Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1226 Grafting Fruit Trees
The old couple of the Chen family were very happy today, and they felt more and more that it was good for their daughter to get married, and it would be nice to have a lively get together during this big festival.

Moreover, Xiangyun is going to have a baby, and it will be convenient to take care of her when the time comes. Xiangyun doesn't have a mother-in-law, so Li Shi has to take care of her.

There are several fruit trees in the courtyard of the Zhang family, and the table is placed in the shade of the trees, but it is not hot.

The people in the yard were chatting and laughing, but no one noticed that someone was watching outside. The man stood there for a while, then turned around and left.

It was noon at this moment, and there was no one outside, so Qiushi shed tears as he walked.

That's great, why did she leave in the first place?
If you are still a member of the Zhang family, you don't know how lucky you are now.

Qiu is now five months pregnant, and her belly is already obvious, but she and Wang Er are the only ones in the family. Wang Er carries meat to the village to sell meat during the day, and the family still has land, so she can only do the work.

Those who have a big holiday today have to go to work in the fields, and they are still pregnant.

She passed outside Zhang's house, and when she heard the bustle and bustle inside, she couldn't help but leaned over to take a look, who knew that the more she looked, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She really regrets it now, this is really retribution.

The Zhang family was lively, and the Ming residence was equally lively. The venison was still used for barbecue, and worried that it would not be enough, they also made some chicken, duck, fish, and vegetarian dishes. It took the family more than an hour to finish eating.

Xu Ruyue ate a lot, if it wasn't for Ming Lang who took care of her, she would probably be full.

"Hey, it would be nice if there was a holiday every day." Xu Ruyue said with a smile.

Mrs. Song laughed at her, "You can eat these delicious foods during festivals, but you treat yourself badly on weekdays, don't you?"

Xu Ruyue stuck out her tongue, "Mom, the festival is more fun, it's so lively."

Probably because she was too lonely in her previous life, so she especially likes this kind of lively feeling, and she likes everyone getting together to chat and laugh.

The weather is fine today, and it is suitable for watching the moon at night. We set up a table in the front yard, cut two large watermelons, put moon cakes and melon seeds on them, and made tea. It was another lively night.

Xu Pingqiu said, "Sister Yue, I've really had enough watermelon this year, I've eaten a lot, it's so sweet."

Xu Ruyue took a piece of watermelon and ate it, "It's almost gone. It's out of season and we have to wait until next year. If you like it, eat more. There are still a lot in the field."

Several servants also said, "I never imagined that I could eat so many watermelons before."

Xu Ruyue was happy to see everyone, and she was also happy in her heart.

This year the watermelons were sold for a lot of money. The watermelons on the seven or eight acres of land were not as fertilized as they were in the previous life, but they were handled well. One mu of land could produce [-] to [-] catties, which could be doubled in the previous life.

Several crops of watermelons can be produced, and the later ones are not as good as the first ones, but the price is also more expensive than ordinary watermelons.

So the watermelons on the seven or eight mu of land have already earned almost 500 taels of silver, and there are still the last crops in the field, which will be gone in September.

Xu Ruyue is very satisfied with this profit. After all, it is only watermelon, and there will be others in the future, such as peaches, plums, loquats, oranges and cherries. When these can be sold, the profit will be very considerable.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Ruyue asked Minglang to bring back those fruit tree branches that Minglang had found. This season was suitable for grafting, so they were specially sent back at this time.

For such an important matter, Xu Ruyue naturally had to do it by herself, grafting this technology, people at this time didn't know how to do it, so she had to teach her.

Now she is more than three months pregnant, and will soon be four months. Dr. Zhang said that the fetus is stable, and Xu Ruyue is very happy, which means that she can go out and do something.

Qingming was worried about her, so of course she wanted to follow her to the farm. Xu Ruyue changed into a cotton blouse and wore a turban on her head, she really looked like a woman who went to work in the fields.

Several older long-term workers in the farm were called to learn by her, but she still pressed her fingerprints to ensure that they would not tell this method.

This kind of technical stuff, still can't be taught casually, but if you do it yourself, you can't do it at all.

"The good branches of these varieties are found elsewhere, called scions, and these adult fruit trees, I asked everyone to go to the mountains to dig them back and plant them, which are called rootstocks. Now I want to graft these branches on the fruit trees, so that The fruit tree grows into a new fruit tree, retains the advantages of good varieties, and can also make the fruit tree bear fruit faster."

Xu Ruyue briefly explained the principle, and Lao Liu and the others were confused and surprised. Can this survive?
Xu Ruyue used the simplest branch grafting, which has a relatively high survival rate and is also simple. The time requirement is not so limited, and it can be done in early spring and early autumn.

She demonstrated it a few times, and everyone understood it. It is not easy to figure it out, but it is not difficult to see it.

Xu Ruyue told them the precautions, and then asked everyone to try it, while she watched from the sidelines.

Seeing that everyone is doing well, Lao Liu asked a few questions, and then he completely understood.

"Ma'am, go to the shade to rest, and ask you if you have any small questions. You should be pregnant, so don't tire yourself out." Old Liu said worriedly.

Xu Ruyue didn't intend to embarrass herself, she nodded, "I'll sit there for a while, Lao Liu, the field is entrusted to you, these branches are hard to come by, you have to keep an eye on them, don't waste them."

"Hey, don't worry, ma'am."

Manager Lin and Lao Liu were really capable, and they basically didn't make Xu Ruyue worry about it, but Xu Ruyue still stared at the field for several days, and this matter could not be delayed.

It took four days for the fruit trees in the field to be grafted, the crops had been harvested, and new fruit trees were being planted in the open space.

Xu Ruyue looked at her farm and smiled with satisfaction, "In a few years, this place will be full of fruits, and you can eat whatever you want, how wonderful it is."

Minglang took her hand, "Okay, with your small body, how much can you eat?"

"Hey, Mr., you don't need to come over tomorrow. This side is almost done, and the other end needs to be taken care of. The jasmine and chrysanthemums in the field are in bloom."

Minglang pinched her face, "Can't you be more peaceful?"

"No, hehe." Xu Ruyue smirked.

The flowers in the farm over there are mainly used to make perfume. The flowers must grow well, and some flowers must be picked to dry, and the sachets can also be used.

Xu Ruyue came up with a simple extraction method before, and she has tried it, and she can indeed make a perfume. The taste is not as strong as in her previous life, and the stability is not as stable, but at this time, it is already a very novel thing.

Flowers such as jasmine, gardenia, and rose are very suitable for making perfume. Although she is pregnant, there are no chemicals at this time, so making perfume has no effect, but there are not many flowers this year. Can make some to try.
