I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 592: The Farming Gene in Our Bones

Chapter 592: The Farming Gene in Our Bones

In Chang'an City, Shenzhou Star, Uncle Wu got up early.

He has been in Chang'an City for a few days and has gradually become accustomed to the life here.

The air on Shenzhou Star is very good, and Chang'an City is a garden-like city. The greening and environment of the entire city are very good.

Uncle Wu came to Shenzhou Star for a tour, and of course he also came to visit his youngest son and his family.

Last year, my youngest son and his family chose to immigrate to Shenzhou Star. Grandpa and Grandma Wu have always been concerned about them.

After the route between the Solar System and the Central Plains Galaxy was opened, the old couple became the first group of people to travel to the Central Plains Galaxy. They came to Shenzhou Star to play and visit their sons, grandsons, granddaughters and so on.

"Old Wu, let's go buy some groceries."

Grandma Wu had also gotten up early. Seeing Grandpa Wu also got up, she hurriedly said.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Grandpa Wu pulled the shopping cart and went out with Grandma Wu.

At their age, there is basically nothing to do. They get up early every day and naturally go to the vegetable market to kill time.

Pulling a shopping cart, Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu came to the vegetable market near the community.

It's not much different from the vegetable market in my hometown on Blue Star, except that the people here come from all over the world, and many of them speak with a slight accent from their hometown.

It was not the first time for Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu to go to the vegetable market. After arriving at Shenzhou Star, they were not very interested in traveling around. They just liked to go to the vegetable market, play chess, and do square dancing in the surrounding parks.

The vegetable market in front of us is full of goods, including various vegetables and fruits from Blue Star, as well as various vegetables and fruits produced locally on Shenzhou Star. There are a full range of varieties, and basically it is some elderly people doing business here.

Many elderly people had nothing to do after immigrating to Shenzhou, so they planted some grains, vegetables, fruits and the like on their own land.

On the one hand, it is to exercise your body and find something to do.

On the other hand, you can make some money.

You're just sitting there doing nothing anyway, and people who have worked hard all their lives can never stay idle or sit still.

Of course, they cannot eat all the vegetables and fruits they grow, so they take them to the vegetable market to sell.

The quality is very good, fresh and cheap.

"There are cherries on Shenzhou planet, too?"

“How much are these cherries?”

As Uncle Wu was walking around, he soon saw a stall filled with a whole freighter of cherries. He hurried over and asked.

"Of course there are cherries!"

"And this cherry looks really good. Try it."

Uncle Li, who sells cherries, said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you buy them or not, you can eat as much as you want, we grow them ourselves."

As soon as I heard Mr. Li's voice, I knew he was from Dongshan. He was warm and generous.

“It tastes really good, delicious!”

"How much does it cost per pound?"

Uncle Wu and Grandma Wu tried a few in succession and couldn't help but nod their heads, saying that they tasted good.

"2 yuan a pound, grown at home, sell as you like."

Uncle Li said with a smile.

"2 yuan per pound is still really cheap!"

"Here on Blue Star, it's five or six yuan per pound."

"Give me ten pounds!"

When Grandma Wu heard this, she also said the same thing.

"That's right. Everything on our Shenzhou Star is very cheap and of very good quality."

"These vegetables and fruits are all grown at home. Every household has a lot of land, so everyone can grow something."

"Some people who have pastures raise cattle and sheep."

“Because there are more, the price is low.”

"It's different here on Blue Star. There's less land and more people, so things are naturally more expensive, but people are cheaper."

"Here on Shenzhou Star, everything is cheap, except for labor costs."

Uncle Li said as he worked: "Ten kilograms of cherries!"

"Okay, the money has been transferred."

Uncle Wu took the cherries and said.

"Got it, got it!"

Uncle Li nodded and said that after the popularization of virtual technology, spending money has become faster and money can be transferred directly with just a thought.

"It's good that this place is vast and sparsely populated."

"That's right. A huge planet now only has more than 2000 million."

"It's a good way to live. Everyone is not under too much pressure and can eat with more peace of mind."

Uncle Wu and Grandma Wu continued to shop and bought a lot of vegetables, all of which were grown by everyone in their own homes.

When we arrived at the seafood area, there were a lot of people. The seafood freshly caught today was still alive and kicking. There were all kinds of them, with baskets after baskets of all kinds of fresh seafood.

"This seafood is really good and cheap, Penglai lobster, Shenzhou star yellow croaker, big grouper, all good stuff!"

When Grandma Wu saw it, she immediately rushed over to buy the seafood she wanted.

After years of overfishing, the marine resources on Blue Planet have long been facing depletion. In addition, Blue Planet has a large population and many countries, so it is difficult to protect the marine resources.

The situation is different on Shenzhou Star and Jiuzhou Star.

One is that the marine resources have hardly been fished and are very abundant. The other is that the population is small, so reasonable fishing and resource planning can be carried out in a unified manner, and regular rotations can be carried out to allow the marine resources to recover.

This is the advantage of monopolizing a planet with life. Resources can be planned rationally by oneself, instead of everyone scrambling to drain the pond for fear of being at a disadvantage.

After buying seafood, they came to the meat area. Grandma Wu looked at the pork carefully and immediately nodded and said, "This pork is good!"

"That's right. Many of the farms on our Shenzhou planet are open farms."

"Plus, the grain production on our planet Shenzhou is huge, and we simply can't eat it all, so many farms buy grain directly to feed pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. The pigs raised are almost the same as the farm pigs we had when we were young."

The pork seller smiled and said, "My pork is from pigs raised on my own farm. They are well raised. There are only a few hundred pigs, and I kill one every day!"

"I cultivated a large piece of land nearby to grow food and feed these pigs."

"It's definitely not a feed pig. It's not big in size, but the meat is definitely delicious."

"Okay, give me three pounds of spare ribs and two pounds of pork belly."

Grandma Wu took a closer look and found that the pork was indeed good, and different from that fed on feed.

"okay!"

"That's 13 bucks!"

"It's over!"

After buying the meat, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu continued to walk around the vegetable market before slowly returning.

“The land is still so good!”

"When we were young, so many things happened in the village just for a little bit of land."

Uncle Wu sighed as he walked.

He thought back to his youth, when everyone basically stayed in the village, with only one acre and three mu of land in their eyes.

"That's right. At that time, Master Wang and Chen Sanpao from our village fought over a piece of land the size of a palm, and Master Wang was killed by Chen Sanpao!"

"It's not a big piece of land. It's less than 2 square meters in total. And someone died on that small piece of land."

Grandma Wu also sighed.

“We were so poor back then!”

"There are so many people, and every household is trying their best to get more land."

"Qian Mazi's favorite thing to do is to dig the ridges of the fields. If someone's field is next to his, the ridges will become narrower and narrower. Because of this, Qian Mazi has quarreled with people many times."

"But he spent his whole life digging ridges and still became extremely poor. He never dug out any gold."

"There is also Aunt Yang in the village. When the village wanted to build a cement road, she wanted to occupy some of her land. She refused to agree no matter what. She cried, made a scene and even threatened to hang herself. Once the road was built, she would dig it up."

"People of that era were all like this. They were poor, had little land, and low grain production. They were all hungry, and they were all racking their brains."

Uncle Wu said with emotion.

"Yes, at that time, everyone could only rack their brains in this area, but it was useless to rack their brains. We were still poor and could not even have enough food to eat." "It's still better now."

"We have already developed to the outer planets. There is as much land as you want, but people are becoming more and more valuable."

Grandma Wu also sighed.

Their generation has truly witnessed the rapid changes of the times.

From being penniless and hungry in the beginning, to gradually having enough food to eat, and then to gradually becoming wealthy.

We built a beautiful new house and drove a car. Until now, we have walked from the blue star to the sea of ​​stars and are able to live on this alien planet.

“Times are changing so fast!”

"When I was young, all I dared to dream about was building a beautiful house and making a little money."

"At that time, I was extremely envious of those who drove cars and used mobile phones. Later, we built our own new house and used mobile phones. Later, we bought cars. Then the cars became anti-gravity aircraft and the mobile phones became virtual machines."

"We have even arrived on an alien planet now. It's really unthinkable."

Uncle Wu was filled with emotion.

When people get older, they like to reminisce, recalling every detail of the past. While lamenting the passing of time, they also lament the changes of the times.

Especially for Uncle Wu and Grandma Wu’s generation, they were deeply touched.

No one expected that the trend of the times would develop so rapidly and that science and technology would develop so rapidly.

"It's better now, it's better now."

"We should occupy more planets, so that we don't have to quarrel or fight over a small piece of land, and we don't have to go hungry."

"Yes, now is better, now is better."

"I used to think that emigrating was a bad thing, but now it seems that emigrating is a good thing."

"It's pretty good. The environment is good, there's plenty of land, the food is healthy, the economy is developing rapidly, and there are a lot of opportunities."

Uncle Wu and Grandma Wu were chatting as they walked back slowly.

When their youngest son and his family applied to immigrate to Shenzhou Star last year, the old couple strongly opposed it.

Now that they have come to Shenzhou Star, they also think it is quite good.

After returning home, Grandma Wu started busying herself preparing breakfast for everyone.

Uncle Wu, who can't sit still, started to plow the land in his backyard, preparing to use it to grow vegetables.

His son is rather lazy, and although he was allocated a vegetable plot, he never planted vegetables there.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of acres of land allocated to the family when they immigrated here have been left alone, and no one has been bothered to take care of them.

Uncle Wu came over and he was also thinking about making use of all these lands.

The older generation still cherishes the land in their hearts. It is such a waste to just watch the land lie there.

"dad!"

At around seven o'clock, Uncle Wu's youngest son Wu Yong also got up. Seeing Uncle Wu sweating profusely while tidying up the land, he quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

"what?"

"Of course, we should develop this vegetable garden and grow vegetables!"

While working, Grandpa Wu said, "Look how much land you are wasting. This is good land, all black soil."

"Just do it casually, the key vegetables are so good."

When Wu Yong heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Dad, vegetables are not expensive here on Shenzhou Star. There is no need to work yourself to death to grow vegetables. You can just go buy vegetables directly."

“That’s two different things!”

Uncle Wu said: "You have to take good care of your own land and plant something on it."

"And it's not difficult to grow this kind of vegetable. When you have time, just turn the soil over and sow some seeds, and the vegetable will grow. Vegetables grown at home are more reliable to eat, and they are also fresh."

"Grow some ginger, onions, garlic, etc. When you want them, you can come and pick them anytime."

"You're just lazy, and it won't take you much time."

Wu Yong curled his lips and said, "Dad, vegetables grown by others are also vegetables. You can buy them with a little money. There is no need to work too hard."

"Besides, I'm exhausted from work and don't have time to grow vegetables."

"If you don't plant, I will!" Uncle Wu said, "When I was a child, the village was extremely poor. We quarreled and fought every day for a little bit of land, and some even died."

"At that time, even if you wanted to farm, there was no land for you to farm."

"Today is Saturday, so don't go. Take me to our tens of thousands of acres of land. I want to see if I can make use of this land. I have to plant something at least."

When Wu Yong heard this, he immediately felt overwhelmed and asked, "Dad, are you here to travel or to grow vegetables?"

"Last year I asked you to immigrate here with me, but you refused. Now that you finally come here, you come here to grow vegetables and farm."

"You should take a rest. It would be better to go sightseeing."

"If I can't finish the food, why should I work so hard to make it and sell it?"

"When this farmland is developed, the grain harvested by then won't even be able to recover a fraction of the initial investment."

"Shenzhou Star is different from Blue Star. Here, the land is vast and the population is sparse. Things are cheap, but labor is very expensive."

When Uncle Wu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't like traveling. The mountains and rivers all look the same. There's nothing interesting about them."

“I just like growing vegetables and farming.”

"If you guys don't have time, then I'll come by myself. At worst I won't go back."

"Look at this great land, it's all black soil, very thick, you don't even need any fertilizer to grow vegetables here."

Uncle Wu said this while he was busy.

"Whatever you want, whatever you want!" Wu Yong was helpless, but seeing his father sweating profusely from exhaustion, he couldn't bear it and went over to take the hoe and said, "You take a rest first, I'll do it."

"Yeah!" Uncle Wu was indeed tired. He sat aside and said, "I'm old and useless now. When I was young, I could easily fix this."

"You need to plow the land deeper and break up the soil clods so that it is loose and breathable, and it is easier to grow vegetables."

"The vegetable fields should be planted in ridges. There are many vegetables. Just scatter some seeds and you will have more vegetables than you can eat."

"It's actually better to grow your own vegetables. The vegetables you eat are safe and fresh. In the past, the vegetables that people bought in the city on Blue Star were really not good. Not only did they have no vegetable flavor, but they also had a lot of pesticide residues. The most important thing is that they were very expensive."

"As the vegetables are added layer by layer, ordinary people feel that they can't afford to eat them. But in fact, if you have your own land, you can plant a few tomatoes and you can't eat them all. If you just scatter some radish seeds, you will have endless radishes."

Uncle Wu talked incessantly.

Uncle Wu and Wu Yong worked hard for the whole morning and finally turned over the vegetable patch.

After breakfast, at the strong request of Uncle Wu, Wu Yong and his family boarded the anti-gravity aircraft and headed for their own tens of thousands of acres of land.

The land allocated to Wu Yong's family was quite good. It was located on the great plains of Shenzhou Star. It was very flat and all black soil. There were already many farms and ranches around it.

"What a wonderful land!"

"The black soil is top quality and flat. If it were on Blue Star, this would be the kind of disciple that countless people dream of."

"It's such a shame to waste it all like this!"

Uncle Wu carefully inspected his own land and sighed after the inspection.

Looking at the barren land in front of me, I suddenly felt that it was a waste of resources.

"The climate here is very suitable for growing wheat, millet, sorghum, rice, soybeans and the like."

“It will definitely be good if it is reclaimed.”

Uncle Wu studied it carefully, and couldn't help nodding his head after finishing it.

"Dad, can you please stop messing around?"

"Look around here, everyone is basically the same as me, too lazy to bother."

"I wonder how much money it will cost to cultivate this land. How many years of growing crops will it take to make a profit?"

When Wu Yong heard this, he immediately became anxious. He didn't want to be exhausted after get off work every day, and he didn't want to work in the fields again during his finally-gotten vacation.

The key is that the input and output are not proportional. The food on Shenzhou is really too cheap.

"Food is worthless, but it can be used to feed chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep."

"If it doesn't work, you can use it to make wine."

"Don't worry about it, I'll do it. It's such a waste to leave such good land lying around!"

Uncle Wu has made up his mind; he wants to farm on the Shenzhou planet.
