Chapter 58 The Village Chief Arrives
There was chaos in the yard, and a guest came to the door - the village chief.
Ye Zhen perked up instantly. Did they come to talk about strawberries? This was a major event related to her cultivation.
After all, there is too little spiritual energy in this world. Ye Zhen’s meditation time for a month is not as good as half a quarter of an hour before. The difference is too big.
She can only rely on farming. The more diverse the types of things she plants, the more spiritual energy she can obtain, and the more vitality fed back through her spiritual roots will be sufficient. The two complement each other, and her cultivation will improve.
If one wants to expand the planting, in addition to leasing mountains and land, one also needs the cooperation of the villagers and the village chief. However, one also has to pretend to be confused, as it is not a good deal if one tries too hard.
Ye Zhen stepped forward to shake hands like an experienced man and asked directly:
"What can I do for you, village chief? I heard that the new rural construction is developing well. Are they going to build a road for our village?"
village head:……
Why is this girl so familiar?
The village chief smiled awkwardly. It would take money to build a road. So many nearby villages haven't built roads yet. Their village is even poorer. It's unclear when the road will be built.
He was also led astray by Ye Zhen and almost forgot the main thing. "Can your strawberries really have such a high yield? What kind of seeds are they? Is it difficult to grow?"
This time the village chief went out to inspect a well-known wealthy village in the next city. The village was really well developed. Not only did every household have a small Western-style building, but also all the infrastructure was complete. Walking through it, you could see that everyone had a car parked outside the yard.
There are not even many motorcycles and electric cars in their village! It is only by comparison that we can understand the huge difference. In wealthy villages, there are many roads and several schools. In their village, they have to climb mountains and travel dozens of miles to go to school!
The village chief was feeling very angry. Their village had been poor for so many years. He had tried every possible way, but it just couldn't develop. The village had a serious outflow of population, and the villagers were unable to drive the economy. The village was getting poorer and poorer.
The purpose of this investigation is to verify whether it is feasible for Ye Dad to grow strawberries.
The good development of Fu Yu Village is mainly due to the unique environment of their village. The kiwi fruits grown there are famous throughout the country. Every year, fruit merchants from all over the country come here to purchase in bulk. They don’t have to find ways to sell them themselves, as people deliver the fruits to their doorsteps.
He saw fruit trees everywhere in the mountains and fields. The fruits were not yet ripe, but they were already sold out early. Special kiwis were even exported overseas.
Some villagers even complain that they have planted too many fruits. They have to spend most of their time every year on the mountain looking after the fruit trees, which they feel is too hard since they earn enough money anyway.
Seeing what crazy words these people said, the village chief felt mixed emotions after walking around.
The joys and sorrows of different villages are not shared!
He just wanted to yell to the villager who said this: Let go and let our village come.
Thinking about what Ye Minghai said about leading the whole village to grow strawberries and become rich, the village chief, who was originally a little hesitant and worried, was inspired by the scene of the prosperous village: Let’s give it a try!
The village chief acted immediately and went back home. When he got back to the village, he happened to see Ye Zhen's family selling vegetables. Seeing such a high income, he became more determined in this idea.
So, as soon as the crowd left, he went back to the house to ask in detail.
The yield of Ye Zhen's strawberries cannot be explained in a few words. She buys all the varieties online, and most of the varieties are included. It's just that the seeds are optimized with spiritual energy every day, so the strawberries grown are still a little different from those on the market. Besides, with her around, everything is easy to grow.
But Ye Zhen couldn't just say it clearly, he just said happily and enthusiastically:
"This seed is easy to grow! Maybe the soil is fertile this year, and God is blessing our village, so we can seize the opportunity."
It's not like the village chief hasn't farmed before, and he doesn't even know what the land in the village is like. How fertile can the land be if it's overgrown with weeds? If God could bless him, he would have done it long ago. How come Ye Zhen, a college student who has read so many books, is still so feudal and superstitious?
Even though he is old and looks like an antique, he still doesn't believe it.
Ye Zhen raised the feudal banner and said half-truthfully:
"There is no telling how much rotten leaves and other things have accumulated in the fields where several people in our village grow crops. Only with fertile soil and good seeds can we grow good crops."
"The seeds are a bit expensive, but the variety is good. My college classmate helped me get them. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the backyard and take a look. The red strawberries have been picked, but there are still many growing."
As he spoke, he took the village chief directly to the backyard. Many of the runners from last time had grown into a large field of strawberries. After being nurtured for a few days, they began to bloom again. The original strawberry plants were covered with thick layers of small white flowers. When the time came, they would be full of fruits again.
"Look, these seedlings are transplanted from those big strawberry stumps. Planting strawberries requires fertile soil. We spread wood ash on the soil in advance, and then sterilize and get rid of insects. That's how the strawberries are grown."
The village chief has squatted down to take a look. The strawberries are full of blooming flowers. Even if he doesn't know the strawberry yield, he can guess it by looking at the blooming situation.
Although he had never grown strawberries before, it was rare to achieve such a high yield and taste without using any chemical fertilizers.
Ye Zhen sighed as he spoke:
"Who made our village poor? Some people can't think of a good way to make everyone rich. In order to lift our village out of poverty, I rushed to my hometown from the bustling big city without hesitation, gave up my stable job and comfortable life, and wanted to dig gold from the crops without fear of hardship and fatigue, and wanted to use my knowledge to help the villagers."
"I racked my brains and put in a lot of effort, and finally one day I came up with the idea of growing strawberries. The idea was good, but the process was bumpy. We didn't have good seedlings, so what should we do?"
"I asked friends and classmates for help, and went to the market to investigate, and finally found a high-yield strawberry suitable for our village environment."
Village Chief: "..." Who are the certain people?
If he remembered correctly, Ye Minghai's daughter majored in design in college, not agronomy. What does this have to do with farming?
Perhaps the village chief's suspicious look was too obvious, and Ye Zhen, who was talking nonstop, paused and continued to fool people:
"Learning is universal. Although I have never worked in the fields and have not systematically studied farming, this cannot stop me from leading everyone to prosperity. I bought many farming books and searched online. After repeated experiments and failures, I finally learned the truth through practice. Facts speak louder than words. I am a farming genius."
"See these strawberries? That's the proof."
Ye's father and mother, who followed along, looked doubtful about their lives.
Is this the same person as the Ye Zi they know?
Her daughter worked so hard, wasn't she just thinking about food every day? How come they didn't know that Ye Zi was so considerate of the villagers?
Can't you just press the strawberry into the ground, sprinkle some soil on it, and water it and it will grow?
Still reading agricultural books? There are books, but Dad Ye bought some seeds when he went to Jincheng last time. He wanted to learn how to grow some cash crops, so he bought them. Whether the books are effective or not depends on the seedlings growing here and there in the yard.
Oh, the empty piece of land has not sprouted yet, and has been occupied by Ye Zhen to plant strawberry seedlings.
Family members know their own business. Now the books are piled in the corner and covered with dust.
This is called multiple experiments and multiple failures. How can it be so unreliable?
Younger brother Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this. His sister was amazing. With such eloquence and the ability to deceive people, what could those brainwashing people do to her?
