cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 24 A good start
After the fish fry were put into the rice field, Zhang Wei was a little nervous in the first few days, but later on, Zhang Wei's life seemed to become much more relaxed than before.Get up in the morning and inspect the front and back yards as usual, then pull out a basket of fresh grass and feed the pigs. The vegetable field and fruit trees are all covered by pig manure. Zhang Wei would rather be hungry than the two pigs. However, looking at this The pig grows up day by day, Mr. Zhang estimates that it will grow five hundred catties by the New Year.

After breakfast, Zhang Wei was put into a frame with some fish feed in it, and in the morning he sprinkled the feed to feed the fish.Check to see if the field eels have been drilled out of the hole, and the whole morning has basically passed.Both eels and snakeheaded fish are carnivores and prefer to drill into the mud, so this is what they should pay special attention to when patrolling.However, there is a question that is strange to say, these eels seem to have changed their habits since they came here. They never burrow into the soil, eat some fish feed at noon, and burrow into the aquatic plants to eat snails at night.

Zhang Wei has been observing for the past few days whether there is any reaction between the soil and the pond water. The fish have adapted to it, and the rice grows better than others. Similarly, the water plants in the rice fields grow better, the water plants are good, and the snails are also good. More, as if the snails in the whole field are running to this side, even the worms are extraordinarily abundant, so the ricefield eel and black fish in the field do not have a big meal occasionally, but have a big meal every once in a while. Now some fish Even if there is fish feed, they don’t eat it, and water bugs and snails can’t finish it, so why eat fish feed?Although there are many worms, fish are happy to eat them. Standing by the rice fields, you can often see black fish running high in the field, and every time they jump up, a worm is eaten into their mouths.The fish are happy to eat. Seeing that the fish in the rice field are not only not sick, but also grow up day by day, Zhang Wei, the owner, likes it even more.

After observing for nearly half a month, Zhang Wei finally came to the following conclusion.The soil and pond water have almost no effect on animals, but they have a huge effect on plants. To put it scientifically, it is basically improving genes. Zhang Wei has been sprinkling soil and pond water a lot these days. The rice in the rice field is now seen It looks a lot higher than that of the other farm next door. The rice of other people’s family has been sprayed twice, but the rice in Mr. Zhang’s field has not been sprayed once, and it is not sick at all.There are more insects in the rice fields than in other houses, but this insect seems to only know how to eat tender grass.

I haven’t used the medicine to treat the disease, and I don’t need to use the medicine to kill the insects. What do the fish in my field eat when the insects are gone... So since the practice of fish farming in the rice field, Zhang’s rice not only does not need to be treated with pesticides, but also grows well. It’s also very good, and the fish in the rice fields are also growing happily. This makes the villagers admire Zhang Wei, a city boy. Not only is he skilled in growing vegetables, but he was also a good at raising fish in rice fields.

Since Zhang Wei’s rice field raised fish, everyone has also discovered a benefit. It seems that there are a lot less bugs in their own fields, and there are fewer bugs in their own fields, but there are more in Zhang’s rice fields. The ground is average.

In any case, fish farming in Zhang Wei's rice fields seems to be a successful start at least for now, and the days to come are still long.However, at this point, a virtuous circular biological chain appeared in front of Zhang Wei, resting the soil, and the pond water nourishes the plants, and the plants can attract insects, and insects are the best feed for fish in rice fields.

Seeing that the fish in the fields are getting stronger day by day, Zhang Wei can finally let go of his hanging heart. At this time, it is already the middle of May, and he is only busy with the fish in the rice fields. At first glance, even Mr. Zhang was busy picking vegetables.Xiaoqingcai has finished harvesting another batch of garlic. The unharvested garlic is about to be harvested at this time, and the garlic seedlings that have been harvested next to it are still green, as if it is hard to tell that it is the harvest season.

The apples and pears in the backyard are the size of eggs, the peaches seem to be even bigger, and the dozens of green-piped watermelons in the melon seedlings seem to weigh more than ten catties.In Zhang Ye's words, the pig manure in his house is particularly strong, and this year's watermelons have grown very large, and each melon will weigh [-] to [-] catties when it matures in about ten days.Not only are there a lot of watermelons, but there are also a lot of melons in the backyard, but all of them are hidden under the melon seedlings, and if you walk among them, you may step on one of them if you are not careful.Zhang Wei only felt that the melon was a bit greenish and whitish. Mr. Zhang said it was because the melon had started to turn white. When the whole melon was completely white, the melon would be fully ripe at that time. Naturally ripe melons would be the best at that time. food.

However, Zhang Ye said that Zhang Wei, who saw melon seedlings and melons for the first time, naturally nodded in agreement. However, now he knows one thing, these melons are not edible yet, and watermelons have to wait a long time One month, the melon has to wait for the melon to turn white and the meat to be fragrant.These can't be eaten, and the tomatoes are full of red.

Underneath the tomato tree with a plant length of more than two meters, Mr. Zhang erected a lot of branches as sticks to support the full tomatoes hanging on it.Looking at the tomato tree still growing rapidly, Zhang Wei thought, if it were a perennial plant, the tomato would surely grow into a towering tree.

The few tomatoes that were planted in the melon seedling field for the sake of greed are now so huge. For this reason, Mr. Zhang deliberately moved the melon seedlings aside around the tomatoes to prevent the melon seedlings from climbing up.These giant tomato trees made the old village chief who had been hanging around Zhang Wei's house these days murmur.It is said that he has lived so big, and has never seen such a big tomato tree.Not only is the tree bigger, but the fruits it bears are also bigger. The reddish tomatoes are as big as the mouth of a small bowl.

The greedy Zhang Wei found a reddish one and picked it off, rubbed it casually, and with a click, he opened his mouth and took a big bite.

Tomatoes that are not yet fully ripe are a little crunchy in the mouth, taste sour, sweet, moderately sweet and sour, and a little fragrant.Zhang Wei feels that this is [-] times more delicious than the sour and sweet tomatoes in the greenhouse, but with some green flavor.

"Crack, click!" Zhang Wei took two more bites in a row.

"Brother, Keke wants to eat too." At this moment, Zhang Wei remembered that he was only eating by himself, and the little girl Keke was still by his side.Looking at Ke Ke's drooling eyes, looking at the way the tomato's eyes shined, she knew without thinking that this girl must have eaten the tomato before it was ripe.

Seeing Keke like this, Zhang Wei, who hadn't teased this little girl for a long time, felt teased again.Picking up the tomato in his hand, Zhang Wei took another big bite and asked the little girl who was already drooling unscrupulously: "Ke Ke, do you want to eat this?"

"Yeah, yeah, Keke really wants to eat it. Brother Xiaolei picked one last time, and Keke likes to eat it very much." The little head nodded, staring at the tomato that had been bitten by some unscrupulous person.A certain unscrupulous person was even more sure that the little girl must have eaten the tomato, but Zhang Wei instructed that Keke is small and not his own. As long as you don't give it to her, she will usually not take it by herself.Ever since she picked cucumbers once and was discovered by Master Zhang and lectured her once, Zhang Wei never saw her picking cucumbers by herself, even though she was drooling just now, she still looked at Zhang Wei.

Hearing what Keke said, Zhang Wei now fully understands why Sun Xiaolei has been thinking about the few tomatoes he planted for his family to eat these two days, and also wants the exclusive distribution right .Damn, no matter how good you say, we won't sell them anymore. Now that the melons and fruits haven't come down, I want to keep these tomatoes as fruits.It's good not to sell, oh shit, I'll just plant those half-cent vegetables and let you sell them for what I eat.Zhang Wei made up his mind bitterly, I won't sell these tomatoes no matter what.

In order to eat tomatoes, the little girl gave Sun Xiaolei a dishonorable offer. Now Zhang Wei understood why his own tomatoes were not yet ripe. Sun Xiaolei had already offered the price.
