There's a garbage bin in my head

Chapter 253
"Are you planning to plant a cherry tree? Is it suitable for us here? Other fruit trees have been planted in the village before, but the cherry tree has never been planted nearby."

"I asked the people at the nursery base about this matter, and there is no problem at all in planting cherry trees here. When I went to Baiguoyuan a few days ago, I saw that the cherries there were growing very well, and there is still more than a month left You can pick it up."

"If you can plant them, that would be a good thing. The price of cherries is always good now. As long as they are not too bad, they can be sold for tens of yuan per catty, which is much more cost-effective than growing other fruits.

It's just that I don't know how many cherry trees need to be planted per acre, but I can ask the person who sells the saplings when the time comes. "

"I asked this question when I went to the nursery base. They said that about 100-150 plants can be planted per mu of land. I think we can plant 120 plants per mu of land, which is exactly one piece of land. About 60 plants can be planted."

The land above the tea mountain is divided into small trapezoidal pieces, which are rectangular in shape with a length of about 50 meters and a width of a little more than 6 meters, which is exactly about half an acre in area.

According to the plan of 120 saplings per mu, exactly 60 saplings can be planted on one piece of land.

"I heard that the cherry blossoms are very beautiful. Then we can plant cherry trees on both sides of the road up the mountain."

Luo Jiu said with some regret: "It's just that when I went to Baiguoyuan this time, the cherries there had already grown. I didn't see them blooming, but I saw a large field of rapeseed flowers on the road."

Luo Liyun said: "I have never seen cherry blossoms, but peach trees are also very beautiful when they are in bloom. I used to work in Naeba. There was a large peach forest not far away, and there were many cities in the blooming season. People from here went there to play and take pictures."

When the two were talking, everyone poured thatch and all kinds of dead branches and leaves into the pool not far away, one by one, and it was getting fuller and fuller.

Looking at the thatch that would soon be full, Luo Liyun said to the people pulling the cart: "It's almost there, everyone, take a break and drink some water, we will burn all the thatch later."

"If these dishes are changed from before, the family can cook them for a year or so. In the past few years, no one has burned thatch."

"Yes, I still remember that when I went to the mountains to graze cattle, I would always bring a hatchet. When I saw where the thatch was a little darker, I would cut it off and put it there. I would pick it out after a few days when it was dry. return."

"At that time, cooking, boiling water, and pig food were all done with firewood. Only during the Chinese New Year, some briquettes were burned to warm the fire. Unlike now, when boiling water and cooking, either electricity or liquefied petroleum gas is used, and there are not many people who even use briquettes. Burned."

"My family bought 500 briquettes the year before last, and they haven't been burned yet. The air conditioner is installed in the house, and I don't know when those briquettes will be used up."

After stopping, everyone started chatting about home-cooked topics. Reminiscing about the bitter and the sweet is a theme that will never go out of style. This brings back the days of herding cattle and cutting firewood.

In fact, Luo Jiu still had a vague impression of this kind of day. When she was a child, her grandfather fed a big buffalo. It was taller than an adult, but its temper was very docile. Luo Jiu and her cousin would often ride on it. On the back of the cow.

But for Luo Jiu and the others, such days are good childhood memories, but for people who are now five or sixty years old, the previous days can only be regarded as hard times.

Fortunately, those days have passed, and the days now are still very beautiful.

But when everyone talked about burning firewood, Luo Jiu remembered that when he woke up in the morning, there were still people in the village who were still cooking. , don’t be polite, everyone just take the scooter and pull it home, as much as you want, anyway, burning it here is useless.”

"Xiao Jiu, even if everyone is burning firewood, they don't burn thatch for a long time. Just go to the nearby mountains, cut down a few trees and come back, it will be enough to burn for a long time."

"Besides, this thatch can't be burned. It burns out immediately when you put it in the stove. Unlike firewood, you can just put a few pieces in and cook a meal."

……

After resting for a while, Luo Liyun stood up and walked to a tin bucket, picked up a piece of thatch and rolled it into a ball, and said to everyone:

"Everyone, get ready. The fire will be lit soon. If those places can't be burned, everyone be careful to poke them with bamboo poles."

Watching Luo Liyun open the bucket and pour it onto the thatch, Luo Jiu asked curiously, "Uncle Yun, what's in this bucket?"

Luo Liyun said: "It is filled with diesel, which is used to refuel the tractor. However, some of the thatch is still a little wet, and it will burn easily if you pour a little diesel on it.

Everyone take one, light it up and throw it in together, don't stand too close, just poke it from a distance. "

With the sound of "one, two, three", more than a dozen fireballs were thrown into the pool full of thatch.

Soon, the sound of "cracking" from burning thatch was heard in the pool, and firelight and thick smoke came out. The ignited flames "whooshed" and came out two or three meters high. Even though Luo Jiu was far away from the pool, he could still feel a burst of heat.

Soon, after the layer of thatch on the surface was burned away, the open fire became smaller, but the thick smoke inside grew bigger and bigger.

At this time, the long bamboo poles in everyone's hands came in handy, poked here and there, and bursts of flames followed.

Luo Jiu also took a bamboo pole and poked it in once and for all, saying, "If we burn firewood on the mountain like this, if the town finds out, they won't say anything, right?

I heard that last year someone in the neighboring village was caught and fined hundreds of dollars for missing corn stalks in the fields. "

"It shouldn't be a big deal if we burn like this. There's nothing to burn nearby. Besides, if no one reports it, who in the town will come here to check."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if someone from the town comes, you just call old Xi Ren over, he is familiar with everyone in the town anyway."

In fact, Luo Jiu didn't need to worry about these things at all. Although the town said that fires were not allowed on the mountains, there were still many people who would light fires on the mountains.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't get caught, you'll be fine.

And now that Luo Jiu is the object of special attention in the town, even if they know about this little thing, they will just treat it as if it never happened.
