After dinner, Lu Fengnian first praised Su Yan, saying that she had given a good lecture today, and then told her that he had discussed her proposal to reclaim the wasteland mountain with several other leaders and they thought Su Yan's proposal was very good.
Although crops cannot be grown on the mountain, if fruits and medicinal herbs can be grown, and chickens and ducks can be raised on the mountain, it can also generate income for the troops.
"Xiao Yan, your proposal is very good. We have decided to hold another meeting this afternoon. If it is passed unanimously, we will submit a report to the higher authorities to apply for land reclamation. If the application is approved, we will give you another credit."
Su Yan didn't expect that her father-in-law, who usually seemed quite calm, could be so impetuous and decisive when doing things.
It would be great if I could sell the medicinal seeds, medicinal seedlings and fruit seedlings in the space to them, which would generate income for them as well as for myself.
She also couldn't spare the mountains and fields to plant those medicinal herbs and fruit trees, and she couldn't do anything about the uncultivated mountain in the space by herself.
It was very tiring for her to use her mental power to harvest the fruits, and it would almost cost her her life to open up the wasteland in the mountain. The trees in that mountain alone would take her a hundred years to cut down.
Thinking of this, Su Yan looked at Lu Fengnian expectantly, "Dad, if you really want to grow medicinal herbs and fruit trees, can I help you with the purchase?"
Lu Fengnian glanced at Su Yan and asked doubtfully, "Purchasing? Let's not talk about whether the land reclamation will be approved. Even if it is approved, we still don't know what medicinal herbs and fruit trees to plant.
"We'll have to wait for the experts to tell us what's suitable to grow on the mountain. We'll definitely have to go to the production area to buy the seeds and seedlings. How can we let you do this since you haven't even served in the army yet?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately lowered her head in anger. Suddenly, she looked at Lu Ting who was sitting opposite her, and a smile appeared on her face again. "Dad, why don't we let Lu Ting handle the procurement of seeds and seedlings? As the deputy head of the group, he should do some serious work for everyone."
Lu Ting was completely confused, not knowing what his wife was planning on him. As long as he wasn't on a mission, he would usually be training new recruits at the base. How could that be considered as not doing his job?
"Yan Yan, the land reclamation matter hasn't been approved yet. It won't be too late to bring it up after it's approved. Besides, even if we send people to purchase, it's impossible for one person to have the final say."
Su Yan thought about it and it was true, but although purchasing could be done by several people, the person who managed this matter was at least a regimental-level cadre.
She thought it would be better if Lu Ting was in charge. Maybe she could find a way to sell the fruit seedlings in the space. If he was often away on missions, she would be worried at home.
It doesn't matter whether she loves him or not. She doesn't want to be a widow at such a young age and then be branded as a jinx.
After chatting, Su Yan planned to go back to rest, and Lu Ting stayed at Lu's house and asked Lu Jin to ride a bicycle.
Lu Ting was not at home, so Su Yan locked the door, first sat cross-legged in meditation for half an hour to cultivate her mental strength, and then began to harvest two acres of gentian with her mind.
I plan to clean and dry these Platycodon grandiflorums, pack them in sacks, and then find a way to sell them to a purchasing station when I have the chance.
Anyway, dried medicinal herbs will not go bad even if they are stored for a few more years. If there is no time to harvest the medicinal herbs, just let them grow in the fields for a few more years. Anyway, some medicinal herbs become more valuable as they age.
After tidying up the platycodon, she went to the cafeteria and started eating the food from the second table. To be honest, she didn't like salted fish very much, and she didn't feel full at all during her lunch today.
Now that her bicycle had been registered, she planned to ride it back to her parents' home in the afternoon. She had gotten her father's bicycle ticket, so she had to go back and thank him.
She first went to the basement and found a large box of wool yarn, which was filled with small boxes of wool yarn weighing two kilograms each.
I picked up three pounds of navy blue wool and two pounds of white wool, put them in a bag, and stuffed two cans of honey in it. Thinking that it would be difficult to buy food, I picked up a bag of twenty pounds of flour and put it aside.
After packing up her things, she sat down to look through the materials first, and then began to write seriously the practical manual for artificial insemination of sows.
She found two books on pig farming, carefully checked the contents, and found that there were no modern scientific terms in them. She tore off the covers and stuffed all the information she had written into the books.
When I got the car keys and went to Lu's house, I found that they had all gone to work. Lu Jin didn't come out of the room and I didn't know what he was doing?
Su Yan just opened the bicycle key when Lu Jin opened the door and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to go out!"
"Well, I'm going back to my parents' house to get my high school textbooks. What happened to your mouth?"
"I hit the handlebar of a bicycle, but don't worry, the bicycle isn't damaged."
"You can find some medicine to rub on. I'm leaving first. By the way, I'll go back to the supply and marketing cooperative soon. What dishes do you want to eat?"
"No, sister-in-law, Mom said we'll have tofu and bean sprouts tonight."
Did the bean sprouts sprout in the basin? She didn't notice, but she did see the tofu in the bucket.
"If you're bored, go take a walk in the mountains!"
"Okay, I'll go get some firewood."
Did she mean that? She was just worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to this new home, so she asked him to go to the mountains to relax and unwind.
Su Yan ignored Lu Jin and rode away on her bike. Not to mention that this 28-bar bike was much heavier than bicycles in later generations, it would definitely be painful if she fell off the bike with it.
Su Yan first went to the hospital to give her parents some food and vegetables, as well as a few pounds of wool, and told them about buying a bicycle.
After delivering the things to them, I took the key home to get the textbooks for two years of high school, and then threw the books into the space.
I went to the farmer's market and bought three pounds of pork ribs and a pair of pig intestines, hung them on the handlebars of my bicycle, and walked to a deserted place. I took some food and vegetables from the space and tied them to the back seat.
After Lu Ting finds someone to build a stove for them, they will eat separately from now on. While everyone is here, they might as well have something good to eat.
After returning to Lu's house to unload the things, she rode her bike to the pig farm and handed the books and manuals to Zhang Minghao. Zhang Minghao wanted to invite her to visit the breeding farm of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Su Yan agreed. She was trying her best to have meat to eat during the New Year. Anyway, she didn't have any other job now, so it was always good to go out and meet people.
"Comrade Su, thank you so much for teaching us this morning and bringing us this important information this afternoon. We can't have pork right now, but these are the vegetables we soldiers grew ourselves. Take some home and eat them!"
"This is a collective thing, so let's not use it!"
"Comrade Su, you've made a contribution to our pig farm. Eating some food is nothing. Don't worry, everything has been registered and no one will say anything."
Su Yan didn't expect that Captain Zhang would be so generous. Before leaving, he prepared a large woven bag of vegetables for her, including a round pumpkin, four or five pounds of lentils, a large bundle of cowpeas, and some chicken greens and cherry radishes.
Doing good things will always be rewarded. Su Yan was happier than eating honey to receive these things.
Although she had vegetables in her space, the ones given by others were naturally more fragrant than those grown in her own space. Su Yan accepted them readily.
When she passed by the soap factory while leaving, she remembered that she had come to the farm today and had not visited the soap factory yet. Forget it, she decided to make some soap herself first!
That scoundrel Gu Li is finally gone, and Lu Jin can go home tonight. She can then send Lu Ting to sleep in the study so that she can go into the space and make handmade soap with beeswax and flower petals.
