Godly Farmer - C67
Aside from looking at the vegetable patch, Zhang Xiaoloong also warmed up the wolf cub with the Herb Growing Art every day. Although he wasn’t completely fine these few days, his two hind legs were able to exert a bit of strength, and his internal injuries were almost all healed as well. Furthermore, the hair color was even whiter and brighter than Wu Tie.
Taking advantage of Zhang Xiaoloong’s inattentiveness, the little guy sneakily moved to the side of the vegetable patch, stuck his head out and secretly nibbled on a mouthful of the vegetable shoots. He started chomping on them, not even caring about the dirt on them.
This made Zhang Xiaoloong smile. He walked up and knocked on the wolf cub’s head: “I haven’t even had a taste of this new dish. I let you taste it, little scoundrel. Is it good?”
The wolf cub whined and rubbed his head against Zhang Xiaoloong, afraid that the other party would blame him. Then, he stuck out his tongue. He raised his head and licked his lips as he ‘smiled’ with his mouth wide open in a fawning manner.
No one had ever seen a wolf laugh, but Zhang Xiaoloong felt that this little thing was just laughing.
He forcefully rubbed two of them on its head, but he didn’t blame it. Instead, he felt that this was more of a reflection of the taste of his dishes.
As the saying goes, a wolf travels the world to eat meat, a dish that can lead a wolf to become a vegetarian. No one would believe it if you said it wasn’t good!
It was normal for the Herb Growing Art to be used, but Great God Shen Nong’s unique God Power was created specifically to cure all kinds of diseases. With the nourishment of the Herb Growing Art, eating these vegetables was normal, it would only be abnormal if they didn’t taste good.
However, Zhang Xiaoloong suddenly thought of a problem. Right now, he only had an acre of land and could use the Herb Growing Art once every day, but what would he do if it turned into 10 Acre 100 Acre, or even 1000 Acre.
Even if the Herb Growing Art could be cultivated, the divine power would also slowly grow. In the end, it would not be as extravagant as it was now.
Even if he had that many divine powers that he could fulfill this requirement of, the dishes would still be out of his reach. No matter how good the dishes were, they would still not be able to escape from the traditional ways of farmers.
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaoloong decided that from now on, he would not use Herb Growing Art on these dishes anymore. Instead, he would use ordinary vegetable management methods to manage this fine and even divine dish.
As for how to manage it, he definitely needed to learn some modern management techniques. In addition to that, he had also inherited the teachings of the Divine Farmer. The two of them together would achieve the most perfect results.
China was a huge country with a history of five thousand years. When talking about this, many of the Chinese descendants felt proud of the wisdom of the ancient people.
It is undeniable that the crystallization of the wisdom of many of the ancients, even with the most advanced technology of modern times, could not be perfectly replicated, making us, descendants, both ashamed and proud.
However, at the same time, there were many methods that were unsuitable for modern usage, even if they were the inheritances of Shennong.
As the successor of Shennong, Zhang Xiaoloong felt that he should have inherited the great spirit rather than trying to replicate the agricultural model. If that’s the case, then it would be a setback instead of improvement.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Although the vegetables lost the nourishment of the Herb Growing Art, they still grew very fast under Zhang Xiaoloong’s careful care.
Generally, the maturity of a vegetable range from twenty-something days to a few months, and most of the time, it would take a long time to grow fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes. Zhang Xiaoloong had limited space and wanted to collect the vegetables as soon as possible, so he didn’t grow many fruits and vegetables.
But even so, these vegetables shouldn’t have reached maturity yet. However, Zhang Xiaoloong discovered that these vegetables might be faster than the growth rate of vegetables that he knew. Every one of them was more than twice as fast.
The cabbages he grew on the ground had basically matured. As for the other vegetables, they would be ready to be sold in a few days.
What made Zhang Xiaoloong curious was that during the process of growing these dishes, no insect pests were found.
Since he wanted to walk the path of pollution-free vegetables, he naturally couldn’t use fertilizer or pesticides. However, he didn’t worry Zhang Xiaoloong at all along the way, as if the bugs were not interested in the vegetables.
At first, Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t understand, but when his family talked about the insect-resistant cotton, he suddenly understood. This was the reason why the seed mutated!
Ordinary cotton had to be drugged once every three days, otherwise the bugs would be able to eat half of the flower bud and peach while the improved anti-insect cotton would not need to be injected with medicine nor would they have to worry about the main insect pests.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoloong’s vegetable seeds were different from the improvement of the insect-resistant cotton.
It should be said that these vegetable seeds evolved more perfectly under the nurturing of the Herb Growing Art. Because of this, the insect pests that could have been considered natural enemies in the natural world were no longer a threat to them.
However … Zhang Xiaoloong was thinking about something. There were checks and balances in the laws of nature. Vegetables without a natural enemy like this, if there wasn’t some hidden balance, then there must be some hidden flaw. Where is this flaw?
Cha cha-cha …
Zhang Xiaoloong was attracted by the sound and turned around, only to find that the wolf cub was harming the vegetables again.
His eyes lit up. Haha, it turns out that there are no hidden flaws, but rather a hidden predator!
These dishes were frequently harassed by the wolf cub as they grew up. Even a pure-blooded carnivore like the wolf cub had been turned into a staunch vegetarian by this vegetable patch.
If the dish was too delicious and had no insect pests or diseases, it would attract some natural enemies that had never been there before. For example, the Little Wolf, a large animal that did not eat vegetables, would also come to nibble on the vegetables.
Luckily, they were inside the greenhouse. If they were outside, who knew how many wild animals they would attract?
“I didn’t expect to have to thank you!” Zhang Xiaoloong patted the wolf cub’s head.
If not for the timely appearance of the natural enemy, the wolf cub, it might have led to other hidden flaws, and even more so to diseases that he could not have predicted. This was the restriction of nature on the perfect.
The wolf cub opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. The boss once again put on a smirk.
After understanding all of this, Zhang Xiaoloong found a bag and picked some ripe cabbage.
The dishes would soon be ready for sale, but he had yet to find a way out.
As a manager, he was also inexperienced. If he were to make several acres of several hundred mu of land and wait for the dishes to come down before finding a place to sell them, he would probably rot on the ground.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoloong only focused on management. He never would have thought that the dishes would grow so quickly.
And in his subconscious, finding a buyer wasn’t even the right thing to do.
After dusting off the leaves, Zhang Xiaoloong imitated the cub and took a bite.
“Oh my god, I haven’t seen you in a few days. Your dishes have already grown so much?” Lee Xiulian stood at the door of the greenhouse, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
When the harvest season came, it all depended on whether it was a surprise or a shock!
