The first thing Liu Hai did when he got home was not to check the orchids in the space, nor to have dinner, but to sort out the knowledge on pepper cultivation!
Liu Hai ignored the dinner that his mother had prepared and went back to his bedroom first, taking out paper and pen to sort out his memories!
After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. It is not safe to memorize it by force. Liu Hai is afraid that he will forget some knowledge. Besides, although his father and mother are farmers, one has a junior high school education and the other has a high school education. They are both literate and grow these peppers themselves.
The main purpose of writing down the knowledge is to prepare it as a teaching material for them!
The entire three-page document contains all the processes recorded in the book for cultivating and growing peppers, as well as some methods for preventing and treating common pepper diseases.
Liu Hai knew that he would have to go to college in September this year, so he wanted to help his father arrange the pepper planting matter first.
Although the bangs plan is not big, it is not small either!
Since you can grow peppers of much better quality than those on the general market, you can definitely make money! The most important thing is to grow the peppers yourself first!
What Liu Hai needs to do most now is to build a vegetable garden for growing peppers! If you want to plant a large area, but also want to dazzle the eyes of the world so that the soil in the space is not noticed by the world, then it is very necessary to build a greenhouse!
Liu Hai's family is so poor that they don't even have a black-and-white TV set. They have to borrow money for tuition fees, so they can't afford to build a greenhouse at all!
So at present, it seems that the more than 600 orchids in the space may be Liu Hai's only hope for obtaining funds!
"Brother - the food is hot, it's time to eat!" Just as Liu Hai stopped writing, his sister Liu Chen shouted crisply at the door of Liu Hai's bedroom.
"Here it comes, come right away!"
After Liu Hai sorted out the knowledge about pepper cultivation, he handed it over to his father Liu Qinglin for study. He hurriedly took a few bites of rice and went to the room.
I took two bamboo baskets for harvesting rice and fashionable rice at home and entered the mysterious space. A pile of orchid seedlings like a hill was piled at my feet.
Liu Hai put the seedlings into the bamboo basket one by one.
Six hundred and thirty-five plants!
Since the roots are still carrying soil, two bamboo baskets that can hold hundreds of kilograms of rice can also hold these 650 orchid seedlings!
Liu Hai thought for a while, went out, and took another pair of baskets into the mysterious space. This time, Liu Hai's baskets were not to hold the remaining orchid seedlings. Instead, they ran directly to the bright place ahead!
Liu Hai has already thought about how to save these seedlings!
The method is still these space soils, but this time it is used in a different way!
Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Hai quietly got up and went straight to the hillside behind his yard. The hillside behind the yard was all Liu Hai's mountainous land, and medicinal herbs were planted in the largest pieces of mountainous land.
Several small plots are also planted with other crops.
The destination of bangs is your own peanut land!
The peanut planting in this area is relatively sparse, and the distance between rows is relatively large. Moreover, the peanut seedlings have not grown long enough at this time. The size of the peanut seedlings is about the same as that of the orchid seedlings, which is just right to hide them!
When Liu Hai arrived at the peanut field, he took advantage of the darkness to enter the mysterious space and took out the basket filled with orchid seedlings and the basket filled with space soil!
Working until noon, Liu Hai planted all 650 orchid seedlings densely with the soil in the gaps between the peanut seedlings. Fortunately, in order to extract peanut oil, Liu Hai's family used the largest plot in the back mountain for planting this year.
Peanuts require more than an acre of dry land so they can be planted!
In the last two baskets, one and a half baskets of soil were used up, leaving half a basket of soil.
Liu Hai thought for a while, then returned home, picked up the bucket, and ran to the river down the mountain to pick up a load of water.
I grabbed a handful of space soil and put it in the water, and something strange happened!
Space soil actually melts in water like snow!
"So soluble?!"
Liu Hai grabbed a few more handfuls of space soil and poured it into the water. The space soil seemed to melt immediately when it entered the water. Until Liu Hai poured the remaining half of the space soil into one of the buckets of water, it did not reach the zero point of dissolution! It was like
Water and wine still dissolve and can be mixed at will!
Liu Hai poured the remaining quarter of the basket of soil into another bucket of water, and it melted again.
Liu Hai started to water the orchids with a gourd.
Each orchid has a small scoop, and only 70 or 80 orchids have been watered. Two buckets of water have been used up. There is no other way. Liu Hai found a place full of rocks to cover himself, and entered the mysterious space. There was a basket to pick out once the space was unearthed.
outside world.
Continue to carry water, water the flowers, water the flowers, carry water. It was not until the sun was almost turning west that Liu Hai watered all the orchids.
"Gulu——"
There was a growl in my stomach, and the moment I lowered my bangs, a feeling of hunger spread throughout my body.
Only then did Liu Hai remember that he had been busy all day, and he hadn't had a drop of water all day long! He just seemed to be obsessed with doing things, thinking about getting things done without any distractions. When he woke up,
Suddenly I felt dizzy.
Bangs knew it was just a sign of fatigue and severe hypoglycemia.
Liu Hai worked hard, folded all the baskets, put the buckets into the baskets, and walked home swinging on a pole.
Before entering the door, I found my mother Xiao Yun and my sister looking at the courtyard door.
"Brother - where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time! Hey, what are you doing?" Liu Chen just asked Liu Hai where he had gone. When he saw his brother carrying a basket and bucket on his shoulders, he was curious.
All of a sudden, I turned to the question of what to do with my bangs.
"Yes, Hai'er, what are you doing with the basket? Why do you look so bad? Why didn't you come back for lunch? Are you starving?"
Xiao Yun suddenly noticed that his son was pale and walked lightly, as if he had been hungry for several days!
"Mom, don't ask, just find me something to eat quickly. I'm almost hungry! So, go make me a cup of sugar water."
Liu Hai's weak voice made Xiao Yun and her daughter jump.
After drinking a large bowl of sugar water and two large bowls of rice, Liu Hai felt that his body had regained a little energy.
"Dad, how is the research on pepper seed cultivation going?"
Liu Hai knew that his father was good at growing crops, and with systematic information for reference, there should be no problem in cultivating pepper seeds!
Sure enough, Liu Qinglin gave him a definite return.
"There is no problem with pepper planting. It's just that we just started planting too few peppers. We don't know how many pepper seedlings we can cultivate from the seeds collected from five pepper trees."
"Dad, let's not rush. We are cultivating seedlings on the vegetable patch in the front yard. In fact, I think that with only five pepper trees, we can collect four to five hundred pepper seeds. We have just started. If we have fewer pepper trees, the risk will be lower."
Last night, Liu Hai and his father discussed the idea of planting this "new variety" of peppers to sell on the market. Liu Qinglin saw with his own eyes the fruitful peppers on the pepper trees that had been optimized by space soil, the huge size of the peppers, and the taste of the peppers.
I have tasted the delicious taste of optimized chili peppers! So I really agree with bangs’ idea.
