The people Chen Wenchuan recruited were indeed experts in farming, and the work of planting seeds was easy for them. With the efforts of six people, a full 20 mu of land has been sown in two days.
Among them, in addition to the green leafy vegetables, which are sown, varieties such as cauliflower, cucumber, tomato, and green beans are all on-demand, and the workload is relatively greater. Therefore, the high efficiency of the workers is enough to satisfy Li Yuan.
Of course, the reason why everyone has such a high efficiency is not only Chen Wenchuan's constant supervision, but also the high salary offered by Li Yuan. The people Chen Wenchuan found were all honest people, and they all felt that since they got such a high salary, they should work harder. The combination of these two reasons has created such an amazing seeding speed.
In fact, if Li Yuan hadn't sown 20 mu of land first, everyone would have been able to sow more than 50 mu of vegetable greenhouses with seeds within a week. So everyone was also surprised that Li Yuan had so many lands, but he only used such a few.
In fact, Li Yuan is also suffering and can't tell. I was thinking about the problem of funds before, but I ignored the speed at which peach pits can produce gold beads. According to the current situation, the peach pit can only produce three gold beads every seven days. Even if Li Yuan has consciously reduced the amount of gold beads in the vegetable garden, he has only kept six gold beads in so many days.
Although Jinzhu is miraculous, its effectiveness is always limited. It is obviously unrealistic to plant more than 50 acres of land with such a few gold beads. Li Yuan could only reduce the planting area first, and then slowly plant vegetables on the rest of the land after the peach pits regenerated into golden beads.
After the 20 mu of land had been sown, Li Yuan began to irrigate for the first time. When building the drip irrigation system, he asked the engineering team to install water pipes for each vegetable greenhouse separately, so that as long as different valves are opened, any vegetable greenhouse can be individually watered as required.
Taking advantage of the time when everyone else was off work, Li Yuan went to the reservoir at the foot of the mountain alone, and turned on the pump to fill the pond with water. Although the reservoir also has tap water as a water source, it is more economical to pump water directly from the Ningxia River in the early autumn when there is plenty of water.
With the non-stop operation of the water pump, most of the water in the reservoir soon filled up. According to Chen Wenchuan's previous estimation, this full pool of water can irrigate about 40 mu of land, so most of the pool is enough for 20 mu of land.
"I hope it's not too exaggerated." Looking at the clear water in the reservoir, Li Yuan couldn't help muttering to himself.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan poured out the six gold beads that had been preserved for many days from the peach pit, and threw them into the reservoir in one go.
When Li Yuan melted the gold beads in the glass before, he could still see a faint golden streak in the glass at first. But in such a large reservoir, the six gold beads are nothing but a drop in the ocean, and Li Yuan didn't notice any abnormalities at all. The gold beads that melted in water disappeared in the pool in a blink of an eye.
Li Yuan waited for a while to give the melted gold beads time to diffuse into the entire reservoir. Then he went to the nearby control room to operate the valves and water the fields that had been sown.
"Shed No. 1, Shed No. 2, No. 3..." Li Yuan silently read the number of the vegetable sheds that had finished sowing, and opened the corresponding valves at the same time.
The Ningxia River, which had melted the gold beads, immediately flowed to the vegetable greenhouses through the intricate piping system. It didn't take long for the soil where the seeds had been sown in the vegetable greenhouse to gradually become moist, as if it had rained moderately.
This is also the first time that Li Yuan has used the drip irrigation system to irrigate the fields with water that has melted gold beads, so he dare not be too careless. He waited by the cistern until the cistern was empty, and then ran down to check the situation in the shed.
Li Yuan carefully looked around the 20 acres of land that had just been watered, and was very satisfied with the effect of the drip irrigation system. All the ground has been watered thoroughly, showing that the drip irrigation system is working well and fully meets Li Yuan's requirements.
Such a result made Li Yuan very pleased, and felt that the money was really worth it. After all, relying on manpower to irrigate the water that melted the gold beads is really laborious and inefficient. However, Li Yuan currently has more than 90 mu of land, and it is completely unrealistic to only rely on manpower to irrigate.
Now that there is a drip irrigation system that can accurately water the land, and a greenhouse that can grow vegetables in winter, Li Yuan is also full of confidence in the future. I believe that with these facilities and the magical golden beads, I can fully demonstrate my skills in this industry and become the top vegetable supplier of high-end hotels and restaurants.
In the next two days, Li Yuan rushed to the vegetable base early in the morning to check the germination of the seeds. Everyone, including Chen Wenchuan, felt a little funny about his anxious behavior.
Even if it is still warm in early autumn, the seeds will not germinate so quickly, at least it will take about a week. What's more, Li Yuan asked to scatter the seeds directly in the field, which would further delay the germination time. According to Chen Wenchuan's speculation, green leafy vegetables will take about ten days to germinate. As for seeds such as cucumbers and tomatoes, it will take longer.
However, just when everyone felt that Li Yuan was too eager, the facts surprised them. On the third day after watering the land for the first time, in the big field where the green leafy vegetable seeds were sown, dots of green shoots appeared!
This surprised Chen Wenchuan and his group of veteran vegetable farmers. No one expected that these seemingly ordinary vegetable seeds would germinate so quickly. So much so that these old farmers who have been planting for decades, all gathered at the edge of the field to observe these newly grown seedlings like looking at a diorama, all of them were amazed.
Chen Wenchuan even lay down on the edge of the field to observe these seedlings carefully, and praised them repeatedly: "Tsk tsk, have you found out that these seedlings were unearthed in the morning, and they grew so tall in the afternoon. And the roots are green and tender. Spirit is worthy of being a new foreign breed cultivated by high technology!"
Others also nodded in agreement with Chen Wenchuan's statement, saying that they had never seen vegetables that germinated so quickly. Moreover, these seedlings are also very strong, and it is foreseeable that they will grow very well in the future. This really makes everyone very optimistic about Li Yuan's "imported vegetable varieties", and they have more confidence in the future of the vegetable base.
Just a few days after the leafy greens emerge, vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes also begin to sprout. So Chen Wenchuan and others were once again surprised by such a fast germination speed, and all praised the power of high technology, which opened the eyes of old farmers like themselves who have served the land for more than half their lives.
In fact, Chen Wenchuan and the others didn't know it. Although Li Yuan was calm on the surface, he actually breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly screamed "It's dangerous" in his heart.
