Chapter 297: Digging Winter Bamboo Shoots
The Cyprus Mountains are a rolling mountain range that rises from the plains. Among them, the low side peaks, some are only more than 100 zhang high, and the highest main peaks are more than 1,000 zhang, but the dense forest is closed and the demonic beasts are entrenched, but it is not a place that ordinary humans can reach.
Ganguyu was busy in a low mountain range at this time. This winter has been unusually warm, and the snow on the plains and at the foot of Mount Cyprus has melted almost to the ground in the past few sunny days. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather was as good as ever, Gangu Yu couldn't wait to enter the mountain.
Originally, he was going to go into the mountains to harvest the bamboo forest he had planted after a while, but due to the warmer weather, what if those winter bamboo shoots grew into bamboo in advance?
At the beginning, the places where he planted bamboo whips were some plots that were not high in altitude and relatively suitable for bamboo growth. At the same time, the bamboo whip has been optimized by the seed and seedling cultivator, even if this is in the north of the mainland, the growth of these bamboo forests will never be weak. Therefore, the harvesting of winter bamboo shoots is imminent.
Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, which was still full of life in the cold winter, Gangu Yu nodded with satisfaction. If the bamboo forests he planted at the beginning had grown like this, most of the demand for bamboo fiber would have been met next year.
It seems that normal planting according to local conditions is the king's way, and the direction chosen by my brother is correct! Gan Guyu was quite complacent, and turned his head to look at the three brothers of the Gao family, who were in charge of the power: "Tall, you three are responsible for cutting bamboo. Remember not to cut it all down for your brother, just pick those stout old bamboos. ”
The Gao brothers agreed to the promise, and then immediately got busy. Gangu Woo, on the other hand, chose a clean rock back, closed his eyes and sat down.
The Gao brothers naturally had no objection to Ganguyu's approach of closing their eyes and recuperating their minds, but just concentrated on completing the tasks assigned by Ganguyu. In fact, Gangu Yu was not lazy, but used perception to begin to detect the winter bamboo shoots under the ground.
Winter bamboo shoots are one of the most important ingredients produced in bamboo forests. Sweet in taste and cold in nature, it has the effects of clearing heat and invigorating qi, nourishing the liver and brightening the eyes.
Because when Yin Yimo first visited the Natural Forest, he got some fresh bamboo shoots from Gangu Yu, so the dish of fresh bamboo shoots and roast pork became famous in Tingyu Restaurant. Later, Vitamin Life also included this dish in the menu, which made the ingredient of fresh bamboo shoots jump out of the aristocratic circle. More people are well known.
However, few people know the origin of bamboo shoots. Even after Geely Commercial Bank got the bamboo whip from Gangu Yu, almost all the bamboo grown was given to Gangu Yu to make products of the stockings series. After a long time, the talents of Geely Commercial Bank accidentally discovered bamboo shoots in the field, but due to the scarcity of production, they did not continue to dig deeper into the value.
Of course, this is because they don't know that the bamboo shoots that are just the tip of the iceberg.
Winter is the best time to cut down bamboo forests. It is also the best harvest season for winter bamboo shoots. Because some winter bamboo shoots will not break through the soil in the spring and become spring bamboo shoots, reasonable digging will not affect the growth of bamboo forests in the coming year.
When harvesting winter bamboo shoots, ordinary people need to carefully observe the growth of bamboo forests and deduce the hiding place of winter bamboo shoots based on the topography. If you find a crack spreading outward from one center in a bamboo forest, and the soil is soft, there must be bamboo shoots underneath. Experienced bamboo shoot-diggers will dig bamboo shoots along the bamboo whip. The efficiency is amazing. And those who don't know how to do it often don't get too good a harvest.
Of course. For Gangu Yu, who has opened the perspective plug-in, all this is not a problem. He is more concerned about which winter bamboo shoots can be packed and taken away, and which bamboo shoots must be left behind to let them grow into a bamboo forest.
In general, more winter bamboo shoots should be dug in plots with good soil fertility. In the relatively barren plots, dig less to mediate the distribution of nutrients and promote the better germination of bamboo shoots left.
Nearly half of the winter bamboo shoots buried in the soil layer more than one foot thick will break through the soil after the beginning of spring and quickly grow into verdant bamboos. And those shallow whip bamboo shoots buried in the surface layer of half-foot-thick soil. Nearly ninety percent of them will degenerate and decay. Therefore, the main mining target of Ganguyu is these shallow winter bamboo shoots.
Another criterion for judging whether to dig or not is the shape of the bamboo shoots.
Those bamboo shoots with curved shapes, thin bases, or cracked and aged bamboo shoots will basically not be converted into spring shoots, and this part can be safely and boldly harvested. Those with plump bases, developed roots, tender bamboo shoot shells and tightly wrapped bamboo shoot flesh will become spring bamboo shoots in the coming year, and the foundation for promoting bamboo forest breeding must be preserved.
When Gangu Yu touched the situation of the underground winter bamboo shoots about the same, the Gao brothers also cut down this bamboo forest almost completely. Gangu Yu looked at the sparse bamboo forest, then at the pile of dark blue bamboos in front of him, and smiled and put them into the portable warehouse.
After that, he began to dig winter bamboo shoots. Ganguyu didn't want to make a deal of money when it came to the bamboo forests in the Cyprus Mountains, so he was extra careful when digging up winter bamboo shoots with the Controlling Earth element, so as not to damage the bamboo whips and shoot shoots that remained behind.
The winter bamboo shoots were sent to the ground by the tumbling soil, and Gangu Yu easily pocketed them. This is a rare time that he has not used everything to grow and harvest crops, and the heavy sense of harvest brought is also quite different.
At the same time as harvesting the winter bamboo shoots, the soil loosening of the bamboo forest was actually completed. But that's not enough. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ganguyu also mixed some intermediate soil and farm fertilizer into the bamboo forest to help the bamboo forest grow and reproduce in the coming year.
"It's a pity that it's winter, but I didn't find any wild mushrooms such as bamboo sunflowers. Gangu Yu spread his hands and muttered regretfully, and then raised his head at the Gao brothers, "Let's go, go to the next bamboo forest!"
Gangu Yu went into the mountain last time, but he chose a lot of places to bury bamboo whips. Now, except for a small part that seems to have been eaten by the demonic beasts in the mountains and failed to grow into a forest, most of the places are lush and green.
Although in the north, the growth of bamboo has been somewhat inhibited, and the growth is generally not as good as the bamboo forest he planted in the mountains behind the natural forest, but the total amount is not small. Therefore, along the way, Ganguyu has harvested a lot, not to mention the harvest of more than 500 bags of winter bamboo shoots, and countless bamboos, and the raw materials for the paper that will be used to trade with the major forces are ready.
Along the way, Ganguyu also found a lot of low-level magical beasts, and after the weather warmed up, these magical beasts were no longer content to rest in the cave. But when Gangu Yu was about to attack these monsters, he was just going to make some extra money, but he was stopped by the Gao brothers.
"Is there any problem?" Gan Guyu glanced at the third-order seven-purple star marten that had fled quickly, and wondered with some regret.
"The young master doesn't know. We bounty hunters have an unwritten rule that we generally don't go into the mountains to hunt monsters in winter. The tall and honest smile was smirked.
"Mainly because most of the Warcraft are pregnant in winter and lay eggs or litters in spring. In order to be able to hunt Warcraft for a long time, unless you are poor and anxious to use money, no one will hunt Warcraft in winter. The sophomore explained.
Gangu Yu suddenly realized that he couldn't help but be happy. It turns out that there is still a hunting ban period for Warcraft!
"However, there is one type of monster that is an exception. The senior immediately added, "The empire has issued a pursuit mission for the Tongtian Demon Ape, and most of them will choose this time, so as to limit the population of these demonic beasts that no one is willing to hunt at all." ”
Sure enough, there was no buying and selling, and there was no killing. Gangu Yu nodded and smiled: "But after walking for so long, I haven't seen the Tongtian Demon Ape, presumably these guys have also learned to be obedient, so they don't go out much in winter, right?"
When the Gao brothers heard this, Qi Qi nodded helplessly. (To be continued.) )
