Chapter 861: Good seeds lead to high harvests
Zhou Guo had eaten too much at noon and didn’t feel like eating anymore. He just took one and chewed it slowly, watching the people below eating happily.
I also feel happy, because good things taste better when everyone enjoys them.
Half a month later, other areas gradually opened their gates.
Zhou Guo watched the floodgates of the last plot of land being opened. Everyone happily ran after the water as if they were picking up money, and laughed happily.
From then on, all the salty and bitter lands in her hands were completed and entered the second stage, starting with land remediation.
The second stage will take two to three years, by which time these lands will be transformed into fertile fields.
Of course, these areas may be slower than Song County, but four to five years is about the same.
Hu Zi said: "Master, once these lands are completed we will have accomplished a great thing."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Let's go and visit some of the manors."
Erpang and his friends immediately went to pack up their things. Naturally, the affairs of the village would be handled by the village leaders themselves.
The heads of each village were selected from Song County. They knew what to do next and there was no need for her to stay here.
Now I am glad that I had foresight. I thought of training a village head at that time, and now it comes in handy.
Tanghe River has to stay here as there are still some detailed works to be done on water conservancy.
Chengding's farm has 120 mu of rice fields, and this year the harvest was the largest, with the highest yield being four shi and five dou per mu!
Zhou Guo looked at the booklet and said to Hu Zi, "You are still good at managing it. The village head is also good."
The head of the village said, "I have never seen such a high yield of rice. The small village I managed before only had about 30 or 40 mu of land. The highest yield per mu was only 3.3 shi of rice, and never exceeded 3.5 shi of rice. Boss, is it because of the different rice varieties?"
Zhou Guo asked: "Why do you think so? Why don't you say it's because of obesity?"
There is no shortage of fertilizer on the farm, and you can have as much as you want in your own fields.
The head of the village said, "The village I worked on before was small, but fertilizer was not so scarce. Although the amount of fertilizer applied every year could not be compared with that of our village, it was still a lot. I don't think the effect of this fertilizer is that great."
Zhou Guo smiled. This village head looked honest, but unexpectedly he was willing to use his brain. He said, "You are right. In fact, many people think that the poor harvest is due to lack of fertilizer. In fact, it is not true. Fertilizer is certainly a reason, but the most important reason is the seeds.
Seeds are the source. If the source is not good, no matter how much fertilizer is applied or how well the management is done, the harvest will not be very high. On the contrary, if the seeds are good, and you apply fertilizer, weed, and manage them, the harvest will increase rapidly, and the upper limit is much higher than that of ordinary seeds. "
The village head nodded repeatedly, and he became bolder when he heard it. He said, "I didn't expect that the boss is not very old, but he knows so much. It seems that he has been able to farm since he was born."
Hu Zi frowned, "What are you talking about?"
Zhuangtou was startled and knelt down immediately, his face turned pale with fear.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, hurry up and get up. Many people say this about me, you are right."
The head of the village looked up at her cautiously, and was relieved to see that she didn't seem really angry.
The crabs have been sold out one after another recently, and half of the 60,000 to 70,000 crabs have been sold.
The village head doesn't know anything about crabs, and matters in the crab pond are not his responsibility, so he originally wanted to go down.
Zhou Guo said, "Come with us and take a look. You manage Zhuangzi well. If you manage Xiezi well in the future, I will give you this crab pond as well."
The village head was overjoyed and should follow behind him. If he was valued by his boss, he would not have to worry about his life!
Selling crabs is a big deal, and Chengding is the place with the most crabs this year, so people were transferred here from the mountain product store.
He said, "Master, the crabs this year are fatter than in previous years. Many people are buying them. Most of the big crabs have been bought by wealthy families recently. I estimate that there are only 7,000 to 8,000 crabs left in the pond. There are not many small crabs left either, about 10,000 to 20,000 at most."
Zhou Guo asked, "Is there any movement over at Baoyue Tower?"
Last year, she heard that Baoyue Tower would probably start selling crabs, but she still hasn't received any news since the crab season started this year.
"No, I haven't seen them selling it even in the city."
Zhou Guo nodded, "If there is none, then there is none. We just need to sell our own crabs well. Remember to sell them in a few more counties. By next year, there will be hundreds of thousands of crabs in this pond. By then, we will have to sell them more often in each county. It won't be so easy to sell them."
"Yes, we listened to you. We went to all the big and wealthy counties, and even some medium-sized counties. The only difference is that the sales were not that fast. It took two or three days to sell out a thousand. We didn't go to the lower-class counties."
There weren't many crabs to begin with, and there weren't enough to sell in the better counties, and the lower-quality counties couldn't afford them, so I simply didn't go.
Zhou Guo said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. It takes seven or eight days to sell one thousand crabs from a lower-quality county. In that time, crabs from a higher-quality county can be sold for seven or eight thousand."
It's a pity that the big cake of Fucheng is missing. If we could go to Fucheng, we might not be able to catch 3,000 of them in a day.
Hu Zi said, "Master, when Baoyue Tower starts selling crabs in the city, we can also sell them there at that time."
Zhou Guo thought about it and felt that it made sense. He said calmly, "We'll see when the time comes. It's impossible to go in a short time."
The fruits on the mountain will be ready for picking in about half a month. Zhou Guo looked at the bright red fruits and said with a smile, "It's better to thin out the fruits. These ones are so big."
The biggest one is bigger than her fist. It’s an old breed, and it’s already very big to be this big.
Hu Zi smiled and said, "Master, pick one. You should be the first one to pick the fruits on this mountain."
Zhou Guo looked at the fruits and said, "Then should I pick one?"
Everyone said, "Pick them, pick them."
She took them around the mountain and picked a big, red one.
She took the fruit in her hand and looked at it. There were only a few fruits on the mountain. They were well managed, so there were few worm holes on them, and there were no holes or bumps on them.
I put it close to my nose and sniffed it, and a fragrance came out.
In fact, she didn’t like apples in her previous life. She would just leave the fruits she bought alone without even looking at them. But now…
Looking at this red skin, I really want to take a bite!
Hu Zi happened to bring over a pot of water, "Master, wash before eating."
Zhou Guo silently handed the fruit to him, waiting eagerly for him to finish washing it, then took it and took a big bite of the red skin...
My eyes lit up, it was crispy, sweet, juicy, and had a sweet flavor that I had never tasted before.
I took another bite. I don’t know if it was because of the shortage of supplies or because I hadn’t eaten fruit for a long time, but it was really delicious!
He said to Hu Zi and the others with a smile: "You guys go pick one too, it tastes really good!"
Erpang and his friends dispersed immediately. In fact, they had already seen what was going on and were just waiting for Zhou Guo to talk to them.
The group of people went down the mountain, each holding a apple in their mouth.
The village head saw this and was about to say something but stopped himself.
