silent farm

Chapter 130 An advertisement targeting a minority

Li Sheng saw that it was still early, so he took them to see some things grown on other farms.For example, bamboo has survived and grown bamboo shoots.

Li Sheng touched the bamboo shoots that were already taller than him, and said to the two with a smile: "People say that bamboo shoots spring up after rain, and bamboo shoots popped up in this area these days."

Luo Shao was a little puzzled: "I said Li Sheng, although I heard that Brazil has been researching and developing the bamboo market these years, but you don't need to plant such a large bamboo forest."

This place is different from the small sapling covered by weeds just now.At a glance, there are bamboos several meters high, stretching over countless hills.

Of course Li Sheng doesn't know how to grow ordinary bamboo, and explained: "I am a farm here, and of course I mainly grow food. I don't know how to get some timber bamboo seeds."

Half of the [-] square kilometers of newly planted bamboo forests are a kind of perennial bamboo that blooms for many years, which is rare.

The vast majority of bamboos are perennial grasses that bloom once. Once they bloom, they basically die in the next year.After some species bloom, the bamboo on the ground will die, but the bamboo whips on the ground will still be alive.There are also individual species that can survive as a whole if they are handled properly after flowering.But the bamboo that Li Sheng discovered from the space had bloomed and fruited twice in a row, but it was still alive and well.

Bamboo is a timber plant.But it is also a kind of food, of course bamboo shoots needless to say.As a Chinese, it is common to eat bamboo shoots.But he also knows that there is a very good food - bamboo rice.

He doesn't know how high the nutritional value of bamboo rice is.But just look at such a big bamboo and die after growing a little bit of bamboo rice.Just know how much nutrition bamboo rice takes up.Moreover, he has eaten this kind of bamboo rice, whether it is fried or boiled, or even ground into powder for snacks, it tastes very good.

Of course, the output of bamboo rice will not be very high.But the production of bamboo shoots of this kind of bamboo is very large.The diameter of this kind of bamboo is fifteen to six centimeters, but the bamboo shoots are about [-] centimeters, and it does not have a bitter taste like the bamboo shoots of other big bamboos, it is fresh and sweet.It's a nice thing.

The other is a more exotic kind of bamboo.Bamboo with alternating long and short nodes.The walls of this bamboo are very thick.The foot is three centimeters, and the diameter is fifteen to twenty centimeters.This thick bamboo does not grow very high.But the leaves are very dense.Of course, the most peculiar place is not these, but the inside of its bamboo joints can form a kind of syrup.

There are two kinds of bamboo joints that are alternately long and short. The short bamboo joints are filled with water, while the long bamboo joints are filled with syrup. Therefore, this kind of bamboo wants to stand on the ground. The hardness and toughness of bamboo are very strong.A [-]-centimeter-long bamboo joint can hold almost one catty of syrup, and one bamboo can harvest at least twenty catties of syrup.

Of course, if this kind of bamboo is to be harvested, it may take a long time, because Li Sheng has cut some in the space, some of which are very viscous, and some are still like sugar water.Only when the bamboo turns purple does the syrup inside turn into a thick syrup.And this growth process, he didn't know how long it would take.Maybe ten years, maybe 100 years, no one can tell.

However, the bamboo shoots of these bamboos are very delicious, and they can be fried and eaten directly without soaking in water.Even if he can't harvest syrup for a short time, he can dig bamboo shoots to eat.Of course, that is at least a few years later.

"Bamboo can produce sugar?" Chen Bo couldn't help but wonder if Li Sheng was just wishful thinking.

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. Anyway, you will know when the time comes."

Luo Zheng thought it was interesting, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then your bamboo forest is enough to equal the output of a big sugar-producing country."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "This bamboo sugar is very different from sucrose. It contains various vitamins and other trace elements. Maybe it can be regarded as something similar to honey."

"If that's the case, this thing can be considered a treasure." Chen Bo felt that it was still too early to say these things.Li Sheng has said that it will take at least a few years for this thing to be produced.

"You mentioned honey. I remember you said beekeepers. Show us."

So Li Sheng drove them to see those Xiong Fengs again.Here, you can see that the piles in the shed are tied to the piles with a diameter of more than two feet. The length of these logs is about two meters, and they are tied with finger-thick steel bars.And there is already a big honeycomb outside the wood.Bees with big thumbs go in and out of it.

"This is a bee? Why does it look bigger than a wasp?" Luo Shao finally had something he didn't know.

Chen Bo didn't know what kind of bee it was: "I'm afraid it won't feel good to be stung by it."

Li Sheng laughed, walked in and said: "These bees don't have tail needles. Their defensive weapons are jaws and poison sacs inside their bodies. Their jaws are stronger than Hu Feng, so don't worry about Hu Feng, the natural enemy of bees. As for the toxins , can teach enough to the birds that eat them."

He looked inside for a while and said, "The nest is too small now, and there must not be many bee pupae. Otherwise, I can get one and make bee pupae for you to eat."

He got it in the space and ate it. The bee chrysalis was bigger than a cicada. After cleaning it up, he fried it and ate it. It was very delicious.And it's very nutritious.

Chen Bo didn't have that kind of desire for words. He saw twelve such hives tied up in one shed, and looked at a large number of such sheds on the hillside. He frowned and said, "You have too many of them. If the quality is good, the price is also cheap." Can't afford it!"

Li Sheng disagreed with him: "To be high-end doesn't have to be limited. Shuanglao is the world's top car, but when will this company's profit surpass Volkswagen BMW? I think the market is the largest for the middle class. Only by occupying this The high-end market of some consumer groups is the most profitable."

In fact, other products on his farm are operated with this idea.On the one hand, the land on the farm will not be wasted; on the other hand, this is the most profitable way.As for those at the top, what is more important is a reputation.He also plans to produce one or two products, such as those caviar.

Thinking of caviar, he couldn't help asking: "Did you eat those caviar last night?"

Luo Zheng laughed and said, "Pumpkin pie with caviar has a special flavor."

Li Sheng also laughed, caviar was indeed not suitable last night.All kinds of food are very tasteful, either sweet or salty.Not to mention caviar, even dragon meat can't taste the original taste.

But Luo Shao laughed and said: "The caviar is not bad, round and clear, and full, but it doesn't have the unique smell of the sea. It should be the roe of a freshwater fish. But judging from the diameter of the roe, it should be a big fish .”

Li Sheng had to admire his tongue.The caviar that can be recognized by gourmets is indeed only produced by those migratory sturgeons.But in the space is a freshwater lake, and of course the fish produced in it cannot be seawater fish.

Chen Bo said: "Actually, the refreshing feeling is also very good, and the taste is not bad, but the production seems to be a bit careless."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I did it myself, it's my first time, a novice."

"That's understandable. But if you want to go to the market, I'm afraid it will not be so easy. The ghosts have very rigid standards for food. No matter how good your caviar is, it is not produced by seawater migratory fish. It cannot be called caviar."

Li Sheng shrugged and said, "If it really doesn't work, then I'll kill the fish and eat the meat."

Chen Bo said with a smile: "That's not the case. There will always be people who like to eat it. And it's not seawater fish, which means that their roe has less sodium than seawater migratory fish. Isn't it said that sodium can easily cause high blood pressure?" ?Maybe someone will like it, maybe."

Li Sheng also felt that he had to ask Fernando and Ali whether the caviar could open up the market.If it doesn't work, he'll find another blockbuster product.

He saw that it was almost noon, so he said, "We have to go back to have lunch."

When they returned to the villa, the others hadn't come back yet.But Tia came back.

When Tia saw him, she jumped in front of him with a flushed face and said, "My father and the others agreed. They are willing to move out of the forest."

Li Sheng was also very happy with the news and said, "That's great. You let your father choose a place to stay first. If they like to live in the forest, they can find a place in the surrounding forest. I will ask someone to help them build it." Tree houses. If they like to live in the open space, I will help them build some wooden houses."

Tia nodded while smiling.

Li Sheng added: "One more thing. The children in your tribe don't know Latin yet. I discussed it with Anthony last night. You are the only one who can speak your tribe's language and Latin. We can't find anyone else. Teach. How about you teach them Latin?"

When Tia heard this, she had no confidence at all. She shook her head and said, "I can't do it. I was taught by Anthony. Please ask him to teach. He must be able to teach well."

Li Sheng held her by the shoulders and said with a smile: "Other children are not as smart as you, and Anthony still has a lot of work to do, it is impossible to be a teacher. And you have watched so many class videos and learned from the teachers in them." Just teach."

Tia blinked, hesitated for a while, and finally said seriously: "Well, I will work hard!"

Li Sheng rubbed her head vigorously with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, you will do well. I'll cook first."

Tia saw that it was already noon, and remembered that she still had something to do.She turned around and ran to the kitchen: "Ah, I'm going to feed the puppy too."

Li Sheng cooked this lunch very carefully, as long as it was produced in the farm, he made a dish.Cattle, fragrant pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, various mushrooms and fish, and several kinds of vegetables grown by myself.

It's not a meal, it's an ad.
