In the morning, Li leisurely drove to the vegetable base, and some days without going to see it had to remember to replenish the reservoir there.

So far, the vegetable base has provided three batches of vegetables to Baozipu and Sīfang Restaurant, covering almost all the required varieties, and the quality of the vegetables is also stable without any problems.

As for the shelf life of special vegetables, according to the data provided by Uncle Qi, he also roughly calculated that it is shorter than that of space vegetables, but it is much longer than the ordinary goods on the market, especially in summer, the difference is even more obvious.

The advantage of this is that the vegetable base can be transported less frequently, and the quantity can be increased each time.

On the other hand, there are fewer and fewer vegetables that need space and land to provide them directly, and it is currently harvested only once a week or so, and it is expected that it will not be far from completely unloading this burden.

Li leisurely drove out of the city, driving on a wide road, the air conditioning was not turned on in the car, and the windows were down, feeling the fresh wind outside the city.

His mood was as relaxed as the wind, and he could finally get rid of these trivial things and live the life he wanted.

Growing vegetables in space is actually not boring in itself, and it is also a tǐng thing with a sense of achievement, and you can also keep fit. But once the task is formed, it has to be supplied at a certain point in time, and it slowly becomes very boring.

After handing over the work, you can grow medicinal herbs and other plants in the space in the future, and as for when to plant and what varieties to choose, because there is no longer supply pressure, you can come completely according to your own preferences and interests.

Combining work and hobbies, combining work and rest, this is the ideal way.

When he arrived at his destination, he parked the car on the side of the road, stepped into the vegetable field along the ridge, and went all the way to the village, which was very different from the past, full of vitality.

The first thing to approach is the leek field, and you can see a large area of vertical tǐng pulling and vigorous leeks in the field, and the nèn green leek leaves with a little moisture are like newly grown grass seedlings, exuding a fragrant fragrance with the wind.

Further on, Chinese cabbage, rape, cabbage, and radish seedlings are all neatly arranged, and the vegetable seedlings are strong, spiritual, and bright. However, it is obvious that it is planted in phases and batches, and each vegetable is divided into several squares, and the farther away from the road direction grows, the higher it grows.

In the distance are vine crops, the most striking is the large cucumber flowers, like golden butterflies flying among the leaves, resting on the melon vines. Palm-sized green leaves swayed in the wind on the shelves, making a rattling sound.

Cucumber vines are also planted in batches, some have just bloomed, and some have already hung down a cucumber fruit with a green face and a thorny top flower, as if it is made of jadeite, which is pleasing to look at.

In addition, those loofahs, cowpeas, and eyebrow peas next to cucumber vines are also the result of the flowering of the branches and leaves, and the fruit, coupled with the mì bees and hummingbirds, these little guys who pick mì are flying in the meantime, which looks very lively.

The scenery of the vegetable patch is simple, but it is full of business.

Li Lianzhu is leading his subordinates to take care of the vegetable field, weeding, fertilizing, thinning fruits, and pruning branches, each with its own division of labor. Seeing Li Youran coming, he stopped what he was doing and stepped forward.

"Ranzi, come and take a look." Li Zhuzhu greeted.

"Brother Lianzhu, the tǐng Lisuo vegetables cleaned up in this field have also grown strong." Li leisurely looked at it with satisfaction.

"Hey, speaking of this, I'm convinced, I've been planting for so many years, and I've never seen such a strong vegetable, and I will rush to the head when I water it. There is not even a single weak or diseased seedling in the nursery field. Except for the greasy insects a while ago, this dish is really worry-free and comfortable. When Li Zhuzhu mentioned this new variety of vegetables, he couldn't help but praise them.

"That's good, just pay attention to the fact that sowing and raising seedlings should be carried out in batches to widen the time difference, so as to ensure that the freshest vegetables are served to the restaurant." Li leisurely reminded.

The vegetable base is different from the general production of vegetable plots, and the products are not exported for sale, and all are digested by the steamed bun shop and the sīfang restaurant, so it is inevitable to take the practice of phased batches in the process of growing vegetables, which increases the amount of labor, after all, the shelf life of vegetables in the real world is really limited.

"Of course I know this, Da Niu and Uncle Qi have told me. By the way, the spring in that cistern has not been producing water for a while, and the water level has dropped by a small half, so why don't you go and take a look. Li Lianzhu remembered his biggest concern, that water is an important guarantee for the quality of vegetables. …,

"Okay, I'll take a look." Li Youran originally came for this, of course he had to go over.

The two of them came to the reservoir one after the other, and because of the shading, the edge of the pool around it was relatively high, so the water in the pool looked clear and unpolluted by the dirt from the outside world.

It's just that the water level has indeed dropped a lot, Li Youran took out the jade pixiu from the mouth of xiōng, held it in his hand, and then walked along the edge of the pool with Li Lianzhu to talk about some other things.

When he wasn't paying attention, he threw the jade pixiu into the pool with his right hand, and then controlled it with his mind.

Pixiu fell sharply at a height of a few centimeters above the water, and slowly sank into the water, without even making a splash.

When Pixiu sank to a corner of the pool, Li leisurely turned on the water control switch.

"Gollum." Accompanied by a series of bubbles, the pool water began to gush.

Li Zhuzhu turned his head when he heard the voice, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the underground spring had begun to bubble water.

"Ranzi, you are really a lucky star, I have been staring at it for so many days without moving, and you will come out of the water as soon as you come, it is amazing." Li Lianzhu was surprised.

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence, this is a geyser, there will always be water every once in a while, the company's technicians have inspected it, don't worry." Li smiled leisurely, walked to the other side of the pool to observe Li Lianzhu nodded as if he didn't understand, and thought about it, anyway, this part is in charge of the company's professionals, and he can't intervene, so he is too lazy to think about it.

Together, they inspected the drip irrigation system, which uses a special pump to pump water from the pond into a storage tank, filter it and feed it into a pipeline laid in the field, where the dripper drip the water is dripped into the soil at the roots of the crops.

Li Youran squatted down and carefully inspected some of the dripper parts, which had been used for a while, and the water was still good, and there was no fouling and blockage. He nodded in satisfaction, and it seemed that the purity of the spatial stream had once again withstood the test.

He plucked out two weeds mixed in the middle of the cabbage, which were nourished by water like the vegetables, and grew quickly, adding a lot of labor to Li Lianzhu and them.

Standing up, Li Youran went to the seedling field again and looked at it, just like Li Lianzhu said, there were almost no weak seedlings. It seems that the seeds produced by the space vegetables are very powerful.

The time was almost up, and he returned to the reservoir, where the water level had risen quite a bit.

He turned off the water switch with his mind.

"Brother Tie Zhu, have you planted all these sixteen acres?" Li Youran pointed to the ground with his left hand.

"It's all planted, and there's nothing empty." Li Lianzhu replied, and at the same time, following his hand to take advantage of this effort, Li Youran quickly put his right hand behind his back and accurately withdrew the jade Pixiu that jumped out of the water.

After a while, Li Lianzhu inadvertently found that the reservoir had calmed down, he looked at the water level, and couldn't help but praise: "This underground spring is really considerate, every time the water bubbles up, it is just right, it stops when it reaches the position, and it never overflows." ”

"The water from the spring also depends on pressure, and when the water level is high, the pressure is insufficient, so it naturally stops." Li Youran found a reason to explain this phenomenon.

Li Lianzhu also nodded as if he didn't understand.

At this time, his eyes suddenly stopped on a cabbage, took two steps closely, reached out and pulled off a green striped worm from it, threw it on the ridge and stomped it with his foot.

"Brother Chain, are there still bugs?" Li Youran also saw it, it was a cabbage green worm, this kind of insect is not shallow, specializing in eating cabbage and radish leaves, is one of the biggest disasters of crop yield. The adult insect is tǐng beautiful, and it is the famous vegetable powder butterfly.

"It's inevitable, special vegetables are all good, but there is a trouble, and it's no wonder that you love to attract insects, the dishes are delicious." We sprinkle chilli water every once in a while, and we can't make too much of that. Other times, you can only grasp it by hand, but you can still control it. Li Zhuzhu said.

That's the case in the real world, and trouble is indispensable. It's still a worry-free space.,But every time I bring my own items in, I'm very careful that I haven't brought insect eggs or the like into it so far.,Otherwise, I don't know how big a mess it will be.。 Li Youran thought.

"Brother Lianzhu, our special vegetables cannot use pesticides and fertilizers, this is a principle, and it cannot be shaken. Do you think we can do some biological control, such as getting frogs and toads into the ground and letting them hunt pests, wouldn't it be much easier? Li Youran suggested. Biological control is the most advanced solution, and its benefits are unmatched by any other means. …,

"Frogs, toads? No, we are vegetable fields, not paddy fields, and although those things are amphibians, they can't live long in the dry land. Li Zhuzhu shook his head when he heard this.

Li Youran heard it, too, frogs and toads still have high requirements for water, and the sun is strong in summer, and the soil will dry out after watering the vegetable field, which is really not suitable.

He stopped making a noise and walked slowly along the ridge.

"By the way, I've also heard of something called the forest frog, which lives in the forest all year round, and is probably drought tolerant, and is raised to eat. I just haven't seen it. Li Lianzhu said suddenly.

Oh, and this kind of thing, as long as it's a frog, it should be able to eat pests.

As soon as Li Youran heard it, he felt that there was a door, he didn't care if he hadn't seen it, it was the Internet era, and he went online to check it, and he understood everything.

Thinking of this, he asked Li Lianzhu to go back to the car with him to see the information.

The two of them came to the parking place one after the other, opened the car door and got in, Li Youran took out the tablet from the leather bag in the back seat, turned on the phone and connected to the network and began to check.

"It's so handy." Li Lianzhu usually didn't pay attention to these things, but now that he sees them, he really feels very novel.

"Brother Lianzhu, there are some things you should still learn, and it is always good to open your eyes. If you don't look back, the company will give you one. Li Youran said while checking the information.

"That's a good feeling." Li Lianzhu watched the other party easily touch the mō operation on the screen, and the rows of information were clearly displayed, and he couldn't help but like this thing too.

"There is, the Northeast Forest Frog, which grows in the mountains of northeastern China, is also known as the Husky toad...... It is a rare amphibian that integrates medicinal, food and beauty functions...... The Northeast forest frog has fine flesh, fragrant taste, easy digestion and absorption for the human body, suitable for people of all ages, especially the frail and sick and the elderly, and has a high food supplement value...... Because of its delicious taste and rich nutrition, it has become a tribute in the Ming and Qing dynasties...... Amphibians under the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest, live worms that eat spiders, locusts, snails, bugs, flies, mosquitoes, mole crickets, moth butterflies and other insects, a forest frog can prey on more than 30,000 pests a year......" Li Youran read out loud while inspecting.

Li Zhuzhu's mind at this time was not all on Lin Frog, he saw that such a small screen easily displayed so much detailed and useful information, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that he was too outdated, it seems that in the future, it will not work to eat with the original little bit of old books and experience, and he still has to learn.

"It's really a good thing, not only can it cure insects, but it can also be eaten, hehe, kill two birds with one stone. But this thing can jump and run around. Li Youran was very happy after reading the information, and remembered the specific problem.

"This is easy to do, we can just wrap a circle of barbed wire around the edge of the field, the mesh is small, about 60 centimeters high, and it can't jump out if it can jump. It's just a little bit more expensive. Li Zhuzhu immediately thought of a solution.

"It doesn't matter how much money you spend, as long as you can solve the problem." Li Youran doesn't care about this cost, the special vegetables are all high-profit products in the restaurant, so there is no need to save this money.

He handed the tablet to Li Lianzhu and asked him to take a look.

"Then I think this method is feasible, by the way, we can leave a few puddles at the edge of the vegetable field, spread them out, and let the frogs rest and lay eggs." Li Lianzhu said while looking at the picture.

Li Youran put his head on the backrest, and thought about it further, the forest frog is active in the vegetable field, it is easy to find the dripper of the drip irrigation system, and you can also drink the water of the space stream, so that it can grow stronger, and the frog meat is also more delicious, hehe. However, this will have to wait until the number of reproduction reaches a certain number, and the insect can be treated first. Also, it doesn't seem to be the breeding season yet.

With his mind decided, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Feng Daniu, asking him to find a merchant who sells live forest frogs and buy a few hundred of them back to stock.

Feng Daniu immediately agreed, after such a long time of procurement work, he had already learned to check information and dealers on the Internet, because this Xiao Li boss often asked him to buy some strange things, just by asking acquaintances and fellow villagers how to eat. For this reason, he applied for a desktop computer for the logistics department, and asked Gu Weiwei to be a teacher to teach him and Xiao Xia to learn for a while.

Seeing that he had already made a decision, Li Lianzhu said that he would immediately start the procurement and installation of barbed wire.

The two chatted for a while, seeing that there was nothing else to do at the moment, so Li Lianzhu got out of the car and returned to the vegetable field, and Li Youran also stepped on the accelerator and drove to the city.
