Chapter 56 Orchard Planting Plan

Deng Shirong came to the top of the mountain and was thinking about planting fruit trees on the mountain.

After the production team in the previous life divided the mountains into households, no one in the entire Bangjie brigade thought about planting fruit trees on the mountains. Everyone just stared at the trees on the mountains. They were all things that could be sold for money and could not be let go. People stole it.

After several years of this, one family sold out all the trees on the mountain and began to take the lead in planting fruit trees.

At the beginning, that family did not plant many fruit trees, only twenty or thirty trees. It was considered an experiment!

After two or three years, the fruit trees began to bear fruit, and after selling for a lot of money, it caused a sensation in the village.

So, from that time on, the entire Naye Village entered the peak period of planting fruit trees, and Deng Shirong's family also followed the trend and planted lychee trees at that time.

It's a pity that when he was choosing lychee varieties, he chose Heiye, a lychee variety with low economic value, because of his limited knowledge. After a few years, the fruit trees in the village began to bear fruit, and many of his family chose Heiye, a lychee variety. The family regretted it and slapped their thighs.

Because compared with the lychee varieties such as Feizixiao and Baitangyao grown by other families in the village, the economic value of lychees with relatively large cores such as Heiye is undoubtedly much lower.

However, the deal is already done, and even if you regret it, there is nothing you can do. You can't cut down the trees and plant them again. That will not only increase the cost, but also waste several years of time. No one is willing to do this.

The main reason is that no one in the village knew anything about grafting technology at that time, otherwise the lychee varieties could be changed through grafting technology.

By the time the grafting technology was introduced to Naye Village, Deng Shirong's sons had become prominent. He lived with his sons in the city for a while, and the family's orchard was left unmanaged and gradually fell into disuse.

Later, Deng Shirong returned to his hometown to live alone. He was not short of money and had no motivation to start the orchard again. Until he was reborn, the weeds in the orchard had grown taller than the lychee trees.

In this life, Deng Shirong will naturally not make this mistake again. He will not only be the first to plant lychee trees, but also choose the best lychee varieties.

When it comes to which lychee variety is better, most people in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, the three provinces that are rich in lychees in later generations, have probably heard of the names of the "Three Lychee Heroes".

The three outstanding lychees refer to the three most valuable lychee varieties: Gualv, Guiwei and Nuomici.

Gualv is a treasure among lychees in Zengcheng, Guangdong. It was listed as a tribute in the feudal era. According to the county annals during the Qianlong period, it was originally produced in Siwanggang, Xintang, Zengcheng. Later, during the Jiaqing period, due to harassment by officials, the people were unable to bear the burden and cut down all the Gualv. Of the green lychees, only one remains in Xiyuan Temple in the western suburbs of the county.

Therefore, the green trees in the West Garden are extremely precious. This mother tree once achieved a sky-high price of 2001 yuan at the green auctions held in 2002 and 55.5.

Nuomi Ci, also known as Mizhi, is the variety with the highest economic value in Guangdong. It is a famous Guangdong specialty fruit at home and abroad, and is known as the king of lychees.

Guiwei, also known as Guizhi, is named after the fragrance of osmanthus. Its origin is also Guangdong. It can be ranked among the top three with the first two, so you can imagine how good its quality is.

It is normal that the three heroes of lychees all come from Guangdong, because Guangdong accounts for more than [-]% of the country in terms of planting area and lychee production. It is truly the first place of lychee production in the world, followed by Guangxi and Fujian. As for Guangdong, Only a small amount of it is grown in places such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Taiwan.

The lychee variety that Deng Shirong wants to plant is Guiwei, one of the three outstanding lychees.

The reason why we choose Guiwei instead of Gualv and Nuomici is mainly because of soil problems. Whether it is Gualv or Nuomici, they have relatively high soil requirements. It does not mean that other soils cannot grow, but that other soils can grow. After all, the taste of Gualu or glutinous rice cakes is quite different.

Guiwei is different. It has strong adaptability to soil, is drought-resistant, and is suitable for mountain planting. Its meat quality is no worse than that of hanging green and glutinous rice cakes, so this multiple-choice question does not require too much consideration for Deng Shirong.

After deciding on the varieties he wanted to plant, Deng Shirong's only worry was that in this day and age, he didn't know if he could get cinnamon-flavored saplings. If he could, it would be a good thing. He could plant fruit trees in early spring next year.If it cannot be obtained, the fruit tree planting plan will have to be postponed.

It seems that you have to take some time to go to Lingshan County in Qinzhou District of Guangxi or the suburbs of Guangzhou in Guangdong, because these two places produce the best Guiwei lychees.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong went down the mountain and went home.

……

In the courtyard of Deng Shirong's old house, Guan Yongying and Deng Yunzhen were squatting there washing vegetables.

It has been a month since Guan Yongying got married in Naye Village. This month has allowed her to initially adapt to the new life in her husband's family, because her father-in-law and mother-in-law are both very talkative people, and they get along very happily, and she Her husband is kind to her, so her married life is still very happy.

The matchmakers of this era are completely different from those of later generations.

After receiving the matchmaking gift, matchmakers in later generations basically had nothing to do with the newlyweds.

But the matchmakers of this era have contacts with the newlyweds, which is almost like having an extra relative.

Now Deng Shirong's family is building a house, and the young couple Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying have to come over to help.

"Auntie Azhen, tomorrow is Shuangwangwei again, are you going?" Guan Yongying asked while washing vegetables.

Deng Yunzhen shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. If my dad doesn't go out tomorrow, then I'll have time to go. If he wants to go out, then I have to stay at home to cook, and I won't have time to go to the fair."

Guan Yongying said: "Then you can ask Jiugong when he comes back. If you have time to go to Wei tomorrow, then I will go with you."

Deng Yunzhen nodded and smiled: "Okay, then when my dad comes back, I will ask if you have anything to buy when you go to Wei tomorrow?"

Guan Yongying put the washed vegetables into the bamboo basket and said: "While there is nothing else to do now, I just want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some thread and knit a sweater for my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Deng Yunzhen was stunned when she heard this. Guan Yongying was now the new daughter-in-law. Her parents-in-law were very kind to her, so she naturally had to express her gratitude. It was quite appropriate for her to knit a sweater for her parents-in-law to show her filial piety.

Thinking of this, Deng Yunzhen was also a little moved and said: "Knitting sweaters is very good. It makes me want to buy threads and knit with you. But now I am still busy making clothes for my dad and brothers, but I don't have that." Time to knit.”

Hearing this, Guan Yongying encouraged: "Aunt Azhen, let's buy it together. After I buy the wool, I will help you make the clothes first. Anyway, there is still some time before the weather gets cold. I will knit the sweater later." It’s not too late.”

Deng Yunzhen hesitated and said: "This is taking up your time too much!"

Guan Yongying said nonchalantly: "What's the delay? Anyway, I'm free now. It doesn't take much time to make a few clothes."

Deng Yunzhen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, when my dad comes back, I will tell him that I will go to Shuangwangwei with you to buy thread tomorrow."
