Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 36 The Magical Classmate

While Xu Xiang was being beaten, Zhao Lei and Li Qian had already changed places to dig wild vegetables.Both of them were children who grew up in the countryside, so they were naturally very skilled at doing this kind of thing, and it didn't take long for the basket to be filled with wild vegetables.

Today's harvest made Li Qian very happy, and she said to Zhao Lei with a smile on her face: "Brother Zhao Lei, thank you for helping me dig wild vegetables!"

"It's okay, you're welcome." Zhao Lei rubbed the girl's head habitually, and reminded her with a smile: "But the homework is more important. You will be in the third year of high school when school starts. Are you sure you can get into one or two universities?" ?”

Li Qian lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My grades in the class are average. The teacher said that it's okay to get into a junior college, but it's hard to say a good university."

Zhao Lei pondered for a moment and said: "If you really want to be admitted to a good university, you must improve your grades. How about this, in the future, if you have anything you don't understand, just ask me, and I will give you tutoring."

Li Qian asked in surprise: "Really?"

Zhao Lei said with a smile, "Of course it's true!"

"Great!" Li Qian cheered and gave Zhao Lei a big hug.

Zhao Lei, who was suddenly in his arms with soft jade and warm fragrance, was a little dazed, and the girl's soft and delicate body made him a little distracted.This also reminded Zhao Lei that Li Qian was no longer that bratty girl back then, and the two of them were really not as close as they used to be, and it would inevitably cause some trouble if they were seen.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei lightly patted Li Qian's jade back and said, "Okay, okay, don't be so excited, the basket is full, let's go back!"

"Yeah!" The girl also realized that her behavior was a bit too much, she let go of Zhao Lei after a soft promise, and walked in front with a blushing face.

On the way back to the village, the two had to pass a small mountain depression, and Zhao Lei made a surprising discovery.In this small mountain depression, there are actually many pheasants inhabiting!

The two of them just passed along the path, and at least three or four hens were disturbed along the way, flapping their wings and flying into the nearby grass.As for the pheasants in the distance, there are more, at least a dozen or twenty.Among them, female pheasants are the main ones, and there are two or three male pheasants.

This was an important discovery for Zhao Lei, and he quickly remembered the location of the col.Zhao Lei originally planned to use the orchard to raise chickens. Compared with ordinary domestic chickens, the economic value of pheasants is undoubtedly much higher.Zhao Lei secretly decided to seize the time to build a chicken farm, and then come here to catch pheasants and raise them back. This is definitely another way to make money.

After the two crossed the stream, Zhao Lei reminded the girl to change back into her clothes, and the two returned to the village talking and laughing together.Zhao Lei sent all the wild vegetables he dug to Li Qian's house, and then went home amidst the girl's thanks.

When Zhao Lei passed by the small shop in the village, Hu Qiang stopped him: "Lei Zi, how are those fruit trees?"

Zhao Lei said confidently: "It's okay, there should be no problem in surviving."

Hu Qiang said worriedly: "Don't talk so much, these two days are extremely hot, I'm worried that those fruit trees won't survive much, this time your loss will be great."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Probably not, I'm going back to check the situation in the orchard, why don't you go with me and check it out for me?"

Hu Qiang always regarded Zhao Lei as his junior, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then go and have a look!"

The two soon came to Zhao Lei's orchard. When Hu Qiang saw the condition of the fruit trees, he was immediately stunned.

All the fruit trees have tender green shoots, and many buds have begun to stretch, and the leaves have been unfolded one after another.The buds of each fruit tree are full, the new shoots are straight, and the growth is very good.

This situation completely overturned Hu Qiang's experience. While carefully inspecting each fruit tree, he was full of praise: "This... This is really amazing. When Da Futian transplanted fruit tree seedlings, none of them died! Lei My son, tell uncle honestly, has the technology advanced to this level now, why have I never heard of it?"

Zhao Lei had already thought about how to explain it, and said with a smile: "This maintenance method is a research topic of one of my classmates. It is still in the verification stage and has not been widely promoted. It is normal that you have not heard of it."

Hu Qiang suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. You are a good classmate. You should contact others more in the future. They have helped you, but you must not forget them!"

Zhao Lei said kindly: "That's for sure, our relationship is very good, in fact, those vegetable seeds were also given to me by him."

At the same time, Zhao Lei also secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. No matter how surprising things happen in the future, they can be blamed on that non-existing classmate, and a lot of tongues can be saved.

Although the fruit trees have survived, Hu Qiang still reminded Zhao Lei with some worries: "The orchard is on a hillside, so you must pay attention to irrigation, especially now that the fruit trees have just been planted. If it doesn't rain for a few days, you have to remember to water them. It will be very hard. of."

In fact, Zhao Lei has been thinking about this problem for a long time. Whether it is a vegetable field or an orchard, it is too hard to rely on manpower to fetch water from the river every time for irrigation. He should think of a solution once and for all.

Now that Hu Qiang mentioned this matter, Zhao Lei also took advantage of the situation and said: "I plan to build a water storage tank on the hillside, and then build a drip irrigation system, which will save time and effort and save a lot of water."

Hu Qiang was surprised: "Such a large project needs a lot of money, right?"

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "But this system can be used for many years after it is completed, and it is still cost-effective in general."

In fact, there is another reason that Zhao Lei did not mention, that is, after the drip irrigation system is completed, he can use fairy dew to water fruit trees and vegetables more easily.

At that time, you only need to pour the fairy dew into the storage tank, and leave the rest to the drip irrigation system.Compared with manual irrigation, the drip irrigation system saves water, and the utilization rate of fairy dew will increase accordingly. The same amount of fairy dew can irrigate more crops. This is what Zhao Lei values ​​most. worth.

Seeing that Zhao Lei had made up his mind, Hu Qiang didn't say anything more. He nodded slightly and said, "One of my cousins ​​is doing such a project. If you decide, I can ask him to come and give you an estimate. price!"

Zhao Lei said happily: "This is the best, so I will trouble you, Uncle Hu!"

Zhao Lei's work efficiency was very high. Two days later, his cousin Hu Jun came to Sanhe Village to meet Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei took Hu Jun to the scene to see the specific situation, explained his requirements in detail, and then asked Hu Jun: "Boss Hu, how much do you think it will cost for this project?"

Hu Qiang quickly reminded Hu Jun: "Brother, I watched Leizi grow up, and he is like himself, so don't ask for a price."

Hu Jun smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao is the person you introduced, how could I cheat him! How about it, the whole project includes artificial materials, so it's worth [-]!"
