Chapter 37: Help
In the Qingyi Elementary School, except for the gymnasium under construction, the rest of the place is empty.
Lin Zeng walked along the stairs and corridors, almost to every corner of the school. His notebook is full of design ideas. And in his mobile phone, he also has a lot of school photos. When he returns home, he can start to make design drawings and refine the plant seeds he needs, step by step.
Walking down from another slightly older teaching building, Lin Zeng thought in his heart what kind of plants could be used to plant the railings and stairs of the stairs to achieve the best results.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from under the stairs.
"Director Zhang, I'm Jiang Hua, I'll trouble you again, I found the tools that were originally placed in the sixth-grade office, but where are the few pieces of wood?"
Lin Zeng walked down the stairs to look for prestige, and sure enough, he saw the girl before, hanging up with a mobile phone in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
At her feet was a large shopping bag stuffed with tools like saws, hammers, and ink fountains, which looked like they were used for carpentry.
She stood by a staircase and kicked it with some irritation. Inadvertently looked up and saw Lin Zeng walking down, he was a little embarrassed to give up a few steps to the side, and the hand that was crossed on his waist was also put down.
"Director Zhang, it's really not that I put things indiscriminately, I originally planned to store them in the office for two days, but I didn't expect the office to suddenly vacate. ”
Lin Zeng's pace slowed slightly, and when he heard her account, he felt as if the office was empty, causing her some trouble.
"Is it in the stairwell on the first floor of the front building? I've looked for it twice,...... , Okay, I'll look for it again, well, okay, I didn't find it, I'll ask the school master. ”
Hanging up the phone, she sighed and turned to walk to a small room under a staircase.
"Need help?" Lin Zeng couldn't help but ask out loud when he saw that the stairwell was dimly lit and lit with a dim lamp that was not bright.
"Huh?" Jiang Hua looked back in surprise, as if he didn't expect Lin Zeng to ask for help, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and said, "Thank you! It's okay, it's not troublesome." ”
"What are you looking for? I'll help you, it's fine. Lin Zeng watched a girl plunge into a dirty warehouse looking for something, and felt that he really couldn't stand by and watch. He took a few steps and helped her move the broken desks and chairs that were piled up next to the stairwell door.
"Well, thank you. ”
When Lin Zeng was helping people find things in the stairwell, his three employees also ushered in the busiest day since they were hired.
Twice as many customers have consulted as before. Zheng Fei and the three, in addition to a part of the basic salary, there is also a part of the bonus is increased according to the sales volume, so the more people buy, they are busy and happy.
Lin Zeng's vine vegetables were put on sale in the expectation of vegetable friends from all walks of life in the Urban Farm Forum. As the largest family farming and planting forum in China, the number of vegetable friends lurking in the jar every day is amazing.
Among them, the vast majority of forum users are urban people who do not have land in big cities. They yearn for an idyllic life, but they can't escape the shackles of life, so they can only live in a city made of steel and concrete, living in a high-rise commercial building with a thousand yuan per square meter. If you want to get close to nature, you have to drive your private car out of the congested city on the weekend and go to the nearby suburbs to taste the fun of farming.
At the same time, they are returning to nature in a different way. That's urban home farming, which is becoming more and more popular.
The conditions are slightly better, and if you live on the top floor, you can use the space of dozens of square meters on the top floor to build a rooftop vegetable garden. This kind of storage is already considered to be the landlord-level storage among urban vegetable friends. For example, Jiang Bai, who works in the library, in order to let his grandchildren eat assured green leafy vegetables without pesticide pollution, insisted on operating the vacant land on the top floor and became one of the experts in the planting of the forum.
The condition is secondary, there is sunlight in the home for a long time. You can't grow a single leafy green, but you can grow some fast-growing lettuce in tiered pots, and if you have enough space, you can grow a tomato or two cucumbers. Although it cannot meet daily needs, it can also satisfy cravings occasionally. The moderator of the balcony planting section of the Urban Farm Forum is one of the masters, with less than five or six square meters of sunshine, and the green leaves are evergreen all year round.
The conditions are even worse, such as Ding Shan Yueyue, who lives in Haishi, a small house with two bedrooms and one living room, and only a small balcony of about two square meters. Occasionally, I feel itchy and plant a few strawberries, but because of improper care and malnutrition, I can harvest two or three fruits in one tree, which is already lucky.
The difficulty of urban planting lies in the planting land, the lack of sunlight, and the lack of nutrients. Before Lin Zeng's family vine seeds appeared, most urban vegetable farmers, growing at home, were petty and petty. After planting for two months, you can eat a plate of fried vegetables, even if the harvest is good.
However, the emergence of Linso vine vegetables broke the previous cultivation pattern of urban families.
The growth of vine vegetables is three-dimensional growth, and there is no need to occupy other space in the family. Just provide a small corner and place a 30 cm diameter planting pot. Vine vegetables can climb the wall and grow.
Vine vegetables, which have been refined in the living room, are very suitable for indoor growth, unlike traditional plants, which are highly dependent on sunlight. Therefore, for most houses, vines that grow vigorously indoors can be planted in all corners of the room.
At the same time, the roots of vines are able to quickly convert biofertilizers in the soil, providing plant growth. Urban households can use food waste to compost in sealed containers to provide fertilizer for the growth of vines.
Most importantly, Lin Zeng's vine vegetables grow quickly and can provide enough food for urban families.
For example, as long as a family grows a vine red jade tomato, as long as it is planted for a month, it can continue to harvest ripe tomato fruits in the next three months.
Ding Shan Yueyue's "weighing post" on the forum is still being updated. As the grower of the first batch of vine red jade tomatoes, Ding Shan Yueyue has been picking tomatoes for more than a month.
The weight of the harvested tomatoes accumulated on the forum post is close to fifteen catties. The forum vegetable friend joked with the post, I don't know if her family has eaten tomatoes for a month.
There are also some vegetable friends who calculate three yuan per pound of tomatoes on the market, and the seedlings of a vine red jade tomato are ten yuan, but it does not take a week to pick enough tomatoes to return to their roots.
At the same time, Ding Shan Yueyue was lucky enough to get Lin Zeng to give vine green leafy vegetable seedlings again. She weighed herself and became addicted, and started another post to record the weight of leafy greens picked each day.
The lotus leaf vegetables planted in Dingshan can be picked two to three times a day, and each flower weighs between 200-350 grams. The lotus leaf vegetables harvested every day are within one to two catties, and most of the time, they are about one and a half catties.
Just enough to add a plate of stir-fried greens.
Being able to eat a meal of fresh and tender vegetables just picked from the branches is an extremely distant thing for Ding Shan Yueyue and his wife, who grew up in the city.
The plump leaves, with the fragrance of green leaves, are completely different from the dying vegetables in the supermarket in the evening, slightly stir-fried, it exudes the sweet aroma of vegetables, without MSG and sugar, shake off a few grains of fine salt, you can hold a plate of refreshing green vegetables.
Since growing tomatoes and lotus leaf vegetables at home, her husband, who has always scoffed at her growing vegetables, has also begun to pay attention to the Urban Farm Forum every day. Last night, it was Ding Yue's husband Chen Taohan who first discovered the vine vegetables of the City Seed King on the shelves.
He did not hesitate to buy several other vine leafy greens that were not grown. Although the price of each vine green leafy vegetable seedling is quite high, 50 yuan per plant, only after the real vine is planted, can you feel that this plant 50 yuan is completely worth the price.
"Wife, wife, guess what I bought. He mysteriously walked up to Ding Yue and whispered.
Ding Yue was leaning on the sofa, leaning over to play a mobile game, and asked casually, "What good things did you buy?"
"Haha, we don't have to buy vegetables in the future, the vines of the City Seed King are on the shelves, and I will take pictures of all the types. Where do you say the other vegetables are?" Chen Taohan said excitedly.
"Wow!" Ding Yue excitedly threw down the game, ran to her husband's computer, and skillfully opened the online store of the Urban Seed King, "Really, let me see, the leafy fungus can be planted in the sun, and the wall on the laundry pool is barely enough for it to grow." Remove the decorative paintings on the wall of the living room and plant weeping water spinach and garlic salad, my favorite ......"
Ding Yue, who soaks in the Urban Farm Forum every day, is already familiar with these vegetables. She and her husband began to plan a home planting plan in earnest.
"Do you want to buy a few more?" Ding Yue felt that planting was not enjoyable, and she couldn't wait to cover all the walls of the two-bedroom and one-bedroom living room with plants.
"No, no, no, no," Chen Taohan shook his head firmly and smiled unpredictably, "I can't buy it anymore." ”
"Why?" Ding Yue asked unconvinced, beating her husband's fleshy belly.
"Haha," Chen Taohan pinched her cheek, "I have a hunch that there will be new vines in the store of the City Seed King, which are suitable for home planting, and you will plant all green leafy vegetables, where else can you plant when new varieties appear in the future?"

p.s is inspired by Huang Jialin's children's shoes, do you have any special plant settings, tell me in the comment area, I put his post at the top, and you can also leave a message in that post. I'll join in as the story develops. Relatively simple plants will appear in the early stage, and more amazing plants will appear as Lin Zeng's ability improves. At the same time, thank you for pushing the sun up the mountain, Huang Jialin, Sam Ape, and Linglong Shuhua for the rewards of the four children's shoes!
