Chapter 169 169. Picking Tremella
Of course, limiting watermelon varieties depends not only on market demand, but also on whether the family has enough labor to manage it.
For example, the early-maturing varieties that the boss highly recommended at the beginning have one melon per vine and do not require careful care.
Those that can have two or three melons per plant require more effort.
Pruning promotes flowers and fruits...it takes a lot of effort.
Song Tan calculated the time in his mind -
"Boss, first come 12,000 early-maturing seedlings and 2,500 medium-maturing seedlings."
"At half past six tomorrow morning Before, you had them all delivered to my home, okay?”
Well, if I hadn’t sold some bamboo shoots and a few kilograms of tea, I would have been short of money to buy seedlings.
Life is really hard.
OK, why not? !
With such a big business, the boss was so excited that he trembled with excitement. Even at the wholesale price of 35 cents per tree, he could still earn close to 5,000 yuan!
Oh, I don’t have enough seedlings in my own greenhouse, so I have to quickly find relatives to get more.
But...
The boss looked at her worriedly: "Girl, your family has ten or twenty acres of land to grow watermelons? Have you found a shipping channel? ”
"If you don't find a good one, don't plant so much, it's very risky!"
With twenty acres of land, if you take care of small melons like this well, you can have an output of three thousand kilograms per mu. It’s not a small amount! If you lose, it will break your muscles and bones!
Farming is never about sowing seeds, planting seedlings and waiting for harvest. During this period, fertilizers and pesticides are applied manually and managed, and natural and man-made disasters have to be dealt with from time to time, which is very risky.
Often a year's work has been invested, and the house has been damaged. Suddenly, there is a heavy rain, and the watermelon explodes in the field...
This kind of thing , which watermelon growers have never encountered it?
Besides, this thing is put on the market in large quantities every year. If you plant so many watermelons without negotiating a good channel, it is very likely that the watermelons will not be sold and will rot in the ground.
At the end of that year, all the hard work has been wasted, and that’s the end of it.
The boss wants to make money, but in business, it is best for everyone to be prosperous so that they can have continuous and stable income.
…
What is the shipping channel? Nowadays, apart from setting up stalls for online shopping, there is nothing else.
However, Song Tan was not worried, and could only nod with determination at this moment:
"Don't worry, it's all settled."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"
The boss beamed instantly.
Although many times you will suffer some losses if you negotiate the price in advance, it is better to be safe.
In this way, I only need to maintain quality and quantity, and there are other seedlings in my own greenhouse to maintain customers and develop sustainably.
Well, there are so many things to worry about when doing business these days.
......
When I got home, I saw that the two men were still driving their tricycles happily.
Song Tan looked at her father who was reluctant to move on the tricycle, and couldn't help laughing: "Dad, didn't you say you bought it for my uncle Zhang? Why can't you just ride it yourself?" ”
Song Sancheng felt confident again now: "Uncle Zhang, you have inconvenient legs and feet. Just let me help you with any work. You can't bully others like this, right?"
Okay, all the interpretation rights belong to the boss.
Of course it’s what dad said. But...
"Dad, we have to find twenty more people to go up the mountain to help plant watermelons tomorrow."
Song Sancheng was riding on the car and couldn't help but frown again: these twenty people came and waved their hoes, and the four thousand yuan was gone.
He hesitated a little: "Farming watermelons is easier than the last time. Do we want 150 days?"
Song Tan thought for a while: "No need, Dad. We are all from the same village, so we always have work to do, so we don’t have to worry about making trouble.”
Moreover, one person’s workload from morning to night is six to seven hundred trees, so that’s it. Not easy anymore.
The money should be generous, and everyone should be more careful in planting seedlings.
With twenty acres of mountain land, there will be plenty of room for the folks to use in the future.
Song Sancheng understands the hardships of farming better than Song Tan. This is just a mention, but now it is nothing more.
After he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator again, and the tricycle made a slight roar: "I will go to the back mountain to tell your Uncle Zhang that I will prepare more fat when I have time."
< br>This is not just to say something, it is clearly to show off!
Song Tan swallowed the unfinished words in his mouth, and now he had to change the topic: "Seventh cousin, I will have to work hard for you tomorrow."
The seventh cousin snorted: "This is what we do, it's not hard work. I am born!"
"If you really feel sorry for yourself, didn't you say that the white fungus on the mountain has grown? Hurry and pick one. Bring the basket and take advantage of the good weather in the past two days. After drying it, I will stew it. "
This thing is like black fungus. It cannot be eaten immediately after being picked. It must be dried or dried. The program will do.
Grandma Qi is old, her teeth are normal, and the white fungus is good for the stomach. Cousin Qi has been thinking about this for a long time.
Song Tan smiled: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain right away."
"Wait a minute," he pointed at Jojo, who was holding a tablet and watching Ultraman with great interest: "There is nothing much to do now, so let's take him there too. It will be beneficial to gain more exposure."
Qiao Qiao has been brought along, is there still Zhang Yanping missing?
So the three of them each had a basket and a sharp bamboo knife, and went up the mountain with great interest.
Before leaving, Song Youde stopped him: "Tan Tan? Is the basket heavy? Otherwise, put it on the back seat of my car and I will take it up to you?"
Song Tan :……
How much does an empty basket weigh? Don’t you just want to show off by riding a bike? But grandpa, you can only seat one person in the back seat. Whether these three baskets can be stacked or not is another matter!
Zhang Yanping also sighed: "That mountain is all my blood and sweat."
What blood and sweat? Isn’t it because I spent some effort when planting golden cherry blossoms?
Song Tan was too lazy to say anything.
After a while, he pointed forward and said: "Look, your hard work has blossomed. Can't you pick two flowers back?"
The golden cherry blossoms planted in March are growing vigorously, and they are stimulated by spiritual energy. They are sprouting bamboo shoots, leaving leaves and flower buds like crazy.
When it was planted, it was pruned to look like a low stake, and now the long branches and vines have hung on the fence.
The white yellow pistil flowers bloom, and they are full of fairy air. If you get closer and smell them, they still have a fresh fragrance!
No wonder there are bees buzzing around even if there are only a few sparsely bloomed flowers.
"This flower is so big!" Qiaoqiao immediately stepped forward and gestured: "When will it bloom more? I will bring Big Bear here."
It's a pity that no one praised him for looking carefully.
Song Tan has also entered the chestnut forest and started picking white fungus against the neatly arranged mushroom sticks in the forest.
This is the first crop of white fungus, not very big. It's like he didn't relax at all.
The largest one is only the size of a duck egg.
The sharp bamboo knife selected such a big white fungus and stuck it to the root. With just a little force, it instantly cut them into the basket.
I'm sleepy as hell, but after thinking about it, I still struggle to write it out...
I'm so energetic!
