Pastoral Daily Life

Gao Yongliang's mood during this period can be described as intermittently sad and joyful, like a roller coaster.

First, Sequoia Investment suddenly withdrew its investment in him like a bolt from the blue.Before he could digest the news, Dezhi Investment, who had rejected him before, approached him and expressed his willingness to reconsider the project, but Dezhi Investment must have an absolute controlling stake in Gao Yongliang Company.Gao Yongliang specially flew abroad for this purpose, and the two sides saw each other for a few days about the equity distribution. Gao Yongliang finally let go. He occupied 49% of the company's shares, and Dezhi Investment held 51%.

After solving the funding problem, Gao Yongliang put all his energy on Lu Lingxi after returning to China, and spent almost every day on micro-horticulture.After a while, Yan Yue agreed to cooperate with him when he couldn't bear it anymore.Instead of cooperating with Xue Yongtong, but directly cooperating with Gao Yongliang, Micro Gardening will become Gao Yongliang's supplier together with Luxuan Gardening.And Yan Yue made it clear during the cooperation that the number of "mutated" begonias is relatively small, and micro-horticulture can only provide the quantity for Gao Yongliang's experiment in the early stage, and it will have to wait until next year for large-scale production.Gao Yongliang knew this was the truth, and reluctantly agreed.

During the whole cooperation process, Gao Yongliang and Weiyuan were very happy, but Xue Yongtong was a little indescribably depressed. In the end, he still didn't know what happened to Qiu Haitang.He originally thought that Micro Gardening's flower beds were not large enough, and that he could only cooperate with Lvxuan if he wanted to cultivate begonias on a large scale, but he didn't expect that Qiu Jun would have an accident and sold Qiu Tian Gardening at lightning speed. The person who bought it happened to be Yan Yue.Now there is a micro-horticultural flower garden, and there is nothing to do with him.What made Xue Yongtong even more breathless was that he had just owed Yan Yue a big favor, and he couldn't show his depression, so he could only smile kindly at Lu Lingxi, and turned around to continue mad at the begonia.

Xue Yongtong was secretly depressed, and Lu Lingxi didn't know about it. He put all his energy on the breeding of evolutionary begonias.

Under normal circumstances, the propagation of begonias is mainly by sowing, cuttings and tissue culture.However, since begonias are the descendants of hybrids, seed reproduction has great variation and inheritance instability, so seeds are rarely used for sowing, and most of them are propagated by cuttings and tissue culture.Cuttings are what Lu Lingxi is most familiar with. Select twigs about 3 cm long, remove the basal leaves, and insert them into the sand bed after drying. It takes about [-] weeks to take root and grow into a brand new plant.In addition to cuttings, there is also a rapid propagation method for tissue culture propagation.This method of reproduction is to use tissue culture to reproduce a large number of flower seedlings in test tubes. Specifically, a small piece of tissue on the flower plant, such as leaves or stem nodes or flower buds, is cultivated in a culture bottle, and it is continuously cut and propagated. , thousands of new plants can be bred in a relatively short period of time.

Compared with cuttings, Lu Lingxi is not very proficient in the latter.Although there are corresponding cultivation rooms in the flower garden of Qiutian Gardening, Lu Lingxi still chose cuttings in the early stage, and slowly propagated the number of begonias.Of course, he also gradually began to learn how to use the cultivation room to prepare for future large-scale reproduction.

This process is also a running-in process between Lu Lingxi and the former Qiutian flower garden workers.The scale of Qiu Tian's flower garden is too large, unlike the flower garden of Micro Gardening, which can only be taken care of by Uncle Li and Yu Xiaojuan, workers must be hired from outside.It is better to use the familiar than the familiar. Yan Yue did not make any major adjustments to the original workers, but fired some of them that he thought were inappropriate, and the rest were considered to be skilled and honest.

Among them, Lu Lingxi was most impressed by Lu Guoxing.Lu Guoxing was in his 40s, with a Chinese-character face, slightly dark skin, and a tall stature. When he spoke, his voice shook Lu Lingxi's ears.He was just an ordinary worker in the flower garden, but he was also the only one who saw that the begonias cultivated by Lu Lingxi were different from ordinary begonias.After Yan Yue investigated Lu Guoxing's background, he simply raised him up.When Lu Lingxi was around, he was Lu Lingxi's assistant, and when Lu Lingxi was not around, he was the person in charge of the flower garden.

By the time this series of things is on the right track, it will be early October.Xiao Feng didn't know where he heard that Wang Shuxiu was worried about the supply of vegetables in winter. After inspecting the vegetable market in Fengcheng with Huzi and others, he decided to change the flower garden of Qiutian Horticulture into a vegetable garden. grow vegetables.Xiao Feng's name was there, and he had just started to make preparations. Several small restaurants near the original chess and card room immediately approached him, wanting to cooperate with Xiao Feng.To put it bluntly, he also thought that Xiao Feng could protect them.

Hearing about Xiao Feng's plan, Lu Lingxi thought of the tomato seeds she collected and the grape seeds that the system rewarded last time.The general grape planting is to grow seedlings by cuttings, or directly buy grape seedlings.Lu Lingxi explained in the book that the grapes produced by planting delicious grape seeds may not be delicious, and the seedlings grown from the seeds bear fruit very late, about 4 or 5 years.But the seeds in his hand were not ordinary seeds, they were rewarded by the system.Considering the effect of tomato planting, Lu Lingxi is still very relieved about grape seeds.He didn't know how Brother Feng's first vegetable planting would be, but good seeds should help a little. The tomatoes he planted last time would definitely be popular, and the grapes would definitely not be bad either.

Besides, it will be winter soon, and the tomatoes in the yard are about to fail.He wants to eat tomatoes, and he is also very curious about the grape seeds rewarded by the system. It would be great if Brother Feng would try it in the greenhouse.With these thoughts in mind, Lu Lingxi divided some of the seeds, including tomatoes and grapes, and gave them to Wang Shuxiu, asking her to advise Xiao Feng to plant some of them appropriately.

Wang Shuxiu looked at the seeds on the table, "What does this mean?"

Lu Lingxi said obediently: "This is the seed of our tomato. It must grow better than the seeds sold in the market and taste better. There are also grape seeds I found. The grapes grown must be delicious." If it is not for Wang Shuxiu For the sake of it, he will not take out these seeds.

Wang Shuxiu was a little funny, the little bastard's mind could be seen at a glance, she slapped Lu Lingxi with her eyebrows upside down, "You worry a lot."

Since Xiao Feng closed the chess and card room, the relationship between Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng has obviously become closer.But the two didn't make it clear, they still got along tepidly.Wang Shuxiu thought this was good, Xiao Feng didn't seem to be in a hurry, on the contrary, Lu Lingxi struggled several times in private, whether he should continue to call Xiao Feng "Brother Feng" or Uncle Xiao.

Lu Lingxi rubbed her head and looked at Wang Shuxiu with some embarrassment, Wang Shuxiu laughed and put away the seeds, "Okay, I'll take it to Brother Feng to see, it's his business whether to plant it or not."

"Oh."

Lu Lingxi didn't say anything, but he felt that as long as Xiao Feng was not stupid, he would definitely plant them. He had eaten tomatoes in the backyard and knew what they tasted like.

In fact, Xiao Feng is also considering the tomatoes from Lu Lingxi's family.I wanted to find time to ask Wang Shuxiu where to buy the tomato seeds, and they also went to buy some.

Sitting at the bottom of Xiao Feng, Hu Zi pretended to be holding a book on vegetable cultivation, pointing out: "We also need to grow some cabbage, beans, garlic sprouts... and wax gourd by the way. In order to maintain the original taste of these crops , it is best not to use pesticides, and try not to use some chemical fertilizers to accelerate ripening."

He said it in a serious manner, Er Fei hugged his stomach and laughed like hell, and joked: "Huzi, do you still know how to read?"

Huzi kicked him dissatisfied, "Get lost, I also graduated from high school."

The two were arguing, Xiao Feng was a little impatient, lit a cigarette, and asked, "How is the recruited?" Planting flowers is different from farming, and the original workers in the greenhouse can no longer be used.Xiao Feng picked and picked a few and kept a few, Yan Yue came over and picked a few, and fired the rest.Such a few people are definitely not enough, and the brothers under him don't seem to be able to farm the land, so they have to recruit outsiders.

When it comes to serious business, Hu Zi is not vague at all. "I've found them. They are all from the nearby villages. Dapeng has inquired about them privately. They are all good at farming and have honest personalities. There is nothing wrong with them."

Er Fei chuckled, "We're still afraid that someone will cause trouble."

Huzi glared at him, "We've become good people now, you know? Don't fight if you don't have to fight, and convince others with virtue."

A group of people: "..."

Even Xiao Feng couldn't help laughing. "It's past ten o'clock, go to sleep."

After sending the tigers away, Xiao Feng planned to buy a few more cars, rent a few stalls outside, keep a few of his men in the vegetable garden to watch, separate out a few for transportation, and leave the rest They were all sent to the booth, and they were left to toss.

After a solid sleep, Xiao Feng received a call from Wang Shuxiu early the next morning, asking him to go to the small restaurant when he had time to find him.Xiao Feng didn't delay, and went to the small restaurant after breakfast.Wang Shuxiu took out the seeds that Lu Lingxi gave yesterday.Hearing that they were tomato seeds grown in the backyard, Lu Lingxi specially prepared them for him, Xiao Feng was very happy.

Wang Shuxiu also explained that the original seeds of the tomatoes planted in the backyard were given to Lu Lingxi by others, and Lu Lingxi didn't know where to buy them outside.Xiao Feng waved his hand, Lu Lingxi thought it was intentional to give him these seeds, but what happened to this bag of grape seeds?

Following his gaze, Wang Shuxiu laughed, "The little bastard probably wants to eat grapes. No one has planted these seeds before, so just leave them alone, Brother Feng, leave it alone."

Xiao Feng shook the seeds in his hand and didn't speak.He didn't grow grapes before and didn't know what to do, but at least it was sent by Lu Lingxi, so he found a corner to plant a little, and it wouldn't take up much space.It can be sold well in front of the "son" after planting it, and this deal is also a good deal.

Lu Lingxi didn't know that Xiao Feng planned to grow grapes, but he planted them with the mentality of pleasing him. Now he is closing the shop and preparing to go to Lingshui Village with Yan Yue.Before leaving the city, Yan Yue drove him around Fengcheng, deliberately looking for the places they had purified before.

The two first arrived at the south of the city.Lu Lingxi also came here to see some time after the purification started, and the changes were not so obvious.But after a month, the changes are already obvious.Compared with the surroundings, the plants on the purified land are extremely lush, and the unknown wild flowers and weeds are crowded together, looking very vibrant.There were several stray cats haunting the grass, and the largest one was lying lazily on the tree, basking in the sun with its belly up.Hearing the sound of people coming, the cat glanced at them contemptuously, its golden pupils widened instantly after seeing Lu Lingxi, sniffed its nose, turned over and squatted there, and meowed affectionately towards Lu Lingxi stand up.

Lu Lingxi smiled, and the mental scan was released and fixed on the willow tree where the cat was squatting.The tree in front of me is in the center of purifying the soil, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The afternoon sun hits the tree, as if emerald color is flowing on the leaves.Unknowingly, this willow tree has met the requirements of evolution.

The white panel emerged, and the shape of a willow tree appeared on it.The status at the bottom shows that the willow tree is at the primary peak at this time, do you want to evolve immediately?

Lu Lingxi chose yes, the evolution of the willow tree in the primary state to the first-level state does not cause much movement, and it will not feel like an earthquake like the evolution of the big willow tree at the beginning.As Lu Lingxi confirmed, the roots of the willow tree began to grow slowly, except for a part that went underground, the rest seemed to be extending towards a fixed place.Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, the status display on the panel was correct, part of the roots of the willow tree were really extending towards the north, but the speed was extremely slow.

Before he could figure it out, the cat on the tree obviously sensed something, quickly jumped down from the tree, yelled at Lu Lingxi again, got into the grass and disappeared.Lu Lingxi felt that the intuition of animals is much sharper than that of humans.Taking his attention away from the cat, he told Yan Yue about the changes in the willow tree, with a hint of puzzlement, "North? What's there in the north?"

Yan Yue couldn't see the white panel, and listened to Lu Lingxi's description thoughtfully. The direction of the big willow tree in Lingshui Village is in the north, and the nearest purified soil is also in the north. Of course, the place where Xiaoxi lives is also in the north. north.He felt that the choice of willow is nothing more than these three, but no matter where it is, it seems to explain the magic of willow evolution, or the magic of the panel.He rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair comfortingly, "Let's go to another purification site to have a look, the one closest to here is not far to the north."

Lu Lingxi also thought of this, and nodded obediently.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at another decontamination place.The purified land in the south of the city seems to be spreading very quickly to the surrounding area because the surrounding development is relatively backward, the flow of people is less, and the corresponding pollution is less.Although the area in front of him has also spread towards the surrounding area, its range is more than a little smaller than that in the south of the city.But compared to the disorder in the south of the city, it seems that someone has taken care of it. The weeds on the ground have been cleared away, leaving only unknown wild flowers of various colors.Under the willow tree on one side, several old people are playing chess around, and there are children running around, looking very lively.

Yan Yue parked the car across the road, and the two of them didn't get out of the car.Lu Lingxi's mental scan has a range of 30 meters, which is enough to see the state of the willow tree.

The white panel emerged, and this willow tree also met the needs of evolution.Lu Lingxi chose yes without hesitation, and the panel soon showed that the changes in the roots of the willow tree were exactly the same as those in the south of the city.Part of it plunged into the ground, and the other part slowly extended toward the north.Now without Yan Yue's words, Lu Lingxi also guessed that the target of the two willow trees should be the big willow tree in Lingshui Village.He was a little worried that there would be too much movement in the future, but then he thought about it, according to the extension speed of these roots, it would take a few years to reach the big willow tree.Calculating the time, there is no need for him to worry for the time being.

Yan Yue listened to Lu Lingxi's analysis and nodded while driving.A few years is enough time for Fengcheng to change drastically.When the community is integrated into Fengcheng, no one will guess where the source will be.

The two circled around Fengcheng, and the five purified soils were well expanded, but not all the willows planted on them met the requirements for evolution, only three of them met the requirements for evolution.The other two plants looked like they were flourishing, but they always felt like something was missing.Lu Lingxi thought for a while, and suddenly Fu Ling thought, "Vitality, what they lack is vitality." Just like those green plants planted in the flower garden, some have evolved, some have not, and the ones that have not evolved are not taken care of by him Not good, but lack of vitality for evolution.

"vitality?"

Lu Lingxi explained excitedly, "Although I can't see it, I can feel it. I thought it wrong before. The vitality of a plant is not an ethereal substance, but a kind of energy. Every stage of plant growth requires energy. It's different. Just like this willow tree, if it doesn't meet the requirements for evolution, it means that it doesn't have enough vitality, that is, it doesn't have enough accumulated energy. When it stores enough energy, it should be able to evolve."

Yan Yue nodded thoughtfully, further thinking about the heart of plants and the power of nature.If they were connected in this way, he felt that the vitality in Lu Lingxi's mouth was a bit like the heart of plants.

On the way out of the city, Lu Lingxi was quite excited because she figured out the reason why plants could not evolve.Most of his recent activities have been in the flower garden over at Qiutian Gardening, and he hasn't been to Lingshui Village for a few days.The greenhouse in Lingshui Village has been built long ago, and Yan Yue even asked someone to dig a pond in the middle of the flower garden.This time when the two went to the flower garden, they wanted to fill the pond with water and try to grow some aquatic crops while it was still cold.

When Lu Lingxi talked about the pond, he thought of the first-level peak Wang Lian plant in Xue Yongtong's place.He was a little itchy, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Yan, you said that we went to Uncle Xue and said that we want to introduce that Wang Lian, will Uncle Xue agree?"

Yan Yue pampered Lu Lingxi's hair, Xue Yongtong's thoughts didn't matter, if Lu Lingxi liked it, he would find a way to get Xue Yongtong to agree.
