Chapter 176 Greenhouses and Sheds
What do agricultural students do?
Basically, they do whatever the farmers do.
The freshman year courses are simple but not easy.
Let’s start with simple pesticide application.
How much water should be added to one acre of land, how to save energy when spraying pesticides, and the key points of spraying pesticides posture.
There are also various plant grafting, scion and laboratory culture fungi...
Wen Chengxue's eyes swirled around: "It's hard to spray pesticides backwards."
Teacher Yu was even more upset, and he grabbed the students in the class and yelled, "You're taking too much? You're taking too much? Two tons of water for one acre of land?
Why don't you make a bigger well there?"
The animal husbandry teacher smiled and consoled him, "It's okay, Teacher Xiaoyu, our class is quite interesting.
He calculated that a pig needs to eat 18 tons of feed a day!"
Teacher Xiao Yu was speechless and pointed at the failed grafted branches behind him: "Your pigs at least know not to eat after feeding them too much, but what do you think we should do with this pile of firewood?
The few trees in the school are also unlucky.”
Hang Jingshu and his classmates from the animal husbandry school across the street looked at each other, neither of them able to say a word of comfort to the other.
Culturing bacteria is even more interesting.
It's just a small culture dish, but I can't grow what I want.
The way you hold the culture dish is wrong today, and the specific bacteria that you have carefully cultivated is ruined.
A lot of things would appear inexplicably at home, but they just couldn't be made to work in the laboratory.
Xiaohang's eyes turned into mosquito coils because of the abuse.
Teacher Xiaoyu lamented: "Student Xiaohang, you are also destined to be a practical person."
What does it mean? It means you are not suitable to enter the laboratory!
Hang Jingshu was very open about this: "It's okay, I came here just to learn agricultural knowledge, and the rest will come slowly."
After several years, she still couldn't conquer a small petri dish?
It's up to us!
Speaking of basic agricultural knowledge, Teacher Xiaoyu actually remembered something important: "By the way, next month, our school will organize a study trip to Jinan Agricultural University, and you can go with us then."
Hang Jingshu blinked his eyes. It seems that using blueberries to brush your face is effective.
What do you learn at Jinnong University? Of course, advanced plastic greenhouse technology.
In fact, greenhouse facilities and cultivation technology were already available in Beijing several decades ago, but due to equipment and funding issues, they were slow to be promoted.
The goal of having vegetables to eat in winter can only be achieved in a small amount and in a regional manner.
There is still a long way to go before every household can afford vegetables in winter.
In fact, greenhouses and sheds existed in ancient times, but they were only things owned by the rich. Ordinary people had never seen or even heard of them.
Large-scale greenhouses require more equipment than greenhouses and have more precise temperature control, but the initial investment is too large and the management is not in place. They were introduced from 1981 to 1985, but later gradually disappeared because they were not adapted to the market.
The domestic market is large and has a large population. Things that require too much initial investment will naturally not be able to adapt to the local market.
Farmers need to eat vegetables, but if a cucumber costs several yuan, they will definitely not eat it.
From the perspective of market economy, the fact that greenhouses are not popular is also related to the materials used in them.
Hang Jingshu had also used polyethylene film to make small canopies at home.
However, it is basically for good seedling germination. If you want to make a real vegetable greenhouse plastic film, you also need certain skills.
Jinan Agricultural University has been conducting this research since 1966. This time I went to study it in order to develop better in the future.
The students who went to Jinan Agricultural University this time were basically first and second year graduate students.
Suddenly Hang Jingshu showed up and everyone stared at the list.
"Who is Hang Jingshu?"
“When will undergraduates be able to participate in this kind of learning and research?”
Even though Hang Jingshu seems to be quite famous among the freshmen, it is only limited to undergraduates. Many seniors in their first and second year of graduate school usually have no time to pay attention to these things.
Undergraduates are considered very impressive in the eyes of ordinary people, but in professional fields they are just entry-level students.
Su Yinghong got to know Hang Jingshu through the blueberry incident, but she was only a student of the class of 1982 and had not had the opportunity to study at Jilin University with her teacher.
The students who were previously arranged to go had to be at least seniors, but this year, freshmen can also go?
What is the origin of this?
Su Yinghong came here just to join in the fun, but she didn't expect to get to have the first bite of the melon.
Several senior brothers were discussing enthusiastically: "This Hang Jingshu seems to be quite relevant."
"Maybe it's someone's child. Is there any teacher with the last name Hang among us?"
Some people have heard of Hang Jingshu's name: "Isn't he the provincial champion of Jibei this year, in the liberal arts?"
Some people were even more dissatisfied after hearing this: "What's wrong with being the top student in the province? What research results can she have in her freshman year? Published a special journal article? Or a patent?"
This is pure nonsense. It is impossible for her to have any research results as a freshman.
Is it possible that someone could have foreseen the future and started promoting agriculture since high school?
The discussions surrounding the list became increasingly heated, and everyone felt that the presence of Hang Jingshu here was problematic.
Yue Hongmei is very happy recently.
After she changed her mind last time, she actually felt that her research efficiency had improved.
The data from the recent experiments have been perfect, and the cultured bacteria are all doing well. Teacher Zhou is very satisfied with her recently.
It turns out that people can only grow after being slapped in the face.
As she came down the corridor with a cup of water, she saw everyone chattering around the exchange list.
"What are you all talking about here?"
Chen Hongbing is a first-year graduate student this year. He pointed at Hang Jingshu's name with an unconvinced look on his face, wanting Yue Hongmei to judge:
"Sister Yue, do you think there is something wrong with the teacher's list?
How can a freshman be qualified to participate in such an activity organized by the school?"
In previous years, the task was undertaken by tutors and students from various departments. However, even the department head went with us when we went to Beijing to study.
What was Hang Jingshu, a freshman who couldn't even tell the difference between a seedling and a herd, doing following them?
Isn't this just joining in the fun?
This is not the way to scan your face.
It was supposed to be a learning exchange meeting, but it turned out to be a joke.
Yue Hongmei walked over to take a look at the list, then, facing the expectant gazes of several people, she just said "Oh" and slowly left.
Chen Hongbing doubted his life: "Senior Sister Yue was also bribed?"
Who is Yue Hongmei?
The power forward under Teacher Zhou is invincible.
He can scold his fellow apprentices in literature and beat up the pony in martial arts. He is impulsive and unforgiving in words, but at least he is honest and kind, and his academic performance is not bad.
Everyone generally has a good impression of her.
If she encountered something like this normally, she would definitely not let it go so easily.
What happened today? Have you changed your personality?
Yue Hongmei originally wanted to tell them who Hang Jingshu was, but then she changed her mind and thought, since she was the one who always took the lead, she went straight into the laboratory without looking back.
Chen Hongbing and others cried out that they were doomed when they saw this. How powerful must the backing be for someone who could make even Senior Sister Yue afraid to say anything?
Yue Hongmei entered the laboratory very proudly. In two days, I will let you know how powerful Junior Sister Hang is.
The girls from 206 surrounded Hang Jingshu and escorted him to the car like stars surrounding the moon.
————————
Before leaving, Hang Jingshu had already informed his family.
The women in the family are all career-oriented. Hang Jingshu is busy, and Wang Silan is even busier than her.
The small commodity market updates and updates very quickly, especially for things like stickers. Often, the new ones are in place before the old ones are shipped out.
A slogan has been posted on the counter: You won’t lose money if you buy, you won’t be cheated if you buy, this is a boutique store with prices starting from 2 cents.
Now is different from the future.
In the future, whenever a new store opens, it must be promoted through various channels.
Distributing leaflets and holding activities are both promotional methods that modern people often come into contact with.
If you walk from the first floor to the fifth floor of a shopping mall, you will receive at least three or five flyers.
But in the early 1980s, the most common form of promotion was probably to invite dragon and lion dances to the opening of a restaurant, or to set off a few strings of red firecrackers.
It’s not that the promotional method doesn’t exist, but it can’t make people fall in love with it at first sight.
Why are the promotional prices now 9.9 yuan and 19.9 yuan?
This also involves a psychological implication.
When I go shopping in the supermarket, I always feel that this is cheap and that is cheap too.
But I am always dumbfounded when I pay the bill.
But in fact, 9.9 yuan is 10 yuan, and 19.9 yuan seems to be more than ten yuan, but in fact it is only 0.1 cent away from 20 yuan.
This marketing method is called the tail price strategy.
It looks cheap, but it's not that cheap at all.
This is a simple psychological suggestion.
As people's lives gradually improve and children have more pocket money, small commodities will naturally become more and more popular.
The decade or so after the millennium was a prosperous period for the development of small commodities.
Stores that sold items starting from two yuan were popping up everywhere, but gradually declined after the online shopping craze began.
The watches that Wang Silan brought back from Guangdong were snapped up crazily. More than a hundred electronic watches were sold out in less than two days.
She originally wanted to leave one for her son and daughter, but in the end there was no chance at all.
The second daughter was so busy that she had no time to rest. The electronic watch was the first step in the transformation.
Nowadays, the shops on Jianguo Road no longer sell particularly cheap hairpins and headbands, but have turned to selling high-end products.
There are rhinestone hairpins that can be sold for more than ten yuan each, as well as pearl hairpins, various exquisitely shaped greeting cards, and various bracelet and hairband decorations, all of which are styles not available in wholesale buildings.
There is everything in Chouzhou. In the era when people still used newspapers to wrap books, Wang Silan purchased some beautiful colored paper, which could not only be used for packaging but also sold as book covers.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Hang Jinghua closed the stall, counted all the money and recorded the account, and saw her husband Zhao Donglai waiting for her at the door.
"Where's the lady?"
Zhao Donglai took his wife's canvas bag and hung it on the bicycle: "It's at mom's place. She didn't go to the building today."
Hang Jinghua has been busy in the store these two days, so Wang Silan has been helping to look after the children.
Hang Renshan and Xiao Song have to deliver goods, and they are often so busy that they fall asleep without taking a shower when they get home.
The other three girls adapted well.
Lu Xiuying learned the fastest, and she was quick and efficient in both speaking and doing things, so Wang Silan liked her very much.
Although Chen Yue'e is not a good person, her daughter actually looks pretty good at the moment.
Hang Jinghua blocked the windows of the shop with wooden boards and prepared to go to the courtyard to pick up his daughter.
Under the street lights, Zhao Donglai seemed to be evasive.
Hang Jinghua looked at him carefully for a while, then stopped and held his face to look at it.
Zhao Donglai was taken aback by the sudden move, and then quickly dodged: "Wife, what's wrong?"
Hang Jinghua frowned: "What's wrong? Did our mother slap you on the face again?"
Since the couple moved to the city, Hang Jinghua and his daughter have never returned.
But Zhao Donglai couldn't do that, because she was his biological mother after all. He would go back occasionally to buy some things and visit old lady Zhao.
Zhao Donglai chuckled helplessly: "Let her make trouble if she wants to. Anyway, I will never go back."
During this time, Zhao Donglai also understood.
His mother was just deliberately torturing her daughter-in-law, and it was not for the good of the couple.
This person is old, and he wants to hold on to anything he has. He doesn't want his child to fly at all. He just wants him to be tied to his side and be filial to him.
Zhao Donglai earned a lot of money as a carpenter, so renting a house in the city was no problem at all.
After getting used to life in the city, he didn't want to go back to the village.
People are all made of flesh and blood. The mother only wanted to take money from her and didn't even say a word of sympathy.
Zhao Donglai was not foolishly filial, so he had to put his family first in the future.
Now that his daughter-in-law's family has established itself, his mother doesn't dare to go to the city to scold people. If it were in the past...
Zhao Donglai touched the bloody mark on his face and pinched it a few times.
Whether their life is good or not is now up to them.
With the support of her family, the daughter-in-law no longer has to worry about other people's opinions.
After hearing what Zhao Donglai said, Hang Jinghua no longer mentioned these things.
Zhao Donglai can go back and accept the punishment if he wants.
Anyway, she is very busy now and has no time to deal with the old woman.
Now Hang Jinghua also understood that what her sister said was right.
A woman's confidence comes from herself. If she relies on a man, she will always be suppressed.
On one side is the daughter-in-law, and on the other side is the mother.
No matter how wrong a mother is, she still gave birth to and raised her child. It is really impossible to make a child truly break up with her these days.
But the daughter-in-law is not like that. She didn’t eat a single meal from the Zhao family for the first ten years. Why should she suffer such injustice?
Old Mrs. Zhao doesn't act like a mother-in-law at all. Why should she be such a fool, swallowing her grievances all day long, thinking that everything will be fine if the family is harmonious.
What's the result?
That's not the case at all!
If you keep silent, those who bully you will become even more powerful!
During this period, while following her mother's business outside, Hang Jinghua suddenly felt that the door to a new world had opened.
Why should women only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children?
Women should have their own careers.
Now she has no problem running the store, counting the goods, purchasing the merchandise, and keeping the accounts. With money in hand, she can buy whatever she wants for her daughter!
Still the same as before?
In the past, even if you wanted to pull a weed on the roadside, you had to look at Old Lady Zhao’s face.
After arriving at the courtyard, Hang Jinghua held his daughter contentedly. Looking at the bloody mark on Zhao Donglai's face, he snorted for no reason.
Old Mrs. Zhao was causing trouble for her son, but she was too lazy to care.
If she really dares to cause trouble in the city, she will definitely not be bullied by everyone like before!
At worst...
She was forced into a corner and even asked Old Lady Zhao to take her precious son back because she didn't want him anymore!
Zhao Donglai was playing with his girlfriend nearby when he suddenly felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck.
Something is not right!
