Lian Fangzhou thought for a while and asked with a smile: "I'm sure I can live. Now we just plant it, as long as the tree stump has no branches and leaves, it's not in the way. Wait for spring to water and fertilize, and it will come back to life soon!"
It is true that it is not possible to water now. It is winter, and if the temperature drops at night after watering, the soil is likely to freeze, which will damage the roots.
Lian Ze nodded, "Oh", and said, "Where is the right place for us to plant?"
Lian Fangzhou looked at him and A Jian, and said with a smile: "In the future, I plan to plant almost all persimmon trees in this small flower and fruit mountain, do you think those other fruit trees are interspersed among the persimmon forests, or are they grown separately? "
Lian Ze said it was all right, Ah Jian thought about it, then smiled and said: "Let's make it into a single piece! Isn't there a wooden house on the top of the mountain? I think it will be planted on the top of the mountain and go down around the wooden house, so that it will bloom beautifully. In the future It's easy to pick when it's ripe!"
"What Brother Ajian said makes sense to me!" Lian Ze smiled, imagining the scene of flowers blooming and bearing fruit, and couldn't help being fascinated.
"That's right!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and nodded, feeling good about it.
The three of them went all the way to the top of the mountain.
The fruit tree pits have been dug before, and they can be planted quickly.
One person loosens the soil at the bottom of the pit slightly, breaks it up and mixes it well, another person carefully puts the fruit tree in and supports it, and the other person fills the soil inside, and finally tramples hard on the surface to make the soil layer firmer. OK.
The three of them had a tacit understanding, one person was in charge of one part, but dozens of fruit trees were planted in less than half an hour.
Looking at the long row of wooden stakes, about half a person tall, bare and unsophisticated, Lian Fangzhou clapped his hands and said with a contented smile, "It won't be like this at all until spring tomorrow!"
The grafting of wild rootstocks and domestic branches is a real strong combination and a golden partner. When the spring breeze blows and the warm sun shines, the soft branches and tender leaves will grow like heaven!
Lian Ze also looked forward to it, and said with a smile, "That's the real Huaguo Mountain!"
"That's right!" The three of them laughed and went down the mountain all the way home.
That golden pheasant is naturally the dinner in the evening.
Grandma Sangu had already heard from Lian Fangqing and Lian Che that she boiled a pot of water at home in advance and waited for the golden pheasant to come back and shed its feathers.
I also soaked a few handfuls of dried mushrooms. Naturally, what I want to do at night is golden pheasant stewed mushrooms.
Seeing them coming back, Grandma Sangu greeted them with a smile, first praised Lian Ze for being great, then took the golden pheasant, and said to Lian Fangzhou, "You too, why don't you let the two of them take it back first? If it had been brought back earlier, it would have been stewed in the pot by now, and it would be ready to eat after a while!"
"Grandma Sangu," Lian Fangzhou smiled and said in a low voice, "I don't want people to know! Qing'er and Che'er are still young, so what if someone tells you that they slipped up!"
The fact that they went to Xianteng Mountain to pick mushrooms has been kept a secret, and the people in the village don't know about it.
Grandma Sangu suddenly realized: "That's true!" As she said that, she took the golden pheasant to clean up, and Lian Fangqing and Lian Che followed to discuss how to pluck the bright golden pheasant's tail feathers for fun.
Lian Ze was sitting in the yard, taking a wet towel and carefully wiping the longbow in his hand. A Jian was beside him saying something, and he nodded slightly from time to time.
Lian Fangzhou smiled silently and walked away.
The next day they rushed early on purpose, and everyone went to Xianteng Mountain again.
Today I wanted to spare a little more time for hunting, and I was optimistic about the location of wild fruit trees yesterday, so I dug them up very quickly today.
Everyone was very motivated, and soon dug nearly 60 trees, and then looked at A Jian eagerly.
The way into the mountain was chosen by Ah Jian.
For some reason, with Ah Jian around, the siblings, including Lian Fangzhou, felt extra at ease and at ease.
They didn't bother to think or use their brains at all, and left the choice entirely to Ah Jian to decide.
Ah Jian said yes, she will do it.
Ah Jian chose the direction, and the group walked towards the mountains and forests talking and laughing. Both eyes just look around and search for prey.
The forest is very bleak at this time of year, but some hardy birds chirp and jump from one branch to another, but they are all very small birds, not to mention agile, even if they are knocked down, there is no one. Two meats.
Just when everyone was about to be discouraged, luck finally began to improve. Pheasants and hares appeared from the field of vision one after another. After a while, Lian Ze shot two pheasants, and Ah Jian also hunted two fat gray hares.
They were different from Sun Changxing who lived on this. Hunting these was already a very important harvest. Everyone was very happy, discussing whether to go back braised in soy sauce, stewed soup or stir-fried, it was very lively.
"It's about time. Let's go out from here. This side should be a valley. If you go out from the valley, you should be able to get out, so it's time to go back!" Ah Jian said pointing to the left.
Even Fangzhou and the others nodded with a smile, and filed forward.
Lian Fangzhou accidentally looked up at the tree in front of him, his eyes lit up, he pointed to a maple tree trunk and said in surprise and joy: "Look! Bees, there are bees!"
Everyone looked over, no! The tree trunk about two meters above the ground was densely covered with bees, a black semicircular ball as long as a forearm.
"It's a bee! Will it sting me!" Lian Fangqing's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took two steps back.
"Don't be afraid," Lian Fangzhou hurriedly comforted: "Bees are afraid of the cold in winter, so they won't sting!"
Lian Che suddenly wondered: "Since they are afraid of the cold, why don't they go back to their dens?"
Because they were kicked out! To be more civilized, it is separated. Generally speaking, bee colonies are only grouped in spring, but it is not ruled out that they are forced to group in winter. In the past winter, Lian Fangzhou had seen it when he was investigating and inspecting the countryside.
In this way, bee colonies forced to leave the hive in winter have no shelter from the wind, rain, cold, and no edible nectar and no way to pick flowers. If there is no artificial shelter and feeding, then there is only one end, that is, the whole The army is wiped out!
But Lian Fangzhou didn't want to talk so much with Lian Che, including Ah Jian and others. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either! However, I was thinking about raising a few boxes of bees, and I happened to meet a nest of bees right now." , it’s a good thing!”
"Beekeeping? Does that mean our family will have honey in the future?" Lian Fangqing's eyes lit up.
"Well," Lian Fangzhou nodded and smiled, "We'll grow them on the Xiaohuaguo Mountain! When our fruit trees bloom, the bees will be able to gather nectar!"
Lian Fangzhou originally planned to keep bees because she wanted the bees to pollinate more fruit trees.
Lian Fangzhou didn't know whether the people in the Lin family's orchard could pollinate artificially—probably not, after all, this is an era that depends on the sky! She didn't see a beehive next to their orchard or house, and they probably didn't even keep bees.
