Chapter 14: Succulent
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the golden autumn of October. It's been almost 4 months since they came to this world, and it's been almost a month since Gu Yiyan and they left, and a lot of things have happened during this time, but the matter of alternating rights is not compatible with Qingli, a peasant girl in a mountain nest.
Today is cloudless, it is a good weather, Lotus Village is busy, because more than 20 acres of wasteland in the west of Qinglijia has been developed, and now it is in full swing to build greenhouses, 6 small sheds, each covering an area of more than 2 acres, and 2 greenhouses each accounting for more than 4 acres.
"Ping'an, what did you say Lili asked us to spread these sand and gravel in the greenhouse? And so many flower pots. The big and small colors are not the same. Liu Zhenan asked curiously.
"I heard Lili say that what kind of succulent you want to raise, the fertilizer and soil you need are sand, gravel, cinders and the like. Why is this so succulent? Like the soil where we grow food is not fertile, and the harvest is not good, can this really make money? "Ping An with a cigarette.
"yes, why do I feel like that? Look at those greenhouses, all of them are good things, what thermometers, what boiler heating devices, you see that there are compartments in those two large sheds, it costs a lot of money, right? What is she doing with all this? Alas, do you know the village chief? Liu Zhenqing also said.
"It seems that some plants live in very hot places, and the temperature difference between the four seasons in our place is too large, and the boiler is used to heat in winter, and the tempered glass on it can concentrate the heat. Okay, you guys, Lili is here to ask you to work, not to ask you to chat, all work for me, otherwise I will be careful of pumping you. Village Chief Su Zhongyuan said.
"Haha, how can we, walk up, or the village chief will whip us all over the village with the soles of his shoes." Liu Zhen'an and the others stood up one by one, some carrying bags and pushing carts, which were full of sand and gravel.
"Aunt Xia, this batch of small plastic flower pots and ceramic medium and large flower pots are placed in the No. 1 shed, Lao Hei, you get out of here, this is not for you to roll, you have to grind your skin and go to the mountain." Qingli shouted angrily.
I saw Lao Hei rolling over on the sand, his tail curled up for a while, stretched straight for a while, and his expression was not to mention how pleasant. Next to him is Da Bai, who is sitting on his back, and the little guy is wearing a denim outfit and a hat on his head, really like a little cowboy.
"Haha, Lili, don't scold Lao Hei. Lao Hei is good, the last time he fell into the river, Lao Hei rolled up. Yes, Lili, your animals seem to understand human speech. Why didn't Doudou and the old turtle see it? Isn't it usually sticky? "Aunts, you and I will say a word.
"Doudou, now that the weather is cooler, it went to the forest to pick pine nuts, to store food for the winter, as for the old turtle to sleep in the living room every day!" Qingli planted the "Black Mage, Jivalian, Silent Night, etc." in a pot, and then poured space water.
"Lili: This is the last time we saw the bear paws? Why did you grow so big? Aunt Xiuying was surprised.
"No, this is the old plant I bought, and the last time you saw it was here. These old plants were introduced separately, and the seedlings were planted by me. "These large and precious old plants are all leaves and wattles that Qingli used to buy from all over the world, and then the treasures are raised in the space.
"How many kinds of meat are there? We haven't seen any of this since we're so old? "There are thousands of species, some of which are mutated hybrids, because of their beautiful appearance, they are very popular with the people in the city, and the known varieties are roughly divided into: Sedumaceae, Radiaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Unitail Family, Cactus Family, Asteraceae, etc., and each family is divided into many genera. For example, this rainbow jade is the genus Sedum, the black mage, the mountain rose is the genus of the Sedum family, and so on. Because the family belongs to a different family, the growth habits are also different, so some like the sun, some like the wind to pay attention to, and there is a dormant period. However, it should be noted that most of them are poisonous and not suitable for keeping indoors. In the future, the aunts will know when they see more. Qingli replied while busy with the matter in hand.
"Tut, it turns out that there are so many kinds of meat here, and what family and genus are divided, it's so troublesome. What do you think the people in the city think? How do you like these delicate plants and animals? Last time I went to the city and saw the boss of a dog, I heard what kind of Tibetan mastiff it was, and it was expensive. Aunt Xiuying put the blue stone under the flower pot without punching, put the prepared sand on top of the bottom stone, then put the flower pot aside, picked up another flower pot, and continued the above action.
"The people in the city are strange, I saw a woman holding a pig last time, and the pig is still wearing clothes! I heard what is called a pet pig, I don't have a pet pig they raise dun, why do you say that the pig is a pet? Didn't you grow up and kill meat and eat it! It's still powerful, such a big old snake, and a big white cat, it's worth a lot. Lili, you don't want to sell these? Aunt Chrysanthemum tucked the fallen hair behind her ears.
"My sister is the most powerful, I don't sell or sell, Dabai will sleep with Xixi, the old snake and the big turtle will play with Xixi, Doudou will buy something for me to eat, you are a bad person, my sister ignores her!" Xiao Douding was not happy when she heard Aunt Chrysanthemum's words.
"Don't worry, my sister won't sell them, they are very useful, and I will rely on them to attract popularity in the future! With these big guys, you don't have to worry about the safety of the village. But Xixi was very rude just now, how did my sister usually teach you? Qingli asked seriously.
I saw Xixi pinching the corners of her clothes, looking at my sister's face, and after thinking about it, she stood in front of Aunt Chrysanthemum: "I'm sorry Aunt Huahua, don't be angry if you're wrong, don't dare next time." "It's not in the way, it's Aunt Chrysanthemum who said the wrong thing." Ignore your sister and go play by yourself! Aunt Chrysanthemum waved her hand.
"It's awesome, we're not afraid to do things wrong, we can correct them. My sister is so proud! Okay, I'm going to play with Dabai. "Kissing the dimple of Little Douding, Little Douding ran away shyly.
"Lili everything is ready, can you come and see how to do it?" In the distance, the sound of grandpa shouting could be heard.
"Auntie, you get it first, I'll go see the ingredients." "Okay, you go, we'll leave it here." The aunts replied cheerfully.
Walking to grandpa's place, there were coal, sawdust, rice husks, ceramsite, pond mud, and coco peat on the ground, and Qingli looked at everything. "Grandpa, this coal is too little, not enough. You can go to other villages to see if there are any, if you want to burn them, you can give money. "Okay, grandpa will show you. The Central Plains is here for you. Grandpa turned around and left.
"Uncle, this coal should be crushed--- sieved (leaving particles---), rinsed (to powder), --- blistered (desulfurization and annealing), ---- dried before it can be used, this cinder is handed over to Brother Dongzi, you have great strength, Uncle Zhen'an, can you help me carry the water?" Qingli pinched the cinders and pond mud with her hands, turned her head and said to Brother Dongzi and Uncle Zhen'an.
"If you want it! We're going to fetch water and get a sieve now. Brother Dongzi and Uncle Zhen'an said. That's hard work everyone! Qingli's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and two dimples appeared.
"Hey, folks, what's the hard work, not to mention that you still paid. It's much better than them going out to work part-time jobs. What kind of meat can you really make money by planting this kind of meat? "Uncle the village chief knocked on the cigarette pot.
"Yes, although it is very beautiful, but you sell it so expensive, does anyone want it?" Uncle Zhenqing and Uncle Ping'an nodded in unison.
"Uncle and brother, you can rest assured that you are all little seedlings now, and when you grow up next year, you will put together a beautiful flower plate, put decorations, and take beautiful photos. I'll go to the Internet and post a post on the scenery of our village, the big white and black in my house, and all kinds of meat photos in the greenhouse, so that people are interested. Thinking of the great prospects for next year, hehe---- Qingli's heart is happy.
"That's okay, Lili do a good job, don't be embarrassed to say if you want to help. The old and young masters of the village can help. You dug such a big lake and left it empty? ”
"No, that big lake is going to raise fish, and grow king lotus, water lily and bowl lily, divided into different areas, and the lotus flowers in each area are different. I'm ready for the succulent seeds to be sprinkled and just in time for a winter, and next year they will sprout and bloom. ”
"Lotus? Isn't it the same as in the river? That's pretty and fragrant, what are you talking about? "Everyone is curious.
"No, although lotus and lotus flowers belong to the lotus family, there are still differences, such as water lilies have blue, red, white, yellow, pink colors, some bloom at night and close during the day. The leaves of the king lotus are very large and thick, and its bearing weight can reach up to more than 80 kilograms. You'll know when you see it. ”
"In the future, there will be more and more good things in our village!" The village chief's old face loomed in the smoke. After more than a week, after the non-stop help of the uncles and aunts in the village, all the succulents were finally planted.
Qingli stood in the greenhouse, looking at the neat seedlings and the sturdy old plants, and smiled proudly.
