Chapter 8 8. Ziyun
Song Sancheng frowned: “Are you planning to plant rice on dozens of acres of land?”
Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many Ziyun. Ying Lai has gained weight, how many pounds? Only five or six kilograms of seeds are needed for one acre of milkvetch.
Now at the end of February, I still have my down jacket and big cotton-padded jacket on me. After March, the temperature has improved rapidly. As long as there is no late spring cold and the temperature difference between day and night is not that big, most crops can be planted.
If you plant milkvetch, you can at least till the end of April and May before planting again... That's fine, as long as you don't delay planting.
According to Song Sancheng's farming experience, May is the most suitable time for planting in rural areas. March and April are cold in late spring every year, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Seeds will also freeze to death when they germinate, so it is not suitable.
It was just that he felt unhappy thinking about spending so much money and wasting time in the first place.
Song Tan thought about it for a long time last night, and now he is not in a hurry: "The bottom two fields grow rice, and our family eats it ourselves."
Those two fields add up. Three or four acres, the rice yield is now high, enough for the family to eat, and some can be given to relatives and friends.
Song Tan won't consider it anymore. It's hard to grow rice, so there won't be more.
You can also try raising fish in rice fields.
“In the other fields, we will first plant milkvetch to fertilize them, and when it gets warmer, I will plant vegetables.”
Song Sancheng no longer objected: “It’s good to grow vegetables, it’s good to grow vegetables. When the time comes, you can ride a three-wheeler to the street to sell. "The cost is low, the harvest is fast, and it is easier than growing rice.
Song Tan laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I planned too." That's weird. How many people are there in the town?
If you want to go, you have to go to the city.
In fact, Song Tan thought about his work last night and had some other ideas - nowadays people like to watch pastoral videos to relax and calm down, but there are so many rural areas, how can we quickly catch people's attention?
Either beautiful or unique.
Her hometown, Yunqiao Village, is really ordinary.
In this way, we must focus on "beauty".
The growth cycle of milkvetch is short, it is hardy and easy to plant, and its flowers are beautiful enough. When the time comes, she will shoot a video, and the first step will be to attract traffic to the stretching milkvetch flower field.
Otherwise, if there is so much land and vegetables, when will it become a high-quality product?
......
At the end of February, there were not many people in the agricultural supply store. Song Tan asked for 70 kilograms of milkvetch seeds. The boss was also very surprised:
"You have planted a lot. Earth? Five kilograms of these raw seeds are enough for one acre. The price of these medicinal seeds is the same, 10 yuan per kilogram."
The raw seeds are unprocessed. .
Medicinal seeds have insect- and disease-preventing medicines wrapped around the seeds, which have good resistance.
Song Tan thought to himself that I can’t plant a white spirit for a hundred years, and there are still ways to repel insects, so he decisively made a choice:
“I want the original seeds!”
In addition to milkvetch, other seeds must also be purchased, such as vegetable seeds, from pak choi, which has the shortest growth cycle, to peppers, eggplants, and cucumbers that need to be cultivated...all must be purchased.
The seeds sold locally may not be as complete as online, but they are the most adaptable for novices. So Song Tan finally bought it and spent more than a thousand yuan, which made Song Sancheng feel twitching in his heart.
Song Tan is still asking!
"Are there any rice seeds? It needs to taste good."
The boss looked at it and said: "Yes, this long-grain fragrance has a great taste. I can buy it for ten yuan a pound. No. The yield is low, only 1,800 kilograms per mu."
Song Tan couldn't help but sigh - technology is productivity!
In the world of cultivation, for those spiritual valleys that have not been hybridized and optimized, she could only produce five or six hundred kilograms per mu after exhausting her spiritual energy.
"How do you sell it?"
The boss is also unambiguous: "This seed is expensive, 80 per catty, and one acre of land costs two catties."
Eight catties of seeds for four acres of land, so expensive. Where to go? Thinking of the fragrant and impurity-free rice, Song Tan's mouth watered:
"I want it!"...
After spending 2,000 yuan on buying seeds, Song Sancheng took a puff of cigarette and said earnestly: "Tantan, you can't rush to buy things slowly, and farming the land is also expensive, so you have to prepare a lot of money. ”
The cultivator needs additional rakes of different depths. If you buy it, these need to be equipped separately. They rent, so they don't have this problem.
But their fields have not been plowed for many years, and they have to hire someone to clean up the weeds and trees, which costs 150 per person per day. Seven fields were worked by a dozen people in one day, and another 2,000 yuan was gone.
If you don’t invite people, it will waste time and affect their farming.
Then a fire had to be lit in the field before the land could be plowed. After drying for two days, they can be planted.
Although it is just machine work, the fields they have here can only plow five acres of land a day. Fifteen acres will take three days and 1,500 yuan.
Fertilizers and pesticides will follow... When Song Sancheng thought about the money spent, he felt that his daughter had spent too much money!
"If you grow so many vegetables, do you need to build a greenhouse to raise the seedlings? Don't you mean that you have to hire people to dig the mountain? What are you going to do on the mountain?"
Thinking of this, Song Tan also A little numb.
Tens of thousands of yuan was lost before construction even started.
Song Tan made a decision immediately: "Dad, let's not dig up the mountain now. I plan to plant black fungus and white fungus on the mountain. I will use the oak trees on our mountain to grow the fungus. There is no need to clean it up."
< br>There are many hemp oak trees, also called hemp chestnut trees, in their local area. This kind of wood is strong and can withstand fire. This is what Song Tan burns in his home today.
Of course, it is also a good material for growing black fungus and white fungus.
It’s just that now we use bacterial spawn bags to directly grow. This method has not appeared for many years. As a result, the price of tree fungi has increased.
Song Tan vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he grew black fungus and white fungus at home.
As a result, every household planted it, but the promised purchaser did not come. In the end, they could only dry it and keep it at home, where they ate it for several years.
Song San was numb.
——Grow black fungus and white fungus?
Then you are not allowed to cut down the tree and deal with the trunk? Cut down a tree trunk of suitable thickness, punch holes in it one by one, and then fill it with bacteria...
Because it takes up space and has low yield, it has been slowly eliminated by the strain package. But what Tantan said makes sense. Now we just want to make it purely natural and pollution-free. We make a strain pack to look like it. Don’t worry about whether there is pollution or not. Anyway, it just has less flavor than the ones grown from trees.
Song Sancheng sighed.
But then I thought about it - forget it, there are a lot of oak trees planted anyway, and the hills are crowded, so it would be better to cut down some.
It is much better than spending money outside.
Spend it, spend it. Once the money is spent, it will be out of sight!
He said in a sullen voice: "I'll ask the person who sells the strains."
Song Tan felt guilty when she saw her father acting like this - because she bought a computer and some accessories online last night. In order to ensure the efficiency of post-editing, 8,000 was spent.
But the flowers are all spent.
Song Tan then struck while the iron was hot: "Dad, clean up the pig pen at the door. Let's raise three or four pigs this year."
The food is delicious, but the meat must also keep up!
Song Sancheng almost jumped up: "You work so much, you want your mother and I to be exhausted to death!"
After thinking about how expensive pork is now, I was actually quite moved, so he calmed down. His expression changed:
“We can’t build a pigsty in front of our house now. The village said it affects the appearance, so the firewood shed must be tidied up.”

[As for cutting down trees, there are many hills in rural areas and every household has them. The tacit understanding among everyone is that if they are cut down, they must be planted, so there is no need to worry about cutting them all down. ]
[There is scientific guidance on growing fungi in the forest, which is stable. The basswood and white fungus we eat now are grown in this way, except that there is no basswood here, just use local trees. ]
[Regarding the pictures of plants, I didn’t put the easter eggs in case you would find it troublesome. If you have pictures later, you can actively put them in this chapter. If you are interested, click on it and read it. If you are not interested, don't read it. It will not affect your reading. ]
[If you have other questions, just ask them in the comment area. I will give explanations like this if I can answer them. In the free period, I will put it into chapters. In the later stage, I will try my best to put the words so as not to take up the number of words. ]
