Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1244. Planting Lotus Roots

The incident involving [He Shui Fang Fang] did cause quite a stir on the internet.

Drone private filming, after being rejected, still live broadcast, wanted to call the police for compensation, but ended up having to pay some of the expenses...

In this Internet age where even the smallest thing can cause a stir, Internet celebrity incidents that are both praised and criticized are also the easiest to become a hot topic among the public...

But all this has little to do with Qiao Qiao.

Are you kidding! Fans are on high alert, watching the good stuff slowly coming in the spring, how can they let other new fans pick the peaches?

Impossible, there is no possibility of this!

There was an unexpected gain - Zhu Xinyu's relationship with the township police station improved by leaps and bounds. It was said that he was entertained warmly and politely throughout the whole process, and they told him to call if he had any questions...

Regardless of whether it was a polite remark or not, I have established some connections in the township that I had not cared much about before.

Apart from anything else, if there are any disputes in the B&B in the future, even if Old Mrs. Zhou is in the village, she might be able to run away faster just by making a phone call.

Now that the spring river water is warm and there will be heavy rain soon, with this favorable weather and location, the Song family has started to plant lotus roots again.

Spring is so busy!

Fortunately, they don’t have to work so hard this year. Song Sancheng and Wu Lan check the progress on this hill and the condition of the seedlings on that hill every day.

Now strolling to the river, the couple looked full of energy and radiant.

  After all, I have been a farmer all my life. Who wouldn’t be happy to see the fields lush and green?

However, this kind of lotus root was their first time. Song Sancheng was eager to follow him in, but was stopped by Wu Lan:

"Don't make trouble. Our daughter has planted some lotus roots of beautiful flowering varieties. They are very expensive. Don't break them."

Song Sancheng was not convinced: "I have been farming for my whole life, how can I not grow lotus roots?"

  Yan Ran was supervising at the side, and he laughed when he heard this:

"It's okay, auntie. Let uncle try. It's not difficult. You just need to pay attention to a few points."

"We have just pumped a little water from the riverbank to wet the soil. You just need to take off your shoes and step in. It's quite simple."

"Otherwise, after we finish planting, we'll pump water for irrigation. If it rains heavily in a couple of days, the river will rise and we won't be able to go out without water shoes."

After thinking for a while, she added one more reminder: "Uncle, be careful when you step in. There used to be water chestnuts on this riverbank, and there were many wild water chestnuts in the mud. I could occasionally see two when I was turning the soil and mixing fertilizer a while ago."

These wild water chestnuts are not even as big as quail eggs, but once they fall into water for a long time, their shells will turn into a hard black color that is strong and prickly, and it will be very dangerous if you step on them.

Song Sancheng laughed out loud: "We old farmers, how can our feet be so precious? In the past, when we were pumping water from the pond and fishing in it in the middle of winter, who hasn't stepped on some broken glass and wild water chestnuts?"

Wu Lan was quite surprised: "I originally thought that you had to step in the water to plant lotus roots, but it turns out that you can plant them without watering them."

  Qi Lin had just come back from checking the lotus roots he had just planted, and he explained:

"Both methods are fine. If it's pond planting, the water can't be pumped out so dry, so it's more tiring to plant that way."

After all, anyone who has stepped on mud knows that it is very difficult and laborious to pull your feet out once they are stuck in it.

"But it's the dry season here, so it's much more convenient to plant like this."

The planned lotus root planting area covered several dozen acres, so both of them kept an eye on it here, leaving only Tang Xiaodong in charge of the mountain.

After all, although farmers are generally considered to be honest, human nature is unavoidable.

Even though they are young and still scholars, they are never careless when it comes to farming.

The villagers are particularly concerned about their reputation. If Song Sancheng and his wife really said something, everyone would probably laugh.

But if two young people pointed out that something was wrong here and there, it would be so embarrassing and annoying...

But we can’t not make money!

  The Song family has such a big empire. If they don’t fight for it today, won’t they fight for it tomorrow?

Everyone had no choice but to obey slowly. Now the planting plan is being carried out in an orderly manner day by day, and these three people have made great contributions.

As for Yan Ran and the other two, after having been beaten during their internship, they now have such a comfortable job with no worries about food and drink. They dare not predict what the future will be like, but now they are really comfortable!

Before I graduated, I was led by Professor Song to integrate into this huge mountain village step by step, from the planning of dozens or hundreds of acres to thousands of acres today.

In addition, without the teacher, the three of them made rapid progress.

With the right time and place, the day for planting lotus roots is determined after carefully checking the weather forecast.

The weather forecast said that there would be heavy rain, moderate rain and drizzle in the next week. Based on past experience, the river water would definitely rise, so they started work at this time.

Song Tan looked at the huge river beach and said, "Are these people enough? How about hiring a few more people and try to finish planting today?"

It's not that urgent...

But thinking about the plan to raise fish and loaches in the future, Qi Lin looked at the time and said, "Okay, you can recruit them now. I will give them a simple training on how to do it before dinner, and they can start working directly in the afternoon."

Song Tan is looking forward to it: "It will be so beautiful in summer!"

Yan Ran thought about it and said affirmatively:

"It doesn't have to wait until summer. The flowers can bloom as early as May. The lotus leaves will be so green that they will reach the sky."

Song Tan happily contacted people again: "Uncle, the fish fry and loach fry I mentioned before, wait for a week after the rain..."

Yan Ran: ...

She was really unsure about raising these without building a dam, and she needed to raise a lot more...

……

At this moment, a taxi came to the village entrance again.

As time was running out, the director brought two people over to check out the scenery first, take some empty shots, etc., and then called the actors after everything was agreed.

Otherwise, if a large group of people come over and fail to reach an agreement on the matter, then they will see so many people have arrived and take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of him...

With so many people, all the money goes out every day!

He was calculating in his mind until the driver asked him, "Now that we are in the village, which way should we go?"

Ah this.

Ah this.

  This really stumped the director. The contract didn't mention where Song Tan lived in the first place?!

and……

"Why is there no one in this village?"

The houses in the mountain village are scattered and the doors of every house are tightly closed. I didn't see any stray dogs along the way...

  It’s too quiet!

After a while, the driver asked, "Um... do you want to go to the home of a man named Song in this village? The one who built a villa?"

It is correct that his surname is Song, but I don’t know whether he built a villa or not.

But they already have such a beautiful river beach, so it’s normal to have a villa at home, right?

The director nodded: "That should be it. Master, how did you know?"

The driver was proud: "We chatted with each other and found that from last year to this year, all the people who chartered a car to Yunqiao Village went to see the Song family."

Update one.
