Chapter 67 67 Nursery in Exchange for Food

Chapter 67 67. Nursery for a change of food

Song Tan raised his eyebrows and looked over with a clear and sharp gaze. Zhang Yanping felt that the familiar good-tempered cousin in front of him had not only changed her personality, but also her eyes seemed to be penetrating.

But soon, Song Tan's face was full of a very tolerant smile:

"Brother Yanping, do you have any recommendations?"

Zhang Yanping was a little unnatural.

There are actually many choices for plants with thorns that can be used as protective walls. However, Zhang Yanping ranked them comprehensively and first excluded a series of plants that can be found in most nurseries, such as wolfberry and sea buckthorn.

Of course, in terms of protective power alone, these plants are indeed not as good as golden cherry.

This thing grows completely irrationally, with big and small thorns together, and the hairy thorns are all over the body.

From leaves to fruits, none of them are innocent.

The most important thing is that its branches are flexible and long, the vines are entangled together, and the old branches are still very hard. It's not short!

If this grows into a protective layer, it will be tall and thick. It was the kind that you couldn't tear open even a crack even with a pair of scissors.

If someone could get in, he would be a real hero, and he wasn't making a random recommendation.

But now his little cousin seemed to understand everything, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, this didn't affect him from continuing to say what he thought:

"You see, it's hard to find a golden cherry nursery, right? But I, your humble cousin, just happen to know such a nursery."

When he got closer, Zhang Yanping's white and round face looked particularly sincere.

"But, Tan Tan, look, this is also a skill for my cousin, right? Don't think like my mother that I'm just playing around."

"We are relatives, I don't want your agency fee, you just ask me to stay in my hometown and eat and drink well during this period of time - except for working in the fields."

Song Tan also smiled: "Brother Yanping, if it were normal times, I would definitely agree to you. But don't forget that you have been sent to the village for labor reform."

"If you don't work, you can't stay here for a few days, because your aunt will definitely think that you are delaying our work."

Look at Brother Yanping, how strong he is! It is a great waste not to swing the hoe.

Song Tan also persuaded:

"Cousin, our family doesn't have any heavy labor now, all of them are trivial work."

This is true, the next step is breeding, picking tea, picking vegetables, digging ditches and picking tea.

Oh, you have to add digging holes to plant golden cherries, feeding pigs, chickens and ducks, and educating puppies.

In general, these jobs are much easier than digging mountains.

Song Tan also wanted to proceed step by step.

Digging ditches today, planting golden cherries in the mountains tomorrow, and then planting rice in the fields... Isn't that too much?

Therefore, her voice was even more persuasive:

"You go home, and your aunt dislikes you every day. It's obvious that you found the channel for imported fruits at home, but she still thinks you are just eating for free. Do you feel wronged?"

This is not that the aunt and uncle are harsh on their son. It's mainly that people of their generation think that as long as they don't work hard, then the way is not serious.

As for finding a channel for imported fruits... What channel? The purchase price is so expensive! If the market is not really hot, the overly honest couple would not dare to try it.

"But it's different here. My mother likes you. You just need to help a little. You will be treated first-class at home!"

"Besides, you know the taste of the vegetables in my field. Just move a little and get three bowls of good food. Isn't it worth it?"

Zhang Yanping opened his mouth, but was speechless in the end.

He knew that if he didn't work every day at his aunt's house, not to mention his own mother, his aunt's family would not be able to cope with it. After all, they are really busy.

After thinking for a long time, he said: "Qiao Qiao said there are purslane buns at home. Heat two more for me. If they are delicious, I will contact the nursery for you later."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Tan Tan, in fact, this thing can be propagated by cuttings, and you can also sow seeds. It is very simple to grow. If you are not in a hurry to protect the mountain forest, go to the wild in this weather to find a tree, and propagate it in sections. It will be almost the same in two or three years."

Song Tan was helpless - cuttings can work, but she can't grow it all at once with her spiritual energy, right?

"It's urgent. The chestnut forest is far away and the area over there is large, almost four mu, with more than 500 chestnut trees."

This is not considered large in the local area, because there are many chestnut forests larger than this one on the rolling hills.

However, as time goes by, many farmers no longer rely on this for their livelihood, and everyone's attitude towards chestnuts has become more perfunctory.

Some cut them down, and some keep them, but they don't take care of them much.

In Song Tan's memory, when she was a child, whenever the chestnuts were about to mature, she would often go up the mountain to watch them to prevent someone from stealing them.

But now, if they are ripe, they are ripe, and no one will take a second look.

If someone comes to the town to buy them, they will pick some chestnuts to sell, and if there are no more, it doesn't matter.

After all, there are really not many strong laborers in every household.

Many people who can work have already packed their bags and gone to work in the season when chestnuts are ripe.

There is not even fertilizer in the forest. It is really difficult for farmers to make money and they are powerless.

"Now our family has no manpower to take care of it day and night. Black fungus and white fungus only occupy part of the forest. We will plant other species later - how can we have time to wait for the golden cherry blossoms to grow up? Buy the mature ones first. Plant it.”

Zhang Yanping frowned: "If it can grow in one year, then it will take three to five years to grow a large seedling - the price is not low."

"Especially you need the original species with thorns. Nowadays, in large-scale cultivation, most of the species are cultivated without thorns."

"Calculating, one tree costs about fifteen yuan. How many trees do you want?"

Song Tan thought about the border area of ​​the chestnut forest. If there was spiritual energy to stimulate the growth, the adult plants could be planted sparsely. There would be two layers inside and outside the fence, and each layer would be staggered two meters apart -

"A total of two hundred trees is enough."

Zhang Yanping thought for a while and then hesitated: "Tan Tan, your investment in farming is not small. Do you plan to keep doing it?"

He didn't believe that Song Tan was lying to his mother, saying that he would rest at home for a while and plant some land...

Song Tan nodded:

"Brother Yanping, don't worry about money. I've been selling vegetables every day during this period. The milkvetch you ate today costs twenty yuan a pound."

All the money from selling wild vegetables was spent on this pickup truck. Ziyun Ying has been sold for several days, and another ten or twenty thousand has been recorded.

Next, with the addition of overseas and large-scale transactions, it is not a problem to continue to earn another 30,000 yuan.

Although Song Tan has a lot of things to do, the overall investment has actually been paid back one after another.

Not to mention there’s tea! This season's spring tea is enough for their family to make money.

Zhang Yanping did not express surprise at the 20 yuan dish, nor did he think Song Tan should come back to farm. Instead, he nodded:

"It's worth the price. Just have a plan in mind."

Then he picked up the phone without hesitation: "I will help you contact the nursery now."

"By the way, hurry up and heat up two of those purslane buns for me."

My cousin is a serious person, capable, and even reliable, but a bit lazy.
