Chapter 241 234. Get the Kitchen (35)

Eva gave him the sapling, and introduced: "This is the sapling of Eucalyptus almond. Well, it's not a very precious tree, but it is very suitable for growing up with a town because it has a relatively long life span."

After knowing the name, Wang Bo knew the identity of the tree. Some time ago, when he was planning to plant trees on both sides of the road, he read information on most trees suitable for planting in New Zealand.

Almond Eucalyptus is a giant tree with a long life span. It is native to the grasslands of Australia and can generally grow to more than 100 meters. The general tree is 14 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a 50-story building!

This tree is called Tutu Tamu by the Maori, which translates to "the tallest tower in the world of trees".

In addition to its amazing height, it also has a weird place, that is, the almond eucalyptus trees can grow extremely tall, but there is almost no shadow under the trees. This is because its leaves are slender and curved, and the side faces upwards. The leaf surface is parallel to the direction of sunlight projection, as if hanging on a tree branch. The sunlight can pour down from the gaps in the leaves without blocking the light.

Wang Bo took the sapling and said happily: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Eva, you are so considerate. I will plant this tree at the intersection of Highway No. 8 entering the town. I believe it will become a landmark tree in the future." Tree."

Almond Eucalyptus grows very fast. Although it is just such an inconspicuous small tree, as long as the living environment is suitable, it can grow into a tree with a height of more than ten meters in four or five years, and then start to grow faster against nature. long trip.

Eva smiled and said, "I thought you would plant it on the wetland by the lake. It can repel mosquitoes, you know?"

Wang Bo did know that when he learned about Eucalyptus apricot, the first introduction he saw was that the root system of this tree was 30 meters long, the roots were deep and wide, and the water absorption capacity was particularly large. nickname.

What Eva said is actually not true, it can not drive away mosquitoes, but can cut off the breeding of mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes mostly lay eggs in swampy wetlands and stagnant pools full of sewage. Almond eucalyptus has a strong water absorption capacity. Planting in this environment can absorb a large amount of surrounding water. In this way, without sewage, there will be no mosquitoes.

It absorbs a lot of water and evaporates a lot of water. It is said that this tree can evaporate 175 tons of water every year when it grows up, which is amazing.

At the beginning, Wang Bo wanted to plant almond eucalyptus. He wanted to plant a forest of giant trees. First, it could beautify the environment, and second, it could generate economic benefits.

You must know that the wood of almond eucalyptus is an excellent material for making boats, cars, and poles. The wires in Sunset Town are not cement poles, but charred almond eucalyptus trunks.

In addition, valuable tannins, or gums, are extracted from the trees of this tree. Its leaves have a special fragrance, which can be used to refine eucalyptus oil. One of the main raw materials of eucalyptus sugar is eucalyptus oil, which has the effect of cooling and relieving cough.

But later, after a detailed study, I realized that almond eucalyptus is not suitable for large-scale planting around farms and pastures, because its water absorption capacity is too strong, it will cause serious damage to groundwater resources, and it will compete with crops and pastures for water.

However, a small amount of planting is fine. It would be more suitable if it is planted at the entrance of the road in the town. Once it grows to more than 100 meters, it can indeed become a landmark plant in Sunset Town.

After getting the almond eucalyptus, Wang Bo didn't go to work, so he went to the soldier's uncle Benjamin to borrow a military shovel, and happily took Eva and Dai'er to plant trees.

Benjamin's son, the soldier Gerald, raised two pitbulls. These two little guys had fierce faces, and when they saw Lao Wang enter the door, they put on an attacking posture.

As a result, they barked twice, and the strong man rushed over when he heard the news. He didn't need to speak, but just gave the two pit bulls a look, and the latter immediately shut their mouths cowardly.

Pitbulls are used exclusively as fighting dogs, and they are fierce breeds that are not allowed in cities in New Zealand. But in the face of several heavyweight men who were bigger than them, the two guys didn't have the slightest temper.

They have been abused by the strong man, the strong man went to work with Lao Wang, wandered around the town when he had nothing to do, and cleaned up all the dogs raised by the townspeople.

Wang Bo chose the place to plant trees at the east entrance of Highway 8 entering the town, that is, the direction entering the town from Aocheng.

It is more than 30 kilometers away from the center of the town, surrounded by vast and flat grasslands, and a tree more than 100 meters high on the ground is even more shocking.

A tree was planted, and a fat rabbit ran out of the bushes. The strong man turned around and chased after him. After running a few steps, he jumped up, opened his mouth to catch the rabbit, and then ran away with his mouth in his mouth. return.

Eva patted its head and said with a smile: "Wow, Zhuang Ding is really a capable child."

Wang Bo invited Eva and Daier to drink coffee and eat desserts in the dessert house. The former owner of the M151E2 Jeep, Harris Born, came to the town some time ago and rented a small building with a friend. The first floor is a dessert shop. The second floor is a coffee shop.

Seeing this, Eva said: "If you want to eat some desserts, there is no need to spend money here, go to my house, I think the desserts I make are not bad."

Little Lolita nodded after hearing this: "Yeah, my sister's cooking is very, very, very bad, but her desserts are very, very, very good!"

Wang Bo does not pursue the taste of desserts. He doesn’t usually eat snacks—desserts are a kind of meal for New Zealanders, and they are snacks for him.

However, it felt good to be a guest at Eva's new house, so he readily agreed.

Harris, who was entertaining customers, saw them. He waved and asked, "Mayor, do you want to try my craft? I heard that you are a good cook, but you must not be able to make desserts like mine."

Wang Bo said with a smile: "Of course, I admit this, but I'm not here to eat, uh, I just drive by here to say hello to you, goodbye!"

The jeep left in a hurry, and Harris was complacent in the back: I seem to have a status in the town, and the mayor came here to say hello to me.

Eva lives in the residential area of ​​the town, which is still a building block house. It is located at the east end of the first row, far away from China Road, quiet and peaceful.

When passing by the convenience store, Wang Bo asked if he wanted to buy some condiments. Eva shook her head and said that she often made desserts, so the utensils and raw materials at home were sufficient.

After getting off the car, Eva invited Wang Bo to sit in the living room and watch TV, while she went to the kitchen to prepare desserts.

How could Old Wang be in the mood to watch TV while sitting on the sofa? Looking at the beautiful teacher who is busy in the kitchen, my heart throbs: I can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen, a good wife and mother!
