The southern area of Xiaolu Mountain has been included in the scope of expansion by Yunli, with nearly 50 acres of land, plus more than 30 acres of land that has been cultivated and planted, and the existing cultivated land area of Xiaolu Mountain will exceed 80 acres.

Coupled with the arid land in the north, the area of cultivated land that can be used in Xiaolu Mountain is more than 100 acres, not counting the surrounding mountain stalk areas and the hilly areas bordering Dalu Mountain.

Since the purchase of the small ripper, there is no need to ask the village farmers to help the soil turning the field, and the whole 50 acres of hilly land have been turned over and piled up into a field mound in less than a few days, and there is a very good rye meadow in the middle, which has been retained as a supply of organic fertilizer. This work is all done by Xu Lin, usually nothing else, he likes to drive around in a dump truck, Lu Ci once said that he is wasting diesel fuel, and there is a suspicion of drunk driving, but Yun Li didn't say anything, so he let him go.

The pergolas of the eight acres of cherry tomatoes have been erected one after another, and as the temperature warms up, flower buds have grown on the plants, and the situation is quite good.

The 20 acres of potato fields were harvested last week, and now new potato seedlings have been planted. Maybe it's because of the season, when this batch of potatoes is planted, it's not in the best season, so the yield this time has not improved much, and the quality is the same, but it's already quite good, and now this potato field has become the most stable source of income for Yunli.

At the southernmost ridge, the two rows of papayas planted last summer are now taller than a man, bearing finger-sized papaya boys, but there is still a long way to go.

The 50 acres of land that were expanded were planted with corn in the Yunli plan, and the corn seedlings were purchased from Feng Yisong's company, and 5,000 seedlings were needed for one acre of land, and 250,000 corn seedlings were planted in the entire 50 acres of land.

In the farmer's market here, a bundle of 20 ordinary corn seedlings costs about four yuan, and if you buy a large quantity, you can negotiate the price, while in a professional greenhouse company, the price is higher, and of course the varieties are better. For this batch of corn seedlings, Feng Yisong only collected 50,000 yuan, and he could give half of it first, and the other half, and then make up for it after the harvest.

This has helped Yun Li a lot, recently because of the expansion of farming, the labor expenditure is not a small amount, although the harvest of the twenty acres of potato land, so that Yun Li has returned a sum of money, but now there are a lot of miscellaneous items to be spent, and he has to count every amount of money to use.

In fact, he could have bought corn seeds to replace the seedlings, so the investment would be much smaller, but after thinking twice, Yunli still used seedlings to plant. Although it is a lot of investment, it grows faster and greatly shortens the harvest time, which is more beneficial for him who has electromagnetic power.

It turned out to be Feng Jiaqi and an employee of their company who sent corn seedlings, but Feng Yisong did not come. You don't have to think about it to know that Feng Jiaqi came for Lu Ci, but Lu Ci didn't seem to be interested in him at all, and repeatedly asked Yun Li to be a shield, which made Yun Li feel helpless.

With the help of the farmers, it took two days to plant 50 acres of corn seedlings. As for why he planted corn instead of potatoes or other crops that he was good at, Yunli had his own considerations.

First of all, although the water diversion project has been done and the effect seems to be good, the rainfall is not artificially controllable, and the number of previous years can only be used as a reference, and no one can guarantee that this year's rainfall will be the same as last year's. In case of the dry season, there will be problems with the water supply and irrigation of these 50 acres of land, so the crops selected for planting must be drought tolerant.

On the other hand, due to long-term abandonment, the fertility of these 50 acres of land is very poor, the soil composition is single, and the ecology is very fragile. Therefore, Yunli chooses to plant corn crops, which are adaptable, stubborn and drought-tolerant, and a very important point is that Yunli should use their grown straw to deploy another green organic fertilizer to improve the fertility of the entire Xiaolushan land and lay the foundation for the future planting plan.

In the five-acre experimental field, Yunli planted several new crops in it, all of which were imported varieties and were rare in the local area.

And on the side of Jifangyuan, Yunli finally harvested the first batch of strawberry fruits, and last time after Feng Yisong's guidance, Yunli improved the nutrient solution preparation method, and the results were really obvious. Now the latest batch of strawberries are ripe according to the fruit, but the taste is not very good, there is no sweet and sour taste of ordinary strawberries, and it is light and juicy.

After eating the strawberries, Lu Ci also shook her head again and again, she was still looking forward to the ripening of the strawberries, but the result disappointed her. Hydroponics is different from traditional planting, and the knowledge and experience in it are not something that can be understood in a short time, which is very clear, so there is no hurry, and slowly move forward at your own pace.

As for the thousand-year-old red robe tea tree, the situation has not improved, nor has it deteriorated, and it is only a matter of time before it dies. Recently, Brother Chen almost as soon as he has free time, he will come to Xiaolushan to check the condition of the tea tree, seeing that Yunli is also at a loss, Brother Chen did not say anything unlucky, and comforted Yunli and said that it is already good to be able to stabilize this state, but on his face, it is obvious that he can see the disappointment.

In fact, Yunli did not find nothing, after this period of observation, he had roughly grasped the reason for the withering of the tea tree.

This superb wild Dahongpao mother tree originally grew in the rock crevices of Wuyi Mountain, rain and dew mountain springs, less sun and fog, soil and rocks, this is the environment it has been in for thousands of years. After being transplanted away, no matter how it is imitated, it is difficult to achieve its original growth environment, especially the condition of its rocks, due to the lack of effective supplementation for many years, the calcium of the rock minerals that originally existed in its body hardened, affecting the normal function of the plant, and the current situation will appear.

Therefore, in order to solve the dry condition, it is necessary to extract these calcium-hardened rock minerals to make the tea tree function back to function, and the problem can be solved naturally.

But if this is done, this thousand-year-old wild Da Hong Pao mother tree will lose its unique rock minerals, and even if it can survive, its characteristics will slowly change, and it will no longer have the characteristics that Da Hong Pao is proud of, and it cannot be expected to produce excellent tea leaves, or transplant pure sub-tea trees.

It wasn't difficult to complete the task of keeping it alive, but for Yunli, not being able to keep it intact would be a failure, so he planned to use another method. This method was formulated by him after mastering the light bird, combined with his previous experience in hydroponics, and this time he happened to use this thousand-year-old Dahongpao tea tree to test it.

This method is not complicated, it is to decompose and activate the rock minerals in the tea tree by electrolysis, so that it can be rejuvenated, and these unique rock minerals can be retained.

There are three major difficulties in this method, one of which is that the electrolysis must be carried out in a solution environment, which means that the tea plant must be transferred from the mud pot to the nutrient solution for cultivation. This process is a huge challenge for the already fragile tea plant, and Yunli must ensure that the nutrient solution is properly dispensed, so that the tea tree can quickly switch from the soil environment to the nutrient solution environment. If you can't adapt to it, you can declare it a failure before the electrolysis treatment begins.

Second, the electrolysis course needs to be carried out many times, and Yunli can't predict the specific number of times, which should be adjusted in combination with the condition of the tea tree itself and the actual effect of electrolysis, which is the same as chemotherapy for cancer patients.

The last point, which is also the most difficult place for Yunli, with the current situation of the tea tree, in the process of electrolysis, it must excrete some rock minerals in its body to maintain the function of the tea tree. There is no reference for this step, and the electromagnetic force cannot accurately sense the amount of each element in the tea tree, and Yunli can't pick a leaf every once in a while to try the taste, so to speak, it is all up to God's will.

The preparation of the nutrient solution is very smooth, the red rock sand and stalactites in the original pot are the best nutrients that constitute the growth environment of the tea tree.

When transplanting to the nutrient solution, Brother Chen specially bought some incense candles, and after worshipping the mountain gods, the two of them started to carefully wash the roots of the tea tree and transfer them to the nutrient solution prepared by Yunli. In order to achieve a better effect, Yunli also asked Chen Lao Ge to make a high wooden basin to hold the nutrient solution and place the tea trees, and put it in the small hall on the third floor of the bamboo building.

When he first heard about this restoration plan, Brother Chen almost had to pinch Yunli's neck, and he also planted some potted tea trees, although he had never been exposed to hydroponics, but he also knew how whimsical this plan was. Of course, he didn't know that Yun Li had the ability of electromagnetic force, and after thinking about it for several days, he finally agreed to let Yun Li implement it, and there was no other way but to pin his hopes on Yun Li.

The process of transplanting was very smooth, and after staying in the nutrient solution for a period of time, the tea tree did not have any problems, it was the same as before, which made Brother Chen feel at ease, and Yunli also began to implement electrolysis treatment.

After mastering the light bird, in addition to the obvious improvement of the basic ability, the electromagnetic force also has a new characteristic, that is, to make foreign objects lighter. Yunli has experimented with injecting a large amount of electromagnetic force into the wood, and then picking it up, you can feel that the weight of the wood will become lighter, although it is not too obvious, but this effect does exist. Moreover, this process can only last for a short time, and as soon as the electromagnetic force is exhausted, the foreign object will immediately return to its original weight.

This effect also has a great effect on plants. Plants almost always grow upwards, and in this process, it is necessary to divide energy to overcome the influence of gravity, and the more energy is separated, the worse the growth will be. Especially those soft dry plants, during the growth process, if there is an accident, it is easy to grow into deformities, and there is also a reason for building a trellis for those cherry tomatoes.

Now that there is the effect of the light bird, it will have a better effect when used in planting crops, and Yunli also plans to use the light bird in the wood magnetic array to enhance the effectiveness of the formation.
