Holding the fat ding and walking forward, this guy weighs nearly nine kilograms, and his hands are sore after walking more than 100 meters, Han Xuan patted his butt and let it go down, the fat cat showed an unbelievable pitiful look, he just fell out of love.

Dead or alive, there was no choice but to hold it anymore, the dead cat rolled, rolled over, shook its tail, and did not stop for a moment, its arms were sore, and it felt that it was getting heavier and heavier.

Finally, after the fat ding twisted his body countless times, a hand slapped it on the face, "Come down and go by yourself, otherwise you will eat porridge in the next week, and at most you will be given a plate of pickled cucumbers." ”

Now it was finally obedient, hanging its head and being unusually lost, looking at Daini with big eyes, selling cuteness for a while, and then succeeding, lying in her arms with satisfaction, as long as she didn't have to walk by herself, anyone would be the same......

When you come to the southernmost greenhouses, the sign says Vegetable Experimental Garden, and each small greenhouse is subdivided into cauliflower, tomato, peas, etc., which is estimated to be cultivating new varieties.

Han Xuan walked around and didn't see anyone, the place was too big, so he shouted directly: "Mr. Lewis, where are you?"

"Here!" the other party immediately replied, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, Lewis, who was covered with mud on his white coat, appeared, his hands were also muddy, and he wanted to rub them together, "Why are you here?"

"Hear my dad say that black truffles are successfully cultivated?"

"Yes!"

Speaking of this, Lewis became excited and said: "But it's not black truffles, this time I bought French white truffle clumps in California, and it will not be a real success until they are transplanted into the wild and survive."

But at least this time they have not died after twenty days of attachment to the roots of the hazel tree, and there are signs of successful parasitism, and the last time the clumps have rotted, and according to the opinion of the clump supplier, they can be planted in the wild recently. ”

"That's really congratulations, what's the difference between white truffles and black truffles?" Han Xuan asked him with a smile. Approaching a greenhouse behind Lewis, it was still the same as last time, except that the pine trees were replaced by hazel trees, and the wooden tray more than half a meter high was overgrown with small hazel trees more than a meter high, and the soil was moist. It should have just been watered, and the inside of the greenhouse was warm and bright.

"The mycorrhizae cost $130,000 because the seeds were selected using truffles from the white region of Alba in Italy, the best white truffles in the world, which in Europe people call edible white diamonds.

Because it is rarer, it is more precious than the black truffle produced in France, and the price in the market can be sold for up to 6,000 US dollars per kilogram. Now it seems that it is more suitable!"

Lewis bent down as he spoke, gently dusted off the dirt from the roots of a hazel tree, there was a small black sarcoma-like thing, stuck to its roots, raised his head and said, "This is the truffle fungus, and it is still active, and it is getting bigger and bigger during this time."

I divided the four experimental plots into four plots and collected the soil from the pasture for planting. They are sensitive to pH changes, and to my surprise all four of them worked. ”

"Where are you going to plant them?" Han Xuan looked at. Reaching out and touching it, it feels a little hard.

"We found a few hills in our pasture and were going to plant around Flathead, but I heard that wild boars had recently come there, and they and bears and other animals would eat truffles when they smelled it, and the mycorrhizae were destroyed when the soil was removed.

So I think it's better to plant it on our ranch. This time more than 200 trees were successfully cultivated, and less than 10% of them died, and the truffle fungus block suppliers in California said that it was a miracle, I recorded every step, and I can cultivate more according to this in the future!

I would exactly simulate the environment in which wild truffles grow. Let them grow naturally, but I don't know if they can have a wonderful taste like the white truffles in the Alba region of Italy, but even ordinary white truffles are quite valuable when they are produced. ”

Lewis said in a smug tone, and his face clearly wrote to praise me, the biggest problem has been solved, only the wild transplant is needed, which means that in a few years there will be truffles in the snowy mountain pastures.

A ranch that produces truffles is worth much more than ordinary pastures, and as long as the environment does not change dramatically and the parasitic plants do not die, they can live for hundreds of years and continue to produce truffles.

Han Xuan didn't give him a chance to be complacent, so he changed the topic and asked him: "I heard that you got some Chinese ginseng, where are you?"

"Oh! By the way, you may not know that unlike American ginseng in the United States, authentic Ji-Lin ginseng, I have a friend from Hong Kong who went to the mainland of China to do business, and asked him to buy wild ginseng seedlings from ginseng farmers, and they have not died yet.

It took more than ten days to send them, and I have to plant them quickly, it stands to reason that Montana and Jilin Province are similar in latitude, and they can be grown there, and they should be able to do it here, and Westerners do not worship ginseng like we Chinese, but they also regard it as a precious food.

It contains high nutrients, and ginseng deep-processed products such as cosmetics and skin care products have become very popular in the United States in recent years, and I think there should be a market. ”

Only Dani was white, and seeing Han Xuan staring at her, she spread her hands and said, "Indeed, but I know that the growth period of this kind of thing is longer than that of American ginseng, and it takes decades or hundreds of years, so it is very expensive to sell, and we will not see it in our lifetime." ”

Hearing her say this, Han Xuan also remembered the growth period of ginseng, which only grows for a few years, and the effect of ginseng is not as good as that of radish, and it is estimated that it can only be sold to make cosmetics and other deceptions.

When I went out to another greenhouse, more than 60 small ginsengs of about five centimeters wrapped in mud were spread on the ground.

The leaves were a little dry, and the safflowers on the top had turned dark red, so Lewis picked them up, put them in a small box, and said, "That's it, it cost more than ten thousand dollars, and I had a few packets of seeds with me." ”

"Well, these small wild ginseng should be left in the wild as ornamental plants, no need to apply chemical fertilizer, maybe when I am old, they will be able to grow up, and when the time comes, it can be of some use to dig it out, as for those seeds, you can also plant those seeds, there is a great demand in Japan and South Korea, plant some ginseng and sell it to them." ”

"I think so too, American American ginseng and wild ginseng take 18 months to mature, but it's too cheap, the price can be sold for about $400 a kilogram, and there are people in other parts of Montana who grow it, and the market is small, so it doesn't make much money.

Only Asian ginseng varieties have high added value, and people in Southeast Asia and East Asia know this, and the effect is not clear, but ginseng is indeed very marketable, and it is more cost-effective than growing cabbage. ”

Han Xuan grabbed a small ginseng and began to peel the mud, he didn't pay attention to breaking a few ginseng whiskers, adding mud five centimeters long, peeling it off was only the size of a small thumb, and smiled speechlessly, this thing will definitely not be worth more than 10,000 dollars, and asked in his mouth: "How long does it take to grow ginseng artificially?"

"The growing season is about five years, more than 100 grams" Lewis turned on the faucet and washed his hands, drove the two of them to a valley, found a cedar forest, and picked a random place to plant ginseng.

Picking up the fallen leaves of the cedar tree, turning over the soil more than ten meters apart, and sprinkling a few white seeds, Lewis did not understand the cultivation technique, so he could only follow the American ginseng planting method.

After they left, they didn't see the leaves of these wild ginseng seedlings, which instantly regained their luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some of the dried flowers gradually turned red...... (To be continued.) )
