Let you go home and raise chickens, what the hell is this confinement center?

Chapter 131 Can the price of these potatoes increase several times?
"What kind of potatoes does Xiaolin grow? Are they the same as ours?" Professor Xue continued to ask.

"Now some people say that potatoes that grow too big don't actually taste good."

"I wonder what the potatoes grown by Xiaolin taste like?"

The potatoes look good, but Professor Li is a little worried about the market acceptance.

"I think it's OK."

Professor Xue walked to the pile of potatoes that Lin Feng had destroyed, picked up one that was only half eaten, and brought it back.

He rubbed the dirt off the broken surface with his hand and showed it to them.

"Take a look. The surface is smooth, the color is even, and there are few buds."

"The core is dark yellow, and the quality is obviously quite good."

When Professor Lu saw the two people coming, he also joined the conversation.

"Really? The potatoes that students dig out nowadays are all of this quality anyway."

"Xiao Lin grows the same crops as us, but our quality can't catch up with his."

"Besides, I calculated that it takes less than 60 days from planting potatoes to harvesting them. It's only about 50 days."

Professor Li nodded.

I originally decided to wait until about 60 days before harvesting.

Who knew the weather was not favorable, and he thought the crops had grown almost enough, so he asked Xiaolin to harvest them first.

"I think it's because of the farmyard manure. In our fields, we still mostly use chemical fertilizers."

"Xiaolin, this place has always been farm manure."

Professor Xue began to analyze the reasons.

“Yes, I heard from the students that earthworm fertilizer is still the most commonly used.”

Professor Li nodded and glanced towards the composting area.

I heard from the students that when Xiaolin has nothing to do, he goes to collect deer dung and make compost from it.

The nutritional content of this kind of diversified fertilizer pile is indeed incomparable to that of chemical fertilizers.

"Chemical fertilizers still harm the fields." Professor Lu sighed.

However, chemical fertilizers are cheap and easy to use, and are the first choice of more than 80% of farmers.

“We still need to study it…”

Professor Li also brushed the dirt off his hands and stood up.

Looking at Lin Feng, who has become proficient in using the hoe and will no longer damage the potatoes.

He said: "I am going to recommend Xiaolin to go to that testing agency for a checkup."

"I think the quality of this potato is not low."

I looked at the students who were shouting all the time, and the yellow potatoes in the field.

Professor Lu nodded, indicating his agreement.

The current purchase price for potatoes is 55 cents per pound.

For those who are good-looking, the maximum price is 65 cents.

However, if the potatoes pass the test, the price of potatoes here can increase several times.

The price could be as low as RMB 3.50 per pound, and it might even be in short supply.

You know, it’s not winter now, but a time when all fresh vegetables are precious.

Now is the time of year when potatoes are in season and the cheapest.

………………

As the sun rose higher and higher, the students worked very hard.

Even more, because you can always find surprises underground.

They dug two acres of potatoes and didn't even feel tired.

As agricultural students, they always thought that the crops they planted were good enough.

When buying potatoes this year, they were sold at a high price of 6 cents per pound.

But compared to Brother Lin's family, they are just younger brothers.

Sure enough, there are always greener mountains and higher buildings.

Brother Lin must be a man blessed by God.

Yes, they attributed all this to luck rather than strength.

After all, Lin Feng's farming skills are obvious to everyone.

"Professor, we are harvesting colored potatoes."

Bai Wentao wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to the three professors beside the field.

"Hey, collect it."

Professor Lu nodded, and the three of them looked at each other. He said:

"Let's go and take a look." "Yes, yes, yes, I remember that this child basically planted a little bit of every variety that can be found on the market. I don't know how he is doing."

Professor Li led the way towards the half-acre field, which was only about 40 meters away.

"Wow. It's really black."

One of the students exclaimed in surprise as soon as he saw the potatoes.

"Really? Mine is purple."

"Mine is red. Really nice."

"This potato has so many colors and is so interesting, but it seems like not many people grow it."

Yu Shiwan was holding a red potato.

Oval shape, smooth surface.

It is said to be red, but it is actually pink if you look closely. How beautiful.

"The average price of this kind of seeds is 8 yuan per pound."

Liu Siyan knew about this.

"And the genes are unstable, so there's no way to save the seeds."

"The yield per mu is not low either. It is said that if it is planted well, it can reach 3000 kilograms."

"But compared with other potatoes, it's not so good." Yu Shiwan nodded.

That's true. It's okay to plant some for fun, but it's not so good to plant on a large scale.

She added: "Also, I don't think the taste is going to be amazing."

"Otherwise, no matter how expensive it is, someone would have already started planting it on a large scale."

"You'll know what it smells like at noon today."

Lin Feng walked over with a hoe in hand and said.

Even though they had no experience, they were three grown men after all.

After finding the trick, an acre of land was turned over very quickly.

As for the collection, it is left to the students.

Lin Feng mainly wanted to come and see his colorful potatoes.

Although the seeds he bought are much bigger now.

But compared with the potato field next to it, it is much smaller.

The normal potatoes in his family weigh about three pounds.

The ones here weigh about one and a half pounds.

However, the three professors were very satisfied.

They directed the students who were still digging the ground and sorting the work.

Don't mix different varieties together, keep good records.

Let’s calculate the yield per mu later.

"Xiao Lin, come here." Teacher Li waved at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng put down the hoe and walked over without knowing why.

"Is such that,"

Professor Li looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he continued speaking.

"In our country, in addition to the general testing agencies, there is also a special testing agency."

"The products that can be delivered there are usually tied to special supplies."

"Of course, there is no requirement for special supplies."

"Don't look at me like that, kid... just listen to me."

“For that organization, the minimum standard is all green.”

"During the planting process, there cannot be any pesticide costs, let alone growth hormones."

"They divide crops into four grades: S, A, B and C."

"S rank is the highest. As for whether there are any higher ranks, I can only tell you that there are, but they are extremely rare."

"Most of the food we eat is grade C, with a few being grade B. If it can be grade A, it can be sold at several times the market price, and there is no need to worry about sales."

"Entering S-rank is even more incredible."

Lin Feng thought for a while and asked Professor Li:

“Can it be understood that the original vegetables can only be sold in the vegetable market?”

“But if you pass the test, will all kinds of boutique supermarkets automatically come to your door to purchase from you?”
