Chapter 876 876. Saga Snow Rabbit, True Red Meiling
With the support of money, the speed of building a greenhouse is really fast!
Several people in the village helped with the work, and several people helped plow the land and prepare fertilizer, and everyone was busy.
But for people who build tents, speed is a matter of course.
After all, people started building their greenhouses in September, and even earlier in July and August. It's good for the old Song family. They waited until the temperature cooled down before coming... If he doesn't rush the work, who will rush the work?
Professor Song is more anxious than building a greenhouse.
During this period, you have to look for seedlings everywhere, from fruits to vegetables, and you have to carefully select varieties according to the conditions. In addition, there are reports within the industry this autumn that there are many fake seed companies that are harming farmers...
He must not be too cautious!
After all, fake seeds cannot be seen right after they are planted, and they cannot be detected until harvest. At that time, the weather will be delayed, and the farmers' hard work for a year will be wasted.
This is what they are most afraid of when they are engaged in agriculture!
As for the opportunity given to Song Tan this time, there has never been an example of small farms crowding in in the past, so of course we must be more cautious.
It’s a pity that it’s still a little late. For example, for Song Tanti's strawberries, normal strawberry growers start preparing for greenhouse sowing and planting in August and September...
It’s great now, it’s November!
There is no hope for sowing seeds - A novice has no hope for sowing seeds. Fortunately, he knows many bases, and it is no problem to evenly distribute some nutrients in the pot.
No, I carefully selected two distinctive strawberries and asked my former students to help them pack and send them out. This is when I finally settled down.
Once the strawberry seedlings are sent over and successfully planted, they will probably start to grow stolons, which will make up for the time gap to some extent.
He urged her three times a day, which made Song Tan anxious. He couldn't wait for Brother Zhang to deliver the seedlings, so he drove to pick them up as soon as the goods arrived.
Professor Song is still telling Song Tan:
“I’ve sent you two kinds of seedlings. The origins of the varieties are both island countries—but don’t have any ideas. In fact, there is still a big gap between us in terms of independent varieties.”
“Furthermore, our country has a vast territory and rich resources, and oranges grow in Huainan and Huaibei. We must also pay attention to regional differences. Some local varieties with good reputation in the market are not suitable.”
He was speaking in voice, and Song Tan listened silently, remembering each one in his mind - Professor Song actually didn't have to give so many instructions, so how could he tell him what to do? After all, who is the professional and who listens to whom? She never goes against the professionals in this regard.
It’s not like you’re stupid!
The voice messages are played one by one—
"The bigger seedling in that box is a white strawberry. The flesh is white and the seeds are red. It is very beautiful. When it is ripe, a slight pink will appear in the white. It is called Saga Snow Rabbit. It can also be called Angel No. 7, Shang Xuezhi. kind of.”
“I choose this one for you. Firstly, its fruits are relatively large, with an average weight of more than 35g. Secondly, its winter fruits are relatively hard, making it easy to transport and place.”
Song Tan understands this.
Strawberries are very precious things. You can't store them after picking them. They will become soft and rotten if they are touched. If it weren't for this characteristic, she would have started to plant strawberries long ago.
However, the most important thing about the fruit is that it tastes good, right?
For example, the Saga Snow Rabbit arranged by Professor Song, he described it as very fragrant, sweet and unique, even with a hint of peach and apple...
Song Tan: ...just, can’t strawberry just taste like strawberry?
But this is not certain. The taste of fruit has a lot to do with the growing environment. Anyway, it just needs to be delicious, durable and able to be transported.
After all, she has some abilities now, which can be used for transportation and preservation, but she always feels that she is at a big loss.
“The other half is Zhenhong Meiling. The fruit of this one is not that big, but the sugar content is very high, reaching more than 14. It is also hard, and the black and red color is very distinctive. Both are relatively expensive strawberries.”
“Tan Tan, I think planting this type of plant there will be more attractive in the early stage.”
The reason why I say it was the beginning... Because Song Tan thought that if no one noticed, she would pick a strawberry at the venue and crush it. When the juice was dripping and the aroma was so fragrant, she couldn't believe that no one would come to see it... Of course, she pretended to be a pig and ate it. The plot of the tiger only exists in her imagination, because she still doesn’t know how to select the candidates.
At the moment, while driving, I am thinking about:
Before I leave, I will start to cover the roof of the greenhouse and lay down the insulation layer, or wait until I get the seedlings and go back, and the ground should be leveled.
When the time comes, cover it with silver-black mulch to prevent insects and promote growth, and then plant seedlings.
Hands of strawberry in two parts of the land, if the seedlings are planted in nutritious pots, only one thousand can be planted, and the number of strawberries reaching the sky will not exceed one thousand two...
Eating at home and sending it to the election is enough!
Oops, the strawberry that Qiao Qiao misses so much, I don’t know how to be happy now! When she took the box back, it was so high that Qiao Qiao could plant two of them with her own hands!
I thought about things along the way, and they were all pretty good.
Just when he arrived in the town, Song Tan stared at the two tall and strong boxes. At this moment, everyone was numb.
Professor Song didn’t say the box was so big!
But think about it, Professor Song arranged to prepare 600 seedlings of each variety to prevent loss, a total of 1,200 seedlings, and they are not small plug seedlings, so they should be divided into two large boxes.
No wonder Brother Zhang called to ask if it was urgent. If not, he would deliver it slowly tomorrow... He couldn't fit this thing into his van!
Song Tan looked around the box, opened it and inspected it, and found that there were five layers in the box. They had to be separated to prevent collisions and squeezes. They were packed one by one with special flower divider boxes, which was really tight.
Just looking at the appearance, I thought it came with two large double-door refrigerators.
To be honest, the seedling fee and shipping cost of this variety of seedlings are enough to prohibit ordinary farmers.
Now that the two boxes were next to each other, Song Tan was silent for a moment and had to lift them onto the pickup truck one by one—
The pickup truck is great! Really useful! Next time I buy a car, buy a pickup truck!
Next, she will come to pick up pepper seedlings, Huning edamame seedlings, cucumbers and tomatoes...
His!
It’s going to be a busy few days again!
…
And in the distant Jiangcheng, boss Chang almost burst into tears when he called Zhang Yanping every day and heard that his family was working on a greenhouse!
“I knew it!” he murmured:
“Hard work pays off, as long as you give enough money, the greenhouse will be built sooner or later...”
Boss Chang has a beautiful fantasy, and now he happily begins to study the New Year’s Eve dinner and VIP gift boxes!
After all, there are greenhouses here. Aren’t there all kinds of fruits and vegetables for the Chinese New Year? His big gift box needs to be made more sincerely and decently, right?
Update 4.
Regarding strawberries, I have never grown them in a greenhouse, so I will not write down the planting process in detail to avoid misleading everyone.
Knowledge about strawberry varieties and other information comes from [Craftsman Feiyu], and there are videos on station b.
Our country is a big fruit country, but it is not a fruit power. Many good varieties come from abroad, such as Japan.
Even the Xuwen pineapples that we thought were domestically produced are actually from the Philippines. We still have a long way to go in this regard. [CCTV Agricultural Report]
The strawberry base in a county near my home has a variety of red varieties. To be honest, they are not very delicious.
There should be more, this month’s highs and lows are worth tens of thousands, right?
