Chapter 179 Experimental Field
The spring ploughing has begun, and Su Mo's winter greenhouse vegetable planting experiment has also come to an end. She wrote a summary report and submitted it to Fu Ming. She also set up a new cultivation project and asked for a piece of land in Lujia Village Brigade and Lijiaao.
Fu Ming looked at the report submitted by Su Mo, recorded the daily growth data in detail, listed the various problems encountered and solutions, and finally made an economic benefit evaluation.
Su Mo had previously discussed the vegetables grown in the greenhouse with the director of the commune canteen and sold them to them. This matter was also reported to Fu Ming.
In winter, this kind of green leafy vegetable can be sold for more than 1 cent per kilogram. Because they are from the same commune and this planting is not mainly for profit, they are settled at 1 cent per kilogram.
In more than two months, the leeks were harvested twice and the rapeseed was harvested once. The leeks were planted a lot, with more than 200 kilograms of leeks and nearly 100 kilograms of rapeseed, with a total income of 31.2 yuan.
The commune approved 30 yuan for Su Mo's research this time. Now not only has the funds been earned back, but an extra 1.2 yuan has been given.
Fu Ming looked at Su Mo with admiration. As expected of Secretary Geng's niece, her ability should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Su Mo's new cultivation project was approved with a wave of his hand.
"Comrade Su, you can compile a copy of this report and submit it to the county agricultural department, and copy a copy for me."
When the county meeting was held, he took it to everyone to circulate as a model.
According to Comrade Su's ability, the rating of level 28 is too low, and he has to apply for her to be promoted to another level.
The next day, Su Mo took the approval note from the commune and went to Lijiaao to find the production team leader there.
Captain Li wanted to approve a good piece of land directly, but Su Mo insisted on not affecting normal farming. Su Mo walked around and chose a piece of land closest to the cowshed among the private plots reserved in Lijiaao.
Captain Li looked at Su Mo's big belly, frowned and said, "Researcher Su, do you want to change another one?"
Their Lijiaao was originally on the mountain, and this piece of land was at the top. If she crawled around with a big belly and accidentally slipped, who would be responsible?
Su Mo waved her hand, "Captain Li, it's okay. The soil of this land is more suitable. It's right here. I need to use some cow dung or something like that, which will be more convenient."
Seeing Su Mo's insistence, Captain Li had no choice but to give up, "Then I'll arrange for someone to help you turn the land."
This land is not big, less than three acres. Find a young man and it will be turned over in half a day.
"Thank you, Captain Li." Su Mo thanked him.
"By the way, when my experimental crops grow up, can I ask the people there to help me take care of them, so that they won't be accidentally destroyed by animals from the mountains." Su Mo pointed to the cowshed.
In the cowshed, you can see this land at a glance.
Captain Li hesitated for a moment. He wanted to ask other members to help, but since they had to come up to watch, it would be best to ask the people in the cowshed to help.
"Okay, I'll tell them after you plant it."
Su Mo thanked him and went back to the Lujia Village Brigade to ask for a piece of land. Based on the same principle, the land she asked for was also at the foot of the mountain, not far from the sheepfold and cowshed of the brigade.
Lu Baoguo also arranged for someone to turn the land for Su Mo.
In principle, they could ignore the turning, but Su Mo was pregnant and they were from the same brigade, so Lu Baoguo arranged it.
However, Su Mo was not prepared to take advantage of others. She applied for the funds for turning the land, which was 30 cents per piece of land, and she would give it to the people when the time came.
The family's private plot would be explored after Lu Changzheng returned. Su Mo also asked him to find apple and pear tree seedlings, and then plant one of each in the corner of the yard.
She was now at the second level of supernatural power, and with the help of the land, it was not impossible for her to get up in the middle of the night to induce the fruits when the fruits were almost grown.
Su Mo spent two days to prepare the two experimental plots and asked someone to build wooden fences. Then she went back to the commune and asked the agricultural officer to get the latest seeds.
She had read almost all the cultivation and grafting techniques of later generations in books, and now it was time to put them into practice.
She also planned to divide them into several types, one was to use seeds from later generations directly, and the other was to use seeds from now. After she used supernatural powers to warm them, she would use the cultivation techniques of later generations to plant them.
She planned to start with vegetables, which have a short growth cycle and produce results faster. Then she would slowly develop to major crops.
While the brigades were busy with spring ploughing, gold mining also began, and Lu Changzheng was busy all the time.
After the snow melted, relevant experts re-surveyed the content of the deposit. It was conservatively estimated that the vein gold resource reserves of the mine were nearly 70 tons, which ranked among the top five existing gold mines. Naturally, the national leaders attached great importance to it and transferred various resources to allow mining at the fastest speed.
There were at least a dozen vehicles entering and leaving the gold mine every day. Before, the members were very surprised to see the cars, but now they are no longer surprised.
Those with children even warned their children to play less on the main road to avoid being hit by cars.
*****
When Su Tingqian and Mo Yurong found Su Mo wielding a hoe and planting vegetables under the cowshed, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
But in broad daylight, with other outsiders present, they did not dare to recognize her and just stared at her for a few more times.
Su Mo, on the other hand, greeted them very naturally, "Hello everyone, I am Su Mo, an agricultural researcher from the commune. This is the test site I use to plant vegetables. In the evening, please help to look after it occasionally, so that no animals from the mountain will come down and ruin the things."
"Okay." Several people nodded in response, and then followed the members who were driving the cattle back to the cowshed.
Su Mo stayed here until noon on purpose, just to see her parents.
It was the first time for Su Tingqian and Mo Yurong to go to the fields. When they arrived last year, the autumn harvest had already ended.
After not seeing each other for a while, everyone had lost a lot of weight. They had finally gained some meat in the winter, but it was all gone.
The people in the cowshed did the hardest work and were assigned to turn the hardest soil.
Not only could they not lift their hands after working with hoes all day, but their hands were also covered with blisters. When the blisters broke, their palms would be rubbed until they bled.
Su Mo continued to plant the rest of the land in her experimental garden. After the members who drove the cattle away left, Su Mo went to the cowshed with a backpack on her back.
Spring planting was no easier than autumn harvest, and they still had to keep up with the food. In the backpack was a piece of wild boar that she had just taken out from the space.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cowshed, Su Mo deliberately spoke loudly, asking them to help keep an eye on the experimental site, so that if anyone saw it, they would not suspect anything.
Su Tingqian and Mo Yurong were washing their hands carefully at the door. When they heard Su Mo's voice, it was too late to wrap the cloth around them.
Su Mo saw their bloody hands and burst into tears.
Seeing his daughter crying, Su Tingqian waved his hands and said, "This is what happened the first time you do farm work. Your mother and I have no experience, and we forgot to wrap the cloth strips. It will be fine after a few days when the welts are gone."
Mo Yurong also said, "It just looks a little scary, but it doesn't hurt much."
Su Mo wiped her tears quickly and took out the meat from the basket: "Mom and Dad, cook this meat for lunch. I will bring you some medicine tomorrow."
"I will come here every one or two days. Tell me if you need anything."
Mo Yurong looked at Su Mo's belly and said worriedly, "Xiao Mo, your belly is so big, why are you still doing this research?" Logically, she should take a rest.
Su Mo waved her hands, "It's okay, the doctor said that I need to move more so that I can have a better birth in the future. I'm taking care of myself, don't worry."
Because of her supernatural powers, she has a deep sense of connection with the children, and she can always tell whether they are okay or not.
"I won't stay any longer, you guys should hurry up and make lunch." Su Mo left after saying that. Normally, she would only have to say a few words, and it would not be good to stay too long.
