Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 303 Breeding Tea Saplings

In fact, Zhao Lei's real purpose of going down the mountain is to deal with the branches of the imperial tea tree as soon as possible.After all, there is no personal space in the Tea Immortal Temple, and it is too difficult to stay in the calabash space for a while, so he can only make a special trip down the mountain.

As soon as Zhao Lei entered the gourd space, he saw the tea tree branch that he placed in the Tai Chi Pisces pattern last night.

These branches were all broken by excavators, and the thickness is also different.The thinnest one is not as thick as chopsticks, but the thickest one is about the size of Zhao Lei's wrist. It has grown for many years.

It stands to reason that if you want to propagate by cuttings, it is best to use branches that are one or two years old.Because the new branches grow fast and have strong regeneration ability, it is easier to grow roots.

But for Zhao Lei, these are not problems.The cuttings and branches in the gourd space are also watered with spring water that contains spiritual energy. Unless these branches are so dry that they can only be used as firewood, there is no need to worry about survival.

Zhao Lei first cleared an open space on the grass, and made several furrows with the hoe that had been placed in the gourd space.Then cut all the branches into about five inches in length, remove the remaining leaves on them, neatly cut them on the ridge, and finally call the spring water to irrigate.

There were many branches broken by the excavator. Zhao Lei tried his best to use all the branches, and finally cut more than 300 cuttings.

Of course, Zhao Lei intends to develop the entire mountain into a tea garden, and planting more than 300 tea trees is definitely not enough.His plan is to wait for these branches to survive and grow into tea trees, and then use these tea trees as female parents for the second cutting to reproduce more tea trees, and then transplant them to the outside world for planting.

These tea trees were originally the direct descendants of the eighteen Longjing imperial tea trees, and they grew up in the calabash space for the second propagation. The variety will definitely be very good.Zhao Lei can fully imagine that the tea produced in his tea garden will be very popular in the future.

Looking at the neat cuttings on the ground, Zhao Lei looked forward to his tea garden a little more, and couldn't help muttering to himself in a low voice: "Hurry up and grow roots to survive, and then buddies will be able to breed more top-quality tea plants." Tea tree!"

However, Zhao Lei has never cut plants in the gourd space, and he doesn't know how long it takes for these cutting branches to grow roots and survive.He only hoped that this time would not be too long, so that the tea garden could be built as soon as possible.

After cutting the tea tree, Zhao Lei sat cross-legged in the middle of the Tai Chi Pisces pattern, and seized the time to practice the Sanqing method.

However, as before, the effect of cultivation on the third floor is not good.Zhao Lei practiced hard for several hours, but he hardly made any progress, which made him a little discouraged.

Zhao Lei has already stayed in Calabash Space for a long time. Although the speed of time passing here is different from that of the outside world, he cannot stay for a long time.

After finishing these things, Zhao Lei immediately returned to the outside world.He bought some food in a small restaurant in the village, and hurriedly drove back to the mountain. By the time he arrived at the Tea Immortal Temple, it was already getting dark.

Because of the damage to the imperial tea tree, the old grandson was in a bad mood.Zhao Lei didn't listen to him being told to eat, but just sat at the gate of the Tea Immortal Temple, looking at the eighteen royal tea trees without saying a word.

Zhao Lei knew that the old man had a stubborn temper, so he didn't urge him to come to eat. He ate something to fill his stomach, and then made a pot of tea for the old grandson.

This is Zhao Lei's first time making tea with the method taught by Old Sun Tou, and he feels that the tea brewed is indeed a little different from before, the aroma is stronger, but the bitter taste of the tea leaves seems to be less.

The old grandson picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Seeing Zhao Lei looking at him expectantly, he said three words: "It's okay!"

Although Lao Suntou's evaluation is average, Zhao Lei knows that he has very high requirements for tea, and the tea made by most people is not suitable for Lao Suntou.So it is actually not easy to get his evaluation of "just enough".

This put Zhao Lei in a good mood. Sitting on the threshold of the Tea Immortal Temple, he said to Old Man Sun with a smile: "These tea trees live or die depends on God's will, and it's not that you can't die just by looking at them. Why sit here and stare at them? Why are you working so hard?"

The old grandson ignored Zhao Lei, just poured himself a cup of tea silently, and looked at the tea tree at the entrance of the temple without saying a word.

Knowing that the stubborn old man would not change his mind, Zhao Lei didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he stretched himself and went back to rest.

Zhao Lei has been busy since the middle of the night yesterday, and he has indeed lost his energy. Although the steel wire bed is narrow and short, he fell asleep soon after lying on it.

This sleep went straight to dawn. Zhao Lei was just about to get up, but old man Sun rushed in suddenly, with a shocked expression on his wrinkled face.

Zhao Lei was taken aback, and quickly asked the old grandson, "What's the matter, won't someone come to dig tea trees again?"

"Follow me!" Lao Suntou said three words coldly, turned around and left.

The inexplicable Zhao Lei hurriedly chased after him, and followed the stubborn old man to the gate of the temple.

The old grandson didn't speak, just pointed to those imperial tea trees.

Only then did Zhao Lei realize that all the imperial tea trees were different from yesterday, and they seemed to have become more energetic.The leaves that have just grown are getting greener and greener, fluttering in the wind one by one.In addition to the changes in the leaves, the imperial tea tree has also grown more buds, even the one that was almost knocked down yesterday. Every imperial tea tree is full of vitality, just like Zhao Lei before. Seeing the sickly state is quite different.

Zhao Lei immediately understood that the spring water he poured yesterday had worked.This was expected, so he naturally appeared very calm.

However, the old grandson was different. He looked at the imperial tea trees back and forth, as if he was ten years younger with joy.

Old Sun looked around the imperial tea tree for a while, and finally thought of the crux of the problem, and hurried over to ask Zhao Lei, "What did you add to the water for watering the tree yesterday?"

Seeing the stubborn old man flushed with excitement, Zhao Lei was really afraid that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage, which would consume another drop of fairy dew, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Don't get excited, calm down first!"

However, the old grandson didn't listen to Zhao Lei at all, he just stared at him, waiting for Zhao Lei to answer his own question.

There was really nothing he could do about this stubborn old man, so Zhao Lei could only move out his non-existent classmate, saying that it was all due to that classmate.And Zhao Lei just used the medicine developed by his classmates just at the right time, where it should be used.

After listening to Zhao Lei's words, Old Sun was silent for a while, and after taking a deep look at him, he turned around and walked towards the Tea Immortal Temple.

But before entering the temple gate, the stubborn old man stopped and asked Zhao Lei lightly: "Would you like to learn how to fry tea with me?"
