Super Orchard

Chapter 5 Planting by Cuttings
Although Shen Yangguang has never plowed land, this kind of walking tractor is easy to use. He can operate it based on the impression of watching other people plowing land when he was a child. After a while, he plowed a piece of land that is one meter wide and ten meters long.

Then Shen Yangguang felt that something was wrong, the tractor went slower and slower, and the gears of the plow gradually stopped turning.After stopping the tractor, Shen Yangguang lay down and took a look, and found that the plow was full of weeds, which prevented the gears from moving.

After all, Shen Yangguang was inexperienced. He didn't know that when the weeds were too tall, he couldn't plow the ground directly. He didn't care about being upset at the moment, so he lay down on the ground and pulled the weeds out of the plow one by one.

After working for half an hour, I emptied the plow tools. The sun was setting and I didn’t dare to plow the land directly. I went down the mountain and went home to find a sickle, ready to cut all the weeds.

As for the tractor, let's leave it here for the time being. Anyway, after installing the plow, the speed of this thing is not much faster than walking.

After searching all over the house, he couldn't find a sickle. Shen Yangguang thought that his uncle might have taken it home. He didn't want to see that face, and thought that the sickle was worthless, so he went to Xingwang at the entrance of the village. Buy one at the supermarket.

Walking into the store, I heard a sentence: "The whole army is attacking!"

Zheng Hao clasped his mobile phone and kept clattering. When he saw Shen Yangguang coming in, he said, "Sunshine, are you playing with pesticides? I, Arthur, am a thief, and I'm here to help you score points!"

Shen Yangguang also became interested and asked, "What rank are you?"

"The newly promoted Glory Rank!"

"So powerful? I have 58 stars, how many stars do you have? If the stars are too different, they won't be ranked together."

Zheng Hao was stunned: "How many stars? I am the third stage of glory!"

"There are still three stages of glory?"

Zheng Hao said triumphantly: "You have never scored such a high score, of course you don't know that Glory Gold has three stages!"

Shen Yangguang: "..."

Seeing Zheng Hao playing vigorously, Shen Yangguang said, "Do you have a sickle for sale at home?"

Zheng Hao stared at the phone without turning his eyes, and said without looking back: "The bottom shelf on the far left."

Shen Yangguang randomly picked up a handful, and a woman also came to the small supermarket, took some ice cream and asked, "How much is it, boss?"

Hearing the girl's voice, Zheng Hao raised his head. Seeing the other party's appearance, he immediately threw the phone eight feet away, walked over, rubbed his hands and laughed, "Xiaoxi, you're here, you can eat ice cream as you please, no money, how much do you want?" Is it enough, come on, I'll pack a few more for you!"

Jiang Xiaoxi was Shen Yangguang and Zheng Hao's elementary school classmates. At that time, the three of them had the best time and had a deep relationship, but they went their separate ways after growing up, and they haven't seen each other for many years.

Shen Yangguang walked to the counter with a sickle and said happily, "Jiang Xiaoxi?"

Jiang Xiaoxi looked back and said in surprise, "Brother Sunshine? When did you come back?"

"I just came back a few days ago, how about you? I heard from the mouse that you seldom come back these few years."

"I've only been back for a few days. I've been working out of town before. Now that I'm older, my mother told me to come back and find me a husband's house." Jiang Xiaoxi couldn't help but blush after finishing speaking.

"That's a good thing. Let me know when you get married. You must drink your wedding wine!"

Seeing the heated conversation between the two in front of him, Zheng Hao separated Shen Yangguang and Jiang Xiaoxi who were standing together, and hurriedly said, "What kind of husband's family are you looking for at such a young age? You see, I'm so good that I haven't found a wife yet, Xiaoxi dont you agree?"

Jiang Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, and said to Shen Yangguang, "Why are you holding a sickle?"

After Shen Yangguang finished talking about going to the apple field to mow grass, Jiang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Do you know how to mow grass if you are clumsy?"

Shen Yangguang was a little embarrassed, he had never mowed the grass.

When Jiang Xiaoxi saw Shen Yangguang's expression, he understood it. He went to the bottom of the shelf and picked up a sickle. He pulled Shen Yangguang out of the store and said as he walked, "Mowing grass is also a skill. I will teach you."

Zheng Hao, who stayed in the store, quickly called his father and asked him to take over to take over the store, while he ran out chasing Jiang Xiaoxi's figure with a scythe.

In the apple field, Jiang Xiaoxi grabbed a bunch of weeds with his left hand, held a sickle in his right hand about two fingers away from the ground, aimed at the roots of the weeds, pulled gently, a small piece of weeds was cut off, and put the weeds aside , Mow to the next piece of wild grass.

Shen Yangguang and Zheng Hao imitated each other, and the three chatted while mowing the grass.

Thinking of his own plan, after building a huge orchard here, Shen Yangguang asked: "Mice, I want to expand the planting of various fruits, and I definitely can't do it alone. Why don't you come too, and I'll give you dividends? I dare It is guaranteed that the future fruits will be as delicious as the previous wild grapes."

Zheng Hao kept moving closer to Jiang Xiaoxi, and after hearing Shen Yangguang's words, he said, "Last time you sold wild grapes and you forced me to pay 1 yuan. , and I opened a small supermarket in the county town, although it is not big, I can still earn more than 1 yuan a month, which is enough to spend, so I won’t join in the fun.”

Jiang Xiaoxi straightened up and said, "Brother Sunshine, do you want to expand the apple orchard? It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days when I go home, why don't I help out, no dividends or wages, just give me some fruit when it's ripe."

Zheng Hao was a little impatient, and said: "My supermarket has returned people, Xiaoxi, you can go to work at my place, by the way, there is still a need for a proprietress!"

Jiang Xiaoxi gave Zheng Hao another look, and then looked at Shen Yangguang.

Shen Yangguang saw the interesting bickering between the living treasures, and said with a smile: "We are about the same age, just call me Sunshine. After all, I really plan to expand planting and build a large fruit garden. If you really want to come , must be paid, by the way, do you have anyone else who can introduce you, after all, the orchard needs more manpower after it expands."

"It's not the busy farming season yet, and many people in the village are idle. I suggest you don't rush to recruit people, but first find some people to help. Many people are willing to do it for 80 yuan a day."

Shen Yangguang was a little moved immediately. This method is very good, so that he only needs to spend some money during the busiest time, and does not need to pay wages at ordinary times, which is very cost-effective.

It's just that the [-]-square-meter land does not need to recruit people. When the apples are ripe, they will be looking for people to pick them, and by the way, the entire apple forest will be pruned.

The three of them mowed the grass while chatting. It didn't take long for the land to become bare. Then Shen Yangguang started the tractor again. Before noon, the small land was all sorted out.

After treating Jiang Xiaoxi and Zheng Hao to a hearty meal, the sun was shining outside the house, Shen Yangguang took a nap for a while, and when the sun was not so hot, Shen Yangguang pulled a flatbed cart, took large scissors and buckets up the mountain up.

This time he didn't fool around blindly, but mentioned that he searched the knowledge of grape pruning and cuttings on the Internet, and set out after memorizing them by heart. Although wild grapes and grapes are not the same variety, the same technique can also be applied.

Holding the big scissors, pick out the branches with buds and leaves of uniform thickness, cut them into sections of more than ten centimeters and put them on the flatbed truck.

In the past few days, Shen Yangguang discovered one thing, that is, the recovery speed of the golden air flow in his body is much faster on this hill than in other places. He thought of two possibilities, one is that there are many plants here, and the other is This place is rather special.

However, Shen Yangguang didn't have time to think about what the reason was. Seeing that the sun had turned yellow, he didn't delay immediately and pulled a whole cart of branches to the side of the leveled land.

After several rounds of plowing here, the clods of soil have been completely broken into fine soil. Sunshine inserted the wild grape branches into the soil one by one obliquely, and the distance between each branch was only one finger.

This is what he saw on the Internet. This can save land, is also conducive to management, and promotes the rooting and germination of branches. When they are transplanted to the orchard, the spacing must be increased.

When it was getting dark, all the branches of wild grapes in a cart were inserted into the soil, and Shen Guangguang took the buckets to a pond not far away to fill them with water, and irrigated the branches one by one.

Every evening, when the sunset glow reflects on the water surface of this pond, the whole pond will turn golden, so it is called Jinquan by the villagers, and the name of Jinquan Village is also because of this small pond. The mountain forest is also because of this small pond that can provide water.

In fact, this small pond is not ordinary, but a real hot spring. A few years ago, the village wanted to develop this place and build a hot spring resort to increase income.

When the village head found Zhuan's house to inspect, he found that it was a low-temperature hot spring, only about [-] degrees Celsius, and contained a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, which was not suitable for development.

At that time, the village was a little reconciled, and dug several springs in this valley, and finally found that they were all of this type of hot spring, so they gave up the plan to develop them. These springs have been abandoned there for many years, and no one cares about them.
