Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 184

"Husband, come here quickly and take a look. Look, is our sweet potato growing taller again, and has buds?" One of Zhuo Feng's favorite things to do recently is to squat on the ground and stare at the sweet potato. Seedling observation.

After the sweet potato seedlings in the farm came back from life, they grew day and night like a newborn baby. It took only one month. By May, sweet potato vines had grown all over the place, and the whole farm was already a midsummer scene. .

Under the bright eyes, the oval sweet potato leaves are spread flat on the ground, and some of the best growing ones have already grown white buds, and the spring breeze passes through the border, which is a scene of leaf shaking.

"Let me see, blooming? No, if I remember correctly, sweet potatoes are blooming now, not this season, so they can be harvested in a month or so?" Fengxing recently started a side business, When he went to touch the river snails by the river that day, he noticed that the riverside was barren, with only a circle of weeds growing.

The land in Yanqing is small and there are many people. After an accident happened in the dairy farm a while ago, several farmers living nearby said that this place is evil, so they moved a few more. There were fewer people and more barren fields. .

After observing, Feng Xing decided to plant something near the river.The river mud is very fertile, and it is a waste to waste it in vain. Fengxing went to the city to buy some betel nut taro and planted them along the river.

There is an old saying in his hometown, which is called crazy taro that grows excessively.It is said that taro does not recognize water and soil, it will take root when it sees the soil, and it is good, even if you throw away half of the rotten taro and go to the ground, in the next spring, it will grow lush.But after the taro was planted, there was one more thing he had to do every day, which was to go to the river to water the taro twice. The weather in the north was dry, and waiting for the rain was really hopeless.

When Zhuo Feng called out, Feng Xing had just returned from pouring water for the first time, with a straw hat on his neck and a long-handled water spoon in his hand.It has been two months since they moved to the farm, and the couple have changed their appearance.

Darkened, thinned, and strengthened.Feng Xing's "swimming ring" saved by sitting in the office became flat, Zhuo Feng stopped shouting to lose weight, and the smiles on the faces of the two became more.

The couple also talked less and less about living in the city.I no longer think about the bright lights in the city, I am used to not going to the supermarket, I am used to eating vegetables grown in my own fields, seafood from the river, and pork ribs occasionally, and my life is carefree.

Fengxing peeled away the densely growing sweet potato leaves, and saw several sweet potato buds that were very similar to morning glory, and they looked like they were about to bloom.

"It's really strange. Could it be that Uncle Bai has a spirit in the sky and blesses us, so that we can have a good harvest and premature birth?" Fengxing was also very happy. After becoming a farmer, he knew the hard work of farmers. exquisite.

If it goes on the market ten days earlier, the price will increase by [-]%, and one month earlier, the price may double.Looking at the sweet potatoes in their farm, according to the growth rate, they will be at least two months earlier than other people's sweet potatoes. I really don't know how to calculate the price at that time.

"Yes, we didn't use any fertilizer. We just made manure from the manure left by the cattle and sheep when they ruined the field. You mixed some river mud into it. Looking at the growth, it's like taking hormones. "Zhuo Feng smiled, and Xiaoxian must be secretly happy when he goes home this time and sees the growth of sweet potatoes.

She is now planning, after the sweet potato harvest, how to sell it?How much do you sell it for?Isn't it popular in cities to eat whole grains now, and sweet potatoes will definitely be very popular.

Zhuo Feng thought hard, Feng Xing heard footsteps outside the farm, got up and walked out quickly.

When the police came to interrogate them a while ago, Afeng was so angry that he almost didn't scold the people in the dairy farm. The couple went to the countryside to farm well, and whoever provoked them.

Seeing that the people standing outside the farm were not policemen, but a few well-dressed unfamiliar faces, Feng Xing was relieved at first, but seeing the other party looking into the farm from time to time, he felt something was wrong again.

With the in-depth development of Yanqing, there is also an upsurge of farm tourism in the surrounding area, but what does this have to do with Fengxing's small farm.Feng Xing also saw the face of a foreigner in the crowd, and felt that something was wrong.

"Excuse me?" Just as Feng Xing opened his mouth, a man in his 30s in a suit and leather shoes walked out of the crowd.

It was Huang Tengchong who walked out. When Aisha invited Zhou Ziang over with the help of glyceric acid, he was still a little unhappy at first, but under Aisha's repeated requests, he had no choice but to bring him here. When talking about the specific spraying location, he hesitated and said vaguely, only saying that they wanted to buy a field in the countryside, but there were overgrown weeds, and they couldn't get rid of them.
When Zhou Ziang proposed to come to see the scene, after Huang Tengchong brought people over, he rushed to speak first: "Hello, this is your farm, right? We are from the city, and we are interested in developing ecology in this area." Plantation, so come here first to observe the surrounding planting situation."

Zhuo Feng also came out when he heard the voice.

"Oh, it's a colleague. It's not a good observation. Our husband and wife have just arrived, and we are both half-baked, but if you are interested, you can come in and take a look." Now Zhuo Feng is like a top child giving birth , I heard that the parents of another family were coming to visit, so I was happy, so I quickly invited people in.

However, when I saw Aisha and Zhou Ziang, who were outstanding in appearance, I couldn't help muttering: I have grown up to this appearance, and I have to come to farm. These days, even being a farmer is more important than temperament in terms of appearance. Don't let people live.

Aisha can't understand a few words of Chinese, so coming to the countryside is considered sightseeing.Zhou Ziang could hear it clearly, and when he looked at Huang Tengchong's speech, he knew that there was something tricky in it, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he followed in the door without saying much.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Ziang was stunned by the emerald green in front of his eyes.

"Ang, what are these? They are green and very cute," Aisha walked up to Zhou Ziang without showing any trace, and whispered in his ear very affectionately.

"Miss Aisha, this is." Huang Tengchong and Fengxing had already inquired about the sweet potatoes planted in the field, and hurriedly answered, but when talking about sweet potatoes, the English vocabulary couldn't be remembered for a while, and the second half of the sentence contained It's in my mouth and I can't spit it out.

"Sweet potatoes, right?" Zhou Ziang replied in a low voice, Feng Xing also looked at Zhou Ziang with great interest, unable to tell that this young man was a man of knowledge.

"Sweet potatoes? Why do you plant so many? Can they be eaten? Aren't they all fed to livestock?" Aisha didn't eat sweet potatoes very much. She came from a wealthy family. In her impression, sweet potatoes and potatoes are all lower class. What people eat, if they eat too much, they may spoil their stomachs.

"It's edible, and it's much healthier than American junk food," Zhou Ziang said with displeasure. This Aisha, fortunately, she can't speak Chinese, or she would offend people when she opened her mouth.

Aisha felt very uncomfortable after listening to the words. After looking at the sweet potatoes with a lot of vines, she caught a glimpse of a few pink and white flowers, "The flowers don't look ugly."

Zhou Ziang had already knelt down, opened a few sweet potato leaves, and rubbed them lightly with his fingers.The sweet potato leaves here do not have any traces of herbicides used, and they have been applied with very natural farmyard manure. Looking at the growth, they can be harvested at the end of summer.

This couple is not easy.

"Big brother, don't mess around. It's the time for leaves to grow, so be careful," Zhuo Feng reminded hurriedly, like a narrow-minded mother, for fear that other people's rough hands and feet would damage the sweet potato seedlings.

"Sweet potatoes, and there are three different varieties of sweet potatoes. If you read correctly, they should be domestic baked potatoes, American hybrid black potatoes, and Japanese white potatoes." What surprised Zhou Ziang was the layout of the fields in the farm. , as well as fertilization and the distance between sweet potatoes are all very reasonable.

Hearing that the young man with the most outstanding appearance in the crowd could identify three kinds of sweet potatoes with his naked eyes, Zhuo Feng opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

"How?" Zhuo Feng and his wife didn't know the details, but Huang Tengchong knew about Zhou Ziang's background. A researcher at Cornell University, how could he not know a few sweet potato seedlings.

"The growth is pretty good, and the yield will be good." After hearing Zhou Ziang's answer, Huang Tengchong almost died of anger. Who asked this? He asked about the effect of herbicides, is it all useless?
Zhou Ziang didn't even look at Huang Tengchong, and reached out to pick off a few sweet potato leaves.
"I almost forgot to say it," he paused, Huang Tengchong immediately pricked up his ears and stared at Zhou Ziang.

"I'll give you a suggestion. These sweet potato seedlings haven't been topped yet. While the potato seedlings are not yet finalized, remove the top buds of the main stem, which can promote the growth of other branches. When the branches grow eleven or twelve nodes When the top buds of the branches grow more, the vine branches and leaves will grow faster, which can increase the utilization rate of sunlight. Effective topping only needs one or two times, and the yield can be increased by 20.00% to three times. Ten." Zhou Ziang said a few words lightly, and Zhuo Feng and his wife nodded repeatedly.

Huang Tengchong couldn't listen anymore, his complexion could no longer be described by the simple word "ugly".

"Ang, what did you say?" Aisha also saw some signs, why Huang Tengchong's face changed drastically, and he was still staring at Zhou Ziang.

"Thank you, our husband and wife are still novices, thanks to your reminder, you wait for a while," Zhuo Feng hurriedly ran into the house, and then went into the house to find a pair of scissors. Several handfuls of sweet potato sprouts and vines.

"The sweet potatoes are not yet ripe, but these sweet potato leaves and vines are very fresh, we don't use pesticides, these are absolutely green food. After a while, the sweet potatoes are ripe, you must come back and buy some free for you to try. "

Zhuo Feng said, and then looked at the very good-looking young expert, he was startled, staring at his face for a while.Zhuo Feng was a little embarrassed by the sight, Feng Xing coughed, Zhou Ziang hurriedly turned his face away, and put away the freshly picked sweet potato leaves.

When Zhou Ziang and Aisha left the farm, they looked back at Zhuo Feng and Fengxing again.

Looking at the pretty face, for some reason, he felt a bit like "her", Zhou Ziang laughed unconsciously, stroking the bundle of fresh sweet potato leaves with his fingers.
