Chapter 865: What Leather Cotton Pants

~8 min read 1,454 words

Professor Song looked at them with eyes that really looked like he was looking at greedy ghosts.

Song Tan felt wronged: "But this is according to your instructions, 500 plants per fen, with a fluctuation of 50 plants up or down."

They only added 50 more plants, scattered over two fen of land, which didn't count for much at all.

Professor Song:... To put it bluntly, one plant is worth two of others. It's not like they haven't been farming since spring and summer; they shouldn't be so inexperienced. But before, they grew vegetables, like cucumbers and cowpeas; if they were planted densely, they could solve it by building the trellis longer.

For things like peppers and eggplants, they are planted in the open, and there are sturdy stalks underneath for ventilation, so it's not a big problem.

But strawberries are different!

They already have a creeping growth habit, and now they are in a greenhouse, where the ventilation environment cannot be compared to the open air. The leaves are piled on leaves, and flowers are piled on flowers underneath.

Once they touch the soil surface, the stolons don't know where they have spread! There is no ventilation space in the middle... If this continues, they will get sick sooner or later!

Honestly, Professor Song was already very surprised that they hadn't gotten sick by the time they bloomed!

But at this moment, the other vegetables in the greenhouse were already growing vigorously, and there was no space to spare for these strawberry seedlings anywhere!

Let's push the business to next year; there will be more people next year, and we can arrange it however we want. Anyway, we won't do it this year.

"Most importantly, I work here, and in the future, earning money will depend on us. My parents definitely won't violate the agreement casually."

"Song Tan, you said your parents are in poor health and can only do some light work. To what extent can they do it?"

"My mom was quite good at farming before. The vegetables at home always grew better than others', and the fields were also kept tidy."

Song Tan was stunned, then replied: "For example, planting some green onions, ginger, garlic, and vegetables at home, my mom can do it slowly, and my dad can help."

And Tian Tian also nodded refreshingly: "That's quite good! You can plant them slightly densely, and wait until next year when the stolons propagate and grow. By then, those seedlings can be sold cheaply."

And... I came to Tian Tian's side to learn by myself, and what I earn in the future will be my own.

If I get familiar with planting this year, and my parents' health gets better next year, they can specialize in planting one or two mu of strawberries to sell.

Tian Tian shook his head: "We won't do it, we won't do it. We agreed to rest this winter. Taking care of this greenhouse is quite time-consuming."

Song Tan's ability to act was once again displayed:

Song Tan laughed: "What kind of cooperation is that? Our family is taking advantage of you."

After a while, Tian Tian suddenly asked: "Your seedlings grow better than others'. I plan to find a way to let people in the village plant them after the New Year... Then you tell me, how many years can this goodness last?"

"I'll take advantage of you. I recommend my parents to take care of the strawberries, and I'll pay 1500 per person per month. If there is any loss, we will compensate according to the price."

That price was already reported high by her, because one fen of land is only 60-plus square meters. Doesn't it only cost a few hundred yuan a year to rent a piece of land?

He does whatever the expert says; his trust level is full, but he is economically strapped.

Professor Song's eyes widened: "Then you tell me, what should be done about these seedlings?"

She said, and hurriedly walked away again!

Professor Song had a headache.

Tian Tian was very unwilling: "What if we build another shed? Since we've already built one, why don't I build a bigger one and plant some other vegetables?"

Song Tan was dumbfounded: "Add flour if there's too much water, add water if there's too much flour?"

But if my parents can also learn more planting knowledge, even if their bodies are poor, they can take care of two fen of land, and it will always be an income throughout the year.

Song Tan said solemnly: "Professor Song, Tian Tian, I have no debt now. Following you, the path ahead is wide. Don't let me take advantage of you anymore."

"Doing things slower than others is also tiring, but the vegetables in the field this year are not less than in previous years."

Professor Song subconsciously said: "Aren't I researching this?"

"By the way, give me the phone number for building the greenhouse, I'll go back and contact them now!"

The two looked at each other, and at this moment, they said in unison: "We still have to thank Grandma Tang/your Teacher Tang."

He discounts whatever the expert says; his trust level is also discounted.

She said directly: "Since you trust me, can we do this? You are responsible for the greenhouse and seedlings, and you rent one fen of my land for 200 yuan a year."

Professor Song had a headache: "That... this is no longer a problem of 100 extra plants. I estimate that for the two types of strawberries, we have to split them into 300 plants in total..."

When people arrived, Professor Song also made a plan:

Song Tan was pleasantly surprised, and at this moment, she nodded and promised: "Don't worry, for the sake of next year, my parents will take good care of them!"

【Leather cotton pants? What leather cotton pants?!】

"Are you planting strawberries?" Song Tan asked.

Tian Tian then took out his phone again and directly called Song Tan, who had just gone to the dormitory on the mountain to pack his luggage.

"After it's built, pollination here will be over, and it will be just right for transplanting—there's nothing to pack in the dormitory. I won't start work these two days, I'll go home and watch the greenhouse!"

Taking advantage of people, once there is a first time, there will be a second. Desires are endless, and sooner or later, the friendship will be worn away.

Then she felt a bit uneasy: "We have never planted this before, do we need to build a greenhouse?"

She said directly: "Since you trust me, can we do this? You are responsible for the greenhouse and seedlings, and you rent one fen of my land for 200 yuan a year."

And Tian Tian... it's hard to comment, really hard to comment.

He gave Song Tan an idea: "Why don't you build another small greenhouse?"

And Tian Tian... it's hard to comment, really hard to comment.

Professor Song nodded: "Yes, it doesn't need to be too big, one fen of land is enough—and since it's cooperative planting, the seedlings will be given to you directly, and I will be responsible for the cost of the greenhouse. There aren't many seedlings, so whether it's transplanting or subsequent management, it won't be tiring. It should be very suitable for your family's situation."

Especially now that it's the flowering period, and they will bear fruit and grow soon, express delivery is not suitable—after all, such good seedlings, wasting even a little bit feels like a waste!

When he was young, he did research in the field and went to assist farmers one-on-one. He usually met the following types of people—

Talking and talking, saying he wouldn't take advantage of people, but in reality, he was the one taking advantage... Song Tan looked at Tian Tian, her expression gradually becoming firm.

"Although my dad can't do heavy work, he has a slow temper and can calm down to take good care of them."

Now the two of them are squatting in the strawberry field, watching the bumblebees buzzing and working diligently, and both of them are dumbfounded.

The netizens who were watching the buzzing bumblebees in the livestream until they were drowsy were suddenly awakened:

Professor Song thought thoughtfully: "This is also quite good. Your greenhouse is still a bit monotonous."

Professor Song also looked at Tian Tian, after all, she is the one who makes the decisions.

There is another type: he doesn't believe anything the expert says, he only does things according to his own ideas, and there is no trust at all, but he still looks for the expert when something happens. ===== CHAPTER 866 =====
