Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 70 Yang Wenju's Experience in Growing Melon
Luo Guiwen went back and greeted Yang Zhenyu, "I've said all the good and bad things."

"It's been hard work, uncle, come, drink some water." Yang Zhenyu unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it over.

Luo Guiwen took a sip, it seemed that he spent a lot of time persuading Yang Wenju, "Xiao Yang, the old man tried his best."

"Thank you." Yang Zhenyu smiled and passed a cigarette up.

In the evening, Yang Wenju mentioned to his daughter-in-law that Yang Zhenyu had come to ask him for help, and also told her what Luo Guiwen said in the afternoon.

Her daughter-in-law said seriously: "According to what Lao Luo said, we really can't afford to offend this Yang Zhenyu, and you too, if you don't work for others, why smoke other people's cigarettes?"

"Didn't he put it in front of my house door? If you don't smoke, you don't smoke." Yang Wen raised his hands and said.

"Then you can go and see for others tomorrow. It doesn't matter whether they can remember our love, but they can't let them take revenge on us."

If there is an old saying in the countryside, it is not that a family does not enter the house, but the couple is small-minded.

"Alright." Yang Wenju finally nodded.

……

Yang Zhenyu got up in the morning, ready to go to the bank to urge the loan, and when he got it, he could secure the seedlings early, set up the greenhouse, and invite experts. He didn't expect that the first thing he saw today was Yang Wenju.

Don't think about it, Luo Guiwen's words yesterday must have played a role.

Yang Zhenyu still kept a modest attitude to meet him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Yang, when did you come? Why didn't you inform me when you were coming? I will drive to pick you up."

Yang Wenju said: "We are used to walking for two or three kilometers."

Yang Zhenyu yelled towards the kitchen, "Grandma, Uncle Yang is here, order an extra bowl of noodles."

"Okay!" Wang Xiuying responded.

Yang Wenju didn't talk about what happened yesterday, but just took out of his pocket a Leaf cigarette that Yang Zhenyu had given him and rolled it. While rolling, he said, "Where did Xiao Yang buy this cigarette? It suits my taste."

This sentence is to let Yang Zhenyu know that he smoked a cigarette and came to handle business today.

Yang Zhenyu heard the implication, and smiled, "Uncle Yang, I'll take care of the cigarettes, and the melon seedlings..."

Yang Wen put the rolled cigarette into his mouth and lit the lighter, "Puffing a cigarette before and after meals is better than living gods."

"Okay, Uncle Yang, you smoke first, I'll go to the kitchen and have two eggs added to the milk." Yang Zhenyu said.

Yang Wenju has a different view on Yang Zhenyu. Yesterday he said something so harsh, but today he is still polite to him. First, it shows that this young man is polite to his elders. Second, it shows that he has a big heart. It seems that Luo Guiwen didn't say anything yesterday. lie.

After a while, Yang Zhenyu came out with a big bowl of noodles covered with two eggs, "Uncle Yang, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Xiao Yang, don't worry, your cigarettes and this bowl of noodles will not lose you." Yang Wenju said very confidently, even if he hadn't heard Yang Zhenyu say how he accelerated the germination and raised the seedlings, he had already guessed the general idea.

Yang Wenju began to eat in big mouthfuls.

After eating the noodles, he took another sip and asked Yang Zhenyu, "How long have the seeds been soaked?"

"Twelve hours if you play all the time." Yang Zhenyu said truthfully.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Uncle Yang, is it because I soaked for a short time? According to the information I checked, 12 to 18 hours is fine."

"That's what it says in the book. Does it say where to grow melons? Listen to me, after soaking for 12 hours, soak it in water for another three hours."

"Uncle Yang, what's the point of this?"

Yang Wenju looked at Yang Zhenyu and said, "With decades of experience, this method has the highest germination rate."

Farmers rely on experience in farming. If you ask him to come up with theories, he really doesn't know what to say, but the facts have proved that these experiences are reliable and most suitable for the local environment.

"I made a note, Uncle Yang."

"Pre-germination is easy. You have succeeded before, so I won't say more. Take me to see the nursery!" Yang Wen raised his body and said.

Yang Zhenyu took Yang Wenju to the land where he raised seedlings.

Yang Wenju just glanced at it, then shook his head, "You deserve to fail, you want to raise seedlings here?"

He squatted down and grabbed a handful of farmyard manure that had dried into scum, and turned to Yang Zhenyu, "Did you pour two buckets of manure directly?"

Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said, "I mixed half a barrel of tap water."

Yang Wenju shook his head again, "First of all, you can't choose this land. The teeth that just came out are different from the seedlings, and they are very fragile. Although this land is sandy and loamy, it is airtight and easy to accumulate water. You pour the dung water on it. It directly soaked the teeth to death."

Yang Zhenyu shook his head and smiled, finally knowing how Miao Zi died.

"Then what soil should I use? Uncle Yang." Yang Zhenyu asked for advice.

Yang Wenju said: "Go to the river ditch to pull two carts of river sand back, and mix it with the soil. The river sand and soil are half and half."

"Can that soil work?" Yang Zhenyu followed the direction of Yang Wenju's finger and looked at the humus accumulated under the plum tree for many years.

"That method is both breathable and nourishing. This method was developed by myself. I don't tell ordinary people." Yang Wenju said.

Yang Zhenyu suddenly realized that when river sand particles and humus soil are mixed together, there will be many gaps, which not only meet the requirements of the teeth to breathe and grow, but also will not cause water accumulation. Even if it rains, excess water can be removed.

The method sounds very simple, but if you are not a person who grows melons all the year round, you really can't think of where to go.

Just like some math problems, it looks difficult, but once you think about it, it feels so simple.

"I'll drag river sand in a while." Yang Zhenyu then asked, "Uncle Yang, what's so special about this fertilizer?"

Yang Wenju said: "He is still a child, you just want to make him a big fat man, can you do it?

The fertilizer should not be too rich, nor should it be sprinkled too much. You can shovel out the chicken manure in the chicken coop to dry for two days, and then mix it with the soil I just told you, so you don’t need to worry about it.

By the way, when sprinkling seeds, make sure the teeth are facing upwards, and finally spread a thin layer of soil. "

"I know that, Uncle Yang." Yang Zhenyu smiled.

"That's fine, and I don't need to learn too much. If the seedlings don't grow, I'll refund your cigarettes and noodles." Yang Wenju said confidently.

Yang Zhenyu said with a smile: "With Uncle Yang's advice, I won't fail again this time."

Yang Wen raised his body and asked: "I heard from Luo Guiwen that you have already figured out how to sell melons?"

When Yang Zhenyu heard this sentence, he guessed that Luo Guiwen should have promised something to Yang Wenju yesterday, and it was not difficult to guess the purpose of Yang Wenju's question.

"Uncle Yang, they're all from the village. I'll introduce you when the time comes." Yang Zhenyu assured that he didn't have any other channel except Niu Jiancheng, but he already had the idea of ​​selling melons in his mind.

Yang Wenju smiled, "Remember my phone number, if there is anything you don't understand, call me."

The two subconsciously reached a consensus.

"Okay, Uncle Yang, I'm done smoking, and I'll give you some more." Yang Zhenyu smiled.

"Luo Guiwen is right. You have a good personality. Let me go. I'll go back and do my own business." Yang Wenju shook his hands and left.
