Zhang Chengming sighed silently. This would be uncomfortable for anyone.
The whole village followed Li Mingqing and the other two to the back of the village.
Li Xiangjun carried a hoe.
After arriving at the village, he bent down, picked up the hoe, and skillfully dug a deep pit.
Zheng Qiangchao and his comrades squatted down, reached out and touched the soil, which was mixed with some gravel.
Li Mingqing felt that this kind of land and terrain were very suitable for growing fruit trees.
Asked: "How is it? Is it suitable?"
"According to my experience, there is no problem in planting fruit trees, but the sales are a problem," Zheng Qiangchao kindly reminded.
His words frightened Li Xiangjun and Li Mingfu.
Planting trees and getting fruits is a waste of time if you can't sell them.
The two of them subconsciously looked at Li Mingqing.
"Don't worry about sales. I happen to know a fruit vendor. The fruit can be canned, so there's no need to worry about sales."
After hearing this, the villagers finally put their minds at ease.
This is great, new income.
Zheng Qiangchao smiled and said, "If you say that, there's nothing to worry about. You can plant trees with confidence. You can plant apple trees, peach trees, hawthorn trees, etc."
At this time, a relatively loud voice came from the crowd.
"I planted fruit trees a few years ago, but the fruit was sour and inedible. What if the fruit trees I planted after all this effort are still like that? No one is stupid. Even if someone I know doesn't like the fruit, it's useless."
Old man Zheng frowned and said.
He was really worried that his fellow villagers would work hard but get nothing in return.
Older people know about this, but some young people may not know about it.
Ask while the professionals are around.
The villagers' hearts, which had just been put at ease, were weighed down again.
Zheng Qiangchao said: "Don't worry about that. Buy new varieties of seedlings, cuttings or grafting, not wild fruit trees in the mountains."
Old man Zheng nodded and felt relieved.
Li Mingqing had prepared the saplings for them long ago.
The peach and apple trees in the planting space, nourished by the spiritual spring water, have fruits that taste and are much better than those grown outside.
He had already completed the cuttings of the peach and apple trees.
Use new shoots with leaves during the growth period for cuttings. The tree branches store rich nutrients, grow vigorously, and are particularly easy to root.
A few days later, he brought the saplings back and placed them in the shed, waiting to plant them in the spring.
As Zheng Qiangchao left, he asked, "Mingqing, have you found a place to grow the saplings? If not, I can help."
"It's already been arranged."
"It seems like everything is ready, just waiting for the right time. I hope I can eat the fruits grown in your village next year."
"Of course I will. I'll send you two sacks then."
After Zheng Qiangchao and the other two left.
Li Mingqing instructed, "I'm going to the capital in February. When you two go to deliver the vegetables at the end of January, please stop by my place and bring back the saplings."
"Okay, I'm really sorry to bother you. You've been worrying about the affairs of the village."
"You guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going back to the county."
Seeing that he was about to leave, the two tried their best to keep him.
"No, you've been busy all day. Come stay for lunch."
"I've asked your sister-in-law to go back and cook. We haven't finished eating the meat we bought for the New Year yet. If you leave in February, we won't know when we'll meet again."
"Don't be polite with us, come to our house for dinner."
It was really hard to refuse the kind invitation, so Li Mingqing stayed for dinner.
Before I arrived at Li Mingfu's house, I saw smoke coming out of his chimney, and as soon as I arrived at his door, I smelled the aroma of meat.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw six plates of snacks on the table.
"These dishes are enough, so don't worry about it, sister-in-law."
"The food is already prepared. If you don't stir-fry it, it won't be fresh if you just leave it there."
Li Xiangjun brought two bottles of wine from home and placed them on the table.
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Two big bottles of liquor, but you can't drink more than me."
"Everyone in the village knows how much you can drink. Back then, when you competed with Zhou Jingli in drinking, you knocked him down while acting like nothing happened."
As he spoke, he opened the wine and poured it for him.
"A good man never brags about his past achievements. I haven't drunk in a long time. To be honest, I don't even know how much I can drink now."
Li Mingqing took the wine glass and joked.
"Everyone in the village knows you can hold a lot of alcohol. I don't dare compete with you. I'm embarrassed to even talk about my own alcohol tolerance. After two glasses of wine, I start to feel dizzy."
After Li Mingfu finished speaking, he picked up a small wine glass and poured himself some.
"That's so unkind of you. Change the wine glass to something similar immediately," Li Xiangjun reached out to grab the glass from his hand.
"I really can't drink it. I'll drink with you guys when my dad comes back later."
Li Mingqing watched the two interact with a smile and did not urge them to drink.
It would be bad if something bad happened after urging someone to drink.
"Mingfu, you need to practice your alcohol tolerance. One or two ounces is enough to rinse your mouth, three or four ounces is not considered alcohol, and five or six ounces is enough to walk with the help of a wall. How can you not even drink one ounce? You will definitely have to drink when you go out in the future."
Li Xiangjun spoke pragmatically.
Last time, the village heads of several villages gathered together for dinner.
In the end, Li Mingfu drank himself unconscious and was carried back by Li Xiangjun.
"Hey, that's my alcohol tolerance. Last time I drank too much I almost vomited my stomach."
Before the old village chief even sat down at home, Li Mingfu had already poured him a glass of wine. "Dad, drink slowly."
"I know what's going on."
In the end, everyone was drunk, except Li Mingqing.
Three people surrounded him and talked non-stop.
All they said were words of thanks to him, thanking him for not forgetting his fellow villagers and giving everyone the opportunity to make a fortune.
When Li Mingqing was leaving, the two men held him back.
