Chenqiao is actually not too far from the factory building, only ten miles away. The next day, Ji Cha went to the factory building early for a tour, and then took advantage of the sun not yet fully out to ride a bicycle to the orchard at Chenqiao.
The orchard really couldn't continue to grow. Before driving in from the narrow road, Ji Cha saw a crooked handwritten billboard on the road outside: 10-year-old fruit trees at low prices.
He went all the way in, only to see a large area of fruit trees, and one or two workers were cutting trees.
Looking around Ji Cha's eyes, it turned out that a large area of fruit trees were withered and yellow, and less than one-third of the hundred trees were alive.
No wonder the orchard can't keep growing, what kind of business can do well with this way of death.
After driving a short distance, Ji Cha finally saw a few houses. No one was seen outside, so he parked the car and shouted inside, "Is anyone there?"
It took more than ten seconds before someone responded, "Wait, wait."
A dark-skinned middle-aged man ran out from behind, with a sad expression on his face. He tried his best to cheer up and deal with Ji Cha, "Are you here to buy fruit trees?"
The man looked Ji Cha up and down, then turned his head to look at the little eDonkey next to Ji Cha, and his attitude was obviously a bit slack, "If I don't buy it, I'll go back."
The sun came out gradually, and it was very hot outside.
"Let's go inside the house and make an agreement," Ji Cha didn't see him, and walked inside first.
The middle-aged man hurried to catch up, "Are you going to buy it or not?"
"Buy," Ji Cha walked into the room, fanned himself with his hands, and asked, "I want to buy apple trees and pear books, and if there are oranges, I want two. What's your price?"
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The fruit trees here are all good varieties. If it hadn't been for a sudden disaster, I wouldn't be able to sell it like this without enough money. The apple tree is eight years old, so it counts as one thousand. Five trees, ten years of pear trees and orange trees, one thousand and one trees, if not for the disaster, I would not be willing to sell them three times."
Ji Cha looked out, and estimated the price himself, and thought it was a good deal. If the apple trees are well cared for, the yield of one tree can reach several hundred catties, which is very cost-effective.
"Boss, when did this fruit tree start to die? It won't die after I buy it back, will it?" Ji Cha felt that he should ask clearly.
"No, no," the middle-aged man hurriedly retorted, "It started to die a month ago, it's inexplicable! Some of them died overnight. I asked the experts in the city to look at it, and they couldn't find the reason at all, but Fortunately, the remaining saplings are not only not dead, but I think they are growing better than before, but the orchard here cannot continue to grow, so there is no way to sell them.”
In this way, it is almost because of the influence of the end times. According to what the middle-aged man said, those remaining saplings were growing better than before, Ji Cha didn't doubt it.
In the past, there were also species that adapted to the end of the world and began to show superior characteristics than before.
"If you buy it, we will take care of the car and send it to you." The middle-aged man was afraid that Ji Cha would change his mind, so he added.
Ji Cha shook his head, "No, I'll have someone drive over to pick it up tomorrow." He took out 2,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man, "This is the deposit. I'll come over at this time tomorrow morning. Plant two fruit trees each, and you help me get ready."
The middle-aged man took the money and counted it, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll pick out some good ones for you first."
In midsummer, the heat at noon is unbearable.
Ji Cha slept in the ventilated area on the first floor of the factory building, and the rest of the workers surrounded the two cabinet-type air conditioners to blow the cold air, with four or five large watermelons and a large bucket of mung bean porridge in front of them.
Speaking of Ji Cha, everyone praised him for his generosity, but Ji Cha himself said that he can use the electricity when it is available, and it will not be too late to save money when the electricity is out. .
There was a lot of talking over there. He tossed and turned for a while and couldn't fall asleep. He was secretly thinking about purchasing food and medicine.
The phone suddenly rang twice at this moment, and Ji Cha could guess that it was a text message from that pervert without even looking at it.
"Yesterday's dream was all wet with you."
Ji Cha squinted his eyes slightly while holding the phone, looked back and forth several times before putting the phone down again. It's just a dream, what the hell is that wet
"You don't stop in such hot weather." He thought for a while and went back to one.
"I can't control thinking about you." The other party's recovery speed was as fast as ever.
In an environment where the background sound was gnawing watermelon and drinking sugar water, Ji Cha turned over and replied generously, "Then think about it slowly, if you think about it for another month, you won't have to think about it."
"Is it because of the end of the world?" The reaction on the other side was surprisingly quick.
Ji Cha's mobile phone typed quickly, "Yes, when the time comes, the world will be full of living dead people, eating human flesh, biting people when they see them, and those who are bitten will also become living dead, and the world will be in chaos. kind."
After this text message, there was no reply for a long time.
Ji Cha was speechless, thinking that he was frightened? Just as he was about to put his phone aside for a nap, a beating phone rang suddenly.
He hastily looked down, and to his surprise, it was Liang Jincheng.
"Hello?" Ji Cha got up and walked to a place where there were few people, and then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Senior, what do you need from me?"
"Are you happy on vacation at home?" Liang Jincheng's deep voice came from the phone.
"I live a fulfilling life every day!" Ji Cha said.
This is true, he now rides the battery car almost without rest every day.
"Okay," Liang Jincheng said with a smile in his voice, "You guys start school in September, right? I'm going to S City at the end of August. Do you want a ride back?"
end of august
The end of August is just right! The troubled times hadn't completely erupted yet, and Liang Jincheng couldn't leave as soon as he arrived here for two days. Ji Cha felt that this arrangement was good, and immediately agreed loudly, "Okay, it's a deal."
After hanging up the phone with Liang Jincheng, Ji Cha was in a good mood. After walking around the house twice, he didn't take a nap at all, and excitedly went to Zhang Xing's place to study solar cars with him.
In fact, there have been examples of successful inventions in European countries long ago, but the design of the panel covering the car body is the same as exposing one's own flesh to zombies in the apocalypse. If this car dared to drive out, it would be skinned on the spot.
And from the perspective of the cost of the car body, it is not worth it. After discussing it, the two decided to overturn it.
"There are actually quite a lot of types of electric vehicles now, but the reinforcement requirements you mentioned need to be more difficult. You have to send them to a special auto repair shop to get them." Zhang Xingdao, "And the key is that many types of modifications can be done. It is not allowed by law, what is your car used for?"
