Chapter 166 The Vibrant Farm

In summer, animals and plants and animals enter the growing season.

In autumn and winter, the originally declining and withered wild grass grows green leaves again, stretching its crisp and tender veins, standing proudly.

Cai Hongming took his daughter to walk slowly on the road. On the left is the wide Divine Turtle Lake, and on the right is a hillside with thatched and elephant grass. After planting these elephant grasses here earlier, they were nourished by the Yuchan liquid, growing strong and tender, and becoming more adapted to the northwest climate. Therefore, after the farm was expanded this time, Cai Hongming specially asked people to plant elephant grass on the newly purchased ground. After growing, they could put out yaks to feed freely, saving a period of feeding time.

On the Tortoise Lake, birds danced gracefully.

Last winter, many birds flew here to rest and then flew south to spend the winter, leaving many chicks and bird eggs behind.

Cai Hongming asked someone to take these eggs to the farm's incubator for hatching. The birds hatched by these eggs and the birds with unfinished wings remained on the farm without leaving. The most of them were the wild geese. The wild geese, also known as the original goose, the strange goose, the black-billed goose, the sand goose, the grass goose or the big goose, are the ancestors of the home geese today.

Because these geese are big and have a lot of meat, they are particularly taken care of by Cai Hongming. Now they are growing fat one by one.

In terms of meat quality, the meat of the wild goose is more refined and suitable for stewing soup, stir-frying, stewing, boiling, etc., while the meat of the domestic goose is more plump and tender, suitable for roasting, frying, and frying. Both have their own advantages.

After Cai Hongming ate the goose meat once, he felt that the taste was good, so he treated the goose as a kind of poultry. As for whether it would evolve into a home goose in the future, it is unknown. However, the goose is now a "three-in-one" protected animal with good nationality, important economic value, and scientific research value. To raise it, you must apply for a certificate, otherwise you will be fined after being caught. Cai Hongming had to add some information. The person who applied for the forestry bureau looked at him with a strange look because he had already been reissued several times. He probably asked in his heart: Is your home a zoo? Is it really a raising everything?

Some of the remaining birds made nests in the grass beside the Tortoise Lake, while others lived on the mountains. Every day, some birds would feed in the lake, which became a scenic spot in Xidu.

However, when the weather is hot, the birds that flew to the south for vacation come. It seems that they have tasted the sweetness here when they are flying south, and once they arrive here, they will never fly forward again.

The more and more birds in the Divine Turtle Lake gather, sometimes a large area of ​​blackness is affected, which affects the normal living order of the farm. Therefore, Cai Hongming has begun to plan to make people move the birds in the Divine Turtle Lake to the lake formed by the collapse of the underground river. Cai Hongming gave it a name, "Qianlong Lake". Because the following was where the dragon veins were located before.

After taking a look at the edge of the Divine Turtle Lake, Cai Hongming took his daughter to continue walking forward.

As we walked, we looked to the left, and there was a large area of ​​rice planted opposite the area near the Shentula Lake.

Rice is growing well now. The leaves are green and dripping out of water. When the wind blows, the fragrance of rice leaves comes.

In the rice fields, the turtles that were not caught last year have grown bigger than the palm, crawling around the rice to find something to eat. Such turtles that are bigger than the palm are sold in the market for 50 yuan per pound during the Spring Festival. Although the economy is in a downturn this year, they can still be sold for more than 40 yuan. Cai Hongming doesn’t have that high price. As long as these turtles can be sold for about 30 yuan, he can make a lot of money.

After seeing the rice, I walked out of the city gate and saw a towering saguaro jungle.

After he bought these giant saguaro from southern Fujian, he gradually adapted to the local climate and was still full of vitality even in the severe cold this year.

So, after reading the book and buying land last year, he planted another batch of giant saguaro around the farm. Those giant saguaro were cultivated by him from the seeds of the existing giant saguaro, and their cold resistance should be stronger than the current giant saguaro. Now the farm is surrounded by giant saguaro, and the stings are intimidating. No one dares to climb in at all. This is also the original intention of Cai Hongming to plant giant saguaro.

Cactus usually blooms when the weather is hot, and in the northwest, it is the flowering period of giant saguaro from May to November.

It is now August, and a group of cactus is ripe, with red fruit hanging high on the giant saguaro.

Cai Hongming looked up and saw the hero owl happily pecking at a black-red immortal fruit.

"Hero." Cai Hong yelled.

The hero stared at him with his eyes and turned his head to look. It was Cai Hongming calling him, so he flew down. Chu Chu, who was sitting on Cai Hongming's neck, waved his little arm in dissatisfaction, not allowing it to come. Cai Hongming glanced at his naughty daughter and had to reach out and let the hero stop on his arm.

The hero is one year old. He is fat and has a little weight, but he is still within the endurance of Cai Hongming.

Cai Hongming touched its head, then touched its chin, scratched it and flattered it, and asked it to help pick a few cactus fruits.

Although the hero is just an ordinary owl, the purple gourd contains vigorous vitality and the spring water, which has mutated a little. At least ordinary owls are not as big as it is and are so smart. After being fed by Cai Hongming with spiritual spring water, some animals on the farm have obviously high intelligence, can understand human words and recognize people. The scorpion bones and big rooster flowers that were originally fed by Cai Hongming are even more evil. If you don’t know, they think they are humans?

The hero was very obedient and soon bit five or six fruits.

Cai Hongming took a bite and it was sweet and tasted very good.

Chuchu was almost drooling when she saw her father happily eating alone. She didn't give her a taste, and she started screaming. She actually said that she would eat this word, but she was anxious and forgot what she said. Seeing the anxious look of this little greedy ghost, Cai Hongming peeled a cactus fruit for her. The little guy was happy.

The child cannot eat too much of this kind of thing, so after giving her one, Cai Hongming quickly eliminated the immortal fruit in his hand and continued to walk forward.

After Chuchu finished eating, she saw that her father had no food, so she stopped making trouble and continued to sit on her father's head and watch around.

The hero owl stood on the cactus above their heads, staring at them with big eyes. The daytime has never been its home court, but only at night is its world.

Walking out of the towering giant saguaro jungle, a vast ground appeared in front of you. There were crops planted on the ground, including sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, soybeans, etc. The sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field grow very vigorously, and the sweet potato vines are everywhere. Pan Haimin is leading people to turn over the sweet potato vines there. If they are not turned over, let the sweet potato vines take root and sprout on the ground, and the nutrients from the roots will be absorbed. The sweet potatoes that grow will not be very large. Next to the sweet potato is a large piece of corn, with tall corn stalks and large ears. You can tell at a glance that this year is another bumper year.

This year, the farm land has expanded again, so Cai Hongming planted some chickpeas and soybeans.

Originally, Cai Hongming didn't want to grow soybeans because chickpeas were enough. But later he found out when he tried to make tofu with chickpeas. The tofu made with chickpeas had a scent, and the taste was like cinnamon and tasted strange. So he had to spend a lot of money to buy a batch of native soybeans, that is, non-GMO soybeans.

Now the domestic soybean market is almost occupied by foreign genetically modified soybean army, which makes Cai Hongming afraid to eat soy products, so he decided to plant it himself.

In addition to these, he also planted a piece of peanut, a species unique to southern Fujian, red-skinned peanuts.

Now the farm and home eat peanut oil produced by the farm, which is safe and healthy. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. Now the peanut oil produced by the farm has become a very popular product at Xidu Shengjing Agricultural Products Store next to the Grade Man Beef Barbecue Shop.

Every year, Cai Hongming will select the largest, best and best varieties to preserve these planted things.

With the best selection of the best among generations, the varieties planted must be very good, and will never be worse than the seeds that are full of messy genes outside.

To this end, Cai Hongming also specially hired someone to build a seed bank that was specially used to store seeds from excellent varieties of seeds in his own farm.

In this way, he can feel more at ease, so as not to accidentally get involved with genetically modified seeds when buying seeds in the future.

Opposite the crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, are yaks, ostrichs, yellow sheep, sheep and other livestock in the fence.

Because crops such as sweet potatoes grow too pleasantly, the animals on the opposite side drool. Sometimes some little guys can't help but temptation, and they will try every means to sneak out of the fence and sneak into the opposite ground to steal food. For this reason, Ji Dong and the others had to wrap a layer of barbed wire around the crops to prevent the crops from being ruined by those little guys.

Although those little guys can no longer run through, they still look at the farm produce opposite, which is quite a bit like quenching thirst.
