Chapter 269 Integration of Water and Fertilizer
The four of them walked and chatted, and slowly came to the lake, where there was a villa, which was the main house of the farm.
The main house is where the farmer lives, and it is generally built in the best location of the farm, not necessarily in the middle of the farm.
The turquoise water of the lake is wide and wide, similar to Kas Lake at the foot of the Xin/Xinjiang Tianshan Mountains, and looking into the distance, I found that on the other side of the river, far away, there is a row of bungalows, which should be the residence of farm workers.
At this time, Yan Xiaoyun's voice sounded in her ears, "What a big lake!" ”
The third sister said with a smile: "This is a meteorite lake, which has a history of more than 20 million years and an area of nearly 5.5 square kilometers. This is not the biggest, I bought a total of seven farms, each farm has lakes, the largest lake is on the other side of the mountain, more than 15 square kilometers. ”
"There are so many lakes in Canada!" Yan Xiaoyun sighed.
Zhao Xiaoyun said: "Canada is a world-famous park country, and you can see a lot of gardens and lakes everywhere you go, and the area is very large. Hong Kong is a small piece of land that can't be compared. ”
"Look, there's a stream on the mountain!" Yan Xiaoyun pointed to a mountain on her right hand and shouted in surprise.
"The mountain is part of the Kaners Mountains, and the water in the lake is left from the mountain, and when the lake is full, it flows down the tributary in front of it to another lake, and this farm has two lakes, one large and one small, and the small lake on the other side, which is less than 3 square kilometers." The third sister explained.
"Are there any fish in the lake?"
"Yes, a white, transparent, cold-water fish that can grow up to half a meter long. It feeds on aquatic plants and plankton in the lake, and its shape looks a bit like the boat shuttle (a common name for a freshwater fish) in the Yangtze River. There are very few such fish bones. Ask about deliciousness, but Canadians don't deal with the fishy smell on it. So they don't eat it, so there are a lot of this fish in Canada. ”
When everyone came to the villa by the lake, Ling Shizhe found that this villa was actually very large, comparable to a small palace, and it was built with common stone in Canada, and the walls were full of creepers, because the villa was close to the lake, and the foundation on the ground floor was covered with moss.
There were no weeds around the house, and it was clear that there were people here who often came to repair it.
This farm is called Mother Earth. It was taken by the previous farmer, and this house was also built by the rich man, so the whole villa was built very beautifully, full of gorgeous atmosphere, the religious carvings on the marble exterior wall were very clear, and the stone used was very solid, after Ling Shizhe entered the house, he felt that the stone floor was as smooth as the ice surface.
The villa is surrounded by a white wooden fence, and the small fence is only waist-high. With delicate paint, some trumpet flowers are wrapped around it, adding a bit of romance.
The villa faces the small lake and there is a lawn in the backyard. There are dozens of fruit trees planted on it, including pear, peach, apple and plum trees, with a strong pastoral atmosphere.
There are several small rivers on the farm. Including the small river next to the woods, it all converged into the lake in front of the villa. Some wild ducks and wild birds chase and play happily on the surface of the lake, and they make 'quack' calls from time to time. Gives the silent farm a little vitality.
Ling Shizhe sat on the stone bench in the court, the third sister took out four cups and poured him a glass of beer, and then she poured a glass of apple juice for each of the two daughters and a glass of lemon juice for herself.
The third sister poured him a dark beer brewed on her own farm, and the beer in the cup was purple-black, slightly reddish, and shimmered in the sunlight.
Good wine, although Ling Shizhe is a layman about wine, he can also see that the glass in front of him is a high-quality dark beer, and he picked up the beer glass and shook it slightly. Yes, there is a lot of foam hanging on the mouth of the cup, the consumption is very slow, the foaming power is strong, the foam is thick and covered with the wine surface, the foam body is white and delicate, and the foam height accounts for 1/2~2/3 of the cup;
After watching for about four minutes, the foam did not disappear too much, I tried to take a small sip, the taste is very pure, the aroma of the wine is obvious, there is no miscellaneous taste, and the wine quality is clear, the wine body is harmonious and soft, and the killing power is strong. The bitterness is delicate, faint, refreshing and pleasant, without after-bitterness, giving people a breath of re-quoted**.
A gleam flashed in Ling Shizhe's eyes. When I brought the beer to my eyes and looked at it carefully, I saw that the wine in the glass was bright in color, without precipitation and turbidity. Everything says that this is an excellent beer.
"Sister, this beer is really good." Ling Shizhe took another sip and praised.
"Then you can taste this cup again." The third sister took out another cup and poured another beer into it.
Is this beer golden? The color and foam are as rich as the dark beer next to it, and the foam is as white and delicate, accounting for 2/3 of the glass. The foam glows snow-white in the sunlight and has a faint aroma. After taking a sip, the faint aroma in the wine is very unique and attractive, and the wine is slightly bitter, like an orchid in the dark.
"Good wine." Ling Shizhe couldn't help but scream.
Subconsciously took a second sip, and then there was a faint fragrance in his mouth that was not there just now, which seemed to be reminiscent of the faint bitterness of first love.
"Third sister, this ......" Ling Shizhe was stunned, this cup is golden? The colored beer has two different tastes, and he has been drinking beer for so many years, and this kind of thing has never happened.
The third sister smiled and said, "This is our latest brewed beer, the black one is called morning dew, yellow?" The colored one is called Youlan. Well, not bad, right? ”
"It's not just good, it's the best of beer," and then said to the second daughter: "You can also try the third sister's newly brewed beer, it tastes very good." ”
The second daughter tasted both kinds of beer, Zhao Xiaoyun pursed her lips and said: "Drinking black beer in your mouth gives people a cool like morning dew, with a hint of fragrance. ”
Yan Xiaoyun continued: "Huang? The color of the beer, the unique fragrance makes people fall into obsession, the faint emotion is a little bitter, and it is like an orchid in the dark, especially the second sip, which gives people a bitter question like first love. ”
Ling Shizhe said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you two to be connoisseurs of wine tasting. ”
The second girl smiled and said in unison, "Do you think that only you men drink beer?" ”
Ling Shizhe shook his head, turned his head to the third sister and said, "Is there a registered trademark?" ”
"It's been registered for a long time. But I don't know how much to sell, so I called you to help me with my staff. ”
"How much do these two wines produce each year?"
"Very little. The black morning dew is only about 300,000 bottles in a good year. In the event of a natural disaster, production will be drastically reduced, even less than 100,000 bottles; The orchid is even lower, and the yield is less than half of the morning dew. ”
Ling Shizhe looked at the bottles of the two beers, both of which were 500 grams, that is to say, if the wind and rain are smooth, the maximum annual output of morning dew is only 300,000 catties, and the orchid is less than 150,000 catties. This beer production is negligible compared to the annual beer production in the world.
Moreover, beer is not like wine and Chinese baijiu, which can be stored for a long time, these two beers have a very short shelf life, only 5 months.
No wonder the third sister is not good at pricing.
"Can you add preservatives like other beers?"
"No, with preservatives, even a little bit of it, the beer will be ruined." The third sister shook her head and said.
Ling Shizhe didn't know how to set the price, so he thought about it and said, "That's it, when you go." I'll take a few buckets back and give them Alison to taste and see what they recommend. By the way, Li Zhen has always been acting for your beer. What does he recommend? ”
He wasn't sure that these two kinds of beer could only be drunk by the rich, but the rich people in Taiwan/Bay did not have the habit of drinking beer. Probably won't sell very well. ”
Ling Shizhe said: "For the time being, Europeans and Americans, whether they are commoners or rich, have a tradition of drinking beer. Let's ask Alison what they think. ”
At the end of the topic, Ling Shizhe talked about another topic: "Third sister, these farms can't grow a banker." You can't graze herd, what are you going to do? ”
"I'm going to plant a batch of potatoes first, and after a few years the fertility of the land has recovered, I'm going to switch to other vegetables."
Ling Shizhe shook his head and said, "The idea of planting potatoes is right, but if you want to restore the geographical advantage, you can do it this year, and you don't need to wait." ”
"What kind of heart technology has your company developed?"
"Third sister, haven't you heard of the integrated technology of water and fertilizer?"
The third sister gave him a blank look and said, "Isn't the irrigation system in my ranch the integrated technology of water and fertilizer?" ”
"That's the first generation, I'm talking about the second generation." Ling Shizhe replied.
The first generation of water and fertilizer integration technology mentioned by Ling Shizhe is used in the method of flood irrigation, which is to mix water and fermented biogas liquid in a certain proportion in a large container, and then pump water and fertilizer into the artificially dug canal through a non-powered water pump, and finally fertilize the entire pasture through the canal.
The biggest disadvantage of this method is that the water is very wasteful, and the root depth of crops and pastures is different, so this method is only suitable for water-rich pastures, and farms and areas with little rain are very unsuitable.
And the use of flood irrigation is a waste of fertilizer, if it is in the pasture where the water resources are very abundant, it is okay, the rice field is OK, but for the crops in the dry land, the dealer will often appear "not full" situation, you must know that the land has the function of water seepage, the use of flood irrigation watering, the water will seep quickly, not only waste water, but also the nutrients in the water will be deposited to the depth of the crop roots.
In this way, the crops cannot absorb the nutrients in the soil, and the nutrients accumulate in the deep soil layer, which will make the land hard and agglomerate over time, forming the so-called deep pollution of the land, and the land will be slowly discarded.
As the saying goes, the dealer is a flower, and it all depends on the fertilizer. Fertilizer accumulates in the depths of the soil, and the root system of the dealer is generally short, so it cannot absorb the nutrients in the soil, and it will naturally not grow well.
At this time, in order to make the farmer good, the farmers have to apply more fertilizer, so that a vicious circle is formed.
But why doesn't the ranch matter? Because the roots of general forage grass are very deep, especially the forage grass that has grown for many years, its root system can reach one meter deep into the soil layer, and the pasture with large flood irrigation, the fertilizer gathering area is exactly between 0.5 and 1 meter, and this distance range is exactly where the grass root system is located. Therefore, it is appropriate for the pasture to be flooded.
But in this water-scarce area, this method will not work, because the flood irrigation method is very wastewater, although the newly bought farm of the third sister is not short of water, but because of violent development, the fertility of the land has long been destroyed.
If you use the conventional method of land restoration, it is not only a waste of money, but also very time-consuming, and the land cannot be restored without five to seven years of effort.
The second generation of integrated irrigation technology of water and fertilizer solves this problem, regardless of whether the land is arid or barren, it can enable the farmer to obtain a high yield. (To be continued......)
