Planting watermelon is of course easier than farming, but it is also very troublesome from soaking the seeds to accelerate germination. Jin Nanfeng read a lot of books and made a plan by himself. Who knew that when he returned home, Grandpa Jin had already prepared everything. .

Seeing his grandson's appearance, Grandpa Jin said quite proudly: "What else do you plan to do? Just ask your grandpa about planting watermelons. In fact, the watermelon seeds have to be dried for two days before being sterilized, but now they are bought outside. There is no need."

Listening to Grandpa Jin's words, Jin Nanfeng was adjusting the temperature of the water. When soaking watermelon seeds, it is best to use lukewarm water, which must be about 55 degrees Celsius. He wished he could measure it with a thermometer, but Grandpa Jin reached out to touch it and said it was almost done.

After the seeds were put in, while stirring, Jin Nanfeng sneaked in some power of the heart of life into it, which was considered a sneaky trick for himself, hoping that these watermelons could be improved from the seed stage.

Stir while soaking for about 30 minutes, and then put it there to soak the seeds for two hours.In theory, these seeds have to be treated with chemicals, such as soaking with 100 times formalin for 30 minutes, or soaking with 50% carbendazim 500 times for 1 hour, then rinse with water and soak for 3-4 hours. Hours, so that the germination rate is high.

However, Jin Nanfeng felt that since he wanted to grow watermelons, he should grow completely natural and pollution-free watermelons, and no chemical fertilizers or pesticides would be used at that time, so that the final product would be a truly green product.

So at the beginning, he didn't ask for the germination accelerator recommended by Zhang Guoliang. He would rather have a lower germination rate in the end, and treat it as the survival of the fittest, and the seeds that can germinate on their own are good seeds.

However, Heart of Life's reputation is not based on it. Back then, it could turn pocket cacti into gigantism, and it could make pothos crawl up the entire room. It was also an easy task to deal with small seeds.

Although Jin Nanfeng controlled his output in order not to attract attention, these seeds still germinated almost 100% in the end, and Zhang Guoliang recommended all good varieties.

After accelerating germination, it is not possible to plant directly. In the middle, the seedbed must be prepared for sowing, and the seedling hole must be prepared early, and the human and livestock fat should be put down in advance, and the furrow for planting watermelons must be prepared.

The comparison is easy to say, and with the guidance of Grandpa Jin, Jin Nanfeng has a lot of strength. Even after being away from the farmland for many years, he didn't feel too tired when farming, but composting was a bit embarrassing for him.

The advantage of human and animal fertilizer is that it is green and non-polluting, environmentally friendly and can ensure the effect of fertilization. This thing is not uncommon in Yueyingshan Village. After all, people farm less and use less. Those fruit trees had been tidied up and prepared, and now Jin Nanfeng just went to pick them out and use them.

But everyone knows that the smell of human and animal fat is very smoky. When doing this work, Jin Nanfeng put on all the masks he used to deal with the smog in Shanghai, and he still felt very smoky. After washing for half an hour, he still felt that his body A foul smell.

However, the two old people still saw his jokes. Grandpa Jin said directly: "The young people nowadays can't bear any hardships. They also said that they want to come back to grow watermelons, and they can't even fertilize them."

Grandma Jin still spoke for her grandson: "Can Nannan be blamed? Any young man in the village would rather go out to move bricks than farm at home. So many lands in our village are wasted."

Jin Nanfeng was still smelling himself, so he asked, "Aren't all the fields in our village planted?"

He had seen it during his morning jog these days. There was not much land in their village, and there was even less fertile land that could grow rice. At this moment, someone had already planted seedlings.

Grandma Jin explained: "It's a pity that your grandpa Xiaolin has been watching the shortage for the past two days. We have negotiated with others to help plant and rent part of the house a year. Except for the one acre of land we eat, the rest is also Xiaolin's land. Help plant it."

This Grandpa Xiao Lin is also a poor person in the village. In fact, the Lin family is the most common surname in the village. Can't live without natural and man-made disasters.

The Jin family used to be difficult, but Jin Nanfeng was promising. He started taking money from the family when he was in college. Grandpa Xiaolin and Grandpa Jin are of the same generation, but he is the youngest of the Lin family. He is actually younger than Father Jin. Not a few years older.

Speaking of which, Jin Nanfeng and Xiao Lin's son used to be classmates, but that person didn't like studying, and went out to work after graduating from junior high school. He also made money a few years ago, and the two-story building at home was built at that time.

Unexpectedly, misfortune would come. An accident happened at the construction site where his son worked, and he was directly crushed to death. The construction site lost money, but the worst thing happened later. sensible child.

At that time, Grandpa Xiaolin’s family was really poor and poor, and Grandma Xiaolin was crying so hard that her eyes were going to go blind. In the end, it was because of her grandson who was waiting to be fed. In the past few years, the grandson has grown up, and the two old people don’t want to suffer for the child. work.

The young people in the village went out to work more, so the family could not grow so many fields. Later, the village head decided to give these lands to Xiaolin's family to plant, and rent some of them every year, and the surplus part made the Lin family's life easier.

Jin Nanfeng thought of this as soon as he turned his head, and asked casually: "Is Lin Fatty going to elementary school soon?"

But Grandma Jin said: "I went to school last year. Fat Grandma said that he is not suitable for studying. He can get zero duck eggs in the first grade test paper. She is so worried that she can't sleep at night."

Jin Nanfeng nodded, but didn't take it too seriously. The next day he had to get up and plant. It would be a month before he finished tidying up the melon fields.

This time he plans to do a big job. All the available sand by the small river has been developed. Right now, as far as the eye can see, there are densely packed border fields, with green watermelon seedlings in the middle, which seem to be somewhat alive. Vigorous look is there.

Grandpa Jin and Grandma Jin saw him getting up early in the dark, and felt very distressed. Grandma Jin put on a straw hat and was about to come to help. Grandpa Jin hadn't even removed the plaster cast on one of his legs, so he insisted on coming over.

Jin Nanfeng didn't dare to let him come, so he could only lick his face and act coquettishly, and asked the two old people to get him some delicious food at home, which persuaded them all. After all, planting watermelon seedlings requires bending over, the old It's really too much for a long time.

As a result, Grandpa Jin and Grandma Jin managed to go back. The next day, Third Uncle Lin came again. As soon as Jin Nanfeng persuaded him, he became angry and scolded: "Isn't it true that you don't treat Uncle Third as your own? Isn't it true that every family in the village is mutual?" Give me a hand."

Uncle Lin was only in his fifties, and he still regarded himself as a middle-aged man. He didn't listen to Jin Nanfeng's persuasion at all, and became angry if he persuaded him too much, so Jin Nanfeng had no choice but to let him go, but he had to take him home for dinner every day.

Fortunately, there seemed to be many melon fields, but it didn't take long to plant them. A large area was soon completed. Jin Nanfeng looked at his melon fields with his arms crossed, full of ambition, but Sanshu Lin next to him was a little worried.

This person is also the leader of the field, and now he said worriedly: "Nan Feng, isn't it a waste that you planted so many at once, these watermelons are not very easy to sell."

Jin Nanfeng pulled him back and said, "If you can't buy it, everyone in the village will eat it. Anyway, the seeds are not worth much."

But Uncle Lin said, "Isn't the seed money just money? You have to fertilize it later, and you have to take care of it. It takes a lot of effort."

Jin Nanfeng laughed and said, "Just take it as exercise. Let's go for a walk. My grandma must have packed dinner. Today, my uncle and nephew have a good meal. I asked grandma to prepare your favorite pork head."

When the dinner table was served, Uncle Lin let go. He was used to eating at Jin's house. Now he tasted wild vegetables with chopsticks and said with a little surprise: "Auntie, your cooking has improved again. Ah, this shepherd's purse is really delicious."

Grandma Jin grinned from ear to ear and said with a smile: "If you like to eat, eat more. They are all dug at the foot of the mountain. It's not worth any money. When you leave later, take some back home, so that the family can eat more." Try it too."

Uncle Lin was not too polite, and said: "The auntie will decorate it for me later, my family also likes to eat this."

Jin Nanfeng laughed secretly beside him, Grandma Jin's cooking skills are good, but the reason why Sanshu Lin thinks it is delicious is because of the effect of the heart of life, Jin Nanfeng didn't waste that energy these days.

Because the scope of popularization is gone, the role of the heart of life is not so obvious, and it will not become huge in a second like it was in Shangjing, but this kind of influence is subtle.

For example, those fruit trees on the mountain that only bloom but do not bear fruit, and are about to die these years, are full of buds this year. For example, the bamboo shoots on the mountain are particularly fresh and tender, and the wild vegetables taste very sweet.

Jin Nanfeng slowly figured out the power of the heart of life. For plants, this is a big tonic pill. If it is swallowed all at once, it will grow explosively. If it is a long stream, it will be slowly improved.

This is also why he is confident that he can grow the melon field well. Among other things, if the taste of this watermelon is exceptionally good, even if the travel expenses are expensive, it will not lose money if it is sold.

This piece of watermelon is not just a watermelon, but also an important proof that determines whether Jin Nanfeng can persuade his grandparents to agree to stay with him in the future. Jin Nanfeng also puts his heart into them.

The heart of life that was originally covered by rain and dew is now one-third used on this piece of land. You must know that the area as large as Yueying Mountain is just to divide the remaining two-thirds equally.

After using it a lot, Jin Nanfeng also discovered the law of the heart of life. It was like a burst of energy hidden in his body. As long as it wasn't exhausted, he didn't feel anything, and even fell asleep after releasing it. better.

He is not sure whether this energy will affect the human body. After all, Grandpa Jin's wound seems to heal faster, but there is no obvious change, but the impact on plants is huge.
