Chapter 302 Attempt
"Who?" Aunt Fu asked anxiously.
"That one!" Aunt Zhang pointed upwards.
"It's him!" Aunt Fu's eyes lit up. "This person is the most suitable! I'll go find him right away. I'll leave the matters here to you."
"Don't worry, we'll talk it out when we get there. Apologize if necessary to avoid any estrangement."
"I understand this principle. I'm leaving now."
Xie Yu was filled with rage after hearing what Aunt Fu had said. He wanted to rush to the Wang family and kill them all. He was concerned about the people at the top of his family, so he would not allow others to bully him like this.
He was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Aunt Fu and her family, but he also understood that he could not get angry at them, so he naturally directed his anger towards the Wang family.
The Wang family was in trouble. Xie Yu acted very quickly. Since they wanted to work, he satisfied them and arranged for them to work in the mining area.
Mines today are not as easy to mine as they were in the past. Not only are they hidden deep, but the rocks are also extremely hard. Even the awakened ones have a hard time digging, let alone ordinary people, as it would be very hard.
Coming here would definitely be something they would never forget. Xie Yu had people watching them. If they truly repented, they would be reassigned to new jobs, but getting out would be impossible.
When something happened to the Wang family, the other families immediately calmed down and no one dared to cause trouble.
After this incident, Aunt Fu and her family no longer had the energy to discuss what to plant. Once the land was dry, they would just plant whatever seeds were available. They were all nutritious ingredients anyway, and they could eat whatever they harvested.
Yun Xiang was busy on weekdays, so her planting was simpler than Aunt Fu's. She just intercropped, planting a dozen rows of wheat and two rows of corn, alternating them.
She didn't follow others and grow the crops herself. She went directly to the planting base and rented a machine. Everything was done in less than an hour, saving time and effort.
"Wow, this pear tree has grown quite big!" Aunt Fu was surprised. She hadn't been here for a while and remembered it was still a sapling then. Now it looked like it was three years old. "What kind of fertilizer did you use on it?"
Yun Xiang dragged the hose to water the trees. "I didn't do anything. The only special thing is that these saplings were dug from the wild. The black date trees and mountain peach trees over there are all from the wild."
She set aside a portion of her family's farmland to plant fruit trees as an experiment, thinking it would take at least a year or two. But within six months, they had already grown rapidly. She had underestimated the growth potential of wild plants.
"Oh, no wonder. The seedlings we picked from the wild are growing vigorously, but they don't bear fruit. It's all in vain. I think you're doomed."
Yun Xiang was unsure, "Let's try it first."
She watered the five pear trees and then dragged the pipe to water the black date trees. "Didn't you go to the planting field today?" She looked for him several times, but he was always in the planting field, completely obsessed with it.
"Oh, I'm not in the mood." Aunt Fu looked annoyed.
Yun Xiang understood immediately, "Don't worry about it. If it doesn't work out, just go with the mission. The plantation is there, no one will touch it."
"What's there to be excited about?" Aunt Fu said, becoming increasingly gloomy. "It's been half a year, and the crops haven't even sprouted, and the fruits and vegetables haven't bloomed. And we can only eat a few handfuls of vegetables. What's this?
You said I wasn't serving you well enough, so why didn't it bear fruit?"
"Pfft..." Yun Xiang laughed, "This is a matter of natural life span, it has nothing to do with serving."
"Hey, you know, we finally have the land ready for planting, and the germination rate has improved a lot, but why can't we eat it?"
Aunt Fu paused and said, "Many people pulled out the seeds to plant side dishes, such as spinach and lettuce. The germination rate was half, and they were a little weak, but there was still some harvest. What do you think, should I pull them out too?" She felt so sad when she thought about pulling out such good seedlings.
"I can't give you any advice on this. See for yourself."
"So are you going to pull it out?"
"Don't pull it out, take a look first."
"Hey, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going to go to the fields again."
There's no point in looking. "You'd better go on the mission."
"No!" Aunt Fu refused without even thinking.
"Okay," he said, "then go plant the fields."
...Without much persuasion, Aunt Fu left reluctantly. Yun Xiang was so preoccupied with her own affairs that she didn't notice it at all. Even if she had noticed, she would have pretended not to know. Wasn't the lesson of pickling mustard greens enough?
Yunxiang took out the life box from the space. Each box was labeled, and he quickly found the tender branches given by the plantation manager when he visited the plantation that year.
The young branches that are pruned in spring are very suitable for grafting.
That's right, she was planning to graft. Since she couldn't grow anything, she might as well find another way.
She was born in the countryside in her previous life. When she was young, she often saw her father grafting fruit trees. She had some impression of it and wanted to give it a try.
She remembered her father saying that grafted seedlings are highly resistant to cold, drought, salinity, diseases, insects, etc., and have particularly strong adaptability.
The most important thing is that it can shorten the maturity period, increase yield, and allow reproduction. Almost every point hits the mark.
If she didn't act now, she would be wasting her time and resources. If she succeeded, the resources in the wild were so abundant that she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Yunxiang chose the two most common fruits from the box, young branches of apple and pear, and tried hard to recall the scene of her father grafting them.
She was worried, so she went to the Star Network to search for information, but found nothing. This technology was obviously lost during the transition.
She first prepared the grafting tools, large shears, cloth strips, wooden boards and a small knife.
Once the ground is dry, start working immediately. First, use large shears to cut off the branches of the pear tree, leaving only two opposing branches.
First go to the left side and cut off a part of the branch, leaving the branch connected to the main trunk, shave off the leaves, and then use a knife to cut inward along the cut, stopping at about 1.5 cm.
She was very skilled with a knife, and her strokes were smooth and smooth. Immediately after the cut, she flattened one end of a young apple branch and inserted it into the cut, securing it with wooden boards, then wrapping it with a cloth strip to complete the job.
The first one on the left felt a bit awkward, but by the time he finished the right one, he felt comfortable. In one breath, Yunxiang finished connecting the other four pear trees.
Only two branches are kept from each tree, two grafted apple trees, two grafted pear trees, and the last one is a mixture of apples and pears.
Grafting requires temperature, humidity, light, ventilation, etc., but she has no idea to what extent these should be controlled.
Anyway, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot right now, similar to the spring in the past. The sun is not shining directly and the wind is not too strong, so let it be.
Yun wanted to work quickly, and since it was still early, he decided to finish grafting all the remaining fruit trees. He grafted two black date trees with red dates, hoping the flesh wouldn't be so hard this time.
She muttered for a while, then went on to graft wild peach trees. She chose four kinds of wild peach trees: two peach trees, one nectarine, one apricot, and one plum.
After grafting, I put away the tools, went back to the room to wash, made a cup of scented tea, and looked at the fruit trees outside the window.
I hope I can survive.
As I watched, I couldn't help but start muttering, "The grafting period is 24 hours, the healing period is 2 to 3 days, the fusion period is 3 to 4 days, and the survival period is 8 to 10 days. Adding this up, it will take more than half a month to get the results. Oh, I really can't wait even a moment."
