Super Orchard

Chapter 18
A few days later, after the greenhouse was built, Wei Long returned happily after receiving a transfer of 300 million yuan. Professional technicians will come to be responsible for inspection and maintenance.

The weather is still very hot at this time, and the roof of this double-layer greenhouse cannot be opened like an ordinary greenhouse. There are a large number of movable doors and windows on the surrounding walls. After opening all of them, the ventilation is good, and working inside will not feel stuffy. panic.

The next step is to transplant all the wild grape seedlings into the greenhouse. This land has [-] mu. According to the distance between each ridge of [-] meters and the distance between the plants of [-] meters, [-] wild grapes can be planted.

This season is not suitable for transplanting wild grapes, but Shen Yang has a golden air current, and he is not afraid that the survival rate of wild grapes is too low. After rejecting the suggestion of Wang Chunmei and others, he officially transplanted the wild grapes from the nursery to the greenhouse.

Since the branches of wild grapes are only more than ten centimeters, and the roots are more fragile, care must be taken when transplanting. Shen Guangguang did not participate in this delicate work, but prepared to build a canal.

The small pond formed by this hot spring is right in the middle of the greenhouse, which is one of the reasons why Shen Yangguang built the greenhouse on the southernmost side, leaving a long open space in the east-west direction of the pond, and no wild grapes were planted. The aqueduct channel left by the light in advance.

First, use ropes and iron rods to draw a 200-meter-long and one-meter-wide range that runs through the entire greenhouse, and then carry a shovel and start digging a half-meter-deep ditch.

Liu Dihua, who was guarding the gate, also came to help with a shovel. Shen Yangguang originally arranged for him to stay here at night, and then come around in the morning and afternoon, and he can rest at other times.

Liu Dihua attaches great importance to this job. Except for three meals a day, he stays in the orchard almost all day long. In addition to patrolling around, he will also take the initiative to do what he can. Shen Yangguang did not stop him. Get busy.

It is very easy to dig such a small ditch on the very soft plowed land. In order to ensure the straightness of the ditch and the uniform depth, it took two full days to dig all the 200 meters.

The next step is to lay bricks on the bottom and sides of the ditch, and then paint it with cement to ensure that the water does not sink into the ground.

This work is more complicated. Fortunately, there is no rush. Seeing that it is getting late, Shen Yangguang is going to start work tomorrow. At this time, all the employees have gone home for dinner, and Shen Yangguang secretly transplanted a small piece of wild land. There is a little air flow up the vines, allowing them to survive better.

When he walked out of the gate of the orchard, Liu Dihua had just returned from dinner, followed by his old dog. After sending Shen Yangguang away, Liu Dihua locked the gate of the orchard, lit up the signboard on the gate, and came from the village. After the power is connected, the four characters "Jinquan Orchard" will light up all night every night.

After a tiring day, Shen Yangguang lay on the bed after dinner, playing with his mobile phone while watching TV, but Dumb, who had been playing like crazy all day, didn't feel tired at all, and still ran around the room non-stop to entertain himself.

Suddenly, a call came in from the mobile phone. Looking at Xia Yunxuan's name, Shen Yangguang answered, "Mr. Xia, why did you call me? By the way, the greenhouse your uncle introduced has been built, and the quality is very good. When will I treat you to dinner and thank you."

"I just called when I heard that the greenhouse had been built. Such a large project must have cost a lot of money, right? I was also worried that the manufacturer's poor performance would cause you trouble. I'm relieved to hear that!"

"There is nothing to say if the greenhouse is good, so you don't have to worry about it. By the way, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to treat you to a big meal!"

"Do you really want to invite me to dinner? Well, I'm not being polite anymore. There's nothing delicious in the county town. How about this? I'll come to your house for a casual meal tomorrow at noon, and I'll take a look at your orchard by the way. It’s also convenient if you want to eat fruit in the future!”

Shen Yangguang originally wanted to say that there is nothing delicious at home, and he wanted to go to the county town to treat someone to a meal, but when he heard that he wanted to visit the orchard, he said, "Ok, I'll wait for you at noon tomorrow, and I'll call Call Mouse, he is in the county right now, and will drop by to pick you up tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yangguang made another phone call to Zheng Hao. The other party had been bored these days, so he agreed immediately. It happened that he was a bit greedy for braised pork, so he said he would bring back a few catties of pork and let Shen Yangguang make a meal. Braised pork to eat.

Lying on the bed, Shen Yangguang thought for a while. He only knows some home-cooked dishes. Apart from a dish of braised pork, he didn't know what else to offer. Suddenly he remembered a delicacy fried cicada monkey. Xia Yunxuan, who lived in the city, hadn't eaten. She checked the time on her phone, and it wasn't eight o'clock before she got up and walked outside the house.

Cicada Monkey is the larva of Cicada. There are countless names all over the country. In Shen Yangguang's hometown, it is called Cicada Monkey.

It was the end of summer at this time, and Shen Yangguang also caught some cicada monkeys and fried them a few days ago. Now there are not too many, but there are still some on the trees in the valley.

You don't need to prepare anything, just take a flashlight and a plastic bag, and walk to the orchard with the restless Dumb behind you.

Before he entered the gate of the orchard, Liu Dihua's old dog started to bark, and Ah-Dai, not to be outdone, also barked.

Maybe it was hearing Duan's voice, maybe smelling the smell, or seeing the person clearly in the dark night. After the old dog barked a few times, his voice lowered, as if he was chatting with Dumb again.

A while later, Liu Dihua, who was watching TV in the room, walked to the gate with a flashlight in one hand and a rubber baton Shen Yangguang bought in the county in the other. After seeing who was coming, he opened the gate and asked, "Why is the sun here?" , is there something wrong so late?"

Shen Yangguang held up the plastic bag in his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just want to catch some cicada monkeys in the fruit forest to eat."

Declining Liu Dihua's company, Shen Yangguang took Duan around in the apple grove, and took a flashlight from tree to tree. When he saw a cicada monkey, he took it down and put it in a bag. If some climbed too high, Just use a long branch to gently shake it, and pick it up after falling to the ground.

It was mid-August at this time, and there were not many monkeys left. Fortunately, Ah-Dai also followed Shen Yangguang to catch a few times a while ago, knowing what the owner was looking for, and the dark dog eyes were more useful than a flashlight at night. Every time he found a cicada monkey, he ran under the tree and screamed. Shen Yangguang also knew what Dumb meant, so he walked over and took down the cicada monkeys one by one.

After two full hours, Shen Yangguang managed to catch dozens of cicada monkeys. One must know that a month ago, more than 100 monkeys could be caught in less than an hour.

After returning home, Shen Yangguang put all the cicada monkeys into a small basin, poured some water into it, and put them in the refrigerator. This was done to prevent the cicada monkeys from transforming into cicadas at night, which is the famous "golden cicada shedding its shell" , because once the shell is turned into a cicada, the taste, texture and nutrition will be much worse.

The next day, Shen Yangguang drove the tractor and replaced it with a truck body, preparing to pull some bricks and cement into the shed.

Before the construction team left, Shen Yangguang mentioned to Zeng Guang that he wanted to buy some bricks and cement. Zeng Guang, who had been idle for a long time, accepted the business in a good mood, and brought a whole truckload of bricks and cement to Shen Yangguang for free. Zeng Guang is willing to give these things a few thousand dollars at most, and they are all piled up at the gate of the orchard now.

Liu Dihua also ran over to help, and together loaded the bricks and cement onto the tractor. After filling a whole truckload, Shen Yangguang drove the tractor into the greenhouse and unloaded some bricks every ten meters along the dug ditch. , I have been busy all morning and prepared all the materials.

Looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock, Shen Yangguang went home and prepared to cook, just after taking a shower and changing clothes, Zheng Hao's broken van came to the door, carrying a large piece of fresh meat into the courtyard The door, followed by Xia Yunxuan, brought some seasonal vegetables.

The young people were all old classmates, and they became lively in no time, chatting while cooking, but there was only one induction cooker at home, so it was not convenient to do it at the same time, Zheng Hao was on the sidelines, and Shen Yangguang kept stirring Dishes in the pot.

Xia Yunxuan has been learning how to cook at home during this time, and she wanted to show her skills today, but was rejected by Shen Yangguang and Zheng Hao on the grounds of being a guest, so she sat on the stool, chatting and teasing the enthusiastic dumb.

The first thing is to fry the cicada monkey. This dish is very simple to make. After washing the cicada monkey, put it in a frying pan and fry until cooked. After putting it on a plate, Shen Yangguang put some Salt and sesame seeds for dipping.

Next is braised pork, which is the most time-consuming dish, and then I made scrambled eggs with leeks and dry-stir-fried beans, and a pot of winter melon pork ribs soup was stewed in the rice cooker.
