They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 308 The future can be expected!

The sky in my hometown is still the same as before. When the wind blows, the sky is filled with yellow sand, which makes the sky, ground, houses and people turn into that earthy yellow color.

Huo Mingjie, whose skin was so fair that he seemed incompatible with his hometown, easily jumped up the steps of the reservoir and looked at the large plantation in front of him.

The large tracts of yellow land still looked extremely barren, with only a few areas planted with hundreds of sparse trees with small branches.

It seems that this should be the old man's achievements this year.

It feels a little pitiful, and to the big eye, it seems that there is no change from last year.

But if you think about it carefully, it feels normal!
It would take several years to plant a fruit tree in a normal place, let alone such a harsh environment here in my hometown!

But at this time last year, there was really nothing in this place, so we barely built a shabby house for people to rest and put some farm tools and other things.

Now in just one year, asphalt roads, water reservoirs and irrigation systems have been built here, several bungalows have been built, and even electric wires have been pulled over.

Looking at it this way, it is already quite a progress!
Based on this, this plantation that still looks barren now will become something else sooner or later!
At this time, Mr. Huo was standing next to the reservoir, looking up at Huo Mingjie with a smile.

In his hand, he was also carrying a plastic bag, which contained washed and water-stained dates.

The old man took out a handful from inside, handed it to Huo Mingjie, and then said:

"Try it. This is the fruit produced by the jujube trees planted here this year. Although the fruit after grafting is very small, it tastes good!"

The old man, who had been blowing sand in the plantation for a year, now looks nothing wrong except that he is a little darker, and he even looks more energetic.

Otherwise, I still need to find something for the older ones to do!
Sand control was something he had been thinking about for most of his life, and he was very energetic about it every day, not to mention that he didn't have to do much work himself.

If this were not the case, the uncle and nephew would not worry about letting the old man mess around!
When Huo Mingjie heard this, he immediately took it with a smile, then stuffed one into his mouth and tasted it.

Well, although it was planted by the old man.

But in good conscience, I can only say that these dates are not unpalatable, but they don’t taste special, and they don’t look plump and round, nor are they attractive...

Huo Mingjie thought about it for a moment and could only say:
"It's okay, pretty good..."

"So from now on we will plant jujube trees in the plantation?" Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said:

"This jujube is actually of average quality and has few knots. The cost is not very cost-effective!"

If you want to rely on large-scale tree planting to control the environment, it must at least be profitable, otherwise not many people will be willing to come here to eat sand!
"My student and I did some research and found that it is worthless to plant jujube trees, and grapes cannot be grown. Now only apricot trees and apples are left..."

Hearing Apple, Huo Mingjie suddenly had an impression.

The old man and his students seemed to want to plant apple trees from the beginning, and they were just trying out several other types of fruit trees.

Moreover, Huo Mingjie still remembered that in his vague memory, there was also the story of planting apple trees to control desertification...

"Where is the apple tree?" Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask.

The old man smiled when he heard this, then pointed to a sparse tree in front of him and said:
"That's over there...but it's not actually an apple tree now, it's a sandin tree!"

"Sandin tree?"

The old man nodded and patiently explained:
"Apple trees need to be grafted, and choosing the right parent can preserve their excellence." "My former student who taught at the Agricultural University suggested that I try it, saying that this kind of tree is more cold and drought-resistant and suitable for our climate. And it's just The trees themselves can also be carved or used for carpentry, so they are still valuable.”

This mountain sweet potato is a plant of the genus Malus in the Rosaceae family, and is related to the apple tree.

It is also easy to propagate, resistant to drought and cold, has early fruiting and high yield, and is especially suitable for grafting apples.

The old man’s student’s advice to the plantation was obviously very thoughtful!
Having said this, the old man paused, then continued to look at Huo Mingjie and said:

"Whether it's an apricot tree or a mango tree, it doesn't take just one or two years to produce fruit. So in recent years, the plantations still need to experiment, and the results won't be so quick."

There is a saying that goes like this, if there are three peaches, three apricots and four plums in five years, the jujube trees will be sold for money that year.

Among so many fruit trees, jujube trees are actually quite special. If taken care of properly, they can bear fruit in the same year.The rest will take several years to bear fruit.

What's more, in such a harsh environment, it will take even longer to find suitable cash crops for the local area!

When the old man said so many words, he was actually explaining to Huo Mingjie, the big boss behind the scenes.

After all, most of the money for the plantation was given by Huo Mingjie.In any case, be sure to inform the plantation in detail.

Upon hearing this, Huo Mingjie jumped down from the steps on the reservoir with light steps, then looked at the old man in front of him and smiled:
"Money is not a big deal, I can give you some more money!"

The old man started this plantation, but so far he has not used 30 yuan.

With this little money, even if Huo Mingjie does nothing, the bank interest for a month will be higher than this...

The old man had always been transparent, so he naturally did not refuse Huo Mingjie's kindness and agreed without any hesitation.

Huo Mingjie stepped forward and held the old man's arm, saying:

"Let's go, go back!"

Hearing that he was going back, the old man nodded, but couldn't help but look around a few times.

"Where's the shade man?"

The three of them came here together just now, but now they don't know where Huo Chengyin has gone.

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"He's over there in the car!"

Huo Chengyin dragged Huo Mingjie this time, and the two of them worked hard all the way and took turns driving back to their hometown.

His original intention was to return home in fine clothes and drive a luxurious car.

But Huo Chengyin forgot about the harsh environment in his hometown!
When the wind blows here, the gravel will basically be blown up.

The thing crackled against the car, easily scratching one mark after another on the car body.

Huo Chengyin bought this luxury car just two months ago, and it had only been two days since he returned to his hometown. It was already covered in scars, which made him feel very distressed.

At this time, if the old man talked about desertification control in his hometown in front of him, I am afraid that Huo Chengyin would definitely agree with both hands and feet.

Not for anything else, just for the convenience of being able to drive a luxury car back to my hometown in the future...
