Chapter 37 37. Fertilizing the tea garden
The red-haired aunt’s ability to carry goods is indeed second to none.
Under her leadership, old customers would ask for three to five kilograms at will, while new customers would hesitate to take one or two kilograms.
So, when another group of customers took the time to come over after seeing the news, they discovered——
“I was only half an hour late, why are they gone?”< br>
"That's right. Didn't you say that everyone doesn't like to eat milkvetch today and won't buy it?"
"That's right! I just came here after hesitating for a long time. I originally planned to buy only one kilogram to try it, which is considered as support. Where’s the boss?”
Song Tan:? ? ?
Is there still such crazy comments in the group?
She quickly turned on her phone, and sure enough, there were many familiar avatars talking about the unpopularity of Chinese vetch, as if the business could no longer continue.
But when I clicked on WeChat to collect money, several people scanned the QR code to pay 180 yuan.
Song Tan: ...There are so many tricks in the world!
The customers also reacted, looking at her empty basket with tears in their eyes. Finally, their eyes moved to the cold milk vetch in Qiaoqiao’s hand that had not had time to be tasted, and they were ready to move:
"What is this?"
Song Tan simply handed over the disposable chopsticks: "This is the unpopular milk vetch."
Several customers took a reserved taste with complicated emotions, and burst into tears instantly——
“Next time I believe they lie to me, I will be a puppy!”
Qiao Qiao’s eyes One light: "Woof woof woof!!!"
Everyone was so stimulated that they had no choice but to finish the rest of the dishes with tears in their eyes, and then agreed to do a big shopping spree tomorrow morning, and then left reluctantly.
Song Tan: ...Not really.
As soon as they left, Song Tan quickly looked at the small basket of milkvetch on the back seat of the car: "Let's go, Qiao Qiao, to the express station."
The person from out of town answered that he had to give it to him Send it over.
......
Back home, Song Tan counted the money collected today and found that the total amount was another two thousand yuan. He still collected it without picking more today. Arrived.
Ulan has gone from being in a daze to now accepting it calmly, and even started to plan the field:
"If you want to make money from this, don't feed cows and pigs."
Song Tan shook his head: "Mom, the main purpose of planting this is to fertilize the fields. How many years will this field last? After farming, we have to clean up. "
"What's more, the milkvetch grows very fast, so there is no need to be frugal with so many pieces of land."
As soon as he finished speaking, But she saw Song Sancheng carrying a hoe and preparing to go out. She looked at the gloomy sky as if it was about to rain: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Song Sancheng replied: "I'm going to dig the tea garden. I'll go that day. On the mountain, I found that the tea gardens over there are now starting to bud, and the old leaves are green, so I might as well apply some nitrogen fertilizer before it rains.”
When fertilizing tea gardens, it is generally necessary to dig a shallow layer of the land before it rains and sprinkle the fertilizer.
Waiting for the rain to fall in this way is easy to absorb and will not burn the seedlings.
He said, with a bit of secret joy: "I think our earth spirits will taste better this year. Just pick more tea leaves, it will definitely taste good!"
When he said this, Song Tan also thought of the old tea garden at home.
A few years ago, this tea could still be sold for some money. Later, as the Internet developed and marketing became more and more powerful, there was no market for tea with no brand like theirs.
So everyone left a few acres of tea gardens without much care and just drank it themselves every year. If you really want to make money, go out and work in the second half of the year.
At Song Tan's house, because of Qiao Qiao's condition, the couple felt sorry for their child and refused to take him to the factory, so they had to keep someone at home every year.
Of course, it takes more time to take care of the fields at home.
The moisture in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and there will definitely be another spring rain in the evening. Song Tan thinks of the slightly bitter but sweet taste of the tea leaves in his hometown, and can't help but feel excited.
At this moment, he turned around and took a hoe: "Dad, let's go together." Song Sancheng deliberately stopped him: "This is a hard work for a girl..."
But when I turned around and thought about how hard-working a girl I was, carrying two large baskets at a time without any effort, I couldn't help but fell silent again.
After thinking about it, he simply called his son: "Qiaoqiao, let's go to farm!"
Qiaoqiao rushed out: "Are you going to plant corn?"< br>
……
Tea Mountain is still quite far away from home.
You need to go around from the front to the back mountain, then climb the path of the back mountain, and then to the other side of the back mountain to see the vast tea gardens.
Of course a large area here belongs to the Song Tan family.
Song Sancheng looked at the green leaves and couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is good this year, and the late spring cold is not so cold. In previous years, there would be snow at this time, and the tea leaves would most likely be frozen."
As he spoke, he waved the hoe and started digging the trench.
Song Tan really has no experience in fertilizing, so now that he is following their example, he might as well start digging.
With every movement of his hands, a trace of spiritual energy was wrapped around the tea leaves on the left and right, row by row, column by column...
The sky was getting gloomier, as if it was about to rain.
Song Sancheng looked at the large area of land that he had quickly dug shallowly, and then looked at the place where Qiao Qiao had carefully spread it, and couldn't help but be shocked -
"It was dug so fast! ”
It turns out that this tea garden has been around for a long time. If he waits until October to apply base fertilizer and digs deep trenches, it will take him more than a week!
But it has only been more than an hour now, and this is a big deal - even if it only requires a shallow dig without much force, it is not so efficient, right?
The experienced old farmer couldn't help but wonder:
"I have eaten a lot during this period. Could it be that my body has improved? Why do I feel more energetic the more I work?"
Song Tan was silent, pretending that it had nothing to do with the aura he had radiated.
Song Sancheng didn't think about her head at all. He just looked at the place where she dug and expressed surprise at the overly flexible hoe -
"Oh! You are really a farmer." ! Look at this, it’s done quickly and well!”
“Girl, it seems that our family has been nurtured by the soil, look at how much stronger you are!”
Qiao Qiao is here! Behind the hoe, he hummed and spread fertilizer, while sticking out his tongue at Song Sancheng: "Dad doesn't know how to farm, so slow!"
Song Sancheng also snorted and laughed: "I'm better at farming than you. Just corn.”
"Qiaoqiao, don't follow your sister, just spread it line by line."
He has been so busy recently, he remembered it too late, and now he has missed the best season for fertilizing.
In addition, it seems that the rain has arrived half a day earlier than the forecast, and it is too late to dig more soil.
I can only say that if you can dig a little more, just sprinkle the rest directly on the soil surface.
Turning to look at this tea garden, Song Sancheng couldn't help but sigh again: "If we pick these four or five acres of tea carefully, we will be able to pick a hundred pounds of dry tea by the end of the spring tea."
"But there are so many things to do in spring, and I don't have time to do them. It's a pity."
Farm work is really hard, and it's not as easy as I described! Including tea picking.
Another.
