Chapter 116 Pollination
In May, Liu Junhao's yard became a world of flowers.
The heavy locust flowers had just bloomed, and the watermelons in the corner of the wall also bloomed beige flowers. At first, it was just one or two, and then the entire courtyard was shrouded in the fragrance of flowers.
Last year, he only planted more than a dozen melon seedlings in the yard. He didn't have to worry about eating watermelons for a summer. Until the end of October, he even put a large flower skin at home.
This year, more watermelons are planted in this yard. The seventy or eighty seeds left behind were removed and distributed to Professor Zhao and the stone lock, and the rest are all scattered at the base of the wall.
Although there is no care, these melon seedlings are very vigorous and grow extremely lush. The branches and vines climb along the courtyard wall, and many rhizomes even rush into the ditch, producing many aerial roots.
The melon seedlings are so tight that the road is tight, with no gaps on the ground, and there is no way to get on. Liu Junhao is careful every time he enters the backyard, for fear of stepping them off.
This is not a solution. He still used the method last year: Since there is no space on the ground, then move towards the air.
If you can climb up the tree, you can build seedlings on the tree, and the rest will set up shelves like beans.
He and Professor Zhao spent a while before tied all the melon seedlings to the shelf. In order to prevent the death of melon seedlings from turning over, Liu Junhao also secretly poured some spring water at the roots of each melon seedling.
Now these melon seedlings are blooming more beautifully. In just a few days, six or seven small yellow flowers have bloomed on many melon seedlings.
Last year, a melon seedling plant had a maximum of 21 fruits. There were twelve fruits in a small area. Judging from the growth of melon seedling plant this year, it is probably better than last year.
The yellow flowers fell to the ground. The big sweet potatoes of quail eggs grew. They are still very small now and cannot be used for the Internet. However, Liu Junhao also prepared these things early in case they were too late.
These days, there are many colorful butterflies in the yard again. However, compared with the hundreds of butterflies in the past few days, it is not as good as the grand occasion.
There were even more bees. When I walked into the backyard, the buzzing sound kept coming. This little guy was busy all day long in the yard, causing the naughty kids in the village to catch bees and eat honey in the yard every day.
Liu Junhao also did this when he was a child. He walked over gently while the bees were collecting honey on the stamens. He suddenly pinched the pair of small wings from behind with his fingers and then pulled off his tail. This way he could safely lick the honey. Generally, a thick layer of light yellow or milky white honey is attached to the hind legs of bees. It tastes sweet and spicy. The taste is quite good.
He was recalling it, but he heard the little kid jumping and shouting in his backyard.
"Uncle Xiaohao, Uncle Xiaohao, come and have a look." At this time, the hairy child rushed to the front yard and shouted.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Liu Junhao ran into the backyard and saw the little kid covering his mouth and jumping around there.
"The bee stung the child and hurriedly explained next to him.
It turned out that the naughty child didn't get rid of the bee's tail just now, so he hurriedly put his mouth on his legs and licked it. As a result, he was stung by a bee needle, and now he was "screaming" in pain.
"Hurry up and stick your tongue out and let me see." Liu Junhao was both angry and funny, so he hurriedly asked the little kid to open his mouth wide and then stick out his tongue.
I saw a large piece of swollen on the tongue. He squinted his eyes for a long time and finally pulled out the bee needle.
"What did I just explain to you naughty kids? Don't pull watermelon flowers. Why don't you listen? This flower will produce big watermelons in summer." Liu Junhao scolded him when he saw many watermelon flowers scattered on the ground.
After rushing them all to the front yard, Liu Junhao saw that several wooden shelves had been knocked down, so he hurriedly found iron wire to reinforce them.
After he re-established the wooden frame, he suddenly remembered the watermelons he planted in the stone lock. It must have produced a lot of small watermelons now, right?
But after searching, he was shocked: there were many flowers on the watermelon seedlings, but he did not see a small watermelon.
What's going on? Is it because of the water and soil?
Liu Junhao felt it was so strange. All along, this stone lock gave him the feeling that everything is valuable and everything is planted and harvested.
But now looking at the many yellow flowers scattered on the sandy land, it makes people feel extremely depressed. I really can't figure out why this watermelon just blooms but doesn't bear fruit.
It shouldn't be a problem with spring water. If that were the case, the melon seedlings in my yard would not bear fruit.
What else do these melon seedlings lack? How come they will not bear fruit?
Thinking of what was missing, Liu Junhao's head flashed with inspiration, and he patted his forehead hard.
Isn't it just a lack of something? Bees.
This stone lock is to give a closed environment. Without bees pollination, watermelons will be produced.
Why did lotus flowers in the spring water produce lotus pods last year? At that time, there were no insects in the stone locks.
But Liu Junhao immediately thought of the answer, that is, the fish in the spring water, as long as their bodies are gentle
The lotus is _, then pollination will be automatically completed.
It seems that some bees are still needed to introduce them into the stone lock. When Liu Junhao thought of this, he immediately started to catch bees in the backyard.
The weather is very good today, and it is the time when there are too many bees, so he caught more than a dozen people and threw them in without any trouble.
The bees were like headless flies as soon as they entered the stone lock, running around in it. However, after experiencing the initial panic, the bees began to calm down slowly and fell on the watermelon flowers to collect honey.
Now Liu Junhao was completely relieved and paid attention to the clusters of fine hair grass that had just been planted on the beach.
In just a few days, some fine hair grass has undergone obvious changes. The leaves, which were only a few centimeters long, have grown to ten centimeters and look much thicker.
If the momentum continues, it will probably be able to harvest soon. I just don’t know if this fine hair grass can be cut like a vegetable.
Not to mention that this pillowcase is really popular, Liu Junhao has sold seven of them in just a few days, and the steadily 200 yuan has fallen into his pocket.
Although this amount of money is not comparable to the income he earns from selling eels, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. In addition, Zhang Qian is very interested in opening a store online, so he enjoys it and weaving pillowcases.
Shortly after I turned on the computer, someone sent me a message. Liu Junhao originally thought it was just a general purchase information, but he didn't expect it to be a request.
This netizen who only loves Sydney came up and said that the pillowcase was very distinctive, and then asked if this thing was compiled by him. Although Liu Junhao didn't know what this person was selling, he still answered patiently and meticulously.
"That's right. I like this pillowcase very much. Can I change it with other patterns? I mean the pattern I specified." I only made my request in the end.
"You mean you design the patterns yourself, and then I will knit them before selling them to you?" Liu Junhao asked.
"It's just this idea. Can you do it? If you can, the price will be negotiated." Another line of words popped up on the computer.
"Let me try it, you send the pattern first." Did this person smash the scene or what to do? How could he just ask me questions? Liu Junhao kept murmured in his heart.
Soon, I only love Sydney and sent a picture. The picture is not complicated. It is just that the Chinese knot has a few big words "Dream Every Day" written on it, and a person's name is attached to it.
"No problem, of course this can be made." Liu Junhao immediately sent a message after reading it. The pattern and what he knitted before were just changing soups and not changing medicines, which was not difficult for him.
"Then I'm relieved. I'm still afraid of asking you not to do it. By the way, can you hurry up? I'm waiting to use it. The price is not a problem. Send me a message after you make it, and then I'll order to buy it." I just love Sydney started urging me again.
After closing the dialog box, Liu Junhao began to think again. It seemed that the straw weaving career was really a big achievement. Should he add one more business in the future, that is, weaving it according to the needs of customers.
When Zhang Qian came over, he said his thoughts and indeed got Zhang Qian's approval. This exquisite straw pillowcase can actually be given as a gift, such as giving it to lovers or parents.
If the name of the given person is added to the straw weaving, the meaning will be different. When a person sees "I wish you happiness every day" and "I wish xx happiness every day" it will definitely feel different.
The following sentence gives people a unique feeling, which can better reflect the gift sender's intentions, and also makes the recipient psychologically think that the gift was made for themselves.
After the two discussed, Zhang Qian started to pound on the computer, adding the message of adjusting the pattern according to the customer, and then posted it in the forum.
After sending the message, she suddenly remembered something and began to pull out the thin crust from the basket.
After several days of exercise, the pillowcase that Zhang Qian wore was no longer as scattered as before. Although there were still some clowns, at least they would not loosen when pulled with their hands.
"Let's take a break, you've learned to weave straws, don't swollen your fingers." Liu Junhao persuaded with some distress when he saw her constantly blowing her fingers.
"It's okay, it's going to be done soon. See how I knitted it. Can I give it to someone?" Zhang Qian took the pillowcase to him to show it.
"It's progress, but there's no need to give it to someone, so I'll make it up." Liu Junhao advised with caution. She also wanted to give it to someone with such an ugly pillowcase.
"No, what you do is more meaningful," Zhang Qian immediately refused, and then buried her head in pain.
Seeing her serious appearance, Liu Junhao couldn't help but guess: Is it because he wanted to give it to him?
Thinking of this, he became beautiful in his heart. He looked at the pillowcases made by Zhang Qian. The more he looked, the better he looked.
