Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 604 Agarwood
Zhong Jiahong looked around the sugarcane seedlings for a while, then hurried over to Zhao Lei and asked, "Mr. Zhao, where did you buy these sugarcane seedlings?"

Zhao Lei's heart skipped a beat when he said this, and he thought there was something wrong with the sugarcane seedlings, so he said vaguely, "I entrusted a friend to buy it, what's wrong?"

"Great, the quality of these sugarcane seedlings is really great!" Zhong Jiahong gave Zhao Lei a thumbs up and said, "The root system is very developed, and many sugarcane seedlings have begun to germinate. The growth is amazing, and the survival rate after transplantation It must be very high!"

Only then did Zhao Lei secretly heave a sigh of relief, and said to Zhong Jiahong with a smile, "I have a good relationship with this friend, so I know he won't cheat me, and I'll leave these sugarcane seedlings to you!"

"Don't worry, I will arrange for everyone to plant sugarcane seedlings now!" Zhong Jiahong nodded with a smile, and excitedly arranged for people to go.

In many tropical countries, sugar cane is a very important economic crop and is grown on a large scale.Compared with those large farms, the eight hectares of sugarcane land in Xianhu Farm is nothing at all.

Even so, it is very unrealistic to plant such a large area of ​​sugarcane land by manpower alone, and it must rely on mechanical power.

Zhong Jiahong quickly asked the workers to drive two small agricultural machines out of the warehouse, hung up the appropriate equipment, and drove to the sugarcane field to work.

These two agricultural machines are equipped with special equipment for planting sugar cane, which can complete the work of digging ridges, planting seedlings and cultivating soil in one go, which greatly reduces the labor burden of farmers and improves work efficiency a lot.As long as two or three people operate one machine, two hectares of land can be planted in half a day.The farm has a total of eight hectares of sugarcane land, which can be planted in at most three days.

Zhao Lei is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper. Of course, he would not stare at the farm workers at work, but went to the beach to enjoy the clear water and bright sunshine.

Although the farm is not a tourist attraction, the scenery by the sea is very good.There are clear sea water and golden sandy beaches, and there are a few coconut trees swaying by the sea, which is comparable to many famous beaches.

More importantly, as Zhao Lei is the owner of the farm, this beach also belongs to him. Zhao Lei can enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him alone without being disturbed by others.

Looking at the clear and vast ocean in front of him, Zhao Lei also felt in a good mood, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "When the villa is built, I will bring Sister Chen Lan and the others to play. There is no other beach at all...they will definitely like it very much. of!"

Thinking of his confidante friends playing on the beach in swimsuits, Zhao Lei couldn't wait to take them here for vacation.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao!" Just as Zhao Lei was dreaming of a bright future, he was pulled back to reality by a voice.

Zhao Lei looked back with some dissatisfaction, and saw Mahathir running towards him profusely, so he asked him with a slight frown, "Mahathir, what do you want me to do in such a hurry?"

Mahathir panted: "Yes, otherwise I won't bother you. The small garden in front of the villa is about to break ground, but there are two trees that need to be cut down. I still need to ask for your opinion."

Mahathir's words caught Zhao Lei a little surprised. They were just two trees, and it was too much of a fuss for him to decide whether to cut them down or not.

Mahathir also saw Zhao Lei's doubts, and quickly explained to him: "Mr. Zhao, these two trees are not ordinary trees, they are all white fragrant trees! I dare not make decisions on this matter, and I must seek your opinion."

Zhao Lei still asked inexplicably: "What kind of tree is Baixiangmu? Is it very precious?"

"Agarwood is the tree species that produces the most agarwood. After this tree is traumatized or bitten by insects and ants, it will secrete resin in the wound. The part soaked in the resin is the famous agarwood!" Seeing that Zhao Lei still doesn't understand, Maha Di introduced to him in detail what kind of tree species white fragrant wood is.

Only then did Zhao Lei suddenly realize: "So that's how agarwood came from. I thought there was a special tree called agarwood tree."

Mahathir shook his head and said: "Nowadays there are very few wild agarwoods, and most of the agarwoods on the market are artificially cultivated. These two white incense trees have been around for some years, and they are likely to be fragrant, so I came to solicit your opinion."

After being told by Mahathir, Zhao Lei also became interested, and quickly said to him, "Let's go and have a look together!"

Zhao Lei soon saw the white fragrant trees mentioned by Mahathir. The two trees were three stories high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, but they looked very ordinary.If Mahathir hadn't said that it was white incense wood, Zhao Lei would never have thought that such an ordinary tree could produce precious agarwood.

However, the two white fragrant trees really grew out of place, not only blocking the light of the villa, but also just in the middle of the garden.If the white fragrant wood is allowed to continue to grow, it will not only completely destroy the artistic conception of the garden, but also affect the lighting of the villa.So Zhao Lei asked Mahathir to cut down the tree without much hesitation.

Now that Zhao Lei agreed, Mahathir would naturally have no objection, and immediately asked the workers to cut down the two white incense trees, and even dug out the roots with a forklift.

However, the cut white fragrant wood was not put together with other trees, but was dragged to the side. Mahathir personally came over with a chainsaw, ready to saw the trunk open to see if there was any incense in it.

Mahathir's efforts were not in vain. When he sawed the second white incense tree, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "There is agarwood!"

Zhao Lei hurried over to check what was going on, and saw a small brown part in the white woody part of the trunk, which was the agarwood, known as the "top of all fragrances".

Mahathir quickly put down the chainsaw and slowly dug out the piece of agarwood with an axe, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile on his face: "Mr. "

Zhao Lei said: "This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even know what these two trees are, let alone where Chen Xiang came from."

Mahathir said with a smile: "It's a pity that the quality of this piece of agarwood is average, and it can only be sold for one or two hundred dollars in the market at most."

Although Mahathir seemed a little regretful, Zhao Lei was secretly surprised.This piece of agarwood is only the size of two palms and weighs no more than two catties. It can be bought for one or two hundred dollars, which is far beyond his expectations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei couldn't help asking Mahathir: "Is high-quality agarwood expensive?"

"Expensive, very expensive!" Mahathir nodded and said, "What's more important is that there is a price but no market. Many times, even if you have money, you can't buy the best agarwood!"

Mahathir's words made Zhao Lei's eyes brighten, and he saw another way to make money!
