233. Eva's Gift (2/5)

Eva gave him the sapling and introduced: "This is a sapling of almond eucalyptus. Well, it is not a very precious tree, but it is very suitable for growing up with a town because it has a longer lifespan."

After knowing the name, Wang Bo learned about the identity of the tree. Some time ago, when he planned to plant trees on both sides of the highway, he had seen information about most trees suitable for New Zealand to grow.

Eucalyptus is a giant tree with a long lifespan. It is native to the grasslands of Australia and can usually grow more than 100 meters. The tallest tree king is 156 meters tall, which is 14 meters taller than the tallest giant serry General Sherman tree in the Americas, which is equivalent to the height of 50 floors!

This tree was called Tutu Thamu by Maori, and it can be translated as "the tallest tower in the tree world."

In addition to its amazing height, it also has a strange place, which is the extremely tall almond eucalyptus, with almost no shadow under the tree. This is because its leaves are slender and curved, and are facing upward, and the leaves are parallel to the direction of sunlight projection, just like hanging on a branch. The sunlight can pour out from the gaps of the leaves and will not block the light.

Wang Bo took the sapling and said happily: "Thank you very much for your kindness. Eva, you are so considerate. I will plant this tree at the intersection of Highway 8 and enter the town. I believe it will become a landmark tree in the future."

Almond Eucalyptus grows very fast. Although it is just such an inconspicuous small tree now, as long as the living environment is suitable, it can grow into a big tree more than ten meters tall within four or five years, and then start a faster journey of growth against nature.

Eva smiled and said, "I thought you would plant it in the wetlands by the lake. It can drive away mosquitoes, you know?"

Wang Bo did know that when he learned about Almond Eucalyptus, the first introduction he saw was that the roots of this tree were as long as 30 meters long, the roots were deep and wide, and the water absorption was particularly large, and it was nicknamed "** water pump".

What Eva said is not right. It cannot drive away mosquitoes, but can stop mosquitoes from growing.

Most mosquitoes lay eggs in swamp wetlands and stagnant ponds filled with sewage. Almond eucalyptus has strong water absorption ability. Planted in this environment can absorb a large amount of surrounding water. In this way, there will be no sewage and no mosquitoes.

It absorbs a lot of water and evaporates a lot of water. It is said that this tree can evaporate 175 tons of water every year after adulthood, which is very amazing.

When Wang Bo wanted to plant almond eucalyptus, he wanted to plant a giant jungle, which could beautify the environment and generate economic benefits.

You should know that the wood of almond eucalyptus is an excellent material for making boats, cars and electric poles. The one who sets up wires in the Sunset Town now is not cement poles, but coke-formed almond eucalyptus trunks.

In addition, valuable tanning materials or gums can be extracted from the trees of this tree. Its leaves have a special fragrance and can be used to refine eucalyptus oil. One of the main raw materials for eucalyptus sugar is eucalyptus oil, which has the effect of cooling and relieving cough.

But after learning more, I learned that almond eucalyptus is not suitable for large-scale planting around farms because its water absorption capacity is too strong, which will cause serious damage to groundwater resources and will also grab water from crops and forage.

However, it is still okay to plant a small amount. If planted at the entrance of the town’s road, it would be more appropriate. Once it grows to more than 100 meters, it can indeed become a landmark plant in Sunset Town.

After getting the almond eucalyptus, Wang Bo stopped working and went to find Dabengzhaimin to borrow a military shovel, and happily took Eva and Daier to plant trees.

Benjamin's son, the soldier Gerald, raised two pit bulls. The two little guys looked fierce and attacked when they saw Lao Wang entering the door.

As a result, they cried for a while, and the stern boy rushed over after hearing the news. It didn't have to open his mouth, but just glared at the two pit bulls, and the latter immediately closed his mouth very cowardly.

Pitbulls are specially used as fighting dogs. They are very ferocious dog breeds. Such dogs are not allowed in cities in New Zealand. However, facing several heavyweight men who are bigger, the two guys have no temper at all.

They were abused by the strong men. The strong men followed Lao Wang to work. They walked around the town without any trouble. The dogs raised by the townsmen were cleaned up by them.

Wang Bo chose the place where he planted trees at the east entrance to the town on Highway 8, which is the direction from Aocheng to enter the town.

It is more than 30 kilometers away from the town center, surrounded by vast and flat grasslands. It is even more shocking to raise a tree more than 100 meters high on the flat ground.

Planting trees, a fat rabbit ran out of the bushes. The strong man turned around and chased after him, ran a few steps before jumping up, opened his mouth to catch the rabbit, and then ran back happily in his mouth.

Eva patted its head and smiled, "Wow, the boy is such a capable child."

Wang Bo invited Eva and Deer to go to the dessert room to have coffee and desserts. Harris Born, the former owner of m151e2, came to the town some time ago and cooperated with a friend to rent a small building. The first floor is a dessert shop and the second floor is a coffee house.

Seeing this, Eva said, "If you want some desserts, there is no need to spend money here. Go to my house. I think the desserts I made are pretty good."

After hearing this, the little loli kept nodding: "Yeah, yeah, my sister's cooking is very, very, very not delicious, but her dessert is very, very, very good!"

Wang Bo has no desire for the taste of desserts. He doesn't eat snacks very much. Desserts are a kind of meal for New Zealanders, but for him, they are snacks.

However, it felt good to be a guest at Eva's new residence, so he happily agreed.

Harris, who was entertaining customers, saw them and waved to him and asked, "Master, are you going to try my skills? I heard that you have a good cooking skills, but you will definitely not be able to make a dessert like me."

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Of course, I admit this, but I'm not here to eat. Uh, I just drove by here to say hello to you, bye!"

The jeep left in a flash, and Harris was complacent behind him: He seemed to have a status in the town, and the mayor came to say hello to him.

Eva lived in the residential area of ​​the town, which was also a building block house. It was located at the east end of the first row, and was far away from China, and it was quiet and peaceful.

When passing by the convenience store, Wang Bo asked if he wanted to buy some seasonings. Eva shook her head and said that she often made desserts, so the utensils and ingredients at home were enough.

After getting off the car, Eva asked Wang Bo to sit in the living room and watch TV, while she went to the kitchen and began to prepare for dessert.
