Chapter 40: A thriving vegetable garden
Last time, Li Yuan only planted three tomatoes on a small scale in his yard. No matter what the tomatoes look like, don't worry too much about being discovered.
And this time, Li Yuan wants to plant three or four acres of land, and many people, including Lao Liao and Zhao Qian's family, know about it, if the vegetables still grow so exaggerated, he will be in big trouble.
After careful consideration, Li Yuan decided to start watering all the vegetables with just one golden bead. This should make the growth rate of the vegetables less exaggerated and avoid attracting the attention of others.
Li Yuan first dissolved the gold beads in a bucket of water, then diluted them with more water, and finally watered the acres of vegetable fields that had been sown.
Because to ensure that the water dissolved in the gold beads evenly irrigates all the land, Li Yuan also spent a lot of work. He had prepared large and small kettles and wooden buckets in advance, and was very careful when watering, lest one negligence might lead to some astonishing vision, and he might be in trouble.
To Li Yuan's satisfaction, the watering process went very smoothly. The water that has dissolved the gold beads is evenly poured into the ground, and the next thing is to wait and see how it works.
It turns out that even after a large amount of diluted gold beads, the effect on the plant is still very obvious. When Li Yuan went to check on the situation the next day, he found that the flat vegetable field had already appeared with dots of green -- the vegetable seeds had already begun to germinate.
"Tsk...... It's not as fast as the previous tomatoes, but it's good enough. Li Yuan, who saw this scene, was very happy and more confident in the future.
Over the next few days, various varieties of vegetables grew at an astonishing rate. I haven't been here for a week, and all the leafy vegetables are nearly two inches tall. The tomato seedlings have grown to more than half a foot tall, and the cucumbers and green beans have grown tender green whiskers, and they need to find a place to climb.
So Li Yuan bought a lot of thin bamboo poles and built them into a tall shelf for cucumbers and green beans to climb. In addition, the tomato plant will be a little top-heavy after fruiting, and it will also need to be supported by thin bamboo poles. So Li Yuan decided to simply do all these jobs at once, so as to save the haste in the future.
The planting area of these three vegetables accounts for half of Li Yuan's small vegetable garden, so there are a lot of thin bamboo poles needed. If it was when he was strapped for money before, Li Yuan would definitely find a way to save this money and go to the nearby mountains to cut some small bamboos and come back.
However, after selling two wild ginseng sticks last time, Li Yuan's economic situation has improved significantly. Now he has nearly 100,000 yuan in his bank card, so he doesn't bother to cut bamboo by himself, but directly buys a large bundle back.
Knowing that it is not easy to cut so much bamboo, Li Yuan sighed while setting up a shelf: "Money is really a good thing, otherwise just cutting these bamboos will exhaust you to death!" β
Just when Li Yuan was working hard to build a shelf, Lao Liao also came to the vegetable garden, intending to see what kind of results his efforts had during this time.
When he saw that the sorted vegetable patch was already green, and the cucumbers and green beans had begun to climb the vines, the well-informed Lao Liao was also surprised.
At the beginning, Lao Liao also planted the land, and he still knew the growth rate of vegetables very well. Li Yuan has only been in ten days since he started to tidy up this vegetable field. Lao Liao thought that he could tidy up the land during this time, and the vegetable seeds would be very good. However, the vegetable garden was already a thriving scene, no wonder he was so surprised.
Seeing that Li Yuan was setting up a shelf in the cucumber field, Lao Liao immediately walked over with vigorous steps. He didn't dare to think that he could walk like this a few days ago, but now he is used to it.
Li Yuan, who was tying a bamboo pole, saw Lao Liao and asked him with a smile: "Yo, why are you here?" β
Lao Liao replied, "I just want to see how you are doing." β
"Welcome leaders to visit and guide the work!" So Li Yuan said with a smooth tongue: "How about it, give me some advice?" β
"You grow these vegetables...... Too fast, right? Lao Liao didn't have any opinions, but asked curiously: "What kind of fertilizer have you applied?" β
Li Yuan frowned and said: "Look at what you said, I grow organic vegetables, which are pure natural, green and environmentally friendly, and absolutely do not use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides!" β
Lao Liao asked with some disbelief: "Why can vegetables grow so fast?" β
"You're really old, and your memory is not good!" Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you, these are all new varieties of vegetable seeds provided by my friends, what's the big deal if they grow faster?" β
Speaking of this, Li Yuan looked around with satisfaction, and then asked Lao Liao with a smile: "You don't find anything other than these vegetables growing fast enough?" β
Being reminded by Li Yuan, Lao Liao looked at the vegetables around him again, and then nodded slowly: "In addition to growing fast, these vegetables also look good." Look at the green leaves, it's like spraying paint, such a large vegetable field, you can't even see a single yellow leaf, this is really strange! β
"What's so strange about this, it's obviously the power of high technology!" Li Yuan hurriedly corrected Lao Liao's statement, and then said triumphantly: "Now you finally know the reason why I chose this path." β
was so bluffed by Li Yuan, Lao Liao also believed that the reason why these vegetables grew so well was indeed the power of high technology. He looked at Li Yuan in front of him, nodded very gratifyingly: "You can find this way, you shouldn't have to worry about eating in the future, it's good!" β
"Look at your little bit of talent." Li Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "It's enough not to worry about eating?" I'm going to make a lot of money and achieve my life goals with this! β
Lao Liao snorted disdainfully, and hit Li Yuan without hesitation: "Is it your life goal of making a lot of money, having beautiful women to accompany you, building a big harem, and enjoying life all over the world, which can be achieved by growing some vegetables?" No kidding! β
"Old comrade, don't underestimate people!" Li Yuan said confidently: "It will only take two years at most, and you will know that I am not joking!" β
Li Yuan is very sure to say this, with the magical peach pit, he can turn decay into magic, and it is not a problem to achieve his life goals at all.
Of course, Lao Liao wouldn't believe it, and after taunting Li Yuan fiercely, he left the vegetable garden unhurriedly. But this is just the way the two get along, Li Yuan knows that in fact, Lao Liao is also happy for himself in his heart, but he is not good at expressing it.
Li Yuan was busy in the vegetable garden until the evening, but after dinner, he returned to the vegetable garden. In such a hot summer, the open vegetable garden is much cooler than Li Yuan's small yard, where he has spent the night in recent days.
At midnight, familiar points of light began to appear againβthis also reminded Li Yuan that seven days had passed, and it was time for the peach pit to absorb the aura. However, he soon discovered that this time the situation was markedly different from the previous ones.
