Chapter 146: Searching for Saplings

The soybeans of this year are not those excellent varieties of modern times, and it is impossible to have the risk of genetically modified, all of them are local small soybeans, and the tofu made by the handicraft workshop is fragrant, tender and smooth, so delicious that the family likes to eat it.

Now Da Zhuang doesn't dare to come to be verbose, Xiao Dou Sprouts has a good playmate, and he often comes back after playing outside for half a while, so Qiao Xiaoru will tell him so much.

Little Bean Sprouts took the money, happily agreed, and carefully put the money on his body.

Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went to the upstream village first.

The upstream village is in the southeast of Luqiao Village, more than half an hour away.

When the two men arrived in the village, they inquired and came to the orchard.

This orchard is really as Liu Sanxi said, mainly planted oranges, oranges and dates, there are others, but there are very few, and persimmons are only planted in the corners and corners.

Qiao Xiaoru was originally a little disappointed, but after going to see those persimmon trees, she was a little happier all of a sudden.

Because the persimmon trees are very tall and large, the persimmons have been plucked at the present time, and the bare branches look gray, but you can imagine what it is like to be lush in spring and summer.

Qiao Xiaoru didn't ask if this persimmon was big or sweet, because there were no persimmons in this area that were not sweet or not.

She told the host that she wanted some young shoots to go back for grafting in early spring, and asked the lord what price was right?

The master was stunned when he heard this, waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "This thing is not worth much, what is the price!" You can do as much as you want, just come and get it when the time comes! ”

Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said, "I want a lot, I'm afraid it's almost tens of thousands!" You obviously don't have enough in this orchard, and you don't know how much you can get here, so you can't take it directly, this money will definitely have to be paid! ”

Qiao Xiaoru grafted the persimmon tree in early spring next year, and it would bear fruit in about two or three years, and the wild persimmon tree that she wanted to come to be a rootstock would have to be thick, if there was no lowering of the conditions. Think about such a thick persimmon tree, the buds grafted up have to be two, three or even more for one rootstock, right? In this way, it is not necessary to ask for tens of thousands!

However, if you want to bear fruit next year, you can't plant all the grafted ones, find some persimmon trees that have grown for seven or eight years or more, and transplant them with a thousand handfuls or two thousand, and you will be able to harvest next year.

No way, who told this persimmon tree that the second year of grafting is generally not fruitful!

When the master heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded, looking at Qiao Xiaoru stunned, and stammered after half a sound: "You, you want to graft the persimmon tree?" So much! ”

"That's right!"

"This persimmon is worthless, you will lose money if you plant so much! Little sister-in-law, I advise you to change to something else! If you really planted so many persimmon trees, no one would cry when they fell to the ground and rotted in the future! The old man kindly persuaded him.

Qiao Xiaoru insisted on going her own way, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I planted this persimmon tree!" ”

The old man sighed and shook his head, looked at Qiao Xiaoru with great sympathy, and gave up with a smile.

secretly said in his heart: I don't know which little daughter-in-law it is, she is young and ignorant, and she doesn't know what to think about doing such a thing, hey!

Qiao Xiaoru turned the topic back again, and asked the old man with a smile What does this price say?

The old man thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "There are about sixteen or seventeen persimmon trees in my orchard that can provide grafted buds, all of which are decades old, well, I estimate that I can give you 10,000 without a problem!" ”

There are also a lot of persimmon trees in the village, if it is not enough, then you can get some more from the village.

"Then let's order 10,000 of them!" Qiao Xiaoru was very happy, thought about it and smiled: "Look at this price-"

The old man was a little embarrassed, pondered for a moment and said: "Although this persimmon tree is not valuable, it takes a lot of effort to get those buds that are suitable for grafting, three taels of silver, and it can't be less!" ”

Three taels of silver, the old man was a little apprehensive when he said it, with temptation, and there was clearly room for Qiao Xiaoru to bargain, but Qiao Xiaoru felt that the price was worth it, so he agreed.

The old man was very happy, he smiled, and said with a smile: "Success! When the time comes, I will guarantee no less than 10,000 for you! ”

Qiao Xiaoru smiled and thanked him, chatted with the old man for a while, and asked him where there was an orchard to get, what the old man said was similar to what Liu Sanxi said, there was also an orchard in Zhongyu Village, and the others were small orchards of some squires and rich people's families.

Qiao Xiaoru also told the old man about looking for persimmon seedlings that are seven or eight years old and above, please ask the old man if he can help find them, how much she wants, and the price, a tree costs two to five cents according to age. The old man also happily agreed, and asked Qiao Xiaoru how to give her the saplings after getting them?

Qiao Xiaoru thought about it, so she asked him to store it in the orchard for the time being, and she would start to come and get it after ten days, and then take it every five days.

I took the saplings and gave him the bill at the same time.

Since the old man had planted fruit trees for decades, he naturally knew how to preserve them, so he agreed.

Qiao Xiaoru also told him that the age of the tree must be seven or eight years old or above, and the small tree is not wanted.

Where does the old man not understand? smiled: "Little sister-in-law, don't worry!" It seems that you are also a knowledgeable person, I promise to show you the age of this tree, it's not bad! Hehe, or you'll come to me next year! ”

Qiao Xiaoru also laughed.

Indeed, the persimmon tree only begins to bear fruit when it is about seven or eight years old, and if the tree is not old enough, it will not bear fruit.

Seeing that it was not too early, Qiao Xiaoru asked the old man to invite someone from the village who could write a few words, wrote the contract as usual, and left a deposit of one or two silver.

Seeing that it was not early, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went home.

The difference between the upstream village and Luqiao Village is that there is a big river flowing through the village, Qiao Xiaoru can't help but move when he sees this big river, this ancient ecology is so good, people in the town eat some fish, and people in the countryside village basically don't eat much, it is conceivable that the fish in the river must not only be more, but also big.

At this time, it is good to get some big fish back and dry them into dried fish, or hang them above the stove to make preserved fish!

Qiao Xiaoru made up her mind for a while, the weather has been good recently, and she will go fishing in the river in two days!

Anyway, she has a stupid husband, and a stupid husband has strength!

At the beginning of twilight, the two of them returned home, and Lu Qingmiao timidly greeted him and called with a smile: "Second sister-in-law! Second brother! However, this timid look is much less than at noon, so it is a little more generous and natural.

Qiao Xiaoru wondered in her heart: What the hell is going on? Seedlings spend a day at home - what does Yang want to do?
