Chapter 18 Planting Fruit Trees

"Who are you looking for?" Qiao Zhiyuan looked at the stranger in front of him.

Zhou Zhou was a little puzzled at first when he saw a handsome man sitting in a wheelchair.

"I'm Zhou Zhou from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and I'm here to see Qiao Manman." Zhou Zhou directly solved Qiao Zhiyuan's doubts.

"You're here to see my sister. Sit inside." He showed a heart-warming smile.

Zhou Zhou tried to help Qiao Zhiyuan push the wheelchair, but Qiao Zhiyuan refused.

Zhou Zhou froze on the spot, somewhat helpless.

At this time, Qiao Manman, who had cleaned Zhou Zhou's room, also came out and saw a strange atmosphere between Zhou Zhou and Qiao Zhiyuan for some reason.

"Zhou Zhou, I have tidied up the room for you. You can go in and take a look."

"Okay, I'm here." Zhou Zhou also left at this time.

"Brother, what happened between you and Zhou Zhou?"

"It's nothing, kids, don't make random guesses." After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair back to his room.

After getting up from a nap in the afternoon, Zhou Zhou was taken by Qiao Manman to her Little Flower Mountain. A professional just happened to come, and Qiao Manman had to make good use of it.

After the two arrived at Xiaohuashan, Qiao Manman told Zhou Zhou his plan for Xiaohuashan. Some vegetables are planted at the foot of the mountain, and some fruit trees are planted on the mountainside. He even told Zhou Zhou where to plant the fruit trees.

Everywhere Zhou Zhou went, he squatted down and looked at the soil. After they were all done, they grabbed a handful of soil in front of them and observed it carefully, "The soil on your mountain is pretty good for citrus. But I see that you have too many types of fruit trees here."

Some fruit trees may not be able to adapt to such soil. Let me make a more reasonable plan for you. "

Hearing that the professional said that he would give her a plan, Qiao Manman jumped up happily, "Zhou Zhou, you are so good!" Although Qiao Manman has a growth formation, it will not work if the planting is unreasonable.

She was very grateful to Zhou Zhou for helping her with the planning of Xiaohuashan.

Then he took Zhou Zhou to the top of Xiaohua Mountain. The top of the mountain overlooks the entire Arbor Bay.

"My hill is planted with vegetables at the foot of the hill, and fruit trees are planted here, and mulberries are planted here. Mainly because I want to eat mulberries."

"Your plan sounds good. But I still have to go back and study it."

"Okay, listen to Master Zhou Zhou!"

The next day Zhou Zhou completed the plan for Xiaohuashan. Which fruit trees are planted on which land, and the distances between trees are marked.

Looking at the detailed plan in front of him, Qiao Manman firmly decided to let Zhou Zhou eat the fruits first when they ripened.

After Qiao Manman said that he was going to plant trees in Xiaohuashan, Grandpa Qiao called some free villagers to help plant fruit trees. Some rewards will also be given accordingly.

People who have time are willing to help Qiao Manman plant trees in order to make some money.

At this time, seven or eight people had already arrived, some wearing their own straw hats and carrying hoes. Some of them brought some cement buckets. There is a small pool on the mountain that Boss Wu built before. But after he transferred it, some of the tools were gone.

Carry a bucket so you can water your fruit trees easily.

Everyone arrived one after another, and first went to unpack the bags tied with tree roots.

An uncle cleverly used a lighter to burn the straps.

Qiao Manman was not idle when he saw this situation. Everyone in Qiao's family came over except Qiao Zhiyuan.

Although the Qiao family is also a little busy, everyone is here to help and it is impossible for the main family to do other things. Some people dug holes with shovels, while others moved fruit trees. The scene was a lively one.

Arbor Bay rarely has such an opportunity. In addition to mulberry trees, there are rarely so many fruit trees planted there.

If you do, plant one or two fruit trees in your own vegetable garden.

An uncle watched this scene and asked Dad Qiao insinuatingly, "Did Manman make money outside? After he came back, he contracted land and Xiaohuashan."

Qiao Jian smiled honestly, "She's just a part-time worker, so she doesn't make any money. All her money was invested by a friend. She has to share the money she makes."

After saying this, my uncle nodded thoughtfully, too, it's not that easy to make money outside. And why would you go back to the village to farm after making money?

In one day, all the saplings Qiao Manman bought were planted.

Looking at the small flower mountain in front of him, which was already full of fruit trees, Qiao Manman was quite proud.

Soon you will be able to eat your own fruit.

Zhou Zhou participated in the entire Xiaohuashan planting plan and was also responsible for the overall planning.

The next day, Zhou Zhou and Qiao Manman stayed on the mountain for a while to check the status of fruit tree planting. After checking that there were no problems, Zhou Zhou came to the planting land of big-leaf mulberry. Looking at the lush big-leaf mulberry in front of him, Zhou Zhou was also surprised.

The survival rate of big-leaf mulberry here is very high, while the survival rate of general grafted seedlings is relatively low.

The big-leaf mulberry has basically grown side buds and four or five leaves. At this time, Zhou Zhou also squatted down and carefully observed the roots of the big-leaf mulberry. He found that the root system was well developed and the lateral buds were also very strong.

It is expected that the leaves will be harvested next year.

"Manman, your big leaf mulberry is growing very well."

"Next year we will probably be able to use these leaves to feed silkworm babies."

Qiao Manman was very excited, but at the same time he thought of a problem. The current silkworm babies have very weak resistance and cannot stand cold or heat.

She must find a way to cultivate high-quality silkworm babies before officially raising silkworms next year.

But she felt that the top priority was to build a silk quilt factory first, otherwise no matter how good her silkworm cocoons were, they would not be able to escape the fate of being priced at 30 yuan per pound.

If there is a silk quilt factory, all the silkworm cocoons near the county can enter the factory for processing, and they will not lower the price.

Thinking of this, Qiao Manman felt that the money in his pocket was going to be empty again. However, you can introduce one or two production lines at the beginning, and then purchase them later when you have sufficient funds.

Qiao Manman searched his address book to see if he had any contact with anyone in this field.

When I read Zhou Chengli, I felt that he was the person most likely to have come into contact with this aspect. Just made a phone call. The ringing didn't take long before the other side picked up.

"Hey, Manman? What's the matter?" During this time, the two of them became familiar with each other because of the vegetables at home.

"Brother Zhou, I want to ask if you know anyone on the machine production line of the silk quilt factory? I want to buy a few machines here."

"Well...I really can't remember anyone around me who has been in contact with this thing. Let me ask you. I'll get back to you when I have news."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhou. I'll send you some vegetables tomorrow." Thinking that the Zhou family's vegetables would probably be finished again, I hurriedly replenished them for him.

Just in the evening, Qiao Manman received news that a professor in the school had gone to Jiang Province for inspection and was in contact with the machinery factory there.

That machinery factory produces some machines for making silk quilts, but they are usually sold locally. If you are out of town, Qiao Manman will have to go there to find out what kind of machines are needed.
