Chapter 97 97. What to plant in the back mountain
Just like that, Qiaoqiao carried all the fry back with a plastic bag in each hand.
Wang Lifen and Wu Lan, the head ladies of the family, were busy washing and washing themselves in the yard.
There is no other way. According to local rules, if you ask the villagers to work, you must include a lunch. Song Tan's family of four, grandparents, plus Zhang Yanping, the young man who drives the excavator who lives at home, and Song Sancheng's three old guys who help work on the back mountain...
Total Eleven people, just because the food at home tastes good, except for Song Tan, who has an average appetite, the others can only eat two or three bowls at a meal.
The amount of work involved in cooking is not small.
Song Sancheng is now too busy to touch the ground, and so is Ulan. He has to go to the fields with Song Tan and Qiao Qiao early in the morning to pick milkvetch.
As the weather gets warmer, more and more vetches are in buds in the fields. They can no longer be picked. They are too old to be eaten.
Therefore, in order to ensure quality, the time for picking and sorting every day has increased.
What's more, since knowing that the milk vetch won't last long, more and more people come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. They buy them by the pound and then go home to blanch them in water and freeze them, so that they can be eaten. Eat until the Chinese New Year.
No, Song Tan added another order early this morning: "Mom, we have to ship another two thousand kilograms to other places today."
For this reason, the whole family was mobilized.
Ulan was still wondering: "Is he wholesale and selling it?"
Song Tan shook his head: "No, he said that his family runs a farmhouse, and after the milkvetch is distributed, it will be boiled and frozen. , and then serve a portion to each guest who comes to eat. "
Whether it's for stir-frying, making soup, or something else, it's just a wild vegetable grown in the field, and the quantity is not large, so it's not for sale, it's just a gift.
Good guy, during this time, a guest is coming like a cloud!
Spring is originally a good season for eating wild vegetables. After such a deal, everyone knows that this farmhouse has an outstanding reputation and its income has greatly increased.
Of course, the young man who bought the vegetables didn't tell them the inside story, but Song Tan guessed it.
In the past, Ulan could only be happy about making money. But now she still has to figure out how to do it quickly and well without delaying lunch cooking.
It’s hard to work too much.
But...
“Oh, with this sum of 40,000 yuan, plus the money from the vegetables sold in the past two days, can we pay the remaining contracting fee?”< br>
Otherwise, I will always be in debt, which will make me feel uncomfortable.
Song Tan cruelly broke her fantasy: "Mom, since Houshan plans to receive subsidies to plant fruit trees, all kinds of fruit trees have been planted, and they cannot be white. We will see the results this year."< br>
For big seedlings that are three to five years old, an acre of land is not much, and planting a hundred trees will cost less than 20,000 yuan.
"After that, you still have to hire someone to plant and water it, right? All this hillock has to be close to the pond below. It will cost a lot of money to buy an electric water pump with a roll and a long pipe. It's just a piece of inconspicuous stuff."< br>
“And in our field...”
Before Song Tan finished explaining, he saw that Wulan had closed his eyes in pain:
“Okay, okay. , stop being so nagging."
He then asked, "Have you sold the honey? This is also money!"
Is there anything that can't be sold?
With a shout in the group, the out-of-town customer who wanted two thousand kilograms of milkvetch also asked for ten bottles in one go.
There are thirteen bottles in total, and now there is only one bottle left to drink, and the inventory is empty.
The bees will have to go back to collect nectar for a few days to brew it. It is temporarily out of stock.
Ask people what they do after wholesale? He said he planned to make some honey water as a gift.
Song Tan thought, if the time was not too short and the profit points had not yet been calculated, this young man with a vision might have turned tea into their signature product! Wulan packed up the vegetables at hand and directed Song Tan: "Go to the back mountain when you have time to feed the pigs, chickens and ducks."
Song Tan ran away on the mountain After a trip, I took a look at a group of ducklings and came back with another idea:
"Mom, I think these ducks are moulting. Let's build a duck shed at the pond in the back mountain."< br>
Originally, it was planned to be raised in the pond on the field side, but the field side was a regular square with a rounded edge, while the pond in the back mountain was like a mirror with a handle. The handle of the mirror can just be used to build a simple duck shed. When the time comes, the whole back mountain will be watched by the king. It can be seen from top to bottom, and it is also easy to manage.
Ulan thought for a while: "Don't worry, wait until the mountain is cleared. Fruit trees are the most important thing now!"
April doesn't wait for anyone!
Then I remembered: "What are you going to plant?"
Song Tan was still humming:
"After all, express delivery here is still a bit difficult. It’s inconvenient, the mountain road is bumpy, and I see that the town has no money to build the road for us in the past two years.”
People in the suburbs can even set up an orchard or something to pick and sell on-site, but they can't do that here.
Anyone who doesn’t get carsick will get carsick on this trip. The road is really difficult.
"In this case, you have to plant something that can hold up, has a strong skin and is not afraid of collision."
Ulan thought for a while: "Is that apple? Pear? Pomegranate, date? Grape?"
She couldn't think of anything else.
Anyway, you can’t grow local cherries like the one at your doorstep. They are delicious, but when you pick them, you can’t cover them, squeeze them, and avoid collisions. It’s not good if you don’t eat them for a long time.
Song Tan also hesitated: "I haven't thought about it yet."
This wave is really due to the boldness of the master of spiritual energy. It would be strange for any farmer to be so reckless and without a plan and not lose money.
While he was talking, Zhang Yanping came back with his shoulders slumped like an authentic old farmer wearing a straw hat and carrying a rake.
He had a sad face:
"Sister, no matter what you plan to plant, I have someone. I will contact you! You take me with you and let's go select the seedlings."
I really don't want to go up the mountain anymore.
Wulan laughed loudly: "Yanping, if that doesn't work, you should go home. If you continue to work at your aunt's place day after day, your mother will really feel bad for you."
Zhang Yanping wanted to Cry without tears: Does he not want to go back? It was obviously his mother who called every day and ordered him to stay here!
However, the aunt finally said something fair: "Tan Tan, you really have to ask Yan Ping what you want to grow. Your aunt said that he has a tricky mouth! He will eat whatever is delicious. All the imported fruits in the store were destroyed by him.”
"Our things are so expensive, so if you want to plant them, you should plant something expensive."
Zhang Yanping perked up: "Yes! You have to listen to me on this matter! Let me think about it - apples and oranges are among our It’s not growing well here. There’s no other reason than climate. Let’s rule it out.” br>
“Domestic cherries and blueberries are very popular now, but the lighting here is just not as good as others, and there are many of them in the suburbs, and they are all run as plantations. It’s risky for us novices. It’s a bit big.”
“By the way, the kiwi fruit in Huacheng is very famous. Our climate is similar. Would you consider kiwi fruit? That one is a vine and is quite durable before it matures.”< br>
In the past two days, there were even fewer incidents that had their own reasons. Today, there are tens of thousands of incidents every day!
