Chapter 296 High-quality Vegetable Seeds
Lan Xin and Duan Jiefu reached a cooperation agreement, using a total of 53 acres of land and 700 yuan to build a vegetable greenhouse.
Originally, more than half of the villagers planned to build a vegetable greenhouse together, but when they heard that it would cost several hundred yuan to build a vegetable greenhouse, they began to hesitate.
So in the end, more than a dozen families changed their minds and decided not to build vegetable greenhouses. Those who had originally said they wanted to build greenhouses on two or three acres of land changed their minds to building one acre of land.
Fortunately, the quantity was not small. After Duan Jiefu looked at the terrain, he asked all the villagers to come to his door to bargain and he managed to reduce the price difference by 100 yuan.
But looking at how happy Brother-in-law Duan looks, he can also make a lot of money.
This way everyone is happy.
The villagers were even happier when they heard that Lan Xin and her colleagues had bought the latest high-quality vegetable seeds from the university.
They surrounded Lan Xinlan and Fucai and talked at once, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"What is a high-quality vegetable seed? Is it the kind that a handful of peanuts can produce half an acre of land?"
"Tomatoes can still be grown as tall as trees."
"These high-quality vegetable seeds must be better than their ordinary vegetable seeds. They must be more expensive, right? Can they be sold at 1 yuan per pound?"
Lan Xin: "..."
Lan Fucai: “…”
These are vegetable seeds, not wishing wells!
The two began to explain to the villagers what the new high-quality vegetable varieties were like, such as their cold-resistance, fewer insects, easy germination, beautiful appearance, delicious taste, and low fat content, among other advantages.
After hearing what Lan Xin and the others said, the villagers felt a little disappointed, but they were all experienced farmers and knew how good such strong vegetable varieties were.
They stopped daydreaming and asked about the vegetable varieties according to conventional logic. After some comparison, they realized how much better these high-quality vegetable varieties were than the ones they were growing now.
An innocent smile appeared on that simple face, and this time it was real, unlike the vague daydreams just now.
Finally, Lan Xin solemnly introduced fruit seeds to everyone, "These high-quality seeds are not only vegetable seeds, but also seeds of rare fruits such as strawberries and blueberries. Correspondingly, these high-quality seeds will be a little more expensive than ordinary seeds, but the selling price will also be higher than ordinary vegetables and fruits."
Fruits like strawberries and blueberries are of course a little more difficult to grow than vegetables, but the market is small, the audience is wide, and they can be sold at a higher price.
Lan Xin still prefers to grow strawberries and blueberries, but the villagers shook their heads hesitantly when they heard about it, thinking that these fruits are not so easy to grow.
They are better at growing vegetables and are more familiar with it.
"It's okay. You can choose seeds according to your needs. For this planting, I hope everyone can discuss and try to plant the same type of crops on one acre of land per household. This way, the harvest will be large and the price will be higher."
Lan Xin said to the villagers.
In the future, the vegetables in the greenhouse will certainly not be rotated like now, with you picking these vegetables from your vegetable garden today and I picking these vegetables from my vegetable garden tomorrow. Every family's vegetable garden is full of various varieties, but once the number increases, it will not be enough.
After all, this vegetable garden was originally only used to supply our own food, so of course it would be better to plant some.
Fanxing now hopes that everyone can change their mindset, and that the vegetables grown in the greenhouse are not for their own consumption but for sale.
Large-scale planting will be less troublesome and more profitable.
After hearing Lan Xin's words, the villagers began to chatter and argue again.
Although it seems very simple, your family grows tomatoes and my family grows cabbages, but the villagers are not stupid. They know that tomatoes are easy to sell and have a high price, and cabbages have a large yield and grow fast.
The financial gap between them is quite large.
Although they used to be a loving and harmonious village, when it came to financial interests, everyone ignored the fact that they were relatives or villagers and started arguing over a few dollars.
Before they had even decided who would grow what vegetables, they had another matter to discuss. Originally, they were just discussing building a vegetable greenhouse, but that group of people were involved, and the whole village was involved.
Because winter is coming soon, it takes time to build a greenhouse, and it also takes time to reclaim the wasteland and fertilize it, so the villagers plan to tidy up the existing vegetable fields and build a greenhouse on them.
However, building this greenhouse requires a large area, not just the area of the vegetable field, but also a wide and flat area around it.
Plus, this vegetable greenhouse cost a lot of money, a full 700 yuan. How many years will it take them to earn that much?
It can be said that this is the most expensive thing in the villagers' family. They are not at ease just leaving it on the open space, so they want to integrate these vegetable greenhouses and build them in the same place, so that everyone can take care of each other and protect these expensive greenhouses from being destroyed.
It’s just that they had already divided the land into two parts, one for you and the other for me, and they were very far apart.
If all these vegetable greenhouses are built together, they will definitely need to exchange land with others.
Each piece of land has a different shape, location, fertility, etc., and some families are making a fuss about wanting to exchange land for other lands. It seems that these people have come to Uncle Lan and his friends again.
They had to find village cadres to help them negotiate the land exchange, which was a big project. Time was tight, and the uncle and his friends had no time to rest. After seeing off Duan Jiefu, they had to continue working.
Lan Xin threw these issues aside and let the villagers discuss the disputes among themselves first. If they really couldn't be resolved, he would step in.
So at this moment she quietly took her two daughters back home to prevent Uncle Lan from having the opportunity to conscript them.
Along the way, Yueyue chirped like a lark, making noises in her ears non-stop. Even Yingying, who was originally more quiet, followed her sister and kept talking.
Lan Xin knew that the two children missed her very much. It was also because they had never been separated for such a long time. Not only did the children miss their mother, she missed her children too.
So Lan Xin did nothing tonight but stayed with the child and coaxed him with the toys and gifts he bought from the provincial capital.
That night, the two children slept with Lan Xin hugged tightly, for fear that she would disappear again if they let go. Lan Xin sighed deeply. What could he do?
Just think of it as being entangled by an octopus.
The next day after waking up, Lan Xin felt sore in her back and waist, as if she had not slept well the whole night.
She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. Ma Cuihua beside her saw it and asked with a smile: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"The two children hugged me tightly. It was difficult for me to turn over and sleep well." Lan Xin said with dark circles under her eyes and a miserable look on her face.
Ma Cuihua covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Those two children miss you so much that they come calling mom every day, looking forward to your return."
