A month later.

A carriage with the brand of Huichun Hall stopped in front of the conservatory, and without Boss Xue lifting the curtain, Zhou Heng had already jumped down quickly.

Seeing Zhou Heng get out of the car, he immediately surrounded a group of people.

The leader is naturally Laifu, this kid originally looked like a very stocky guy, but in a month and a half, he has become black and thin as if he has changed into a person, and raised his hand to salute Zhou Heng.

The cracks between the nails are full of mud, and the palms of the hands are also like the bark of old trees, completely missing the original clean appearance, and the palms are still wrapped with dirty strips of cloth, Zhou Heng glanced at it and frowned slightly.

"What's hurt?"

Laifu followed Zhou Heng's gaze, looked at his hand, and smiled with his white teeth.

"It's nothing, it's just that the plow that was messing with them accidentally cut, it's not in the way, if the son doesn't say it, I won't remember."

Zhou Heng waved his hand at Ah Chang next to him, "You change a piece of gauze for him, and fiddle with the land, you must know that this is the most likely to come into contact with the tetanus virus, so you must pay attention to hygiene, this is not a joke." ”

Laifu didn't speak again, staring at Zhou Heng trying to bite his trembling lips, it seemed that no one had ever said such caring words since he could remember, his heart was a little sour for a while, and he quickly took a deep breath and watched Ah Chang clean up the injured place for him.

Zhou Heng glanced at it, and then asked:

"Okay, don't fiddle with the land in the past two days, don't touch the water, tell me, what's the change if you call me here in a hurry?"

Laifu pointed to the greenhouse and said, "It's expedient, son, please come with the little one." ”

Zhou Heng didn't say anything more, and hurriedly followed Laifu towards the greenhouse.

At this time, the outdoor temperature was not too cold, but although it was not planted in the ground, Zhou Heng took a closer look when he went up the mountain, and the surrounding land was only turned over the ground, and it was not sown.

As soon as he entered the conservatory, to Zhou Heng's surprise, the temperature here was not as high as it used to be, and after a glance, he found that the fire had long been extinguished.

There are no land ditches in the entire greenhouse, all of them are covered by lush green seedlings, Zhou Hai knows that this is a potato, looking at this height, it is almost to the height of his knees, such a height makes Zhou Heng startled.

"Heh, it's growing fast enough, I haven't seen it for a few days, it's all so tall, isn't it going to bloom?"

Laifu nodded vigorously, pointed to one and said:

"Childe, you see, this tree has already bloomed, I think it won't take too long for the rest to bloom, and the days it takes for this planting to mature are much shorter than I thought."

Zhou Heng thought about it for a while, potatoes are crops that have been planted for a short time, and they can be ripe in one hundred and twenty days in the Northeast, not to mention that Laifu takes such careful care and adjusts the temperature of the greenhouse so high, which is naturally conducive to germination and growth.

"This thing has been planted for a short time, and it is enough to plant it normally for three months around the capital, if it matures in one hundred and twenty days in northern Liaoning, you have been controlling the temperature of the greenhouse very well, which naturally shortens the time."

Laifu nodded vigorously, "When these potatoes were stored in the cellar, I was afraid that they would be too dry, so I sprayed water, so the sprouts sprouted, which is also a factor of rapid emergence after planting, I calculated, if you add the germination time, it will indeed take nearly two months to bloom." ”

Zhou Heng smiled at Laifu, this was already fast in the later generations.

"Are these plants too close together to affect the number of golden potatoes that will be produced?"

Laifu's face was full of worry, and he hurriedly hugged his fist towards Zhou Heng.

"Childe Mingjian, I'm most worried about this, because I didn't have experience at first, I don't know how much to put in the right place, and now I find that the spacing between the plants is too small, and the radish is growing down with two at most, and I don't know how much one can plant below?"

Zhou Heng blinked, who knows this thing, there are a lot of different varieties.

"I don't know exactly how many can be fruited, I've just seen a lot of golden potatoes growing under one tree, as few as three or four or more than a dozen, but the more many, the less likely it is to appear big."

The worry on Laifu's face was even worse, and he slapped his palm hard.

"It seems that what I'm worried about is happening, but it doesn't matter, we transplanted some plants overnight, and chose the ones that did not bloom, so that it would not affect the growth, but transplanted to the earth, I am afraid that the growth will be slow due to the low temperature."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, "It's okay, but the transplant should be done as soon as possible, did you tell the people in Zhuangzi?" ”

Laifu nodded, "Uncle Yang has already said that everyone said that they will not plant anything else this year, but will plant golden potatoes and corn." ”

Zhou Heng was stunned, he didn't expect that he didn't have to speak, does Uncle Yang on this Zhuangzi have such a high consciousness?

"Everyone in the Zhuangzi?"

Laifu nodded again, "For everyone, in fact, the people in Zhuangzi are very busy now, if they are allowed to plant wheat and plow and weed every day, they really don't have this effort."

After all, many people make money in the workshop, which is more profitable than farming, and I thought that in this case, can we plant all this cultivated land together? Do you give them some money to rent and grow, or give them some corn when it is ripe? ”

Zhou Heng listened to Laifu's words, and suddenly looked at the black kid in front of him, this consciousness is too good, this is the prototype of the cooperative.

"You come here, this idea is very good, but this Beishan belongs to the Shizi, and the people on the Zhuangzi need to rent land from the Shizi, I don't think they can rent the land, and you will do the planting and initial management, but the daily watering and insect catching, as well as the harvest, let each family do it themselves, as for the harvest, we only need half of it, but the premise is that the two hillsides in the east are also planted."

Laifu looked puzzled, and spread his hands a little anxious.

"But even if you divide these golden potatoes and corn plants, there are not so many, and the two eastern slopes are half larger than the existing land, and the soil is not fertile......

Zhou Heng raised his hand to stop his words, "The existing land will be planted first, and as for the two hillsides, it is naturally waiting for the ripe potatoes and corn in your greenhouse to produce new seeds, and then plant them after screening." ”

Rifle's eyes widened, and his mouth was wide open.

"Childe is saying that if you want to plant two seasons in the capital, the golden potatoes will take a month to ripen, and the corn seems to take longer, is this really okay?"

Zhou Heng's face was stiff, and Laifu suddenly panicked and quickly knelt on the ground.

"I'm just worried that the weather will be cold and we won't be able to get the corn back."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's too late to plant in mid-March or early April, and you can harvest after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Laifu thought about it and nodded vigorously, and suddenly felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, and his face became solemn when he took a long breath.

"This kind of land is good at it, but if it comes to talking about the harvest with the farmers in the Zhuangzi, I really don't know how to say it?"

Zhou Heng waved his hand absently, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will ask Steward Zhu to come over tomorrow, he is the best at this, you should hurry up and clean up the overly dense plants." ”

Laifu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Didn't you promise Lord Liu before, saying that you were going to build a test field in Tongzhou, did you also want to wait for this corn and golden potatoes to mature for the first time, and then use this as a seed?" ”

Zhou Heng looked at Laifu with a smile, "Count you kid is not stupid, the greenhouse will naturally have to be planted, where the temperature is high and the maturity is faster than the earth, as for next year, you can engage in the cultivation of the greenhouse, the supply of green seedlings, if the time is good, maybe there can be two seasons, one season of potatoes in early spring and one season of corn in early summer, if so, it would be great." ”

Laifu stared at Zhou Heng, constantly thinking in his mind, if he could really grab two seasons, wouldn't this Beijing suburb be comparable to Jiangnan, what kind of disaster he was afraid of.

"But why are the two crops planted differently?"

Zhou Heng glanced at him, this kid was really concerned, and he found the key to the problem at a glance.

"This is more troublesome to explain, if the same crops are planted every year, the land will be barren, and the yield will also have a deep impact.
