Xianyuan Farm

The morning glow shone directly on the bed through the window gap of the wooden house. The sleepy Gu Hongyu was awakened by the bright sunshine.

The sunshine in August of the year is the most intense. Gu Hongyu couldn't fall asleep after waking up. He rolled over and walked out of the wooden house wearing shorts and a vest. He had been in the village for more than a month, and he was still very concerned about his image at this time. Not too particular about it.

Honghu Village is indeed remote. Generally speaking, no outsiders come here. Even the villagers in the village are either grazing or farming all day long. They don't go to the lake if they have nothing to do, leaving the beautiful lakes and mountains to be occupied by others. Forget.

But it's a little better now. At least Gu Hongyu has set up his home by the lake. He can just heat the unfinished meal yesterday on the gas stove for breakfast. A new day is about to begin.

There are many things to do today. The first is to inspect the growth of yesterday's vegetable seedlings in the vegetable greenhouse. The second is to inspect more land that has not yet been cultivated. Now that Gu Hongyu is not short of money, he plans to use all the contracted land in one go. Build a large scale as soon as possible.

Before they arrived at the vegetable greenhouse, they saw Uncle Aza directing the villagers to do things. Gu Hongyu greeted him from afar: "Uncle Aza, didn't the vegetable seedlings be planted yesterday? There should be nothing wrong today. Are you here?" What to do?”

"Haha, Xiao Gu is here. When you say this, I know that you have never planted crops. When planting vegetables, you must always observe their growth. They also need to be watered frequently. We were watering the vegetables just now!"

After saying this, he immediately said in amazement: "The vegetable watering equipment you installed is so easy to use. Just move your fingers and the water will pour out directly from the nozzle. In the past, you had to carry it shoulder to shoulder." It takes a lot of effort to carry it over on the back, and I don’t know how long it will take to water such a large area. This thing saves a lot of trouble, it really saves a lot of trouble..."

Gu Hongyu smiled. Isn't the purpose of installing sprinkler irrigation equipment just to save trouble? Looking at Uncle Aza's surprised look, more high-tech elements will be used in the future. Who knows how shocked he will be?

"Is there any problem with the vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse?" Gu Hongyu did not discuss the watering equipment with Uncle Aza.

Uncle Aza also had a bright face when Gu Hongyu asked: "The vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse are growing very well. It can be said that I have been growing vegetables for so many years, and I have never seen them grow without being affected the next day. , this time it’s an experience!”

Gu Hongyu smiled again. It seemed that the effect of the space spring water was too powerful, but he was still slightly surprised on the surface: "Oh, then let's go in and see how these vegetable seedlings are not affected!"

When Gu Hongyu walked into the nearest vegetable greenhouse, which had been watered by the villagers arranged by Uncle Aza, what caught Gu Hongyu's eyes were vegetable seedlings that were tall and upright, exuding vitality.

Just like what Uncle Aza said, when I looked at the greenhouse, there was basically no damage to the vegetable seedlings. Each plant was full of vitality, and some even sprouted new buds. The new leaves that could be distinguished at a glance had undergone spray irrigation. Afterwards, there were still crystal drops of water hanging on the tips of the leaves, making them look particularly delicate.

Uncle Aza, who was following behind him, was slightly stunned when he saw Gu Hongyu. He thought he was also shocked by the growth of vegetables, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, it certainly contains the word "high technology", now Looking at the growth of these vegetables, I understand everything. People can’t still hold on to the old almanac!”

Gu Hongyu was secretly happy. Now he didn't need to waste time explaining the strange growth of the vegetables. Uncle Aza automatically figured out that the reason why the vegetables grew like this was because of high technology. The remaining villagers were probably the same as Uncle Aza. Same idea.

I checked several vegetable greenhouses and found that there were no problems with the vegetable seedlings inside.

When Gu Hongyu was about to go back after finishing his inspection, Uncle Aza suddenly said: "Xiao Gu, these vegetable seedlings are growing so well, do we have to prepare in advance?"

"Uncle, you are saying that some vegetables in the greenhouse need to be tied up when they grow to a certain extent. Tomatoes, beans and cucumbers all require these processes. Now there is a special frame like this on the roof of the greenhouse. I only need to buy it. There will be no problem if we bring back some ropes for tying the vines." It's not like Gu Hongyu has never been exposed to farm work. His grandmother's family is in the countryside, and she often went to the countryside when she was a child.

Uncle Aza nodded: "Well, that's all these things. Since you have thought of it, it will save you from being in a hurry. But there is one more thing and that is fertilizing. We did not fertilize when we turned the soil in the early stage. Now the vegetable seedlings are planted. I still haven’t seen you bring fertilizer back. The vegetable seedlings are growing so well. You need to fertilize more quickly. Don’t affect the vegetable harvest after the fertilization period!”

Gu Hongyu was a little ashamed. Uncle Aza cared about these vegetables and thought about many more problems than he did. Gu Hongyu relied on the advantage of space spring water to ignore the most basic growth needs of crops. Although these vegetables did not need to be fertilized, they still grew very well. Well, even better than ordinary vegetables, but Gu Hongyu didn’t want to be too offbeat.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle Aza, these are vegetable seedlings cultivated by high technology. We don't need to worry about its nutrition in the early stage. We will wait until all the vegetable seedlings have grown for about a week, that is, after the vegetable seedlings have completely survived and solidified their roots. It’s not too late to fertilize!”

"Oh, so what's going on? You can just make the calculation in your heart." Uncle Aza didn't know anything about high-tech stuff, so he could only listen to Gu Hongyu's nonsense.

However, Gu Hongyu didn't want to really use chemical fertilizers, so he immediately asked Uncle Azha: "Uncle, do we have large biogas digesters, oil mills or farms here?"

"Does this have anything to do with growing vegetables?" Uncle Azha was puzzled.

Gu Hongyu said: "Didn't I just say that these vegetables will be high-quality vegetables after they are grown, so we can't use chemical fertilizers bought on the street. It's best to use organic fertilizers, and the fermented materials cleaned out of the biogas digester, the oil residues from the oil mill, and the feces cleaned out of the farm are all good organic fertilizers."

Uncle Azha thought for a while and said: "We don't have a biogas digester here, but there is an oil mill in the town. If it's a farm, there are farms everywhere. Although our village is not a farm, each household raises livestock, and there will be a lot of cattle and sheep feces cleaned out."

Gu Hongyu slapped his head and was happy, right! Why go far away? It would be a good idea to collect the feces of livestock in the village and ferment them uniformly!

"Uncle, then you can help inform the villagers and tell them that I will purchase the manure produced by the livestock in the whole village. The price will be based on the market. I will also hire villagers to help me collect these organic fertilizers and compost them together." Gu Hongyu made a decision.

However, Uncle Azha hesitated and turned around and asked: "Xiao Gu, this animal manure is everywhere in the village. We used to worry about this matter. I just informed the villagers that you need manure. They don't know how happy they are. Why do you need to pay for it?"

Gu Hongyu waved his hands: "No, no, no, Uncle Azha, it was not needed before, so it was not valuable. Now there is a demand relationship, and the villagers have to collect it for many years. This still requires a lot of time and energy. It is necessary for us to pay them. I will leave the recruitment and notification to you. Just do it according to my instructions!"

Using manure to decompose and ferment is pure farmyard manure. The manure that everyone disliked has become an indispensable treasure for organic vegetables after Gu Hongyu did this!
