After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 47

After the meal, Shen Qiuqiu turned on the computer and explained the development prospects and benefits of strawberry planting to Grandpa Shen in detail.

Mainly talked about three points, good economic benefits, low planting cost, and short planting cycle.

Shen Qiuqiu did enough homework and spoke clearly and logically.

Grandpa Shen couldn't help but nodded, and his confidence in his granddaughter's strawberry planting plan increased greatly.

"From what you said, planting strawberries is indeed a good way out, better than the grapes I planted.

No wonder the country is now advocating scientific farming. Sure enough, these educated farmers are different from us illiterate old men. "

After speaking, he smiled and gave his granddaughter a thumbs up.

Shen Qiuqiu also laughed, and said very modestly: "Grandpa, I'm just talking on paper. When it comes to farming, you are an expert. I still have to learn from you."

Grandpa Shen listened to these words very well, he nodded, "Okay, your grandpa has been a farmer all his life, and he has no other skills, he is definitely good at farming."

After that, the grandfather and grandson began to seriously discuss farming.

Grandpa Shen was lying on the recliner, shaking the bamboo fan, and talking about the things in the field.

Shen Qiuqiu moved a small bench and sat beside him, and listened very carefully with his chin in his hands.

Little Orange squatted at her feet, stretching out her fleshy little paws to scratch the little goldfish on her shoes.

Shen Qiuqiu simply carried the little orange cat into his arms and forced it to attend class with him.

Grandma Shen came out of the kitchen, and seeing this scene, a faint smile unconsciously formed on her lips.

In my memory, the little girl with the shofar braids sat on the stool and listened to her grandpa telling her stories.

More than ten years have passed in a flash, and the storyteller has gray hair and is getting old; the little girl who listened to the story has also grown into a tall and graceful girl.

It seems that everything has changed, but it seems that nothing has changed.

After talking about farming for a while, Grandpa Shen suddenly sat up and asked Shen Qiuqiu, "The way out of poverty and getting rich you mentioned is to take the big guys to grow strawberries together, right?
Then we have to go to the village chief quickly, and gather the big guys tonight to hold a mobilization meeting or something. "

Shen Qiuqiu nodded first, then shook his head.

"The prospects for fruit planting are very good now, and it is a good way to get rich; moreover, our village has geographical advantages, with a suitable climate and fertile soil, and the fruits grown are sweet and delicious.

I do want to bring the villagers along to grow fruit, but now is not the time.

One is that fruit cultivation is risky. No one in our village has ever grown strawberries, and there is no successful experience or precedent.

It is not yet possible to rashly plant on a large scale. In case of failure, the villagers cannot afford to invest thousands of dollars per mu of land.

There is also the problem of sales. Strawberries are fruits with a very short shelf life. After they are ripe, they need to be picked and sold quickly.Once unsalable, it will rot in pieces in the field, and the loss will be very large. "

Grandpa Shen frowned and thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully. These are indeed difficult problems.

He turned to look at his granddaughter and asked, "Then what are your plans?"

Shen Qiuqiu's plan is actually very simple, first plant a piece of strawberry by himself, which can be regarded as a test field.

See if it can be successful, how effective it is, and whether it is feasible.

It can also be regarded as a leadership role for the villagers.

As for sales, it is a very important issue.

Her current plan is to develop online channels and develop offline markets, a two-pronged approach.

The online channels are mainly a certain treasure and the wheat field mall that is still under development; for now, the main consideration is the fruit shops and large supermarkets in surrounding counties and cities.

Shen Qiuqiu patiently explained the planning of the experimental field to his grandfather and analyzed the sales market.

After hearing this, Grandpa Shen showed a gratified smile on his face.

"Okay, just do as you said, I think it will work."

That being said, both grandparents and grandsons know that as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, strawberries will definitely be able to grow successfully.

Trying to plant a test field is just to be on the safe side.

……

Early the next morning, the master who had made an appointment earlier came to Qinghe Village with a cultivator.

Although the land at the foot of Laodong Mountain has not been taken care of in the past two years, it is not badly deserted, but some weeds have grown.

It's autumn and most of the weeds are dead.

One pass of the raking machine can dig out the grass roots buried in the ground. After deep plowing and drying, these weeds will rot and become natural fertilizers for the land.

More than ten acres of land, if relying on manpower, it may take ten and a half months to complete.

Now with the cultivator, turning the land and raising the ridge can be done easily in one day.

Afterwards, Shen Qiuqiu found someone to install a three-meter-high fence and protective net on the land.

The green fence encloses the whole area, and it is impossible to climb in easily.

This fence, in addition to preventing thieves, is also to prevent nearby wild animals from entering the ground.

After all, strawberry is a herbaceous plant, and the height of the plant is relatively low. When the wild boar walks in the field, it can hustle a large piece of strawberry.

Shen Qiuqiu looked at the bare fence and felt that it was still not safe enough.

She remembered that there was a field of wild roses on the old east mountain.

In summer, patches of roses bloom with overlapping petals.Although it is not expensive, it is delicate and beautiful after a large number of blooms, and it is very attractive. It is a beautiful scenery in the mountains.

This kind of wild rose has a particularly tenacious vitality. The vines have thorns, and the cuttings can survive. It is very suitable for use as a fence.

So, Shen Qiuqiu mobilized the whole family to go up the mountain to cut wild rose branches and come back for cuttings.

The family worked for three whole days, and planted thick rose branches along the edge of the fence. After watering it thoroughly, they could let it grow wildly.

Both Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen are used to doing farm work, not to mention the younger Shen Xiu and Song Na, they did it quickly and well.

Only Shen Qiuqiu was weak, after three days of intense physical work, she was so exhausted that she almost collapsed.

Apart from being sore all over, his hands and arms were covered with red marks from scratches from rose thorns.

Seeing her granddaughter's white and tender little hands covered with wounds, Grandma Shen was very distressed.

These were originally a pair of hands for reading and writing, but now they insist on holding a sickle and a hoe.

It's really annoying and distressing.

When doing farm work, it is common to get a few small scratches on the hands, and it will be fine in two days.

But looking at her granddaughter's white and tender hands, Grandma Shen was a little worried, and went back to the house to find erythromycin ointment to apply to her.

The cool ointment was applied to the wound, causing Shen Qiuqiu to gasp in pain.

Grandma Shen gave her a look with a smile, and scolded: "I know it's hard to be a farmer this time. I told you that you can't eat this bowl of rice, and you still don't believe it.

With your small body, you can't compare to me, an old lady in her 60s. "

"Grandma, you despise me." Shen Qiuqiu sat slumped on the recliner, with her mouth slightly pouted, looking childish.

Grandma Shen couldn't help being happy, and patted the back of her hand lightly, "Okay, okay, grandma won't talk about you anymore."
