These days, Jiang Mi has roughly counted how many trees he has planted. There are thirty-seven fruit trees alone. As for strawberries and watermelons, there are too many to count. Behind the fruit forest are large areas of strawberries, watermelons and other fruits.
Looking at the seemingly endless fruit forest, Jiang Mi just felt a headache.
Why did she plant so many trees on a whim? And because she couldn't identify the varieties of some of them, she just planted whatever she got. Now she can see two or three fruit trees of the same variety at a glance.
"Fortunately, the book says that even if they are different species, pollination can be carried out as long as the pollen from the male plant's stamens touches the female pistils. Otherwise, we would have to plant some more from scratch." Jiang Mi sighed, turned around and started to set up the workbench.
According to the information collected, there are two ways of artificial pollination. The first is to hold the stamens and bring them into contact with the pistils of each plant. This method is only suitable for cultivating and researching new plants. If this is done for large orchards, it would be exhausting. How long will she have to do this?
Another method is to collect pollen, add some other materials in proportion to make a solution, and then spray it in the orchard for pollination, which can greatly improve efficiency.
But the most difficult part for her is collecting pollen.
Not to mention anything else, just the flowers of the apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees, and plum trees are all very small, and they are crowded together in clusters. For a complete novice like her, collecting pollen is extremely difficult.
Picking up a small bottle and a pair of tweezers, Jiang Mi took a deep breath and walked towards the orchard.
Find the stamen flower of a fruit tree, carefully separate the flower buds that have not yet fully opened, and then use tweezers to pull the pollen inside into the bottle little by little. The force must be controlled well, not too much force or the stamens of the male plant will break directly, and too little force may result in insufficient pollen collection.
An hour later, Jiang Mi was still collecting pollen around the fruit tree. He was so busy that his forehead was sweating. Only a thin layer of pollen was collected in the bottle. If the bottle was not transparent, it would be almost invisible.
"Come on, come on, one layer an hour, eight hours a day. If you work hard today, you can pollinate the pistil tomorrow. Don't be anxious, stay calm, victory is in sight!" Jiang Mi kept muttering to himself while collecting pollen, using this method to hypnotize himself.
After working for three hours, her hands were already starting to feel a little out of control, but there was only a little bit in the bottle.
Jiang Mi held up the transparent bottle and looked at the shallow layer of pollen at the bottom of the bottle in silence for a long time.
"The ancients said that we should combine work and rest. We can't push ourselves too hard. We should rest for a while before continuing, otherwise our eyes will be ruined." Jiang Mi put down the bottle in his hand and turned around to lie down on the rocking chair. He then casually ordered a cup of snow-capped milk tea. The small table next to the rocking chair was filled with various snacks and spicy strips.
I rested leisurely for an hour while rocking in the rocking chair, drinking milk tea and eating snacks. When I looked at the watch, it was already noon. However, after drinking a large cup of milk tea and eating so many snacks, there was no room in my stomach.
Looking at the fruit forest, Jiang Mi sighed, stood up and continued to work.
This time I worked until after seven in the evening. My stomach started to growl and I stopped only when I was so hungry that I felt dizzy.
Looking back into the glass bottle, there was already as much pollen as the knuckle of my little finger.
It doesn't look like much, but it's enough compared to the size of the fruit trees.
In fact, according to the planting manual, not too much pollen is needed, as long as the pistil can be covered with a little bit. But after all, it was her first time, and she didn't know how much a little bit was. She could only collect as much as possible to avoid being at a loss when there was not enough pollination.
It’s a bit tiring, but it’s better than failing at the last hurdle.
After a tiring day, he had no appetite at night. Jiang Mi left the space and looked around the room. The room was still dark and no one was inside. It seemed that his brother had not come back today.
I returned to the space again, and after thinking about it, I still had no idea what to eat. Suddenly, I missed the taste of instant noodles, so I simply opened a pack of instant noodles, fried an egg with both sides golden brown, washed two small cabbages, and made a few meatballs that I liked, and finally added some prawns, clams, etc. and put everything in the pot to cook.
What you end up with is a super luxurious bowl of instant noodles with a lot of seafood.
After eating, Jiang Mi was so full that she lay down in the rocking chair, unable to move at all. Her body was very tired, and her eyes were a little tired from staring at the pistil for a long time, so she simply squinted in the rocking chair.
I fell asleep without realizing it. I don’t know how long it was before I woke up and looked at the clock. It was a little after two in the morning.
I slept for nearly six hours.
After being awake for a while, Jiang Mi no longer felt sleepy. She stood up and yawned, picked up the filter on the table next to her, put it on, and quickly left the space. But what she didn't expect was that there was someone in the room!
"Brother?" She was startled and had already raised the gun in her hand. After she saw who was in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief and released the trigger that she had almost pulled.
Jiang Xun was sitting at a candlelit table, and opposite him sat a refined man who looked to be in his early thirties, with a clean-cut appearance and wearing black-framed glasses.
He was obviously startled by the sudden appearance of Jiang Mi, and subconsciously leaned back. When he heard Jiang Mi's words, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xun who was sitting opposite him.
Jiang Mi let out a long sigh, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and sat down next to Jiang Xun. "I was shocked to see you weren't back at around seven in the afternoon."
Jiang Xun glanced at her well-dressed appearance and frowned slightly, "Didn't you sleep?"
Jiang Mi waved her hand. "I'm asleep. I was tired all day. I accidentally ate too much at dinner and wanted to lie down for a while. As a result, I accidentally fell asleep. I woke up suddenly just now and thought of coming to see you. I didn't expect you to really come back."
As she said this, she smiled and said, "This is probably what telepathy means, hahaha."
Jiang Xun didn't respond to her words. After listening to her explanation, he looked at the elegant man opposite him, nodded and introduced: "Mr. Xing, this is my sister, Jiang Mi."
Xing Shaoan had already sat up straight while the two were chatting, and had been staring at Jiang Mi, his eyes full of inquiry and an indescribable fanaticism.
After Jiang Xun finished the introduction, Xing Shaoan smiled and extended his hand, "Ms. Jiang, I have heard of your name for a long time. I guess I don't need to introduce myself. Mr. Jiang has already told me that you have been looking for me."
Jiang Mi extended his hand generously and said with a smile: "Mr. Xing, nice to meet you."
Xing Shaoan separated his hand from hers as soon as it touched hers. His behavior was very proper, but the look in his eyes became more and more strange as he looked at her. "I still don't expect Miss Jiang to be so young. But I would like to ask, was Miss Jiang's sudden appearance just now a spatial ability?" (End of this chapter)
