SWNOVELS C67 – The Harvest Season
Besides looking at the vegetable field, Zhang Xiaoloong also fed the little wolf with Herb Growing Art every day. Although he hadn’t fully recovered in the past few days, his two hind legs were already able to exert a bit of strength. His internal injuries had basically recovered, and his fur color was much better than Wolf King’s. It even felt more pure and shiny.
This little guy took advantage of Zhang Xiaoloong not noticing and secretly moved to the side of the vegetable field. He stuck his head out and secretly took a bite of the vegetable seedling. He ate it like it didn’t even care about the dirt on it.
This made Zhang Xiaoloong laugh. He went forward and knocked on the little wolf’s head. “This new dish, I didn’t even taste it. I let a little bad guy like you taste it. Is it delicious?”
The little wolf whimpered and rubbed its head against Zhang Xiaoloong. It was afraid that the other party would blame it, so it stuck out its tongue again. The little wolf licked its lips and opened its mouth wide as if it was trying to please him.
No one had ever seen a wolf laugh, but Zhang Xiaoloong felt that this little thing was laughing. contemporary romance
He rubbed its head twice, but he did not blame it. Instead, he felt that this could better reflect the taste of his dishes.
As the saying goes, wolves eat meat all over the world, and even wolves are attracted to vegetables. No one would believe it if one said it wrongly!
Thinking about it, this was normal. The Herb Growing Art could only be used by God Shennong. It was specially created to get rid of all diseases and trees in spring. It was nourished by the Herb Growing Art. It was normal for these dishes to be delicious. It would be abnormal if they were not delicious.
However, Zhang Xiaoloong suddenly thought of a problem. He only had one acre of vegetable land now. He could use the Herb Growing Art once a day, but in the future, it would be ten acres, one hundred acres, or even one thousand two thousand acres. What should he do?
Even if the Herb Growing Art could be cultivated, his Divine Power would slowly grow. In the end, he could not squander it like he did now.
Even if he really had so much divine power and could meet this requirement, these vegetables would not be able to get away from him. No matter how good the vegetables were, they would not be able to get rid of the tradition of farmers.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoloong decided from now on, he would not use the Herb Growing Art on these vegetables anymore. Instead, he would use the ordinary vegetable management method to manage this piece of top quality or even divine-grade vegetable land.
As for how to manage it, he would definitely need to learn some modern management techniques. Together with his inherited Shennong management method, the two of them combined together to achieve the most perfect effect.
China was a great country with a civilization history of five thousand years. When talking about this, more of the descendants of China thought about the wisdom of the ancient people and were proud.
It’s undeniable that many of the crystallised wisdom of the ancient people, even the most advanced modern technology, can’t perfectly replicate it. It makes us descendants feel ashamed and proud of it.
But at the same time, some of the methods of the ancient people, even if it is the heritage of Shennong, will be unsuitable for modern use.
As the descendant of Great God Shennong, Zhang Xiaoloong felt that he should have inherited the great spirit and not replicate the agricultural model of the past. If that was really the case, then it would not be improvement but would instead be regression.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Although those vegetables had lost the nourishment of the Herb Growing Art, under Zhang Xiaoloong’s careful care, they still grew very fast.
Usually, the maturity period of vegetables varied from twenty days to a few months. Most of the time, they were fruits and vegetables. For example, tomatoes and the like. Zhang Xiaoloong’s space was limited, and he wanted to collect the vegetables as soon as possible. Therefore, he did not plant many fruits and vegetables.
Even so, these vegetables were not mature yet, but Zhang Xiaoloong found that these vegetables might grow faster than the usual vegetables he knew. Each type was more than twice as fast.
Now, the little white vegetables he planted had basically reached maturity. As for the other vegetables, it would only take a few days for them to be sold.
What made Zhang Xiaoloong feel strange was that these vegetables did not find any pests during the growing process.
Since he wanted to walk the path of unpolluted vegetables, he naturally could not use fertilizers and pesticides. However, along the way, he did not worry at all, as if the insects were not interested in these vegetables.
At first, Zhang Xiaoloong did not understand, but later on when his family talked about insect resistant cotton, he suddenly understood that this was the reason why the seeds mutated!
This phenomenon was like cotton seeds that had been improved. Ordinary cotton needed to be used once every three days. Otherwise, the insects could eat more than half of the flower buds and peaches, and the improved insect resistance cotton. However, they would not need to use medicine, nor would they need to worry about the problem of the main insect pests.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoloong’s vegetable seeds were different from the improvement of the insect-resistant cotton. It was not appropriate to describe it as mutation.
It should be said that these vegetable seeds had evolved even more perfectly under the nourishment of the Herb Growing Art. Because of this, the pests and diseases that could originally be regarded as natural enemies were no longer able to threaten them.
However, Zhang Xiaoloong was thinking about one thing. There was a balance in the laws of nature. If there were no natural enemies like these vegetables, if there were no hidden checks and balances, then there must be some hidden flaw. Where was this flaw?
Ca…
Zhang Xiaoloong was attracted by this sound and turned his head. He found that the little wolf was harming the vegetables again.
His eyes lit up. Haha, so it turns out that there was no hidden flaw. Instead, there was a hidden natural enemy!
These vegetables were constantly harassed by the little wolf in the process of growing. Even a pure carnivorous animal like the little wolf was almost turned into a staunch vegetarian by this vegetable field.
This was also a balance. If it was too delicious and there were no pests or diseases, then it would naturally attract some natural enemies that had never been there before. For example, a large animal like the little wolf that did not eat vegetables would also run over to eat these vegetables.
Fortunately, this was a greenhouse. If it was outside, who knew how many wild and small animals would come.
“I didn’t think that I would have to thank you!” Zhang Xiaoloong patted the little wolf’s head.
If the wolf cub’s natural enemy hadn’t appeared in time, it might have caused other hidden defects, or even diseases that he couldn’t predict. This was the restriction of nature on perfect things.
The wolf cub opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. His head once again put on a silly smile.
After understanding all of this, Zhang Xiaoloong found a bag and picked some ripe little vegetables.
The vegetables could be sold on the shelves very soon, but he had not even found a way to sell them yet.
He was also a manager who lacked experience. If he really made dozens of acres, hundreds of acres of vegetable land, and then went to find a market after the vegetables were sold, he would probably have to rot in the land.
Of course, this was also because Zhang Xiaoloong only cared about management. He did not expect the vegetables to grow so quickly.
And in his subconscious, finding a buyer was not a problem at all.
After dusting off the dust on the white vegetable leaves, Zhang Xiaoloong imitated the little wolf and opened his mouth to bite on it.
“My God, we haven’t seen each other for only a few days. Your vegetable has grown so big?” Lee Xiulian stood at the door of the greenhouse. She was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell out.
The harvest season had arrived. It would depend on whether the harvest was a surprise or a shock!
