Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 27 Buying Fruit Tree Seedlings

Liu Shoucheng chatted with Zhao Lei for a while before leaving contentedly.

Zhao Lei came to Zhang Lei's table and said with a smile, "I made a small fortune just now, let me invite you for today's lunch!"

Li Hui immediately cast a wink at Zhao Lei, and said with a smile on her face, "We all heard that, you made a lot of money just now, no wonder you dare to drop out of school!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "It's just luck, let's go, let's eat!"

A group of people came to a nearby restaurant and asked for a private room to eat together.In fact, Zhao Lei was about the same age as Zhang Lei and the others, and he wasn't the old-fashioned kind of person who would make a few girls tremble with witty remarks at the dinner table. .

Li Hui, who was already a little excited, was even more cheerful, and had already exchanged WeChat and phone numbers with Zhao Lei.Although Zhang Lei and the other two girls were not so proactive, they had a better impression of Zhao Lei.

At the dinner table, only Zhong Longjie was unhappy, and just bowed his head to eat without saying a word.Anyway, this meal was Zhao Lei's treat, so he wanted to eat as much as possible to vent his anger.

However, when it was time to pay the bill, Zhang Lei insisted on paying.In Zhang Lei's words, this meal is to thank Zhao Lei for saving his life. If Zhao Lei insists on a treat, he will look down on her, a little girl.

Everyone talked about this, so Zhao Lei naturally didn't have much to say, so he had to ask Zhang Lei to pay the money, which made Zhong Longjie, who thought he could take advantage of Zhao Lei, very angry.

After lunch, Zhao Lei had to catch the high-speed train back, and Zhang Lei and the others also had to go home, so everyone bid farewell at the entrance of the hotel.

Zhang Lei deliberately stayed until the end, and asked Zhao Lei after everyone else had left, "Well, do you still have wild ginseng?"

Zhao Lei asked unexpectedly, "You want it too?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "The end of the year is my grandfather's [-]th birthday. I want to prepare a special birthday present for him."

Zhao Lei said unexpectedly: "It turns out that you are still a wealthy person, and you can afford such an expensive gift for grandpa."

Song Lei quickly explained: "Those are the New Year's money I saved up. In fact, most of them were given by grandpa. It is also appropriate to buy gifts for him."

For Zhao Lei, wild ginseng is the same to anyone, and he can take this opportunity to meet this girl with a humiliating face. Of course, he immediately nodded and said: "No problem, just leave a WeChat message, and you can contact me when the time comes." .”

Zhang Leixi said: "Then thank you first. By the way, didn't you say that you have to go through the withdrawal procedures when school starts? Remember to come to me when you arrive at school!"

"It's a deal!" Zhao Lei immediately agreed, exchanged WeChat messages with Zhang Lei and left.

Neither of them noticed that Zhong Longjie was hiding in the supermarket across the road, watching them exchange wechat messages with a gloomy expression.Until Zhao Lei walked a long way, this guy still gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Zhao Lei...I can't finish with you!"

To Zhao Lei, Zhong Longjie is just a clown, and it is not worth spending more energy on this kind of person.The most important thing right now is to build the orchard as soon as possible.

So after leaving the restaurant, he rushed back to the county as quickly as possible, and went to the county agricultural technology station to find Boss Wang to buy saplings.

Hearing that Zhao Lei wanted to buy saplings, Boss Wang shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No, no, this is absolutely not possible!"

Zhao Lei asked puzzledly: "Boss Wang, why can't I pay cash to buy saplings? Are you out of stock?"

Boss Wang stared and said, "Why are they out of stock? Three-year-old American cherry saplings, I have two or three thousand in my nursery. I can take you to see them at any time!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "It's fine if you have the goods, why do you say no?"

"It's still dog days, how can anyone transplant saplings at this time?" Boss Wang said: "Now the transplanted saplings can't grow at all, isn't this a blow to my brand!"

Zhao Lei suddenly realized: "So you are worried about this. Don't be afraid. I also know that this season is not suitable for transplanting saplings. Even if they all die, it's not bad for you. I will definitely not come to you to ask for compensation."

Although Zhao Lei said so, Boss Wang still shook his head again and again: "This is not good, there are hundreds of saplings, I can't watch you throw money into the water!"

Zhao Lei could only use his trump card: "How about this, I will write a statement stating that I am responsible for the survival rate of the fruit saplings, and it has nothing to do with you. This is legally binding, so don't you worry about it now?"

Boss Wang finally understood that Zhao Lei was determined to get the fruit saplings right away. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, when you want it, I'll notify the nursery to make preparations."

Zhao Lei calculated in his mind that it would take two days for Zijin Gourd to produce the fairy dew, so he said to Boss Wang: "The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, do you think it will work?"

"No problem!" Boss Wang immediately agreed: "I asked the workers to start digging the saplings in the middle of the night and deliver them at dawn. The sooner the fruit tree saplings are planted, the higher the survival rate will be."

Knowing that Boss Wang was thinking of himself, Zhao Lei also expressed his gratitude to him. After paying half of the deposit, he went back to the village full of expectations.

In fact, Zhao Lei also knew that Boss Wang's worry was justified. If there were no Zijin gourds, he would never dare to transplant fruit saplings during the dog days.

Even if Zhao Lei planned to water the fruit saplings with fairy dew, he had to plant all the fruit saplings as soon as possible.If he is alone, it will take at least two days to plant so many fruit tree seedlings.At that time, even if they were watered with fairy dew, a large number of fruit saplings would probably die, so Zhao Lei decided to find more people to help.

It was already dusk when Zhao Lei returned to the village. He didn't have time to eat dinner, so he found a few good families with good relationships and asked them to help plant fruit trees, agreeing to pay 500 yuan for each person.

Hu Qiang was also one of them. After hearing this, he frowned and said, "Everyone is from the village, so it's no problem to help. It's just...is it possible to guarantee the survival rate of transplanting fruit seedlings in the dog days?"

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "I will use the high-tech maintenance method newly developed by the school. I don't have to worry about the survival rate at all. Don't worry, Uncle Hu!"

With the lessons learned from those vegetables, others have confidence in Zhao Lei, so everyone expresses their opinions one after another, saying that they will definitely come to help when the time comes.

Two days passed quickly, the genius was dim, and Hu Qiang and others came to the hillside behind Zhao Lei's house.Zhao Lei has used the previous two days to clean up this area completely.All the bushes and weeds on the hillside have been cleared, and the planting can start directly as soon as the fruit trees arrive.

While Zhao Lei was waiting for the fruit saplings to be delivered, he unexpectedly saw Chen Lan and Li Qian coming to the hillside with hoes on their shoulders.
