Super Orchard

Chapter 212 Lychee
In May, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the weather is pleasant. It is the traditional spring plowing season in Jinquan Village.

The same is true for Jinquan Orchard. After the construction of the latest giant greenhouse was completed, new fruit trees have also begun to be planted.

This time, Shen Yangguang plans to plant lychees. Now there are rambutans in the orchard that are similar in appearance and taste. How can there be no lychees?

Unlike rambutan, a fruit native to the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia, lychee is an authentic domestic fruit, which was recorded in history books during the Han Dynasty.

However, the most famous verse about lychee is "A ride on the red dust, concubine laughs, no one knows it's lychees." ".

Litchi tastes delicious, but it is not resistant to storage. It can also be seen from this poem that in ancient times, it needed to be transported by horses around the clock, but now with refrigerated trucks, this is not a problem.

Even so, lychees native to the south rarely appear on the market in the Northeast Province. There is no other reason, but the distance is too far. Even if they are transported without deterioration, they will not be too fresh, and the price will be higher Not a lot.

But Shen Yangguang doesn't have to worry so much, because his orchard is here in the Northeast Province, and it only takes half a day to transport it to various fruit shops, which can completely guarantee the freshness of the lychees.

There are many records about the intolerance of lychee storage in China, such as the earliest literature on lychee, in the article "Shanglin Fu" written by Sima Xiangru in the Western Han Dynasty, "Litchi" was written as "Lizhi", and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Lizhi" Branch" began to write "lychee".

At that time, the ancients had realized that this kind of fruit could not be separated from the branches and leaves, otherwise it would be easy to deteriorate, but if the fruit was cut off together with the branches and leaves, the freshness period would be greatly prolonged. After the storage method, the traditional fresh-keeping method will still be used.

In China, lychee is a very famous fruit. Together with banana, pineapple and longan, it is called "four major fruits in the southern country". And it can stop hiccups and diarrhea. It is a good food therapy product for intractable hiccups and diarrhea at dawn. It also has the effects of nourishing the brain and fitness, stimulating the appetite and spleen, and promoting appetite. However, eating too much is easy to get angry.

In addition to the fruit of lychee, the trunk of lychee is also extremely useful. It usually grows more than ten meters high. The wood is solid, the texture is elegant, and it is also corrosion-resistant.

As a rare fruit native to China, today's litchi has spread to all parts of the world and is planted in many countries, but the best varieties are still domestically produced.

In China, there are countless varieties of litchi, the main ones are March Red, Garden Branch, Black Leaf, Huai Zhi, Guiwei, Nuomi Ci, Yuanhong, Lanzhu, Chen Zi, Hanging Green, Crystal Ball, Feizixiao, Baitangying, etc. Dozens of them.

Among them, Guiwei and Nuomi Ci are the best varieties, and Gualv is a rare and hard-to-find variety. In the past few years, Gualv lychees from a certain place in China once sold for a sky-high price of more than 50 yuan each, breaking the record. Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive fruit in the world.

Therefore, Luogang Guiwei, Bicun Nuomici, and Zengcheng Gualv are known as the "Three Masters of Litchi".

These varieties of lychees have been cultivated for many years before they can produce delicious and expensive fruits. Shen Yangguang has a golden spring in his body, and he knows that even if he grows common varieties of lychees, the taste will definitely be better than the so-called "three masters of lychees". Better, and the therapeutic effect will be more prominent.

Therefore, Shen Yangguang didn't pursue any expensive lychee varieties, but called Zhao Chunqiu directly to ask about lychee seedlings.

Zhao Chunqiu was already accustomed to Shen Yangguang's inquiries, and said, "Lychee is a domestically produced fruit. As the only fruit research institute directly under the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in China, of course we have researched and cultivated this kind of fruit."

Shen Yangguang immediately asked: "What kind of varieties do you have? I plan to buy some and cultivate them."

Zhao Chunqiu counted his fingers and said: "There are many of these, there is Star No. [-], Big Red Series [-], Jingguo..."

After uttering a long list of names, Shen Yangguang felt dizzy and asked, "What are the characteristics of these fruit trees? I'm going to buy a plant."

"The characteristics of each variety are different. Some taste very good, not much worse than the three outstanding lychees, some focus on resistance to diseases and insect pests, some are resistant to cold, some are high-yield, and there are dwarf saplings. We all have research in the direction.”

After hearing this, Shen Yangguang began to think about it. The taste must be better than his own golden aura, which seemed a bit tasteless.

Resistance to diseases and insect pests is even more useless, because the fruit trees in Jinquan Orchard have never had any diseases since they had golden air currents.

As for cold resistance, Jinquan Orchard has a high-tech greenhouse, which is optional. There are also dwarf saplings. Although it will save the cost of the greenhouse and it will be much easier to pick, the output will be much less, and Jinquan A 20-meter-high giant greenhouse has been built in the orchard, so there is no need to consider the height of the fruit trees.

After thinking about it, Shen Yangguang decided to buy a high-yielding lychee variety. Of course, Zhao Chunqiu had no objection to this. Over the years, he also learned more or less about the situation in Jinquan Orchard, and he also knew that high-yielding fruit trees were the most suitable choice for Jinquan Orchard.

Because the lychee fruit trees are tall, although they are not as tall as durian and jackfruit, the canopy of the fruit trees is very wide, so the planting density will not be too dense. Considering the actual situation of Jinquan Orchard, Zhao Chunqiu gave 40 per mu of land to plant. The suggestion of multiple trees is consistent with the planting density of durian and other fruit trees, and 120 lychees can be planted in the entire [-]-acre greenhouse.

Although this kind of fruit tree is a newly cultivated variety, the price is not expensive, only 5 yuan a tree. Shen Guangguang bought enough saplings for only [-] yuan.

The next step is to transport these fruit saplings to the orchard. Since the only large truck in Jinquan Orchard has been disposed of, there are only [-] refrigerated trucks left. Refrigerated trucks are obviously not suitable, so Shen Yangguang spent a lot of money to find a logistics company for transportation.

At the same time, the orchard began to dig planting holes in the new greenhouses for planting.

Since the root system of lychee seedlings is relatively fragile and easy to break, everyone was very careful during the planting process. Even when backfilling the soil, they did not dare to smash the soil with a shovel, but filled it back with a shovel. , Press gently with your hands for fear of damaging the root system of the fruit tree.

In addition, because the root system of lychees is not well developed, and the backfilled soil did not dare to press too hard, Shen Guangguang took the staff to fix the lychee trees on the brackets made of wooden sticks next to each lychee tree. Prevent fruit trees from falling.

This situation will last for one year. During this year, the lychees are in the slow seedling stage. The fruit trees grow very slowly and need to re-adapt to the new environment. Under normal circumstances, lychees must be planted for two years before entering the vigorous growth period. The sun is shining and the golden air is present. I believe that by next year, these lychee trees will have more vitality than ordinary fruit trees.
