Chapter 201 Curiosity, don’t be too serious

Compared with the watermelons grown by people in forest areas, watermelons grown on farms are obviously available earlier.The reason why farm watermelons can be put on the market earlier is mainly because the farm watermelon breeding time is earlier than that of ordinary people.

Looking at the round and green watermelons in the field, Xu Siwen, who stayed at the farm and said he was going on vacation, was also greedy.But Mu Shanhe said directly that these watermelons had not yet reached the peak picking time, and asked him to wait patiently for a few more days.

While the watermelons were still immature, Mu Shanhe began to visit the greenhouse vegetables frequently.Professors and students transferred from provincial agricultural schools have now moved into dormitories on the farm.They were also very satisfied with the accommodation provided by the farm.

What makes these teachers and students most happy is naturally that the food on the farm is quite good.When the professor sent by the agricultural school learned about the farm's farming model, he was even more puzzled: "Why don't you use chemical fertilizers when you grow rice?"

When asked by the professor, Mu Shanhe said directly: "Applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides can indeed increase rice yields and even reduce insect pests. But the farm's planting model is somewhat different from ordinary farms.

I personally dislike the use of pesticides on crops because I think crops treated with pesticides can indeed reduce pests and diseases.Correspondingly, these crops will also contain pesticide residues.It's not dangerous to my health, but I still don't like it.

If the professor is paying attention, I believe you should know that pollution-free green planting models have begun to be promoted and implemented abroad.Although the yield of crops grown in this way is low, the quality is more secure.

The rice grown on our farm can pass the most stringent green and pollution-free quality inspection, and the quality and nutritional indicators are far better than similar rice.In fact, all the rice we grow is now exported. "

As soon as these words came out, the professor and the students who came for the internship were shocked and said directly: "The rice you grow is exported abroad?"

"Yes! Although the quantity exported last year was not large, it amounted to more than ten tons. As long as the rice that has not been harvested this year passes customer quality inspections, the quantity exported this year may be even greater."

"Can I ask, how much does your rice sell for per kilogram?"

In response to such an inquiry, Mu Shanhe hesitated for a moment and said: "This may not be easy to say! It's not that I don't want to say it, but it may have some bad effects after saying it. After all, my planting model is very different.

Nowadays, farmers and state-owned farms grow rice, often pursuing high yields.My retro planting model certainly cannot be promoted on a large scale.It’s not that I don’t apply any fertilizer to my rice, I apply all the fertilizer I pile on myself.

You must have seen before that the farm raises a lot of sika deer and deer deer, as well as a lot of poultry.The manure is collected and re-composted, and then the accumulated manure is used for top dressing according to the growth of the rice. "

There is definitely a huge gap between the current domestic rice prices and the prices of rice exported by Mushanhe.To put it bluntly, one kilogram of rice exported from the farm can be purchased domestically for one bag.

If the export price spreads, there is no guarantee that some local people will follow suit.If it is taught then, it will be very troublesome to manage.If we don’t teach them, farmers will definitely have objections in their hearts.Therefore, some things are better kept secret for the time being.

Even in later generations, there are actually not many planting bases that can follow the farming model.In addition to making money from exports to subsidize the farm's expenses, the remaining crops grown on the farm are basically self-produced and sold.

In fact, the rice currently served in the farm canteen is grown on the farm itself.This is why many people who have eaten at the farm canteen find the steamed rice on the farm very fragrant.The reason is that the quality of rice is better!
In view of the fact that here in the forest area, it starts to snow at the end of October every year.By September, temperatures start to drop.In this case, when planting vegetables in a greenhouse, it is also necessary to start raising seedlings to prepare in advance for later planting.Teachers and students invited from universities were naturally very surprised when they saw such a standardized greenhouse.But more often than not, they all feel that the knowledge they have learned is finally put to use.

When You Qi came to the farm, they learned that there was a corresponding living allowance. Although the teachers and students felt a little embarrassed, they did not reject the farm's kindness.But when it comes to managing greenhouses, they naturally appear to be more attentive.

Even Zhao Zhicheng said with a smile: "We are really right to find these professional people to help us manage the greenhouse. With their management, we can save a lot of trouble. These people really know greenhouse cultivation better than us. .”

"That's for sure. They are professionals after all. However, the guys in charge of the greenhouses should also put more effort into learning from them. After all, they are only here this year, and they may not come next year. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

A few days later, Mu Shanhe and Xu Siwen came to the watermelon field again. Mu Shanhe looked at the watermelons and then said: "Old Zhao, find some baskets and come over. Some watermelons can be picked. Although it can still be done slowly, but now It doesn’t matter if you pick it.”

"Why? Didn't you say before that you should wait until the watermelon tastes best before picking it?"

Facing Xu Siwen's suspicious expression, Mu Shanhe also said directly: "You have to send these watermelons you picked now to overseas customers. Even if they are shipped by air, it will take three to five times for the customers to receive the watermelons. Oh my God?"

Seeing Xu Siwen nodding, Mu Shanhe continued: "In the past three or five days on the road, the watermelon has almost reached its best taste. If you pick it too early, the watermelon will not be sweet enough, and it will even affect the taste. If you pick it too late, it will be the same. "

Following Mu Shanhe's explanation, Xu Siwen finally understood that there were so many things to pay attention to when selling a watermelon.Fortunately, after being greedy for a long time, he finally had the opportunity to taste the watermelon cultivated on the farm again today.

Even the teachers and students who helped manage the greenhouse were surprised when they tasted such a sweet and delicious watermelon and said: "This watermelon feels very different from what we have eaten before. Could it be a new variety?"

As a result, their teacher said straightforwardly: "These watermelon varieties are no different from our common watermelon varieties. As for why they taste so good, it may have a lot to do with their breeding and subsequent management."

"Teacher, I have observed carefully during this period. The way of farming and breeding on their farm does seem a bit different. However, the young boss seems to know a lot about farming. No wonder he dares to open such a farm."

"Okay, enjoy your food and don't be too curious. After all, you are here for internship!"

Compared with these students who always have irrepressible curiosity, the older and more mature teacher knows that there are some things that should not be inquired about.The boss dares to build such a large farm. How can it be possible if he has no confidence?
But it involves other people's breeding secrets. If they inquire about it rashly, they will definitely offend people.Since they are invited to help manage or teach greenhouse cultivation, it is better to focus on the greenhouse!
