Lu Xia has been quite busy lately. When the family built the house, they reserved three acres of land for vegetable plots, and now they have to dig it out.
So she plowed the soil in the team when she was at work, and plowed the soil in the yard at home when she came back. She was very busy.
Fortunately, the two of them worked together and quickly found it out.
It happened that the land had been plowed at this time, so the villagers did not delay and started sowing immediately.
Sowing seeds is not tiring. Three people work in a group. One person digs the hole, one person places the seeds, and one person covers the soil.
With strength in numbers, we finished planting the corn in just a few days.
But that’s not all. In addition to corn, there are other grains such as rice and sorghum.
So Lu Xia spent the entire month of April to May busy with spring ploughing.
In fact, by May, it was not so busy anymore. The vegetable garden at Lu Xia's home had been planted. The vegetable seeds were all bought in the village. Lu Xia also mixed spiritual spring water into the water when watering, so there was no need to worry about the vegetables not growing well.
At this time, they started going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.
...
...
The previous wild vegetable varieties were already old, but at this time a new wild vegetable called large-leaf celery grew on the mountain.
It tastes similar to celery, but the vegetables grown at home have not yet grown at this time. This large-leaf celery can be eaten in many ways and has high nutritional value.
Unlike the mountain products picked before, most of them are dried and collected in winter. The fresh ones can’t be sold at any price, and the types collected are also relatively rare.
This large-leaf celery can be sold fresh. I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative has a counter specifically for buying vegetables at this time every year, although the money earned is not expensive.
But it is still an opportunity to make money honestly.
Moreover, wherever you find celery in the mountains, you will see it growing in patches.
I heard that Liu Jun alone earned more than 30 yuan last year.
So this year, when the big-leaf celery grew out, all the people in the educated youth site went up the mountain as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Of course, Lu Xia and the others were not willing to be left behind. They didn't do it to make money, but just wanted to get some more to send home to try.
Of course, it would be even better if I could sell it for some money.
They have to have some way to make money from outside, otherwise if they keep spending money like this, it will sooner or later arouse suspicion and jealousy from others, even though everyone knows that they have subsidies from their family.
There were indeed a lot of large-leaf celery on the mountain. Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo each picked a sack of them on the first day they went up the mountain. Of course, since they didn't press them hard, it looked like a lot.
"This bag must weigh about 30 to 40 kilograms, right?"
Jiang Junmo picked it up and shook it, "It's about 40 kilograms."
Lu Xia nodded in satisfaction, feeling less tired from the day. "I heard that the villagers went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell their goods on the same day. Shall we go too?"
Jiang Junmo thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. You can't finish all this. If you want to leave some, you can leave it for later."
Lu Xia nodded, "Okay, then we'll send it to the supply and marketing cooperative later."
Afterwards, Lu Xia and his friends pushed their bicycles to the town. On the way, they met many villagers, all of whom were carrying sacks and baskets on their backs and walking towards the town.
When I saw them both, I smiled and greeted them.
"Lu Zhiqing and Jiang Zhiqing also went to sell celery, and they really bought a lot!"
As I said this, I looked at their bicycles with some envy.
Lu Xia smiled and said, "I'm lucky to see a large group of them today, but I may not be able to see them tomorrow."
"Yeah, this thing really depends on luck."
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Xia saw that the educated youth had already arrived. Some of them had already said that their products were selling well. Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, he probably made a lot of money.
When it was Lu Xia and his friend's turn, the two sacks indeed weighed more than 80 kilograms, and the purchase price was three cents per kilogram, so they were sold for two dollars and fifty cents.
