Chapter 74: This is High Technology

Chen Wenchuan is indeed looking for some experts in farming, and the work of sowing seeds is easy for them. With the efforts of six people, a full 20 acres of land have been sown in two days.

In addition to the green leafy vegetables, varieties such as cauliflower, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green beans are all sown on demand, which is relatively much more work-intensive. Therefore, the high efficiency of the workers is enough to make Li Yuan satisfied.

Of course, the reason why everyone has such a high efficiency is not only Chen Wenchuan's constant supervision, but also the high salary offered by Li Yuan. Chen Wenchuan found some honest people, and they all felt that since they had received such a high salary, they should work harder. The combination of these two reasons is what makes for such an astonishing rate of sowing.

In fact, if Li Yuan hadn't ordered to sow 20 acres first, everyone would have been able to sow seeds on more than 50 acres of vegetable greenhouses within a week. Therefore, everyone also felt strange that Li Yuan obviously had so much land, but he only used such a little.

In fact, Li Yuan also has bitterness and can't say it. I thought about the problem of funds before, but I ignored the speed at which the peach pit produced gold beads. According to the current situation, peach pits can only produce three gold beads every seven days. Even if Li Yuan had consciously reduced the amount of gold beads in the vegetable garden, he had only saved six gold beads for so many days.

Although the gold bead is magical, its effectiveness is always limited. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on such a little gold bead to grow more than 50 acres of land. Li Yuan could only reduce the planting area first, wait for the peach pits to generate gold beads again, and then slowly plant vegetables on the rest of the land.

After sowing more than 20 acres of land, Li Yuan began to water for the first time. When building the drip irrigation system, he asked the engineering team to install water pipes for each vegetable greenhouse, so that as long as different valves were opened, any vegetable greenhouse could be watered separately as needed.

Taking advantage of the fact that the others had already left work, Li Yuan came to the reservoir at the foot of the mountain alone, turned on the pumping machine and filled the pond with water. Although the reservoir also has tap water as a water source, it is more economical to pump water directly from the Ningxia River in the early autumn season, when the water is abundant.

As the pumping machine kept running, most of the water in the cistern was soon filled with water. According to Chen Wenchuan's previous estimates, this full pool of water can water about 40 acres of land, so most of this pond is enough for 20 acres of land.

"I hope it's not too exaggerated." Looking at the fairly clear river water in the reservoir, Li Yuan couldn't help but mumble to himself.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan poured out the six gold beads that had been saved for many days from the peach pit and threw them into the reservoir in one go.

When Li Yuan melted the gold beads in the glass before, he could still see a faint golden wisp in the cup at first. And in such a large reservoir, the six gold beads were completely a drop in the ocean, Li Yuan didn't find anything abnormal at all, and the gold beads that dissolved in the water disappeared into the pool water in a blink of an eye.

Li Yuan waited for a while, allowing the melted gold beads to have time to spread throughout the reservoir. Then he went to the next control room to operate the valve and water the field after the sowing was completed.

"No. 1 shed, No. 2 shed, No. 3 ......" Li Yuan silently read the number of the vegetable greenhouse that completed the sowing, and opened the corresponding valve at the same time.

The water of the Ningxia River, which had melted the golden beads, immediately flowed through an intricate system of pipes to the vegetable greenhouses. It didn't take long for the soil in the greenhouse, where the seeds had been sown, to become moist, as if it had rained a lot.

This is also the first time that Li Yuan has poured water that melts gold beads into the field through the drip irrigation system, so he does not dare to be too careless. He waited by the cistern until it was empty, and then ran down to check on the greenhouse.

Li Yuan carefully looked around the 20 acres of land that had just been watered and was very satisfied with the effect of the drip irrigation system. All the land has been watered to the fullest, indicating that the drip irrigation system is working well and fully meets Li Yuan's requirements.

This result made Li Yuan very pleased, and he felt that the money was really not spent in vain. After all, relying on manpower to water the water that melted the gold beads was really laborious and inefficient. At present, Li Yuan has more than 90 acres of land, and it is completely unrealistic to rely only on manpower to irrigate it.

Now that there is a drip irrigation system that can accurately water the land, coupled with greenhouses that can grow vegetables in winter, Li Yuan is also full of confidence in the future. I believe that with these facilities and the magic of the golden beads, I can show my skills in this industry and become the top vegetable supplier of high-end hotels and restaurants.

In the next two days, Li Yuan rushed to the vegetable base early in the morning to check the germination of seeds. For his impatient behavior, everyone, including Chen Wenchuan, felt a little funny.

Even if it's still a warm early autumn, the seeds won't germinate so quickly, and it will take at least a week or so. What's more, Li Yuan asked to scatter the seeds directly in the field, which would further delay the germination time. According to Chen's speculation, it will take about ten days for green leafy vegetables to sprout, and seeds such as cucumbers and tomatoes will take even longer.

However, just when everyone felt that Li Yuan was too eager, the truth surprised them. On the third day after watering the land for the first time, the field where the seeds of green leafy vegetables were sown showed a few green shoots!

This surprised Chen Wenchuan and the old vegetable farmers, no one expected that these seemingly ordinary vegetable seeds would germinate so quickly. So much so that these old farmers, who have been planting for decades, are all like looking at diormas, gathering at the edge of the field to observe these newly grown seedlings, and they are all amazed.

Chen Wenchuan even lay on the edge of the field to carefully observe these seedlings, and praised them again and again: "Tsk, have you found it, these seedlings were unearthed in the morning, and they have grown so tall in the afternoon." And the roots are green and spiritual, worthy of high-tech cultivation of new foreign varieties! ”

Others also nodded in agreement with Chen Wenchuan's statement, saying that they had never seen vegetables that emerged so quickly. These seedlings are also very strong, and it is expected that they will grow very well in the future. This also makes everyone very optimistic about Li Yuan's "imported vegetable varieties", and they are more confident in the future of the vegetable base.

Just a few days after the green leafy vegetables emerge, vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes also begin to sprout. So Chen Wenchuan and others once again made a difference for such a fast budding speed, and praised this is the power of high technology, which opened the eyes of the old farmers who have served the land for most of their lives.

In fact, Chen Wenchuan and the others didn't know, don't look at Li Yuan's calm appearance, but in fact, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly screamed in his heart, "It's dangerous."
