Chapter 233 Strawberry Branches
Walking around the heart pool, Li Chengxin picked out several common weeds and explained them, then pointed to the heart pool and said, "Ah! There is a water squirrel here!"

Mu Mu leaned over to take a look, and easily found the waterhopper pointed by Li Chengxin. The waterhopper was half floating on the water, and it remained motionless even though it was surrounded by two people and cameras, so he quickly made a judgment: "This one is Probably dead."

Li Chengxin sighed, stretched out his hand to fish out the motionless jellyfish, and after looking at the situation in the water, he knew the cause of the squid's death: "The algae in the heart pool are really too much, this jellyfish probably It was entangled in algae, unable to float up and suffocated to death. In addition, because the water is too shallow, when I fished for the oyster just now, I found that the water in the pool felt warm to the touch.”

Mu Mu nodded, and reached out to test the water temperature: "We have been working hard to clean up the algae, but some of them can't keep up with the growth speed of the algae. That's why we planted that mulberry tree. In this way, there will be some water in the heart pool. A little shady area."

The algae in the heart pool are called Spirogyra, commonly known as water moss, which mostly grow in still water and fresh water, and belong to the aquatic algae of the genus Spirogyra.Spirogyra has a filamentous body and sticky tentacles. When it grows in large numbers, it will entangle aquatic organisms and cause them to die.The substances produced by the decay of dead aquatic organisms and floating on the water surface will be the main cause of the foul smell in the water body.

Seeing this, Li Chengxin also picked up the net bag and started to clean up the algae with Mu Mu.

Seeing Mumu pouring the picked algae directly into the trash can, Li Chengxin stopped his action: "There may still be living organisms in the fished algae, so it's best to put them in the trash before throwing them into the trash can." Check it over."

As he said that, Li Chengxin poured the algae he had caught into a shallow plastic basin, turned it over, and actually found a still-living jellyfish in it.

Li Chengxin teased the water squirrel and said, "This is the larva of the white-tailed grayfly."

The adult white-tailed grayfly is off-white overall, with blue eyes and black tail segments. It is a very common and beautiful dragonfly.

Mumu wiped the water and algae from her hands, found an illustrated book of aquatic life in the corner of the top floor, and found the white-tailed grayfly in it, and then made the white-tailed grayfly larva on the picture with the water slug found by Li Chengxin. Made a comparison.

After the comparison, Mu Mu looked at Li Chengxin with admiration: "Senior, you are too good! You can recognize it like this!"

Li Chengxin smiled "hehe". With the system in place, he is really not afraid of recognizing things.He patted Mu Mu on the shoulder: "Come on, you can do it too!"

Li Chengxin first put the water squirrel in a small transparent aquarium beside him, threw the algae that had been spread in the shallow basin into the trash can, and then continued to fish for the algae.

Mu Mu poured a net bag of algae in her hand into a shallow basin, and began to rummage through the algae like Li Chengxin did.

"Wow! I also have water turtles here!" Mu Mu exclaimed.

Li Chengxin went over to take a look, and found that the water slug found in Mumu's algae was also alive, and it seemed to be only two or three times larger than the one Li Chengxin found before.

"This is the larva of the black-tailed moth." With the help of the system, Li Chengxin quickly reported the adult name of the water moth.

The black-banded dragonfly is a variety commonly known as the "green dragonfly". It is very large. It has black and green patterns on its back and blue spots on its abdomen. It is particularly beautiful if you look closely.The black-banded dragonfly is a master at hiding itself. When it flies in the air, the blue color on its belly is the protective color when viewed from the bottom up. When viewed from the top, the blue-colored back of the black-banded dragonfly is in line with the color of the earth. The green blend makes it relatively difficult to be spotted by natural enemies.However, most of the black-banded larvae, which need to live in water for at least three years, cannot safely become adults.

When the algae were almost gone, Li Chengxin and Mu Mu found many different types of leeches, and finally found that only the one from the beginning died.Looking at it this way, it seems that the impact of algae on kelp is not as great as they thought.

Li Chengxin poured the water larvae from the aquarium into the heart pool, and said, "See you later when you grow up and fly high!"

After taking care of the heart pool, Li Chengxin walked up the simple stairs built on one side. The stairs were originally built for the maintenance of the windmill, but now they have a new meaning: "Let's go up and see the strawberries!"

The strawberries that Qi Lanting had planted next to the windmill before had grown a second batch of fruit, which seemed to be much more than the first crop, except for the bright red fruit hidden under the lush strawberry leaves, there were also seedlings hanging down.

Professor Pan said before that the daughter plants can be separated and planted separately, and now is a good time.

Li Chengxin turned over the leaves of the strawberry, revealing the fruit underneath, then turned to Mu Mu and asked, "This little strawberry is overripe, why don't you eat it!"

Mu Mu scratched the back of her head: "Senior Lan Ting told us to keep it for him."

Li Chengxin knew Qi Lanting's itinerary, and after hearing the reason, he waved his hand: "He doesn't have time to come over soon, when he comes, these strawberries will rot in the ground."

In addition to the strawberries that were overripe and soft, there were also strawberries that were half-bitten or had signs of being eaten by insects.The sweet fragrance of strawberries floats in this area. As mentioned before, this is a fruit that is more attractive than mulberries.

Li Chengxin found a strawberry that looked beautiful and at the right time, washed it casually with mineral water, and said to the camera: "Lanting, I'm sorry, this strawberry won't be able to wait for you."

As he spoke, he put the strawberry into his mouth, and said after eating it: "It's so sweet! It's also very fragrant and juicy. It's the best strawberry!"

After sharing a few good-looking strawberries with Mu Mu, Li Chengxin began to divide the work.Let Mumu pick off the rest of the overripe but not rotten fruits, while he collected the strawberry plants hanging aside.

Taking the strawberries and strawberry plants to the heart pool, Li Chengxin began to use soil to fix the strawberry plants in the crevices between the heart pool and the newly built Asawa.

Seeing this, Mu Mu asked, "Why do you plant strawberry plants in the crevices of rocks? Can't it be done on ordinary ground?"

Li Chengxin explained: "Ordinary ground is also fine, but stones can store the sun's heat, so that it can keep the strawberry plants warm at night."

When there were no greenhouses, farmers in Hongming Village, Li Chengxin’s hometown, used to grow strawberries on stone walls. Due to the insulation effect of stones, strawberries can be grown even in winter, and the harvest seems to be pretty good.In addition, all strawberries can enjoy equal sunlight by taking advantage of the slope of the stone wall.

During the questioning and answering like this, Li Chengxin tried his best to give Mu Mu his knowledge about the top floor field. After the four-person team in Yuan Zhao's hands got busy, they will gradually hand over to the two newcomers. Entertainer here.

　Strawberry division should actually be done around November at the end of the year. When the weather is cold, the energy consumed by transplanting will be lower. If transplanted in June, water consumption will be very large, and the root system of the newly transplanted strawberry may not be able to supply it.But this is a novel after all... In addition, thank you to book friend Chichi Chichi for your monthly pass!
