mountain farmer

Chapter 52
(Thanks to my friend Wuming Qian for the reward and encouragement)

It was because Liu Fugui had beads in his stomach that he moved his mind to go home to develop this breeding industry and that planting industry.To be honest, he has no experience or skills in this area.

In his mind, building a greenhouse is actually similar to farming.Moreover, the environment of the greenhouse can be controlled to some extent, and it grows better than the crops in the field.

Now that the corn has been surrounded, the big guys are sitting in the yard of the Liu family, setting up two tables, eating and drinking happily.

But Zhang Zhu was confused by asking him just one sentence. You can think about what to plant, but have you raised seedlings yet?

This is a slightly embarrassing little question. Liu Fugui is eating well, and he can imagine the future by the way, but he finds that he has not considered this question.

When growing vegetables in a greenhouse, you have to choose the best seedlings to plant in them.At this time, if you don’t grow seedlings yourself, you can go to the market to buy them, and they don’t sell them.

"Brother Zhuzi, is it too late to grow seedlings?" Liu Fugui asked with a wry smile after thinking about it for a while.

Zhang Zhu thought for a while and nodded, "Actually, there's nothing too late for this, it depends on when you want to sell this vegetable. Now it's fine to raise seedlings in a small shed in the field. If you're in a hurry, you can do it on the kang Get a small nursery pond. Anyway, there are only two greenhouses on your side, and the total land is less than four acres, so it’s easy to do.”

"What's more is the pollination in the future. Although you can buy medicine and spray it directly, it is quite tiring. And spraying medicine for pollination saves trouble, but it is easy to produce deformed fruit."

"It's like a lot of tomatoes in the market grow strangely, and they are basically pollinated by spraying pesticides. Anyway, your shed is not very big, so if you can't do it, just work harder and pollinate manually. The fruit setting rate is high and the fruit shape is also good."

"Brother Zhuzi, there is no way to save worry? I still have a lot of pigs, chickens, ducks and geese here. I'm really worried that I won't be able to get them by then, and I will miss the pollination period." Liu Fugui poured Zhang Zhu a glass of wine, very happy It is humbly asking for advice.

In fact, not only Liu Fugui, but everyone at the dinner table was listening too.Regarding the matter of planting greenhouses, in Lijiagou, only Zhang Zhu has this experience.

"If it doesn't work, you can just buy a box of bees. You can ask for less, or the flowering period here is too short, and you will easily starve the bees to death." Zhang Zhu thought for a while and said.

"But it's also worrying. You don't have to worry about pollination. You will have to take care of these bees in the future. Anyway, it's up to you to choose. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Liu Fugui nodded, "Let's get some bees first, and then it will be easier. Don't work hard for several months, and there will be too few fruits by then."

"Brother Zhuzi, if you don't have anything to do this afternoon, help me get out the seedling bed on this kang. When these seedlings grow up, they can be moved directly to the greenhouse."

"It's simple, and it can be done in one afternoon." Zhang Zhu said with a smile.

I'm also very happy, after all, someone asked me for advice.At the beginning, I lost money in building a greenhouse, so I didn't listen to gossip.Now it can be regarded as a proof, not that I can't do it well, but that I don't want to earn this hard money.

Liu Fugui was caught, and changed places with a little brother, and sat next to Zhang Zhu.He also discovered that this greenhouse is not as easy as he imagined.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhu asked one more question today, which made him think.This greenhouse is really not easy to get, there are many twists and turns inside.

Farming, whether it is a large field or a greenhouse, you can't do without water, and you can't do without fertilizer.According to Liu Fugui's original idea, that is to buy a few trucks of chicken manure, and then raise them in the ground.

But in Zhang Zhu's words, this really doesn't work.

There are quite a lot of chicken manure sold, both fresh and dried, but including the ones sold in the county, they are not from any serious manufacturers. You are fine in the field, but if you go to the greenhouse, you will have to pay for it.

If the treatment process is not enough, it contains a lot of eggs.The temperature in the greenhouse is still so good. After they hatch, they will be the first to attack your seedlings.

The base fertilizer is very important, you have to find the real mature fertilizer.Even if it is more expensive, you have to stick to it.After all, these two sheds will be used for a long time, and the land here is not very fertile, so you have to use fertilizer to raise them slowly.

After hearing that Liu Fugui did not intend to use chemical fertilizers, even Zhang Zhu had a headache.Although I know that vegetables that don't use chemical fertilizers are more expensive, but the yield and quality are really not enough.

"Fugui, if you don't use chemical fertilizers, you can either sell organic fertilizers for flower cultivation, or use bean cakes to ferment yourself. If it doesn't work, get some soybean meal from a feed factory, and you can use the rest Feed the chicken." Zhang Zhu thought for a while and said.

"The investment is a bit bigger, but the land is good. If you have the knowledge, you can get some soil from other places. It's better to mix it with the soil in our field."

"Our land is too thin. It's not as good as other people's land. But it depends on what you think, it costs money, it's all cost."

"Brother Zhuzi, thank you so much. Otherwise, I would have plunged into it and messed around, and I will probably pay me a lot this year." Liu Fugui said gratefully.

This greenhouse is much more complicated than I imagined, if you don't pay attention, it will affect your final result.

"When I was working outside, I helped others take care of the shed, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of coming back to do it at home." Zhang Zhu said with a smile after taking a sip of his wine.

"You have a large headcount. In the future, as long as you grow vegetables, you will not have to worry about selling them. But I couldn't do it at that time, and my temper was also stubborn. I would rather lose money than do it, and I can't be bullied."

"Hey, brother Zhuzi, you are telling the truth. You don't talk much in the village, but it's the first time I've seen you talking so much to brother Fugui like today." Liu Pingan took over the conversation.

The little brothers on the side also nodded in unison, this is indeed the case.

"Nonsense, to whom should I tell these things? If Fugui hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have said anything. What kind of compensation do I have for the two sheds, and what shame do I have to tell others?" Zhang Zhu shook his head helplessly, Drink the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Brother Zhuzi, how about you come to work for me during the slack season? It's only 1000 yuan for a month, just come and help me when you have time." Liu Fugui thought for a while and said.

"Slap me in the face? How much will you pay? Trust me, just cook two dishes for me and drink some wine." Zhang Zhu's eyes widened.

"Brother Zhuzi, the top subordinates of my rich brother are all working for nothing now." Liu Pingan answered with a bitter face.

It made everyone laugh, he is indeed Liu Fugui's number one subordinate.
