Manor Romance

Chapter 24 Neon Lights

"Illumination, temperature, and ventilation are not too big of a problem. The main problem lies in the nutrient solution. First, the ratio between macroelements and microelements is not done well, and the concentration of macroelements is too high. In addition, from It can be seen from the leaves that you replenish the nutrient solution too often, which is counterproductive." Feng Yisong put the strawberry plants back into the bamboo tube, and analyzed them for Yunli.

"The nutrient solution is replenished twice a week, and the amount is about one-fifth of the total solution. As for the concentration of the elements, I don't have a special measurement tool here, and I get it according to the formula in the book. In terms of elements, there should be no problem in terms of quantity, and I was careful enough when I prepared the nutrient solution." Yunli told the situation in detail, and pointed out the main points, and asked Feng Yisong to give it to the staff.

Feng Yisong laughed, patted Yunli on the shoulder, and explained: "During the phone call before, I told you that it is very important to prepare the nutrient solution. It is to ensure the amount of macronutrients and micronutrients to feed the plants. Provide the nutrients needed for growth, but it does not mean that the more you provide, the better for plant growth. Take your nutrient solution as an example, even if the trace elements are sufficient, but the concentration of macroelements is too high, strawberries can absorb enough To maintain life, they will reduce the intake of trace elements accordingly, which causes them to grow quickly and well, but lose the chain on flowering and fruiting.”

"So that's the case. I never thought that they would be picky eaters like humans." After listening to Feng Yisong's explanation, Yun Li suddenly realized.

"In fact, plants, like people, have their own unique sensory systems. Take this strawberry as an example, a large number of elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are sufficient to maintain their normal growth, but to bloom and bear fruit, they need Sufficient intake of trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, etc. Generally speaking, the ability of plants to absorb macronutrients is much higher than that of micronutrients. When you provide too many macronutrients, they will tend to absorb A large number of elements, but neglecting the absorption of trace elements, is like a child with a partial eclipse." Feng Yisong is worthy of being a professional professor, and in a few words, he analyzed the problem vividly.

After watching the strawberries, Yunli introduced to them the flowers and plants planted in long bamboo tubes on both sides.Most of the seeds that Yunli bought at the flower and bird market back then were planted. With the assistance of electromagnetic force, the germination rate is still very high, but only a small part can grow out.Nowadays, on the long multi-layered hydroponic bamboo tubes, there are some flowers and plants of various shapes growing sporadically, and the growth is still quite good.

"Asparagus asparagus, daisy, and French narcissus, this should be Phnom Penh Molan, also known as Baosuilan, the color is black and red, and it often blooms during the Lunar New Year, so it gets its name. It’s the first time I’ve seen hydroponics introduced into our country.” With just one glance, Feng Yisong was able to report the names of these flowers and plants one by one, including the place of origin, growth habit, flowering period, etc. Yunli was greatly impressed.

"All the ornamental flowers and plants are planted here, and the neon lights you always want are also in it. You can dig as much as you want." Jifang Garden is not big. After visiting the hydroponic area, Yunli said Take the two of them to the innermost area, where there are potted plants and experimental fields, with various plants planted on them.

"Neon lights? Uncle, why do you want this?" Feng Jiaqi, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking.With the heating of solar lamps, the temperature in Jifang Garden is much warmer than outside, but Feng Jiaqi still puts his hands in his pockets, looking careless.

Feng Yisong held his glasses and glanced around, smiled, then went straight to the right side, in front of an experimental field surrounded by a small bamboo fence, squatted down, and said happily: "This neon light is not that neon light, look at these Little guys, each one is crystal clear, it's really hard to put it down."

Seeing the joyful look on his uncle's face, Feng Jiaqi also walked over, only to find that the neon light they were talking about was a kind of succulent plant, not as big as the mouth of a bowl, and covered with pebble-shaped little nipples. *, compact and orderly, round in shape, dark and light in color, mostly turquoise, with various stripes on the skin, crystal clear inside, if illuminated by a light source, it looks exactly like neon lights Somewhat alike.

"It's exactly the same as the photo you posted. It's really rare. It's hard to find another one in Linshan County that can grow such a transparent and flawless neon jade dew." Seeing these small and transparent guys, Feng Yisong As happy as a child, I stretched out my palms to stroke them carefully, as if I was touching my long-awaited toy.

Apart from going to the appointment to see Yunli's hydroponic planting and give him some guidance, Feng Yisong also has a very clear purpose for coming this time, which is to ask Yunli for some neon jade dew plants.

Their Feng's greenhouse planting company does not directly produce agricultural products like Yunli's Xiaolu Mountain, but cultivates seedlings for sale, and provides planting guidance and consulting services. Simply put, it is a professional seedling wholesale store. .In addition to the common crop seedlings, their company has recently been slowly expanding into the field of small indoor potted plants in an attempt to tap new business opportunities.

After several investigations, it was found that succulent plants and evergreen hydroponic flowers and plants are most in line with the consumption tastes of urbanites. First, they are pleasing in appearance and have high ornamental value. Second, they are small and easy to grow and require little maintenance. They can grow well, and they also have functions such as air purification, vacuuming, and radiation protection. They have a wide audience and have huge market potential.

In their greenhouses, several succulent plants have been successfully cultivated, and they are ready to be put on the market, but when cultivating the variety of neon lights, problems have arisen.Survival rate and appearance can be achieved by adjusting nutrients, but the disadvantage of this method is that it cannot maintain the permeability of the body, resulting in too many tendons and spoiling the appearance. It cannot achieve the effect of neon lights, and naturally it is not too high benefits.

During a certain phone call, Feng Yisong learned that Yunli also grows neon jade dew, so he asked him about the situation, and asked Yunli to take some photos for him with his mobile phone.After looking at it, Feng Yisong found that Yunli's neon jade dew not only grows well, but also has a compact and complete shape. He made an agreement with Yunli that he must come to Xiaolu Mountain.

With these pure neon jade dew and Yunli's cultivation experience, Feng Yisong believes that he will be able to cultivate a batch of ideal neon jade dew in a short time, which can be launched into the market as the main product and win for the company. more earnings.

For Feng Yisong, it is gratifying to be able to generate income, but what really makes him feel meaningful is that he can personally cultivate satisfactory plants, which is probably what he has been pursuing most in his life.A breakthrough in a profession is more inspiring than an increase in interests, not to mention being able to make like-minded friends is an unspeakable joy.

After seeing the neon jade dew, Feng Yisong didn't dig it right away. Under Yunli's introduction, he looked at several kinds of earth-cultured plants one after another, and had some exchanges, which benefited Yunli a lot.

After visiting Jifang Garden, Yunli took the two of them to the two circular storage warehouses to the south.These two warehouses were previously built with bamboo, mainly used to store the harvested ryegrass to make organic fertilizers, and a small shed was built next to it to store farm tools and park the small ripper.

One of the circular warehouses, Yunli transformed it into a simple nutrient solution preparation room. Since the warehouse was built next to the well, he adapted measures to local conditions and built several large wooden barrels next to the well, with various materials placed around it. , with ore, dry mud, wood, and some bagged materials.

"This is my nutrient solution preparation room. I use earthen methods, and I just played around with it myself." Yun Li pushed open the bamboo door and led the two of them in. Although the things are very simple, it's all about him. It was built a little bit, and he was very proud of it.The place was small, and it seemed a bit crowded when the three of them entered, but Feng Yisong obviously didn't care about this, not only looking, but also rolled up his sleeves to scoop up the solution in the barrel to check.

"Xiao Li, you are not a good student. In the school laboratory, if a student made the nutrient solution like this, then he will not be able to enter my laboratory within this month."? After checking the solution in the barrel, Feng Yisong shook his head, pretending to be serious.

"Haha, I'm just a half-way monk, not in the Buddha's roster, and your temple has many rules, but I'm a wine and meat monk, how can I live happily, this family will not be kept to the next family." Yun Li said with a smile.He compared the regulations and formulas in the book to temples, showing that he is not a person who plays cards according to common sense, he does what he likes, and does not need to abide by any rules and regulations.

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha kept it in his heart. This is the highest state of being a monk. After I started my own business, I also understood that doing business is different from teaching, and practice is different from experimentation. I am full of ink, and sometimes it is not as good as a few. Bold and absurd ideas are effective." Feng Yisong looked at his nephew who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and said with emotion.

Feng Jiaqi is a major in forestry management. He works as a technician in the company, but all he does is management work, and basically does not touch scientific research and cultivation.Feng Yisong is very clear that in this era, technology is the core productivity, and relying on technology can promote industrial development.He really wanted Feng Jiaqi to take over the work of scientific research, but his family didn't agree with it. After all, he was a vivid example. He was tired and hard. To put it bluntly, it was self-destructive. It would be easier to sit in a management seat. .

"Old Monk Jigong said the last two sentences, 'If the world learns from me, it's like entering the way of a demon'. It's okay for me to make these things for myself. If I really use it to invest in planting, no amount of money will be enough to pay for it." Yun Li defended with a smile.
