Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord.

"So that's how it is. I understand. Then what is your Majesty's fourth step?" Shirley asked earnestly.

"The fourth step will be more complicated--point, you have to listen carefully, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Liu Feng said.

"Yes." Shirley nodded.

"Third watch, Fv). Please customize, please support.".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Liu Feng took a sip of the water at the table, cleared his throat and began to think about the fourth step.

He thought about it seriously, and said, "The fourth stage is growth. After the pumpkin reaches a certain stage, the plant enters the flowering stage, and the male flowers are the main ones at the beginning."

"Taking male flowers as... Shirley took notes carefully.

"You can pick off the male flowers and their peduncles in the morning when the flowers are about to bloom. They can be used for food. When the female flowers start to grow, you can start to apply organic fertilizer." Liu Feng said seriously.

Shirley was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes non-stop, and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, are flowers edible?"

"Of course, you can use it to eat scrambled eggs or fried meat, it tastes very good." Liu Feng smiled.

On the other side of the earth, there are many delicacies made with flowers, not only stir-fried vegetables, but also desserts, such as flower cakes, flower crisps, etc. are all made of flowers.

The taste is still very good, and the nutritional value is still very high, eating more can also be useful to the body.

For example, loss of appetite, indigestion, etc., even eating some flowers can remove the peculiar smell in the mouth.

"So that's how it is." Shirley was a little shocked, her face full of disbelief.

She didn't expect that the flowers that she had planted for so long could be used for food. She couldn't help thinking in her heart that she must get some to try the taste.

Not only the horse-eared girls, but also the cat-eared girls and the fox-eared girls were also shocked, and it was the first time they heard that flowers could be eaten.

"Okay, there are still some things you should pay attention to. When the female flowers bloom, you should reduce or stop harvesting the young stem tips. If necessary, artificial pollination must be carried out before eight o'clock in the morning.

Liu Feng waited until Ma Erniang finished recording, and continued, "Usually 3-5 melons per plant are enough for normal growth, 1-2 large melon varieties can be reserved, and those miniature melon varieties can be appropriately increased, depending on the growth of the plants. ."

"I see, I have planted the two varieties separately." Shirley nodded heavily.

"Well, those too many young melons or female flowers should be thinned, and the stems should be properly topped to avoid insufficient nutrient supply."

Picking up the teacup, Liu Feng continued, "Larger melons can be hung in a net bag and hung in a firm place, and melons that are close to the ground can be isolated from the soil with wooden boards to prevent being-

Some worms have been eaten away. "

Because many insects feed on melons and fruits, if the pumpkins in production are placed on the soil.

Those insects are not polite, they will eat the side of the pumpkin close to the soil beyond recognition.

"I see, I remember everything." Shirley just stopped writing in her hand.After listening to His Majesty's explanation, the planting of pumpkins is not difficult.

But it is definitely not an easy task, because there are still many things to pay attention to.

"Okay, with all of that in mind, then I'm going to talk about the fifth and last step-

step. "Liu Feng said seriously.

"Yes." Shirley didn't dare to be vague, and immediately picked up a notepad and a pen to record the last step.

"Pumpkins will use the adventitious roots from the vine nodes at the later stage of growth. At this time, the method of burying the stems must be adopted."

After taking a sip of water, Liu Feng continued, "If you do this, you can increase the production by about [-]% to [-]%."

Others may not understand the increase rate of this output, but Shirley simply doesn't want to be too clear.

She covered her mouth in surprise and said, "This last step can actually increase the yield of pumpkins!"

"Of course, the time to bury the stems is after two to three batches of fruiting. At that time, you have to wait until some sallow leaves appear on the roots."

Liu Feng put down the teacup and continued, "Generally, the 4-6 nodes closest to the root are buried, and the [-]-[-] nodes closest to the root are usually buried. The best soil for burying the stems is fertile soil with a small amount of organic fertilizer and moist."

Shirley carefully took notes, raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, how deep should I bury it is more appropriate."

"It's about 15-25 centimeters. It can't be buried too deep or too shallow. These will affect the yield of pumpkins." Liu Feng explained. "I see. I didn't expect to learn so much about growing pumpkins." Shirley can be said to have benefited a lot today.

"It's your first time planting pumpkins. If you still don't understand anything, come and ask me first. Don't be afraid." Liu Feng said seriously.

Because a lot of new crops have been added this year, the planting of most of them is troublesome and fragile, so we still have to pay attention to the planting, otherwise it will be bad if all the previous efforts are wasted in the end.

.One asks for flowers...

"Yes, Your Majesty, if there is anything I don't understand, I will definitely ask you." Shirley nodded heavily.

"The next thing you want to ask about is how to grow peas and winter melon. I will give you a book, which is also written in detail. You can take it back and read it first. If you don't understand it, then ask me." Liu Feng said.

"Really? Does Your Majesty still have books on this subject?" Shirley asked in surprise.

"Of course, I will give you a copy of all the books about the crops you planted." Liu Feng said grandly.

It took him a long time to translate those books into the text here.

Although it is said that the Han Dynasty has begun to implement Chinese characters, everyone is just beginning to learn.

There is no way to become a big fat man with one bite, so it is often necessary to memorize books with characters of this era.

Because many people in this era have not yet started to learn Chinese characters, but they are all talented people. If you want to teach them 1-on-1, it would be a waste of time.

If there are books written in this era for them to read at this time, Liu Feng can save a lot of time.
