Chapter 450 Visiting the fields and visiting again
This time she really had nothing to say.
Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Chunyan chatted for a while. Zhang Chunyan got a general understanding of Zhang Wanwan's situation and suggested visiting Zhang Wanwan's fields and farms.
Zhang Wanwan was straightforward and drove him to Xiqiao Village without saying a word.
Now they no longer enter or exit Xiqiao Village from the village entrance, but usually pass through the wasteland at the end of the village. For this reason, Zhang's father specially asked Li Yongshou to call a bulldozer to clear a dirt road for cars to pass, so that trucks picking up goods from outside can also enter and exit from this side.
As more cars come in and out, many villagers also walk through this side of the village. Now this place is much more lively than before.
When the two arrived at the farm at the end of the village, Zhang's father and his colleagues were busy. Some were going up the mountain to pick eggs, and some were going to the fields to apply fertilizer. Everywhere was a busy scene.
Zhang Wanwan led Zhang Chunyan to the bungalow to rest. Zhang's father was directing the villagers to load the goods. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the newcomer. "Girl, who is this?"
"Dad, this is a professor from the College of Agriculture at my university. He's engaged in agricultural research. I brought him here to visit our fields and farms."
Mr. Zhang always respected educated people. When he heard that the other party was a professor, he did not dare to neglect him at all. He trotted forward to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Hello, professor, please sit here. I will be busy for a while. Please feel free to do what you want."
Zhang Chunyan nodded with a smile, "It's okay, you are busy, just let Wanwan accompany me for a walk."
Zhang's father breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhang Wanwan to treat Zhang Chunyan well.
Zhang Wanwan first took Zhang Chunyan to the fields and introduced them to him: "In fact, my fields are the same as others, there is no difference, but we try to use farmyard manure for fertilizer. The farms on the mountain will sweep out a lot of feces every day. These feces will ferment for a few days and then be used to fertilize the fields. Vegetables grow well and naturally there will be insects, so catching insects is also a big deal. We check once a day in the morning and evening, and we also use manual labor, and never use pesticides, so the cost is high and the price is relatively expensive. Fortunately, the seeds are screened in advance, and we try to choose those that are resistant to diseases and pests, which can also reduce losses and reduce costs."
Zhang Chunyan nodded continuously, "It seems that you have also studied it seriously. If nothing else, just looking at the color of these vegetables, I can tell that you have raised them very well!"
After visiting the fields, Zhang Wanwan took Zhang Chunyan up the mountain. Although Zhang Chunyan was old, he was still very agile in climbing and his speed was not slow at all. When he got to the mountain, he found that there were various varieties of fruits planted here, chickens and ducks were raised under the trees, and some edible birds were also raised. The chirping of insects, birds, chickens and ducks, and the calls of chickens and ducks were so lively that it sometimes drowned out the sound of people talking.
Zhang Chunyan turned around and asked Zhang Wanwan, "It seems that you didn't see this bird for sale."
Zhang Wanwan did not hide it and replied frankly: "I raise these birds, but I don't sell them. They are used to eat insects. I don't give them other food, so they can only find insects by themselves. When the fruit trees start to bear fruit, I will have people put soft iron covers on the fruits, so that we don't have to worry about the birds eating the fruits. It's troublesome, but the effect is very good.
These birds have been breeding here for several generations and have completely settled here. Sometimes my dad would catch a few and bring them home to make soup for us. After all, these insect-eating birds are very nutritious and cannot be compared to those domestic birds that eat feed.”
"That's it!"
After Zhang Chunyan took a look around, he admired Zhang Wanwan more and more and gave her high praise. Then Zhang Wanwan took him to the sand farm on the beach.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw chickens and dogs running around in the farm. The chickens could really fly and climbed up the trees. The dogs were specially raised for guarding the farm. There were four dogs in total, and they were released for patrol at night.
Zhang Chunyan watched from the outside as workers caught chickens in the room, looking very embarrassed. He immediately laughed and said, "This chicken is really energetic!"
"Professor, please come and take a look at the eggs laid by this kind of chicken to see if they are different." Zhang Wanwan walked in front and led Zhang Chunyan to the warehouse. Zhang Baiyan and his team were shipping the goods. When they saw Zhang Wanwan and his team coming over, they just greeted them twice and continued to work.
Zhang Chunyan did not disturb them and followed Zhang Wanwan to see the eggs that had not been packed yet, his eyes full of curiosity and exploration.
Zhang Wanwan asked Qin's mother for the kitchen, took Zhang Chunyan directly to the kitchen, took out two small white porcelain bowls and cracked the eggs into them, and said proudly: "Professor, look, isn't this egg yolk very different?"
"Hiss! It's really different. It's darker than ordinary egg yolks, more orange-yellow. The nutritional value is obvious!" Zhang Chunyan exclaimed.
Zhang Wanwan nodded repeatedly, "You don't know, but I actually have a salted chicken fetus here, but this kind of thing is not accepted by the public, so it is only sold in Pu City and surrounding cities. It is usually eaten by the elderly and children, and the supply is also in short supply. Now I don't post these things on my circle of friends anymore, because I'm afraid that too many people want them and I can't ship them out. I'll ask Aunt Qin to bring you a few to try later."
Zhang Chunyan originally refused, but Zhang Wanwan directly brought him a plate.
After tasting it, Zhang Chunyan praised it continuously and insisted on buying her a bag when leaving, forcing her to spend several hundred yuan.
Zhang Chunyan gained a lot from this trip, but he had not yet mentioned the cooperation to Zhang Wanwan. Zhang Wanwan was not in a hurry and happily sent him away.
Qin Wenjun rarely saw her so active, and asked in confusion: "Wanwan, do you like Professor Zhang very much?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Wanwan asked in surprise.
"That's right. I felt that you were particularly excited after meeting Professor Zhang today. You weren't as calm as before. I haven't seen you so happy even after getting a big order." Qin Wenjun said in a low voice.
Zhang Wanwan smiled widely, winked at Qin Wenjun and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so smart! I really like Professor Zhang. He is the one who influenced me to develop agriculture. He is really a good professor who deserves respect!"
Seeing that Qin Wenjun couldn't understand, Zhang Wanwan didn't explain much and went upstairs skipping and jumping.
Two days later, Zhang Chunyan came again, this time with two young men, who were obviously his students. As soon as they sat down, they took out their notebooks. Zhang Wanwan immediately thought of the graduate students she saw at Zhang Chunyan's house. She couldn't help laughing and poured them some water, "Please have some."
"Thank you." The two men smiled politely, and even secretly glanced at Zhang Chunyan when drinking water. They relaxed only when they saw that he didn't care.
Zhang Chunyan took out his notebook and looked through it carefully for a while before saying to Zhang Wanwan, "Girl, I came to your place the other day to take a look and reported to my old friends when I went back."
