My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 735

Let’s not consider the fish for now and just talk about growing vegetables, which is much easier.

Fresh out-of-season vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers are quite popular in winter and are easier to sell.

When it comes to growing vegetables, Chen Ling is also quite good at it.

In the past two years, most of the greenhouses they built here were used to grow mushrooms.

This is much simpler than growing vegetables and the cost is extremely low. It can be said that it costs basically no money.

It only costs a little money for the strains.

The remaining mushroom bags are made from corn cobs, rice husks, cotton seed husks, etc.

After the fermentation, you can grow mushrooms.

A greenhouse of the size of Wang Lixian’s can be easily completed by his family without any effort.

In the first year, I asked Chen Ling and others for help.

Later, after becoming proficient, the whole family can do it. It’s just packing mushroom bags, which is a job even a kid can do.

What's more, their daughter and son-in-law are all joining the battle.

It doesn’t require much manpower and material resources, and it sells out quickly…

You can send them to the county morning market and sell them immediately without having to worry about leaving them on the table.

It’s different when growing other vegetables.

Watering, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, pest control...

There are so many things to worry about.

Although the insect pests are light in winter, the greenhouse is warmer and the diseases are still there.

Needless to say, the pricing of such greenhouse vegetables will definitely be higher.

Compared to mushrooms, when the time comes to sell vegetables, the prices are so high that they cannot be sold in a small county.

The quantity is too small. The local area is not a vegetable base, there are few people growing vegetables in greenhouses in winter, and no one comes specifically to harvest them.

Of course.

There is a freight station with little sheep.

Neither Chen Ling nor Wang Lixian are afraid of this.

As for vegetables, Chen Ling didn’t think much about it and continued to sell the same three vegetables he had when he first started selling.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, leeks.

In addition, plant some watermelons. Greenhouse watermelons are also popular in winter.

Mushrooms, on the other hand, conflict with vegetables.

The point of conflict is that vegetables need light and they need sunshine on sunny days. The stronger the sunshine, the better the vegetables grow.

The mushrooms come the other way around.

Mushrooms cannot be exposed to too strong light. Although they need to be dried in a shed on sunny days, after drying in the shed, you should quickly go in with a sprayer and spray the mushrooms.

the reason is simple.

After the heat is generated in the drying shed, the environment must also be humid enough so that the mushrooms can grow as fast as possible.

This is why Wang Lixian divided vegetables and mushrooms into two greenhouses.

Chen Ling also built two groves, one large and one small. The smaller one can be used to grow mushrooms.

The larger one occupies a large area. After planting the vegetables, ditches are dug to raise fish, and the place is also relatively spacious.

"Master, Master, we are here to pick up eggs for you."

When Wang Lishan and his friends were surrounding Chen Ling and yelling at him, two groups of people including Old Wu came in carrying baskets.

The leader, Mr. Wu, shouted "Master" loudly.

This "master" is naturally no other than Chen Ling.

Chen Ling turned around and said helplessly, "Mr. Wu, can we stop making trouble? It's just a drinking game, how can we take it seriously? Besides, my medical theories are half-baked. You won't learn anything from me, and you won't be able to keep healthy."

  Old Wu said, "I have lived to such an old age, I have seen all kinds of people, I am very good at judging people, how can I not know whether you have the real talent, Master?

Am I not just a little older? Ancient people said that there is no order of succession in learning the truth, and the one who is more knowledgeable is the teacher. "

Chen Ling was suddenly speechless.

Ultimately, this matter is still his father-in-law's fault.

I have nothing to do, so why talk nonsense to them?

To be honest, the more bizarre some of the traditional Chinese medicine theories seem, the more they are sometimes true.

The more of this kind of thing happened, the more clearly Chen Ling remembered it. It could be said that he had a photographic memory and didn't even need to take notes.

So when this group of people followed He Jiawen to ask Chen Ling for advice.

Chen Ling briefly mentioned a few more.

It is a level higher than He Jiawen's so-called "Five Elements Theory".

Added 'Yin and Yang', for example 'Yin has substance, Yang has no form'.

That is to say, what you can see on your body, such as skin, flesh and hair, are all "yin", and what you cannot see is called "yang".

Based on this theory, Yin and Yang also flow into each other and are relative.

For example, sometimes, drinking too much water can cause symptoms of "getting angry".

For example, if you have a fever, no matter what the reason, if you eat meat the next day, the fever symptoms will definitely be prolonged.

Many diseases require eating less and drinking less water.

Or just have simple meals.

To people who don't understand this, it's completely nonsense.

But people like Mr. Wu are not ordinary people. They have nothing to do after retirement and have a need to maintain their health. Some of them have personally experienced the symptoms that Chen Ling described.

then……

In addition to several people being amazed, Chen Ling also gained another old fan.

I wanted to worship him as my teacher on the spot.

"Fugui, what are you afraid of? Mr. Wu is well-educated, and he is not a stupid student... You can ask Uncle Sangui, when they are carpenters, they accept old apprentices. They tolerate being beaten and scolded, and sometimes these old apprentices learn things faster than young apprentices..."

Wang Lishan and others watched with laughter, thinking it was very interesting and proud.

"Yes, yes, yes. I learn things quickly. Master, if there is any book you want to read that is not available in the mainland, I will find it for you when I go back. If you are lacking research materials for your thesis, I will also find them for you.

I will come to visit you during every festival in the future.

I have as much as the young disciples have."

Mr. Wu quickly raised his hand, his face full of anxiety, and his movements were just like those of an elementary school student.

The group of people behind him were not in the mood for laughter either.

On the contrary, some people are envious. For example, Xu Yingguang, who is involved in a society, is both envious and conflicted.

I felt regretful in my heart. Why did I only say sworn brotherhood when we were drinking that day, but not apprenticeship?

Every one of them is a fool.

Even a fool wouldn't have gotten to this point today.

They have also witnessed the magical effects of some prescriptions in the past few days.

Those prescriptions are more like dietary supplements than prescriptions.

For example, what helps He Jiawen and others keep their bodies healthy is a simple breakfast of egg tea.

Beat the eggs into a bowl, add salt, stir well, then pour boiling water over it and add a few drops of sesame oil.

Sounds simple...

There is something complicated in the simplicity.

Simple egg tea is just eggs cooked in boiling water, which can guide the fire downward and relieve it.

But after adding salt and sesame oil, it becomes different.

Salty enters the kidneys, and aromatic flavor invigorates the spleen.

Drinking a bowl of this egg tea in the morning is an excellent way to awaken your internal organs and nourish your body.

Of course.

It is not enough to just drink the egg tea, it also needs to be digested and transformed to achieve the greatest effect.

That is to say, after drinking egg tea, it needs to be converted into things the body needs.

When you need to work, work; when you need to stroll, stroll; anyway, you can't just lie down and rest.

He Jiawen and his friends also stumbled upon it by accident.

When they first came here to photograph the red-crowned cranes, they had to get up early to camp on the mountain. They didn't want to eat after getting up early, and they didn't have time to make breakfast.

The old lady in the village asked them to boil a pot of water and make some eggs to drink.

This is said to be able to resist hunger.

He Jiawen and his friends would have one bowl of this every morning, with three or four local eggs in each person’s bowl. After drinking, they would head up the mountain.

This guy climbs up and down every day, so the blood and energy in his body must be circulated.

This delicious egg tea was fully absorbed by them.

The more you take care of your body, the better it will be.

After hearing about it, Mr. Wu and his colleagues tried it for three days in a row.

And according to He Jiawen's suggestion, ask them to beat a few more eggs. Three or four are too few. If that doesn't work, then five, six, seven or eight will be fine.

This way you can make up for it quickly.

They did so.

After drinking every day, he would take a stroll, help Chen Ling with some small chores, or go to the farm to pick up eggs, or go for a walk in the mountains with He Jiawen and others.

In short, there is also a lot of exercise.

Then, I slept well that night, felt full of energy the next day, and woke up early on the third day. I felt refreshed and full of energy.

In the past, I would feel unsteady on my feet every day and my whole body would ache.

Nothing happened now.

So it would be strange if Xu Yingguang didn't have any thoughts in his mind after seeing the real results.

Didn’t you see that Old Wu was determined to acknowledge Chen Ling as his master?

It's just that Xu Yingguang has been in the gang for too long and cares too much about his reputation, so there are some things he can't say when they come to his lips.

He grunted several times, his face turned red, but he just couldn't say it.

He is also a veteran in the underworld.

If people knew that he had a 20-year-old mainlander as his master, how would they view him?

If his words are not effective, his children will have no chance of survival in the future.

Fortunately, everyone was listening to Mr. Wu’s speech and no one noticed him.

Chen Ling was also amused by what Old Wu said, and brought stools to everyone: "Everyone, sit down first. I just finished moving the bedroom, and there are still a bunch of doll toys that haven't been moved up yet."

Then he said to Master Wu: "Master Wu, I have a female apprentice who wants to learn cooking from me. You should recognize me as your master. That girl has a younger sister above her."

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Wu heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "Sure, no problem for me. I also want to learn cooking from Master when the time comes."

"Okay, since you don't mind, I certainly don't mind either." Chen Ling nodded with a smile.

"Hey, Master, don't talk like that. Just call me Shizhong."

Mr. Wu’s full name is Wu Shizhong.

"No, no, you're old, let's just talk about our own things. You call me Master, and I'll call you Uncle." Chen Ling waved his hand.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

"Xiao Chen, I want to ask you a question. Why do your chickens lay such big eggs?"

Zheng Shaoqiu suddenly asked a question: "I heard from the villagers that the smaller the eggs, the better, and small eggs are more nutritious than large eggs."

Chen Ling smiled at him and said, "This is because the chicken breeds are different and the breeding methods are also different.

People in the countryside often say that fat chickens don’t lay eggs. But look at the chickens I raise, each one is so fat.

She lays eggs so diligently."

When they heard that the chicken breeds and breeding methods were different, everyone stopped asking questions, thinking that this must be someone's secret recipe.

  Then I became curious, why do fat chickens not lay eggs?

Isn't it true that the fatter the better?

"No, if a chicken is fat, it will affect fertility just like if a person is too fat. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, being too fat will cause blockage in the spleen and stomach. To use the Five Elements Theory that you are interested in recently, the spleen belongs to the earth. If the spleen is too earthy, it will excessively affect the kidney water, because earth controls water.

If the reproductive function of the kidneys is affected, it will naturally affect the production of sperm and eggs.

on the other hand.

When the spleen is earthy, it will attack the liver wood, causing stagnation of liver qi. It will also affect women's menstruation and men's penis hardness and whether they can stand up normally.

There is a slang saying that goes, whether or not you have bullets is a matter of the kidneys, and whether or not you can fire is a matter of the liver...

You see, if people are fat, they will be affected, let alone chickens.”

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he was about to continue, my chickens are of a different breed, so even if they are fat, it will not affect their egg-laying ability.

It turned out that everyone was stunned.

Xu Yingguang's eyes were shining and his lips were trembling.

Damn it, I want to become your disciple too.

Don't stop anyone.
