While picking tea, Wulan thought of another thing:
"Tan Tan, our rice is planted so early this year, do you want to plant two crops of rice?"
She was a little worried: "There aren't many people who grow two crops of rice here!"
Song Tan actually hadn’t thought it through yet.
It is only the beginning of April now, and the thriving seedlings have been planted. By the end of June, it will be time to harvest the rice.
If we were to plant a crop of rice now, it would be just the right time.
But if they harvested the rice, prepared the land, and planted more vegetables, they would definitely be able to earn more money.
After all, the rice is not intended to be sold for money.
but…
The variety she chose has a good taste but a slightly lower yield. The two fields are nearly three acres in size and can produce about three thousand kilograms of rice and about two thousand kilograms of rice.
Two thousand kilograms sounds like a lot, but according to her father's appetite, before this rice had spiritual power, he would have eaten more than two hundred kilograms a year. Now everyone in the family can eat three bowls of rice a day, so one person a year, at least six hundred kilograms of rice, right
But their family of four can consume all the rice in a year.
Not to mention that we have to hire people to do the cooking from time to time, and there are also Zhang Yanping and my seventh cousin...
After Song Tan thought about it, he made a decision:
"Yes, I plan to grow double-season rice."
"After all, the rice produced from these two plots of land is not enough for us to eat in a year, so we might as well plant two crops of rice."
Wulan complained to her: "If you grow two crops of rice, you need to apply more fertilizer. Why don't you apply fertilizer to your fields?"
The head of the family knows whether the family has bought urea fertilizer or not.
But Song Tan's words were all lies:
"Yes, imported organic fertilizer is too expensive, so I can't bear to show it to you... Don't use other fertilizers. Isn't it safe to eat now?"
"Besides, the land has become very hardened due to the use of chemical fertilizers and urea every year. The soil is no longer suitable for supporting human life."
Isn't this nonsense
Wulan almost rolled her eyes.
Everyone knows that the more fertilizer is used on the land, the more it becomes greedy. However, the worse the land is, the more fertilizer is needed. This is a vicious cycle.
But if you want to make a living, farming is indispensable.
The crops in the fields are really too good this year.
But Wulan thought about the delicious food she had eaten this year, which had not yet been harvested from the fields. She looked at Song Tan suspiciously and asked, "Are you using all the wild vegetables and bamboo forest?"
"When? Where did it come from? Why didn't I see it?"
Alas, one lie can be made up for by a thousand lies.
But it won’t work if you don’t make up for it.
Every household in the village has a field, but only their own crops grow well. If they keep it a secret from outsiders, they can't even come up with a reason, and sooner or later something bad will happen.
Song Tan said confidently, "It was used."
"The amount of concentrated fertilizer we use is not large. One milliliter is enough for one field. But it's too precious. Foreign countries won't sell it to us. I'm afraid others will get wind of it and something bad might happen."
How can this be called fertilizer? This is clearly an elixir!
Wu Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly instructed, "Then you have to find out if this can be used here. Doesn't the vibrato say that many flowers and plants from abroad can't be used here?"
Oh, Ms. Ulan now has the concept of invasive species, Song Tan is very relieved!
At this moment, he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, it's okay. The scientific research bases in our country also have them, but they don't sell them to the outside because the cost is too high. I put in a lot of effort, otherwise why would I be so anxious to make money..."
Is it okay? Let's just get away with it for now. You have to give a reason.
But this also reminded her to go home and order an order for a beautiful bottle online.
As for this concentrated fertilizer... wait a little longer. When she enters the foundation-building stage and her spiritual energy can condense into water, I will get a box of nutrient solution for Wulan to see!
Nowadays...
This spiritual energy is so precious and scarce that it makes me cry just talking about it.
Wu Lan, however, was skeptical and seemed to understand but not quite.
But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other possible explanation besides this one, right
However, after watching the live broadcast, Wulan found that he really didn’t understand what these young people were talking about. Maybe... this is what concentrated fertilizer is like
As it involves the livelihood of the family, she also hurriedly reminded, "Alright, alright, stop talking, just think of it as a favor from the God of Land, the crops in the field are growing well this year."
He muttered unwillingly: "I told you, how can you be better at farming than me..."
The veteran farmer's last hurdle.
After finishing the business, Wu Lan started to talk again: "Qiao Qiao is not in the camera, what are you looking at? Now that you are here, hurry up and pick more tea leaves, this is the real way to make money."
What kind of tea is this? Even after two lifetimes, Song Tan still remembers the pain of picking tea, and now he hurriedly picks up the empty basket.
"I'll go to Qiao Qiao's place and ask him to show his face as well."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Wulan was really furious—
This is the most profitable, why doesn't anyone want to come and pick tea? Is this more tiring than digging in the mountains
…
Song Tan returned to the chestnut forest.
Qiao Qiao walked around the Tremella stick from one side to the other and now returned to the camera.
He had never learned anything about Tremella fuciformis, so he didn't say anything. He just silently peeled the flowers one by one with a small bamboo knife.
I kept counting in my mouth, but I always got lost, so after half a day, I still hadn't collected a hundred flowers.
Zhang Yanping, on the other hand, didn't want to be on camera, so he shrank to the other side of the camera. When he saw Song Tan coming, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I could be so popular if I started a rural live broadcast?"
Qiao Qiao’s road to success is too easy!
Song Tan snorted and laughed. Even though she shot such a beautiful video last time, the traffic didn't favor her. It can be seen that it is not easy to make money in any industry.
"Brother Yanping, I support you making a video, but have you decided what to film?"
Qiao Qiao follows this pattern because of his special mind, it was a coincidence.
But Zhang Yanping is a young man, and if he wants to broadcast something live, he must have some content.
Song Tan also suggested: "Why don't you write an essay about wild vegetables and farmland in the countryside, and do some popular science on plants and crops."
"never mind."
Zhang Yanping stepped back again and threw a freshly peeled white fungus into the basket.
"I almost got fooled by working with you guys every day. I came to the countryside just to avoid making progress!"
As a contemporary young person who has nothing to do with his parents' ambition, he really doesn't understand.
"I have a lot of connections and know a lot of good orchards. If I really want to start a fruit business, I can just hire someone to move the fruit and make a small program online, and I'll be responsible for the store operations. How easy!"
"My parents didn't want me to come in person, saying that this was the only way to make money."
"Oh, how much money is enough?"
Then Song Tan couldn't say this.
Anyway, she still wants to make more money. Not to mention that Qiao Qiao's subsequent education will cost a lot of money, just look at the old house at home, which was built when she was in the first grade!
Over the years, the wealthy families in the village have renovated their houses. Regardless of whether they live in them or not, having a country villa makes them look luxurious.
Her parents have been rooted here all their lives, their daughter has returned from the city, and their son is in this state... He must find a way to save face elsewhere.
This is the life of ordinary people, vain but real.
