"It's like this," Song Tan explained seriously: "I quit my job and went back to my hometown to farm. I accidentally spent all my parents' capital, so I wanted to grow some cash crops to make some money, so I planted peach trees."
"But our family also loves to eat watermelons, but we don't have any land... Anyway, when we planted peach trees, we dug up the mountains and turned over the soil, so we simply planted watermelons here. One land can be used for multiple purposes, and we can adapt to local conditions to extract the essence of the land...
…”
In short, the more you talk about it, the more nonsense it becomes.
But the one who is more unreasonable than the words is obviously Watermelon!
Professor Song could no longer put on any expression. He just squatted down and twirled the soil with his hands: "Yan Ran, get a bag to take samples."
Yan Ran was stunned.
Tang Xiaodong also hesitated and said: "Teacher, aren't we here to do mountain planning?" There should be no need for soil and water testing and nutrient ratio analysis, right?
Professor Song:......
Yes, he forgot about it.
but……
"Have you got the bag? Put some soil in it first, and I will study it myself when I get back."
The students really didn't bring any.
Whose mountain planning needs to be as detailed as soil sampling, right?
Yan Ran touched his pocket and pulled out a ziplock bag: "I put the camera batteries in it."
"Okay." Professor Song didn't have any choice: "Let's take the ones here today. Let's stay here for a few more days and take a look at the rest."
As soon as he sealed the bag, he felt something strange again: "That's not right..." His gaze spread forward: "Why do your watermelons grow so well? Although they are a little sparse and the yield is not abundant, but -"
He stood up and looked around: "But this vine has strong leaves and green leaves, and the seedlings are in good condition."
At this moment, Wu Lei, who was fishing and sending messages, turned around from the fence on the other side. When he saw a group of people, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously put his phone back in his pocket.
"Then what...I'm just tired of moving watermelons. I need to take a rest..."
After saying this, he became depressed again - it's normal to take a break after being tired from moving! What are you feeling guilty about?
Wu Lei himself didn't know why.
It didn't matter that he saw Tan Tan's cousin nervous. Why was he still nervous when he saw this expert from out of town?
It's like meeting a teacher when you were in school.
At this moment, he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Who said the watermelon yield is not high?"
He is exhausted from lifting every day!
"However, the output has indeed been a bit low recently. After all, they have been sold for so long - after a while, it will be time for the second crop of small melons, and they will still be sold by then."
Professor Song: "...you mean, you are still selling watermelons for takeout?"
"Definitely!"
Wu Lei said confidently: "I have such a big watermelon field. If I don't sell the watermelons, how can I eat them all?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pursed his lips again, thinking that if he could squeeze out the juice and freeze the food as popsicles, there wouldn't be a day when he couldn't finish it... He would have to take a few mouthfuls for several cold days.
But thinking of this, Wu Lei felt even more aggrieved: "Tan Tan, I am also your cousin. How come Yan Ping and the others can go on a trip and I have to move watermelons here?"
He has been working for almost a month and his waist is extremely stiff. However, Lili seems to be angry. She has not responded to messages recently. What should I do?
His salary hasn't been paid yet, so he can't coax anyone now.
However, when Song Tan was doing farm work, why did he stay when all the other brothers left?
Song Tan said confidently: "This is a benefit only for old employees. You just came here! And you are going to travel now, do you still need your house?"
Wu Lei:...House, house! Why is it so difficult to buy a house?!
He turned around bitterly and went to the watermelon field further away.
When Song Tan turned around, she saw Professor Song looking at her with an unclear look: "All the people working at home are your cousins? Your family is quite big, and the relationship between brother and sister is also very good."
The nepotism attitude is enough.
Song Tan thought that was not the case, but he couldn't say that he wanted to defraud cheap labor, right? He simply pointed again: "Do you still want to look inside?"
"The ones planted under the peach trees are all watermelons. Just don't step on them. They are still growing."
"Grow taller?"
Professor Song snorted inexplicably, "Are you growing taller? Are you busy giving birth to cubs?"
It is difficult for him to maintain a happy mood. In fact, all the experiences of the past decades have been overturned today. The elderly cannot bear this blow.
Qi Lin, on the other hand, looked at the watermelons in the field seriously, and several people whispered to each other:
"I remember our class Yu Le, he had a subject, isn't it watermelon? Why does it seem to require sandy ground and sufficient light... It is said that the higher the light intensity, the higher the sweetness..."
"right."
Yan Ran also muttered: "This is not sand, just ordinary mud."
There is definitely some sunlight, but there are so many peach trees that can't support it. It's definitely still far behind compared to people living in the open air.
Professor Song was walking by, listening to the mutterings of the students, and now he felt even more sad.
He finally let out a long sigh: "Forget it, I won't read anymore, I'll go back and wait for the soil sampling - take pictures."
As soon as he said this, everyone quickly prepared the drone.
The buzz of the drone came, and Professor Song asked again: "What do you use for watering?"
Watering?
Song Tan took them two steps forward and looked from a high place: "The pond at the bottom is pumped up with a water pump - but it is generally not needed. There should be a water source under our mountain and it is quite moist. After planting,
Basically, I was born with it.”
After saying this, countless farmers had to kneel down and cry in her peach orchard.
Professor Song simply stopped asking and turned around and walked outside: "Isn't it also covering the barren hills? Let's go and have a look at the barren mountains. How big is the area?"
Song Tan smiled modestly: "I wrapped the inside and outside of the big bowl in front of you."
Professor Song was used to seeing scenes, so he didn’t have much impression of this place. He just made a brief evaluation:
"It's not bad. Around the pond, the soil should be very close, and it's easy to manage. And it's all in one place, so it's more concentrated when viewed together."
"It's just that if you want to hire people to work at that time, you have to make a special place for workers to rest."
Professor Song was very thoughtful: "With such a large area, you can't invite all the people from the same village, right? There must be a place for people to rest - you don't want to bring all the work home to do, right?"
Song Tan has indeed found a soulmate at this moment: "Professor Song, you are so knowledgeable! That's what I mean!"
"Our family also makes chili sauce and processes medicinal materials. The three old people in the corner you asked about this afternoon were doing the work of processing the golden cherry trees in the chestnut orchard."
"When the scale is expanded next year, more people will definitely be invited. No matter how big my yard is, I can't squeeze it in."
Professor Song:......
He smiled: "It's okay. Basically, all family farms need to plan a building land - but you have to apply. If you want to build a building on agricultural and forestry land, you can't get it without approval."
Song Tan thought of Xiaozhu Party Secretary again.
With her here, to be honest, Song Tan has never had to worry about the formalities.
At this mention, she made a decision almost instantly - if these late-ripening peaches were edible, she would have to bring two more boxes to Party Secretary Xiao Zhu!
