However, Li Yuan soon discovered that it was not easy to obtain this kind of tree species. Small-leaved red sandalwood is the best in India, and Hai-nan huanghuali, as the name suggests, is also grown in Hainan. In other words, these two types of trees are tropical trees, and they are almost impossible to grow in the Jiangnan area, so it is naturally difficult to get saplings.
Of course, in this era of advanced Internet, everything can be bought online, including these two kinds of saplings. However, Li Yuan was worried that he would buy fake products online. If he found out that the tree had been planted with other species after he cut it down, he would really vomit blood.
This question has troubled Li Yuan for several days, so that when he and Lao Liao quarreled, he was a little absent-minded, and naturally the other party noticed it immediately.
"Oh, it's really rare!" Lao Liao said exaggeratedly as if he had discovered a new world: "You heartless boy actually has something on his mind, did you do something illegal and criminal again, and worried that the police would come to your door? ah?"
"Can't you expect me to order?" Li Yuan frowned and said, "How can a law-abiding citizen like me do illegal and criminal things? I'm worried about other things!"
Lao Liao blinked and said, "Which girl's belly is getting bigger, so it won't end well?"
"Get out, I'm not as shameless as you!" Li Yuan gave Lao Liao a supercilious look, and said in annoyance: "I want to plant some small-leaved red sandalwood and Hai--South huanghuali, but I can't get saplings, what a shame! trouble!"
Don't look at Lao Liao who has been running on Li Yuan, but in fact he is still very concerned about his affairs. Hearing this, he immediately asked him: "Why did you think of planting these two kinds of trees? We can't grow them here!"
"I have my own way of doing this." Li Yuan said distressedly: "Now I am afraid of buying fake saplings, and I have been busy for many years without getting anything. That would be miserable!"
Seeing that Li Yuan refused to go into details, Lao Liao didn't mean to ask, but said triumphantly: "I thought it was a big deal, didn't I just want to buy saplings, I can handle such trivial things casually."
Knowing that Lao Liao would never lie to himself by bragging, Li Yuan immediately asked him pleasantly: "Do you have a solution?"
"An old guy who jumped in the queue with me before is now planting trees in Guangxi, and he is planting small-leaved red sandalwood and Hai-nan huanghuali." Lao Liao said unhurriedly: "He is always there. Buying seeds from the origin of these two kinds of trees can guarantee that the saplings will have absolutely no problems.”
Li Yuan immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a way, hurry up and contact your friend, ask him to send me some seeds, I will pay for it!"
Lao Liao glanced at Li Yuan proudly, and said unhurriedly: "I remembered, just now someone said I was shameless and told me to get out..."
"Hey, slip of the tongue, it's just a slip of the tongue!" Li Yuan immediately laughed and said, "You are old, wise, martial and upright, how can you be shameless, right?"
It was rare to gain the upper hand in the quarrel with Li Yuan, and Lao Liao was also elated and in a good mood. Now that Li Yuan was subdued, Lao Liao didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and called his old friend in Guangxi on the spot.
The other party knew that Lao Liao wanted some tree species, so he agreed without saying a word, and said that he would go to the courier company to deliver it in the afternoon, and it would be delivered to Lao Liao within five days at the longest.
"Okay!" Lao Liao hung up the phone, and said to Li Yuan indifferently: "Go back and wait, I will call you when the seeds arrive."
Li Yuan said flatteringly: "You're still amazing, you solved such a big trouble with just one phone call! It's true that you have crossed more bridges than I have traveled, and eaten more salt than I have eaten..."
"Okay, okay!" Lao Liao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't flatter me here, just respect me from now on, go about your own business, don't hinder me from making bamboo carvings here!"
Don't look at Lao Liao who usually likes to bicker with Li Yuan, in fact he still takes good care of this young man. Only four days later, Li Yuan received a call from him, saying that both tree species had arrived.
Li Yuan immediately came to Lao Liao's house excitedly, and saw the tree species he had been looking for for a long time.
The seeds of the small-leaf red sandalwood are larger, about the same as red beans, and there is a round film around the seeds. The function of this film is to help the seeds falling from the tree to glide for a certain distance, and can send the seeds to farther places to germinate. The seeds of Hai-nan huanghuali are slightly smaller, and there is a film around the seeds, but they are leaf-shaped.
Lao Liao's friends are very interesting, and they give a lot of both kinds of trees. Li Yuan reckoned that so many trees could not be planted in the small peach pit space.
However, having more seeds is a good thing. After all, according to the text on the back of the jade tablet, as long as enough spiritual energy is absorbed, the peach core will continue to evolve. At that time, the area of the peach pit space will also become larger, and more trees can be planted.
"Great, great!" Li Yuan, who finally got the tree seeds, was beaming with joy, and said to Lao Liao with a smile: "I'm going back, let's plant these seeds first!"
"Wait!" At this time, Lao Liao stopped Li Yuan, pointed to a flower pot outside the door and said, "Throw that thing away for me, by the way."
Lao Liao has always taken care of Li Yuan, so Li Yuan is also willing to help him with things, and he agreed without thinking. When he was going out, Li Yuan picked up the flower pot and found that there were only a few dry stems in the pot, which looked a bit like leeks and a bit like garlic.
Ever since he started using golden beads to grow vegetables, Li Yuan has become more interested in plants, so he couldn't help asking curiously, "What is growing in this pot?"
"I bought an orchid last year." Lao Liao replied indifferently: "It's just a common variety. If you don't take good care of it, it's basically all withered. It can't be saved anymore!"
"It turned out to be orchids. I thought it was leeks." Li Yuan suddenly realized: "I think, what's the use of you planting so many leeks? You might as well plant some onions!"
"Go, go, you ignorant boy." Looking at Li Yuan speechlessly, Lao Liao drove him away impatiently.
After saying goodbye to Lao Liao, Li Yuan rushed home excitedly. He hesitated as he passed the trash can, and finally brought back the orchid with a little green root.
When Li Yuan got home, no matter whether it was now or during the day, he brought all kinds of tools and went into the peach pit space to plant trees.
In fact, it would be an exaggeration to talk about planting trees. After all, what Li Yuan received were tree species, so it would be more appropriate to say sowing. This time Li Yuan brought two large flowerpots into the peach pit space, filled the flowerpots with the soil in the space, and then sowed the tree species soaked in spring water for a while into the flowerpots respectively.
In the end, Li Yuan watered the flower pots enough, and then moved to a place away from the peach trees to bask in the sun. In fact, strictly speaking, it can't be called basking in the sun, because there is no sun in the peach pit space, and Li Yuan doesn't know where the sufficient light comes from.
According to Li Yuan's limited knowledge about plants, he knows that three conditions are needed for seeds to germinate—moisture, temperature and air. Now that these three conditions have all been met, it depends on whether the seeds can germinate.
