"Uncle Tan, take a look at this."
When Ning Jing arrived, she brought a bamboo tube.
Now, it has finally come in handy.
Tan Dingguo glanced at Ning Jing and then looked at her bamboo tube.
Ning Jing lifted the lid, revealing two intertwined earthworms inside.
At first, Tan Dingguo was caught off guard and was quite startled.
"Red Star's wife, what are you doing?"
He frowned and shifted his body back slightly.
Seeing that he hadn't looked closely, Ning Jing simply dumped the two earthworms onto the table.
Then, pointing to a long, thin earthworm, he said, "These are earthworms that Tie Dan dug up from some of the more fertile lands in the village."
Then, pointing to another earthworm about the thickness of a chopstick, he said, "This is an earthworm that I had Tie Dan dig up and raise at home after composting."
Then he looked up at Tan Dingguo and said seriously, "Uncle Tan, the fertilizer made from raising earthworms can not only be used to raise earthworms at the time, but also the soil can be spread on the fields to fertilize them afterward."
Earthworms can be used to feed chickens and ducks, which will make the fields fertile and ensure a good rice yield.
The bran produced can be used to feed chickens and ducks, and the droppings from the chickens and ducks can be collected and composted.
This could easily become a chain that connects upstream and downstream. We could supply the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks to the county, and in this way, we could receive a sum of money every year.
Do you think this will work?
When Ning Jing made the comparison before and after, Tan Dingguo's eyes fell on the two earthworms.
Indeed, the distance between the two earthworms was not small.
As an old farmer, I know that earthworms only grow thick and strong in fertile soil.
Ning Jing said that she had raised the earthworm over several days, and it was indeed quite good.
"You're saying these earthworms are from your own compost?"
He still couldn't quite believe it. He looked up at Fu Hongxing, then at Ning Jing, and pointed at the earthworm, asking again.
Fu Hongxing smiled slightly but remained silent.
Since Ning Jing was the one who caused this, it's better for her to step in.
All he needs to do is act as a bridge and persuade Uncle Tan to agree.
Of course, this is all predicated on Ning Jing being unable to persuade Uncle Tan.
But clearly, he didn't need to get involved.
"Uncle Tan, as you know, a few days ago, Sister Guihua and I went to buy more than a dozen chicks."
Since we had nothing to feed them at home, I, along with Tiedan and Xiuhua, piled up several heaps of fertilizer specifically to raise earthworms.
Although two sites have already been dug, there are still several piles remaining. If you'd like to see them, I can take you there now for a closer look.
She said it so firmly, how could Tan Dingguo not believe her?
"If your composting method really works, it's not impossible to raise some chickens and ducks to try it out."
However, this side business still needs the county's approval.
Okay, I'll go to the county tomorrow and try to apply for a small-scale breeding farm. That way it'll be convenient, and if things don't work out, I can stop immediately and avoid huge losses.
Upon hearing Tan Dingguo's words, Ning Jing quickly nodded in agreement.
It's already a pleasant surprise that they agreed.
After all, if even agreeing is not an option, then even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients.
"Thank you, Uncle Tan, for trusting Ning Jing. Don't worry, we will definitely not let you down."
Fu Hongxing stood up and said to Tan Dingguo.
