Chapter 73 - 73 71 Buying Land
?Chapter 73: Chapter 71 Buying Land Chapter 73: Chapter 71 Buying Land Ruo Xuan listened to the village chief’s words and explained in a childish voice, “I’ll buy the wasteland too, but the barren hills are even cheaper, buy one acre and get one free. Plus, I’m thinking of planting medicinal herbs and fruit trees on the barren hills.”
The wasteland in Shaxi County is mostly too low-lying, and many medicinal plants and fruits are not suitable to be grown in such damp soil, so it is better to buy the barren hills.
The village chief was surprised, “Planting medicinal herbs, fruit trees? Both are not easy to cultivate! If you can grow medicinal plants, that’s great, and they will be easy to sell. But fruit trees take many years to grow, and if you’re unlucky, the fruit they produce can be sour and no one will buy them, and the harvest can be unstable, with good and bad years. Often it’s a full tree of fruit one year, and sparse the next, not easy to grow!”
“I’ve seen someone plant sweet oranges, it took several years for the trees to grow up and bear fruit. But after a few years, they were hit by pests, and the entire orchard got sick and couldn’t be used! And that plot of land couldn’t be used to plant oranges again. Big loss! And they still had to pay the land tax every year, really not worth it.”
The village chief had lived for decades and had seen many who ended up losing a lot through fruit tree cultivation, so he was sincerely advising them.
Ruo Xuan knew that the village chief was kindly reminding her, and she smiled and said, “Thank you, village chief, I know! It’s okay, if we can’t grow medicinal herbs and fruit trees on the barren hills, we can still plant other things. Planting trees, raising chickens is also possible. But rest assured, our family will definitely be able to successfully grow fruit trees and medicinal plants! If the village chief wants to plant too, you can also buy some barren land and hills, and I’ll teach you how to plant them when the time comes.”
If a fruit tree is grown from a seed, of course it takes many years to bear fruit.
But Ruo Xuan knew how to cultivate saplings and how to make fruit trees grow faster and better, and at best, they could bear fruit within a year of planting.
Of course, which trees will bear sweet fruit and which will bear sour ones, the trees probably won’t know as well as Ruo Xuan does.
Ruo Xuan would definitely choose those trees that bore fruit that were big, sweet, and plentiful.
