I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 77

"Dad, this is Xu Gengyun, a new employee at the forestry farm. He does everything from raising chickens, planting trees, fertilizing and so on. Just find him if you have work."

When I walked to the store, I happened to meet Father Chen who had run out of the rooting fertilizer and came back to get the rooting fertilizer. Chen Mu introduced it smoothly.

"Xu Gengyun, this is my father."

Father Chen heard this, looked at Xu Gengyun's tall and strong figure, and nodded in satisfaction: "Yo, the young man's figure looks like a good seedling for planting trees, but it's a bit tall, and it's easy to stretch your waist."

Then he took the hoe from his hand and leaned it against the wall: "What tree to plant! Come, follow me to carry fertilizer and cuttings!" Then he dragged the man back to the storage room.

Chen Mu pouted.

Fine!

Then he will do it alone.

Picking up the hoe, he was about to leave, but just two steps away, he turned back again, put the seeds in his arms into the bucket, picked up the bucket and walked towards the sandy field.

He is going to grow Mongolian almonds.

It is still summer and the temperature is high. Although the flower stick is resistant to cold and drought, it does not have high requirements on the soil. It likes to grow in places with loose soil, air permeability and good drainage. Most places are suitable for planting, but it has a certain impact on planting temperature. Must ask.

When planting, it is best to plant when the outdoor temperature is 15 degrees. Below this temperature, the seeds cannot grow normally. Above this temperature, the soil temperature will increase accordingly, which will cause burns to the seeds and affect the growth of the seeds. .

Although it has vitality value, it can greatly increase the survival rate of flower sticks, but in order not to attract attention, it is better to wait until autumn.

Chen Mu first filled the bucket with water, and then put the Mongolian almond seeds in to soak and germinate.

As for the disinfection of the seeds, the step of soaking the seeds in 0.5% potassium permanganate or 1% carbendazim had to be given up because Dad Chen did not buy these two separately.

Carrying a bucket and a hoe, Chen Mu came to the barren sandy land where he had chosen to plant Mongolian almonds.

Mongolian almond likes warmth and hates stagnant water. The sandy soil has high density and strong water permeability, which is very suitable for its planting habits.

Putting down the bucket, he spat into each of his palms to reduce the friction between the palm and the handle of the hoe, then swung the hoe one by one and started raking the ground.

Because of the low survival rate of Mongolian almond cutting seedlings, the survival rate is only 5%-8%, and in order to promote the development of lateral roots before planting, it is necessary to cut the roots, the steps are too troublesome, so most forestry companies will only choose to sell Mongolian almonds Seeds or stones, saplings are rarely sold.

The key point for the germination rate and survival rate of Mongolian almond seeds lies in soil preparation and moisture conservation.

Normally, it is best to trim the land a year in advance and carry out the second plow to press green, but now that there is a plug-in of vitality value, this step is omitted again, and the land can be just neat.

Not long after the land preparation, Qian Wei came over with a hoe and started to help.

However, because of the lack of knuckles, digging holes with a shovel, which mostly relies on the strength of the body and feet, is fine, but for this kind of work that needs to be swung out, it is somewhat incompetent to use part of the inertia to lift the soil.

"Uncle Qian, I can come here alone."

Qian Wei, who lost his grip several times and almost let go of the hoe, did not insist.

He was holding a hoe, looking at the seeds soaked in the bucket and the land, and seeing that Chen Mu would habitually dig a hole at a distance of 2 meters by 3 meters after finishing the land, he thought about it, Turned around and left.

Chen Mu didn't pay attention and continued to adjust the ground.

A few minutes later, Qian Wei came back with a bucket full of water in one hand, and there was still a ladle in the bucket.

Then he picked up the seeds, grabbed some as he wished, and was about to put them into the pit.

Just as he was about to put it in, he suddenly stopped and asked uncertainly: "Manager, how many tree seeds should be put in each pit here?"

"Five or six seeds are enough. Water them first and then plant them. Remember to compact the soil after planting."

"oh oh."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wei immediately filled up a ladle of water, and then quickly planted seeds and covered the soil before the water seeped out.

Afterwards, the two cooperated tacitly, and did not call it a day until half a catty of seeds had been planted.

Looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock. Chen Mu, who had forgotten the time to plant trees, was a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Qian, why don't you leave tonight, go back and have a good rest tomorrow during the day."

"No, the family is still waiting for dinner." Qian Wei shook his head and refused.

Chen Mu thought for a while and said, "How about it, Uncle Qian, today you are more than an hour late for get off work, and when you come to work tomorrow, you can be an hour and a half late, as long as you arrive at 09:30."

"Then thank you manager!"

After saying a few more words, Chen Mu made an excuse that he wanted to clean the ground again, so Qian Wei left alone with a bucket.

ten minutes later.

After making sure that no one around was watching, Chen Mu opened the map, used the land planning function to mark the land in front of him, and then injected six vitality points to increase the soil fertility of the land.

After finishing these, he opened the column of vitality value.

[Current vitality value: 337964]

"It's been so long since I haven't used my vitality, and it's only so little, how slow!"

Looking at this string of numbers, Chen Mu was very dissatisfied.

According to this progress, the accumulation of 100 million is estimated to be by the end of September.

"It's too slow!" Chen Mu sighed.

Then he turned his angle of view and looked at what the tourists were doing.

Because this group of tourists arrived late in the afternoon, and the sandboarding time was prolonged, they usually started eating fish at this moment, but this time, these tourists have just started fishing.

I thought about it.

Chen Mu turned around and went back to the shop. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he found another camel and wandered to the oasis.

When they arrived, they saw five or six male tourists arguing with Hadir.

"You guys said three fish per person, but I only caught one fish, how can I say I've caught enough!"

"Your bait is not good, the fish will not take the bait at all!"

"Why are shrimps raised in the lake? What I want to catch are fish, why are only shrimps caught!"

"Be content, you can still catch a shrimp, but I'm still catching nothing!"

"That can only show that you are a qualified fisherman."

"Nonsense, a qualified fisherman is not empty in the Air Force, he is purely a fisherman who has passed the novice reward period and has not renewed his fee."

"The topic has gone too far. Now we are talking about three fish per person. Why don't you let me catch one fish after I caught it!"

"Yes, I caught three fish, but when I took the fish, the fish jumped into the lake on its own. Rounding it all off, I didn't catch a single fish, so why didn't I catch it?"

The people around stopped for a moment when they heard the words, and looked over with complicated eyes.

"Dude, awesome!"

"Smart!"

"Damn, brother, you took advantage of this loophole..."

"Don't talk so much, just say there is something wrong!"

"No problem!"

"There must be nothing wrong with that!"

"That's right, it's just that I didn't catch any fish at all, so how can I say it's full!"

Surrounded in the middle, Hadir, who was about to seal the watermelon fish with a toothpick, was almost insane from the noise.

But he still explained patiently: "Guest, what we've been talking about is three fish per person..."

It's a pity that because he is from the Uyghur nationality, he speaks the Xia language with his own accent, and he speaks slowly, which is simply unstoppable.
