Chapter 746: The Tequila of "Hometown Love".
Most of the land on San Jose Island is too barren for many plants to grow and survive here, so the island is very desolate, although the existence of space springs is difficult for Jin Yang, but he doesn't want to plant some plants casually.
Fruit Tree Island is now being planted on a large scale, pasture grass can also be planted to raise cattle, barley and wheat and other crops can also be planted to meet the needs of San Jose Island itself, but these are too monotonous, since there is space for spring water, it is necessary to maximize its value.
Ordinary cash crops are no longer in Jinyang's eyes, and this is Mexico, follow the customs, since you are here, you have to think about whether you can grow some Mexican plants here.
But in the past few days, the only plant he has come into contact with with the most Mexican characteristics is cactus, and he has never encountered other valuable plants, so Jin Yang has no choice but to think of another way, and experimenting with this tequila is just incidental, and his main purpose is to grow the raw materials of this tequila on the island.
A special kind of agave grass with blue juice!
This special agave grass is the main ingredient for the blue tequila that was just made, and it was originally only grown in small quantities where the workshop was located.
Because of its extremely harsh growing conditions, high demands on climate, sunlight and soil, this particular agave grass is very difficult to survive, but the more important reason is its special habit.
This agave has an extraordinary affection for the land that nurtures it.
Or it can also be called "attachment".
As if it were reluctant to leave the land on which it was raised, once it left its homeland, even if the grower took good care of it, and even if the nutrients of the soil in which it was planted were exactly the same as the small area in which it was originally grown, it would quickly wither until it died, as if it would distinguish whether the soil beneath it was its biological "mother" or not.
This phenomenon is very magical, and many botanists have become interested in it, wanting to study why this agave has such magical abilities and why it is so "delicate".
It's just a pity that the power of nature is endless, and not all puzzles will be open to humans, and even many botanists have struggled to figure out why this particular agave has such magical abilities, let alone why they can't survive anywhere else.
The nutrient content of the soil, and even the natural climate such as sunlight are simulated exactly the same, so why does it still wither? What does it really need? The question has been bothering people.
Because of these reasons, it has always had only a small living space, which has been very carefully cared for by the artisan workshop, and the annual production is very scarce, only able to make 1,000 bottles of tequila.
The price of this magical agave wine is of course so expensive that it makes ordinary people doubt life, just a 500ml bottle of liquor, it costs tens of thousands of dollars!
It's a money grab!
It's no wonder that the small workshop only makes 1,000 bottles of wine a year, but can survive so well in today's competitive business environment, they have always been doing their own business!
Monopoly certainly makes money!
And now Jinyang has hit the idea of this special agave, and he also takes a fancy to its "unique" and "rare" attributes, although this kind of agave seems to have a pretentious "hometown" plot, but it doesn't matter, there is no kind of plant or so that can resist the charm of the space spring.
This is like a man meeting a mistress, no matter how much this man loves his wife, once a young and beautiful woman with a hot figure is pasted upside down, it is estimated that a man will not be able to resist the temptation of this red fruit.
It's easier to work backwards.
In the past few days, he has been wandering around the middle of the island for so long, he is not so bored, and he is not really idle and has nothing to do, otherwise he might as well go out to sea to fish, why bother blowing cold wind on the desolate and dying broken stone mountain on a cold day?
In addition to examining the terrain and looking for valuable flora and fauna to be cultivated on the island, most of his energy was devoted to studying the island's barren soil.
He was looking for a suitable land for those tequilas so that they could thrive and grow their own population, and contribute to the prosperity of San Jose.
Agave is also known as arave, acena, is the asparagus family, agave is a perennial evergreen large herbaceous plant. Because of its firm leaves, evergreen, yellow-green flowers, and very few pearl buds are formed on the inflorescence after flowering.
The origin generally takes decades before flowering, after which the mother plant dies and cross-pollination can bear fruit. Prefers well-drained, fertile and moist sandy soils.
The shape of the agave is very unique, the leaves are arranged in a rosette, usually 30-40 pieces, sometimes 50-60 pieces, each leaf is like a long tongue, and the plant is very tall, like a huge monster hiding in the ground and sticking out its tongue to the sky, so it is called agave.
Its leaves are fleshy, a bit like a cactus in this respect, except that they don't have those horrible long spines, each leaf is almost 1-2 meters long, like a sharp sword, shooting at the sky.
Agave likes full sunshine, slightly cold-tolerant, not shade-tolerant, likes cool, dry environment, grows at a suitable temperature of 15-25 °C, grows best at night temperature of 10-16 °C, and can be cultivated in the open field at a temperature of more than 5 °C.
Adult agave leaves are only slightly frost damaged at a low temperature of minus 5 °C, and the aboveground part is frozen and rotted at minus 13 °C, and the underground stems do not die, and the leaves can germinate and develop in the following year, grow normally, and the cold and dry winter is the most beneficial to its growth.
They are very drought tolerant and do not have strict soil requirements, preferably loose, fertile and well-drained moist sandy soils.
Therefore, the cultivation of this plant is not difficult, it is not easy to say, the most important thing is to grasp their habits, choose the right planting location, as long as the temperature is suitable, basically they can survive and grow well.
The blue agave like the one that Jinyang made the idea of peeping at is just a special case, and I believe that as long as its "hometown" plot is solved, it will definitely be much easier to plant this plant on a large scale.
"Forget it, since this is already the case, then the climbing practice will be changed to tomorrow. Looking at Wei Hua and Eper, who were already drowsy, Jin Yang had no better way, sighed and packed up his climbing equipment into his bag, and then picked up a glass bottle full of seeds and started in a daze.
