Seeing that the workshop had already started, and looking at the open space on the side, the family members had dug a lot of holes in the morning.
Qibao divided the land into three parts: one for growing grapes, one for growing strawberries, and another for growing blueberries.
The first thing planted was grapes. Grapes are climbing plants, so for each grape tree planted, a wooden stake about one meter high was inserted next to it and connected to the stake of the grape tree next to it. Qibao wanted the grapes to grow not upwards all the time, but to grow left and right.
This way, you can pick the fruits by bending over, without having to climb up and down, which is also unsafe. During this time, the brick and tile deliveryman also delivered the goods.
At noon, the Xu family ate with the workers and had no time to go home and cook for themselves. It would be better to plant the fruit tree seedlings early.
Men in the village who were as old as the old man came to help plant the fruit trees. It took until 3 p.m. to plant all the more than 200 grape trees.
After planting the grape vines, the women of the Xu family took buckets to water them. They used spiritual spring water mixed by Qibao according to the proportions, so that the grapes could grow and bear fruit within their budget without attracting attention.
Everyone started busying themselves with planting blueberry seedlings. This was not as troublesome as planting grapes, which required inserting wooden stakes, but the workers were still so busy that they didn't finish planting until they got off work.
Seeing that it was getting late, the old man said, "Everyone, go home now. You've all worked hard today, but it won't be in vain. I'll pay you all when all these fruit seedlings are planted. When my workshop is finished, I'll hold a three-day banquet in the village to treat everyone."
