The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 20 I'll cut it myself

But this guy was so good that he chopped down more than a dozen of his trees as soon as he came to his Chu Mansion. If he hadn't been drinking with Jiang Fan, he would have probably lost his temper on the spot.

Jiang Fan found Chu Chengrui’s constipated look a little funny. This guy knew that he should be grateful for what he had received.

This proves that although this guy is black-bellied, he still has his own principles and bottom line when doing things.

Chu Yan'er and Chu Chengxiong couldn't help but look up to Jiang Fangao in their hearts. This guy is really brave and keeps talking about things that are not relevant.

Just when they thought Jiang Fan would annoy Chu Chengrui and the two would fight directly, they heard Jiang Fan's tone change and said, "Sixth Brother, don't you think there is something wrong with the bamboo in your yard?"

His words made everyone stunned. Old... Old Six! How dare you call me that? And why did you bring up the bamboo again? Did you think Chu Chengrui wasn't stimulated enough?

Chu Chengxiong tried his best to wink at Jiang Fan, telling him not to commit suicide. Now that there was good wine, he could use it to shut Chu Chengrui up, and maybe he would let the matter go.

But you keep exposing Lao Liu's scars. Aren't you just bored? Chu Yan'er also felt that Jiang Fan might not think the matter was serious enough.

But suddenly, she realized that Jiang Fan would never speak without a purpose, and he must have his reasons for saying so.

Moreover, the name "Old Six" sounded so smooth that Chu Yan'er couldn't help but want to call out.

Chu Chengrui's eyelids twitched and he really wanted to cover Jiang Fan's mouth. Not only did he expose his scars, but this guy even called him Lao Liu!

It is true that he is the sixth child, but this guy can only call him the sixth child.

He was about to scold, but Jiang Fan interrupted him.

"Do you know why the bamboo in your yard has problems? It grows vigorously in some places, but in other places, the bamboo begins to die."

Chu Chengxiong was stunned when he heard this. He was also confused in his heart. Yes, why are the bamboos in his yard flourishing in some places, but starting to die in others?

Seeing his puzzled look, Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Do you think it's because the soil quality is poor and there's not enough fertilizer?"

Chu Chengrui nodded instinctively when he heard this. Jiang Fan's guidance made him unconsciously fall into the rhythm.

There's no way, he really loves bamboo and likes to grow bamboo.

When he heard about this topic, he couldn't help but feel curious. His biggest wish was to know how to grow the bamboo in his yard well.

"Wrong... The problem with the bamboo's growth is not due to the soil or fertilizer. You should have seen the bamboos in the wild, right? Why do they grow so well without fertilizer? The soil in your yard is probably not as good as the one in your yard."

Jiang Fan's words immediately aroused the interest of the three siblings. Although it was just an ordinary question about the growth of bamboo, it seemed to have become a profound subject when Jiang Fan spoke.

Even Chu Yan'er couldn't help laughing. How could she let Jiang Fan lead her into the rhythm?

"The bamboo in your yard is not growing well because the planting density is too high!" Jiang Fan looked at the three curious people and said lightly.

"Planting density? What does this mean?" Chu Chengrui heard this name for the first time and didn't understand what it meant.

Jiang Fan explained with a smile: "The so-called planting density refers to the distance between bamboos. In order to grow more bamboos, you planted them very densely in many places. Some bamboos like high-density planting methods, but some bamboos don't like it."

"To put it simply, the nutrients in one zhang of land can only support five bamboos, but you planted ten. The nutrients of the five bamboos are ten times that of the other bamboos. What will be the final result? Have you ever thought about it?"

"If you don't understand, let me explain it to you in a simpler way. A family has food rations for five people every day, but ten people eat. The result is that no one is full. If this continues for a long time, what do you think will be the final result? Either someone will starve to death, or everyone will starve to death."

"Now, do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Fan poured a glass of wine for Chu Chengrui and said lightly.

Chu Chengrui held the wine glass and stared at Jiang Fan blankly, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

He felt that he was tricked by Jiang Fan, but he couldn't find any evidence. Moreover, Jiang Fan's words made him feel that they made a lot of sense.

What Jiang Fan said was true. He had learned these things in his hometown in the countryside in his previous life. Why did he go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots? Was it really for eating?

One of the reasons is that the bamboo forest cannot be too dense, so that the bamboo can grow more vigorously.

Of course, it is difficult for bamboo forests in the wild to wither. As long as the ecology is not destroyed, bamboo will still grow well. Nature can repair itself.

But the bamboo forest planted by Chu Chengrui is different. If it is not properly maintained, it will gradually die.

. Bamboo is sick, but it is contagious.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that if bamboos don't grow well and get sick, they will get an infectious disease just like humans. If you don't get rid of the disease, all the bamboos will die in the end."

Jiang Fan dealt a fatal blow to Chu Chengrui. Chu Chengrui tightened his grip and the cup shattered instantly. He didn't care about anything else and stood up and walked out.

Those bamboos were his treasures, and when he heard that they were all going to die, he could no longer sit still. He no longer cared about his firm decision not to cut down the bamboos.

"Where are you going..." Jiang Fan said with a smile.

Chu Chengxiong and Chu Yan'er, who were dumbfounded by what they heard, came to their senses. The two siblings couldn't help but give Jiang Fan a blank look. Aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer?

Chu Chengrui came to his senses after hearing this, looked at Jiang Fan, and said with gritted teeth: "I... go cut bamboo!"

Although he had just made a bet with Jiang Fan that he could resist cutting the bamboo in order to win, he had no other hobbies except growing bamboo.

Even though he knew that Jiang Fan had tricked him, he couldn't sit still when he thought that all his bamboos might die.

He couldn't abandon a yard of bamboo just to prevent Jiang Fan from winning. Wasn't it just to be Jiang Fan's bodyguard for a year? In order to save the bamboo, he would do it!

"Oh...Is that so? Then go ahead. By the way, the spacing between bamboos is generally about ten feet. There are no big requirements for the spacing between purple bamboos, but they should not be too dense. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want!"

Jiang Fan smiled and waved to Chu Chengrui, and then he added another sentence.

"After you've cut the chop, remember to come back for a drink and we'll talk about the guarding!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Chengrui's eyelids twitched and his breathing became heavier. He felt very unhappy about being tricked but unable to resist.

It was like hitting someone with a club. He experienced the feeling of powerlessness of knowing clearly that it was he who did it but being unable to do anything about it.

"Don't worry, I, Chu Chengrui, am the tiger of the Chu family, and my words will certainly count..." Chu Chengrui exhaled, turned around and walked out of the yard.
