Chapter 89: Planting Flowers and Washing the Fish Pond
Orchids are herbaceous plants that prefer moist and shady environments and mostly grow underneath shrubs in valleys. Baiyun Mountain, located in the Jiangnan region, is very suitable for the growth of orchids, and orchids can often be seen on the mountains in the past. However, with the gradual rise of orchid fever, many people who do orchid business go up the mountain to dig orchids, and at the most exaggerated time, some people even drive trucks and wait at the foot of the mountain, pulling the whole truck of orchids out of the mountain. In the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer orchids in the mountains, and although the rarity of orchids is not as rare as that of Dendrobium, it is also very rare.
Xiao Ping searched for a long time on Baiyun Mountain, and finally found two orchids near a small stream. Both orchids are not very large, the green ones are narrow and long, and they don't look much different from weeds. And at this time, the orchids are not blooming, and it is really difficult to find them in the grass.
Thanks to Xiao Ping's knowledge about orchids before this, he saw many photos of orchids to discover them. If he hadn't done so much homework beforehand, Xiao Ping would definitely have missed these two orchids.
Xiao Ping carefully dug out the orchid with the small shovel he carried with him, put it in the back basket and returned to the farm. However, he did not immediately plant the orchid into the demon refining pot, but first put the orchid in a cool place where there was no sunlight and put it aside temporarily.
The purpose of this is to make the orchid contain less water. The root system of the orchid is a thick, fleshy root, which is very brittle when well hydrated, and can break if you are not careful when planting, resulting in transplantation failure. After a slight loss of moisture, the fleshy roots of the orchid become softer and less easily broken when planted. The freshly dug orchids were left to dry overnight, and by the next day, the brittle and easily broken fleshy roots had wilted a little, and they were finally ready for planting.
Xiao Ping took the orchid into the demon refining pot, planning to find a suitable place to plant it. Considering that orchids prefer a cool, moist environment, Xiao Ping decided to plant them under the already tall ginseng near the spring. It is both moist and shaded by ginseng, which is most suitable for the growth of orchids.
Don't look at the fleshy roots of the two orchids are already relatively soft, but if you are not careful when planting, it is still easy to break the roots. So Xiao Ping didn't dare to be careless, he dug a pit in the soft soil that was much larger than the root system of the orchid, first put an orchid into the pit gently, and then carefully put the soil back into the pit slowly. After putting some soil, Xiao Ping gently lifted the orchid up a little to facilitate the natural stretching of the root system. After repeating the same process several times, an orchid was finally successfully planted.
Xiao Ping still planted the second orchid, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he still has great hopes for these two orchids, and hopes to sell them at a good price at the Orchid Expo in a few months. Even if it can't be as exaggerated as selling nearly 20 million for one tree, Xiao Ping is already very satisfied that the two orchids can be sold for 10 million together.
"I'm from the mountains, with orchids and grass......" Xiao Ping, who had planted orchids, was in a good mood, humming that classic old song and washing his hands by the stream, and then went to inspect the situation of the demon refining pot as usual.
The dendrobium has grown very tall again, and Xiao Ping decided to come to harvest it once in two days, and when Wang Cannon comes to work after the Spring Festival, he can start to concoct it. The saury in the waterhole are in very good condition, swimming around the water lively, sometimes chasing the fodder fish in schools, sometimes floating to the surface to stir up clusters of splashes, which looks very leisurely.
Relatively speaking, Xiao Ping was a little worried about the saury fry. The fry had grown to more than two inches long, and the space that Xiao Ping had separated from the waterhole with his nets seemed a little cramped for them. Many of the fry are trying to swim out of the wider water with nets on their heads. This situation reminded Xiao Ping that he must raise the saury fry to the fish pond outside as soon as possible, otherwise these small fish will grow bigger and bigger, and soon exceed the capacity of the waterhole. When the time comes, not to mention that not a single fry will survive, not even the pair of breeding fish will not be able to be saved. …,
"When everyone officially goes to work tomorrow, the first thing is to move the fry first. Xiao Ping secretly made a decision and soon left the Demon Refining Pot.
The next day was the day when the farm workers officially went to work, and Xiao Ping gave everyone a lot of bonuses before the Spring Festival, so everyone had a very happy year. Now that we are back to work after the holidays, everyone's enthusiasm for work is very high. Hearing that Xiao Ping said that a batch of fish fry had been gotten and ready to go to the pond, everyone immediately took action to clean up the fish pond.
After the sea bass was sold out a few years ago, the water in the fish pond was completely drained. Originally, according to Xiao Ping's idea, he only needed to fill the pond with water. However, several workers who have raised fish have vigorously objected, saying that used fish ponds are not thoroughly disinfected, and they can easily spread various fish diseases. Before the fry arrive, the pond must be thoroughly disinfected.
Xiao Ping couldn't tell everyone that he didn't have to worry about any fish diseases with his own spiritual liquid, so he could only accept everyone's kindness. Anyway, it is also a good thing to disinfect the fish pond, and it will not have a bad impact on the fish fry. With Xiao Ping's consent, the workers began their work with enthusiasm.
When building the fish pond, Xiao Ping considered the possibility of using spiritual liquid to raise fish in the future. In order to avoid the loss of spiritual fluid caused by the leakage of the fish pond, the inner wall of the fish pond is paved with cement. Under the leadership of Wang Dacang, the workers all jumped into the fish pond and vigorously scrubbed the four walls and bottom of the fish with carbendazim solution. Everyone wiped the cement walls and bottom of the fish pond clean, leaving not even a single moss, and then pumped into the river to rinse the carbendazim solution clean. It is only after the last day that the fish pond is filled with water from the river, and then it is time to start fish farming in earnest.
These steps are cumbersome to say, and even more onerous to do. The two fish ponds in the farm are more than two acres in size, and everyone in Rao is hard work, even Xiao Ping joined in to help, and it took a whole day to complete the disinfection of the fish pond.
Wang Dacang, who had been busy all day, was also tired enough, but he was in a very happy mood, wiping the sweat on his forehead and saying to Xiao Ping: "Boss, you can officially raise fish tomorrow, so that the new fish fry will not be easy to get sick." ”
Xiao Ping wanted to tell others that even if the fish fry in the fish pond were not disinfected, they would not get sick. But seeing that everyone was tired and out of breath, he was embarrassed to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, so he had to shout to everyone: "It's really hard for everyone to do so much work on the first day of work." Let's all go home early and rest, thank you!"
Those who can work in the farm are honest people, and they all feel that since they have received such a high salary, they should be more tired and tired. So after listening to Xiao Ping's words, everyone said that this was their own work, and there was nothing to be thankful for, and then they went home to rest.
The next day, just after dawn, a figure appeared by the fish pond.
