Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 71 Don’t accuse me wrongly! !

Benefiting from the subtle corrections of rebirth, Li Muyang's energy is much better than that of ordinary people.

He planted two cherry trees in the soil in one breath, and he didn't feel tired. On the contrary, he was even more energetic.

Grapes and apple trees were also planted one after another.

In the end, only bananas and pears were left.

Banana pear is a very delicious pear that turns golden yellow when ripe and looks a bit like a wine gourd.

Li Muyang had eaten dozens of kinds of pears in his previous life, but none of them tasted as good as banana pears.

Other pears are either not sweet enough, don’t have enough water, or have too thick skin. In short, they all have their own problems.

For example, the Dangshan pear that people often eat has its advantages of being large and full of water, but its disadvantages are also obvious.

Dangshan pears are very easy to get sick. If no pesticides are applied when they bloom, the pears will look like they have knots inside, and they will all be hard little knots that are impossible to eat.

Another example is the apple pear that people often eat. This is a kind of pear grafted on an apple tree. It is shaped like an apple. It tastes sweet and sour, and tastes pretty good.

But the skin of this kind of pear is very thick. If you want to eat it, you have to peel it. Moreover, the flesh of the pear is not delicate and tastes scummy. It is not like a banana pear that melts in your mouth when you put it in your mouth.

The fragrant pears are too small and the pear core is too big.

The pear is too sour.

Jade dew fragrant and stiff teeth...

Etc., etc.

Banana pears perfectly avoid all the shortcomings. They are rare pears that have good color, fragrance, and are easy to care for and pick.

Every autumn, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, bananas and pears are in season, and the green fruits begin to hang on the trees.

But at this time, the banana pear is still hard and cannot be bitten.

You must wait until the pears change from dark green to light green, and finally to golden and light yellow before you can eat them.

Of course, people generally don't do this process on trees.

Instead, pick the pears, put them in the granary, and bury them.

After about half a month, the pears will become soft, and when you take them out to eat, they will be fully ripe.

Take a bite, it's crispy and fragrant, and it melts in your mouth.

In my previous life, there was a banana and pear tree in Dikeng Yard. It was not very big and could bear one to two hundred pears every year.

When it is almost ripe, the mother will pick the pears and hide them.

But the children were all watching eagerly, so how could the mother hide it?

No matter where she hid, when she was ready to eat, she found that the pears had been eaten up by the children again and again, leaving them empty.

Therefore, banana pear is not only a kind of fruit, but also carries many childhood memories for Li Muyang.

But strictly speaking, the banana pears of this era are related to the banana pears commonly eaten by people in later generations, but they are not exactly the same.

There is nothing wrong with the fruit of banana pear, and it tastes top-notch sweet, but the tree itself has a flaw, that is, its fruit bearing rate is very low.

Ordinary pears bear fruit so densely that they almost break their branches, but banana pears bear fruit very sparsely, and they usually bear fruit alone, and the excess fruit will fall off on their own.

Therefore, the yield of banana pears has not been high.

It's okay if you eat it by yourself, but as an economical fruit category, it is not cost-effective.

For this reason, people have carried out a series of grafting and cultivation to develop new tree species from generation to generation.

After several generations of cultivation, the yield of banana pears has been greatly improved.

But the taste and shape of pears also changed significantly.

The original sweetness has weakened a lot, and has even become a bit like a pear.

The shape has also changed.

In the early days, the banana pear basically looked like a wine gourd, with obvious boundaries. But in the later period, the top section of the "wine gourd" became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.Very beautiful shape, turned into a Japanese melon.

When Li Muyang was staying at her daughter's house, she also bought bananas and pears in the supermarket. After only one bite, she didn't want to continue eating.

The previous taste is completely gone.

As an old gardener who has been breeding tree species in nurseries for decades, he understands many fruit cultivation directions, but does not like them.

He understands because he knows that the higher the fruit yield, the lower the price, so that everyone can eat the fruit.

The reason I don’t like it is that when each fruit is selected to improve its yield and appearance, at the expense of the original taste of the fruit, the fruit after selection is still the original fruit.

When the market is full of such improved fruits, but when people eat them, they feel that the taste is very bland and they can only drink water, is it cost-effective or not?

At the moment, the banana and pear seedlings he bought have not been "poisoned" by future generations, and he doesn't think about making money. It is a good choice to keep them for himself when he grows up.

Growing pear trees just got a lot easier.

Even though it tastes delicious, don't pay special attention to anything when planting it. The pear tree must be able to withstand dryness and the amount of watering must be controlled.

Li Muyang dug two pits, smoothed the root system of the pear trees, sprinkled some plant ash in the pits, poured a little less water, and planted the pear trees in them.

If nothing else happens, it will come back to life in three to five days and take root in its new environment.

As time passed slowly, a cool breeze blew, and Li Muyang realized that the sun had completely turned to the west, the warmth in the air gradually disappeared, and his body began to feel cold when the wind blew.

And he just happened to plant the last vine.

I originally thought about making a trellis for the grapevine, but seeing that the grapevine was just a seedling, I didn't worry.

Let’s wait until it’s longer.

After a busy afternoon, Li Muyang felt a little tired after the last shovel was used to level the soil.

He casually grabbed a brick and put it under his buttocks. He sat under the eaves and looked at his achievements throughout the afternoon, feeling very satisfied.

The growth cycles of these trees are different. If the grapevine grows well, it is possible to eat delicious grapes next year, and other trees will also bear fruit within three to five years.

He will continue to plant more fruit trees in the future, and when his yard is built, he will build it into a paradise filled with flowers and fruits.

Thinking about it, I feel very happy.

People who were born in the mountains still live freely in the mountains.

On the trail, Li Xiangqin came back.

It seems that he is not in a very beautiful mood. From a distance, he can see his mouth pouting, and a bucket can be hung on his mouth.

She walked back dejectedly, swinging her arms, and sat down on the shovel next to Li Muyang.

"Ugh."

He let out a heavy sigh.

Li Muyang deliberately remained silent.

"Ugh!"

Li Xiangqin's sigh was a little heavier.

Li Muyang still remained silent.

Li Xiangqin couldn't help it anymore and turned to stare at Li Muyang, "Are you ignoring me, brother?"

"Ah? What's the matter? I've always been nice to you. Don't accuse me wrongly. I'm your dear brother!"

Li Muyang smiled and refused.

He actually knew what Li Xiangqin was worried about. He must have been told by his second brother at his house.

She didn't dare to argue with her second brother, but she would bring her depression back here.
