Chapter 13 Plant some turnips

After completing the contract and contract fee, Xu Zhen put all his mind on the lemon orchard of about 100 acres. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info have completely relaxed my mind at home these days, and the feeling of discomfort in my body has been eliminated a lot. I feel that the whole person is much better!

It may be that Liu Qiang has long had a plan to run away, or he has already broken the capital chain before, and he has lost confidence in managing lemons. Although the lemons look still green, they are actually neglected and a lot of the pruning and weeding work has not been done!

These two-year-old lemon trees do not have many branches, they are not yet tall, they have not yet borne fruit, and they have not reached adulthood, and there is still a large gap between the trees.

Because I was worried that the nutrient solution would be absorbed by these weeds, I had to remove the weeds in the lemon field before watering the nutrient solution.

With the strength of Xu Zhen and his mother, what year and month will he get rid of the grass of the more than 100 acres of lemon field?

"Go buy some herbs and give it a beat!" Lin Yue'e told Xu Zhen that she knew that other lemon fields also came over like this.

Xu Zhen shook his head, his lemon orchard refused to use any pesticides from now on!

To be honest, Xu Zhen's skills for planting lemons are still not up to par, he knows very little, and the only thing he relies on is the nutrient solution.

Fortunately, he has an artificial intelligence.

In fact, the AI knows far more than he thinks.

Artificial intelligence has a very comprehensive understanding of the cultivation technology of lemons or other crops, although the technology of the 21st century is very different from the technology of the 25th century.

But after all, the 21st century corresponds to the 25th century, which belongs to the more backward historical heap.

Xu Zhen went door-to-door in the village to ask idle farmers to help with weeding, and asked people to do these farm work, which was not very technical and not labor-intensive, and the general price here was 50 yuan a day, an eight-hour work system, and there was no food.

Xu Zhen promised to give everyone 60! They are all from the villagers' own families, and it is nothing to give an extra 10 yuan, besides, Xu Zhen thinks that even the price of the most ordinary labor force is quite low!

If nothing else, even his father can earn two hundred or three hundred a day on the construction site in the city! Because he did not sign a labor contract, Xu Zhen promised to work for everyone a day and get a day's money.

Knowing that Xu Zhen gave money and was happy to do it every day, he did all the work of weeding and plowing the ground, and he was all doing the work at hand, and some of the uncles and aunts who still had a little labor force in the society all carried hoes and sickles to work for Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen knew most of these people, so he recorded his names and told them the essentials of weeding.

"Elders, aunts, when weeding, it is best to dig out the grass roots, and then loosen and crush the soil, and I am ready to plant some radishes this season!"

"Turnips? The old man of the Xu family, radishes can't be sold for any price on our side! Last year, Liu Qiang gave the land to a vegetable grower, as if this boss had made some money! Besides, I'm afraid it's a little late to plant radishes at this time! "When a family heard that Xu Zhen wanted to plant radish, he persuaded him.

For Xu Zhen, planting radishes and vegetables all mean the same thing.

He knows that even if the nutrient solution is used, this year's lemons may not be able to bear fruit, and interplanting a season of vegetables can also test the miraculous effect of the nutrient solution, and there can also be a part of the income, which is completely feasible!

"Just plant turnips, turnips are easier to manage!"

People are bosses, how to do it, what to do, that's what the boss has the final say, and the big guy only admits to work! So, no one has any objections.

Every day, more than ten people weed and ploughed the ground, Xu Zhen also joined the team, he has not done farm work for many years, and finally feels that this work is quite tiring!

Especially when turning over the soil, waving the hoe makes me feel like my hands are about to fly out.

Fortunately, the season is not hot, and working in the fields is not sweaty except for some mosquitoes. It's all hands-on work, and it's impossible for Xu Zhen to urge everyone to work all the time.

After ten days of drying, less than half of the weeds in the more than 100 acres of lemon fields were removed.

For Xu Zhen to invest so much in weeding, the big guys don't understand. A few bottles of pesticides to solve the problem, why spend thousands to hire someone to weed by hand.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with some weeds in the lemon field, and these grasses simply cannot compete with the lemon trees for nutrients in the field.

But of course Xu Zhen can't tell them why! He just asked everyone to be sure to remove all the weeds, not even the roots.

Besides, because it is a lemon field with radishes, large-scale mechanized cultivation is also impossible, so you have to spend money on labor!

While asking these people to remove the weeds in the field, Xu Zhen had already sprinkled a large patch of radish seeds in the place where the weeds were removed.

Under the urging of the nutrient solution, in a few days, the radish seedlings can be transplanted, which is half the time faster than the radish seeds planted by ordinary farmers, which makes the big guy feel surprised, and Xu Zhen also explained that this is a different seed.

After all, these speeds are not fast enough to be perverted, and the big guy believes his explanation.

Xu Zhen asked some people to help transplant the radishes into the turned lemon field.

It took nearly a month for the work to be completed.

The AI told him that the nutrient solution did not inhibit weeds and that it actually had the same effect on them, so the only way was to remove them by hand. Fortunately, even if these weeds rob the nutrient solution, it is only a very small part, and most of them will still be absorbed by the lemon tree.

Besides, it really can't be done, he can still spray the nutrient solution on the branches and leaves of the lemon tree, which is also very conducive to the absorption and utilization of lemons.

In fact, the weeds in the field cannot be removed, and these weeds have more tenacious life than crops.

Xu Zhen knew that this weeding work would be a long-term and arduous task!

He roughly calculated that there were more than 5,000 lemon trees in this lemon field of more than 100 acres.

The artificial intelligence helped him calculate that these lemon trees needed at least about 100 drops of nutrient solution. In other words, one drop of nutrient solution can only be absorbed by 50 or fewer lemon trees.

I have accumulated only 30 drops of nutrient solution for a month, and I used 20 drops when growing radishes.

You must know that in this 100 acres of lemon land, Xu Zhen sprinkled nearly a pound of radish seeds, and transplanted at least more than 10,000 holes and tens of thousands of radish.

For radishes, a very small crop, hundreds or thousands of trees can be improved per drop.

……

Considering that he could not sell his radish at one time at that time, and that it would be a bit of a loss to sell his radish at the price of an ordinary turnip. Therefore, Xu Zhen planted radishes into the soil one after another after a month in several batches. And it's a different variety of radish.

For Xu Zhen, planting lemons and radishes go hand in hand, and there is no such thing as putting the cart before the horse, because he has a nutrient solution.

If it were a normal situation, of course, lemons would be dominant.

When asking these uncles, aunts and aunts to help weed and plant radishes, Xu Zhen took some photos and took some videos, the purpose of which was to tell others that he really did not use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides for these radishes, and even weeding was done manually.

If the nutrition keeps up, generally speaking, radishes can be harvested in three to four months.

Because it was the first time to use the nutrient solution, coupled with the fertility of the soil and the degree of pesticide pollution, after a preliminary estimate by artificial intelligence, Xu Zhen's batch of radishes would take about two months to two and a half months to harvest.

This gives Xu Zhen enough time to manage Lemon!

At the beginning, a small piece of radish he experimentally planted grew well, and it could be harvested in less than half a month, and of course, now, it can actually be harvested and eaten. It's just that Xu Zhen feels that these radishes are not big enough. Harvesting it now is a great waste.

Still, he couldn't help but pull out a few to taste!

Whether it is eaten raw, boiled soup or made various dishes, the taste is quite comfortable, in the local dialect, it is Ba Shi Deban. He also specially bought a few radishes from the town and came back for comparison, whether it is the appearance of color or taste and nutrition, the radishes he grew with nutrient solution are far better.

This overjoyed him.
