Plans are always good, but they can never keep up with changes, and changes always cause headaches.
Traveling all the way through mountains and rivers, they hurriedly arrived at the plantation. Lin Hao and Aunt Zhao found a hole dug by some wild beast under the gate of the plantation. Fortunately, the hole was not dug deep and did not penetrate through. Now it is time to make amends.
It's time to come.
So Aunt Zhao and Lin Hao quickly filled in the hole, then found Zuoli's leftover cement, mixed it with sand and gravel, and then laid it under the gate to reinforce it to prevent it from being dug open again.
After doing this, Lin Hao discovered that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
If it's summer, the time is barely enough, because it gets dark relatively late, and it won't be completely dark until after seven o'clock. There are still about four hours, which is barely enough. But now it's winter, and it's a little after five o'clock.
It's dark. There is only more than an hour left. Even if there is enough time to teach the skills of recruiting aunts, it is not enough time to drive out of the mountain!
After discovering this fact, Lin Hao felt somewhat uneasy. It seemed that he was really going to live in the mountains with Aunt Zhao tonight!
Aunt Zhao saw Lin Hao looking at his watch in a daze. She came up to him suspiciously and said, "Lin Hao, this watch is good. Who gave it to you?"
Lin Hao responded perfunctorily, but secretly smiled bitterly. He looked good, but the time was wrong!
Aunt Zhao seemed to be very nervous and did not realize the serious situation that was coming. She just asked Lin Hao to start teaching her how to transplant dendrobium.
Lin Hao had no choice but to put away those unwanted thoughts, led Aunt Zhao to the back of the house, and began to explain to her the key points of transplanting dendrobium. The first step was naturally to select seedlings.
The dendrobiums in front of us all seem to be the same, but in fact there are differences. They are soft and hard-legged. The overall shape of the two is slightly different. The soft-legged branches are thick and segmented, and they are prone.
The growth pattern gives people the sense that it is full, tender and lush, and highly ornamental; while the hard legs are upright, with thin and long branches, higher than the soft legs, and look like reeds. In terms of medicinal functions
, soft feet are far better than hard feet, but the output of hard feet is higher than that of soft feet.
Aunt Zhao asked: "Lin Hao, which one do you think is better for us to plant?"
Lin Hao said: "We grow dendrobium mainly to sell it to others for medicine. I think it is best to grow the soft-footed one, even if its yield is not as good as the tall-footed one!"
Aunt Zhao nodded and said: "I think so too. Even if we want to become businessmen, we must also be conscientious businessmen!"
Lin Hao laughed. This thing has nothing to do with conscience. Soft feet have their own price, and hard feet have their own price. This time, they will give you one price regardless of whether they are soft or hard, but they will definitely charge it next time.
will be treated differently.
After selecting the seeds, you can’t plant them right away. You must also prepare the substrate. The substrate is a very important thing because it provides nutrients for the growth of dendrobium and determines the growth rate of dendrobium.
Aunt Zhao originally thought that the best substrate to provide nutrients for dendrobium is fertile soil, but Lin Hao told her that no, the best substrate is bark, followed by sawdust!
However, whether it is bark or sawdust, it needs to be crushed, sterilized, fermented, etc., and several materials and substrates of different thicknesses are usually mixed. Of course, if cost is not considered, you can buy it directly. There are ready-made substrates on the market
sell.
After preparing the substrate, the next step is not planting, but preparing the seedlings.
Choose the ones that grow densely and have bloomed. Remove the old ones and cut them from the base of the clustered stems. Try not to hurt the root system when cutting. Only cover the interconnected parts. Open the roots with your hands. No need to use
Cut with a knife. Use the main plant as a group, and then further cut off the old roots.
Next, wash the culture medium at the roots with clean water. Remember to wash it clean, but do it gently to avoid damaging the seedlings. Then put the washed seedlings into the disinfectant, rinse and soak them for a few minutes, take them out, and finally wash them and disinfect them.
The seedlings are cooled in the pergola until the roots turn white before planting!
There are several methods of planting, such as propagation by division, propagation by buds, and propagation by cuttings.
Taking into account the maximum benefits in the shortest time, Lin Hao naturally asked Aunt Zhao to choose to propagate by division. Anyway, there is no shortage of seedlings here... After all the precautions were explained, he also taught Aunt Zhao step by step to transplant a dendrobium plant.
!
The teaching of the technique of transplanting dendrobium has come to an end, and the remaining work is large-area transplanting and daily management. However, these are things for the future. We have to wait until Zhaoyi's company is established and a large number of people are hired to do it.
When walking back from the back of the house, the sky had begun to get slightly dark.
Aunt Zhao sighed: "Lin Hao, when I first started, I thought planting dendrobium was a very simple matter. I just cut off some dendrobium and planted it in the ground. I didn't expect that there are so many details to do so."
A lot of preparation.”
Lin Hao smiled lightly and said: "Everything has foreplay."
Aunt Zhao glanced at him lightly, obviously scolding him for talking nonsense, but the meaning of blame was not strong, but more of an unspeakable charm, which made Lin Hao couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
Although the plan could not keep up with the changes, Lin Hao still followed the plan and continued to explain to Aunt Zhao how to cultivate Antrodia camphorata. In order to let her understand thoroughly, Lin Hao also conducted a live demonstration while explaining.
When he finished explaining the technical essentials of cultivating Antrodia camphorata, it was already completely dark, and he had not yet explained how to plant Cordyceps militaris, so he had no choice but to leave it until tomorrow!
In other words, regardless of whether Lin Hao wanted to or not, he and Aunt Zhao had to stay in the mountains tonight. Thinking of this, his heart started to pound again.
However, Aunt Zhao was obviously much calmer than him. Seeing that it was getting dark, she ordered: "Lin Hao, go and lock the gate of the plantation. I'll go back to the house and light a fire to cook!"
Lin Hao had no choice but to agree. He went out and walked around outside the door to confirm that there was nothing unusual around him. Then he locked the door. When he walked back to the stone house, the lights were already on and the kitchen on the side also rose.
Smoke.
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that the fire had been lit in the stove, and Aunt Zhao was busy washing rice for cooking.
There is no such thing as natural gas in the plantation, only firewood is used, so they all use earthen pots and earthen stoves, which feels a bit like rural kitchens in the mainland.
Aunt Zhao does not cook the rice directly, but steams the rice. After washing the rice repeatedly, she puts it into a high-rim wooden plate, adds water, and then puts it into the steamer. This kind of rice is undoubtedly better at locking in nutrients.
, and the texture is soft and tough, and the rice aroma is stronger.
There is no shortage of food in the plantation. Although it cannot be said that everything is available, it must be meaty and meaty, and the elements must be good. But when Lin Hao went in to help light the fire, he found that Aunt Zhao had brought a lot of food into the mountain from outside in advance.
It seemed that Aunt Zhao had been prepared for it. She had expected to live in the mountains with Lin Hao tonight.
Just seeing these ingredients, Lin Hao was a little dazed, even a little frightened!
Others may not feel much about these ingredients, but as a doctor and with a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, Lin Hao knows that although these ingredients are of different types and have different nutritional contents, they have one thing in common.
That is, they all have the function of strengthening the waist and nourishing the kidneys!
Aunt Zhao, what are you doing? Lin Hao secretly smiled bitterly. My waist is very good and my kidneys are fine. I really don’t need supplements!
Seeing Lin Hao standing there in a daze, Aunt Zhao smiled sweetly and called out: "Lin Hao, what are you doing standing there? Hurry and help me light the fire, and I'll make you some delicious food tonight!"
Lin Hao smiled bitterly again and murmured in a low voice: "It's delicious, but I'm afraid it's hard to digest!"
Aunt Zhao heard his muttering and asked, "Why is it so difficult to digest?"
Lin Hao said: "These things... are very supplementary!"
Aunt Zhao said: "I just need to make up for it!"
Lin Hao said: "Huh?"
Aunt Zhao said: "When you were injured before, you bled so much. How could you do it without being sent back?"
Lin Hao couldn't laugh or cry. She should replenish her blood and Qi, not her waist and kidneys! However, it was not easy to explain all these things to her clearly, and a lot of professional knowledge had to be involved. What's more, she also had a lot of thoughts, for herself
Okay, so in the end he shut up and said nothing more, just burying his head in the fire.
When Aunt Zhao used to run a restaurant, she could cook very quickly, but that was for the guests, so she couldn't do it quickly. However, slow work produces careful work, and delicious, nutritious and fresh dishes require time and thought.
There are three large pots in Zuo Li's kitchen, one for cooking, one for steaming rice and soup, and one for boiling water for taking a shower. But until the water in the boiling pot boils, Aunt Zhao's dishes are not ready yet.
.
Lin Hao, who was in charge of lighting the fire, asked: "Aunt Zhao, what should I do if the water boils?"
Aunt Zhao pointed to the pool on the side and said, "Then add water to it and take a bath!"
Lin Hao was a little hesitant when he heard this. There was no separation between the sink and the kitchen. If he took a bath here, wouldn't he let Aunt Zhao see everything?
Seeing him standing there in a daze again, Aunt Zhao thought he was too lazy to do anything, so she rolled up her sleeves and walked over. While pouring boiling water into the pool, she muttered: "What a young man! He can't even take a bath."
You have to have someone pour the water for you!"
Lin Hao couldn't even laugh or cry. Except when he was hospitalized a few days ago, when had he become a young master?
Aunt Zhao was very quick at her job. She got the bath water in just a short time. Seeing Lin Hao still standing there like a dumb chicken, she asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Hao said: "What didn't I do?"
Aunt Zhao said: "Then take off your clothes. You don't even want me to help you take off your clothes, right?"
Lin Hao was startled and hurriedly waved his hands: "No! No need!"
Aunt Zhao said: "Take it off then!"
Lin Hao hesitated and said: "But..."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Aunt Zhao finally understood, "Do you think I'm sorry for being here?"
Lin Hao didn't speak, but silence was undoubtedly acquiescence!
Aunt Zhao scolded: "Lin Hao, you are a big man, can't you be less pretentious? When I was waiting for you in the hospital, what part of your body did I not see?"
Lin Hao smiled bitterly, at this time and at that time, he had difficulty moving at that time, and the situation was completely different!
Aunt Zhao urged: "Hurry up and take off your clothes and take a shower. I still have to cook and I don't have time to care about you so much!"
Lin Hao was still a little hesitant. He really didn't have the hobby of letting women visit his body.
When Aunt Zhao saw this, she deliberately provoked him and said, "You don't even have the courage to take off your clothes in front of a woman, do you?"
Lin Hao immediately responded: "Who said that!"
Aunt Zhao said: "Then take off your clothes!"
Although Lin Hao knew that this was a trick to provoke the general, he still couldn't help but fell into the trap. He immediately started to take off his clothes and belt, thinking bitterly in his heart, you are not afraid of dirtying your eyes, so what do I have to be afraid of?
Aunt Zhao originally stood there calmly watching him take off his clothes, but when he really took off all his clothes, her heart suddenly trembled, her face immediately turned red, and she quickly turned around, suppressing her pounding.
With a heartbeat, I checked the mutton simmering in the pot...
