Chapter 42 Grass Planting
The weather was getting better, and Li Minhao rode a horse with a pacifier baby in his arms and walked around the farm. The snow had melted, the water of the creek had risen considerably, and only wooden pillars could be seen at the stake pier. After Nier and the others went home, the farm was less lively, and there was no sudden sound of four-wheeled motorcycles and small shouting, and Li Minhao was a little uncomfortable.
He slapped his horse and ran along the farm again, sweating slightly. Back in the small building, Wang Peng was putting on the forage, Li Minhao got off the horse, took off the saddle and reins, and patted the horse's buttocks. "The grass is good today, I'm here to help." Li Minhao and Wang Peng will work hard for a while.
"Boss, I took a look in the morning, and the hillside will be able to graze tomorrow" Wang Peng carried a bucket with water, adjusted the temperature, and returned to Li Minhao and said.
Li Minhao clapped his hands and said with a smile. "The grass on the hillside grows well, you can cut it once, I heard that the pasture grass around it is affected by rain and snow, which is not good."
Wang Peng filled up the water, put the bucket aside and nodded. "The steward of Sunshine Ranch came to me today and wanted to help buy some pasture." Wang Peng was a little curious, Li Minhao's farm grass not only did not wither roots due to rain and snow, there were no pests and diseases, and the growth was more vigorous than before the snow.
Li Minhao just smiled, the grass can be sold, there are not many cattle and sheep at home, and Li Minhao plans to change the breed of pasture. Now the grass is only five or six thousand catties a year, and the forage varieties are not suitable for the varieties of seven or eight years ago. Wang Peng agreed that the problem of forage harvesting on farms has just been solved.
"You tell Sunshine Ranch that they will harvest the grass themselves, and the price is cheaper." Li Minhao's family only has a large lawn mower and more than 1,000 acres of pasture, so he may be busy when he will finish his work.
"Okay, boss, this is a good solution, there is a shortage of forage in several pastures around." Wang Peng nodded, the farm is short of manpower, this method is good.
Li Minhao plans to introduce new grass species and Wang Peng, who has worked in farms and pastures for several years and is relatively good at forage varieties.
Wang Peng recommended three ryegrass varieties to Li Minhao that are rich in nutrients, high protein, excellent quality, good taste, palatable, suitable for all kinds of livestock and poultry to eat, the plant grows rapidly, grows strongly, has a long mowing period, strong tillering power, and has a developed root system. Alfalfa grass, the king of pastures, can fully absorb the water in the deep soil because of its deep root system, so it has strong drought resistance, and the requirements for soil are not strict, and sandy soil and clay can grow. There is also a type of Mexican corn. Ryegrass and alfalfa grass are the main crops, and the flat land on both sides of the creek can be used to grow some corn, and on both sides of the creek can be planted with pine grass.
Li Minhao nodded secretly, and sure enough, there was a knowledgeable person who was much more relaxed. "Forage seeds, you make a list and I'll order the seeds, and prepare them before the Spring Festival."
Wang Peng and Li Minhao discussed, and Li Minhao took the baby to the cowshed with the baby. The baby moved out of his small stool and squeezed a large bottle of fresh milk. Liu Ping saw Li Minhao yesterday and said something, Li Minhao was interested, raw milk is not very good to drink, and it needs to be boiled a little, Li Minhao really doesn't know much about this.
"Baby, you can't drink milk first, Dad will help you cook it." Li Minhao took the baby back to the small building, boiled the raw milk in a small pot and put it into a milk bottle and covered the pacifier. The baby took a big gulp of a bottle, his belly was bulging, and the corners of his mouth were full of milk bubbles.
Li Minhao played with the baby for a while, Taotao and Bai Xue, Shirley pulled out, cleaned the incubator, the baby reappeared to go to the cowshed to squeeze a large bottle of milk, boiled and poured into three small bottles, the baby held the puppy like a little mother, and fed them one by one.
"Go to sleep." Covered with a small blanket and patted the three little guys, Taotao's surname was lively, but he didn't want to sleep obediently, but the two big white bear puppies fell asleep obediently. Lee Min-ho poured his coffee, sat on the sofa, and held a newspaper in his hand, and Lee Jae-hyun's case took a turn for the better.
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Minhao's mouth, Li Ximin, this girl is smart. Lee Min Ho turned over and opened it to look at the first page, the South Korean female president aroused Lee Min Ho's curiosity. Last time at the Blue House, Lee Min-ho had a close-up look at the mild-mannered female president. This experienced president, Li Minhao admires this female president a little, his mother and father were assassinated one after another, and the betrayal of his father's subordinates was once beaten from a princess to an ugly duckling.
Step by step, not to mention the rivers of blood, countless people have become political victims, even if the brother-in-law will not be soft and go directly to prison. Gentle on the surface and extremely [***] genes deep inside, Lee Min Ho put the newspaper aside and teased the baby naughty and naughty.
After playing for a while, Li Minhao took the baby's little hand and came to the glass greenhouse, and the cabbage seedlings grew well. The hotline can be put away, Li Minhao put the hotline away, the baby squatted next to the cabbage and touched the baby to plant the cute cabbage, and happily took the small kettle to pour some water.
There is a small wooden sign on the side of the baby cabbage, a total of five cabbage babies have to come to see every day, and the baby takes care of his own little cabbage. Li Minhao observed the growth of cabbage. Space fruit cabbage seeds, Li Minhao planted them for the first time, and I don't know if they can produce fragrance. This time, Li Minhao did not water the spring water, and it was possible to successfully plant a large area.
Li Minhao plans to experimentally determine the quality of space fruit cabbage seeds, preferably to ensure that they have the characteristics of fruit cabbage in one season. The second season is degraded, which Lee Min-ho hopes so.
The seeds must be controlled in their own hands, Li Minhao finished weeding, put some fertilizer on water, and watered the water. The space cabbage experiment has entered the second stage, the fruit cabbage seeds grow in ordinary soil, do not water the space spring water, and still have a fruity fragrance, and the third phase of the experiment will continue in the next two days.
"Daddy, baby's cabbage has grown." The baby's little hand compared with the cabbage, nodded his little head happily, and pulled Li Minhao to see his little cabbage.
"Take good care of the baby, the little cabbage grows up fast, the baby is really a capable child." Li Minhao rubbed the baby's little head, and the baby giggled and hid
Li Minhao and the baby played in the glass greenhouse for a while, got out of the glass greenhouse, and returned to the small building. Li Minhao drove a four-wheeled transport motorcycle to the street, but he met many familiar people along the way.
Li Minhao first came to the timber shop to pay off the balance and talked, and did not delay too much time to come to the seed store. "President, 500 acres of alfalfa grass and rye grass seeds, 400 acres of Mexican corn, and 200 acres of pine leaf grass, I don't know if you can order fish fry here?" The small river flows through the farm for more than two miles, and there is a small river bay where you can raise some fish and shrimp.
"Cave farm river, that's fine, what kind of fry do you need?" The president thought about it, nodded, and finally provided Li Minhao with a few more suitable fish and shrimp, Li Minhao selected a few, and ordered the fishing nets together. In addition to these, Li Minhao ordered some chicory seeds and a hundred chicks and a hundred ducks.
Chicken coop wood Li Minhao bought directly from the timber store and sent it back to the farm, the chickens and ducks are available, and it is much more convenient to eat eggs and salted duck eggs in the future.
A hundred chickens and ducks is not much, and Li Minhao does not expect chickens and ducks to make much money. Farm construction slowly, at least until the Chinese cabbage seeds are on the market, and the recent Chinese cabbage experiment is crucial. After paying the deposit, Li Minhao took the baby to the supermarket and has not been on the street these days.
There are many daily necessities that need to be purchased at home, such as rice noodles and meat, beef and dog meat, Li Minhao prefers fresh pork, and fresh pork can be used to make dumplings.
Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, Lee Min-ho does not plan to go back to Seoul and spend it on the farm. Pork, beef, dog meat, onions, ginger and garlic seasonings, baby pacifiers and diapers are piled up in the shopping cart.
Li Minhao pushed the shopping cart and held the baby in his hand, came to the vegetable shelf, and a piece was vacant. "Shopkeeper, aren't there many kinds of vegetables today?"
"The snow disaster has caused many plastic greenhouses to collapse, and there is a shortage of vegetables, and the price has increased." Li Minhao settled the bill, the big bag and the baby all hugged a big bag of ingredients, and the father and daughter were shaking and shaking, which was a little funny.
"Sir, I'll help you." A delicate girl smiled and helped the baby carry the vegetable bag, and the baby showed a sweet smile. Li Minhao nodded and thanked him.
The girl talks very sweetly, Seoul is a tourist, and the time is not right now. "Sister, there are a lot of deer in the baby's house, do you want to see them?"
"Fawn, is it okay?" The girl seemed to like the fawn a lot, and with an excited face, Li Minhao nodded, there are no guests on the farm these days.
Lee Min Ho drove a four-wheeled transport motorcycle, and the girl sat on the side, very excited all the way, as if she had done something amazing. The trail is lined with green farmland and pastures, and a small river winds its way up to the cave farm.
"Ah, it's really big." The girl was a little surprised that Lee Min Ho was so young and had such a large farm, and although the land in Jeju Island was much cheaper than that in Seoul, such a large farm was worth a lot of money.
"The main thing is that the hillside is bigger, the baby invites his sister into the house to sit, and the father's car is parked." Li Minhao touched the baby's little head with the ingredients, parked the four-wheeled motorcycle, and returned to the house, where the baby was introducing the puppy to his sister. The three puppies are chubby and fleshy, and they are very cute and fluffy. The baby took his sister to see the puppy, and pulled the girl to see his fawn, and the fawn saw that the baby carrot was coming, and came to the baby's side.
"The fawn is really beautiful." The girl then handed the baby to the carrot and handed it to the deer to nibble, Li Minhao and Wang Peng were busy unloading the wood and building the chicken coop, Li Minhao drove the four-wheeled vehicle and hung a digging shovel in front of him to dig out a foundation. The timber is designed with the chicken coop, the nails are clamped, the foundation is laid, and the construction is done in the morning.
The chicken coop triplet, resting, laying eggs, and an activity net place, the design is good. "Boss, there are a few shelves that need to be built on the chicken coop." There are still some in the timber garage. "The chicken coop is built, Li Minhao returns to the small building, and the baby will take his sister out. Lee Min Ho finds the baby in the cowshed.
The girl was very curious about the farm, and it took most of the time to go back, and Li Minhao sent the girl away only to find that he forgot to ask for the name.
The baby is a little reluctant, only Dad, Sister Nier, and Sister Xiao Budian have all gone home. Dad is so busy that he doesn't have time to play with the baby.
The baby pulled his father and pouted, a little not lost. "Hehe, baby and dad are riding horses." Riding a horse twice a day in the morning and evening has now become a habit for Li Minhao.
Standing on the edge of the farm, the faint smoke of several small farms on the edge rose and shrouded in a light white mist. "I can't eat all the vegetables at home, so I can pick some tomorrow and go to the street."
