Chapter 23 Professor Feng

According to this method, the first half of the project was successfully completed in less than a week, but when the excavation reached a depth of less than one meter, this method was not very effective.The soil quality of the lower layer is different from that of the upper layer. From one meter below, the hard sand and mud can only be dug up by manpower, and then the sand and mud can be removed.

In addition to building embankments, the entire project took nearly a month, and the herringbone ditch excavated by an excavator was completed a week earlier than the water storage pit.In order to prevent the silt from flowing into the water storage pits, Yunli planted ryegrass and a large number of mangrove shrubs on the periphery of the two water storage pits, which can stabilize the soil.

For this project, Yunli spent more than 3 yuan in wages, of which the manpower for digging the water storage pit accounted for more than half.But he didn't feel distressed either. Now the irrigation problem in the southern area has finally been solved. As for the problem in the northern area, we still need to wait for the next rainy season to see the effect of the water supply here before making plans.

After the completion of the construction, Yunli discovered that the two water storage pits looked like a big gourd, and the herringbone-shaped ditch looked like a gourd growing on a vine from a bird's eye view, which had a special flavor.

In addition, Yunli also spent nearly [-] yuan to buy a small ripper from the county. The chassis structure of eight tires can cope with the complicated terrain of Xiaolu Mountain. When driving in the cockpit to work in the field, a large area of ​​cultivated land can be plowed in one afternoon, which is economical and efficient.

It will not be too late to expand the cultivation until the next rainy season. As the year approaches, the villagers have more and more things to do, and Xiaolu Mountain has returned to its usual tranquility.

At noon that day, after eating, Yun Li put on a thin coat and waited by the side of Shihui Road, looking eagerly looking forward to it.Not long after, a white car drove slowly, and under Yunli's instructions, it drove up the newly paved gravel road to Xiaolu Mountain, and finally stopped under the big banyan tree in front of the small building.

"Professor Feng, welcome, welcome, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come." After the car stopped, two people got out of the car one after another. One was a middle-aged man in his fifties with big square glasses. Her hair was already half white and her face was very energetic. Yun Li greeted him with a smile, and shook hands with the middle-aged man.

The other is a young man, a little older than Yunli, about 27, wearing a thick down coat, standing behind the middle-aged man, looking around curiously, with his hands tightly in his pockets, obviously he doesn't like it this cold weather.

"Xiao Li, you're welcome. It's still my fault. There's been a lot going on recently, and I haven't found a chance to come here." The middle-aged man shook hands with Yun Li enthusiastically, gave way, and introduced:

"This is my nephew, who is also a technician in the company. His name is Feng Jiaqi. From now on, it will be your young people's world. Get to know each other, communicate more, and improve each other."

"Hello."

"Ah."

The young man named Feng Jiaqi was obviously not as enthusiastic as his uncle. Yun Li wanted to shake hands with him, but he was reluctant to take his hand out of his warm pocket, and just nodded slightly, as a greeting .

"This way, please, my small shed is right next to the bamboo building. Don't be afraid to joke that compared with those modern and professional greenhouses in your company, I am not even a little witch." Yun Li didn't care about Feng Jiaqi either. With a cold attitude, still smiling, he led the two towards the direction of the bamboo building.

This middle-aged man is Feng Yisong, the owner of a greenhouse planting company in Linshan County. He is just in his early 50s. Before starting the company, he was a professor of forestry in a college in the city.After retiring from the professorship, Feng Yisong started a Feng's greenhouse planting company, which focuses on the development of greenhouse planting and the promotion of hydroponic planting technology, which is quite famous in the industry.

More than two months ago, at that time, Yunli had just built Jifang Garden, and planted the first batch of flower seeds, both in soil cultivation and hydroponics, with the assistance of electromagnetic force, the batch of soil cultivation was naturally no problem, and the results were good. It is also expected.As for the batch of hydroponics, the results were not satisfactory.

In fact, Yunli didn't have any experience in hydroponic plants before. The reason why he tried this was because he returned to Xiaolu Mountain from the orphanage, and not long after, he received a postcard from Lily from abroad.In the photo, she with fluttering long hair is standing in a laboratory-like place, surrounded by clumps of strawberry seedlings hanging with fruit, and she is holding a plate of bright red strawberries, smiling like a flower.

After receiving this postcard, during that time, Yunli carried it with him almost every day, and looked at it whenever he had free time, and then laughed like no one was there, making Lu Ci feel confused and thought that What stimulated him.

In fact, Yunli was indeed stimulated. In his memory, in the past years, when Lily's hair was at its peak, it was only as long as one or two fingers. When she first entered college, she even cut her hair short.Although I knew from Aunt Fang that Lily had grown long hair before, but seeing it now is quite different from what I imagined.

Yun Li could even imagine that if the two really met, he would definitely not be able to restrain his smile, and would laugh out loud in front of her, while Lily would not have any scruples, and would beat him up on the spot, just like when he was a child .

Looking at the photos, Yunli's attention gradually shifted from Lily to the strawberries she was holding and the strawberry seedlings behind her. After looking through the information, Yunli realized that it was a hydroponics technique. Plants can germinate, grow and bear fruit without going through the soil.

The more information he read, the more interested Yunli became in this new planting technique, so he built the Jifang Garden and laid out those bamboo tube hydroponic containers. He tried to cultivate it while reading the information.

The growth of plants is inseparable from water, nutrients, oxygen, temperature and sunlight. The difference between hydroponics and soil cultivation is that soil cultivation uses soil to provide nutrients to plants, while hydroponics relies on nutrients. liquid.

As long as these conditions are adequately provided to plants, they can grow normally and complete their entire life cycle.The two planting methods of hydroponics and soil culture are essentially the same, but they are different in the form of nutrient supply.The core technology of hydroponics is how to deploy nutrient solution so that it can function like soil and provide plants with the nutrients they need. This is also the most difficult point in hydroponics.

Yunli's biggest problem was also in the preparation of the nutrient solution. According to the information in the data, the effect of the prepared nutrient solution was not good, so he thought of finding a professional to consult.By chance, when he was buying strawberry seedlings in the Luzhen market, he happened to meet Feng Yisong who came to investigate.

As soon as they talked about planting crops, the two started talking about it. Yunli was overjoyed when he learned that Feng Yisong was an expert in hydroponics, and patiently asked him for relevant knowledge. Left a call.

In the days that followed, whenever Yunli encountered problems in hydroponics, he would call Feng Yisong for help. Be sure to visit Jifang Garden in Yunli.The end of the year is approaching, and there are not many things going on in the greenhouse planting company, so Feng Yisong spared some time this day to come to Xiaolu Mountain in person to see if Yunli's works are as unique as he described.

"Jifangyuan, the name is good. The fragrant grasses in the world are gathered together, which has a good meaning and is elegant." When entering Jifangyuan, Feng Yisong saw the small wooden board hanging at the entrance, and said with great interest.

"My collection of fragrance garden is still in the process of collecting fragrance, not after the result. You have to understand it as a verb, not a noun." Yun Li smiled wryly, and laughed at himself.

"I also worked as a teacher, why is my Chinese level so much worse than yours?" Feng Yisong jokingly responded.

He really likes Yunli's serious and free-spirited personality, which is an extremely rare quality. Being serious means that you have desires, and if you want to get something, you often can't be free and easy, or pretend to be free and easy.Free and easy, it is easy for people to indulge, be lazy, or even degenerate, and can no longer be serious.Feng Yisong, who has seen countless people, can feel that Yunli is really serious and free and easy, so he wants to make friends, and this time he brought his nephew Feng Jiaqi, hoping that he can learn more about Yunli's advantages.

"These strawberries have been cultivated for almost a month. They seldom bloom and bear fruit just because of their size. The problem is likely to be the nutrient solution." After entering Jifang Garden, Yunli pointed to the long bamboo row and bamboo tube in the middle. The strawberry seedlings on the road hate iron for not being a steel road.

Feng Yisong adjusted his glasses, chose a nearby strawberry, rubbed the heart-shaped green leaves with his hands, pushed aside the strawberry plant, checked the condition of the receptacle and roots, and finally lifted the whole plant up , like a hunting dog, sniffed the roots carefully, then dipped a drop of nutrient solution with a finger, and watched it in a bright place.

Yunli and Feng Jiaqi stood aside without making a sound, Yunli knew that Feng Yisong was checking the overall condition of the hydroponics.And Feng Jiaqi is used to this. Whenever Feng Yisong encounters a new situation in hydroponic planting, it is like a hound finding its prey. , only in his early 50s, his hair is half gray.

Then, Feng Yisong picked up several plants one after another to check, and after a while, he said: "The elements in the nutrient solution are not balanced enough, and the timing of applying the nutrient solution is not well grasped during the cultivation process. You see These roots are long and thick, but some of them have started to turn yellow, and some of them still have broken roots."

Listening to Feng Yisong's comment, Yunli nodded and said yes, in fact, he already had a general understanding of the problem and tried a lot, but nothing worked.

After talking about the roots, Feng Yisong pointed to the stems and leaves above, and continued: "It is commendable that the pH of the nutrient solution is well controlled, and the nutrients are also sufficient, which is very suitable for the growth of strawberries, so your batch is growing well. .”

"Then why can't the flowers bloom? I read on the Internet that plants like mine that are directly cultivated with growing plants usually bloom in three to four weeks. Could it be that there is something wrong with other aspects?" Yunli asked puzzled. .
