slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 469

After taking a nap at noon, Guan Qidong just got up, and along the window, he saw a few teachers with a cucumber in their hands, gnawing on it and coming towards the entrance of the kiln, just about to open their mouths, who knew that the students over there said it first .

"Teacher, where did you pick the cucumbers?"

Guan Qidong walked out the door and saw a few students sticking their heads out of the window. It was obvious that these children were sitting on the Datong kang talking to the teachers.

"The fellow took us to see the greenhouse, we picked it in the greenhouse." The male teacher casually pointed behind him.

As soon as they heard that they could pick cucumbers in the greenhouse, a few students became interested and asked, "Can we pick them?"

"I really don't know this, but I should tell the fellow villagers!" The male teacher thought for a while before answering to the students.

Looking at the little cucumbers in the hands of several people, Guan Qidong became interested all of a sudden, he took out his mobile phone and called Cang Hai.

When Canghai heard that the teacher was going to take the younger brothers and sisters to pick cucumbers in his own greenhouse, how could he disagree, so he just said that he would pick cucumbers casually, and the master and apprentice chatted for a while before putting down the phone.

"Do you want to eat cucumbers?" Guan Qidong smiled and asked the students who were like groundhogs sticking their heads out of the window.

"We don't want to eat cucumbers, but we want to go to the greenhouse!" said a student.

"Follow me if you want to go, I'll show you what a greenhouse is!" Guan Qidong waved at the students.

Regarding Qidong's words, six or seven students immediately got off the kang, got out of the kiln, and followed Guan Qidong towards Cang Hai's shed.

When they arrived in front of the greenhouse, a group of students were completely stunned. Although two or three students may not have played with the greenhouse at home, some children have seen what the greenhouse looks like.

But the greenhouses in their memory do not match what they see now. There is a glass building in front of them. You are next to me, and I am next to yours. It is more than four meters high, and the steel-framed glass structure looks like a stepped crystal palace placed on a slope in the sun.

"How about it, are you surprised?" Guan Qidong smiled.

"Hey! The sheds over there are all made of plastic sheeting. The sheds here are awesome. They are all made of steel structures. Teacher, this will cost a lot of money, right?" A student sighed and asked Guan Qidong. road.

Guan Qidong thought for a while and said: "I don't know exactly how much money there is, but there are still several million. Their villages can't be seen in the image of the countryside in your imagination. They are rich. Come on, everyone Let’s go in, the daytime temperature is higher now, and the vents of the greenhouse are all open, so it shouldn’t be too hot inside.”

A group of students followed Guan Qidong into the shed. The shed looked spectacular from the outside, but when they went in, they found that the inside was even more spectacular. As soon as they entered the door, they could see cucumber shelves, and the juicy cucumbers were hanging Full of melons.

"There is no soil here?" A sharp-eyed student noticed.

Guan Qidong said: "There was soil in the past, but now they use the water from the water tower in the village to mix with stream water. The stream water has a lot of minerals and enough nutrients to provide enough nutrients for these vegetables, so soil is not needed. This is from the Agricultural University. It was developed by a professor and borrowed agricultural technology from the Netherlands. It can be said that the greenhouse you see now must be first-class in the country in terms of technological content... ".

As a student, Guan Qidong is not lacking in thirst for knowledge, and he gets along well with Zuo Boguang, so Guan Qidong can describe things about the greenhouse with ease. It is as detailed as Guan Qidong.

Of course, Cang Hai doesn't care about Zuo Boguang's research, that's because Cang Hai has a good idea in his heart. The biggest growth of his greenhouse is not due to Zuo Boguang, but to space water.

While talking, Guan Qidong came to the melon vine, picked a small cucumber, rubbed the top flower on the head of the melon, rubbed it twice with his hands, put it in his mouth and started chewing.

"Yeah, yum, it's the right time to eat it, it's full of water, and it tastes tender and crunchy! Pick one and try it too!" Guan Qidong said to the students behind him.

A few students look at me and I look at you. At this time, one student said: "Just eat like this, and don't wash it?"

Guan Qidong laughed and said, "Don't worry, the cucumbers here must be cleaner than most of the cucumbers you used to eat, not to mention chemical fertilizers and pesticides, even farm manure has not been applied! At least it is better than the boxed lunches you eat on the roadside." A hundred times cleaner!"

As soon as the students heard this, they picked a cucumber one after another, followed Guan Qidong's example and removed the top flower, and some even rubbed on their own bodies to remove the small thorns on the cucumber, and then opened their mouths to bite.

"Really delicious!"

The students said one after another.

When Guan Qidong heard this, he immediately waved his hand, leading the students to walk along the path in the greenhouse while nibbling cucumbers.

Just like that, Guan Qidong took a few students and turned around in the shed, picking a handful as long as it was edible, and tasting it, but half a circle did not turn around, and the students came back again with their small round bellies full of lunch up.

"Ah! Look, there are strawberries here!"

A sharp-eyed student found a piece of strawberries hidden behind the bean stand. Most of the strawberries were still blue, but some were so red that they looked ready to be picked!
"It's really a strawberry!"

Guan Qidong went over to take a look, and confirmed that the strawberries planted on the small ridges were really strawberries, but these strawberries were very small, unlike the strawberries sold in Shanghai, they were all quite big, and each one was long. Like a big ping pong ball, the strawberries here are about one-third the size of the strawberries sold in Shanghai, and not much bigger than a small quail egg.

Guan Qidong picked one and put it in his mouth, and immediately felt that the strawberry melted in his mouth, and the whole mouth immediately smelled of sweetness.

"This strawberry is too sweet!"

Guan Qidong didn't like it very much, because the grass mold was really too sweet, and he thought it was a bit awkward.

However, a few students liked it quite a bit, and ate it one by one.

"Don't eat too much, enough is enough!" Guan Qidong said.

"It's delicious, but the taste of this strawberry is different from the creamy grass mold we often eat. This grass mold has a floral fragrance. What kind?"

At this time, a 'strawberry expert' spoke.

Guan Qidong was also quite curious, so he called Cang Hai out of curiosity.

Cang Hai was a little dazed when he heard it on the other end of the phone, because he couldn't remember whether he had grown strawberries for a while.

After thinking for a while, I realized that the strawberry was not grown by myself, but by my old mother-in-law. As for the variety, he didn't know, so he had to tell the teacher that he would call later to ask for help.

Guan Qidong just asked casually, no matter whether there is any result or not, everyone has already tasted it anyway.

As soon as he put down the phone, Guan Qidong heard someone approaching. Everyone turned their heads to the direction of the sound, and found a woman in her fifties approaching with a basket.

The students don't know each other, but Guan Qidong naturally does.

"Sister Wang, how are you?" Guan Qidong smiled and greeted Wang Zhenzhen who came over.

Wang Zhenzhen really did not expect to meet Guan Qidong here, and said with a smile: "Professor Guan, hello!"

The students were also very good at coming, and said together: "Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello!"

"Are you here to pick vegetables?" Guan Qidong asked with a smile.

Wang Zhenzhen said: "No, I planted a few ridges of strawberries. I looked at them yesterday and thought they might be redder today, so I came here to pick some and give it to my pregnant daughter-in-law!"

As soon as he said this, Guan Qidong was embarrassed, because he and his students had eaten up all the edible strawberries in these rows, and the most he could eat now was no more than ten strawberries.

"Look what happened. Before you came, we almost ate all the ripe strawberries. We really didn't know you planted them!" Guan Qidong said embarrassedly.

Wang Zhenzhen looked at it, and immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I've eaten all of it today, and there will be more tomorrow. Look, it's just a matter of these few days that these strawberries are fully ripe."

"When I came in, I thought it was all grown by Canghai. Who knew that I called to ask about the variety of this strawberry, so I knew it was you who planted it..." Guan Qidong is really too sorry, he is so old. When I was old, I actually grabbed food with a pregnant woman, so I explained it again.

Seeing Guan Qidong's expression, Wang Zhenzhen said again: "It's really fine. It will take a day or two to get familiar with this guy. You ask Cang Hai about this, and he naturally doesn't know. To be honest, I don't know too much. The seeds I got from my brother’s house are grown from the wild grass mold in our hometown. They are not very delicious, but it was a thought I had when I was young, so I ordered some!”

"Is there anything else to pay attention to here?" Guan Qidong asked with a smile.

Wang Zhenzhen said: "It's gone, eat whatever you want! There is something to pay attention to. This thing will grow after picking it. By the way, the cantaloupe is good now. The small cantaloupe the size of a fist doesn't look very good on the outside, but it tastes really good." It’s delicious, let’s go, I’ll take you to pick two and try them.”

A student patted his belly: "Auntie, I have eaten a lot during this journey, and I can't eat anymore."

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and said: "You are inexperienced. You will know when you come here often. You can't eat the whole cucumber here. You have to share it with several people. Taste it, so that you can go far. A cucumber Eat it, and add two more tomatoes, so you can have a full stomach. Come, follow me, if you can’t eat it, you will share it!"

After a few people see it, they will follow Wang Zhenzhen to have a look.

Wang Zhenzhen took the big guy out of this greenhouse, and came to another greenhouse a few steps away, only to find that the greenhouse was full of melons, all kinds of small melons, some long, some round, and some There are horn-shaped ones, and when it comes to color, there are more of them, yellow and white, white, green and white stripes, and black and white stripes.

"Growing so many melons? This is simply a sea of ​​melons."

All the students came in with all kinds of small melons in their eyes, as if they had entered the country of melons.

"Why did you plant so many vegetables, melons and cantaloupes this year?" Guan Qidong was also curious.

Wang Zhenzhen said: "One is that everyone likes to eat these melons, and the other is that the Canghai family has iron heads. This is the food for the iron heads. When the melons are eaten up, the fruits will come down, and the stubble will be picked up. The third is It’s just that Zhang Jiusheng collects three or four baskets every day, and he also needs to improve the food for the pigs at home from time to time, so it’s not enough if he doesn’t grow so much.”

Hearing what Wang Zhenzhen said, Guan Qidong could understand.

"Can't these melons be sold to feed pigs?"

Wang Zhenzhen listened to the student's question and said with a smile: "It's not that I can't sell the pigs, but I would rather feed the pigs than sell them! Some people want to buy them with tickets, but there are three or four baskets a day. Sell! People have said it many times, and they will never let go!"

"Now do you know why the pork you eat is so delicious? It's all green-fed, and the worst thing is leftovers! The pigs eaten in the school cafeteria are all slaughtered in a few months, and the free-range pigs here are the least It needs to be fed for a year, if you want to grow well, you have to wait until thirteen to fourteen months." Guan Qidong said with a smile.

Several students couldn't help but click their tongues a little. They never thought that there are still people in this world who grow vegetables and don't sell them, and use them to feed pigs.

So this group of students became more and more interested in this senior brother Cang Hai.
