Chapter 0064: The First Harvest of the Farm

Zeng Cheng shuttled on the sidewalks between the farms, letting the warm autumn sun shine on his body. In September and October, the temperature in the mountains is the most suitable. Even if the sun is shining, the temperature will not exceed 30 degrees.

Next to the sidewalk is the land of the farm, and the greenhouses are distributed on the terraced soil, which looks quite imposing.

Zeng Cheng was not the only one shuttling back and forth on the sidewalk, but also several people carrying dung buckets, walking quickly or slowly. They are farm workers recruited by Zeng Cheng and are fertilizing various vegetable seedlings on the farm.

These workers are all villagers in the village, and most of them are relatives of Zeng Cheng. After all, sixty or seventy percent of the people in this village are surnamed Cheng, and the other half who are not surnamed Cheng are all the other half of the people surnamed Cheng.

For the time being, Zeng Cheng only recruited eight long-term farm workers, all of whom were selected by Zeng Cheng's parents from more than 1,000 people in the village, and all of them were the kind of people who could not cheat and cheat, and were hardworking and willing to work.

Of course, Zeng Cheng's salary for them is not low, 1,500 a month, even if they do the hardest and most tiring work on the construction site in the city, it is at most this salary. Their job is much easier than on a construction site. Except for the heavy work of fertilizing vegetables, everything else is not considered tiring. The main thing is to weed, remove insects, water or something in the vegetable field, watering is not a physical job, because the greenhouse is installed with an automatic watering system, they only need to unscrew the faucet, and they can easily complete this work.

Because it is a green pollution-free vegetable card, it is strictly forbidden to use pesticides in Zeng Cheng's farm, and the pesticides are all pollution-free insecticides. And these pollution-free pesticides are all locally sourced and come from farms.

Mash the garlic cloves, stir with water, and spray the filtrate to aphids and spider spiders.

Fresh green onions are mashed into a puree and sprayed with water extraction solution to control aphids and mollusc pests.

Add 30~35 times of water to fresh chili peppers, heat for half an hour, and spray the filtrate, which can effectively control aphids, ground tigers, red spiders and other pests.

Mash the fresh loofah, stir with 20 times water, and spray the filtrate to control cabbage worms, aphids, red spiders and vegetable borer pests.

Mash the fresh cucumber vines with a little water and filter the residue, and spray them with 3~5 times of water with the juice that is controlled, and the effect of controlling cabbage worms and cabbage borers is very good.

These simple and practical methods can remove almost all pests that may appear on the farm. Of course, if these methods can't get rid of pests, then only through guò manual pesticide control, anyway, pesticides can't be used.

Each of these workers is responsible for about fifteen acres of vegetable fields, but they can take care of it without being too tired.

When Zeng Cheng met a worker, the man greeted him: "Zeng Cheng, come and have a look in the field?"

The worker who greeted Zeng Cheng was called Cheng Peihe, a cousin of his mother Cheng Yan, Zeng Cheng wanted to call him the third uncle, he was fifty-three years old this year, don't look at his age, but he was much better at work than many young people. is very honest, so the first person Zeng Cheng's family decided to recruit was him.

Zeng Cheng nodded, smiled and said, "Yes, third uncle, you're busy." I see that these lettuce, bok choy and pea sprouts are all rising very well, and they are almost ready to be cooked, right?"

In the area that Cheng Peihe is in charge of, the main vegetables are cabbage, lettuce and other leafy vegetables, and after nearly 20 days, these vegetables have grown very well. And these vegetables need to be tender, so you can start serving.

"Almost, I've heard that these baby bumps are worth a lot. Cheng Peihe said with a smile.

Zeng Cheng said: "It's okay, give it to the big hotel in the city, the price is expensive." ”

Regarding Zeng Cheng's signing of the contract with Yuemei Hotel, Zeng Cheng's family has not announced it to the public, so it is still in a state of secrecy.

After chatting casually, Zeng Cheng separated from Cheng Peihe and continued to inspect the farm. He found that there are many types of dishes that can be served now, in addition to the cabbage, lettuce, and pea tips he just saw, there are also spinach, coriander, chrysanthemum, leeks, shallots, garlic sprouts and so on. There are several of them that Zeng Cheng does not have in the Baicao space, and it seems that the special vegetables provided by the Yuemei Hotel and the Xianyuan Vegetable Supermarket can add new varieties.

Just when Zeng Cheng was thinking about whether to start providing new vegetable varieties tomorrow, there was a "Wangwang" dog barking from not far away. You don't need to look at Zeng Cheng to know that it was the two little guys Xiaohua and Xiaohei who came over.

More than half a month has passed, and the two puppies that Zeng Cheng brought home have grown up a lot. I don't know if it's because Zeng Cheng often feeds the two little ones purple jade honey, or because they eat food rich in aura every day, the two little guys obviously grow much faster than ordinary puppies. Looking at them now, they don't look like puppies that have just reached the full moon, but like dogs that have been born for two or three months, with a height of about 25 centimeters and a weight of not less than 10 kilograms.

The puppies at this time are the time of their lively temperament, and the two little ones are restless all day long, wandering around Zeng Cheng's farm. However, the two little ones are very spiritual, and they are also friendly to people, and will not bite anyone who does not show malice towards them. But if someone dares to show malice towards them, then you are unlucky, and they will definitely chase you without discussion.

The two little guys are especially close to Zeng Cheng, perhaps this has something to do with what they saw when they first opened their eyes. As long as Zeng Cheng was out of their sight for more than five minutes, the two little ones would follow his breath to find him.

Because of this incident, the two little ones even almost got lost once. That morning, when Zeng Cheng drove into the city to deliver food, he forgot to bring the two little ones. They chased all the way to Zeng Cheng's watermelon field, but because Zeng Cheng drove away, they couldn't smell Zeng Cheng's breath. This made the two little ones panic and look around aimlessly. If it weren't for the villagers who had worked in Zeng Cheng's house before and had seen the two little guys seeing them and sending them back, maybe the two little guys would have become someone else's meal.

Since that day, the two little guys have followed Zeng Cheng more closely, and will hardly let Zeng Cheng out of their sight. Even if Zeng Cheng drove into the city to deliver food, they would follow the car, which made Zeng Cheng very helpless. Therefore, every time he drives, the two little ones will hardly leave the passenger seat.
