Chapter 31: Greenhouse blueberry cultivation! The backbone of the farm!

[Host chooses the normal lottery three times, the lottery is in progress...]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving two ordinary rewards:]

[Crop seeds/seedlings*200, the host can choose the crop variety. 】

[Jungle machete: An extremely sharp machete with excellent hardness. It can cut grass and trees for a long time without bending the blade. It is suitable for traveling in the mountains. ]

I won two ordinary prizes in the ordinary draw, which is not bad.

At this moment, a purple light flashed before Xu Yang's eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for receiving a high-level reward:]

[Special Effect Nutrient Solution: A nutrient solution that improves physical fitness and endurance. It can better convert exercise into one's own physical energy. The more you exercise, the better the effect. (Only effective for the host)]

I didn't expect to win a high-level reward from an ordinary lottery.

This reward sounds good.

Xu Yang took out the nutrient solution immediately and drank it.

After drinking it, I didn't feel anything.

It's like drinking water.

The function of the nutrient solution is to strengthen physical fitness through exercise. For example, Xu Yang is tired and consumes physical strength on the mountain road, so his endurance will be enhanced little by little.

The body changes little by little, and nutrient solution will greatly accelerate the pace of this change.

Xu Yang turned his attention to the crop seeds again, and the system prompted that only one could be selected.

Xu Yang originally planned to buy blueberries grown in greenhouses, so naturally he chose blueberries.

There are many varieties of blueberries, and Xu Yang had done research in advance.

Varieties include H5, Eureka, Skylark, Faxin, Chungao, O'Neill, Diva, Kitamura and many more.

Each variety also tastes different.

For example, H5 has thicker fruit powder and tastes sweet and sour; Eureka has extremely large fruits and good hardness; Skylark has better storage resistance and is suitable for commercialization; Faxin is crispy and sweet, and is the best highbush blueberry.

There are many varieties of any crop.

For example, tomatoes, rice, and even grass.

The tomatoes I ate when I was a child were delicious, sweet and sour, juicy, and the flesh was also tasty, but the tomatoes on the market now always seem tasteless.

That’s because the tomatoes on the market mature quickly, are easy to store, and are easy to sell, so they have taken over the market.

Delicious and juicy tomatoes can only be found in farmers’ own vegetable gardens.

Xu Yang selected the systematic blueberry variety, then took out the blueberry seedlings and prepared to plant them in the greenhouse.

The biggest investment in his farm is the greenhouse, which cost more than 20,000 yuan to build, and it has all the facilities and equipment.

Then, Xu Yang made a few phone calls and started hiring villagers to do the work.

In order to gain popularity, he turned on the drone and started a live broadcast.

Because Xu Yang’s videos are very good, his number of fans has now exceeded 10, and his development is very good.

As soon as the show started, old fans came into the room to say hello.

Soon, the number of people in the live broadcast room stabilized at 1000.

"Today I will start live broadcasting the planting of blueberries and show you some things about greenhouse planting."

"Planting is not that simple. I guess I'll be busy until midnight today."

Xu Yang said to netizens.

As he spoke, four or five blue tricycles loaded with sand drove into the greenhouse.

Xu Yang is broadcasting live in the greenhouse.

The audience found this scene strange.

[Isn’t planting just about burying seeds in the ground and watering them? 】

[Yeah, is there anything else to be particular about? ]

After seeing the comments, Xu Yang smiled and said:

"The reason why blueberries are expensive is definitely because they are not that easy to grow. It is not easy to grow them."

"Blueberry seedlings are very picky about the soil. If the soil becomes compacted after being dug, blueberries won't grow at all. So you have to carefully prepare the soil."

"First, you need to lay a layer of sand. Sand permeates water better, is softer and more breathable."

"We'll have to throw sand later."

As Xu Yang spoke, he prepared the tools.

Xu Hongshan also came and called a few people from the village. They did not go to the mountain today.

After all, farm work has come, and it is important to do the farm work first. Besides, they are all hired by Xu Yang, so they can earn some hard-earned money.

Tricycles dumped sand into the greenhouse.

Then, seven or eight people took shovels and started to spread sand, spreading the piles of sand and leveling them.

A drone was flying inside the greenhouse, broadcasting this scene live.

The blue tarpaulin is like a dome, and the structure of the frame is clearly visible. Many mountain people are doing farm work in the greenhouse. The picture is realistic and beautiful.

It took more than an hour of hard work before the sand was finally spread evenly.

The villagers who came to help were tired from the work, so Xu Hongshan gave each of them a cigarette, and everyone chatted while smoking.

"Hongshan, your son's greenhouse is pretty good. What are you going to plant? Is it wood ear mushrooms?"

A villager asked curiously.

They were just working according to Xu Yang's requirements, and they had no idea what Xu Yang was planting.

"I don't really know what he's going to grow, probably fruits and vegetables or something."

Xu Hongshan laughed.

It is better to say less about things like planting. Some people like to imitate others. When they see others making money, they want to learn from them too. But if they end up losing money, they may blame others.

So try to say as little as possible.

This is what Xu Yang planned. Even if the villagers knew that he was growing blueberries, Xu Yang would keep the income from the blueberries secret.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

The entire greenhouse is covered with sand and is flat.

Xu Yang nodded and started calling again.

He didn't pay attention to the situation in the live broadcast room, but the live broadcast was always on and people came in from time to time.

Soon, several more tricycles came in, pulling in black stuff that looked like mud.

Some old fans in the live broadcast room were very curious about what this was.

It felt like Xu Yang was playing a planting game. Every once in a while, several blue tricycles came in to transport things.

Xu Yang explained aptly:

"These are fermented cow dung mixed with some pine cone bark, which is rich in minerals and nutrients."

"Blueberries have very high nutritional requirements and require a growing environment that can provide nutrients, so we have to use the best natural fertilizers."

After hearing his words, everyone finally understood.

Then, following the same steps, the fertilizer was poured on the ground and people began to spread it evenly into a full layer.

Then, Xu Yang made another phone call, and soon two small excavators drove in.

The more people watched, the more curious they became.

This is interesting!

It’s such a lot of work to farm.

But you can see that it is indeed quite tiring.

The function of the excavator is to turn the soil over, turning up the sand, cow dung and soil, which is equivalent to mixing them evenly.

The excavators are busy inside.

Xu Yang invited the other workers to have lunch together.

In the countryside, when people are asked to work, they will be provided with lunch, which usually consists of stewed vegetables, steamed buns, and rice. It is both filling and delicious.

Xu Yang added a lot of meat into the stew, and everyone enjoyed the meal and had energy to work.

The live broadcast was turned off for two hours at noon and turned on again in the afternoon.

When netizens came in and looked, they saw that the land in the greenhouse had been turned over by the excavator and was very regular. The land looked loose and soft, and very neat.

OCD ecstasy.

This is not over yet.

The drone gave Xu Yang a close-up. Xu Yang made two more phone calls. After a while, he stood outside the greenhouse and drove into the greenhouse with several tricycles.

Xu Yang turned on the microphone on his chest and explained to the audience in the live broadcast room:
"These are all peat soils. Peat soil itself is relatively fluffy and acidic, rich in organic matter, which is just right for blueberry growth."

“Although it’s expensive, I still have to buy it.”

"The next step is to smooth the peat soil and lay a layer on top."

Preparations for planting continue.

The live broadcast time span is relatively long, and Xu Yang will edit the video later to make it more convenient for fans to watch.

After the peat soil is spread, sulfur is sprinkled on the ground to adjust the pH, and then insecticide is sprinkled on the ground to prevent pests.

Farming is not that simple, there is a lot to learn.

Some experts once said that farming has it easy, all they have to do is put the seeds in the ground and water them. This is really an outrageous statement.

Farm work is never easy.

"The preparations are almost done. All that's left is to harrow the land, weed and plant the seedlings."

"It's finally over!"

After Xu Yang finished spraying the insecticide, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Farming is really not easy at all!
