Chapter 120: Cultivating Watermelon Seedlings

Watermelon breeding is more troublesome.

Li Yang: They first had to pick out the seeds they didn't like, then put them in a pot, pour in a certain concentration of potassium permanganate solution, soak them for twenty minutes, and then take them out and rinse them with water.

Then Li Yang soaked it in high-concentration spiritual water, soaked it for half an hour, took it out, wiped it clean with a dry towel, and then put it in the greenhouse for germination.

The germination temperature of watermelon is relatively high, at least at 25 degrees, so Li Yang specially chose a place with high temperatures, which lasted for a day and a half.

This is only the first step, and the next step is to select the sprouts.

After more than a day of high-temperature cultivation, Li Yang still had to pick out the germinated seeds, and the germination rate of the seeds soaked in spiritual water reached a terrifying 95%, which was about 20% higher than the normal germination rate.

The selected seeds must be left at a temperature of about eight degrees for ten hours, mainly to promote the growth of their germs.

During the germination of the seeds, Li Yang and his team began the work of the seedbed, mainly to arrange the ground hotline and control the temperature of the ground.

After the bud emerged, Li Yang and the others began to plant the germ at a certain distance, and then covered it with a white film to control the problem of the ground heat, so that the soil temperature was kept at about 25 degrees.

This matter was done by Li Yang and Yang Jin personally, and of course they did not bury the ground hotline of the five acres of land, so this kind of thing was naturally done by Tong Shan.

After the film was all covered, the thirty was almost over.

"Contact the saplings, and we will go down tomorrow," Li Yang commanded.

"Okay", Yang Jin followed Li Yang to get watermelon seedlings for two days, and he was also a little tired, but of course this kind of thing was done by his assistant, who let her get her salary.

Relatively speaking, she is already very satisfied with this working state, and she doesn't work every day, almost half the time she works, half the time she rests, and she eats well, lives well, and gets a salary of 5,000, where to find such conditions.

After dinner in the evening, Li Yang also went to check the temperature of the soil with a flashlight to see if there was any film that was not covered.

After coming back, Yang Jin found him and said that they had already been contacted, and after pulling the saplings tomorrow, they could go directly to Shunan to check on the bamboo the day after tomorrow.

"Where do you think it's better to plant the bamboo?" Li Yang asked.

"Of course, it's higher, the higher the better," Yang Jin said.

Li Yang nodded, that's right, one is to the sun, and the other is that it won't block the sunlight of the crops below.

Moso bamboo Li Yang is not ready to plant too much, he just thinks that moso bamboo is good, can be used to balance the local ecosystem, and like summer, the bamboo forest is the coolest time, so planting a batch of moso bamboo, in summer there is a good place to enjoy the shade.

"Then get out of the area below and plant a dozen acres of land," Li Yang said.

In addition to setting aside ten acres of land for his mother, watermelons and strawberries accounted for ten acres, and the preliminary plan for grapes was ten acres of land, and the rest of Li Yang was originally going to plant all fruit trees, but now it seems that there is no need to use so much land.

The fruit forest of thirty acres of land is already very large, and it has no choice in management, so Li Yang is ready to use thirty acres, and the remaining twenty acres of land are all planted with bamboo, so that there can be a bamboo forest.

Regarding Li Yang's decision, Yang Jin generally does not refute it, because Li Yang doesn't care how much it costs, as long as he can hit what he imagined.

"I have to remind you that moso bamboo is more watery in the early stage of planting," Yang Jin reminded.

Now it's about to enter April, the weather is starting to warm up, and according to the climate of Phoenix Mountain, it will start to rain less in June.

"Let's talk about it then, it's really not good, come up from the town to connect the water pipe," Li Yang said.

The problem of water is really the primary contradiction that plagues Lishu Village, and only when this problem is completely solved can Lishu Village really consider the development of things.

There are only two possibilities for the final solution, first, to receive water from the reservoir in Zhenlong Mountain, and second, to receive water from the town.

Li Yang shook his head helplessly and said, "There are too many things, let's finish what is in front of you first."

Yang Jin smiled and nodded, and then kept looking at Li Yang.

"What for?" Li Yang stared at her in surprise.

"I found a problem," Yang Jin said with a smile.

"What's the problem? Could it be that I've become handsome lately? Li Yang said with a smile.

"Almost, really, haven't you noticed that you seem to have endless energy, you have been so tired for the past two days, you are like someone who has nothing to do", Yang Jin said in surprise, "Don't you feel tired?" ”

Li Yang smiled and said, "Are you tired?" Anyway, I really don't feel tired."

In fact, in his heart, Li Yang was thinking about the cultivation at night, this matter was not known to Lin Xue until now, he took advantage of Lin Xue to fall asleep and cultivate at night for a while.

It's only been a few days, is it really that good? Li Yang was a little strange, whether such a change was brought about by the spiritual water during this period of time or the effect of the string of Dao beads and cultivation, Li Yang was a little unclear.

Li Yang shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the wooden house.

"What a pervert", seeing Li Yang walking away, Yang Jin muttered.

"Don't speak ill of me behind your back, be careful that I deduct your salary", Li Yang suddenly turned around and said.

"No, you can hear it from so far away", Yang Jin smiled reluctantly, and hurriedly returned to the wooden house, ready to wash and rest.

On the 31st, Li Yang was about to go down the mountain with Yang Jin to buy saplings, and before that, he found Liu Yunqing and asked him to ask the villagers to help plant trees.

Ten dollars for a tree, how many count.

Liu Yunqing did not have the slightest bargaining for Li Yang's request, this is to generate income for the village, ten yuan for a tree, and it is no problem for a person to plant a dozen or so trees a day.

What's more, in the middle, the village committee will commission one yuan as public funds, which will be counted as the introduction fee in the middle, of course, this money will eventually be used for the construction of Lishu Village.

After breakfast, Li Yang and Yang Jin went down the mountain and drove the Wrangler to the village primary school opposite Lijia Village.

This is their destination, on the way to the primary school, both sides are planted with fruit tree saplings, dozens of acres of fruit tree saplings.

The boss is a rural man in his forties, and this batch of fruit seedlings has been close to two years, strictly speaking, it is no longer a sapling, and it will bear fruit in two years at most, and maybe the fruit will be available next year.

In the end, after some bargaining between the two sides, a sapling was 120 yuan, and Li Yang asked for 1,500 trees.

A total of 180,000 yuan, plus the shipping fee, it will cost about 200,000 yuan.

The boss didn't have a car, so Li Yang needed to find a car by himself, but fortunately, Li's father was very familiar with this aspect, so he immediately found two six-wheeled vehicles for him.

One car can transport 60 trees at a time, and two cars can transport 120 trees at a time, and this 1,500 trees will take about 12 round-trips, plus the time to get on and off the bus, and you have to hurry up for about a day.

After sending all the saplings, Li Yang gave one thousand and five directly.

As for digging trees and packaging, these are the boss's own work, and of course they helped to get into the car, after all, he can't pay anything for a big order of 180,000 yuan.
