Chapter 280 Tasting the sweetness of winter (please give me a monthly ticket!)
Guo Yang admitted that his move was a bit naive. Farming is a romantic thing but his idea today, maybe it won’t be tomorrow.
But people always want to do something interesting.
He didn't have any thoughts about Xu Xiaoxue, he just simply thought of such a flower variety.
Hydrangea has a long history of cultivation in my country, and Guo Yang is also very familiar with it. In his previous life, he planted several plants in his hometown yard.
The flowers are clustered in a spherical shape, and the color of the flowers can change with the pH value of the soil.
Gradates to light blue on acidic soil and light pink on weakly alkaline soil.
The soil in the northwest is mostly alkaline, and the flowers are mostly pink. If you want to bloom light blue flowers, you can add aluminum sulfate to the irrigation water to adjust the color.
If you want to turn acidic soil into powder, use ferrous sulfate to adjust the color.
It’s not too difficult.
In his previous life, Guo Yang also tried adding sulfur powder, slaked lime, plant ash, etc. to the soil. The color was mainly a strange one, which was not repeated every year.
In recent years, pure red varieties have also been cultivated in China, and flower companies in Yunnan and Zhejiang provinces are also vigorously cultivating independent varieties.
But in general, domestic hydrangea breeding started too late and is far inferior to foreign countries.
Take the "Endless Summer" series of hydrangeas that Guo Yang is most familiar with. After being launched in Europe and the United States in 2003-2004, it quickly triggered a hydrangea craze in the horticultural community.
However, it will not be officially introduced into the country until 2012, and the translation of Endless Summer is even more blank.
Guo Yang casually spent 1 point of natural energy to cultivate the hydrangea, which naturally took the name "Endless Summer".
The ornamental quality of the variety is also good, and it is more suitable for cold temperate climates. The roots buried in the soil will not freeze to death in winter.
However, to implement the agricultural tourism model of hydrangea + rice, just one variety is not enough. The climate in the south also has an impact.
It is too troublesome to introduce foreign varieties. It is okay to introduce domestic varieties, but it is not necessary. Natural energy is sufficient, and it is more convenient to cultivate two or three varieties.
Hydrangeas can also be propagated very quickly, using stem tips, cuttings, grafting and other methods.
Hydrangea + rice is a model created by the little devils. Hydrangeas are planted on the field ridges and rice is grown in the rice fields. It can not only attract tourists, but also produce food.
It is a very good idea for the construction of beautiful countryside, which has triggered many regions to imitate it. Guo Yang felt that it was necessary to bring it to the country in advance.
Just do it. Once you have done it, you must follow the path to the end.
Soon Guo Yang cultivated three more Endless Summer series varieties, consuming a total of 64 points of natural energy.
2281 points left.
And there is an unexpected surprise among the cultivated varieties. The ethyl acetate extract of one of the flowers has excellent herbicidal activity.
This allows Quanwang Biotech to develop plant-based herbicides.
This is undoubtedly a new idea.
With the new variety, Guo Yang immediately went to Tianhe Laboratory. When he returned to the office, Gaode called again.
The public opinion generated by "Seed Weekly", "Farmers Daily" and "Huaxia Business News" is very powerful.
There has been a great discussion about bioenergy in society.
One group of people supports the country's development of bioenergy, believing that our country is short of fossil energy and may face an energy crisis at any time.
The other faction rebutted around food security, citing the tragic situations in various countries, and aroused the sympathy of most people.
The latter gradually gained the upper hand.
This has caused domestic grain prices to rise further. The current price of rice is close to 0.8 yuan/jin, and the price of corn has also reached a high of 0.72 yuan/catty.
Just from this fluctuation, Jiahe Cereals and Oils made a profit of several hundred million yuan.
Guo Yang still asked Amap to increase his long position, and the current safety margin is still very high.
After a while, Qu Yang also came to the office, extremely puzzled.
"Boss, did you offend that female reporter last time? How could this "Seed Weekly" lift the lid on Tianhe!"
"Is Tianyu No. 1 affected?"
"Denghai, Shazhou, Kenfeng, Longping are also focusing on promoting variety diversity, and some professional cooperatives are already considering decentralized layout."
Guo Yang said: "Even if it is decentralized, it will definitely It’s also based on Tianyu No. 1.”
“That’s the reason.” Qu Yang said depressedly, “I’m just curious, boss, what did you say to the female reporter?”
"I taught her how to do this."
Qu Yang's eyes widened, it turned out that the boss was the traitor!
Guo Yang explained again, "Cooperate with Jiahe Grain and Oil's plan."
"Understood." Qu Yang also knew some details and didn't ask any more questions. "Tianhe will have no problem completing its goal of 200 million acres this year."
The impact is definitely there, but it may not be as big as outsiders imagine.
The yield advantage of Tianyu No. 1 is so obvious that most farmers cannot resist this temptation.
It can be seen from the busy situation of Tianhe Seed Processing Factory that except for maintenance, the production line has been running continuously.
The shipping speed of corn, wheat, and vegetable seeds is also very fast.
Guo Yang remembered something.
“By the way, how are the fruit tree nurseries going?”
“The nurseries in Xinjiang Province and Hainan have been built. Banana seedlings will emerge in the spring, and others will not emerge until this fall. Seedlings emerge."
Qu Yang hesitated and asked, "Should we build our own orchard?"
"Yes." Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "But the scale should not be too large. A garden of two to three thousand acres is the best to manage."
Two to three thousand acres, even if you invest 10,000 per acre, It’s only 20 to 30 million yuan, and four gardens are only 100 million yuan, which is very easy for Tianhe.
"Okay, I'll find someone to make plans."
Guo Yang is very satisfied with Qu Yang's initiative. Strictly speaking, this kind of business should belong to Jiahe Fresh's supply chain.
Subsequently, Guo Yang also asked Ning Xiaojing to assist in this matter and asked her to follow up on matters related to leprosy fruit and gallbladder fruit for a long time.
Things are complicated.
The main reason is that there are too many areas involved.
In addition to Ning Xiaojing's help in organizing, Guo Yang has also become accustomed to writing everything by hand in a notebook and reading it at any time to avoid missing anything.
On my notes, there are two things that have been delayed for a long time.
One is to go to Europe to see Fran and Victor.
Second, in addition to Asia-Pacific, the regional leaders for South America and North America have not yet been decided. The seed company has been established and has spent money to support a small team.
After thinking about it, I can leave this matter to Qu Yang and Pu Fei first, and he will make the final decision.
After I almost had a solution to the matter, it was time to get off work.
After walking around the office twice, Guo Yang sat down in front of the computer with kenaf tea and logged into the Happy Farm website.
As a result, there were only a few solitary cabbages in the vegetable field.
"Damn it, it was robbed. Where is my dog? Oh, he is already dying of hunger."
Guo Yang was angry for a while, then he smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect that the game was still there. During the closed beta, some people were thinking about his food.
I harvested the remaining vegetables first and sowed new seeds. The illusory tree has only lit up one leaf so far, and it is still very early to take shape.
“I want to see who steals my food.”
Click on the message bar.
Take a look.
As expected, Luo Xiu and Xu Xiaoxue were both the culprits.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Yang also went to Luo Xiu's farm to cause some trouble, but when he went to steal Xu Xiaoxue's vegetables, a reminder came.
“You were targeted by a dog.”
“You failed to steal vegetables and you were bitten by a dog.”
"Okay, really okay." Guo Yang smiled helplessly. It seemed that Xu Xiaoxue was playing at any time, and the dog food was still full.
Guo Yang was not depressed after failing to steal vegetables. He stopped caring about watering, fertilizing, and weeding.
Instead, I paid attention to the popularity on the Internet.
After Farmers Daily recommended Happy Farm, the game has gained a lot of attention, but the game has not yet been officially launched and is currently still in a closed beta version.
But it’s coming soon. In the past few days, Happy Farm has been ready for the announcement.
Originally, Guo Yang wanted to discuss cooperation with President Xiao Ma, but now he had no intention of doing so.
Tencent is hungry for profit at this time. Once the farm is bound to Tencent, various fees will inevitably be charged, and the public welfare nature will be greatly reduced.
Guo Yang has never thought about making money from games.
Planting more trees is the right thing to do.
Also observe whether the seed store can obtain natural energy in this way.
After sorting out a few opinions and sending them to Lu Hanbin, Guo Yang prepared to get off work.
But then Yang Cheng called again.
Apple held a software developers conference and launched the world's first smartphone, which will be officially launched in July.
Apple’s stock price also surged in response!
In Yang Cheng's excited and trembling compliments, the boss once again hit Bao right.
This kind of increase will be the norm in the future.
Guo Yang touched the Nokia in his trouser bag. Speaking of which, the Internet is obviously booming, and the mobile terminal seems to be visible. The development of the times is really fast.
The next day.
After sorting out his current work again and visiting several important occasions, Guo Yang was ready to return to his hometown.
In addition to Luo Xiu, Lu Hanbin and his assistants are also going back to Minqin.
Guo Yang patted Lu Hanbin's car and said, "Stay this car here. Drive mine back. You can buy a new one when you go back. You don't need a pickup truck."
Lu Hanbin wiped the glass. The water mist on the car was still a bit reluctant to leave, "What should I do with this car? It has only been driven for four years."
"You can still use it if you leave it here in Jiuquan." Guo Yang said: "Don't leave the ink marks. , quickly packed up, Luo Xiu drove over. "
After packing their luggage, the four people in the car drove off.
The reason why we drove was that there was no airport in Minqin, and we also wanted to temporarily raid the bases and factories along the way.
The first stop was Zhangye.
Most of the seed production bases of Tianhe Seed Industry are located here, and the base has entered the winter slack period at this time.
Large tracts of land are deserted.
But even so, when passing by the seed production base in Gaotai, Guo Yang kept staring out the window.
Lu Hanbin asked doubtfully: “Boss, these fields are all idle, what’s there to see?”
"That's because you don't understand and can't see the way out." Guo Yang pointed to two seed-making fields in the distance that were connected by a canal, "Can you see the difference?"
Lu Hanbin looked and looked, "No. "
"Is the area on the left cleaner?" Guo Yang took out his mobile phone, "Luo Xiu, drive slowly, let me take a photo."
"It seems like, what's the matter? The impact."
"The impact is huge," Guo Yang said: "Gaotai has been a seed production base for many years, some of which have been in operation for 10 years. A lot of pathogenic bacteria have accumulated, and the pests and diseases have become increasingly serious. .”
“According to Tianhe’s technical plan, after the autumn harvest, farmers need to promptly organize farmers to clean up the straw, bury it deeply or burn it intensively, mechanically crush the stubble and plow it deeply, harrow the land and then irrigate it in winter, plow and harrow it lightly before sowing in the following spring, and lay it down with film. "The field on the left has obviously been completed as required, but the field on the right has only been cleared of straw and not deeply plowed. The insect eggs in the soil will not freeze to death at all."
While talking. , Guo Yang had already taken the photos and sent them to Yan Qun individually.
It’s just that the photo was too small, so Guo Yang also edited a separate text and sent it.
Yan Qun quickly replied to the message.
Lu Hanbin and his assistant Chen Yihang also noticed what their boss said.
"This... you really can't tell if you don't pay attention."
Guo Yang said: "Details determine success or failure. Now all parties are focusing on the weaknesses of Tianyu 1 and attacking. You must keep a close eye."
Lu Hanbin felt awe-inspiring.
In fact, it is not just diseases. Guo Yang also noticed that the soil in seed production fields after long-term continuous cropping also has a tendency to become salinized, and the soil nutrients are definitely insufficient.
Corn is a relatively resistant crop to continuous cropping. Even if it is planted continuously for 10 years, it can still achieve no loss in yield by relying on water, fertilizer, and pest and disease management.
But the damage to the soil is great.
Climate conditions determine that corn can only be grown in seed fields for one season. If crop rotation is required, farmers' income will drop significantly.
Both localities and farmers cannot accept it.
Fortunately, Jinta has 200,000 acres more seed production fields plowed by Alfalfa No. 1 this year, and the soil fertility and nutrients have reached their peak.
This year will surely bring surprises in production.
Along the way from Gaotai to Linze to Ganzhou, Guo Yang took the trouble to observe the situation of the seed production base.
I also met a seed farmer by chance and learned that they were from Tianhe Seed Industry. I enthusiastically added boiling water and kept saying:
"In the past two years, only Tianhe has Those who can pay off their seed production expenses before the end of the year also have the highest insurance premium per mu.”
I went to rest near the Zhangye branch at noon, had a meal with Yin Xiaobing, the head of the branch, and visited the factory.
Also extremely busy.
According to Yang Xiaobing, we dare not stop work during the Spring Festival because seeds are shipped too fast and there is no reserve.
After the Spring Festival, it is the peak period again, and I dare not delay for a moment...
Guo Yang naturally encouraged that three times the salary is not a problem, and the holiday condolences should be arranged.
Originally I wanted to visit Shandanjun Horse Farm. It has a long history of growing alfalfa and is now one of its partners.
But there was a detour and the schedule was very tight, so I had to give up.
Walking around, I took a detour from Yongchang to Jinchang to observe the development of the local vegetable and pasture industries.
This area belongs to the Qilian Mountain snowmelt spring water irrigation area. The water source is clear and pollution-free, and the vegetables grown are of good quality. This season, most of them are greenhouses.
Tianjiao No. 1, Chihong No. 1, Super Red Core, Cauliflower, Tianshu 21, Cai Xin and other varieties are well marketed here.
In many greenhouses targeting the Spring Festival market, spicy bell peppers are already hanging on the branches, and the cabbage hearts are green and eager to be on the human dining table.
Then Guo Yang and his party went to Jinchang City to prepare a warm pot meal.
Take a bite of mutton, eat a piece of radish, and drink a sip of broth. Warmth fills your whole body.
Two days after setting off from Jiuquan, it was already early February, and there were only fifteen or six days before the Spring Festival.
Guo Yang and his party just set off from Jinchang to Minqin, and the desolate scene along the road slowly increased.
Lu Hanbin asked with a smile: "Boss, do you want to take a detour from Hongyashan Reservoir?"
"Okay, you don't have to run back and forth then." Seeing that Lu Hanbin was very confident, Guo Yang asked again: "The environment of the reservoir has improved?"
"It's okay."
"That's very good. ”
With anticipation, I don’t know how long it took before the Hongyashan Reservoir arrived.
In the middle of winter, migratory birds gather here, covered with ice and snow, and the pine, cypress and lilac trees on the top of the mountain are swaying, as pure and beautiful as a fairy tale.
Guo Yang couldn't describe this feeling for a while. Every time he came here, there would be huge changes.
When I came here for the first time more than three years ago, what I saw was a dry bed surface that looked like a spider web. Only in the center could I see black sewage and dead fish floating on the water.
When I came last time, there was already water in the reservoir, and the waves were sparkling, but it was not as moving as this time.
Guo Yang praised: "Well done!"
Lu Hanbin smiled and said: "It costs money to transfer so much water every year. If we can't keep it, the money will be wasted."< br>
The off-road vehicle circled around the perimeter, and the middle of the Tengger Desert and Badain Jaran Desert was occupied by a large seabuckthorn and Haloxylon ammodendron forest.
There seems to be traces of kenaf along the edge of the library.
Guo Yang said: "As long as you persist, you will be able to stabilize sooner or later."
"Well, since the implementation of the water rights system, water conservation in the middle and lower reaches has improved a lot, and more water has been transferred. During the flood season, water can already flow to Qingtu Lake.”
“That’s already a great improvement!”
Guo Yang has always had an encouraging attitude towards Lu Hanbin. Life in the desert should be the most miserable under Jiahe.
Arrived in the county town, Guo Yang went to his eldest brother's house alone carrying gifts, while Luo Xiu sent Lu Hanbin and Lu Hanbin back to the company.
We haven’t seen each other for nearly a year.
The energy of the elder brother and sister-in-law has improved a lot.
As soon as he entered the door, his eldest brother Guo Shan pulled Guo Yang into the teahouse. There was also a little old man sitting here, and his sister-in-law Tian Ying was busy cooking.
"This is my brother Guo Yang. He picked this tea table for me. This is my tea friend Ning Fu."
Ning Fu stood up and said, "I have long admired your name, Mr. Guo."
"You got the name well." Guo Yang also smiled.
"Hahaha..."
"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Guo Shan said and was about to make tea. It seemed that his technique had improved again.
Ning Fu waved his hand, "No, it's time for me to go back to eat."
"Just stay here for a drink!"
"No, you two brothers just want to get together, I won't Sorry for bothering you, I’ll come back another day to discuss tea art with you.”
The little old man left without looking back, quite proud.
Guo Yang said: "Brother, is this the one who taught you tea art? He is quite a bit of a tea art master."
"Hey, he only has three skills."
Guo Yang didn't expect his eldest brother to drag him along, "It seems you are also good at craftsmanship!"
"That's right."
After chatting about the current situation for a while, the two old people have become accustomed to life in the city over the past year, and their life has become more comfortable.
No need to work in the fields.
Retirement with peace of mind.
Last time I was clamoring about going back to the countryside to find a house, but now I haven’t mentioned it at all.
After having a glass of wine at noon, the eldest brother said abruptly: "Yangzi, didn't you say you could set up a small tea garden last time? We can't grow tea here, right?"
Guo Yang He was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have mentioned this, "Minqin can't grow it. There is only one tea-producing area in Longnan, Longnan."
"Oh."
"But there is another kind of kenaf tea grown in Shahai, but it does not have tea polyphenols and other substances. It is more focused on health care and is very good for the body."
Guo Yang stood up and rummaged through his backpack. I found the kenaf tea produced in Altay that I brought with me.
"I brought it, let's try it first."
"Tea bag?" Guo Shan was a little disappointed.
“This is convenient.”
"Well, tea should be in the best shape after being fried." Guo Shan said.
Guo Shan has really changed a lot in the past year. People who don’t know may never imagine that he used to be a farmer looking for food in the saline-alkali desert.
"That's okay. It's close to Qingtu Lake. You can make tea if you want."
Guo Shan then laughed and said, "Well... you can try it if you have the chance. Will it delay things too much?”
“No, maybe it can be turned into a tourist attraction in the future!”
After spending the afternoon chatting, Guo Yang also mentioned that he was going abroad for the Spring Festival and would not be at home to celebrate the New Year. His sister-in-law Tian Ying suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yangzi, Xiaoxia's wedding is scheduled for later in the year. Aren't you going to attend?"
Guo Yang was a little stunned for a while. After a long time, he said: "Brother, sister-in-law, It may not work this time, the company's affairs are quite urgent."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
In the end, it was Guo Shan who said: "It's okay, just go about your business. Career is important, career is important."
In the evening, my niece Guo Xiaoxia also came back, and she understood that her uncle wanted to go abroad.
Guo Yang was relieved.
The next day, he met his niece's fiancé again and gave Xiaoxia a red envelope. Only then did Guo Yang escape from the family.
After getting in the car, Guo Yang was thinking, should he get one or two people from home to help at the company?
It is definitely necessary.
It's just that there is no suitable candidate yet.
The off-road vehicle went all the way down the road beside the river, and many solar greenhouses were built on the road.
The Haloxylon ammodendron tree in the desert has exposed branches and is covered with thin frost, standing silently in the cold wind. In winter, everything looks desolate and tough.
The car stopped in the immigration area. In Shahai’s greenhouse nursery and Shasha Botanical Garden, various saplings were accumulating energy.
A variety of fruits and vegetables are grown in the immigrant’s solar greenhouse.
Guo Yang met Old Man Ding again.
He held Guo Yang's hand tightly and took Guo Yang to visit his greenhouse, and then forced him to give him some fruits.
"It's very sweet. It's just right to eat ginseng fruit in this season."
Guo Yang had no choice but to take it with a smile, then gently tore open the skin, revealing the yellow flesh, and looked at it It's very tempting.
When you take a bite, the fragrant and sweet taste bursts into your mouth. It is moist and juicy. It is a rare experience in winter.
"It's delicious!" Guo Yang gave a thumbs up, "How much can this shed cost?"
"At least 7,500 yuan!" Old Man Ding smiled and laughed, "Thanks to you, now we All the melons are sold to big cities such as Beijing. ”
Including one season of vegetables, from this 2.5-acre shed, Old Man Ding can still earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year, which is still considerable.
It is also related to the excellent technology. Many farmers are far from making this amount.
But then Guo Yang learned that it was also closely related to Huinong.com and Jiahe Fresh Supermarket.
With the development of solar greenhouses, the planting area of Minqin honeydew melons has also expanded from 32,000 acres to nearly 50,000 acres, with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons of honeydews.
However, compared with last year’s 0.4 yuan/jin, the price has increased to 0.5 yuan/jin this year.
