Chapter 172 172.Double-cropping rice
While picking tea, Ulan 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 growing double-cropping rice here!”
Song Tan actually didn’t think about it well.
It is only the beginning of April, and these strong seedlings have been planted. By the end of June, the rice will definitely be harvested.
If you are rushing to plant another season of rice at this time, the time is just right.
But if they cut the rice, tidy up the land, and plant more vegetables, they would definitely earn more money.
After all, 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 close to three acres and can produce about 3,000 jins of rice and about 2,000 jins of rice.
Two thousand kilograms sounds like a lot, but according to her father's appetite, when this rice was not very effective, he would have to eat more than two hundred kilograms a year. Nowadays, everyone in the family can show off three bowls at a meal. One person per year still needs 600 kilograms of rice, right?
But their family of four can consume all this rice in a year.
Not to mention having to hire people to do the cooking and work from time to time, as well as Zhang Yanping and Seventh Cousin...
After Song Tan made this calculation, he made a decision in his heart:
“Yes, I plan to grow double-cropping rice.”
“After all, the rice produced by these two fields is not enough for us to eat for a year, so we might as well plant two crops of rice.”
Ulan complained a little bit: "If you plant two crops of rice, you need to fertilize. Why do you never fertilize your fields?"
The head of the family still knows whether to buy urea and fertilizer at home.
Song Tan opened his mouth and said:
“Yes, the imported organic fertilizer is too expensive, so I can’t bear to show it to you...Don’t use anything else. Don’t you just want to be safe when eating now?”
“Besides, with the use of chemical fertilizers and urea every year, the land is so hardened that the soil can no longer support people.”
Isn’t this nonsense?
Ulan almost rolled his eyes—
Everyone knows that the more fertilizer is used on the land, the greedier it becomes, and the more fertilizer is used, the more greedy it becomes, but the worse it gets, the more fertilizer it needs. This is a vicious cycle.
But if you want to make a living by farming, you still need it.
The things in the fields are really good this year.
But Wulan thought about the good vegetables he had eaten this year, which had not yet reached the fields. At this moment, he glanced at Song Tan suspiciously: "Have you used all the wild vegetables, bamboo and bamboo?"
“When? Where did it come from? Why didn’t I see it?”
Alas, one lie needs a thousand to make up for it.
But it won’t work if you don’t make up for it.
Every household in the village has a field, and only their own things grow well. If you keep it a secret from outsiders, you won't even be able to come up with a reason, and something bad will happen sooner or later.
Song Tan said confidently: "It's used."
"The amount of concentrated fertilizer is not large. One milliliter is enough for one of our fields. But it is too precious. They are not sold to us abroad. I am afraid that others will hear about it and something will happen."
Where is this fertilizer? This is clearly an elixir!
Ulan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly ordered: "Then you have to find out clearly whether this can be used here? Doesn't Douyin say that many foreign flowers and plants are not allowed to be brought here?"
Oops, Ms. Wulan now also has the concept of species invasion, Song Tan is very pleased!
At this moment, I patted my chest and promised: "Don't worry, it's okay. We also have them in the scientific research bases in our country, but we don't order takeout. The cost is too high. I have spent a lot of effort, otherwise I would be so anxious to make money..."
It's okay, let's just deal with it like this for now, you have to give a reason.
But this also reminded her to order a beautiful bottle online when she gets back.
Now...
This lack of spiritual energy makes me cry just talking about it. Ulan, on the other hand, was dubious and seemed to understand.
But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other possible explanation other than this, right?
But just after watching the live broadcast, Ulan found that he really didn't understand these young people's stuff. Maybe... this concentrated fertilizer is like this?
Since the family's livelihood was involved, she quickly warned, "Okay, okay, stop talking, just think of it as a reward from the land master. The things in the fields are growing well this year."
Humbling unwillingly: "I just told you, how can you be better at farming than me..."
The senior farmers finally became stubborn.
After finishing the business, Wu Lan muttered again: "Qiao Qiao is not in the camera, what are you looking at? They are here, hurry up, pick more tea leaves, this is the real money."
What kind of tea to pick? After two lifetimes, Song Tan still remembered the pain of picking tea, and now he hurriedly carried the empty basket.
“I’ll go see Qiaoqiao and let him show his face.”
After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.
Ulan was really furious—
This is the most profitable one, why doesn’t everyone want to come and pick tea? Could this be more tiring than digging mountains?
…
Song Tan returned to the chestnut forest.
Qiaoqiao went from one side of the Tremella stick to the other, and now she is back in front of the camera.
He has never learned anything about white fungus, so he won't talk nonsense now, but just silently cuts one after another with a small bamboo knife.
I am still counting in my mouth, but I keep getting distracted every time I count, so that even after a long time, I still haven’t collected a hundred flowers.
Zhang Yanping, on the other hand, didn't want to appear on camera, so he shrank to the other side of the camera. When he saw Song Tan coming, he couldn't help but ask: "You think, if I broadcast a live broadcast in the countryside, would it be so popular?"
This Qiaoqiao’s road to success is too simple!
Song Tan chuckled. She was so beautiful in her last video, but the traffic didn't favor her. This shows that it's not easy to make money in any industry.
“Brother Yanping, I support you in making videos, but have you decided on what content to make?”
Qiaoqiao followed this pattern because of her special mind. It was a combination of circumstances.
But Zhang Yanping is a good young man. If he wants to live broadcast something, he must have some content.
Song Tan also came up with an idea: "How about you write a copy and do a humanistic science popularization of plants and crops from wild vegetables and fields in the countryside."
"never mind."
Zhang Yanping stepped back again and now threw a freshly cut white fungus into the basket.
“I work with you every day, and I almost got fooled. I came to the country just to escape progress!”
As a contemporary young man, he does not understand the ambition of his parents.
“I have a lot of connections and I know a lot of good orchards. If you really want to do a fruit business, hire someone to move and lift it, and make a small program online, and I will be responsible for the operation of the store. How easy it is!”
“My parents didn’t, and they had to let me do it in person, saying that this is how I can make money.”
“Oh, how much money is enough?”
Then Song Tan has nothing to say.
Anyway, she still wants to make more money. Not to mention that Qiaoqiao’s follow-up education will cost a lot of money, but the old house at home was built when she was in the first grade!
Over the years, wealthy families in the village have renovated their houses. Regardless of whether they are liveable or not, having a country villa looks luxurious.
Her parents have been rooted here all their lives, their daughter has returned to the hometown from the city, and her son is in such a state... he must find a way to make up for himself elsewhere.
This is the life of ordinary people. Although it is vain, it is also real.
It seems that monthly passes will be doubled tomorrow. If you haven’t collected enough monthly passes yet, go to Fei10 to get one! She's done!
If you go and read the book and buy some goods if you are satisfied, you can bring the tickets back with you...
