Chapter 820 820.Drinking
Because of this matter, Song Tan thought about it for a long time while eating.
There are actually no big shortcomings in their Yunqiao Village. But it's mediocre in every aspect, with nothing outstanding.
The climate is average, with four distinct seasons throughout the year, with spring and cold and snow in winter, and it is normal for the summer heat to reach 40 degrees Celsius.
The territory is flat, with neither vast plains nor steep peaks. Instead, plains, hills, mountains, and high slopes are distributed irregularly.
Even the water and soil are the same. There is neither continuous sandy soil nor fertile black soil. There are rivers, lakes, ponds and streams...
Just like those middle-class students in every class, they are neither as stable as the front row nor as roomy for improvement as the poor students. They focus on one thing but have no characteristics.
Because of this, if my uncle and aunt want to make money in the countryside, they can’t just rely on their family. They have to go out to work. If you don’t want to work part-time, you must learn a skill.
Just like what she had planned for Wu Lei, he would not suffer any loss if he learned the techniques of raising cattle and sheep.
In this case, let’s go back and ask the engineering team if they can build a small dormitory over there? The requirements are not high, it can accommodate four or five people.
She kept this in mind, and when she turned around, she found that wine had already begun to be touched on the table.
It was a small wine bottle. When pouring wine into the extremely small wine cup, everyone still used their hands to protect it, as if this would prevent the wine from splashing out and wasting.
Look at grandpa and grandpa clinking glasses.
One said: "What are you doing back home? How can two people eat as well as a big family like ours? It's your age to enjoy happiness. Don't worry so much about your children. You can just live here."
The other one said: "Brother, you are telling me that there are so many empty rooms on this floor of Tantan reserved for you two. Why don't you come and stay?"
Finally, the two of them sighed together: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse! Come on, come on, let's go!"
Looking over here, the seventh cousin was clinking glasses with Jiang Xiaokang.
He is not a very good drinker, and after just two gulps, tears already appeared in his eyes:
"Xiao Kang, I watched you when you were just a little tall. Your master's skills are not as good as mine. But there is one thing I admire about him. He has good taste!"
Where has Jiang Xiaokang ever drank such good wine?
Mainly because the doctor had repeatedly warned him not to drink anymore. He held his small cup, which was a little bigger, and sipped it delicately, as if he could drink through the taste.
He was not convinced after hearing this: "Master Song, your craftsmanship is good, and my master's craftsmanship is not bad at all... drink slowly, drink slowly!"
Looking at Party Secretary Xiao Zhu again, she was drinking with Professor Song with a cup in hand. Her cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes were bright:
“Professor Song, I have to give you a toast! Song Tan said that the ecological planning on the mountain was all done by you. I went to see it and it was very good!”
“I heard that you are going back, so I will definitely come here next year! After the New Year, the appearance of our village will definitely be very different, and we will be short of talents like you!”
Professor Song also waved his hands slightly drunk: "I didn't do anything, it's because the soil and water here are good - I don't want to leave so quickly. Tantan said that they would trim the branches of their fruit trees and graft them to the villagers... I have to keep an eye on it... Don’t waste it…”
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, was instantly pleasantly surprised!
…
Song Tan was right. The drink was not as strong as at the beginning. After drinking it, he fell asleep until the next day.
Probably because everyone exercised restraint, everyone stayed tipsy and slept for a short while in the afternoon. At four or five o'clock, Jiang Xiaokang, who had just recovered from a serious illness and drank the least, woke up first and started drinking without saying a word. Back to the mountain in a hurry.
—Ah, the workers are still waiting for him to cook at night!
"Song Tan," she asked: "While eating, I heard Professor Song say that your fruit trees need to be pruned and grafted to the villagers? Are you planning to let the whole village grow your kind of fruit?" "
She asked hurriedly and then nodded quickly: "What a great idea! Just like the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, first launch the brand, then use a small amount of high-quality products to gain reputation, and finally drive the circulation of hairy crabs across the country..." Song Tan: ...If you don't say it, I really didn’t think that far ahead.
but…
“It’s unrealistic.” She interrupted.
“How much money has been invested in promoting the overall brand of Yangcheng Lake, and how many crab farmers are supporting it?”
“Where am I?”
“If nothing else, banks provide low-interest loans to farmers. Do you think they dare to plant two acres of fruit trees?”
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, was instantly stuck.
They are most afraid of debt, let alone low-interest loans and interest-free loans.
The weather has become more and more extreme in recent years, with droughts and floods all over the country, and hail in July and August... In this case, farmers are asked to invest in land?
If something goes wrong, who will bear their livelihood?
Moreover, even if the fruit trees are planted, there will still be many follow-up questions - such as how to prohibit farmers from selling low prices to compete for customers, and how to prevent them from collecting money for picking green trees in advance to protect their reputation?
Finally, when purchasing in large quantities, can they put aside the mentality of taking advantage and focus on quality?
Each of these tasks is difficult, but Party Secretary Xiao Zhu is not afraid.
She just lost the first step.
Farmers have no money and dare not make large investments, even if the investment may only be tens of thousands of yuan.
But the more you dare not fight hard, your life will always be in a state of lack of money.
This is an endless cycle.
“Okay, okay.” She sighed: “Then are you going to graft the fruit trees in front of their house?”
Song Tan shook his head: "Do you remember Tian Tian who worked here before? She dared to think and work hard...No, she told me when summer came, and she would come back to help prune branches, and then give her own chestnut trees Graft it.”
Their chestnut production here is okay, but it has no characteristics, the price is too low, and it is too labor-intensive, so it cannot be sold at a high price.
But once the road back is repaired, her chestnut tree has been exposed to spiritual energy for the longest time, and its branches have strong vitality. After grafting, not to mention the taste will be drastically improved, but it will definitely be greatly improved.
Not to mention anything else, one kilogram can be sold for two yuan more, and she can make money every day by taking a car to the city and selling it in bulk.
Even if the fruit tree degenerates in two years, it will be re-grafted at worst!
What's more, in addition to chestnuts, she also asked Professor Song for advice, bought more than twenty peach trees, and planted them on the hillside in front of and behind the house, letting her parents take care of them...
Next year, if nothing else, Lao Zhao can take it directly.
Taking it slowly year by year, although the pace is a bit slow, it is suitable for the situation where they have patients in their family and do not want to bear foreign debt anymore.
Update 4. There are a bunch of blank documents in the manuscript box, and my heart is really numb.
You've already had dinner...well, there's still one more update, I can definitely do it before going to bed.
Grafting will not be done so frequently as the trees’ excellent genes will be stable in a few years. In the early stage, time is short and there is nothing we can do.
