a while, there were seven or eight villagers at his door, all of whom seemed to want to sell fruit trees!

"I have three requirements for the fruit tree I want. One is that it can survive, the other is that it has borne fruit last year, and the third is that the more the tree, the better!"

Zhang wants to see all the people here, so he first speaks out his request, and then listens to their opinions.

"If you plant a tree now, you will definitely live without damaging the roots!"

"Our fruit trees have been bearing fruit for several years, and they are still alive!"

"It depends on what kind of tree you want. There are many peach trees, pear trees, and plum trees. Cherries and apricot plums may be much less!"

Zhang wanted to listen to them talking, and he understood in his heart that peaches and pears are easy to transport and are not afraid of rot, so many people grow them.Cherries and apricots are easy to rot, and the mountain roads in Zhangjiadian are not easy to walk. Few people come to harvest fruits from other places, so those kinds are reserved for eating!

"I'll look at the tree first, and then I'll quote a price, and you can sell it if it suits you!" Zhang Xiang still decided to look at the tree first, and then decide on the price!

The first one I went to was the landlord’s house. His fruit trees were all in the backyard on a hillside. Dozens of them were sparsely planted. Some of the trees were more than ten centimeters in diameter. They were estimated to be six or seven years old. The holes were a few cherries. The tree, because it is planted alone, has very lush branches!

Beside the cherry tree, there is a straight and straight trunk, with branches protruding sideways. The whole tree is like a pagoda. All the leaves have fallen off, leaving only the reddish-brown bark and branches. The whole tree is seven or eight meters long. Tall and looks beautiful!

"What kind of tree is this landlord? Why haven't I seen it before?" Zhang wanted to see that the tree looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what kind of tree it was, so he asked out of curiosity!

"I don't know. A few years ago, I found dozens of trees in a ravine in Ermei Mountain. I saw that the big tree could be used as furniture, so I dug a small one back. Who knew that the tree grew too slowly. It’s been several years and it’s less than ten meters high!”

The landlord laughed because he thought Ermei Mountain was too far away, so he got another tree and planted it, and made it into a chair when it grew up.If you know that it grows so slowly, you might as well cut down the big tree directly!

"Oh, so, there are 41 peach trees, plum trees, and pear trees. How about digging 61 apricot and cherry trees?" Zhang Xiang looked at the landlord's face and saw that he was very satisfied, and added:

"Sell me that tree for 30 yuan! It looks pretty to me!"

"30 yuan?"

The landlord was a little hesitant. A peach tree costs 40 yuan, but this tree is worth 50 yuan.But if Zhang wants to buy all his trees and bargain with him for 20 yuan, he will definitely not want other trees if he is annoyed!

Now Zhang Xiang is the only one who buys this kind of fruit-bearing tree. If he doesn’t buy it, no one will want it for 23!

"Okay, I'm also a straightforward person, so it's settled!" The landlord chuckled. In just a short while, these fruit trees have also been exchanged for thousands of dollars for him. Why do you think you are so lucky?

Zhang Xiang went around the village again and ordered more than 1000 trees. Among them, because the price of cherry trees was high, there were cherry trees in several nearby villages, and they all sold to him!

Watching the landlord plant the fir tree on the roadside to the farm, his heart was as sweet as drinking honey.When he came back from seeing the tree that day, he was still worried and checked it on the Internet, but he didn't expect that the tree that looked familiar turned out to be a metasequoia.

Metasequoia is a kind of deciduous tree. Metasequoia is the only extant species in Cupressaceae. In the world, only China has surviving wild Metasequoia, which can be regarded as the "living fossil" of the plant kingdom.

Zhang Xiang also hit it by mistake. On the university campus where he was studying, there was a Metasequoia that was surrounded and protected. At that time, he suddenly saw that it was very similar to the tree in the landlord's house, so he became concerned and deliberately offered it at a low price. Bought it back!

"Since the landlord said that there are metasequoias in Ermei's ravine, I'll go find them myself, dig them all up, and plant them on both sides of the road to the villa!"

The more Zhang Xiang thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't expect to be so lucky. The Metasequoia was obtained, not to mention the price. The key is that this thing is rare, and this is its biggest selling point!

Yinshan looked for Zhang and thought about it, but found that he was smiling at a tree. He looked left and right, but he didn't see anything tricky!

"Xiangzi, our herd of cattle is going to go up the mountain in a while, didn't you keep saying to go and have a look? You can go after you get ready!"

Yinshan has been busy collecting cattle these days, but there are few cattle sellers in the first month of the year. He collected twenty cattle from the dealers before sending them to the mountains!

They call that place a shooting range. There is water and grass, but the road is a bit far away and it takes four or five hours to go back and forth.So it is not worthwhile to send cattle up the mountain every time there are fewer!

"I'm going to prepare water and food, let's go together!"

When Zhang wanted to get everything ready, he saw that the cow was carrying straw and food, and Yinshan and two other people were waiting for him!

The leader was a big cow, 1.5 meters tall and very fat, with a rope in its nose. One person led it in front, and the other calves followed. Yinshan took a stick at the side. rush!

These cows have been fed at Zhang Xiang's house for a long time, and they are all in groups with each other. Some naughty calves run around, and after eating a few sticks from Yinshan, they become much more honest, obediently following behind the cows!

"Xiangzi, every time I send cows to the mountain, there are at least three people. What should I do if there are too many cows?"

Yinshan was a little worried. Now that he had forty cows, he kept his accounts tight. He hired a total of three people. If there were too many cows, these people might not be enough. Especially when delivering cows, if one ran away, it would be several Thousands!

"It's okay, I'll see if the road is good. If it doesn't cost much, let's build one!" Zhang thought that he went up the mountain this time to see if there was any need for road construction in that place!

Can I get back the money I spent in a short time!
