Chapter 689: Changing Some Vegetable Seedlings

~8 min read 1,444 words

"Twenty or thirty thousand?!"

Song Tan's voice suddenly rose!

Although twenty or thirty thousand yuan isn't much compared to her three hundred mu of land... but this is just for a set of plastic mulch!

"Is it absolutely necessary?"

The twenty thousand she worked so hard to earn hasn't even fully arrived from Taotaobao, and it's almost all spent in these few days.

Tang Xiaodong winked: "If you want to do agriculture and want quality, that's how it is... Plastic mulch is still needed. The silver-black dual-color one can preserve soil moisture, which is to keep it warm and moist, and can also repel aphids and reduce weeds... Buy it, the early investment is indispensable."

Song Tan also sighed: "I understand the logic, it's just that spending money hurts my heart... What else needs to be bought? Say it all at once!"

"That's a lot!"

The three students gathered around, each with a small notebook, speaking all at once: "Buy plenty of brown sugar; we don't have enough prepared at home."

"Rice bran, oil meal, bone meal, fish meal, organic lime... let's have three hundred jin of each! We need to make some anaerobic fermented fertilizer to reduce continuous cropping obstacles and incidentally use it for top-dressing and base fertilizer later."

"Tsk." She sighed in the middle of the night—when exactly will the mountain be able to grow on a large scale!

"Wu Lan said to apply base fertilizer to the mountain in these two days, just follow the machine and sprinkle fertilizer inside, 130 a day... You tell me, which one should I do?"

"Oh my, such a big piece... This is far from our area, it's lucky the Old Song family could find it."

Raking dead leaves in the mountain doesn't pay much, 80 a day—but this job is easier than picking Song Tan; picking Song Tan requires picking tender ones, but raking leaves is fine with any leaves, and you can fill a hemp bag in a while with a rake.

The night after the Start of Autumn is cool, the bright moonlight falls on the shrubs and grass in front of her, the white frost on Song Tan sways with the wind, and there is a fragrance of grass and trees in the air.

"They said, if I work for their family for two days, when the time comes, don't plant the vegetables in that vegetable garden, and let Wu Lan distribute some seedlings to me, how about that?"

A heartless person like her, nowadays the peach trees on the mountain are not bearing fruit, and the watermelon vines only have tail-end melons left, so they are no longer favored.

Instead, they were distributed directly to Zisu and Kang Jun.

Now it's good, the work is all here, how should I choose?

After a while, Kang Jun won't pick them, but the price of White Dew tea will be a bit higher, and you can earn about a hundred yuan a day!

But the problem is...

"I think so too... Sigh! There are too few people doing the work!"

Until the east turned fish-belly white and Da Bao and Er Bao made sounds on the mountain, Mugwort slowly stood up and returned home silently.

It was also from that day on that the Old Song family entered the busy farming season once again.

"Look at this hot weather, their vegetable garden is the one growing best... No wonder their stuff is expensive, that really makes sense!"

"What should we do? What about the Secretary? I have to apply! Our green farm can't do without this... We can't buy wood ash, can we?"

This way, it can slowly infiltrate the land, save oneself from running around every night, and slowly make everyone feel that it's their own family's land that has good Feng Shui.

The real big heads are, first, the tea mountain, and second, the chestnut—because spiritual energy is allocated, even the white fungus and silver fungus, which don't have high yields in summer, were not willing to be given much!

At this moment, Zhang Yanping, who was numbly mixing lime water waiting to soak winter melon, suddenly felt his shoulders sink even more.

Ever since Zhou Tianyu returned once in the summer, Li Lanhua's drive to make money has been unprecedented! Don't look at the seventy yuan she earned this morning; when the sun comes out, she still has to brave the sun to pick tea leaves!

Of course, the busiest one is actually Mugwort.

And Zhang Hong and Aunt Chen, who were called by Wu Lan, as well as Zhou Maozhu's Li Lanhua, looked at this large piece of mugwort leaf land, full of surprise:

"Are the storage buckets prepared enough?"

She had already planned it well; picking tea now earns her 60 a day, and here at the Old Song family it's 50, so she earns over a hundred a day.

Logically, they are all from the same village, and everyone grows about the same things in their vegetable gardens. Asking for some seedlings or seeds is not a big deal at all. Like radishes and cabbage, when thinning seedlings, there are piles of extra ones.

Summer tea and autumn tea are not that expensive, Maojian is only seventy or eighty a jin, and working all day might only earn a hundred or so—and that requires fast hands and not being afraid of the sun.

This job is not heavy, but the Indian Summer in August is quite fierce, and it's a bit sunny.

When it gets bright at seven or eight o'clock, she will follow the crowd and spend another fulfilling day.

Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang Hong has an idea:

Mugwort's head is as big as a bucket, the balance is zero, and she can only pin her hopes on the winter melon strips in the basin and the Zisu that hasn't grown out in the field.

"No, no, the village is under satellite monitoring now, not allowed to burn..."

Is that so...

Sigh! After the marinade bags are almost done, we'll be idle for half a month!

By comparison, just picking some tender mugwort leaves can earn seventy, which is really a good job!

"Is more better? We can do it for a few days with more mugwort leaves! Work from dawn until the sun comes out, and earn seventy yuan easily in the morning, which is much more than picking tea leaves."

Aunt Chen is very open-minded: "What are you afraid of? After picking, I'll go rake leaves for their family; that job is also easy!"

"Have the small shredders been transported down the mountain?"

Mugwort hides among them and won't be discovered by anyone. And as the spiritual energy is slowly released, she herself slowly calms down and gradually merges with nature...

But they are sporadically distributed...

This is it, in the middle of the night, she is still secretly in the mugwort leaf land!

Of course, it's already August, and forcing mugwort leaves to grow is naturally not to make mugwort sticks, but because Professor Song wants to use them as green manure, and later borrow them to make fermented fertilizer.

"Since those fermentation ponds can be used, let's burn some wood ash first?"

"Sigh, hurry up and collect the fallen leaves! Didn't feel there was much work when Tian Ye was here. Once he started school, it seems like we are immediately short of hands..."

As a result, the development procedure on the mountain is much more complicated than she thought, and it's only now that it's finally settled.

"I can introduce a place to sell..."

The seedlings and seeds of the Old Song family were all pointed out by experts, and now that we are opening our mouths again for nothing, it's inevitably a bit inappropriate.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the kitchens on the mountain and at the foot are accumulating slowly, it's almost enough..."

She can now integrate spiritual energy into the water. Originally, she planned that if Professor Song and the others got to the bottom of it, she would use the water storage ponds surrounded by the few springs opened on the mountain to melt spiritual energy, through irrigation...

But he didn't say it early, and the sporadic Kang Jun land on the mountain has now been reclaimed and dug clean. She only found this piece of wild land in the middle of the night.

The vegetables in the field, because they can only last for one or two months at most, she just fools around and gives a little spiritual energy every night when she accompanies Da Bao and Er Bao. ===== CHAPTER 690 =====
