Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 139

      Some are as low as grass, and others as tall as trees, most of which are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.

    This is an introduction to bamboo in the “Botanical Guide”, which is what Lu Lingxi watched all night. During the meal, Yan Yue inadvertently mentioned the characteristics of bamboo, which is good toughness, good elasticity, and low density. The three of them chatted like this. Originally it was just a small talk, but Lu Lingxi had something in his mind, and when he came back, he started looking for information about Bamboo.

    In fact, there are many records about bamboo in China. The earliest bamboo was associated with the Chinese language, and then it was used in technology, architecture, tools, musical instruments and other aspects. Lu Lingxi found a lot of information, but only glanced at the irrelevant information, focusing on the development history of bamboo in architecture and tools. According to records, bamboo has a long history of being used in construction. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, skilled craftsmen used bamboo to build a palace. In the south, which is rich in bamboo, bamboo buildings are the most common houses for ordinary people, and people still live in bamboo buildings until now.

    Lu Lingxi looked at these records interestingly, and found out that some buildings in China in the 1950s actually used bamboo instead of steel bars, but the situation was special at that time, because the lack of steel was a last resort, and This approach has not been widely promoted. But this also shows from the side that bamboo really has the possibility of replacing steel.

    Closing the information, he remembered what he said to Yan Yue in the afternoon, hoping to find some plants that can replace steel. In fact, he was thinking of trees such as clams. Lu Lingxi once read in the book that there are several kinds of precious trees in nature. The wood is as hard as steel, which can be anti-corrosion, bullet-proof and anti-erosion. etc. But these kinds of trees are all precious and unusual, especially the slow growth is not easy, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion.

    In Lu Lingxi’s view, the biggest advantage of bamboo compared with them is that it grows rapidly, and it is convenient to plant and low cost. If bamboo can really replace steel after proper treatment… As long as he thinks about this possibility, he will be excited, and he can’t wait to find a few bamboos immediately. These thoughts slid back and forth in Lu Lingxi’s mind, until he fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

    The next day when he opened his eyes, Lu Lingxi’s mind was full of bamboo, so that he seemed a little absent-minded in the morning.

    At half past eight, Yan Yue came to pick up Lu Lingxi to the store on time as if he was clocking in for work. Usually Wang Shuxiu always regarded Yan Yue as air, but today she unexpectedly smiled at him. Yan Yue was a little surprised, but his face remained calm. When he saw Lu Lingxi’s slow response, he suddenly understood what Wang Shuxiu’s attitude change meant.

    As soon as the two went out, Wang Shuxiu asked Xiao Feng in a low voice behind her, “Did Xiaoxi and Yan Yue quarreled, why do you look listless?”

    Xiao Feng didn’t believe that the two would quarrel at all, so he comforted Wang Shuxiu with a smile, “How could it be, don’t worry about it.” After he finished speaking, he teased Wang Shuxiu, “Besides, it’s not good for the two to quarrel, Xiaohua. Don’t you like them together?”

    Wang Shuxiu glanced at Xiao Feng angrily, Xiao Feng shook his head with a laugh, and did not speak. Maybe it’s all mothers like this, don’t watch Wang Shuxiu shouting that she doesn’t want Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue to be together, the two really had a problem, she began to worry about whether Lu Lingxi would be unhappy, and hoped that Yan Yue could make Lu Lingxi happy , This is the so-called concern is chaos, worry about it blindly.

    Wang Shuxiu was thinking wildly at home, Yan Yue helped Lu Lingxi fasten his seat belt, and asked him with a smile, “Xiaoxi is still thinking about bamboo?”

    Lu Lingxi nodded, a little embarrassed, “Brother Yan, do you think I am whimsical?”

    “No.” Yan Yue affirmed, “Now there are relevant technologies, but we usually don’t care.”

    Like Lu Lingxi, Yan Yue also read a lot of news last night. He didn’t pay much attention to these things before, and only last night did he realize that replacing steel with bamboo was not a crazy idea of ​​him and Lu Lingxi, but a direction for the development of the international environmental protection industry. Whether it is bamboo reinforced concrete in the past or high-tech research now, relevant people have been working hard to apply it to practice. Some pavilions at the Haicheng World Expo in the past two years are the best examples.

    In particular, the focus is different, and Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue look at the data in different directions. Lu Lingxi didn’t understand the technology in Yan Yue’s mouth, but he thought that technology was only one aspect, and the most fundamental thing should be the bamboo itself.

    Yan Yue nodded in agreement, “Xiaoxi is right, the most fundamental thing is the bamboo itself.”

    “Then, Brother Yan, should we find a few suitable bamboos to try, I still have 5 points of power of nature.” In addition to returning the power of nature to the panel last time, Lu Lingxi himself had 5 points left. He has been reluctant to use it, thinking of keeping it just in case. Now it is time to use it to evolve bamboo and see what effect it will have.

    His eyes were eager, and Yan Yue couldn’t help but smile. “Okay, let’s find a few suitable bamboos to try.”

    There are many kinds of bamboo, but not all bamboos are suitable for construction. Generally speaking, the most common is the southern bamboo. Yan Yue told Xue Yongtong and asked the other party to help find some bamboos. Xue Yongtong, who received a call from Yan Yue, was a little strange. Why did Xiaoxi miss bamboo again? Although most bamboos are produced in the south and not very common in the north, it is not difficult for Xue Yongtong to find a few bamboos, and he readily agrees.

    In less than two days, Xue Yongtong found the Nanzhu Lu Lingxi wanted. He specially selected five-year-old healthy bamboos and planned to transplant them into the flowerbeds of micro-horticulture. When they received a call from Xue Yongtong, Yan Yue and An Jie were accompanying Ye Kang to find a suitable apartment outside. Ye Kang lived at Ye Cheng’s house for two days. On the first day, Er Ha was able to restrain his instincts, pretending to be innocent and well-behaved, but on the second day, Er Ha turned Ye Cheng’s house into a demolition site.

    Ye Kang didn’t dare to recall Ye Cheng’s expression when he saw the scene at home. At that time, he only felt that his back was cold, and Ye Cheng’s dark face could scare people to death. Er Ha probably also knew that he was in trouble and hid in the bathroom and refused to come out. Ye Kang wanted to go to the bathroom after cleaning up the house, but he had to go around Ye Cheng’s bedroom, and was stabbed countless times by Ye Cheng’s eye knife. Ye Cheng endured it all night with supreme perseverance, and the next morning, he packed Ye Kang with Er Ha and drove him out.

    Ye Kang was quite gloating when he talked about this incident, and he even showed Yan Yue Anjie two of the live photos he took. Those who are familiar with Ye Cheng know that in addition to being rude, he also has a slight obsession with cleanliness. Thinking of the tragic situation at the demolition site, it is incredible that he could hold back and drive Ye Kang and Er Ha out that night.

    “How is this apartment?” Yan Yue asked Ye Kang.

    Ye Kang went around in a circle, touched Er Ha, who followed him step by step, “What do you think Er Ha?”

    Erha looked at Ye Kang with big pure eyes, Ye Kang gave it a funny gesture, “You can pretend.” He chose to live in an apartment, and he could keep dogs here, and no matter what. No matter how Erha is tossing, someone will clean it up for him, he just needs to pay.

    “Okay, let’s go here. Next door is Anjie’s room, Erha can have another place to play.”

    An Jie’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he really didn’t want the place where he lived to become the place where Ye Kang said Erha played.

    A few people were talking and laughing when Yan Yue received a call from Xue Yongtong. On the phone, Xue Yongtong mentioned that he had transplanted the bamboo into the flowerbed and asked them when they would visit.

    “So fast!”

    Xue Yongtong laughed, “Xiaoxi’s affairs naturally have to be taken care of.”

    Hang up the phone, Yan Yue plans to pick up Lu Lingxi to go to the flower garden to see, and can live directly in the flower garden at night. Before he could tell Lu Lingxi, Ye Kang was eager to go with him. Yan Yue was helpless, so he simply brought An Jie with him to join in the fun.

    Because they had to rush back to the city at night, they went out after lunch, and it was less than two o’clock when they arrived at the flower garden. Compared with Fengcheng District, the environmental changes in Lingshui Village are more obvious. Before Ye Kang entered the village, the first thing he saw was the big willow tree rooted at the entrance of the village. Looking from the road along the way, the big willow tree is towering and majestic, with luxuriant branches and leaves, the wicker will hang down, and thousands of green ribbons are swaying in the wind.

    Ye Kang was taken aback. When he came to the flowerbed last year, the big willow tree was not so tall. In just over half a year, the big willow tree seemed to be raised by two or three meters.

    “I remember you saying this willow was struck by lightning once?”

    “What?”

    Ye Kang joked, “I suspect that it was struck by lightning as a calamity.”

    Yan Yue glanced at him speechlessly, Ye Kang laughed.

    Ye Kang is obviously more interested in the big willow than the newly transplanted bamboo. As soon as I got out of the car, I greeted Erha to go to see around the big willow tree. Anjie has come to Lingshui Village many times, and he is not as sensitive to the changes of the big willow tree as Ye Kang, but he was curious about what Ye Kang said, and followed him to the vicinity of the big willow tree.

    Both of them know the door, and they don’t have to worry about finding their way back. Yan Yue left them outside with confidence, and went to see the transplanted bamboo plants with Lu Lingxi. Nanzhu does not have high requirements on the soil, as long as it is fertile, moist, and has good drainage and air permeability. The soil for micro gardening has been purified, which almost meets all the requirements for the growth of Nanzhu.

    When the two passed by, Uncle Li was curiously looking at the few lonely bamboos. For this southern plant, Uncle Li has seen it once in the Fengcheng Botanical Garden a few years ago. He smiled and asked Lu Lingxi, “Xiaoxi wants to eat bamboo shoots?” Otherwise, he couldn’t think of the reason why Lu Lingxi would transplant so many bamboos.

    Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed to hear it, and didn’t know the real reason or the desire to eat bamboo shoots, which would be more funny. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Mr. Li thought he had guessed Lu Lingxi’s mind. The little baby was thin-skinned, and he laughed and made a round.

    Uncle Li read it for a while and then went to work on other things. Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel, and the information of Nanzhu appeared on it.

    Plant Name: Phyllostachys edulis

    Plant Requirements: None

    Plant Viability: High

    Generally, newly transplanted plants need a process of adaptation. The survival rate of Nanzhu shows that it is obviously very adaptable to the environment here. Lu Lingxi looked at the panel, thinking about what to do next. According to his experience, plants that meet the evolutionary conditions will show their current state, while Nanzhu obviously does not meet the evolutionary conditions at present, and it can only consume 5 points of force of nature to make it evolve. The problem is that he made a mistake last time to evolve Rubescensus, and he couldn’t find any hints to choose the evolution of Nanzhu on the panel.

     Thoughts flashed, a line of green text appeared on the panel.

    Receiving the host’s spiritual command, does it consume five points of natural power to start evolution?

    Lu Lingxi was stunned, and decisively chose yes.
