When I got home, my grandpa was feeding the chicks.
Dahuang came over wagging his tail and making a haha ??sound, as if he was asking if he had brought me anything delicious.
Seeing that there was nothing in Jiang Tian's hand, he walked around for a few times without giving up, only to find that there was really nothing, so he had to run to the side and lie down in frustration.
Grandpa asked: "How is that restaurant?"
"It's not bad, it's quite popular. We're going to open a few more restaurants, otherwise one won't be enough."
"Okay, this is a good thing, you just have to see for yourself."
Jiang Tian nodded, "I plan to contract a few more pieces of land. There is too much abandoned land in our village, which can be used just right. And I plan to build an orchard. Then I will grow some fruits, which will be good for eating by myself or selling. .¡±
¡°There is an orchard in the village, it¡¯s your Aunt Zheng¡¯s house, do you remember?¡±
"Aunt Zheng?" Jiang Tian was stunned.
"It seems that you have forgotten that she used to give you peaches when you were young, and she kept saying that she would marry her daughter to you."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing. Aunt Zheng used to live in the north of the village. She had an orchard at home, with many peach trees planted in it. Whenever the peaches ripened, After that, a lot of peaches will be taken out and scattered around the village.
Especially like children, they often make canned peaches and give them to children in various households, which are very popular with children.
Her family has two children, a boy and a girl. The boy has gone to serve in the army and is said to be very promising, while the girl has very good academic performance. At that time, she often said that she should marry Jiang Tian instead. Anyway, the two of them are childhood sweethearts.
They didn¡¯t understand these things at that time. When they played house, they actually pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
But then the whole family moved away, and there were no relatives in the village, so they never came back.
When I was in high school, I heard about the girl. She was in the school next door, but I couldn¡¯t meet her often, so I didn¡¯t look for her. I heard that her grades were very good and her college entrance examination scores were also pretty good.
As for where they are now, I really don¡¯t know.
"Remember, since Aunt Zheng and her family left, the orchard has been abandoned and no one has taken care of it. Later, she was called back by the village chief once. It was about the contract for the orchard. It was said that it had expired. You If she continued to renew the lease, she would have to pay money. She felt that she would never come back, so she gave up. Considering that there were still fruit trees in the orchard, the village gave her a subsidy."
"Later, some villagers also thought about contracting orchards to sell fruits, but they all lost money. I don't know what happened. No matter how they took care of it, the result rate was not high, and the quality of the peaches was not good either. Two villagers in succession had If you don¡¯t believe this evil, one of them keeps applying farmyard manure, but it¡¯s useless.¡±
"There's no other way. You can't just keep losing money and then return it all to the village. Now there are some old and weak children left in the village, and it's impossible to contract the orchard."
"There are such strange things!" Jiang Tian became curious about this.
Grandpa finished feeding the chickens and said, "If you are interested, you can go and have a look. Don't rush to contract it yet."
"Okay!"
"Then let's go over there now. I wanted to take over the contract before, but after thinking about it I gave up. It's not because of lack of energy, but because I don't want to waste a year's time in vain."
They went out, walked along the road, turned around a few paths, and walked a few hundred meters further. There were a lot of fields here, and at the end they saw an orchard with a lot of fruit trees.
It covers an area of ??about 20 acres, and it looks completely lifeless.
Generally speaking, the flowering period of peach trees is in March and April every year, and the maturity period is almost from August to September. It is relatively cold in the mountains, so this date may have to be pushed back.
In this month, the flowering period must have passed, which is the peak leaf period. Logically speaking, it should be lush and lush, but the peach trees in front of us are simply dry, with branches and scattered leaves scattered on them. , a few small green peaches hanging.
When they arrived, they realized the seriousness of the matter.
It is roughly estimated that there are hundreds of peach trees in this orchard. Because it has experienced multiple owners, other fruit trees have also been planted.
Like persimmon trees, apple trees?, pomegranate trees, pear trees, hawthorn trees, etc., there are so many miscellaneous trees. I don¡¯t know what the previous contractor was thinking. Did they want to try which fruit trees can survive?
Grandpa walked over and broke off a peach branch, looked inside, and shook his head, "No, look at the green color here. I guess in a year or two, all these peach trees will be dead. It's really It¡¯s strange, logically speaking, the soil here should be fine.¡±
Grandpa squatted down, dug up the soil, and twirled it, "The quality of the soil is quite good. The villagers who contracted the contract before bought farmyard manure everywhere in order for the peach trees to survive. The nutrients in it are very rich, so there shouldn't be any shortage." It¡¯s because of nutrition, and there¡¯s definitely no shortage of water in the mountains, so that¡¯s strange.¡±
"It was like this the last time I came here. That was several years ago. Although the peach trees were wilted, it was okay. I haven't come here to see it in the past few years. I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Jiang Tian also went over to check it out. The whole row of peach trees was in a mess. Because no one had pruned it, the branches were overgrown and there were not many leaves. It looked extremely weird. If you came here at night, it would be the best place to shoot a horror movie. Good place.
He broke off a branch of a persimmon tree and found that it was also dry inside.
The whole orchard gives people a half-dead state, which is really weird.
Grandpa patted the soil off his hands and said, "Let's go, don't think about this place. If you want to set up an orchard, you can contract land elsewhere, but it will take time."
¡°It takes five years to have peaches, three apricots and four pears, nine years to eat walnuts, and you have to wait to plant fruit trees. This cannot be done overnight.¡±
Jiang Tian nodded. He knew this, so he wanted to find a ready-made orchard.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: It has sufficient water, sufficient nutrient supply, and lacks everything. Why does it grow like this?
Jiang Tian thought for a while and decided to use his senses to see if there was any problem in this land.
The mental power spreads, sensing the surrounding situation.
First, the energy of these nearby trees is very weak and in danger. It is a conservative estimate that they may die in one or two years.
"Huh?" Jiang Tian discovered something strange. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
