Listening to Xu Weiguo's talk, the old man's face gradually solidified, and then he became more and more shocked!

"The coffee tree was originally a plant in the tropical rainforest. During the phylogeny, it developed habits that require quiet wind, coolness, shade or semi-shade and a humid environment. Coffee arabica is most suitable for growing at an altitude of 800 to 1800.

m of mountainous terrain. Coffee arabica has a well-developed root system and a shallow distribution of absorptive roots. It requires loose, fertile, well-drained soil, and selects a slope with a slope of less than 250 degrees. The temperature requirements vary with the cultivated varieties. Small-grained coffee is more cold-resistant and likes

A warm and cool climate requires an annual average temperature of 19 to 22 degrees Celsius, a minimum monthly average temperature of more than 11.5 degrees Celsius, and an absolute minimum temperature of more than 4 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall is 1250 degrees Celsius.

mm or more, evenly distributed. Especially during the flowering period and young fruit development period, a certain amount of rainfall is most suitable for the growth and development of coffee."

"Coffee arabica is not tolerant to strong light and needs appropriate shade. If the light is too strong, the growth will be inhibited. If coupled with insufficient water and fertilizer, premature aging and even death will occur. Excessive shade will lead to leggy branches and leaves, few flowers and fruits, and reduced yield."

"Uncle, your coffee tree is exposed to too much sunlight, so it doesn't grow well!"

"Hmph! How dare you say that I am not raising coffee trees well?" The old man was a little reluctant, so he said, "Then you can tell me how to plant coffee trees?"

With Xu Weiguo's current intelligence, it was naturally not a problem for him, so he said: "The first is the soil. To plant coffee trees, the soil should be loose, high in nutrients, and good in drainage. This kind of soil is very suitable for cultivating coffee trees.

The soil you are using is relatively hard and obviously not suitable!"

The old man's mouth twitched, "What else?"

Xu Weiguo: "The second is water: the appropriate amount of water in the soil can make it grow vigorously, but the water should not be too much or too little. Generally, it is enough to keep the soil layer moist, but you have obviously watered it thoroughly."

The old man was unconvinced and said: "What if I don't water the tree thoroughly and it dries up to death?"

Xu Weiguo smiled slightly and did not refute, but continued: "The third is nutrients. When fertilizing, it is often made by mixing human feces and clean water, and then sprinkled on the soil of the coffee trees. This can promote the growth of the roots and leaves of the coffee trees.

Absorption, I think you are using normal fertilizer."

Old man: "...."

"The last point is light. Coffee trees don't like strong light. They should be properly shaded and given soft light. Too strong light will cause it to stop growing and even lead to premature aging."

It’s okay, old man! I admit that this coffee tree is not well maintained. Since you are so powerful, tell me what you can do to save him now!”

"Uncle, don't worry, I was just about to say it!" Xu Weiguo smiled slightly and said: "The first is pruning. During the growth period of the coffee tree, many small branches and buds will grow, and there will also be diseases and dry branches and leaves. At this time,

It needs to be trimmed off to avoid

Infect other healthy plants, followed by propagation: select strong seedlings and plant them in soil with sufficient nutrients. Then spray some water to moisten the soil, so that they can survive. Transplanted seedlings are easy to survive.

Of!"

"Using the above two methods, not only can the original coffee trees grow well, but also the seedlings can be cultivated."

"In addition, coffee trees are prone to leaf rust. This disease is very easy to contract in summer, when the dog days of summer are humid and muggy. The way to prevent it is to first prune off branches that have developed leaf rust, and then use appropriate

Spray the insecticide, then water and fertilize it more to allow it to absorb sufficient nutrients, and the leaf rust will disappear in about a week."

"The coffee tree now suffers from coffee beetles. This kind of pest is difficult to deal with completely. Usually in winter, that is, at this time, we need to remove the insect stems and then collectively burn the larvae or large insects.

If you remove it, the effect of eliminating coffee beetles will be much stronger."

Although the old man was very unconvinced, he carefully remembered everything Xu Weiguo said, "If there is anything else, tell me everything!"

Xu Weiguo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, it really does exist!"

"The ripening time of coffee tree fruits is from November to February of the next year. These three months are the maturity period of coffee tree fruits. The fruits should be picked in batches and then stored in a sealed environment.

Let the coffee trees get more rain. When the rainfall is sufficient, it will be more suitable for the growth of coffee trees."

"I haven't thought of anything else yet. If I do, I'll tell you!"

"I don't know if my answer can satisfy you, prove my fate with this coffee tree!"

The old man was silent for a while, and finally nodded, and said rather harshly: "Although what you said is so-so, it's still pretty good. At least it's better than the young people I met. Some young people come to my yard, even this one."

I can’t even recognize the coffee tree!”

Seeing the old man nodding, Xu Weiguo's face lit up, so he prepared to move the coffee tree again.

But the old man stopped him again, "Boy, what are you doing?!"

Xu Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uncle, you just said it yourself. If I can prove my fate with this coffee tree, you will give this coffee tree to me. But don't worry, I am not the kind of person who likes to take advantage."

If you sell me this coffee tree, I will pay you according to the price! It will definitely be less than your share!"

To be honest, even if this old man gave him this coffee tree, he would still give him money.

What does it mean not to take advantage of the masses?!

Discipline is strict now! He took the old man's tree, and if he was reported later, it would be a shame.

Hearing this, the old man was stunned, and seemed to have remembered the big words he just said, "Yes, I have said this, but whether you have a fate with this coffee tree or not is not your decision.

The coffee tree has the final say, but I have the final say!"

"I haven't agreed yet, so you move out..."

The old man looked Xu Weiguo up and down. At this time, Xu Weiguo was wearing a Chinese tunic suit for work. He snorted coldly, "You work in a certain unit! Believe it or not, I will go to your unit to complain about you, so that you can't eat and walk around!"<

Xu Weiguo:...

I was immediately speechless.

This old man is so difficult to deal with!

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was an old man, Xu Weiguo would have really wanted to force it!

But after thinking about it, Xu Weiguo calmed down. He couldn't bear to let the child trap the wolf. There were no coffee tree species in the entire market. He finally found a living coffee tree here. He must find a way to get it!

In this way, you can plant it directly into the mysterious farm, and maybe you can solve the coffee bean problem before tomorrow.

So Xu Weiguo smiled and nodded, "Uncle, you are right, then what else do you think I should do to prove that I am destined to this coffee tree?"

Seeing Xu Weiguo surrender, the old man also showed a smile on his face, "Actually, you have just proved your fate with this coffee tree, but I am the owner of this coffee tree after all. If you want this coffee tree, just make sure you and

The fate of this coffee tree is not enough, you have to convince me!"

Xu Weiguo:...

Feelings, you are like an infinite matryoshka doll with me!

If I convince you and you call your son, daughter, and wife to let me convince you, then I...

As if he also sensed Xu Weiguo's scruples, the old man smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you can satisfy me, I will give this coffee tree directly to you, and you can come to me for any tree species, flowers or plants you want in the future!"
p>

"I may not have anything else, but these flowers, plants and trees, if I consider them second in Sijiu City, no one would dare to consider them first!"

Seeing that the old man didn't look like he was lying, Xu Weiguo nodded slowly, "Okay, uncle, tell me what I need to do to satisfy you!"

"Hey, it's easy!"

"Let me ask you, are you familiar with flowers, plants and trees?"

The old man asked expectantly.

"I can't say we know each other very well, but I know something about it," Xu Weiguo said calmly.

"That's fine, you come with me!" After saying that, the old man walked deeper into the yard with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Xu Weiguo could only step forward.

After passing through a partition, the old man and Xu Weiguo came to a larger yard, and there were obviously many more flowers, plants and trees in this yard!

The most eye-catching one is a giant tree thirty meters high, so tall and majestic!

The old man came straight to the tree and stroked it with his hands, his eyes full of emotion, "Boy, you should know what kind of tree this is, right?"

Xu Weiguo nodded, "This is an authentic red sandalwood tree!"

The old man nodded, "Tell me."

"Rosewood, tree, generally 15-25 meters high, with gray and smooth bark. Pinnately compound leaves 15-30 cm long; stipules fall early; leaflets 3-5 pairs, oval, apex acuminate, base rounded,

Both sides are hairless, the veins are slender. The panicles are terminal or axillary, with many flowers, covered with brown pubescence; the pedicel is 7-10 mm long, with 2 linear, easy-to-fall off small parcels at the top; the calyx is bell-shaped.

, slightly curved, about 5 mm long, calyx teeth broadly triangular, rounded at the apex, covered with brown silk hairs; corolla yellow, petals with long stalks, wavy edges, flag petals 10-13 mm wide; ovary with short stalks, densely covered

Pubescent. The pods are round, flat, oblique, about 5 cm wide, slightly hairy and reticulated to the seed part, with 2 cm wide wings around them, and 1-2 seeds. Flowering period is spring."

"Grown in sparse forests on slopes or cultivated in gardens. The wood is hard and dense, with red heartwood. It is an excellent material for construction, musical instruments and furniture; the resin and wood are used medicinally."

"Red sandalwood was first discovered in the tropical forests and islands of India. Chinese people love red sandalwood. Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it has been a good furniture material for chariot shafts and palaces. It is the top furniture material in the world. Nara Shokain in Japan preserves the artifacts of emperors of all dynasties.

There are several ebony utensils given to the emperor in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, China began to use ebony and red sandalwood to make furniture and crafts. The Tang Dynasty was a period when Chinese furniture matured, and it was a major leap in the history of furniture development."<

"Chinese furniture art has a long history of development. During its long development process, it has formed the unique charm of Chinese furniture characterized by "artful materials and skillful workmanship". "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools."

"Traditional Chinese furniture is a product of the combination of skilled craftsmen's ingenuity and beautiful materials. Among traditional Chinese furniture, red sandalwood furniture can be said to be a very distinctive type of furniture."
