Chapter 662 657. A group of geese came to the mountain
"Oh, what a pity."

Luo Yihang was also reading the comments and made a table, filling in the information of all the poor villages participating in the lottery.

After the statistics, I felt a little disappointed.

Luo Yihang was really looking forward to the poor villages in Gansu winning the prize. After all, he had been there and had some feelings for them. This was also human nature.

Unfortunately, poor villages in Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places, or villages that have not yet escaped poverty, are all short of water.

Qiuyan No. 9 is not drought-tolerant, but rather a variety that consumes more water.

So they were simply excluded.

And participating in the lottery is suitable for poor villages that grow Qiuyan No. 9.

It's really thrilling. It's either deep mountains and plateaus or deserts and jungles. The environments are extremely harsh.

The situation is not so bad and we still haven’t escaped poverty yet.

Isn’t it amazing that it can be done in the desert?

There is actually water in the desert. There are rivers, the Tarim River, and lakes in the Taklamakan Desert.

There are also many villages in Inner Mongolia and the surrounding areas of the Kubuqi Desert participating in the lottery.

It is next to the Yellow River, right at Jiziwan of the Yellow River.

Although it is a semi-arid area, it has irrigation water from the Yellow River and there is no shortage of water for agricultural use.

But it turned into a desert.

According to records, during the Qin and Han Dynasties this place was still a vast fertile land. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, records of desertification appeared in "Shui Jing Zhu", and it was called Shasai.

In modern times, the Kubuqi Desert has become the seventh largest desert in the country.

Starting from the 1970s and 1980s, it took 30 years to control the Kubuqi Desert, covering an area of ​​more than 6,000 square kilometers, and one third of it has been eliminated.

Most of the poor villages around the Kubuqi Desert are in the areas that have been rehabilitated.

There is water, vegetation, and a thin layer of soil, which allows agricultural production. It is no longer a restricted area for humans and people can survive there.

But the difficulties are also great.

The soil layer in this area is only at the centimeter level and the soil is extremely lacking in organic matter, especially phosphorus, which can only be supplemented by dust fall.

If you really choose this place.

If Qiuyan No. 9 is planted, it will use up all the phosphorus in the soil, and the desert that has been managed with great difficulty will turn back into a desert. That would be a great sin...

Think of this.

Luo Yihang closed his computer and walked out of the office.

Go to the stage and the laboratory and find professionals.

Professor Du hasn't left yet. He is an expert when it comes to soil. He also has an apprentice, Qi Ruomu, who is working on fertilizers and how to supplement phosphorus.

In addition to deserts, there are also deep mountains in Yunnan and Guizhou and on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Anyway, the climate and everything else are suitable, and it is indeed possible to grow Qiuyan No. 9, but each has its own difficulties.

Let Professor Du and the others worry about it.

Prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard...

Luo Yihang didn't drive either, he just walked up the mountain road leisurely.

What a beautiful spring day.

The most comfortable time in Tianhan is spring, autumn and most of the summer.

The warm breeze blows gently, and the birds sing and the flowers bloom.

It's really comfortable to walk on the mountain road.

After entering the gate, Luo Yihang did not go to the laboratory, but turned left.

Because on the main road to the left, my uncle Zhang Feng brought a few kids with him, each holding a long bamboo pole and driving a large group of geese.

There was a boy who was very different from others. He had a bow in each hand and could shoot with both hands.

He was too busy with his hands and hurriedly waved the bamboo pole in his left hand to stop the goose that was running out of the group on his right side. As a result, the goose flapped its wings, sped up, jumped over the bamboo pole and ran away.

The kid hadn't yet retracted the bamboo pole when the tail hit his butt with a loud slap. It made him grimace in pain.

The escaping geese fluttered into the roadside ditch, swam happily, and turned their heads to quack at the kids, full of ridicule. These little kids were so silly and happy.

But when did our family get so many geese?

They were still half-grown goslings, and their newly grown white feathers were only a foot long.

He twisted his butt as he walked on the concrete road, making clattering noises and making a lot of noise, which gave people a headache.

Luo Yihang hurried over and asked, "Uncle, why did you bring back so many geese?"

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "The goslings are here. I just drove back a thousand little geese. They are very energetic."

There are a thousand of them?

Luo Yihang took a quick look and counted a small area. This large group of geese was crowded together, densely packed, with more than a dozen geese crammed into one square meter.

The area of ​​geese in front of me is about 100 square meters, and there are actually thousands of them.

That’s quite a lot.

Zhang Feng finally got his driving license, after studying for nearly a year. He is now addicted to the driving skill.

It is 100% certain that other people wanted to deliver it, but he didn't want to and insisted on driving to pick it up himself.

But that's not what I'm asking.

"I mean, why do you have so many geese? Where do you keep them? What are they used for?" Luo Yihang raised his voice and asked again.

"Oh, oh, about this, raise them in the mulberry forest. Raise a hundred or so in each of the ten forests. You've been busy these days, so big sister will approve the money." Zhang Feng answered in the same loud voice.

Still didn't say what it was used for.

"What is it used for? For eating meat or laying eggs?" Luo Yihang asked again.

Zhang Feng rubbed his forehead and pulled Luo Yihang away. "This guy has been yelling all morning. It gave me a headache and made me dizzy."

As he said this, he handed the bamboo pole to a child from a special school he had brought with him.

This child was much smarter. He used two bamboo poles together. If any gosling wanted to leave the group, he would use the bamboo pole to gently pull it back, lightly and slowly. The geese were all well behaved.

After they were farther away and the shouting became quieter, Zhang Feng explained to Luo Yihang.

"The mulberry trees bloomed at the beginning of the month and lasted for ten days. It wasn't cloudy or rainy during those days. Lao Guaitou said the pollination was good and the trees should bear fruit by mid-May."

"When the fruit trees on this mountain bear fruit, they attract birds all over the mountain. If we don't take care of them, people won't be able to eat a single bite, and all will be fed to the birds."

"Lao Guaitou suggested raising a group of geese under the tree. These geese are big and like to make noises, so they can drive away birds. They can also clean up the weeds on the ground and catch insects in the soil. Their pee can also fertilize the soil."

That’s what it means.

Lao Guaitou is the person invited to manage the orchard on a daily basis. As to why he is called Lao Guaitou, I don’t know, but he is quite nimble.

Maybe it’s a strange nickname given by the older generation using some unknown dialect.

The old master is really an old master. The idea he came up with can not only drive away birds, eat insects, but also fertilize the fields.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Add to that the goose, look at its fat butt and big wings, it has been raised under the fruit tree for more than half a year, the meat must be firm.

In winter, they would slaughter the meat and stew it in a firewood pot. Potatoes, radishes, cabbages and tofu would be cut into large pieces and put into the pot, and the pot would bubble.

After stewing for several hours, the meat is tender and the tofu and cabbage are soaked up with the soup.

You don't have to go to the table, just stand by the pot.

You can just hold the big wings and goose legs and eat them directly. The potatoes and cabbage are soft and fresh. Have a glass of wine to build up your energy.

After finishing the vegetables and meat, add the noodles into the soup base.

Ouch.

It’s so beautiful just thinking about it.

Luo Yihang licked his lips and looked at the group of geese. The more he looked, the more he loved them.

They are all good treasures. They are guarded first and then put into the soup pot. Nothing is wasted...
