"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that her father looked hesitant and uncertain after returning from outside, Lin Anshu asked him directly.
"An'an, it's like this..."
After five minutes of preamble, Mr. Lin finally revealed the point of his hesitation.
"Dad, do you mean that the people in the village want to learn how to compost and pesticide-free alternatives from me?"
"Yes, that's how it is, but I didn't agree right away," Mr. Lin said in a low voice.
Those methods were developed by An'an herself, so whether or not to tell others is An'an's business.
Just because he is An'an's parent doesn't mean he can make decisions for An'an.
As parents, the most important thing is to learn to respect your children, isn't it?
"Sure, why not?"
"Anyone who wants to know can come and find me when they have time. I'll tell you everything I know," Lin Anshu said generously.
If you look carefully, you can find alternative methods that don't require pesticides in books and online.
As for the composting method, she developed it by reading books and researching information, and it was improved by System 888.
This final version of the composting method cannot be found online or in books.
It can be considered her secret weapon for farming.
However, Lin Anshu was still quite willing to share it.
Being a farmer is tough for everyone.
Anyway, she was happy to do it in order to improve the quality and yield of crops, fruits and vegetables.
If everyone keeps good things to themselves, how can we develop in the future?
When Secretary Zhang chatted with her before, he even mentioned the topic of rural revitalization.
If everyone is willing to learn and use composting to improve soil vitality and fertility, the crops that grow will naturally be better than before.
If everyone can find a suitable merchant later, they might be able to make more money.
Only when everyone's lives improve can the village develop even better.
If she keeps it a secret and only cares about making money for her own family, what will the other villagers think? What will they do?
Just like now, the vegetables she grows sell for 20 yuan per kilogram, which has already attracted everyone's discussion and envy.
If their family continues like this, they might become the target of jealousy, and people might secretly steal their vegetables and sabotage them.
Of course, these are just her guesses.
But Lin Anshu never underestimates human nature.
Living in a village, they naturally had to learn to get along well with the villagers.
She has a simple composting method; if someone wants to learn it and comes to ask her, she says it's the way to do it.
When it comes to making money, if everyone makes money, then everyone is naturally happy.
"An'an, is what you're saying reliable?" Lin's mother asked.
"Reliable, of course it's reliable. Just look at the vegetables I've grown, and you'll know how good it is."
After Lin Anshu said that, Lin's father and mother naturally couldn't find a single point of rebuttal.
After all, the vegetables that An'an grows really taste good.
It really can be sold for money.
"Dad, Mom, the composting method I mentioned can be used not only for growing vegetables, but also for growing fruit trees."
"Now we have not only organic vegetables, but also organic fruits."
"I think we could try using the grapes from our own garden."
Lin Anshu had wanted to tell her parents about this for a long time.
At first, she was afraid that her parents wouldn't listen if she told them.
After all, she was a novice farmer, unlike her parents who had farmed for most of their lives.
Her original plan was to first use the fruit trees planted on the hillside as a model.
If it works well, the fruit that grows will definitely be big and delicious. We'll let the facts speak for themselves then.
It's impossible for Mom and Dad not to listen.
But now that we've come this far, she naturally has to bring it up.
Sure enough, her parents meant that she was very good at growing vegetables, but she had never grown fruit before.
Although what she said made a lot of sense, fruit is the family's source of income, so we have to be extra careful.
Ultimately, Mom and Dad decided to set aside four acres of vineyards to use what she had suggested for testing.
No pesticides are used, only composted fertilizer from our own garden, and we water the vegetables and fruits on time until the grapes ripen.
Both of Lin's parents are action-oriented.
Since we had already agreed on it, we did it immediately.
The composting process is not difficult; just follow the order and proportions given by Lin Anshu, plus two months of waiting.
Two months later, you can ferment organic fertilizer that is very beneficial to fruit trees.
As for alternatives to pesticides, Lin Anshu also created a Word document on her computer the night before and printed it out.
Furthermore, when villagers actually came to ask Lin Anshu how she grew organic vegetables, she shared her knowledge with them without reservation.
Whether people believe her or not, or whether they follow her methods, is not her concern.
The day after this incident, Party Secretary Xiao Zhang came to visit.
She first congratulated Lin Anshu on winning first place in the marathon, and then praised her selfless dedication.
Immediately afterwards, he suggested that he wanted to buy some mountain products from Lin Anshu to take back with him.
For example, wood ear fungus, shiitake mushroom, lingzhi mushroom, and white fungus.
There was nothing they could do; Ji Chuan, that gossipmonger, had nothing better to do than sing praises to Secretary Zhang about how delicious the white fungus was and how fragrant the shiitake mushrooms were.
He also proudly stated that he now enjoys employee benefits.
He can get five pounds of the delicious things that Lin Anshu's family grows for free.
His smug look left Secretary Zhang speechless.
However, although this version of Ji Chuan is a bit annoying, he is at least much more ambitious than before.
"Secretary Zhang, not many shiitake mushrooms have ripened yet. We've almost finished picking them all."
"As for the others, I can give you a little bit of what you need."
"Okay, if it's just a small amount, then give me a little."
"In addition, I'll also take three catties of each of the vegetables that have recently come into season."
"If you have honey, give me two more jars."
"Do you still have tea?"
"Give me a pound."
"...Secretary Zhang, you've come to my house to buy some goods, right?" Lin Anshu joked.
"That's one way to put it."
"Oh well, what can I do? It's your vegetables that taste so good."
"My cousin kept praising those mountain products, so it would be a shame if I didn't buy some."
"As for honey and tea, this isn't the first time I've bought them, so I know their quality perfectly well."
"Anything else is fine, but we don't have tea, since my family doesn't have a tea plantation."
"If you can wait a few months, after my mom has made flower tea from the flowers she grows, you can come and buy some."
"The taste must be pretty good too," Lin Anshu said.
"To be honest, our village has nothing, it can't be considered rich, but it has a lot of land."
"Lin Anshu, have you ever thought about leasing more land to grow some tea?"
