Song Tan Jishi

There was a steady autumn rain at night, and the air was extremely cool in the morning. The mountains in the distance were covered with a layer of fine fog, and the sun had not yet appeared.

This morning, everyone was working in the mountains, laughing loudly, and they were obviously very satisfied with the weather.

Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin came back late last night. They went to the apple farm to work for several days, pruning and digging. They were busy day and night.

There is nothing they can do about it. The autumn farming season is precious. If the apple tree is planted one day early, they will be free to do other things.

  If nothing else, the watermelon jam and soy beans that are so criticized in the live broadcast room are still not available for sale!

There are also radish tassels. Even though they have been thinned out once, they are growing densely. Maybe they will have to be thinned out again.

Or maybe they have to harvest the radish leaves when they grow up and specially rub the radish leaves!

The most important thing is that we have planted a lot of green vegetables on the mountain, and it looks like they will be harvested in another week...

Time is tight and the task is heavy. The two brothers dare not delay at all!

Especially the food from outside...

I can’t say it’s unpalatable, but it’s just not delicious. You’d feel guilty if you take more than one bite!

Therefore, two kilograms of tea were delivered, and the two of them contacted some local acquaintances early, plus Professor Song's previous instructions... In just three days, they had transported back all 600 apple trees in full fruit period.

Song Tan grinned when he paid for the shipping fee alone.

 Because of this, Professor Song was still uneasy and pulled Song Tan to explain again and again.

 In fact, today's fruit trees have been cultivated and cross-bred in many ways, and they all grow very short.

Those tall pomegranates, jujubes and pears that grew three to five meters tall were common in the past. But nowadays, in any orchard, no matter what kind of fruit trees, the basic height is the same as that of a person, which is convenient for harvesting and daily management.

The family dug up so many apple trees for free without any concern. The demolition was partly due to the demolition, but also partly because it was not up to date.

The fruit trees have been planted for several years, and now whether it is daily management or harvesting, they have to climb up and down, which is labor-intensive and expensive, so the decision was made so quickly.

Professor Song can tell you that the good water and soil here in Songtan, combined with the hard-selected tall tree apples, are moistened by water and soil in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the fruits will probably be more distinctive when they come to fruition.

Of course, he didn’t really understand that Song Tan could grow anything he planted, but he just wanted to do something good as much as possible.

Furthermore, looking at the way Song Tan spends money, he will definitely have more than just these 300 acres of barren mountain land in the future, and he will not be limited to getting rich for his own family, but will intend to help the whole village.

In this case, although the apple trees he chose are taller and difficult to pick the fruits, the branches can be cut and cut at will.

Such a good fruit, even if the villagers don’t have the intention to plant it on a large scale and sell it, just take a cutting and plant it at the door, which will add a different flavor to the green countryside.

His thinking is detailed and long-term, and he can be said to have taken everything into consideration.

 But Song Tan didn't care about this.

Professor Song is too modest. Although he explained the advantages and disadvantages from the beginning, he did not omit all the disadvantages, but only mentioned the most important advantages.

But in her opinion, if 600 apple trees want to bear fruit that year, it will cost a lot just to buy mature seedlings.

But now, Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin arranged for people to prune the branches of those tall trees one by one, and brought them directly wrapped in mud balls...

 The shipping cost is a bit too much. Is it possible that saplings are more expensive? Moreover, they are all big trees in their peak fruiting period, and they are sure to be fruitful next year.

You should know that the bigger the tree, the more developed the root system is, and the wider the area where the branches and leaves are spread, the more they can compete for spiritual energy.

Plant these apple trees this autumn, and next year, they might be the most expensive ones in the garden.

 In comparison, what are those shipping charges? It's more like a business without capital.     Otherwise, she wouldn't have dug two kilograms out of the cracks in Boss Chang's order and given them to others individually.

Now Sun Ziqiang has been asked to dig out the tree pit on the mountain, and people from the village have been invited to help plant trees. They were busy for a while, and the sound of everyone chatting and laughing was so far away that even other villages could hear some of it. .

This is hard work, requiring someone to carry the tree, someone to repair the irregular holes, and finally someone to fill in the soil. The work is not difficult, but it requires effort.

However, the radish seedlings picked two days ago have already won the goodwill of the villagers. At this moment, everyone is carrying hoes and shovels, and their spirits are not weak at all.

Walking to the only piece of land in the mountains that has not yet been opened up, everyone commented:

“This Wangjia kudzu root is growing well this year. Could it be that this is a good harvest year?”

“I think so, otherwise the old Song family’s tea leaves wouldn’t be able to be harvested until now!”

 This has just ended!

 Everyone was walking down the mountain road, chatting:

“Look at the lush green leaves of the kudzu root. The Zhang Wang family probably put a lot of fertilizer into it.”

“Let me tell you, the experts they hired have their own tricks. What do you think does not grow well in the old Song family’s land?”

"That's true. I guess I spent a lot of money. You see, the road is smooth and smooth, with no cracks at all."

“Yes, this concrete is very expensive now, more than 300 per ton. How much does it cost to pave so many roads on this mountain?”

“Who knows, the concrete that was delivered directly from the big tanker truck, the engineering team was busy working on it... and even the pond that was pumped out was less!"

After the concrete was poured and formed, continuous watering was required. Fortunately, Song Tan was not willing to melt the spiritual energy into the water at that time. The streams on the mountain and the ponds below were used to build these crisscrossing roads beautifully.

 It takes a lot of time and money.

 But if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Now it is convenient to use them!

 For example, the cart transporting peach trees can be parked directly on the hillside, and some tools and other things can be run around the mountain on a tricycle...

 A lot of money has been spent, and the convenience has been greatly improved. Even if it rained just last night, everyone does not have to worry about muddy feet while walking on the road.

Zhang Wang's family was limping next to them, looking at their patch of kudzu and smiling from ear to ear.

This land actually belongs to Song Tan, but Song Tan said that it would be a pity to dig up the kudzu. Let him harvest it this winter and save more money, so that he will not be afraid of retirement in the future.

For this reason, he worked with all his heart. As soon as the canteen on the mountain was built a while ago, even if he couldn't bear to part with it, he gritted his teeth and moved the food directly here.

Wang Xiaoshun just left two days ago, but Master Jiang is here alone, and his craftsmanship is also very good!

Although they were a little uncomfortable at first, after eating it for several days, the Zhang Wang family felt satisfied.

If nothing else, if he were to go back and cook by himself, it would probably be either plain water noodles mixed with pickles, or leftover rice and leftover vegetables, as long as he can survive on the main one.

Now, he couldn't be more satisfied!
