  Chapter 8 8. Zi vetch

  Song Sancheng frowned: "Are you planning to plant dozens of acres of rice?"

   Otherwise, wouldn’t it take so many milk vetch to gain weight, tens of catties? Zi vetch only uses five or six catties of seeds per acre of land.

  Now at the end of February, I still wear down jackets and cotton-padded jackets. After March, the temperature rises quickly. As long as there is no cold spring and the temperature difference between day and night is not so large, most crops can be grown.

  If you plant milk vetch, at least the end of April and May will be able to replant the ground again...it is okay, and the variety will not be delayed.

  According to Song Sancheng's farming experience, May is the most suitable month for planting in rural areas. Every March and April, there is a cold spring, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and seeds will be frozen to death when they germinate, which is not suitable.

   It's just that he was uncomfortable thinking about spending so much money 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 two bottom fields grow rice, and our family eats it by ourselves."

  Those two pieces of land add up to three or four acres, and now the rice output is high, enough for the family to eat, and some can be given to relatives and friends.

   No matter how much Song Tan there is, it is hard work to grow rice, so there is no more.

   Fish farming in rice fields can also be tried.

   "Plant milk vetch first in the other fields, and then I will plant vegetables when it gets warmer."

  Song Sancheng has no objection now: "Growing vegetables is good, and growing vegetables is easy to sell, and then you can sell them on the street by riding a three-wheeler." The cost is low, the harvest is fast, and it is easier than growing rice.

  Song Tan laughed: "Yeah, that's what I planned too." No wonder. How many people are there in the town?

   To go is also to go to the city.

  Actually, Song Tan thought about his work last night and had some other ideas—people like to watch pastoral videos nowadays to decompress and calm, but there are so many rural areas, how can they quickly catch the attention?

  Either beautiful or unique.

  Her hometown, Yunqiao Village, is really nothing special.

   In this way, we must focus on "beauty".

  Silver vetch has a short growth cycle, is solid and easy to grow, and blooms beautifully enough. When she shoots a video, the first shot will be to rely on the stretching vetch flower fields to attract traffic.

   Otherwise, with so many land and vegetables, when will it become a boutique?

  …

  At the end of February, there were not many people in the agricultural material store. Song Tan opened his mouth and asked for 70 catties of vetch seeds, and the boss was also very rare:

   "How much land do you plant? This raw seed is enough for five catties per mu of land, and this medicinal seed costs ten catties. The price is the same, 10 yuan per catty."

  The original seed is the original seed, which has not been processed.

  Medicated seeds are covered with anti-insect and disease-resistant medicines, which have good resistance.

  Song Tan thought to himself that I can’t grow spiritual plants for a hundred years in vain. There are still ways to repel insects, so he made a decisive choice:

   "I want the original seed!"

  In addition to milk vetch, other seeds have to be bought, such as vegetable seeds, from pakchoi with the shortest growth cycle, to peppers, eggplants and cucumbers that need seedlings...you must buy them well.

  The seeds sold locally may not be as complete as online, but for novices, the adaptability is the best. So when Song Tan bought it at the end, and spent more than 1,000 yuan, Song Sancheng's heart twitched.

  Song Tan is still asking!

   "Is there any rice seed? It should taste good."

  The boss looked at it: "Yes, this long-grain fragrance has a very good taste, and you can't buy it for ten yuan a catty. It's just that the yield is low, and the yield per mu is only a thousand or eight hundred catties."

  Song Tan couldn't help sighing—technology is productivity!

  In the realm of comprehension, those spiritual valleys that have not been optimized for hybridization, she has exhausted her energy, but the yield is only five or six hundred catties per mu.

   "How did you sell it?"

  The boss is also unambiguous: "This seed is expensive, 80 per catty, and two catties per mu of land."

   Four acres of land and eight catties of seeds, how expensive is it? Thinking of the delicious rice without impurities, Song Tan's saliva is about to come out:

"want!"

  …

   After spending 2,000 yuan on seeds, Song Sancheng took a puff of a cigarette and said earnestly:

   "Tan Tan, don't be in a hurry to buy things slowly, and it will be expensive to cultivate land later, you have to prepare a lot of money."

  The land cultivator needs additional rakes of different depths. If you buy them, you need to configure them separately. They are renting, but there is no such trouble.

  But their fields haven’t been plowed for many years, and the weeds and trees have to be cleaned up. One person needs 150 yuan a day. Seven plots of land were completed by a dozen people in one day, and another 2,000 yuan was lost.

  If you don’t invite people, it will waste time and affect their farming.

   Then you have to burn a fire in the field before you can plow the land. It can be planted after two days in the sun.

  Even though it’s a machine operation, the fields here can only be plowed at most five acres a day, and for fifteen acres, it takes three days and 1,500 yuan.

   There will be fertilizers and pesticides in the future... When Song Sancheng thought about the money spent, he felt that his daughter spent too much money!

   "You grow so many vegetables, do you have to build a greenhouse for raising seedlings? Doesn't it mean that you have to hire someone to dig the mountain? What are you going to do on the mountain?"

   After such a calculation, Song Tan is also a little numb.

  Before the start of work, the plan will be gone after tens of thousands of dollars.

  Song Tan made a decisive decision: "Dad, I won't dig on the mountain. I plan to grow black fungus and white fungus on the mountain. I will use the fungus from the oak tree on our mountain, so there is no need to clean up."

  There are many oak trees in their local area, also called chestnut trees. This kind of wood is strong and resistant to fire. Now Song Tan's family roasts this kind of wood.

   Of course, it is also a good material for black fungus and white fungus.

   It’s just that the strains are used to plant directly, which has not been seen for many years. In addition, the price of fungi for tree species has risen.

  Song Tan vaguely remembered that black fungus and white fungus were grown in this way at home when he was a child.

  As a result, every household planted it, but the agreed purchaser stopped coming. In the end, they had to dry it and store it at home, and ate it for several years.

  Song San became numb.

  —A kind of black fungus and white fungus?

  Then you are not allowed to cut down the tree and deal with the trunk? A tree trunk with a suitable thickness is cut down, and holes have to be punched one by one on it, and then filled with bacteria...

  Because of occupying space and low output, it has been gradually eliminated by the strain pack. But what Tan Tan said is also reasonable. Now I want to make a pure natural pollution-free one. It seems that the fungus pack looks like, regardless of whether there is pollution, anyway, it has a little less smell than the tree species.

  Song Sancheng sighed.

   But after thinking about it—forget it, anyway, there are a lot of oak trees planted, and the hills are crowded, so it would be better to cut some.

  It's better than spending money outside.

   Spend it, spend it, the money will be out of sight and out of sight!

  He muffled: "I'll ask the fungus seller."

  Song Tan felt guilty when she saw her father like this—because she also bought a computer and some accessories online last night, and spent 8,000 to ensure the efficiency of post-editing.

  However, the flowers are all gone.

  Song Tan struck while the iron was hot: "Dad, clean up the pigsty 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 was about to jump up: "You work so much, you want to exhaust me and your mother to death!"

  Thinking about the fact that pork is quite expensive now, I was actually quite emotional, so I calmed down again:

   "Now we can't build a pigsty in front of our house. The village says it will affect the appearance, and the firewood shed has to be tidied up."

  …

  …

  …

  [About cutting down trees, there are many hills in the countryside, and every household has them. Everyone’s tacit understanding is that if they are cut down, they must be planted, so don’t worry about cutting them all down. ]

  [There are scientific guidance on planting fungi in the forest, steady. The basswood white fungus we eat now is grown in this way, but it is assumed that there is no basswood here, and it is the same as using local trees. ]

  [About plant pictures, I am afraid that you will find it troublesome and didn’t put easter eggs. If you have pictures later, you can actively put them in this chapter. If you are interested, click to open it, if you are not interested, don't read it, it will not affect your reading. ]

  [If you have other questions, just ask in the comment area, and I will explain everything I can answer. Put the chapters in the free period, and try to put the words in the later period without taking up the word count. ]
