Chapter 394 What fun can there be in growing vegetables?
“I heard from Dahai that the farm you built, Fugui, is doing well. People are starting to leave this year.”
Zhao Dahai’s father Zhao Yubao said after having a drink with Chen Ling.
“It’s gone, but it was still attracted by the big old turtle in our reservoir. It only lasted for a while, and now the people are almost gone.”
Chen Ling said.
In fact, the farm does not benefit much from these tourists. Those who have been living in the farm are the directors and actors of the film crew, and the bulk of the money comes from them.
The dividends brought by tourists are the money earned by Xiaobai Niu from selling tickets and the father-in-law and mother-in-law from selling meals.
As for Chen Ling ordering a second-generation wolfdog himself, this is still a matter of no concern, but the reputation of beef is gradually growing.
“The transportation there is not good, and it takes a lot of effort to get there. It’s normal for people to have astigmatism, but your farm doesn’t rely on those people to make money. It can make a profit just by selling wine and agricultural products. "
Han Ninggui peeled quail eggs for Yaya and Ruirui, and said with a smile.
Speaking of wine and agricultural products, Zhao Dahai's mother also became energetic and praised continuously: "Yes, yes, yes, Fugui also brought two jars of wine to the family. The wine is really delicious. I heard from Dahai that the sales are valuable. "
After that, the old lady said to the people next to her: "Dahai and Xiaolin often run to them, and sometimes they take Wenxia and Dujuan with them. They play for several days, Xiaolin. Chen Hui knows a lot, and all the young ones like to go and play with him..."
The old lady praised Chen Ling, saying how good he was at hunting, how delicious his cooking was, and how he even planted crops. The land is stronger than others, and the food and vegetables grown are more delicious than others.
These old people really like chatting with Chen Ling.
When we were seated, we came over to sit with Chen Ling and his family.
While changing glasses and talking freely, the group seemed very close and lively.
This aroused the curiosity of many others. From time to time, some people would look here and listen to them quietly.
The identities of these old people are not simple.
A great writer and a great professor.
Sat here specially, surrounded by these two young people so affectionately, they all thought that this family of three had some special background.
People like Zhao Yubao and Han Ninggui had a good relationship with Shan Mao's father. As elders, they shouldn't be sitting here.
However, everyone here today is their own person, and the Bobcat family did not make any fixed seating arrangements. There is no need to consider the relationship, they are seated in a row, so that everyone can come as they feel comfortable.
So it’s usually just acquaintances sitting together.
Chen Ling and the others are naturally considered to have a close relationship with several old people.
Some people who are familiar with Zhao Dahai's family are relatives of Shanmao's family. Out of curiosity, they also sat over to see who Chen Ling's family was and get to know them.
Now Zhao Dahai's mother is talking to such an old couple.
After hearing Zhao Dahai's mother's praise, they really believed it. They looked at Chen Ling with a look of amazement on their faces and lamented that young people should not be judged by their appearance.
“People say that this is about to enter a new era, and farming has no future. If you ask me, it depends on the person. Xiao Chen is such a talent. He grows vegetables and raises chickens and ducks. Everyone is rushing to get the eggs.”
Zhao Dahai’s mother was still praising them.
Chen Ling blushed after hearing this.
My dear aunt, my eggs and duck eggs are really good, but I haven’t grown or sold vegetables in the past two years. Thank you very much for your compliment.
At this time, the old lady was still very enthusiastic about talking to others. Finally, she said with high spirits: "Xiao Chen, during the Dragon Boat Festival, your Uncle Zhao and I will go to your place to play, and by the way, we can also see my goddaughter. Then we will help you harvest the wheat. You Just teach us how to grow vegetables. Your Uncle Zhao and I have long wanted to carve out a piece of farmland of half an acre and grow something."
"Welcome, Auntie. You and Uncle Zhao and your family are coming over. We are having a temple fair and dragon boat racing this year. It will be fun."
Chen Ling replied with a smile.
When he said this, the people at the tables next to them who were quietly eavesdropping on their conversation suddenly became interested and came over to ask questions.
Inquire about the place and ask about the old turtle water monster and other things that I heard them talk about before.
They dispersed noisily after asking.
Some old men and women at the table insisted on pestering him, asking him to talk about his farming experience, saying that the vegetable garden they had opened at home was not good at planting, and asked him to give him some advice.
How can Chen Ling have any experience? Although he has gradually become familiar with farm work in the past two years and has become more comfortable doing it, he is still half-assed.
I only selected a few vegetables that were easy to manage and easy to grow, and suggested that they plant them.
There are loofahs, pumpkins, and beans in a large area. You can also grow these things on the balcony upstairs. They are easy to manage.
For other vegetables, not to mention whether they are easy to grow or not, the key is that the space in the city is small, watering and fertilization is a problem, and the taste of the vegetables is not delicious.
In the end it was all in vain.
Just say that they are in the countryside. Many crops have to be sprayed before the rain and fertilized after the rain. Some crops have to chase water after the rain and turn over the rice seedlings in the muddy fields. As soon as you plant, you start to attract insect bites, and you need to keep spraying pesticides to prevent insect damage until the harvest season...
You have to pay attention to the weather and solar terms before and after the rain. This is the case in the countryside. In cities, the space for growing vegetables is small and cannot be used widely. Sometimes we don’t pay attention to these aspects. It is normal for the things grown not to taste good or not grow well.
After Chen Ling told this, he thought they would find it troublesome, but unexpectedly these people were very interested.
Why do you spray medicine before rain, but you are not afraid that the rain will wash away the medicine and it will no longer work? Isn’t it a waste of effort and a waste of pesticides? Do you need to water after the rain? Will you water the crops too much and drown them?
"That won't happen. Take eggplants, for example. After they bear fruit, you have to chase the water again after the rain..."
Chen Ling took out the eggplants and said it again.
Then he briefly talked about the benefits of spraying medicine before rain.
“…You see, after it rains like this and the crops are full of water, if you spray pesticides at this time, they will not absorb the pesticide. Naturally, spraying after the rain will not be as effective as spraying before the rain. . ”
“It is also true that rain washes away pesticides, and it is not wasteful. The crops absorb the pesticide effect before the rain, and after the pesticide is sprayed, it is equivalent to giving them a vaccination in advance, improving the quality of the pesticide. It can also prevent the occurrence of diseases after rain."
"Oh, so that's it."
Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this.
They are getting older and have nothing else to do. They have a lot of free time, and they also want to grow flowers and vegetables. This is a hobby engraved in the bones of many Chinese people.
After talking to Chen Ling for a while, they all started gearing up and wanted to have a big fight.
"Just now, Xiao Chen said that mushrooms can also be grown. As autumn enters this year, we also set aside a room to grow some mushrooms."
"Tie, growing mushrooms is so laborious, how can you still do this? It's better to just throw a rotten wooden pile in the yard and let it grow fungus on its own, as Fugui said."
"Hahaha..."
The conversation between a bunch of old men and old ladies made the guests at other tables dumbfounded.
I really don’t understand why these great professors and writers are so interested in talking about this.
It’s just growing vegetables, what fun can there be in that?
