At night, Shen Feng lay on the bed, thinking about the plan for the next few days, first of all, with a few thousand taels of silver to see if he could open a restaurant, the last time he looked for a restaurant, but with the delay of the trip to Hangzhou, this time back to Shengzhou, the restaurant must be done first, followed by cotton, after Miss Lan saw it, there should be no problem, cotton will not be officially put into production until August, so in these three months, Shen Feng can only hope to open a restaurant to make money, and then put the money into the cotton business and buy land, although Lin Kelan is responsible for sales and production, but a series of processes of cotton picking and sowing are in charge of Shen Feng, and there is no modern mechanical operationIt is very labor-intensive, material, and financial.

If the cotton business and the restaurant business start to make a profit together, Shen Feng still has a huge plan, but this plan is built on two shoulders, so the most important thing at the moment is the cotton and the restaurant.

If you want to earn it, you still have to work hard, and then some of you are busy, and you think about it for a long time before you fall asleep.

At two o'clock the next day, the sky was slightly bright, Shen Feng drove the carriage all the way, and after an hour, he came to the foot of the mountain, the two got off the carriage and went up the mountain together, and walked for a while, Lin Kelan was already clenching his silver teeth, and the slower he went.

Shen Feng stopped and turned around and said, "Miss, why don't you rest for a while, anyway, the time is not in a hurry"

Lin Kelan's legs were sore after walking for a few miles, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult, if it weren't for fighting with him last night, he would have stopped to rest and rub his feet now, so he had to force himself and said, "No need, keep walking"

Walking like a seventy or eighty grandmother, far from Miss Tang, when she came with Miss Tang before, she jumped up and down, Shen Feng smiled and said: "I see that you have to exercise more in the future, lack of exercise muscles are easy to atrophy"

"Where am I going to make time to exercise" Lin Kelan felt a surge of heat in her chest, as if she was stimulated by his words, she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I don't exercise, I can walk on this mountain road" and hurriedly walked up.

It was also on the bar, and Shen Feng also walked behind her, Lin Kelan burst out with amazing willpower, and there was no rest in the middle, which made Shen Feng secretly admire, it was already rare for a big lady like her who was not good at physical work to climb a few miles of mountain roads.

Finally arrived at the valley, tired Lin Kelan pouted and panted, but she seemed to have forgotten her tiredness, and looked radiant, quite like the pleasure of the late autumn weather after the new rain in the empty mountains Shen Feng gave her a thumbs up and praised: "Miss is mighty"

Lin Kelan smiled proudly and said, "I just want you to know that what you men can do, our daughter's family can do too."

Shen Feng smiled, stopped talking, and took her to the valley to find the old man, the old man was in the field at this time, and soon found him, last time Shen Feng advanced him a lot of silver taels, at this time a lot of manpower has been added to the field, after the increase in manpower, the growth of cottonseeds will be better, and the aphids are much less than last time.

Seeing Shen Feng and a girl coming, the old man said, "Shen Feng, you are here, who is this?"

Shen Feng said: "She is Miss Lin's family, who runs a weaving business, and today I will take her to see cotton."

"Then you came just in time, nearly half of the cotton has bloomed young buds, and it will bloom in about another month, come, I will take you to see" The old man took two people to a cotton plant with normal development, pointed to the young buds and said: "Oh, this is the young buds, if they will bloom white in June, they will turn light red after half a month."

Lin Kelan touched the young bud and knew that the cotton was flower-shaped, and she thought it was filamentous before, so she asked: "After the bud blooms, how can it be used to make weaving?"

Shen Feng smiled and said: "Miss, the first time you saw cotton, naturally you don't understand, so I'll explain the product knowledge for you from beginning to end, if others ask about you in the future, you won't know anything."

Under Lin Kelan's eyes, Shen Feng continued: "The seedling stage---- budding stage--- flowering stage--- boll stage---- harvest period usually call the whole process of cotton seedling (sowing) to pulling firewood as the life of cotton, which takes about 200 days. From the emergence of seedlings to the maturity of the first cotton boll, the growth period of cotton is called cotton, which is about 120 days. The growth period of cotton is divided into five periods, namely, sowing and emergence stage, seedling stage, budding stage, flower boll stage and flocculation stage. ”

"From the sowing of cotton seeds to the emergence and unfolding of half of the cotyledons, it is called the sowing and seedling emergence stage. Generally, it is sown in mid to late April, and the seedlings emerge in one to two weeks. It is a critical period to decide on the first sowing of all seedlings. ”

"Then there is the seedling stage, from the emergence of the seedling to the cotton field, nearly half of the cotton plants appear the first bud called the seedling stage, the early varieties are about a month, and the medium varieties are forty to fifty days. ”

"The first flower from the bud to the first flower is called the budding stage, and the budding period is generally from early to mid-June to early July. ”

"Then it takes 50 to 60 days from flowering to the first cotton boll spit out and call the flower boll stage when half of the cotton plants have been planted. The flowering and boll stage is mostly in the climatic environment from early July to mid-August, which is the period of both vegetative growth and reproductive growth, and more than seventy percent of the dry matter is formed in the flowering and boll stage. It is a critical period to determine the level of cotton yield, and it is also a key period for the management of cotton fields. The flowering boll stage is the period when cotton needs the most water in its life, and cotton plants are sensitive to water reactions, such as water imbalance, metabolic process is blocked, a large number of bud bells fall off, and cause premature aging, which seriously affects the cotton growth process.

"The last is the flocculation period: from the beginning of the flocculation to the end of the flowering is the flocculation period. About 70 days, generally in mid and late August, we can use some cotton wool to put into the production trial camp, and then September is the peak period of spitting, mid to late October to early November basically finished harvesting. The dry matter accumulated by cotton bolls accounts for more than ninety percent of the accumulation in this period, and the fertilizer and water required in this period are significantly reduced. ”

Shen Feng didn't care whether the two of them understood it or not, he taught the two of them the biological knowledge he had read in the textbooks in his previous life, Lin Kelan She could learn it after listening to it, and she could tell others about it in the future, and the products she sold first had to understand by herself. The old man is the person who is responsible for the management of this cotton field, and he needs to understand the entire cotton growth cycle.

The old man squinted his lowered eyelids and smiled: "Little brother, you know more than me, who grows cotton by myself, if it wasn't for your guidance a few days ago, I don't know how much this batch of cotton would have been lost like last year."

Lin Kelan was secretly surprised, even the people he planted didn't know as much as Shen Feng, where did he learn these things, so it seems that he knows this cotton so well, which shows that his previous confidence did not come out of thin air.

Shen Feng smiled, and then said: "The next period is more critical, and we must pay attention to the time and amount of insecticide and fertilization."

Shen Feng told the old man about some points of attention and details, and the old man saw that he seemed to be everywhere, and listened carefully on the side to be taught humbly, and the old man and the young discussed, the old man kept asking questions, and Shen Feng explained to him one by one.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Lin Kelan and Shen Feng left together.

(The fourth watch is delivered, these four watches today, at least four watches tomorrow weekend, and the number of words will definitely not be less than 10,000)
