When An Zishan arrived home, he unexpectedly found that the family was actually there.The three of them sat on the kang and chatted while watching TV.An Zishan looked at the three of them curiously and shouted, "Dad, you got off work so early today?"
”An Jiaye smiled, seemed to be in a good mood, and said softly: "The project of our department has just ended, and we will leave work early tomorrow." ”"Oh, I said, it's only five o'clock, and you're home, why do you get off work so early?"
An Zishan smiled, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, "Dad, mother, the expert who came to the vegetable has arrived, people say that this semi-automation and mechanization can be done, but the area of our vegetable garden is too small, and the area needs to be expanded." ”"Well, it takes about a hundred acres.""
A hundred acres?!"
An Jiaye glared and exclaimed, "Why is it such a big place?"
At that time, more than 100 acres of land were landlords. ”"A hundred acres?"
This voice was Zhang Guiyun's, and I saw that under her shocked face, there was a pair of excited and eager eyes.An Zishan smiled, he knew his mother very well, she was a typical rural strong woman, she could do any job, and she did it better and faster than most male laborers.She wants to be strong, refuses to admit defeat, likes to do business, before An Zishan went to elementary school and did not plant a vegetable garden, she sold tofu, and rode a bicycle to the countryside to collect rags, and even went as far as Xijie Township.An Jiaye frowned, and said uneasily: "A hundred acres is too much, the risk is too great."
If this is a strong wind like the year before last or something, how much will it cost?
”Hearing An Jiaye say this, Zhang Guiyun also hesitated, and his face was gloomy and uncertain.The strong wind of the year before last was a nightmare and heart disease for the two of them, that year An Zishan had just been in junior high school for more than half a year, and for some reason the price of cucumbers was particularly high, and it lasted for a long time, so Zhang Guiyun discussed with An Jiaye, who happened to be at home, and planted ten acres of land with cucumbers.But cucumber seedlings need a shelf, the most commonly used is the adult index finger thickness of the bamboo pole, Anjiaye is more conservative, feel that planting so many cucumbers, the cost of bamboo poles is too high, but then I can't stand Zhang Guiyun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, or buy it.The whole ten acres of cucumbers and bamboo poles cost about 1,000 yuan, and when the cucumbers could climb the seedlings, they soaked in the vegetable garden almost every day, tore them into strips with the corn husks that had been soaked in water in advance, and tied the cucumber seedlings that had not been climbed to the bamboo poles.The rack of cucumber seedlings is tied together by four cucumber racks facing each other, and the four bamboo poles are tied together about 20 centimeters near the top of the bamboo pole to tie them into the shape of a pyramid.In this way, when the cucumber seedlings of ten acres of land had just climbed to the intersection of bamboo poles, when Zhang Guiyun and An Jiaye were looking forward to the big sale of cucumbers, a natural disaster came.People have good and bad luck, and the sky has unpredictable storms, and that night suddenly there was a torrential rain, and the wind was raging.The two people who rushed to the vegetable garden early the next morning were stunned and stupid, only to see that the cucumber shelves of ten acres of land were slapped on the ground by the storm and fell down in pieces.Large swaths of cucumbers were torn off by the wind, and many were even uprooted.At that time, the two of them sat paralyzed on the ground, their faces as white as paper, and Zhang Guiyun kept muttering, it's over, it's over, it's all over.And An Jiaye, who had been sitting for a long time, yelled at her angrily, "I said I wouldn't let you buy bamboo poles, I said don't plant so many cucumbers, but you just didn't listen."
What now, more than a thousand dollars!
”Zhang Guiyun didn't say a word, crying into tears, for a whole day, without eating or drinking, he rescued the cucumbers and dumped bamboo poles that still had hope of being saved in the vegetable garden, and finally was able to lift them up, and less than half of them were not broken.That blow made the two of them dare not invest rashly again, Zhang Guiyun is planting regular vegetables step by step every day, and there are all kinds of vegetables.It wasn't until three years later that the two invested for the second time to build a winter warming vegetable greenhouse, but they finally made up their minds to invest when more than a dozen vegetable farmers around them had built it.An Zishan knows all these things, but some very fine details are not clear, and he also knows what the concerns and worries of his parents are.Although An Jiaye has entered the Highway Bureau and has become a project manager, if he could take the risk of investing 1,000 before, now he may dare to take the risk of investing 10,000.Of course, this is a metaphor, and it is not very appropriate.At this time, An Ziliang withdrew his attention from the TV, and vaguely heard them talking about a hundred acres, and asked in surprise: "Mother, what are you talking about, what is a hundred acres?"
”However, no one responded to An Ziliang's question.After thinking for a moment, An Zishan smiled and said: "Dad, mother, why did it expand to 100 acres, what Uncle Zhang said and the experts said is based on science, and Uncle Zhang said that there is absolutely no problem with the sales channel, so we can make money."
As long as our dishes meet the requirements, we can't sell enough. ”Zhang Guiyun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Meet the requirements?"
What are the requirements?
”An Zishan said with a smile: "Pollution-free vegetables, now those large hotels and department stores and supermarkets in big cities require pollution-free vegetables."
Pollution-free means that the residue of pesticides on vegetables is standard and cannot be exceeded. ”Zhang Guiyun glared, "Can't you use pesticides in the future?"
”"You can fight, but you can fight less.Let me give you an example, for example, if you spray pesticides ten times, there may be a drop of pesticide left on the dish, but the standard required by people is that the pesticide residue on the dish cannot exceed half a drop. ”"Do you understand?"
An Zishan asked with a smile."
Doesn't that mean I can only take five doses, what if I can't be cured?
If the food doesn't die, how can you eat it when the food dies?
What kind of requirement is this, there is no food to eat in such a request, right?
”Zhang Guiyun asked with a puzzled expression.An Zishan stroked his forehead, a little melancholy, and it was a little difficult to tell his mother about these scientifically planted things."
Mother, so the experts in the vegetable capital said that there are other ways to control pests and diseases in the vegetable capital, and there is no need to use pesticides.For example, Uncle Wang told me, huh?
That Uncle Wang is an expert in Caidu, and his surname is Wang.He told me that they use plant ash to control aphids. ”Zhang Guiyun was stunned, and said suspiciously: "Grass and wood ash preparations?
Bottom ash?
”An Zishan nodded busily, and praised with a smile: "Well, it's the bottom of the pot, the old lady is so smart." ”Zhang Guiyu glared and reprimanded, "Get out, little rabbit cub, give me eye medicine for my mother."
Don't think I don't understand, how can the ash at the bottom of the pot cure aphids?
”An Zishan rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Mother, that's science, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it can't do it."
Uncle Wang said that the plant ash preparation is soaked in 10 kg of plant ash and 50 kg of water for more than 24 hours per mu, and then filtered out and sprayed with filtrate to treat aphids. ”Zhang Guiyun exclaimed: "So powerful?
After that, I didn't use pesticides, so I saved money!
”An Zishan was speechless, mother, your focus is really special.Are we talking about saving money?
An Zishan smiled patiently: "Dad, mother, do you understand, Uncle Wang of the Caidu said that the Caidu side uses this similar method to treat pests and diseases, so their vegetables do not have so many pesticides, they are healthy and safe, and people in big cities like to eat them." ”"You see, the cucumbers we grow for pesticides can be sold for three yuan a catty, and the cucumbers grown by others can be sold for five yuan a catty.That's the money, right?
Is it necessary to learn their technique?
”An Jiaye and Zhang Guiyun looked at each other, silent, and began to settle accounts in their hearts.An Zishan didn't urge, and looked at them with a smile.After a long time, An Jiaye raised his head and glanced at Zhang Guiyun first, and the light in the other party's eyes was clearly reflected in his eyes.He said in a deep voice: "Xiaoshan, according to what you say, this thing is capable. ”Zhang Guiyun also nodded excitedly, she has a strong interest in growing vegetables, she likes to study, but no one teaches her, now not only has someone taught, but also can learn money-saving techniques, her heart is excited.However, An Jiaye's next sentence made her worried: "Our family only has ten acres of land now, if you count the dozen or so households around, there will be one hundred acres, but will they agree?"
”Zhang Guiyun said with a bitter face: "If it were me, I wouldn't agree, it's hard to take care of the vegetable garden!"
”An Zishan smiled and said: "I have thought about this question, you don't have to worry, I have a way to get them to agree." ”
