My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 730

Chapter 730 Little Surprises and Little Troubles

It turns out that nature is much more wonderful than people imagine.

As a terrestrial plant, moss is very tenacious, but it is certainly not an easy task to allow it to grow in water.

Chen Ling used spiritual water to induce birth and soak it, which was absolutely fine.

But in a tank, there will not only be moss scenery, but also other aquatic plants.

Aquatic plants are very aggressive in competing for fertilizers. Once they adapt to the environment, they will grow extremely ferociously.

By then there will be no living space for the moss. The aquatic plants will block the moss and no moss can be seen in the tank. This will lose the meaning of moss landscaping.

In addition, after moss is transferred to water, it needs both fertility and new water, which is a relatively difficult category to maintain.

It's better to just play with moss tanks and moss bottles.

It's small, and it's quite pleasing to the eye when placed on the table.

So, Chen Ling was really unsuccessful in playing with moss before.

Of course, there were too many things that he could play with, so he didn't focus enough to experiment a few more times, then threw them aside and never cared about them again.

Unexpectedly, the young apprentice accidentally discovered a simple way to successfully turn moss into water.

This method cannot be said to be simple.

It can only be said to be a “borrowing doctrine”.

It is the moss that has been soaked in water and is still growing well by the waterside such as creeks and rivers outside. This is equivalent to pure wild moss that has completed the water transfer in its natural state.

Shen Jiayi tried it secretly, and after bringing it back, it was able to grow well.

Of course, this is a very good plant, and you have to respect the growth habits of moss.

That is to say, after harvesting, it should be placed in a dark corner with little light. Otherwise, like when the water is not transferred, the light will be strong and the growth will be very slow. It will also turn yellow quickly and become unsightly.

It can be said that it has changed from a small negative plant to a small negative water plant.

“No wonder Jiajia placed all these bottles in this corner, and even placed them behind the flower pots.”

Chen Ling muttered, but with a smile on his face.

The little apprentice really gave him a big surprise this time.

It also made his mind active.

Now that moss can be 'grown' in the wild, you can harvest it and plant it yourself.

So, medical maggots can also be thrown into the cave in this way. For example, in that desert area, there is nothing, and some flies can be isolated there.

They are not given anything else, just plant some flowers and plants and force them to collect pollen to survive.

There will definitely be a group of unfit people among them.

But as long as there are those that adapt and reproduce, then the second generation will be considered to be initially 'settled'.

Mutation of honey-gathering flies.

However, this nectar-collecting fly still needs to continue to undergo gene purification and mutation...

Chen Ling thought about it, and his thoughts continued to spread out.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this idea is very feasible.

Chen Ling picked up the umbrella and strode out. When he went out, he turned up the mountain behind and entered the cave.

Flies are not easy to find this season.

Chen Ling was not in a hurry to do anything else after entering the cave. He just came to the newly opened desert area.

Create a 'test field'.

Spurred on a large field of flowers and plants.

When the weather clears, go to Wang Lixian's shed to see if there are any flies.

He remembered that last year, every time there was a sunny day, when Wang Lixian pulled up the thatch to dry the greenhouse, a layer of flies would fall on the plastic sheet inside the greenhouse.

I don't know if there will be any more this year.

“The flowers have been planted, let's go see the fish. Besides, it's been a long time since I've eaten the spiritual fish from the cave.”

Chen Ling glanced at the flower fields on the edge of the desert and ducked to the lake.

By coincidence, as soon as he arrived here, there was a huge black shadow in the big lake. He was startled by his sudden appearance. It shook suddenly and splashed a huge vortex on the surface of the water.

Chen Ling was also splashed with water.

He wiped his face and felt happy: "You have been wandering in front of me for a while, but you still want to run. Can you run?"

With a wave of his hand, this huge black shadow appeared on the water.

The whole body is smooth, hard, scaleless, and gray. At first glance, you might think it is a shark.

This is naturally the sturgeon that Chen Ling put in.

“Sure enough, when I grow up, I will look like the water monster in the reservoir.”

Chen Ling let the big sturgeon float. The sturgeon, which was about 1.5 meters long, was plump and fat. There was panic and fear in the fish's eyes, but it couldn't break free.

But just looking at the appearance, it already has the aura of a giant thing in the water.

"It's already two meters long. I can't let you grow any longer. It's time for you guys to serve."

Chen Ling gently stroked the body of the sturgeon with his hand and smiled gently.

The sturgeons are kept in the cave. Although it doesn't matter if they grow bigger, Chen Ling still doesn't want them to grow too big.

Mainly because this thing is too harmful to small fish, shrimps and fry.

The sturgeon looks like a big guy, which is quite intimidating. In fact, their menu is still based on benthic animals, small fish and shrimps in the water.

It doesn't mean that if you are big and have a big appetite, you just catch big fish to eat.

But as they grow bigger and bigger, no matter how fast the fish and shrimps in Dongtian reproduce, they will not be able to feed them, and they will soon eat them all.

"The water area in Dongtian is also a bit small. I will expand the water area next year. Although Dongtian is magical, I don't need to consider circulation. If I want to grow the fish to a look that I am satisfied with, it is not enough to have only one big lake. I must try my best. Form a river system and try to circulate the water.”

Chen Ling thought to himself and tried the weight of the sturgeon in front of him.

The body length is about 1.5 meters and weighs about 120 kilograms. The figure is neither fat nor thin, so it is relatively well-proportioned.

“Tsk, I'm still a little thinner. If I could raise the koi to such a long length, I'd probably gain more than 200 kilograms of weight.”

Carp in rivers in the wild are more than one meter long, and can grow to more than 100 kilograms.

Leave it alone for domesticated koi, which can easily exceed this number.

Thinking of koi, Chen Ling wanted to go to the lotus pond to see how the ornamental fish were doing.

　　Waving the sturgeon that had been identified as food, let it float to the thatched house.

I walked slowly to the stone bridge and leaned over to observe the fish in the lotus pond.

Speaking of which, Chen Ling hasn't looked carefully at the fish he released for more than half a year.

Come over and take a look now, and you will be shocked.

I saw groups of colorful fish floating and swimming on the clear water below the stone bridge. The large and small fish were densely packed, as if the entire water surface was covered.

No matter which direction you look, you can see fish everywhere, all kinds of fish, big and small.

Some small fish are only half a finger long, and their bodies are already colored. They swim in groups behind the big fish, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

Chen Ling looked at it and was dumbfounded: "Damn, what a fairy-like lotus pond, but you turned it into a fish pond."

With such a huge number of fish, there is no need to mention watching them.

Chen Ling felt like feeding pigs after seeing it.

He endured the feeling of dizziness and took a closer look. He waved his hand to get a bucket, filled a few of them, and checked the condition. Fortunately, the quantity was just too much, and the condition was still very good.

“Fortunately, the time is short, otherwise I would have wasted such a good resource if it had degenerated into wild fish.”

The pure wild environment is left alone for a long time.

Ornamental fish will gradually degenerate. After three generations of reproduction in the outside world, they will degenerate into wild fish, such as good goldfish, and finally completely become crucian carp.

Although the cave environment is good, it is also a purely wild environment.

Even though the cave is magical, with so many species of fish mixed together and constantly interbreeding, it is impossible to say that there is no risk of degradation at all.

“I'll have to go out a little bit next year, this is too much.”

Chen Ling frowned: "There are so many letters asking for puppies now, it would be great if they all came to buy fish."

Unfortunately, for most people, spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a dog is okay, but they can't bear to buy fish.

“Well, even if fish is included in the cartoon, not many people would be willing to buy it.”

"Arowana is becoming more and more popular now. I'd better raise my arowana and ask Lao Du and the others to take advantage of the east wind of the arowana to deal with it."

Chen Ling thought about it and walked around the stone bridge and lotus pond. In the small garden next to the stone pavilion, bees were still busy flying in and out.

Chen Ling found another swarm of poisonous wasps mutated in the cracks in the rocks in the corner.

He hasn't figured out how to use the poisonous bee yet.

He couldn't tell whether the poison was strong or weak.

At present, the only thing I can think of is to use it to make wine.

He briefly cleaned up the garden, letting the messy fallen leaves rot as soon as possible, and dealing with some messy branches and leaves that blocked the path, making the garden clean and tidy again.

He returned to the thatched house again.

Just as he was about to take the sturgeon out to kill it, Chen Ling suddenly discovered that a new species of fish appeared in the ditch around the thatched house.

In addition to red eels, there were also several white catfish and golden catfish.

To be honest, fish such as catfish and loach are prone to mutation, mainly because they eat everything.

Eating too much dirty food will lead to mutations.

However, the catfish here in Chenling are mainly mountain catfish, and their ornamental quality is slightly better than the catfish in Hegouzi.

Some shrimps also change color. Some river shrimps turn red, and some turn deep black.

Some crayfish also turn into golden red and blue colors.

“I've seen too many fishes, but the mutated shrimps are still better-looking.”

Chen Ling was so happy to see that he was hunting, he squatted by the ditch and fished out a few crayfish. The back shell turned blue, and there were even tiny stars written on it, which was a bit dreamy.

“Good guy, you look so beautiful, how can I be willing to eat you in the future?”

I also fished out a few small red and white grass shrimps. The red and white sections are distributed one by one. They are also very beautiful. They look more beautiful than some ornamental fish and are more pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, okay, it seems that it is imperative to expand the water area. There is no need to wait until next year. I will start it after the greenhouse is built. I don't know how to transform such a large desert area. Now I will occupy the space and transform it into a river."

With motivation, Chen Ling has the energy. The joy of breeding lies not only in the satisfaction of increasing breeding numbers, but also in the joy of cultivating new varieties.

Even the small annoyance that there are too many ornamental fish in the cave is not worth mentioning.

At that time, it will be no problem to create a dedicated river to raise them, as long as they are willing to behave and continue to mutate stably.
