Chapter 541 541.Old leaves
Professor Song thought for a while: "How much budget can you have?"
Song Tan hesitated for a while: "It should be about 1.5 million?"
This is basically Taoyuan’s entire income.
There was income from the Chestnut Garden, but she had to prepare to repay the village loan at the end of the year, so she ruled it out first.
She thought that the amount of money was quite small. After all, for such a large area, it would cost a lot of money just for preliminary preparations... She never thought that Professor Song nodded: "It's good, the funds are quite sufficient."
Song Tan:? ? ?
“Really?” She was a little doubtful.
"real."
Professor Song looked at the land in front of him: "Isn't it just over 300 acres? Including the river beach, the construction cost will be 500 acres - do you know how much land I had in my last project? 3,000 acres."
“3,000 acres, it only cost more than 1 million in the first year.”
Of course, there will be continuous improvement and follow-up every year, as well as subsequent maintenance.
But in comparison, the land in front of us is really nothing... To put it in perspective, with such an area, Professor Song would never have come here at all. But I have been asked to ask for it over and over again, so it’s not a loss if I have to go there—
Now that I think about it, the other party must have eaten something from this place too!
It’s really not a loss!
Professor Song also said: In fact, in order to maximize profits, it is definitely better to plant all the same crops. It is convenient for management, and labor and other things can also be arranged as a whole.
Such a hammer and a stick are a lot of trouble in terms of procedures, and the cost will undoubtedly increase.
But there is nothing we can do.
Everyone’s request is to give priority to supplying goods to the family.
Professor Song made some calculations in his mind: "If you want to open up wasteland, the biggest cost in the early stage is water, electricity, and roads."
“The price of electricity is fixed. This place is not big, so it’s not much more.”
“It’s even simpler with water.”
“Didn’t I say that the mountains were not watered on purpose before? It proves that there are abundant water resources below. As long as there is no drought, there is basically no need to worry about it at other times.”
The initial investment includes pond cleaning, river beach cleaning, water source development on the mountain, and subsequent pipeline construction costs.
There is one thing to say: farming in rural areas does not mean building courtyards in cities. There is no need to consider burying water pipes underground. Cheap hoses can be installed in a large roll for a thousand yuan.
Furthermore, the water source developed here is not necessarily for use, but to prepare for emergencies.
Even if that's not enough, there are still river beaches and ponds a little further away, which require multiple electric pumps.
The biggest leader is building roads.
After all, roads leading to every village can be funded by the government, and roads leading to back mountains can also wait for policy support.
But if different things are to be planted in this back hill, a few more roads will need to be built to accommodate tricycles.
As for other subdivisions, even building simple steps takes a lot of effort.
As he spoke, he gestured. Although the route has not been given yet because the water source has not yet been determined, it is already quite detailed.
“As for the planning of the next planting mix, we have to wait until everything else is decided before finalizing this.”
This is the most important thing for him to come here.
…
Song Tan probably understood.
Looking at the three students who were following silently behind them, they also looked thoughtful.
"Okay." She agreed: "Let's look at the water source first, and then make a plan. Once the plan is done, I'll hire someone to start the work."
“It’s just that Professor Song, if you have time, why don’t you stay a little longer? Otherwise, my place is remote and it will be too troublesome for you to travel back and forth if I want to communicate later.”
What? !
Professor Song raised his brows and almost smiled, but he held it back with great difficulty.
"Yes, yes, yes! We have time! It's summer vacation now." "What do you mean? Only summer vacation? When is it not a vacation when we are doing this?"
There is also Yan Ran, she has already picked up her mobile phone: "I will ask someone to send my belongings - does the courier here have to go to the town to pick it up?"
"No need." Song Tan shook his head: "My family still delivers goods every day."
Even though the goods are scarce now, it has become a habit for Brother Zhang to come here every day to eat an egg today and drink a bowl of white fungus soup tomorrow. He is willing to make this trip just for an order...
“Just bring the courier over when the time comes.”
Besides, I won’t be free for long.
She motioned to everyone to listen to the roar of machines in the distance: "I am cutting tea leaves on the mountain. When the tea leaves are harvested, my seventh cousin plans to prepare some tea egg marinade at home and sell it in the store."
…
So, Zhou Maozhu had only been idle for two days, and was about to pack up all the things for making tea, when he saw Song Sancheng coming over carrying a basket of old leaves:
“Mao Zhu, do you think my leaves can be fried?”
Zhou Maozhu:…
His eyes widened: "Sancheng, what are you talking about?! These leaves have become like this, how can they be fried?"
“My tea target is turned around in the pot, and the dry leaves must not be crushed into pieces!”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s broken into pieces.”
Song Sancheng waved his hand.
Originally, it was broken into pieces to make marinade, so that it could be easily packaged and shipped.
"No." Zhou Maozhu couldn't earn this money anymore: "Look at my pot. How big is the pot usually used for frying buds? If you fry these old leaves, grab a handful at a time, what will I get from your basket? when?"
"not to mention…"
He looked at Song Sancheng suspiciously: "Aren't all the tea leaves you cut on the mountain fried like this?"
Song Sancheng smiled.
Zhou Maozhu:…
…
Song Sancheng took a walk around and came back with a basket. It happened that Wulan stopped picking tea and was cleaning up at home with Aunt Lianhua. Seeing this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes:
“I told you not to bother... why are you asking someone to roast tea leaves? It’s so sunny, why don’t you just put it outside in the yard to bask in the sun?”
Song Sancheng was a little short of breath: "After all, we are using old leaves. I think there are many steps involved in frying them, so they will definitely be more fragrant than drying them..."
The seventh cousin was peeling garlic. He didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "No need to fry it. The tea eggs I had before were made from old leaves that haven't dried yet. I haven't seen you eat less."
“Just dry it in the sun, it will definitely smell good.”
“If you still don’t worry, you can set the roasting room on fire and roast the leaves in it.”
“Forget it!”
Song Sancheng left as soon as possible—the weather was 38 or 9 degrees, and he went to the grill?
Forget it, he'd better go fishing for water chestnuts!
Ulan shouted a few more words: "Catch more, and then feed the pigs with water and grass. It's hot, and they won't be able to eat anymore."
Unexpectedly, Song Sancheng turned back again: "Then I'll go to my dad's first. He said that when we were making straw mats, a lot of rushes turned yellow and the stalks were too strong to be used... I'll take them over and lay them in the pig pen."
Today is daytime! !

YTT Taotao, ancient farming essay "My live broadcast room connects the past and present"
Introduction: Grandma takes her granddaughter through ancient times. How the old and the young survive becomes the primary problem.
Fortunately, I have a modern live broadcast room. The camera is on my granddaughter. Wherever she looks, the picture will be there. This is destined that the young girl is only qualified to be an assistant, and grandma is the chosen anchor.
In the beginning, the grandfather and grandson live broadcasted live without having enough to eat or wear warm clothes. They sweated and broke their clothes. They tightened their belts and scolded and fought in the street. They went wherever there was excitement just to get an extra bite of food.
Later on, it got really great. The grandfather and grandson also broadcast live broadcasts of ancient floods, military disasters, and banditry, as well as infrastructure construction. They built high walls and stockpiled grain to build their own beautiful homes with their own hands.
In ancient times, the grandfather and grandson, who started from scratch, worked hard and became the strongest heroines on their own.
