Chapter 536 536. Preliminary planning
As for why there are no mosquitoes in Taolin...
"There are also a lot of things planted on the edge of the peach grove. They are just like weeds. You don't need to care about them at all. Just don't cut them down."
Mugwort repels mosquitoes, but the smoke must be dried and burned. However, mosquitoes are really a creature that Song Tan can't tolerate, so she feeds the wormwood on the mountain a lot of spiritual energy.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, I had a lot of sunbathing at home, and now I light a handful every night. Even if it’s just a handful, it’s very overbearing!
Those who have been stimulated by spiritual energy on the mountain can smell the unique fragrance from a long distance. Even if it is fresh, the mosquito repellent effect is outstanding, which really subverts science.
But it is estimated that there are no mosquitoes in the Taolin area, and it is hard to say in other places. After all, in order to make money before the Dragon Boat Festival, young people from other villages went up to the mountains to cut down all the wormwood and sell it in the city for one yuan a handful... Now it is just next to the peach grove, and some of it was specially kept at the beginning.
Song Tan thought of this and immediately made a plan to plant mugwort in his mind. Anyway, this thing is absolutely indispensable at home.
She said it so confidently, as if it was true.
Tang Xiaodong: ...Really?
He thought about it over and over again, but he always felt that something was wrong.
…
There are no mosquitoes, and everyone is very relaxed even if they just stroll in the yard at night.
The night wind is still hot, making people sticky with sweat. But as the day passed, the village was extremely quiet. Except for the chirping of insects and the occasional barking of dogs, there was no noise at all.
This inexplicable feeling of comfort, even if you don’t do anything and empty your mind, you will feel very happy.
Professor Song walked around slowly with his hands behind his back. Looking at his demeanor, he was really a scholar who had read poetry and books.
No one knows how full he is right now, and even if he doesn’t lift his chin, he feels a little unable to hold it in. If you don’t want to exercise anymore, you can only try your best to move more brain cells and burn calories as quickly as possible.
“No wonder people come here to me. It’s just a compliment, saying that you are really capable...I know now.”
“If everything in your home is of this quality, then you won’t have to worry about anything. Even if you sow some dogtail grass, what will grow will definitely be extraordinarily beautiful.”
Not to mention, there is actually a kind of rabbit tail similar to dogtail grass, which is very popular as a garden bonsai.
Song Tan shook his head: "When I grow things here, I pay attention to practicality. First of all, it must be edible, secondly, it must be edible, and finally, it must be sold for money. No matter how beautiful the foxtail grass grows, in addition to creating an Internet celebrity base, it also It can’t enter my mouth.”
Speaking of internet celebrity bases, Professor Song is in high spirits:
"Nowadays, many villages are developing tourism. They use the fields to create a sea of flowers. Simple rapeseed flowers, more popular pink grass, or other things... You have a lot of mountainous areas. Even if you only do some on the periphery, it should be enough. Brings excellent economic benefits.”
"No, no, no!" Song Tan waved her hands repeatedly: "If it can be practical and beautiful at the same time, of course I like it too. But if it's just for the sake of good looks and attracting people, there's no need for it. I don't like to receive these people."
Influencer base, how hard it is to maintain it!
Moreover, people like to mess around nowadays, especially in the tourism industry, and the probability of encountering the best is very high. Later, when someone broke his arm and scratched his skin, he still came to ask for compensation...
Song Tan felt irritable just thinking about it, so he decided to forget it.
The group of people walked back and forth in the yard like zombies. Qi Lin thought for a while: "Actually, Qibao Mountain is very discerning. This terrain is quite unique and can meet all kinds of needs you can think of."
“Whether we can sell it for money or not is another matter, it’s definitely enough to eat fresh food at home.” Tang Xiaodong looked careless, but his opinion at this moment was very reliable:
“I don’t think the duck shed at the edge of the pond is necessary—ducks are also very smart. You can build a duck shed specifically for them on the mountain. Once they get used to it, they will come back every day.”
“The area where the duck shed used to be, including the surrounding area, often becomes a depression as the rainwater level rises, right? Then some wetland plants can be planted.”
“Up above, you can directly divide the areas and plant the crops you are interested in one by one.”
The inner circle can be divided into countless pieces, and the outer circle can also be separated.
Moreover, the mountain is either at the top or at a sharp corner. The top of the mountain has plenty of light during the day and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is just suitable for some plants that can tolerate the temperature difference...
Yanran was considering another aspect:
“The area is too big, and it’s in a village. Even if you hire more people to manage it later, it’s inevitable that some people will be jealous of your home. The land is well fenced now.”
Once the fence is put up, ordinary people will have to go through a lot of trouble to get in, which can save a lot of trouble.
"However, if you continue to encircle this mountain like this, the area will be large and the cost will be high."
“That also needs to be surrounded.”
Song Tan was determined.
The taste of her food must be hard to hide.
The iron mesh fence not only prevents people with malicious intentions, but also prevents familiar people from casually walking in and touching a couple of people.
Once it starts, it cannot be solved by two people.
Yan Ran nodded: "I also think this is reliable. Although the early stage pressure is a bit high, many crops grow quickly and the cash returns quickly, so there is no need to worry so much."
“And don’t your family also make the traditional Chinese medicine Golden Cherry? I’ve learned that if the economic benefits are high, you can plant a circle of Golden Cherry next to the fence.”
Song Tan laughed: "This is how we grow it in the chestnut garden. At first, we used it as a protective net. Later, the medicinal effect of golden cherry seeds was so good that doctors from other places stayed in our village clinic specifically, just to be able to use it for the first time. Acquisition at once.”
“So, the ones planted now are still too few, and there are plans to expand the scale.”
However, it is difficult to buy large seedlings.
Currently, those who grow this plant either use it as a female parent in a rose cultivation base, or in a medicinal cultivation base—the improved thornless ones are now used.
So when autumn came, Song Tan decided to prune the branches and take cuttings.
"Okay." Professor Song nodded in agreement: "Golden cherry blossoms grow very quickly, and they will be thick and tall. Apart from the inconvenience for you to pick them, their protective capabilities are still very strong."
"As for the mountains...if some places need to be specially designated for planting, I suggest you plant some wolfberries, which can enrich another category."
Wolfberries have strong vitality. If they are simply used as partitions, there is no need to worry about water, fertilizer and various pest and disease management in the later period. They can grow as they wish, and there is no need for large-scale management...
The night wind carried the chirping of insects, and the heat in the air gradually disappeared. Ulan smiled and brought out a large basin of watermelon from the house. In the yard, everyone was looking at the photos taken today and imagining the beauty of the future. .
Correction: I’ll make it up tomorrow morning. Can’t stay up late tonight (must stay healthy!!)
