Leisurely Cultivation Time

Chapter 56 The Vegetable Garden

Ye Fei came to a village on the outskirts of Ludao following the navigation prompts, but the village here has a much larger population than Ye Fei's hometown. Of course, the environment is not as good as his hometown.

Then, following Zhang Xiaoshi's command, he turned left and right through the village, and came to the side of a mountain.

After stopping the car in an open space, the two walked along the path for another five or six minutes, and finally saw the vegetable garden Zhang Xiaoshi mentioned.

It's just that this vegetable garden seems a bit big. Looking at the vegetable garden surrounded by fences, you can hardly see the edge at a glance.Listen to Zhang Xiaoshi's introduction that this vegetable garden has a total of about [-] acres.

"Great hand." Ye Fei couldn't help sighing in his heart.In order to provide the material supply for a hotel, a vegetable field of about [-] mu was built.

Zhang Xiaoshi said: "You can help me to have a look. The dishes here are guided by my father's experts. Everything is grown with the most scientific methods, but the quality is still not up to his requirements."

"Okay, let's go and have a look." The two walked inside after speaking.

"What are you doing?" Just approaching the vegetable garden, a security guard in uniform came over and asked.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoshi took out a work certificate from her bag and said, "I am a staff member of Yuanhong. This is my work certificate. I want to see the person in charge here."

The security guard took Zhang Xiaoshi's work card and looked at it carefully, and then said to her, "Wait a minute."

Saying that, the security guard walked inside.

"You have such a big vegetable garden here just for a hotel?" Ye Fei chatted with Zhang Xiaoshi when he was bored waiting.

"Not only that, we, Yuanhonglou, have more than ten branches in Ludao. Except for Ludao, we have branches in the whole province. Because we have too many branches, we consume a lot of materials every day, and some The ingredients supplied by suppliers are uneven, so my dad will try to build a vegetable garden by himself and control the quality of the ingredients in his own hands."

"If it succeeds here, he will promote it in other cities, so that the quality of all ingredients is uniform."

"Oh, it's like this. Uncle is really powerful. Not everyone can dare to do such a big deal." Ye Fei admired.

"That's for sure, my dad is not good who is good." Zhang Xiaoshi said proudly.In the eyes of the children, Dad is the most powerful person in the world.

"Yeah, uncle is the best." Seeing what Zhang Xiaoshi said, Ye Fei hurriedly praised her.

At this moment, the security guard who went in just now came back, followed by a middle-aged man.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zhang Xiaoshi, he said enthusiastically, "Miss Zhang, it's you. Please come in quickly."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhang Xiaoshi nodded, and then said to Ye Fei: "At this time, the person in charge of the vegetable garden is Mr. Xu Chang."

"Miss Zhang is too polite, just call me Xu Chang."

Then the three walked inside, Zhang Xiaoshi pointed at Ye Fei and said, "I brought him to see the vegetable garden today, Dad told you, right?"

"I've said that, so should the two of you take a rest now? Or go straight there?" asked the middle-aged man.

"Go directly." Ye Fei replied.

"Then please follow me." Xu Chang said and led the way.He spoke very kindly, and did not underestimate Ye Fei just because he was young.

Walking along the way, the vegetables in the first section have just germinated, and the next section grows much taller, and the next section has already begun to bloom, and after another section, the vegetables have already begun to bear fruit.

Zhang Shiyi explained: "We have divided areas here. For example, when the vegetables in a certain area are ripe during this period, we will pick this section. After this section of vegetables are picked, the next area will be ripe. Then this area If it can’t grow any longer, replant the soil with other seasonal vegetables.”

"We only grow vegetables in season. We, Yuanhong, take the high-end route and never provide customers with dishes that are out of season. The menu will be changed every other month."

While listening to Zhang Xiaoshi's explanation, Ye Fei carefully observed the condition of the vegetables until they reached the area where the vegetables were ripe.

Ye Fei squatted down again to check the roots and leaves of the vegetables, and then carefully looked at the soil on the ground.Then he clapped the dirt in his hands and stood up.

"How is it?" Zhang Xiaoshi asked quickly, and Xu Chang also looked at Ye Fei, wanting to know the result of his reading.

"The vegetables are growing well and healthy, there is no problem at all, and the soil is also fine. What kind of water do you water?"

"The water is all from the river, and it is very clean. The water source is from the mountain. We have also checked and found that there is no pollution. Moreover, the time period for watering and fertilizing is based on the advice of experts. .The pesticides are also formulated according to the ratio given by the experts."

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and continued: "Sir, look, here are the suggestions given by experts."

Ye Fei took the notebook in his hand and looked at it, and then said to him: "These dosages are all right, the quality of the vegetables produced in this way is already very high."

"It's no problem to provide to other stores, and the quality of the vegetables provided outside is better than before, but when it was provided to the vegetable restaurant, Mr. Zhang said that it could not meet the requirements for making vegetarian dishes."

"It looks like this." Ye Fei looked at the vegetable field and fell into deep thought.Zhang Xiaoshi and Xu Chang didn't bother either.

After a while, Ye Fei said: "Then we can only try."

"How to try?" Zhang Xiaoshi asked, Xu Chang also looked at Ye Fei curiously.

"I didn't run out of the fertilizer I prepared for Taolin last time. I thought it might be useful this time, so I brought it here and put it in the trunk of the car. I'll get it right away."

"Do you want to move the fertilizer? I'll call the workers right away." Xu Chang said hastily upon hearing this.

Ye Fei waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a bag of several tens of catties of fertilizer, and I can fight it alone. Go and help me prepare some water, which will be used when the fertilizer is applied."

"I'll go with you." Zhang Xiaoshi said.

"No, I'll be back soon, just wait here." Ye Fei walked outside as he said.

Not long after, the two saw Ye Fei walking in quickly with a fish scale bag in one hand.

After putting down the fertilizer, Ye Fei asked, "Is the water ready?"

"Ready, over there." Xu Chang pointed behind Ye Fei.

I saw a large water tank there, and there was a faucet on top of the water tank, which should be used for watering at ordinary times.There is also a bucket and ladle next to it.

"Which batch of vegetables will be picked tomorrow?" Ye Fei asked Xu Chang.

As soon as Ye Fei asked, Xu Chang understood that this was to fertilize the batch you picked tomorrow.

He couldn't help looking at Zhang Xiaoshi, he was afraid that there would be problems with the vegetables that had been watered today, and if a dozen or so restaurants couldn't supply the vegetables tomorrow, he couldn't bear the responsibility.

"It's okay, I'm responsible for everything." Zhang Xiaoshi naturally understood Xu Chang's meaning when he saw Xu Chang's eyes, and said proactively, he was full of trust in Ye Fei.

Now that he heard what Zhang Xiaoshi said, Xu Chang naturally wouldn't hide it, and pointed out to Ye Fei the picking area tomorrow.

After learning about the picking area, Ye Fei scooped up two scoops of fertilizer and poured it into the water tank, then stirred it evenly.

He does this because it takes days for the fertilizer to be incorporated into the soil and then absorbed by the vegetables.

Previously, Taolin was able to absorb the nutrients of fertilizer overnight because of Ye Fei's help.

Now that there are so many vegetables, Ye Fei naturally has no way to help them absorb nutrients, and finally he thought that the easiest thing to penetrate and absorb is water.

No matter what kind of living body, for them, the easiest thing to absorb is water, so Ye Fei melted the fertilizer into the water, and then poured the fertilizer water on the roots of vegetables.

But it's still early now, the sun is so strong at noon, it's not a good time to water the vegetables, so we can only wait around four o'clock to water again.
