Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

Before the second base and the third base had time to hit, the hard-working masons and header builders had already started work, and they were working hard on the bottom.

The two had no choice but to give up, and settled it hastily under the quilt.

Lu Fangzhou was a little disappointed, and Yan Yan tapped his forehead: "Fool, it's still night, don't forget about today's business."

That's right, I'm going to check the tea garden today, and I have to find a way to visit the old masters of Zhou's family next week. This is the top priority for long-term development. I can't be careless, so I immediately get out of bed and wash up, and I'm going to go downstairs like flying Make breakfast, and only when you are full will you have the energy to climb the mountain and see the tea plantation.

Yan Yan sat on the edge of the bed, dressed slowly, and looked at Lu Fangzhou with a smile. When he saw that Lu Fangzhou was about to go downstairs, he hooked his fingers to signal him to come over.

Lu Fangzhou was surprised, so he hurried on.

Wan Yan wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her: "This is how you are allowed to go downstairs."

Lu Fangzhou's face turned red in an instant. After it was over, he felt that everyone belonged to him. It's not normal to go downstairs with a kiss. He hurriedly kissed back: "What do you want to eat? I'll do it."

"You decide." Yan Yan smiled.

"Noodles, do you want it? Squeezed noodles! Squeezed noodles with chicken are delicious and convenient." Lu Fangzhou said with a smile. Squeezed noodles are a specialty of Sheng County. They are very similar to the noodles at his grandmother's house when he was a child. Grandma cut up fresh vegetables and boiled eggs for him. It was super delicious, and he wanted to let Yan Yan try it~~~

"Okay!" Yan Yan nodded. Squeezed noodles are a more solemn meal for guests in Sheng County, and Maojiao's son-in-law came to serve them with pressed noodles.Lu Fangzhou cooked this kind of noodles for him, not bad!

The method of squeezing noodles with chicken is very simple. First, add various vegetables, soy products, and side dishes of meat products, then add the beaten egg liquid, and finally put the squeezed noodles. After putting it down for about two to three minutes, you can start the pot, and the speed of pressing the noodles is cooked. Almost like instant noodles.

The two quickly ate the noodles and finished the noodle soup. When it was cold, eating such a bowl of noodles early in the morning made the blood in their bodies smooth and comfortable.

Lu Fangzhou burped, took the tea garden materials prepared in advance, pens, ink, paper and other items, and went out with Yan Yan.

There are a total of five tea gardens belonging to the Zhou family. From the boundary of Xiaotan Village to the county seat of Sheng County, there are ten big hills in total.All the tea gardens are located on the sunny side. Those hills with high altitude generally extend from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, while those with lower altitudes and other hills behind them basically extend directly to the top of the mountain.

Roughly counting, thousands of acres is not a problem, and every tea garden is not abandoned, and there are people taking care of it.

When Lu Fangzhou stayed at his grandmother’s house when he was a child, he knew some methods of maintaining tea gardens in winter. He needed to compost in winter. The fertilizer used was pig manure from various pig pens. Pigs were raised for a year, and the manure in the pig pens was generally not cleaned up. It is reserved for tea gardens.When the pigs are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, they will be cleaned up once, and they will continue to be raised next year.

The pig manure is buried in a ditch, a certain distance from the roots of the tea trees. After the burial, some marks will be made with straw.

In addition to composting, there are also warming and pruning. To keep warm, straw is used to protect the roots of tea trees. It should not be thick or thin. As for pruning, it is an important part of plant overwintering. It can preserve nutrients and help the next year to thrive. At the same time, which branches should be cut off , Which branches to leave is also unique. If you trim it well, it will grow well in the coming year.

The meticulous care of these tea gardens is obviously very good. Not to mention compared with the [-] mu tea garden opened by Lu Fangzhou last year, it is much better than those tea gardens managed by Master Lu himself.It can be seen that although the old masters who live in these tea gardens are old, they are still thinking about it.

Lu Fangzhou couldn't help being moved, and at the same time he said enviously: "If only my several acres of tea gardens can be fertilized and pruned like this."

"Hmph, ignorant boy, how can you fertilize those acres of land just after planting for the winter?" An old man's voice suddenly sounded, and there was a clump of tea trees away from Lu Fangzhou.

Lu Fangzhou was surprised. Looking around, he saw a thin old man with gray hair standing up from the tea tree, holding a pair of scissors, which were stained with some tree branches.

Apparently he was a tea farmer who came to prune tea trees. From what he said just now, he seemed to be very good at maintaining tea trees, and he also knew something about the conditions of the tea gardens in Xiaotan Village.

is a connoisseur.

Lu Fangzhou just wanted to find an expert to ask, so he hurriedly said: "Old man, you can tell that you are an expert when you hear it. I don't know much about tea trees. Why can't I fertilize them just after they are planted?"

"Hmph! You just don't understand tea trees, you don't even know how to plant land." The old man snorted and bent down to continue pruning tea trees, not wanting to answer Lu Fangzhou's question.

Lu Fangzhou would not give up. He looked around and wanted to find a wider road through the tea bushes to ask the old man, but the tea trees were planted neatly and close together. .

Just when he was in trouble, Yan Yan put his arms around Lu Fangzhou's waist, jumped easily, and turned over to the other side before his clothes even touched the tea tree.

The old man stopped pruning because he was afraid of damage to the tea tree, and then started pruning again.

Lu Fangzhou hurriedly squatted down next to the old man, ignoring the old man's expression that he didn't want to talk to him, and began to grind like brown sugar: "Old man, I have never planted land, but I want to learn now, just tell me. I'm smart and will definitely remember."

"It's useless to memorize crop work alone." The old man snorted.

"Yes, apply what you have learned. Theory is not as good as practice. Old man, you are right. Tell me first, and I will do as you say." Lu Fangzhou said with a smile, nothing to make things difficult for the old man.

Hearing this, the old man stopped the scissors in his hand, gave Lu Fangzhou a strange look, and then pointed to the small hoe beside him: "Want to learn? Can you loosen the soil?" The old man made a loose soil Demonstrating the movement, then raised his chin, "See those straws knotted on the ground? Go loose."

Lu Fangzhou was taken aback when he heard the words, the straw was full of pig manure, he still knew this, and asked him to loosen the pig manure... Lu Fangzhou felt a little nauseous.

The old man snorted immediately, with an expression that was as expected.

Lu Fangzhou had no choice but to grit his teeth, loosen the pig manure, loosen the pig manure, and turn it into spring mud to protect the flowers. He can't dislike it.Then he picked up the small hoe, followed the movements taught by the old man, and began to loosen it seriously.

Yan Yan kept silent and followed behind Lu Fangzhou, ready to help him when he squatted for too long and got up too hard and fell too hard.

The old man didn't care about Lu Fangzhou, he just lowered his head to trim the tea trees, and only raised his head after a row of tea trees were pruned. Seeing that Lu Fangzhou was still loosening the tea trees seriously, the old man's expression moved slightly.

Holding the scissors, he walked to Lu Fangzhou with his hands behind his back, and stretched out his toes to tap the knot on the ground that Lu Fangzhou was about to loosen: "You don't need to loosen this place, and you don't need to loosen the next one. The next one is needed."

Lu Fangzhou was puzzled, and he didn't forget to ask: "Why not?"

"It depends on the tea tree, not the land. In the two places that do not need to be loose, the branches of the tea tree are full and the bark is shiny. In the place where the tea tree is to be loose, the bark of the tea tree is dull, indicating excess fertility and needs to be dug up. Some fertilizer." The old man explained, and at the same time glanced at Lu Fangzhou, "Whether it is crops or tea trees, there should be no excess fertilizer. Not to mention that the excess fertilizer will not achieve the effect of maintenance, it will also harm them. As for just planting Fertilizers were applied to the tea trees, but the roots had not grown firmly. Not to mention fertilization, even if the sky fell into the water, we had to prevent it from passing through, and we had to check the drainage in time. Fortunately, this winter is cold, and it is snowing. The snow has to slowly melt into water before it seeps into the mud. If it rains like in previous years, the few acres of tea trees you planted can be considered to be alive."

The old man continued to walk forward, stopped at the place where the soil needed to be loosened, looked back at Lu Fangzhou, and tapped with his toes.

Lu Fangzhou understood, and hurriedly followed, walking in a hurry and almost fell, Yan Yan stretched out his hand to help, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old man is waiting for you."

"Hey." Lu Fangzhou agreed.

Just stop and go like this, the whole morning passed, and it was almost noon, the old man took back the small hoe in Lu Fangzhou's hand, and went back with his hands behind his back.

Lu Fangzhou is studying hard, so he is not willing to give up like this, and he just follows the old man.

The old man stopped when he noticed it, and looked at Lu Fangzhou with disgust: "What are you doing with me? I don't have any extra food at home to entertain you."

"It's okay, I'll bring my own food when I go out." Lu Fangzhou said with a smile.

"If you bring your own food, eat it at the same time, don't follow me!" The old man snorted coldly.

Lu Fangzhou smiled apologetically: "I haven't learned this well yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you, old man, if I turn around."

"Learn? Planting tea and frying tea is something that you can learn by just opening your mouth? You can only learn it if you have a serious apprenticeship." The old man snorted.

Lu Fangzhou hurriedly said: "Then you always accept me as an apprentice?"

"Accepting apprentices is such a simple matter? You think it's as simple as going to the latrine to urinate, and you come as soon as you say it?" The old man turned around and strode away.

Lu Fangzhou didn't give up, and asked all the way: "Then tell me, old man, what do you need to accept me as an apprentice?"

"Humph!"

"Old man, don't hum, what's the use of humming? You have to come up with a plan, such as inspecting, inspecting my character, examining my level, you ask some questions and I will do it."

"Questions? Do you think you are a scholar?" The old man arrived at the house, untied the knot on the door lock, and opened the door to enter.

"You don't need to ask a question, this method is fine, you just say it, I will do it." Lu Fangzhou was about to follow in, when the door was closed with a bang.

Lu Fangzhou almost bumped into him, but Yan Yan stretched out his hand in time to pull him. Lu Fangzhou who came back to his senses looked at Yan Yan with helplessness in his eyes. With a smile, he pulled Lu Fangzhou to sit in front of the old man's house. on the stone.

"You, why did you become so irritable all of a sudden? If the old man is willing to teach, just follow him. Didn't the masters who planted tea for you last year tell you that you are treated well here and want to follow you? What the hell, I sent someone a letter to ask about it yesterday, did you forget?" Yan Yan said.

Lu Fangzhou gave Yan Yan a strange look, what he said earlier sounded right, but what happened later seemed to have no effect.After meeting Shang Yanyan's reminding eyes, Lu Fangzhou understood and acted aggressively.The old man was willing to tell him the secret of fertilizing the tea garden before, which means that he remembers the tea garden and also pays attention to Lu Fangzhou. The reason why he does not agree to accept apprentices at this moment is because there are still some old things that have not been let go, and he will be relieved after being excited.

Then he hurriedly patted his forehead and said: "Oh, look at me, I'm so stupid. Yes, they have come to ask, just invite them. It's just..." Lu Fangzhou paused intentionally, and listened for a while Movements in the old man's house.

The old man's room was not much bigger than the one where Yan Yan used to live. The stove was next to the window, and the window was facing the place where Lu Fangzhou and Yan Yan were sitting.

Lu Fangzhou hurriedly continued: "It's just that the tea garden here is well maintained. It would be even better if the original master here is willing to teach and continue to work."

As soon as Lu Fangzhou's words fell, there was a voice from inside the room: "Hmph! You know the goods."

Lu Fangzhou hurriedly glanced at Yan Yan excitedly, and Yan Yan smiled and sighed falsely: "The idea is good, what's the use if it doesn't work?"

Suddenly there was another movement in the room, but there was no sound, so Lu Fangzhou took some serious medicine and sighed: "Oh, I have to give up." Then he stood up, and Yan Yan also got up together. Before leaving, the old man sighed loudly from inside the house: "It's spring again, and we old men start to miss the wine-brewed steamed buns that my aunt made back then. If I can have another bite, I will do anything. well!"

Wine fermented buns?

Lu Fangzhou and Yan Yan looked at each other and smiled, let's do it now!

The author has something to say: Lu Fangzhou: It’s really a husband and wife match, and the work is not tiring~~~

Yan Yan: Husband and wife?Um!
