1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 79: Money messes up the order of generations, greenhouses mess up the seasons

Spruce Hotel.

Xu He drove a van into the hotel's underground parking lot, and then used a cart to transport the purchased vegetables to the cold storage.

When he finished his work and was about to leave, he saw Xu Wenxiang waiting for him with her arms folded.

Xu He was not short, but at this moment, his aura was lowered: "You came so early, sister."

Xu Wenxiang said coldly: "I came to see you to deliver the vegetables. If there are not enough vegetables in the next two days, you don't have to do the hotel's delivery."

Xu He said, "Sister, you can rest assured that I will do my job well. I will definitely not hold you back! The vegetables have been very good recently, and the supply is very stable, so I decided to get fresh goods every day."

Xu Wenxiang: "Oh, the Jiangxin vegetable market is out of stock. Where did you find the source?"

Xu He: "There's a small vegetable farmer in the wholesale market with more than ten acres of land. I bought vegetables from him last month. The vegetables he grew are all very beautiful. In the past two weeks, the supply has been large and the quality is very stable. The hotel has responded very well."

Xu Wenxiang frowned: "Small vegetable farmer?"

Originally, Xu He also had some opinions about small vegetable farmers.

In recent years, various incidents such as excessive pesticide use and vegetable poisoning have been traced back to their source, and both large vegetable markets and ordinary farmers are involved.

But large vegetable markets can be held accountable.

When you encounter migrant farmers and small vegetable growers, it is completely out of your control and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

Therefore, high-end hotels are very cautious in purchasing vegetables, and basically they use fixed suppliers or their own farms.

The Jiangxin Vegetable Market is owned by some of the shareholders of Yunshan Hotel.

However, after a period of contact, Chen Cainong gave Xu He a very special feeling.

It feels much more reliable than Jiangxin Vegetable Market.

In response to Xu Wenxiang's questioning, Xu He said, "This small vegetable farmer is a little different. Not only are their vegetables good, but they are also stable. Jiangxin Vegetable Market has been having problems for the past two months. I think we can incorporate Chen's vegetable farmers into the hotel's supply system."

Xu Wenxiang is still not optimistic. If the cooperation between a big hotel and small vegetable farmers is made public, it will directly lower the grade of the hotel.

Moreover, Jiangxin Vegetable Market has a special status.

The hotel was also invested by her husband's family and Hong Kong businessmen. She was just one of the shareholders and also served as the general manager. Many people were keeping an eye on her.

However, Jiangxin Vegetable Market has been hit by frequent disasters this year and has been out of stock several times.

This forced her to consider temporarily accepting supplies from small vegetable farmers.

Xu Wenxiang pondered and said, "I will ask the purchasing department to conduct an on-site inspection and send another batch of samples for pesticide residue testing."

Xu He breathed a sigh of relief. This meant he agreed. "I'll go too."

Xu Wenxiang nodded: "Well, be careful. If something goes wrong, I can't protect you, and I might not be able to protect myself either."

Looking at the tall figure about to leave, Xu He could feel the pressure on her and asked again: "Sister, are you going back to the village for the holidays?"

"No, I'll just stay at the hotel."

...

Dongxiang vegetable market.

After seeing Chen Ze off, Chen Jiazhi returned to the house and saw Li Xiu happily counting the money. It was almost the same as he expected. He earned more than 3330 yuan today, setting a new record again.

While having breakfast, Yi Dinggan asked about the amount and found out that he and Chen Jiafang were both shocked to the point of numbness.

Chen Jiazhi's words yesterday, "Make money, make money, and make money," kept echoing in the ears of the two.

But this makes money faster!
After dinner, Chen Jiazhi started another busy day.

Digging, fertilizing, watering, thinning out seedlings~
At noon, Chen Jiazhi rode his bicycle to the town and bought a few gift boxes of rice dumplings and salted duck eggs, paired with some lychees and longans, preparing to distribute them as welfare to the workers of the three companies and to eat them himself.

Although the second sister was also planning to make rice dumplings, Chen Jiazhi and Li Xiu could not help much, so they simply bought them and then recruited some workers.

He also took the time to buy a headlamp and bulk Chinese kale and broadleaf mustard seeds.

In addition to raising seedlings and transplanting them, he also plans to sow one or two batches of kale and mustard seeds.

The germination rate of bulk seeds is not high, and the price is not expensive. Sow the seeds densely. If the seedlings perform well, you can also thin them out and transplant them.

At the same time, direct seedlings save the trouble of transplanting. If all the seedlings are transplanted, there will not be enough manpower.

The cowpea seedlings are about to be transplanted, and then there will be kale, broccoli, and even mustard greens~
The two couples, Ao Dehai and Ao Deliang, are responsible for harvesting vegetables, as well as daily work such as digging, watering, thinning, and fertilizing.

Qi Yongfeng sells vegetables at night and manages Plot No. 7 with Huang Juan during the day.

He and Li Xiu Ze appeared in various fields flexibly, and Chen Jiazhi was basically responsible for sowing and spraying pesticides himself.

Transplanting is a very labor-intensive job.

The existing number of seedlings is enough for them to work overtime for a long time to transplant them.

Just try live streaming.

If the farmer's own seed performs well, he can also try to purify and rejuvenate the seed.

Breeding is a must try~
In vegetable cultivation, people often lament that money messes up generations and greenhouses mess up the seasons.

Not only is the social economy developing, but agricultural technology is also changing with each passing day.

If something happens that is not in line with agricultural common sense, in addition to questioning it, you should also consider whether you are out of date.

Many people only realize their mistakes when they are facing elimination.

Chen Jiazhi has experienced this many times in his vegetable growing career. Most of the time, he was just a follower, unable to get the first bite of meat and could only barely drink the soup.

Now, in addition to his inherent memories, he also has the capital to make various attempts.

Therefore,
When Chen Jiazhi inspected the fields and saw the terrible state of the first batch of large-bone green fruit pods kept for seeds, he did not feel much emotion.

First of all, this is the first attempt.

This batch of Daguqing was sown in early April, and experienced continuous rain and high temperatures during the period. After flowering in May, it also experienced many storms.

It can be said to be full of disasters.

Moreover, the pods are not completely empty, and many of them contain seeds.

The sun is setting.

The water spinach pods under the shade net are still a little green and the seeds are not yet ripe.

Water spinach seeds mature in batches, and you have to be patient before picking them.

Chen Jiazhi took a look and started preparing food for today.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also the day with the highest demand for vegetables.

The orders for Chinese cabbage from old customers alone have reached 600 to 700 kilograms, plus Chen Ze’s 200 kilograms and those put on the market.

Chen Jiazhi planned to plant 1150 kilograms of Chinese cabbage today. The 0.5 acres planted on May 5.20 must be cleared today, and may have to be harvested in the next batch.

Including the 100 kilograms harvested yesterday, the yield per mu of this batch of Chinese cabbage is about 2500 kilograms.

Because the harvest was done 2 to 3 days in advance, the yield was already very good and the output value was even more astonishing.

In addition, there are loofah, bitter melon and amaranth, and the total harvest volume is about 1,300 to 1,400 kilograms.

An absolute big project.

Moreover, the temperature is not low, so the time to harvest the vegetables will be later, and we will definitely harvest them in the dark until late at night.

Therefore, Chen Jiazhi and Qi Yongfeng slept a little longer at noon, preparing to go directly to the market after harvesting the vegetables in the evening.

Chen Jiazhi arranged the vegetable harvesting tasks one by one.

The choy sum was still given to the families of Ao Dehai and Ao Deliang.

The amaranth is left to Huang Juan, and Li Xiu will finish picking the loofah and bitter melon before dark.

Chen Jiazhi and Qi Yongfeng are responsible for watering and other work to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

After the arrangements were made, everyone got busy.
