1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 83: Emergence
After Hong Zhong came to get the food, Chen Jiazhi regained some spirits.

As for the discussions among the vegetable farmers, he also heard a few things. Now they are short of people to transplant the seedlings, and he also hopes that someone will take the initiative to invest.

Vegetables are vegetables.

But these people have also experienced the torture of wind and rain and have gained experience.

There is no problem in following instructions and working.

"Chirp~"

“Chirp, chirp, chirp~”

Li Xiu was teasing the dogs at the door. The two bear-like puppies, one black and one white, were huddled in the corner. Under Li Xiu's teasing, they gradually lost their initial fear of the unfamiliar environment.

Chen Jiazhi leaned over and squatted down. The two puppies backed away, barking and looking fierce.

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Jiazhi, let's name the dog. How about Wangcai?"

"..." Chen Jiazhi: "Do you want to call the other one Lai Fu? That's too old-fashioned. Just call him Dog Cub."

Li Xiu: "That's too ugly, and there are two of them."

Chen Jiazhi: "Puppy No. 1 and Puppy No. 2?"

"..." Li Xiu was amused: "Be serious, after all, we are counting on them to guard the house."

Chen Jiazhi looked at the two black and white dogs that were still barking fiercely and said, "From now on, the black dog will be called the black puppy, and the white dog will be called the white puppy."

Li Xiu: "They're not as good as Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai."

Chen Jiazhi: "You don't understand. These are called the Black and White Devils. Naming them Little Black and Little White doesn't sound impressive at all. If you expect them to guard the warehouse, you must give them resounding names. Besides, they are only small now, but they will be quite big when they grow up."

Li Xiu blinked, feeling that it made some sense, but something seemed wrong. Was the black puppy so majestic?
"That's it, black pup and white pup."

Chen Jiazhi called out to the two puppies twice and reached out to touch them. The two dogs slowly retreated to the corner of the wall, barking non-stop.

Chen Jiazhi didn't tolerate it. He picked it up and checked its limbs and teeth.

The two dogs are indeed pretty good, and in the dog world, they can be called handsome puppies.

After watching the dog for a while and making a simple doghouse in the spacious house, Chen Jiazhi and Li Xiu went out to the fields.

...

How long does it take an adult to plow an acre of land with a hoe?
The answers vary.

But Chen Jiazhi had a rough idea of ​​Ao Deliang and Qi Yongfeng's level these days.

Qi Yongfeng and his wife started working on the 4th. As of yesterday, it took a total of 12 days, and they were able to finish plowing all 5 acres of land this morning.

These include spreading quicklime, fermenting pig manure, spraying disinfectant and other processes.

Ao Deliang and his wife started work on the 8th. As of yesterday, they had worked for a total of 5 days, using the same process, and had completed about 3 acres of land.

At the same time, the two families not only dug the ground, but also participated in the work of harvesting vegetables, watering, thinning seedlings, etc. in the 6.8 acres managed by Ao Dehai.

The efficiency is pretty good.

There are also a lot of vacant land in the field. In addition to the two acres of Chinese cabbage planted in field No. 7, there are a total of 8 acres of vacant land in fields No. 7 and No. 8.

In addition, in the Aodehai management area, 0.3 acres of land No. 1 has been empty for several days, and the last crop was Yongcai.

There is still 0.5 mu on No. 2, and the last crop was Yongcai and Chinese cabbage;
5-1号也有0.5亩空地，上一茬是5.9和5.18播种的菜心，至于5-2，则在5.31和6.7分别播种了两批各0.25菜心。

Among these three vacant lots, No. 1 has been exposed to the sun for the longest time, followed by No. 2, and finally No. 5.

After a round of consideration, Chen Jiazhi took into consideration factors such as repeated cropping and reducing later diseases and pests.

It was finally decided to transplant cowpeas into Plot 1, sow Chinese kale into Plot 2, and sow mustard greens into Plot 5-1.

Although kale is also a leafy vegetable, years of experience have taught him that sowing kale in the same land where cauliflower is grown can also reduce pests and diseases.

In addition, No. 7 and No. 8, because the plots are large, each of 1 mu, and have the longest drying time, are mainly used to continue sowing Chinese cabbage, along with transplanted kale and broccoli seedlings and the remaining cowpea seedlings.

Four days later, the Chinese kale and broccoli seedlings in the plug trays have sprouted, with an emergence rate of about 85%, which is pretty good. Transplanting will have to wait until July.

In addition, he also looked at the condition of the next few batches of vegetables.

There are still 5 batches of Chinese cabbage, namely 5.21, 5.22, two batches of 5.23, and 5.24.

The next batch will be sown on May 5.25th due to the heavy rain on May 5.30th, followed by May 5.31st and June 6.2nd.
The Dragon Boat Festival has ignited market sentiment in advance these two days, but this batch of dishes is prepared for June 6.18th.

After the festival, the heat will subside a little, and it’s time to slow down the pace of harvesting vegetables.

If a batch of Chinese cabbage is harvested in two days, the batch of Chinese cabbage on the 18th will be exactly the two batches of Chinese cabbage sown on May 5.23rd. The growing period is 26 days, which is the peak production period.

After persisting for a few days, we harvested a day or two earlier at 5:30 and continued the work.

After looking at batch after batch of dishes and having a clear idea of ​​what to do, Chen Jiazhi went to find Ao Dehai, Ao Deliang and Qi Yongfeng to arrange today's work.

Because it is the Dragon Boat Festival,

He also wanted to slow down the pace, so the tasks arranged for today were not so heavy.

By asking each family to go home earlier in the morning and leave later in the afternoon, the amount of vegetables harvested was directly reduced by about 600 kilograms.

But there is also the task of harvesting more than 800 kilograms of vegetables.

It's just a little easier than the previous two days.

Chen Jiazhi said, "I've been too busy these past few days, so I won't treat you to a meal. I'll treat you to a meal and a drink together later when I'm free. Let's get over it first."

Ao Deliang smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Chen, as long as I can harvest more vegetables and make more money, I don't really care about these things."

Chen Jiazhi looked at Ao Dehai who was silent again and said: "Dehai, you have worked hard during this period. If you need anything, please tell me."

"No, boss."

Ao Dehai pondered and said, "I was thinking about harvesting vegetables. These batches of vegetables have entered the harvest period one after another. They are sprouting very quickly. The price has been high recently, but today we have to harvest 500 kilograms less cabbage hearts. Isn't the price drop too drastically?

We don’t really care whether we celebrate the holiday or not. We all come here to work. It would be nice to have more rest today, but we still want to earn more money.

There are so many vegetables in this batch. If we can't keep up with the speed of the dishes later and they all bolt, it will be a loss for both you and us."

Chen Jiazhi was stunned and looked at Ao Dehai: "Did you come up with all this yourself?"

Ao Dehai: "Yes, I'm in charge of this batch of vegetables now. They look different every day. The two or three acres of Chinese cabbage behind them are planted very close together. I'm worried that the market won't be so good later. Boss, am I overthinking it?"

"No, you think well."

Chen Jiazhi took out cigarettes and gave some to the three of them. Ao Dehai once again impressed him. Being able to think proactively was very valuable for training.

But how would he explain it?
There is no other way but to rely on metaphysics and let God take the blame again.

After lighting a cigarette, Chen Jiazhi spoke: "Under normal circumstances, Dehai, your idea is the most correct, but I am considering that there is a high possibility of unexpected factors recently, such as heavy rain.

In addition, even if there is no such thing, according to the current market situation, the price will only be slightly lower, and there will be no problem selling out the vegetables, and your commission income will not be less.

The only risk of loss is on me.

You don’t have to worry, I’m still in good shape now, so earning less money won’t affect me.”

After a few brief explanations, Chen Jiazhi felt that his management model was okay.

It allows people to maintain their subjective initiative.

Talented people with potential will emerge on their own, like Ao Dehai, who can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

Ao Dehai also understood.

Just gamble.

He was a little confused about his boss's behavior, thinking that there were better opportunities, but he couldn't refuse.
