Chapter 020 I studied agriculture
This medicinal herb merchant has been cooperating with Yang Zengyue for many years without any problems, so he is confident in his character.
Uncle Liu has always been helping her supervise the work. He is honest and fair, and the workers he calls on are all diligent.
In addition, Yang Zengyue will give Uncle Liu an additional fee for supervision and weighing.
After telling Uncle Liu that she would come back before six o'clock to get her wages, she and Chen Jiaer drove away in a hurry in the pickup truck.
The two of them took the driving test when they were eighteen years old. During the seven years of the apocalypse, their team had always had a car for missions, so they were already experienced drivers.
Yang Zengyue did not drive recklessly. Instead, he obeyed traffic rules and came to the place where seeds were sold. After parking the car, the two of them went into the store.
With a clear goal, Yang Zengyue asked her boss to get her varieties whose seeds she could save for the next year. She did not choose those products that were high-yielding but required buying new seeds every year.
Chen Jiaer was confused about this, so she asked quietly. Yang Zengyue explained to her, "Even if the seeds of these high-yield varieties germinate after harvest, the growth and harvest in the second year will not be good. We don't have the ability to produce seeds, so we use all the old varieties. The seeds left after the harvest of these old varieties can be planted the following year."
This was also the only way for villagers to obtain seeds when they grew their own grains and crops.
Chen Jiaer gave Yang Zengyue a thumbs up.
Seeing the two young women buying so many seeds at once, the boss was very puzzled and asked, "You two don't look like you guys are farmers. Are you buying so many seeds just for fun?"
Yang Zengyue concentrated and thought for a moment before replying to his boss, "Then you've made a mistake, boss. Although my family hasn't been farming in recent years, we are indeed farmers. I even studied agriculture in college. So, I'm going home during the summer vacation to buy some seeds and practice."
Her words sounded very serious, not like a joke at all. The boss actually felt a little sorry for the two girls.
What a pity for such a good-looking guy.
Why not do something else but deal with mud lumps? How can you endure that kind of hardship?
The boss shook his head.
However, I guess these two girls were just playing around and wasting some food seeds.
Yang Zengyue glanced at his boss and understood his thoughts clearly.
However, if she cared about what others thought, she would not be Yang Zengyue.
Originally planning to buy more seeds, Yang Zengyue was worried that purchasing in large quantities would be too eye-catching, so he and Chen Jiaer went to another store.
The two people went to several stores and bought hundreds of kilograms of seeds, including rice, corn, peanuts, soybeans, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, beans, watermelons, etc.
Yang Zengyue bought seeds of almost all the vegetables and fruits he could think of.
According to her previous plan, she wanted to plant 30 acres of rice, and now is just the right time to sow.
The climate here in Kunshan is pretty good, and we can grow two crops of rice every year. In the past, this was the busy season for both farming and harvesting.
The rice seedlings can be planted around the beginning of August in the Gregorian calendar and harvested in October. They can also be dried and stored in warehouses.
Plant ten acres of corn and leave the remaining ten acres for winter wheat. Even if there is no spring next year, the wheat yield may be very low and drying will also become a problem.
As for sweet potatoes, potatoes, sesame seeds, peanuts and peppers, these drought-resistant crops can be planted on reclaimed wasteland.
Rice can only be planted this season for now. It will not be suitable for planting next year or even later.
Winter wheat is okay, but the yield is unlikely to be good.
Because the sunlight necessary for crop growth will disappear completely for a long time, and the sun will not appear again until three years later.
It is obviously not realistic to grow rice in greenhouses. At that time, we can only grow potatoes, soybeans and other vegetables and fruits.
The rice harvested before the winter month was enough to last them a long time.
After buying the seeds, Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer did not stay and went straight home.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.
The two hungry people ate a bowl of noodles and Yang Zengyue went down the mountain again.
She had to ask the villagers for help.
In order to prepare the rice fields for sowing, we had to rent micro-tillage machines from other villages, hire people, and arrange all kinds of work.
Chen Jiaer moved the seeds from the mountain into the warehouse, sorted and packed them, and also marked the seeds, so that the seeds' shelf life could be extended.
After doing all this, Chen Jiaer clapped his hands and looked at the full warehouse, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
She found that she had a lot to learn and she wished she could divide herself into three parts.
Jiuxiao was not idle after they left.
After the exercise, he picked up his phone and made a call, asking Xie Baigu, the head of the Xie family of this generation, to transfer all the dividends he had received over the years to his bank account.
In addition, before hanging up the phone, Jiuxiao asked Xie Baigu to bring the children to Sikunshan, as he had something to tell him.
Xie Baigu was stunned for a long time after receiving the call.
I looked at the phone notes and it did show Grandpa Jiu.
This was the number her grandfather asked her to save when he passed away seven years ago, and he told her that if she received a call from this number, she must fulfill any request.
You have to know that this ancestor of the Xie family has never contacted his family for so many years.
Xie Baigu frowned tightly. She was not worried that the Xie family could not come up with the money, but she was afraid that Grandpa Jiu would be cheated.
Besides, what can't be said over the phone? Why does she have to take Xie Rongchuan with her?
After thinking for a while, Xie Baigu called her son who was still sleeping and told him to get up and not go anywhere, as she had something to tell him.
Xie Rongchuan got up after receiving the call. When he went downstairs, he saw his mother Xie Baigu with a very serious expression. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something strange happened in the Meng family again?
Xie Rongchuan walked over to Xie Baigu and sat down, and asked anxiously, "Mom, what could have made you so anxious so early in the morning? Could it be about their family?"
Xie Baigu couldn't remember who Xie Rongchuan was talking about. He paused for a moment before saying, "No, it's your mother who told you about it before. Your great-grandfather's youngest brother, your ninth great-grandfather, just called me and asked for his share of the Xie family's dividends over the years."
Xie Rongchuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't related to the Meng family, it would be a small matter.
"Then just give it to me." Xie Rongchuan didn't care at all. It was originally Ninth Master's money.
Xie Baigu rolled his eyes. Xie Rongchuan was still too young to think too deeply. "Why would he, a man in his seventies, need so much money? Something big must have happened, or he must have been scammed."
Xie Rongchuan thought for a long time before he remembered that Xie Baigu had introduced him to this Ninth Master before: "He, I remember you said before that he was a cultivator and didn't care about material things. It's really suspicious that he suddenly wanted so much money. Mom, didn't you ask the Ninth Master?"
Xie Baigu glanced at his son and said, "How could I not ask? If I did, he would casually say he wanted to launch a tourism project and solicit sponsorship."
"So?" Isn't it good to work on the project? Xie Rongchuan didn't understand his mother's worries.
