Chapter 196: Pumpkin Blossom
Sent Lu Qishan away, another old acquaintance came closely, Feng Yisong came to check the growth of various seedlings, as well as the strip forest in Dalu Mountain, which is now being laid with an irrigation system, and is expected to be planted and used soon, he came to discuss the supply of seedlings with Yunli this time.

There was also Feng Jiaqi with him, Yun Li hadn't seen this guy for a long time, he had come to the manor a lot of times, but he had been out a lot recently, and he basically didn't meet him much. I got news from other employees that this guy had shifted his target, probably because he felt that it was too difficult to chase Lu Ci, and he had never shown him a good face, so he turned the target to Xu Xiangjiao.
Xu Xiangjiao looks pure and lovely, it is natural to have suitors, and she has a gentle and considerate personality, and rarely refuses other people's requests, even if she resists in her heart, she will always put on a smiling and welcoming expression, which makes Feng Jiaqi feel very funny, and she has been giving her gifts diligently these days.
This matter has been bothering Xu Xiangjiao recently, and the manor has a lot of business with Feng's Greenhouse Company, and the two have a lot of exchanges at work, Feng Jiaqi used this opportunity to pursue her, which made Xu Xiangjiao feel very helpless.
In fact, Feng Jiaqi is not too bad, at least not the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but he is too self-centered in his way of doing things, and his arrogant temperament makes it quite difficult to get along with, which is not very compatible with Xu Xiangjiao's character, but this matter is not manageable, if Xu Xiangjiao really doesn't like it, then she must learn to refuse by herself, instead of blindly giving in and greeting.
Everyone knows that she has this trouble, when Gu Yixin was still there before, he and Shen Hong could take turns to help Xu Xiangjiao block harassment, but after Gu Yixin returned to school, Shen Hong was too busy, which gave Feng Jiaqi a lot of opportunities. As soon as he came to the manor, he left his uncle and went directly to the office building to find Xu Xiangjiao, which made Feng Yisong feel helpless, but he could only let him go.
After seeing the growth of various seedlings and writing down the records, the two shifted the focus to the strip woodland, Feng Yisong and Yunli are the same researchers, and like to explore things at a deeper level and from multiple angles, so the two can talk about it like this, but Yunli doesn't have to record everything by himself now, there are corresponding employees to share this matter, and he has time to look through the work records to know the growth of crops.
"The replacement of fruit tree seedlings is underway, and after the irrigation system is erected, the 200 acres of cultivated land here can also be put into use, here used to be a gully area, is developing in the direction of the tea plantation, and then it is all high-slope woodland, I plan to use the pattern of terraces to transform this high slope, then there will be a larger space in the cultivation choice, and the development direction of the whole Dalushan is like this." The two came to the ribbon woodland area, and Yunli introduced the development plan of the entire Dalu Mountain to Feng Yisong.
"It's quite an idea, the model of forest and cultivation is very suitable here, so that the land of Xiaolu Mountain and Xiaolu Mountain has basically been developed, and then it is time to go to Banlu Mountain, but this is a primitive ecological mountain, and it may not be realistic to develop like this big and small deer mountain." Feng Yisong expressed his opinion.
Yun Li nodded and said: "There is no specific development plan on the Banlu Mountain, for the time being, the passage into the mountain will be paved first, and then find some suitable wasteland to plant fruit forests. ”
"Then what are you going to plant in this strip of woodland, won't you plant okra again, I just took a look at the okra on the side of the hills, and it grows quite well, but it is still too early to say whether there will be good results in the end, after all, the fertility of these lands is not enough, and it is too reluctant to rely on special fertilizers to supplement, so my opinion is better to be conservative." Feng Yisong suggested.
When Yunli decided to plant all the okra on the side of the mountain, Feng Yisong had warned him not to take risks, but in the end Yunli still came according to his own wishes, seeing that the growth of okra is good now, Feng Yisong was also a little comforted in his heart, and at the same time greatly admired Yunli's ability.
"There are a few alternatives, but they haven't been finalized yet, and you know that everything is good here, but the traffic is still very blocked, so we can only choose those crops that are resistant to storage and transportation, preferably those with long plant life and more harvest periods, you can give me some ideas." Yunli asked for advice.
"I think you can try more other varieties, and when the land on the high slope is developed in the future, large-scale planting can be realized, and the production of the manor will be enriched, and then the Banlu Manor will really be called a vegetable and fruit manor." Feng Yisong replied, but did not give Yunli a clear variety suggestion.
"My thoughts are the same, I plan to use the land on the side of Xiaolu Mountain to grow cherry tomatoes, and the potato field will gradually be transferred to this side, in addition to purple eggplant, tomatoes, green beans and other common vegetables and fruits I am interested in planting a piece, the problem of soil quality can be supplemented with fertilizer for the time being, I believe that after several batches of transformation, the soil here will be greatly improved." Yunli said freely.
Feng Yisong nodded and praised: "Now you are a big expert in this area, just plan according to your own wishes, as for what you can help with, even if you ask me, it is also my honor to contribute to such a manor, and sooner or later this place will become an existence comparable to the world-famous manor." ”
"Don't lift me up like this, there is still a long way to go from the goal, and agricultural products alone cannot make the estate go further, and it is bound to diversify in other directions in the future, the road ahead is unpredictable, and the development trend outside is so fierce, if you don't want to miss the opportunity, you can't slow down, and the burden is getting heavier and heavier." Yun Li felt and said.
The development of the manor has been a great success in both planting and breeding, but it seems to have entered a bottleneck period, his goal is not to build Banlu Manor into an agricultural empire, but an ideal manor, which needs to be supported by richer content to go further, which is also a problem that Yunli needs to consider urgently, and it is only with a confidant and friend like Feng Yisong that he will express his chest and vent the bitterness in his heart.
Feng Yisong patted Yunli on the shoulder and said: "In the past, when I went to the countryside to investigate, I often encountered this kind of confusion, the more I thought about it, the more upset I became, at this time, it is best to shift the goal and put all my energy into how to make a table of delicious food, let's go, I will get something different for you to eat for lunch today." ”
"It makes sense, I'll give you a hand, make the meatballs you made last time again, I haven't eaten it for so long, my heart is itchy, and the taste of other people's cooking is very different from yours, by the way, teach me the unique secret." Hearing that Feng Yisong was going to cook in person, Yun Li immediately became interested, he had a few specialty dishes that were the only one, and he couldn't eat this kind of taste in a big hotel.
"Let's come over to the pumpkin patch first, let's go get some different ingredients, and when you're done with my lunch, I'll make sure you don't have any worries." Feng Yisong said confidently, walked in front and beckoned Yunli to follow, Yunli didn't know what ingredients he was going to find, half of the diced pumpkin hadn't come out in the pumpkin field yet, but he still followed quickly.
In the 100 acres of land in the hollow, corn and pumpkin occupy half of each, and corn is planted in the outer layer of the depression, and both kinds of pumpkins are planted in the inner layer.
Two kinds of pumpkins are space lantern pumpkin and small pumpkin, space lantern pumpkin was originally planted by Feng Yisong's recommendation, this kind of pumpkin grows fast, good appearance, many hotel restaurants like to use it to make pumpkin dishes, very popular, and if the growing conditions are suitable, this kind of pumpkin can grow to dozens of catties or even more than 100 catties, and the economic benefits are quite good.
The other is a kind of green-skinned pumpkin, which is planted in many places, not big, generally only two or three pounds in weight, the planting conditions are relatively harsh, and the yield is not high, but the taste is quite good, and the nutritional value is very high, highly respected, and the economic value is higher than the space lantern pumpkin.
Fifty acres of land, of which forty acres are used to plant green-skinned pumpkins, and space lantern pumpkins only occupy ten acres of land, because they are to be supplied to Mingyi Hotel, so they are all planted in batches and intervals, but the shelf life of pumpkins is very long, so there is no need to divide too many batches.
The first batch of pumpkin seedlings have now grown into a cluster of green vines, and some vine leaves have orange-yellow flowers on them, these flowers will not bear fruit, they are pumpkin vines that bloom in advance, and when the vines grow a little more and store enough nutrients, they will produce flowers that can bear fruit.
The two of them explored around in the vine field, looking for those pumpkin flowers that have not yet been stretched out to pick, Feng Yisong explained: "This pumpkin flower is also called a gourd flower, people who know how to eat it can turn it into an excellent delicacy, these pumpkin flowers can not bear fruit, just can be picked and eaten, it is best to find those with buds to be released, those that have bloomed are not so tender, and the taste and taste are much worse." ”
"Pumpkin flowers can eat this, I know, but I don't know how to do it, today it's up to the professor to teach your ability." Yunli moved quickly, and soon picked many thumb-sized pumpkin flowers that had not yet bloomed, and packed them in small bamboo baskets that he picked up casually.
"Pumpkin flowers can be eaten, so have you heard that pumpkin vines can be eaten?" Feng Yisong also picked some and put them in the small bamboo basket, seeing that the number was about the same, he discussed with Yun Li the ingredients of another part of the pumpkin plant.
"Pumpkin vines can also be eaten? I've never heard of this, which part should I eat? Yunli said curiously.
"This part of the soft vine, although its epidermal fibers are very dense, rough and bristles, but with boiling water, you can tear off the outer skin, leaving the delicate stems inside to eat, very fresh and smooth, there are a lot of methods, you will have to taste it later." Feng Yisong explained.
