Chapter 206 Inspection, Planting, Sea of Flowers
Only after experiencing the horror of being dominated by the foodie Xiao Wu, will you understand how delicious it is to eat a meal quietly!
Zhao Yingzi now deeply understands this. She used to be indifferent to Li Chen.
But now, every time she sees Li Chen, she is grateful and full of stars in her eyes!
Li Chen was confused and had no idea what was wrong with this woman.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
In the afternoon, Zhao Hualiang returned to Zhao Dezhu's house and did not go anywhere.
Zhao Yingzi finally couldn't stand the soft and hard persuasion of Li Beiwu and Li Nanfei, and started to wander around the village with them.
After cleaning up the dishes in the house, Li Chen and his grandfather Li Chuanlong took tools and rushed to the fields.
Li Chen would not ask what his grandfather did, and the same goes for Li Chuanlong!
Ni Nanyi took away all the vegetables at home. Even though there were new vegetables planted at the back, Li Chuanlong still insisted on replanting the vegetable garden at the back.
Li Chen couldn't stop him. It was good to let his grandfather find something to do.
Li Chen came to the area designated for growing sorghum.
Sorghum is a kind of crop that likes warmth and light, and has the characteristics of high temperature resistance.
When planting sorghum, you still have to carefully select and dry the seeds. Even before sowing, you have to winnow or screen them.
Those with smaller grains, shriveled seeds, and sick seeds are not good.
Only large and full seeds are suitable for seeding.
Only in this way can this kind of sorghum for seeding be the best.
There are many people who grow sorghum in the village, and they are all veterans.
Li Chen doesn't need to worry about this!
Someone is busy in the sorghum field.
Now is the time for fine sowing. Full, even and strong seedlings are the best choice for planting.
Generally speaking, there are still rules to follow when sowing sorghum.
Late-maturing varieties are suitable for early planting, while early-maturing varieties are suitable for late planting!
Under normal conditions, sowing is generally done during the period from May to October.
Li Chen also watched with great interest, and would take the initiative to ask questions when he encountered something he didn't understand.
What "fertile land should be dense, thin land should be sparse", and what are the beggar seedlings, seedling protection, etc., these are all unknown to him.
But the villagers in the village all know.
When Li Chen came to ask, they also told him generously.
After sowing this kind of sorghum, it still needs to be fertilized.
Even if there is Li Chen's vitality water as a base, it still needs to be mainly phosphate fertilizer.
At the same time, compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer can also be used.
But these are all selected according to the planting situation.
And sorghum can have many uses after maturity.
These are all food.
As food, it should be larger, for example, cooking rice, or grinding into powder.
In this way, noodles, fish noodles, rolls, pancakes, and steamed cakes can be made.
Of course, in addition to practicality, it can make starch, sugar, wine and alcohol.
Li Chen planted a large area of sorghum here, and the main purpose is to make wine.
Li Chen slowly inspected the village. Now there is a busy scene. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in full swing.
In addition to sorghum, wheat is also the main crop planted by Li Chen.
The uses of wheat are very extensive, just like sorghum.
And these will be sold to the Pan family in the future.
After this batch of wheat and sorghum are mature, sow one or two generations, and select the best from the best. In the future, the Pan family can start their own experimental fields.
At least at this stage, they can't count on it.
Without vitality water, they can't play at all.
A large area of potatoes has been planted. This kind of weather is hot, and the land is also drying up quickly.
After sowing, in addition to regular watering, fertilizers must be applied.
Artificial fertilizers are naturally the best choice.
But the area of the village is too large, even if every household draws out the water from the manure pit, it is far from enough.
However, Li Chen gave a lot of money, and everyone had no objection.
The water in the manure pit still needs to be drawn out, but it is relatively troublesome.
Everyone was very busy in the contracted land, and they didn't even have time to talk.
The main reason is that everyone wants to make more money.
Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Cordyceps, Snow Lotus, Artificial Ginseng, etc., are planted quite well.
Li Chen carefully checked and still needs to be careful, after all, this is all money.
The last planned area is the sea of flowers.
The planting and cultivation of flowers requires careful consideration.
Li Chen has not taken further measures for a long time, mainly because he is afraid of encountering such things!
The fertility of the land, the surrounding environment, etc., all need to be surveyed.
In the end, the address of Li Chen's sea of flowers was determined.
Li Chen naturally wants to plant flowers that are famous and known all over the world.
Roses, tulips, lilies, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, hyacinths, lotus flowers, chrysanthemums, lavender, peonies, orchids, red spider lilies, strelitzias, sunflowers, and so on!
And Li Chen has already purchased seeds for these world-class flowers.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they will bloom after a few years of planting. Some flowers will bloom after a few years of planting.
Different flowers have different flowering periods.
But now, with the existence of greenhouse technology, many things are fine even if they are out of season.
As for Li Chen, there is even less to worry about, because he has Yuanqi Water.
Just like roses, it can be said that this is the flower that represents love and is the most well-known.
The origin is China, belonging to the order Rosaceae, the petals are obovate, double or semi-double.
The flowers are purple-red and white, and the fruiting period is relatively long, from August to September!
In addition to being beautiful and able to express love as a gift, roses also have many uses.
Its petals contain more than 300 chemical components.
Like alcohol, aldehyde, fatty acid, phenol, oil and fat containing fragrance, these are extremely precious.
Not to mention, eating rose products regularly, this thing can soften the liver and wake up the stomach, soothe the qi and activate the blood circulation, and beautify the skin.
Flowers originally have no meaning, but as more people give them meaning, they naturally have meaning.
What red roses represent passionate true love, yellow roses represent cherishing blessings and jealousy of broken love, and so on.
Li Chen didn't think so much, and temporarily planted a sea of flowers, in fact, it was simply to pave the way for the future.
Building an ecosystem is not an easy task.
When the sea of flowers appears, I will raise some bees and get some honey myself.
This is a happy life.
Of course, if there is a demand in the later stage, the use of this flower is also very large.
But at this stage, Li Chen is too lazy to think about it.
After arranging everything at home, it is time to send Li Nanfei and Li Beiwu back.
Li Chen has made preparations in his heart. Even if Li Beiwu really can't come back, he will not regret it.
