115. Farmhouse 2.
But as for himself, where could he find such a suitable manager? Thinking of this, Gu Cheng felt a headache.
"Okay, let's go for a walk outside so that Mr. Gu can take a closer look at the operation of the entire manor."
Lin Bo chatted with Shang Yan for a while and ended the conversation with satisfaction. He had not forgotten the purpose of their visit today. It was only right to do business first.
- Gu Cheng stood up following Lin Bo's movements and answered with respect.
"Uncle Lin, just call me Gu Cheng. I'll have to trouble you for the rest."
"What's the trouble? It's not troublesome, and it doesn't require any effort. It's just a matter of words."
As he said that, he walked in front of the two people and began to explain outside.
"Here, part of the wheat has been planted. Of course, it will be harvested soon. It looks like we can start next month. After harvesting the wheat, we can plant corn. It will be seamless."
Gu Cheng looked at the wheat field in front of him, which was about five or six acres of land. The ears of wheat were all heavy, and his body was bent under the weight of the wheat grains above. The top ones were almost all yellow, and only the middle part of the straw was still a little green.
.
Zhoushi is located in the north, and can only grow wheat and corn. Rice is naturally not suitable for it, but the merchants are not worried about this. The rice they eat comes from Eastern Xinjiang, and the quality and taste are all top-notch.
The price can make ordinary people stunned when they see it.
"Here, it's a greenhouse. It's full of vegetables. Green onions, leeks, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green vegetables are all the most suitable vegetables at the moment. The freshest ones are picked every day and are given to you by the manor's driver.
When transported to the city, no pesticides are used during the entire process, which is very healthy.”
Lin Bo looked at the greenhouse in front of him. It was roughly the size of a school football field. Although the output was sparse, there was no problem in supplying daily food to a few people in the business. As for others, they didn't have that blessing to share.
"Lin Bo, I have a question."
Gu Cheng interrupted Lin Bo's introduction to the topic and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"If we don't use pesticides, wouldn't the vegetable leaves be full of insect holes? How to prevent insect damage?"
As we all know, vegetables are most afraid of this problem, so they are in a dilemma. If you want to be healthier without pesticide residues, you will definitely be full of insect eyes. If you want vegetables to look better, you can only use pesticides.
Pests are killed.
"There are other ways."
Lin Bo smiled, touched the white beard on his chin, and started to explain.
"We farmers are very smart. Although bugs are more hateful and pesticides are more convenient, as long as there is a need, there is a solution. When I first learned about this solution, I was full of surprise."
Then, even if the mystery is revealed, every time there are insect pests on the vegetables, the employees who look after the greenhouse will buy some powerful chili peppers and make chili pepper water. This chili pepper water will feel burning when it is dripped on people's hands and skin.
, as if it was burned.
Naturally, pests are no more resistant than the human body. Under the attack of the powerful pepper water, they will die directly, and naturally there will be no more pests.
When Gu Cheng heard this, he was also surprised. This has to be praised for the wisdom of the working people. Life is full of knowledge. Without Lin Bo's explanation, he would not have figured it out.
After dispelling this doubt, a few people continued to walk downstairs. The surroundings of the villa were divided into areas. From above, they looked very harmoniously connected and did not interfere with each other.
"This is an orchard, and the fruits grown here are all suitable for us, such as apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, plum trees, watermelon fields, and golden melons."
A large part of fruit cultivation depends on the climate and region. For example, grapes and cantaloupes from the frontier have no conditions to grow in Zhoushi. There are also coconuts and dragon fruits from islands. Zhoushi belongs to the warm temperate zone.
The semi-humid monsoon climate is suitable for the growth of these fruits, and the rest can only be purchased through purchase.
"Uncle Lin, is it better to buy saplings for these fruit trees, or is it more cost-effective to transplant them directly into trees?"
Gu Cheng asked again for the secret. It was rare to meet a knowledgeable person, so naturally he had no shame in asking and solved all the doubts.
"Well, it depends on personal requirements. Saplings have the benefits of saplings, and mature trees have the benefits of mature trees. Of course, for large-scale planting, saplings are more cost-effective. Apples bear fruit in three years, and most of today's pear trees
It is grafted, which tastes better, and the growth time is also shortened a lot. It can bear fruit in two years, and it takes three years for a peach tree. Watermelon has no effect, and can be harvested in ninety days."
Lin Bo looked at Gu Cheng as if he really didn't know much about this area of knowledge, and he carefully explained the news he learned.
Gu Cheng looked at the tree and saw that the apples had begun to grow small fruits. According to Lin Bo, they could be harvested in August.
There are also some chickens and ducks running in groups in the orchard. The feathers are bright and energetic, and the feathers of this kind of chicken are even more beautiful. They are made of black and white, as if stained with ink.
Likewise, he immediately gained Gu Cheng's love.
Lin Bo also explained that this kind of chicken is a special breed, called imperial concubine chicken. The eggs it lays are smaller than other chickens, but the taste is richer, and the meat is also very delicious. The meat is extremely delicious.
It has the smoothness of native chicken, the firmness of pheasant, and the delicious taste of birds. It is an ideal nutritional supplement.
In addition, they spend all day in the orchard free-range, and their food is earthworms underground and fruits fallen from the trees, so the meat has a bit of fruity flavor. Shang's mother likes this kind of chicken the best.
After Gu Cheng learned this, he made up his mind to breed this in his next manor. If nothing else, the fact that it was rich in nutrients was enough to impress him.
Next to the orchard is a square fish pond. According to Lin Bo's introduction, there are a lot of fish fry here. When you are free, you can get a lot just by fishing. This is Shang's favorite place. Every time
When you come here, you should hold a fishing rod and experience the fun of fishing.
There is also the cultivation of soft-shelled turtles. Although it can be regarded as aquaculture, it is still more of a wild state, allowing them to grow freely to ensure the deliciousness of the meat.
After walking around like this, Gu Cheng had a good understanding of the manor. This was exactly the style of the ideal manor in his mind. It was not only a country retreat villa, but also the best place for children to get in touch with nature.
