Chapter 97 Growing Bamboo in the Village
Wang Yong did not enter the kitchen because he suddenly remembered something. So he left the house and ran to his Land Rover to open the trunk, and took out more than ten plastic bags from it.
When his godfather Cao Wei saw Wang Yong hurriedly leaving the house, he thought something had happened, but he saw Wang Yong pull out plastic bags from the trunk. The things inside seemed to be the roots of some plant and were wrapped in soil.
Because Cao Wei has been working in the agricultural industry for his whole life, he was the first to recognize what was in his bag.
"Is this a bamboo whip?"
"bamboo?"
When Wang Yong saw that everyone had come out, he couldn't pretend anymore, so he simply stopped and said, "It's bamboo. These were all mined from the forest when I was traveling in YN. I was going to plant it behind the house. If I could plant a living, I would create a bamboo forest in our village. How about it? Godfather, can the climate here allow bamboo to grow well now?"
Cao Wei thought for a while before answering: "This is really hard to say. With the current temperature in winter in our village, it is definitely no problem to let bamboo live in the winter. I just don't know that the environment here is not suitable for bamboo growth. Although bamboo is very vital, it is really hard to say if you want it to reproduce quickly into bamboo forests."
"What are you waiting for? Since you can live, plant it first. Can it be grown into a bamboo forest? Then let it grow on its own." After the uncle said that, he picked up a bag and went back to the house and took out a shovel and wanted to walk behind the house. Wang Dahai was very optimistic about the possibility of an extra bamboo forest in the village in the future. This is a big selling point! Besides, the bamboo shoots he likes to eat, so how convenient is it to go out and dig one at that time?
"Haha, that's right. Just like Dahai said, let's plant it first, and let's talk about the others later." After Yuanyuan's father said that, he also carried a few bags of bamboo roots and chased Wang Dahai and walked behind the house.
Cao Wei shook his head and said nothing. He turned around and went into the house to get a shovel, then picked up a bag of bamboo and went to the back of the house without saying a word.
When Wang Yong came to the back of the house with a few bags of bamboo roots, his uncle and godfather had already dug a small ditch that was not very deep. Tian Yufan was putting a piece of bamboo whip every meter and then attaching a layer of soil.
Wang Yong made a total of twenty-eight bamboo roots, including phoenix tail bamboo, nanmu bamboo, spotted bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, Buddha belly bamboo, arrow bamboo, green bamboo, and ink bamboo. Although there are other types of bamboo in the small world, it is not suitable to take it out now. He can only wait for Wang Yong to plant it secretly in the future.
It's not a trivial matter for three big men to plant more than 20 bamboos! And with a professional like her godfather, Wang Yong was not worried about anything going wrong. So he simply didn't care about these things anymore. He went back to the yard to fetch water and prepared to plant them, and then poured water.
Of course, you can't use ordinary water at this time. Wang Yong directly carried nearly twenty barrels of spiritual spring water from a small world. If you pour these twenty barrels of water, you will definitely not have to worry about the survival of bamboo.
Just then, Wang Yong was afraid that these bamboos would not adapt to the climate here, so he carried another bucket of spiritual spring water with a drop of water of life and poured it evenly.
"Oh! I'm old, how much work has I done? My old waist can't stand up." Yuanyuan's father said while pounding his waist.
"Stop talking about you, even I, who do farm work all year round, can't stand it." Wang Dahai sighed with sweat on his forehead.
"We are doing too hard. Although we don't have much work, we are all working hard. We will definitely not be able to bear this sudden anger." Cao Wei comforted the two of them.
"Bad! When sweet potatoes were produced last year (harvested sweet potatoes), my wife and I had dug more than half acre of land in one day, and we didn't get up early or go to bed late. It's only a year since then, and we were so tired that we were sweating all over the place. We couldn't accept our old age!" Wang Dahai said lonely.
"Your son is almost thirty, what else do you want?" Cao Wei stabbed him.
"It's done, it's over. Everyone hurry up and go back to rest!" Wang Yong called everyone back to the house.
When he got back to the house, Yuanyuan made a basin of warm water for everyone to wash their hands. But as soon as Yuanyuan put the basin of water on the ground, the two naughty guys, baby Beibei, rushed up and started playing with water beside the basin.
Soon, Xiao Kelian also joined in. Relying on his smaller figure, this guy simply stood directly in the basin and flirted with water on himself as if he was decent, and actually took a shower.
Generally speaking, animals have an instinctive fear of water, but these little guys at home usually have to take a bath every day and no longer reject the bath. Especially the baby and Beibei, two little pandas, who are originally clean, are even more fussy and restless without taking a shower every day.
Yuanyuan was also very indulgent to these little guys. Wang Yong was about to bombard these naughty guys, but she came to protect them and looked at the little guys with a smile and asked happily.
"Okay, let them play. I'll make another basin for you." After that, he turned around to fetch water. And this girl was not relieved, for fear that Wang Yong would look back when he was not bullying his "little babies".
The three elders laughed at this scene. Seeing Wang Yong making awkwardly, he just didn't help but say something. Wang Yong rolled his eyes, turned around and went into the kitchen.
"Dad, uncle, what are you doing? Why did you all get dirty?" Yuanyuan asked in surprise as she looked at the people covered in dirt.
Before Tian Yufan could speak, Wang Dahai interjected: "Your husband is still trying to squeeze us old guys! We are so old and we still have to work for him!"
As soon as this sentence was said, Yuanyuan blushed and shyly lowered her head and refused to speak.
Who knew that Wang Dahai, the old man, didn't want to let her go, and then said, "What a shame? I'll get you married after the New Year, and then I'll sleep in the same bed."
"You are so busy, why are you teasing? I don't know that girls are thin-skinned!" Cao Wei cursed with a smile.
However, Tian Yufan smiled and looked at his daughter without saying anything. In fact, he agreed with Wang Dahai's words in his heart, and was satisfied with Wang Yong's son-in-law. But after all, his daughter knew that he would better try to help his daughter at this time.
"Hey! My dear, do you think this bamboo can really take root and grow here?" Tian Yufan's question changed the attention of several people.
"If you want to say that bamboos in the north cannot grow, but that is different from bamboos in the south. It is a problem of winter at critical moments. Winter in the north is too cold, and ordinary bamboos cannot survive at all!" Cao Wei explained.
"Well, I've seen some. They are not as long as they are just like a clump." Wang Dahai said.
"Yes, that's it. I've looked at the things we planted today. There are green bamboo, nanmu, and spotted bamboo. These are all regular southern subtropical plants. It's hard to say that they can live. After all, the temperature here is just suitable for their growth, so it's hard to say about other conditions."
"How long will it take for these things to be sure they will live?" Wang Dahai asked his most concerned question.
"Bamboo grows very fast. When it grows the fastest, it can grow twenty centimeters in one night. I think if these bamboos can re-germinate in the past two or three days, it probably means that they can grow here, but some can be introduced."
"Hey! That's it. Think about it, a large bamboo forest emerges in such a place in the north, which is not famous all over the country! At that time, the rich people across the country will go to our village to see it, hehe!" Wang Dahai was drooled by the future scene he described.
However, no one noticed the few people in the house. Everyone was immersed in the scene of playing in the large-scale bamboo sea that Wang Dahai said. Especially Yuanyuan, Fang Buddha had already seen a large-scale bamboo forest in front of him, just like in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Think about it, you can see a large sea of bamboo when you open the door. There are not only all kinds of fresh bamboo shoots, but also all kinds of small animals. Well, you can throw the baby beans into it at that time. It seems that this guy should eat bamboo like a giant panda?
The baby who was holding two lazy monkeys in a basin with the little dear wife was bathing, but the owner had already thought of releasing them in the bamboo forest in the future. However, the little pandas do eat bamboo like giant pandas, so putting them in the bamboo forest is an absolutely good way.
"Where are bamboos planted?" Yuanyuan asked anxiously.
Cao Wei, who didn't understand what she was going to do, replied: "It's right behind the house."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Yuanyuan rushed out of the house without stopping.
Yuanyuan ran all the way to the back of the house and saw the small ditch that had obviously been dug out and watered.
She squatted down and looked at it carefully. She was so shocked that she stood up suddenly. She shook her head and squatted down to look at it in disbelief. Not only that, after seeing this place, she ran to another place to check.
It was not until I finished looking at all the three places where the bamboo whip was planted and confirmed that my eyes were indeed correct that I ran into the house in a panic.
Yuanyuan, who ran back to the living room, said something that shocked everyone without waiting to breathe.
"The bamboo sprouted and all rushed out of the soil."
"What?"
"Impossible, this was just planted!"
"Go and have a look."
"Yes, go and have a look."
Several people ran out in a rush and arrived at the place where bamboo was planted behind the house. Everyone was shocked to see the bamboo buds that had obviously crawled out of the surface.
Especially Cao Wei, who is an expert in this field, is unscientific! How could it sprout as soon as it was planted? Could it be that the bamboo had sprouted when it was in the bag, but he didn't pay attention to it?
The bamboo I just planted sprouted and broke out of the ground in less than half an hour. What is the growth rate? It’s absolutely a monster! Isn’t it a spirit?
Cao Wei squatted down and observed carefully one by one, and after looking at all the twenty-eight bamboos, he finally confirmed that the newly planted bamboos had indeed sprouted and lived. The largest bud was more than one centimeter high from the ground. The bamboo was indeed growing at an astonishing speed, and it seemed that the sound of these bamboos breaking out of the ground could be heard in his ears.
"How is it? Old Cao." The uncle came to him and asked.
"Yes, these bamboos have all lived, and it seems that they are very adaptable to the environment here. They start to grow impatiently as soon as they are planted. It is estimated that in less than two months, a small bamboo forest will appear here."
"Ah! So fast?" Yuanyuan's father looked at his godfather in surprise and asked.
"Okay! I'll ask Wang Yong to get more bamboo roots now. In a short while, there will be a sea of bamboo in our village!" After Wang Dahai said that, he turned around and ran to the house to look for Wang Yong. (To be continued.)
