Manor Romance

Chapter 72 The Valley Visitor
This is the case in the eastern area, and it is even more unimaginable in the west. It is extremely difficult to develop, and we can only take one step at a time.In this area in the east, Yunli has already had a development plan. There are two relatively flat areas in the woodland that can be transformed into cultivated land, and one is a depression near Xiaolu Mountain. The regular round bowl has many downward bends, forming a circle of mountain folds, which is quite peculiar, but after modification, it can still meet the needs of large-scale farming.

The other one is near Xiayong Village, which belongs to the hilly land. To the east is the terraced field area of ​​Xiayong Village, and to the west is the hilly land. The terrain is relatively flat. It is the most suitable place for planting in Dalu Mountain. There are nearly [-] Mu range, but because it is close to Xiayong Village, enough forest area should be left for water and soil conservation. The actual usable land is only about [-] mu.

If these two pieces of land can be utilized, the production of the Spotted Deer Manor will be greatly improved, but the soil quality of the entire Dalu Mountain is poor. Even with self-made special fertilizers, it will not be possible to change overnight. Finish.

The road was not open, and the terrain was uneven, so the rippers could not be used at all. Xu Lin could only lead people to open up wasteland by hand. The progress was very slow, and the water supply was also a big problem, so the two pieces of land were reclaimed in a short time Nei can't count on it, so he can only temporarily sow the seeds of various pastures, and burn them when they grow up, trying to improve the fertility of the land in this area as soon as possible.

There are not many agricultural machines on the market that are suitable for the terrain of Dalu Mountain. Yunli has never thought of bulldozing and making a major transformation of Dalu Mountain. Doing so will do great harm to the environment and landform. It is not within his consideration, so he can only seek help from professionals to design and customize suitable agricultural machinery.

After inquiring about several factories and consulting with Feng Yisong, I found that this matter is not as simple as imagined. Take the most basic ripper as an example. There are several different types on the market, large, medium and small. It can cope with various complex environments, but its functions are too single and its pertinence is not high, and its usefulness is limited in mountainous areas like Dalu Mountain.

It's not impossible to make a custom one, but the price is not something Yunli can afford. Moreover, the level of mechanical technology in the vicinity is generally not high, and it is difficult to meet the demand. With the principle of preferring shortages, this matter can only be put on hold temporarily.

When the manor was first conceived, one of the very important concepts was to realize a highly automated planting model, replace manpower with modern machinery, liberate people from tedious and repetitive farm work, and devote their energy to places that need them more. But from the current point of view, there is still a long way to go to realize this concept.

Although there are many things to do, Yunli can arrange them properly, and he doesn't hesitate to spend money. He has recruited enough people to help, and all the plans are being carried out in an orderly manner. Apart from daily inspections, what he does most now is to stay in the bamboo building Practice electromagnetic force here.

Building a manor is his ideal, while cultivating electromagnetic force is directly related to his life, so he can't slack off in the slightest.The higher the stage, the more difficult it is to cultivate. The cultivation of Qingniu is much more difficult than that of Guangniao. Even with the help of ginkgo tree, the progress is not as fast as when practicing Guangniao.

Moreover, the longer the cultivation time, the better. The energy Yunli can absorb every day is limited. After reaching the upper limit, he can no longer improve by half a point. Even if he has cultivated the electromagnetic force to the third stage, the time he can practice every day is only about five. , about six hours, so the quality is very important, and the work of finding other suitable plants cannot be stopped. The ginkgo tree that Lin Changqing sent to himself can be said to be sleepy and met a pillow.

After adding the attribute of the light bird to the wooden magnetic array, the crops in the field grew significantly faster, and their vitality was also enhanced. The attribute of the blue cow is strength. I don't know what effect it will bring after adding the wooden magnetic array. Very worth looking forward to.

At dusk that day, Shen Hong hurried over from the field, called everyone up, and beckoned everyone to go to the mountains mysteriously, without saying the reason, which whetted everyone's appetite, and everyone followed with great interest She, go and see what makes her so happy.

Go west all the way, and finally come to the gourd reservoir in the valley. It is now the rainy season, and the large and small reservoirs are full of rainwater. The small dam made of mud and rocks can hardly stop the overflow There is a lot of rain, but this is not a hindrance. The more water sources, the better. It seems that the excavation of this project was a very correct decision.

The low bushes that were planted around at the beginning grew quite well, and were already half a person tall, and the lush areas had grown into patches. Even though this place was no longer within the range of Xiaolu Mountain, Yunli still planted simple bushes around it. The wood magnetic array greatly improves the surrounding growth environment.

When approaching the cistern, Shen Hong made a gesture to let everyone move forward lightly, making everyone's heart itch, but Yunli soon became aware of the bushes that looked calm, and there were many hidden treasures inside. For less active creatures, this aura was not unfamiliar to Yunli, but he was very patient, he didn't say it right away, and followed behind to watch quietly.

Leading everyone to hide behind a big tree, Shen Hong pointed to a bush in the distance, and said, "You won't believe it if you tell me, the valley has already been occupied, so this is our territory, what do you think we should do?" ?”

"Which blind guy dares to provoke us, is he deaf or blind, not to mention what is there to occupy in this deep mountain and old forest?" Xu Lin asked puzzled.

"Wait, you all calm down and listen, is this voice familiar?" Uncle Li was not young, but his ears were still very sharp, and he soon noticed the situation, and said expectantly.

Everyone quieted down as promised, and soon heard the familiar voice from Uncle Li. Lu Ci had never heard of it before, and he didn't know what was going on. He looked confused, and Xu Lin also said happily after hearing the clue: "This sound is the call of the wild ducks in Banlu Mountain. Although I haven't been in the mountain for a long time, I can't forget this sound."

"Looking at the smiling face of the boss, I don't think I need to explain it?" Shen Hong turned her head and asked with a smile.

Yun Li nodded, and replied: "Of course I know, and I also caught and roasted it myself, and I still remember the taste."

Last year when they went to the mountain to cut bamboo, Yunli, Huang Yanli's family and old brother Chen accompanied him into the mountain, and they met this wild duck. At that time, under the command of Huang Yanli's father, Huang Damin, they successfully captured several wild ducks, and used beautiful It's hard to get the taste off your tongue.

That time when Rong Haiming came by way, the two of them went into Spotted Deer Mountain once. Yunli originally wanted to catch some wild ducks so that he could taste the wild game in the mountains, but unfortunately, he was unlucky and couldn't find any after searching for a long time. , and never looked for it again.

I learned from Old Brother Chen and the others that due to overhunting, the number of wild ducks in the spotted deer mountain is already very small. If it is not controlled, in a few years, the wild ducks may become extinct like the spotted deer. There will be one less peerless delicacy, which is a result that no mountain dweller wants to see.

After discovering the existence of the nest of the wild ducks caught last time, they deliberately released one of them to keep the fire for the wild ducks to continue to reproduce. This behavior left a deep impression on Yunli, so he still knows I remember the scene at that time.

"Listening to the continuous calls, there should be several groups of wild ducks in the bushes. It's a pity that Xu Bo didn't come today. He is a master at catching wild ducks. With him, none of these guys will escape." After the accident, Xu Lin never entered Banlu Mountain again, and he hadn't tasted wild ducks for many years. This time when he encountered them, the taste from his memory came back again, making his index finger twitch.

Hearing what Xu Lin said, Uncle Li next to him was a little unhappy: "Old man Xu is a master at catching wild ducks. The whole village knows that he is right, but I, Li Xing, also have two brushes. I want to catch this duck." Congye Duck is quite sure."

"No, who doesn't know that you were a good hunter when you were young, proficient in bows, arrows, earthen guns, traps, and traps. Of course, it is easy to deal with such a few wild ducks." Xu Lin immediately responded tactfully when he heard the smell of acetic acid. Li Bo coaxed him to nod repeatedly, very intoxicated.

The two elders of the Spotted Deer Manor are both highly respected figures in the village. When they were young, they both had their own strengths. When they were working together, they would inevitably talk about the glorious deeds of the past years, brag about each other, and sometimes they would get red-faced when they argued. , the vigor of being serious, they are just like two old urchins, making people dumbfounded.

Xu Lin can be regarded as the little leader of the two elders, but his seniority is there. He is usually sandwiched between the two of them, and he wants to please both sides. Xu Ping, the younger brother of the village director, is much inferior.

"Do you still have doubts about Uncle Li's ability? Even I have heard of your deeds in my life. It is called a legend. Let's not talk about it. Let's quickly find a way to catch a few to satisfy our greed. I haven't eaten this stuff for many years, and my stomach is beating." Shen Hong also came over to compliment her, she used to be from Shanglu Village, and went to the mountains with her parents when she was a child, and tasted this wild duck It's just that after my parents divorced, I didn't go to the mountains much.

Among the crowd, only Lu Ci had never tasted wild ducks, and he couldn't understand why Shen Hong and the others were so eager for this kind of mountain and wild things, almost drooling, and even Yunli looked eager to try it. , aroused her curiosity.

"Xiaoli, wait for the two of us to attack Uncle Li. This wild duck is very smart and timid, and it's not easy to catch." Meimei was in front of him, and Xu Lin couldn't bear it anymore, but before making a move, he still had to ask Seek Yunli's opinion.
