Chapter 37 37. Fertilizing tea gardens
The red-haired aunt’s ability to carry goods is truly second to none.
Under her leadership, old customers also asked for three to five kilograms at will, while new customers even hesitated to take one or two kilograms.
So, when another group of customers saw the news and took the time to come over, they discovered—
“I’m only half an hour late, why is it gone?”
“That’s right, didn’t you say that everyone doesn’t like to eat milkvetch today and won’t buy it?”
"That's right! I just came here after hesitating for a long time. I originally planned to buy just one pound to try it, as a way to support the boss!"
Song Tan:? ? ?
There are still such crazy comments in the group?
She quickly turned on her mobile phone, and sure enough, many familiar avatars were talking about the unpopularity of Ziyun Ying, as if the business could no longer continue.
But when I clicked on WeChat to collect money, several people scanned the QR code to pay 180 yuan.
Song Tan: ...There are so many tricks in the world!
The customers also reacted, looking at her empty basket with tears in their eyes. Finally, their eyes moved to the cold milk vetch in Qiaoqiao's hand that had not had time to be tasted, and they were ready to move:
“What is this?”
Song Tan simply handed over the disposable chopsticks: "This is the unpopular milkvetch."
Several customers took a reserved taste with complicated emotions, and instantly burst into tears—
“Next time I believe they lie to me, I will be a puppy!”
Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up: “Woof woof woof!!”
Everyone was so excited that they had no choice but to finish the rest of the dishes with tears in their eyes, and then agreed to do a big shopping spree tomorrow morning, and then left reluctantly.
Song Tan: ...Not really.
As soon as they left, Song Tan quickly looked at the small basket of milkvetch on the back seat of the car: "Let's go, Qiao Qiao, to the express station."
I replied to the person from out of town that I have to send it to him.
…
Back home, Song Tan counted the money collected today and found that the total amount was two thousand yuan. He had received it without picking more today.
Ulan has gone from being in a trance to now accepting it calmly, and even started to plan the field:
“If you want to make money from this, don’t feed cows or pigs.”
Song Tan shook his head: "Mom, the main purpose of planting this is to fertilize the field. This field has not been cultivated for many years, so it must be tidied up."
“What’s more, milkvetch grows very fast. With so much land, we can’t sell it all, so there’s no need to be frugal.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Song Sancheng carrying a **** and preparing to go out. She looked at the gloomy sky that looked like it was about to rain: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Song Sancheng replied: "I went to dig a tea garden. When I went to the mountain that day, I found that the tea gardens at our house have begun to bud. The old leaves are green and shiny. I might as well apply some nitrogen fertilizer before it rains."
For fertilizing tea gardens, it is generally necessary to dig a shallow layer of the land before it rains and sprinkle the fertilizer.
Waiting for the rainwater to fall in this way is easy to absorb and will not burn the seedlings.
He said, with a bit of secret joy: "I think our earth spirit will taste better this year. We might as well pick more tea leaves, it will definitely taste good too!"
When he said this, Song Tan also thought of the old tea garden at home.
A few years ago, this tea could still be sold for some money. Later, as the Internet developed and marketing became more and more powerful, tea with no brand like theirs had little market.
So everyone left a few acres of tea gardens without much care and just drank it themselves every year. If you really want to make money, go out and work in the second half of the year.
At Song Tan's house, because of Qiao Qiao's condition, the couple felt sorry for their child and refused to take him to the factory, so they had to keep someone at home every year.
The moisture in the air is getting heavier, and there will definitely be another spring rain in the evening. Song Tan thinks of the slightly bitter but sweet taste of the tea leaves in his hometown, and he can't help but feel excited.
At this moment, he turned around and picked up a hoe: "Dad, let's work together." Song Sancheng deliberately stopped him: "This kind of hard work is for a girl like you..."
But when I turned around and thought about how hard-working a girl I was, carrying two large baskets at a time effortlessly, I couldn't help but fell silent again.
After thinking about it, he simply called his son: "Qiaoqiao, let's go to farm!"
Qiaoqiao rushed out: "Are you going to plant corn?"
…
Chashan is still quite far away from home.
You need to go around from the front to the back mountain, then climb the path of the back mountain, and then go to the other side of the back mountain to see the vast tea gardens.
A large area here belongs to the Song Tan family of course.
Song Sancheng looked at the green leaves and couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is good this year, and the late spring cold is not too cold. In previous years, there would be snow at this time, and the tea leaves would most likely be frozen."
As he spoke, he waved the **** and started digging a trench.
Song Tan really has no experience in fertilizing. Now that he has learned from others, he might as well start digging.
With every movement of his hands, a trace of aura is wrapped around the tea leaves on the left and right, row by row, column by column...
The sky is getting gloomier, as if it will rain soon.
Song Sancheng looked at the large area of land that he had quickly dug shallowly, and then looked at the place where Qiao Qiao had carefully spread it, and he couldn't help but be shocked -
“It digs so fast!”
It turns out that this tea garden has been around for a long time. If he waits until October to apply base fertilizer and digs deep trenches, it will take him more than a week!
But it has only been more than an hour now, and this is a big deal—even if it only requires a shallow dig without much force, it is not so efficient, right?
Experienced farmers can’t help but wonder:
“I’ve eaten a lot during this period. Could it be that I’m in good health? Why do I feel more energetic the more I work?”
Song Tan remained silent, pretending that it had nothing to do with the aura he had radiated.
Song Sancheng didn't think about her head at all. He just looked at the place where she dug and expressed surprise at the overly flexible **** he was wielding -
“Oh! You are really a farmer! Look at what you do, it’s fast and good!”
“Daughter, it seems that our family is still nourished by the soil and water. You see how much stronger you are!”
Qiao Qiao hummed and spread fertilizer behind the hoe, while sticking out her tongue at Song Sancheng: "Dad doesn't know how to farm, so slow!"
Song Sancheng also laughed: "I can grow corn better than you."
“Qiaoqiao, stop following your sister and just spread the word line by line.”
He has been busy recently, so he remembered it too late, and now he has missed the best season for fertilizing.
In addition, the rain seemed to have arrived half a day earlier than forecast, and it was too late to dig the soil.
I can only say that if you can dig a little more, just sprinkle the rest directly on the soil surface.
Turning his head to look at the tea garden, Song Sancheng couldn't help but sigh: "If we pick these four or five acres of tea carefully, we will be able to pick a hundred pounds of dry tea by the end of the spring tea."
“But there are so many things to do in spring, so I don’t have time to do them. It’s a pity.”
Farm work is really hard and not as easy as I described! Including tea picking.
Other.
