BXBX NOVEL Chapter 500 - 500: Learning About Farming
“Gu Qingming, what is this?”
When Mei Zhilin brought Wei Jianhang to the greenhouse plantation, she saw Gu Qingming plucking some seedlings and was very curious.
Gu Qingming said, “Chili seedlings!”
“Ha, are these chili seedlings?”
Forgive them for being inexperienced and not having seen chili seedlings for themselves!
Mei Zhilin asked in confusion, “Are these chili seedling? I thought these were weeds.”
With that, she looked around and said in confusion, “These seedlings look so similar to weeds that I can’t tell them apart at all! Gu Qingming, were you able to tell them apart at the beginning?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Hehe. In the beginning, I couldn’t tell. Some crops really look like weeds! However, 1 have experience now. Under normal circumstances, I won’t get it wrong!”
Mei Zhilin watched as Gu Qingming planted the chili seedlings and asked curiously, “Gu Qingming, why are you planting seedlings now? 1 saw in a book that when everything revives and grows in spring, it’s the best season to plant them! Shouldn’t some of your rice and watermelons be planted in spring?”
Gu Qingming nodded and said with a smile, “1 used to think so too. These crops were planted in the spring! Later, 1 found out that many crops can be planted in the spring and in autumn!”
“All, autumn planting? Isn’t autumn harvesting season?” Wei Jianhang was also puzzled. “It’s difficult for the autumn sun and rain to meet the crop requirements. Can it survive? Will there be any harvest? What season is this harvest? It can’t be winter, right?”
Wei Jianhang had also turned into a curious baby!
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Not all crops can be planted for two seasons! Generally speaking, things with a growth cycle of more than a hundred days, such as rice, peanuts, and chili peppers, can basically be planted for two seasons! The crops planted in autumn are commonly known as ‘falling in autumn’ in the countryside!”
Mei Zhilin and Wei Jianhang were confused and did not understand what Gu Qingming meant!
They didn’t know how to farm. No matter how well she explained it, they couldn’t understand!
Unless they planted it for a long time like Gu Qingming, they would know better!
Wei Jianhang saw Gu Qingming shoveling out small pits and throwing the little chili seedlings into a pit!
Mei Zhilin asked curiously, “Gu Qingming, what are you doing? Why did you throw the chili seedlings into the pit? Aren’t they growing well in the fields?”
Gu Qingming said in amusement, “This is called transplanting! Just sow the seeds and plant them in the ground. When they grow to a certain extent, they have to be transplanted. By changing the environment for the crop to grow, the crop can grow better! It can better absorb nutrients and sunlight, grow stronger, and obtain greater harvests!”
Mei Zhilin and Wei Jianhang were speechless.
Gu Qingming had indeed changed!
Working in a corporation that did not require one to dabble in agriculture at all. The heir was really logical when it came to planting!
Wei Jianhang thought for a moment and asked curiously, “Gu Qingming, how long have you been farming here? When do you plan to return to the company?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I’m not going back for the time being!”
“You’re not going back?” Mei Zhilin didn’t understand. “Then when are you going back to inherit the company?”
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that this person was crazy for not inheriting a good company in such a place!
