Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 106 Balcony Vegetable Garden
Speaking of planting trees, it was really not easy to plant trees in Zhuo Feng and Fengxing's small apartment, which was narrow enough but not spacious enough. The small apartment can accommodate three large living people is already very good.

Zhuo Feng left home for a while, and Feng Xing was busy with work again, dust had accumulated on the furniture at home.The aunt and nephew packed up all their luggage, sorted out a lot of cardboard boxes, and the space in the house seemed to be larger, but there was just no place to plant extra orange trees.

"This apartment-style apartment was built in 1990. It was sold to us by an old professor couple before they went abroad. The house is in good condition, but the lighting and design are not good enough, and there is not even a balcony," Zhuo Feng said regretfully. Open the window.Old-fashioned buildings are generally not built high. In BJ, where high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms, such small buildings and small households will be submerged in the buildings sooner or later.

Zhuo Feng’s house is on the fourth floor of the old apartment, and there is a balcony when you go up. In summer, the sunlight is strong, and the room is like a large steamer. The wind from the fan is hot. This summer is Zhuo Feng's most painful season.

Since Xiao Zhang’s family, who lived on the second floor, was attacked by burglars two months ago, Fengxing had someone install anti-theft windows on the windows. The plane protruding from the window sill became the only place in the house where a few potted green plants could be placed.

Zhuo Feng sprayed a few pots of aloe vera and spider plants with some water, and seeing Xiao Xian was still looking at the window, "Don't look, how big the window can be, the orange tree you brought is more than one meter high, and it won't be able to grow there. of."

"Guy, I see there is a balcony upstairs," Xiao Xian looked at the roof.The city is different from Gecun, no one is repairing tile-roofed houses, the north is less rainy than the south, and most of them are bungalows. This six-story old apartment actually has six and a half floors, and half of the floors are upstairs balconies.

"There is a balcony. But it has been abandoned a long time ago. Your uncle thought it was hot, so he went up to water the ground to cool the ground in summer. It is said that the balcony is full of old furniture from old users. I don't know how many years it has been piled up." Zhuo Feng I picked off the old leaves on the potted plants casually.

"We tidied up the space on the balcony and planted some fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants on it. The plants provide shade and it will be cooler in summer," said Gecun.But in a place like BJ, there are few lands and many people. If such a large balcony is filled with soil, there will be at least two acres of unused land.

"Our Xiaoxian is very clever, why have I never thought of this level?" Before Zhuo Feng was busy with the forestry bureau, she didn't have time to take care of the roof. After resigning, she was busy going to Guizhou to find Xiaoxian. Xian, now that her niece has been found and the school has been found, she has no idea what she will do next, so she can't stay idle all the time.

Zhuo Feng didn't go to the lobby downstairs, but said that the neighbors in the apartment were not very familiar with each other. Anyway, the roof was empty, and it was a good thing to dispose of the old things on the roof.

Xiaoxian also guessed from this incident that the relationship between neighbors in the city is different from that in the mountain village. Each family cares about its own family, and there is a little less affection.

Zhuo Feng and Xiao Xian spent another whole afternoon and spent 20 yuan to find some porters. They moved two old sofas and chairs, one old bookshelf, one broken bathtub, and some broken pots in cardboard boxes.After moving downstairs, Zhuo Feng found another aunt who sold junk, and sold it for 50 yuan at a discount.

After Fengxing returned home, he saw only two dusty women sitting at the table drinking water. After hearing their plans, he asked back: "There is a place, but the problem is where do you get so many?" Soil over here?"

Xiaoxian felt strange when he heard that, he still had to think of ways to make this thing.But she forgot that this is not Ge Village, the mountains are full of inexhaustible soil, this is the city center far away from the suburbs.It is easy to find a few pots of soil for growing aloe vera and spider plants. Just go to the flower bed downstairs in the middle of the night and dig a few pots.But with two acres of land, wouldn't that mean hollowing out the green belt of the entire community?
"I've already made up my mind. I'll go to the flower and bird market to buy some fruits and vegetables seeds along the way. The nights are cool these few days, and you're at home again. If you spare some time, you can hang a light bulb on the roof. The bright ones are easy to tidy up." Zhuo With a big wave of Feng's hand, the matter was settled.

Feng Xing did not refute, he actually likes playing with flowers and plants, but the current living environment does not allow it.He carried the vegetables he bought from the market into the kitchen, and conveniently put a watermelon and a bag of oranges on the coffee table.

"Dining at home tonight?" Zhuo Feng slumped on the sofa. She and her husband have always worked together. Feng Xing is good at cooking, so he will do the cooking, and Zhuo Feng will clean up the dishes.But her bones are about to fall apart today, and she really doesn't have the energy to do the aftermath.The room was exposed to the sun, it was hot and stuffy, Zhuo Feng really didn't like to eat at home.

"The food outside is not clean. You have been busy all day today, so you don't have time to watch TV, right? It's been reported in the news. In Quanjude, several groups of customers brought their children to eat and vomited and diarrhea. They said it was food poisoning. One of the children is still unconscious at the moment," Feng Xing broke the cabbage, planning to make a shredded cabbage.

Zhuo Feng quickly turned on the TV, and Xiao Xian stared at the TV, thinking that something had happened.

The whole thing was being reported on the evening news. "Husband, it looks scary. Quanjude in Wangfujing, isn't that the one we ate that day? Should we also go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Shouldn't be necessary. The ones sent to the hospital are only children. The adults are all fine." Feng Xing was scraping the scales of a river fish, and the belly of the fish had already been dissected.

"I've already told them not to pick them. I guess they'll eat them after they pick them up," Xiaoxian said in a low voice, and Zhuo Feng couldn't hear it clearly.

"Xiaoxian, what are you talking about? What are you eating?" Zhuo Feng was peeling the oranges in her hands, and she wanted to praise Fengxing. The oranges she bought today are yellow and orange, and they are so beautiful. It's delicious.

"Wait, aunt, don't eat the oranges in your hand, last year." The skin has been peeled off, the kumquat looks like a small lantern, but the inside is dry and wrinkled, full of torn cotton wool.

"Which one is so wicked, selling oranges like this," Zhuo Feng opened the orange peel and saw that there was a small oval label on it, which said it was an Australian orange.

"What's the matter? Oranges are not tasty? I bought them for more than 20 yuan," Feng Xing said after washing his hands, before even taking off his apron, he came out.The apron of their house was originally bought by Zhuo Feng, a pink kitty cat apron, which Feng Xing tied up indiscriminately for the convenience of cooking.

Seeing a 1.7-meter-five big man wearing such a small pink apron, both Zhuo Feng and Xiao Xian burst out laughing.

After laughing, Zhuo Feng's voice rose another octave, "More than 20 yuan? It's just a pile of broken cotton wool. Which fruit stand is it? I'll take the oranges back."

"Girl, don't be impulsive, why are you like the yellow cattle of our village neighbors who bow their heads, and run around on the ground when they are bitten by mosquitoes and flies," Xiao Xian's description made Feng Xing laugh out loud Laughing, Zhuo Feng rolled his eyes at him.

"Xiaoxian, I'm not stingy. The people in the city are different from the people in your village. People here have a lot of eyes. They bullied you once. If you just forget it, there will be a third and fourth time. We can't take it seriously. I'm sorry for being dumb." Zhuo Feng was preaching earnestly, and when she spoke, there was inevitably some melancholy in her tone.She used to be the same as Xiao Xian, she wanted to make do with things if she could calm things down, but she was afraid after spending too much time in society.

"Whoever dares to say that my aunt is stingy, I will be the first to spare her. If the few oranges my uncle sold were not for people who know the way, they would not have been able to see it in advance. The tangerines in the batch of gold and jade are the same as the two bowls of rich and precious kumquats in front of Wangfujing Quanjude who don't know that they are the culprits who caused them a lot of trouble." The first half of Xiao Xian's sentence, It made Zhuo Feng smile, but the second half of her sentence bluffed both Feng Xing and Zhuo Feng.

But Xiaoxian is telling the truth, if she is not born with her own space and can tell at a glance, she will also think that these so-called Australian oranges are first-class oranges, just like Fengxing.

Zhuo Feng, who usually speaks like a machine gun, stuttered: "Xiao Xian, don't talk nonsense, you are talking about what is said in the news, not because there is a problem with the food in Quanju Delhi, but because of the two Is there a problem with the rich kumquat?"

Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing looked at each other in blank dismay. Ordinary citizens would cause as little trouble as possible, and they didn't want to be involved in public incidents either.But in the end, the conscience of the young couple overcame the idea that more things are worse than less things. After a quick meal, they rushed to Quanjude in Wangfujing.

The roast duck restaurant that was once crowded with people in the morning turned into a deserted scene today. As soon as the news came out, the parents of several children insisted that they ate roast duck at Quanjude last night. The next day, the children complained of stomach pains. He was taken to the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea.

As soon as Zhuo Feng and the others entered the store, the waiter at the door feebly declined: "Sir, Miss, I'm sorry, our store is closed today for rectification, and we are temporarily closed."

After explaining the whole story, the operation manager of the store received him personally.But he also refused to believe Xiaoxian's one-sided statement. If this statement was made by a senior expert, it would still be credible, but if it was said by a young female student, no one would believe it.

"Did you buy this tree in December last year? When you bought it, there were 99 oranges hanging on each tree?" Xiaoxian reported a series of numbers. made a strange gesture.

Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing looked at each other anxiously, like parents of children who have met their teacher.

"It seems to be, I need to check the information." The store manager has been cleaning up the kitchen all day today, hoping to find out the cause of the food poisoning. He didn't suspect the two orange trees at all.
"My guest, even if you are right. Even if there are problems with these two trees, but the things were bought in December last year, it would have happened long ago if something happened. And there were a few adult guests who picked the trees halfway. I’ve tried oranges, but I haven’t seen anything happen to them.” The store manager still didn’t quite believe Xiao Xian’s words, and made a gesture of seeing off customers.
