Chapter 259 The Vineyard

With the peach blossoms in full bloom, other fruit trees in the village are also in bloom. However, due to different varieties, the opening time varies greatly. The garden here is already full of spring, and some fruit trees have just sprouted buds.

The bees in Liu Junhao's courtyard were completely active, buzzing and flying around the branches every day.Seeing many reed tubes sealed with new mud, he deliberately broke one to taste.

The color of the newly brewed peach blossom honey is very different from that in summer. It is reddish and milky white. It feels really good when you eat it with a rustle in your mouth.But now there are very few sources of honey, and the honey bee brewed is barely enough for his own consumption. Liu Junhao just tasted something new and didn't cut the honey.

Seeing that people in the village started to plant fruit trees one after another, Zhang Qian also moved her mind, thinking that her yard is so big, she should plant some grape trees.

According to her point of view, the more vines planted, the better, so that their family can sell grapes in summer, and if they can't sell them all, they can dry raisins and make wine.

Liu Junhao was sweating when he heard that, his wife thought too comprehensively, this is the same as the joke about making tofu on the Internet, if you can’t sell it, you can still make dried tofu and stinky tofu.

One or two vines are easy to manage, but a vineyard needs to be overturned, and it is estimated that it will be tied there every day.Fertilizing, spraying medicine, sealing soil, pruning and so on a lot of things, he must be very busy.

In short, his consideration is very simple, and everything is aimed at a comfortable life.He knew that it was not good to live too comfortably, but it was a pity that he knew himself very well, and he had a decent life, so he didn't have much motivation.The only thing to worry about is probably repaying the mortgage.

He didn't go shopping much on the street, and bought four vines directly from the place where the saplings were sold.There are two in his house, and the rest will be sent to Professor Zhao.Just now, when Teacher Wang heard that he was going to buy grape vines, he specifically told him to bring them.

Hmm... There are also persimmon trees that sell two-year-old seedlings.According to others, this persimmon tree can bear fruit in that year.

Buying a few persimmon trees is also a good idea. The half-bamboo basket of persimmons that Liu Wuye sent last year was full of praise for the couple. Zhang Qian is still thinking about going to the street to buy some pickled persimmon ash this year.

"What kind of sapling is this?" Liu Junhao asked when he saw that there were some strange silver-white saplings next to him.

The "Walnut Tree" seller has a simple answer.

"Walnut trees, different varieties?" He was a little puzzled. The walnut trees on the mountain usually have black-gray trunks, and the color is not as bright as this.

"It's the usual walnut sapling in our mountain. This thing is different from other saplings. The bark turns white when it is not exploded, and the leaves are covered with hoarfrost. It will be fine when it grows."

Last year my wife led a group of students up the mountain to hunt walnuts, but they found nothing. She was quite depressed when they went down the mountain.This year, I should also plant two plants at home, so that I can eat them without going out.

"Then...give me four...no, six, and add two vines and two persimmon trees." At this time, he suddenly remembered Shisuo, and he wanted to plant some fruit trees on the sandy soil.

When the Qiuli fruit is ripe, the ones in Shisuoli can eat it at home, and the other ones should be very good.

Liu Junhao thought about having peach trees, plum trees, persimmon trees, and walnut trees. If he bought a few pear tree seedlings, his family would have a complete collection of fruit trees.

Unexpectedly, when I asked, they didn't pull pear saplings today.But the seller saw that he was a big seller and wanted to get acquainted, so if he really wanted it, he could send it to the next episode.

Liu Junhao nodded in agreement when he thought about it, and asked him to deliver the pear saplings directly to Lao Guo's beef soup stall, so that he could come and pick them up when he had time.

There were [-] or [-] saplings, although they were not too long, but the mounds of soil on the roots were quite heavy. Liu Junhao piled up the front and back of the electric car before reluctantly putting it down.

After leaving the market, I saw that there was no one around, and closed it with a stone lock, and went home easily along the way.

When he approached the entrance of the village, he released the saplings again. Of course, he took two of them and put them in the stone locks. He planned to plant them again when he had time. He and Professor Zhao shared the remaining saplings equally.

He didn't think too much about it when he bought it, but now that he's in the yard, Liu Junhao is worried about planting fruit trees again.The space in his front yard is not small, but the east side is occupied by chicken coops, duck houses, stables, rabbit cages and so on.Against the wall in the south are stacks of reeds, plus a flower pond, plus the few big poplar and neem trees, which are also crowded.

As for the west side is the fire head pool, beside it is a large pile of hard wood, and near the courtyard wall is a dung pile.

The space in front of the door is not small, but the fruit trees planted there must be in the way.The only free places are on both sides of the gate and the backyard.

After thinking about it, he simply planted all the fruit trees on both sides of the gate.

In this way, when the vines grow up, it feels good to directly build a pergola on top of it.

Of course, Liu Junhao deliberately left the road wide when planting for driving.So if you don't buy a car now, it doesn't mean you won't have one in the future.

Zhang Qian came back from school at noon, and after seeing the neatly planted fruit trees in the courtyard, she admired Liu Junhao for a while.Then she continued her efforts and ran back to the house to surf the Internet, saying that she wanted to buy some flowers to grow in the yard.

Of course, Liu Junhao supported his wife's idea, and the two of them didn't have a meal, so they searched directly online.

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but when he searched here, he was a little dizzy. Tomatoes, sunflowers, even dandelions and other common things are sold online.

This is also called flowers?Seeing the photo taken by others, Liu Junhao grinned.It should be called vegetables and weeds, okay?And the pictures, no matter how you look at them, look like PS, it’s better to choose from your own!

But Zhang Qian disagreed with his point of view, saying that these are all pocket-sized.When they were in school, there were people in their dormitory, which was very beautiful.

After choosing for a long time, she finally settled on mini sunflower seeds.Liu Junhao turned his head to look at the price: 100 yuan for 10 grams.He hurriedly dismissed his wife's idea, the money is not much, the key is that at the same price, he can buy a catty of ripe melon seeds.What's more, seeing the flower plate is so small, it is estimated that there will be no way to eat it at that time. It is better to find some sunflower seeds in the village.It can not only beautify the environment, but also fry and eat in autumn.

Zhang Qian didn't have a strong desire to buy at first, so she nodded when she heard what he said.However, in order to collect more reference opinions, she deliberately posted a help post on the [-]th floor forum, hoping to see what everyone thought about planting flowers.

In the afternoon, Liu Junhao planted all the saplings in the stone lock while his wife was going to school.I haven't seen it for a few days, but the inside has changed a lot. The wild chrysanthemum seedlings have all survived, and they have grown to a height of about ten centimeters.Dandelions also bloomed immature yellow flowers early, scattered scattered among the greenery, like stars in the blue sky.

These dandelions can be regarded as the second generation of Shisuo. Last spring, Liu Junhao picked a lot of them when he had nothing to do.After the seeds are mature, they all fall on the ground, moistened by spring water, and the germination rate of the seeds is [-]%, so they look particularly conspicuous, and almost every place is a large area.

Fry a dandelion at night to try it out. I remember that the dumplings made with this stuffing last year were delicious.

Produced by Shisuo, it is indeed extraordinary.The dug-up dandelions are all oily and tender. When you pinch them with your nails, they make a noise, and you can't see the veins at all.

"Quack...quack..." I was looking at it, and suddenly there were a few frogs croaking in my ears.

This thing woke up from hibernation?Liu Junhao turned his head and looked, several big green frogs fell into the pond quickly, and then floated on the water.

He didn't catch these frogs deliberately, but he missed them when he was catching tadpoles to feed the eels.After growing into frogs, there are no natural enemies inside. These guys live quite freely, and the population tends to increase. When he was free last summer, he counted more than 20 of them.

At first he thought of catching them, but then saw a frog catching worms in a melon patch and gave up the idea.While introducing plants by myself, I also inadvertently introduced some insect eggs into it. The climate in Shisuo is suitable, and these insects grow very fast.There are frogs in there, just enough to catch them clean.

Liu Junhao dug up half a bamboo basket of dandelions out of his temper, and sent a lot to Professor Zhao's home.

"You bought this dandelion on the street, right? We also sell it here?" Professor Zhao just took a look, and immediately noticed the difference.There is no trace of insect bites or pecks on this dish, and the size is also pleasing, very similar to the ones sold in supermarkets.It's just the taste... He's eaten it before, and it's not the same taste as wild ones at all.

"Let me tell you, this dandelion looks good, but it's all grown with pesticides and fertilizers. Why don't we go to the river beach to dig it." He explained patiently and carefully.

What kind of eyes does this old man... dare to say that the things in the stone lock are not good.Sometimes it's a sin to have something too good, people don't think it's wild.

"Look carefully, I dug this from the mountain with great effort. It is absolutely pure natural green food without adding any chemicals."

"Really?" Professor Zhao pinched a leaf suspiciously and chewed it in his mouth, then nodded.

Feelings can also be tasted... Liu Junhao was a little dizzy.Before he woke up, someone said again: "Where did you dig it, I will go with you when I have time."

"Don't..." As soon as the words came out, he secretly complained.This is the way to get the old man up the mountain, where to find the dandelion that doesn't exist.Turning around in my mind, the words came out of my mouth: "I found it at the place where Wukong picked the fungus last time. The place is so weird that it takes nearly two hours to walk. There are many bushes on the mountain. I may not be able to find it this time. .”

"That's even better. I'm just going to see the Chinese wolfberry tree. How many fungus did you pick this time? After a few spring rains, there should be a lot of wild fungus." When he said this, the old man became even more enthusiastic .

He also heard about the miracle created by Wukong years ago, but he regretted not being there.

Now, Liu Junhao didn't know what to say.Such is the case with lies, when the first one is uttered, it is soon necessary to round it up with the second. "I didn't pick them. I think those fungus are too small, so I want to stay on the tree and continue to grow. I will go there when I have time."

"Well, call me when you go, and I'll follow to have a look."

"Alright," Liu Junhao nodded in agreement, muttering in his heart: I really can't get some dandelions from the stone lock and plant them on the hillside as soon as possible, so that I should be able to fool them.

In the evening, he made all the remaining dandelions cold and cooked. These procedures were done last year, so it was very easy to make.After putting the onion, ginger, and garlic and stirring evenly, Liu Junhao poured a lot of sesame oil into it.

"What did you cook tonight? It smells so good?" My wife just came into the yard and started yelling just after school.

"You have a sharp nose, guess what?" He made a fool of himself.

"It must be cold." After cooking for such a long time, Zhang Qian can also figure out the basic routine.

Dinner at night, both of them ate deliciously, and in the end, half of the dandelions were wiped out.

At the end, Zhang Qian said in a tone that was still unsatisfactory: "There are too few dishes tonight, and I am only [-]% full. Tomorrow, if you have nothing to do, dig more dandelions!"

Khan, my wife really feels it!In fact, this is the case with wild vegetables. If you eat them fresh, you will be bored if you eat them too much.

"Why does it taste better than last year's, don't you think?" Zhang Qian said suddenly when she was packing the dishes.

"Well, a little bit, I picked it in the mountains." Liu Junhao could only continue to lie.

"Really, are there many mountains?"

Looking at his wife's earnest eyes, he had a bad feeling in his heart: "Not much, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to lead the students to dig wild vegetables in the mountains on Sunday. The dandelion tastes so good that the guests who come to visit will definitely buy it..." Zhang Qian became more and more excited as she spoke.She is now focused on generating income for students, and as long as there is a "project", she will immediately demonstrate it.

"How can there be so many dandelions? It's not like finding the shells of cicadas. You need to run all over the mountains. Besides, I only picked the dandelions because they were good. The others are not so tender." Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped her.Just kidding, a Professor Zhao has made himself hard to deal with, and with his wife, it is impossible to get all the dandelions out of the stone lock.

However, Zhang Qian's suggestion is worth considering, and dandelion is also a pure natural green food.Plant some in the backyard in the spring of next year, and there should be no worries about sales.

The two of them were just about to go to bed at night, but Zhang Qian remembered the help post sent in the morning, and pulled him up to check again.

Looking at the reply below, the two of them got even more headaches.How should I put it, those suggestions sound very reliable, but there are too many types listed, and few of them are the same. In the end, they don't know who to listen to.

Of course, many old friends also commented on the post, and their replies were more targeted, all centered on his small garden, and some even proposed to send them flowers in a few days.

For these replies, they can only thank them one by one.As for what to plant... It has become a big problem now, and we need to continue to discuss it.

I thought that in a few days, Professor Zhao would forget all about the dandelion, but he didn't know that he would come to the door with his sneakers after breakfast the next day.

Liu Junhao couldn't refuse, so he could only lead Wukong up the mountain.The water rails in the yard were a problem, and Professor Zhao watched from the side, so naturally he couldn't put them in the stone lock, and in the end he had to follow his wife's example and block the water channel with bricks.
