Chapter 149 Planning to Plant Potted Plants
When Ye Zhen was hiding in the house carving something, the village chief came to his door.
It's not for Ye's father, but for her.
Ye Zhen was confused and asked doubtfully, "Why did the village chief ask me to do something?" After all, Ye's father was the one who took care of everything in the Ye family, and the best she could do was to give some advice.
Ye's father was not sure either, "Maybe he has something to ask you!"
The village chief did have something to tell him about. It's not that the strawberries in the village are selling well, but that the villagers who followed suit in growing strawberries are making a lot of money.
The money in the village’s public account is increasing day by day, and the village accountant’s smile is more obvious than that of the village chief wherever he goes.
Ye Zhen’s strawberry seeds have a high yield, a long fruiting period, and the fruit is sweet. Most importantly, they are easy to grow and can be grown in a fool-proof manner. As long as you remember to weed every day, the yield will be guaranteed!
Even if other people don’t know how much they earn exactly, they always have a scale in their hearts.
It’s a pity not to grow strawberries!
That was a very anxious night and I couldn't sleep at all!
Why didn't you spend money on seeds? How much did you spend on seeds? Compared with the harvest now, it's nothing!
Some villagers regretted so much that they slapped themselves so many times and wanted to beat themselves to death for being so stingy.
There was no way to suppress the desire to remedy the situation, but unfortunately it was not suitable to grow strawberries now, and the villagers also went to the Ye family to ask.
But some villagers who were more clever refused to give up and ran to the village chief's house, asking him in a shameless manner to think of a solution.
It is impossible that in one village, a dozen farmers who followed the strawberry planting trend are prospering, while the remaining majority are still struggling for life, right?
Some villagers who grow strawberries have already found bricklayers and are waiting for the village to settle the bills after the New Year so that they can start preparing to rebuild their houses and build bigger houses at the beginning of the new year.
Let them watch and they can't do it!
Then the village chief has to think of a solution, right?
Anyway, there are many single people in the village! As the head of the village, I have to make the decision!
Look, the village chief hadn't even finished his happy look at home when the villagers blocked his door every few days and it seemed that his head was turning bald again.
After thinking about it over and over again at home, I could not find a solution. Facing the villagers' expectant eyes, I had to shamelessly go to the Ye family to discuss and see if they could provide any suggestions.
We can still grow something in the second half of this year. The winter here is not cold and the area is large, so we should be able to grow something that can be sold at a high price, right?
The village chief embarrassedly told Ye Zhen his purpose. Ye Zhen understood it and after thinking about it, he actually came up with an idea.
It doesn't snow here in winter, and the coldest temperature is only around 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. She improved the watermelon seeds and cultivated watermelons that can adapt to low temperature climates. They are put on the market in winter and grown outdoors, saving the cost of materials for building greenhouses.
"Village Chief, how about this? We can still plant another crop of watermelons now! If we plant them now, they will definitely be more popular than the watermelons grown in other greenhouses!"
After all, quite a few people eat watermelon during Chinese New Year!
Speaking of the Chinese New Year, Ye Zhen had other ideas.
So she also told the village chief: "Here we always buy one or two pots of kumquats, small orange potted plants, and flowers for the New Year. How about we plant some dwarf orange trees or something like that?"
"Of course, this kind of orange is not only for viewing, but also for eating."
The village chief thought that Ye Zhen’s idea was feasible, but he would ask other village cadres for their opinions on this matter. Apart from that, the village chief still had some questions.
"If we grow watermelons, can you help us get some good seeds?"
Ye Zhen smiled: "I have some, but I don't know how many exactly the village chief wants?" She turned around and started breeding. Now that her cultivation level has improved, it's just a matter of breeding, which is very convenient.
The village chief was overjoyed: "Okay! Okay! I'll hold a meeting later, look at some of the plants, and then buy seeds from you."
The village chief did not ask where Ye Zhen got the seeds, but continued to ask:
"Should we buy saplings for the orange pot plants? It's probably too late to plant them now, right?"
"It's not too late. I have some seedlings in the back hill, but not many. I still suggest planting watermelons as the main crop!"
After hearing Ye Zhen's words, the village chief nodded repeatedly, "What kind of flowers are better?"
The village has never grown it before, and the village chief really has no idea what it is, let alone what varieties are popular on the market.
Ye Zhen is really creative. What is sold at the New Year market here are daffodils, phalaenopsis, lilies, silver willows, wintersweets, pitcher plants, azaleas, golden fruits, money trees, lucky bamboos and anthuriums, all of which have auspicious meanings.
Some are fresh cut flowers, and some are potted plants, but if you want them to look good and be competitive, Ye Zhen still recommends potting those that are easy to grow.
Firstly, it can be kept for a long time, and secondly, Ye Zhen intends to cultivate plants suitable for novices.
"Just plant potted annual flowers. I'll draw up a list and the village chief will ask the villagers to choose what to plant and record it down. I'll try to get the seedlings."
The village chief was so happy that he didn't know what to say. After thanking Ye Zhen, he turned around and called a meeting with the villagers.
Watermelon seeds are available and can be cultivated in the evening. However, the various potted flower seeds have not been selected yet, and I have to go to the planting base in Wuping Mountain.
It’s a good time to go to the deep pit and get some spirit stones.
Grabbing a few sacks, Ye Zhen drove straight to the planting area in the south of the city.
I haven't been here for a while. The flowers in the planting area are blooming. There are many vehicles coming and going, which are local and non-local purchasing wholesalers. Some employees in the park are collecting seeds and transplanting seedlings.
"Boss, here I come again."
Ye Zhen found the boss with a smile. She had communicated with him on the phone before coming and the boss knew that she came to buy flower seedlings. The boss didn't waste any words and took her directly to the flower planting area.
"Look and see what flowers you want to buy. These are the ones that are blooming now, and those over there are out of season, but they also have seeds."
The boss pointed at the various flowers, as if Ye Zhen had picked them at random.
I have to say that there are indeed many varieties of flowers here. Ye Zhen has never seen such a wide variety of flowers in his life. They are so colorful that they look like pieces of floral cloth from a distance.
"Boss, please give me one pot of each color and variety of these Phalaenopsis orchids, and one pot of each of these azalea potted plants. Also, please give me one pot over there, one pot over here, one pot over here!"
"Okay, what else do you want?" The boss asked Ye Zhen while asking someone to come over and move the things.
Ye Zhen sat and looked around. She had just ordered a lot of flowers and plants. Seeing that there were no dwarf fruit trees in pots, she asked the boss:
"Boss, what other potted plants do you have?" It was obvious that they felt there were not enough varieties.
How could the boss be underestimated by Ye Zhen? He had so many varieties that he didn't even know exactly how many there were, after all, he had to import new varieties every year.
The boss took Ye Zhen to another piece of land and pointed ahead with a hint of pride:
"Look here. There are not only flower and grass potted plants, but also various fruit tree potted plants. They are all planted and maintained. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
Ye Zhen was indeed very satisfied. The fruit trees here have all been maintained by special people. Just look at the pot of dwarf crabapple in front of him. It is only knee-high, but already full of small green crabapples. The leaves are also emerald green, and the trunk is short, thick and full of vitality.
There are also pomegranate potted plants over there. In addition to the flame-colored pomegranate flowers, there are also small green pomegranates. Pomegranates have good meanings. As long as they can bloom and bear fruit during the Chinese New Year, they will definitely be popular.
It is completely stress-free to cultivate these leaves, and it is no problem to make them bloom out of season.
Not bad, not bad. Ye Zhen nodded secretly and waved his hand like a domineering president:
"Boss, give me one of each of these fruit tree pots, and I want all of these too."
The feeling of being a domineering boss is really good. I am addicted to shopping.
"Do you want them all? These potted plants that have been growing for several years are not cheap." The boss kindly reminded. After all, some of them require technical pruning and good maintenance. The varieties that Ye Zhen just mentioned were many, and they would not be cheap if added together.
"It's okay, I'll take them all." The family had a steady flow of money, so they were not short of money.
Okay, since Ye Zhen said so, the boss did not hesitate and immediately called a car for transportation.
After paying the deposit, Ye Zhen drove to Wuping Mountain, set up an illusion array around him, and flew directly to the deep pit.
