Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 38 Funding Problems
Right now, Zhao Lei is most concerned about the drip irrigation system, and he immediately agrees, and he and Hu Jun came to the side of the water storage tank.Hu Jun turned on a switch to activate the water pump located by the river to pump water into the storage tank.The power of the water pump was very high, and it didn't take long for the river water to be pumped halfway up the mountain, rushing into the storage tank from the water inlet.

Seeing the water level of the storage tank rise rapidly, Zhao Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, it seems that the tank can be filled in just over an hour."

"To be exact, it's an hour and 10 minutes." Hu Jun said seriously: "If you pump a pool of water, it's enough to irrigate an area several times larger than vegetable fields and orchards."

Zhao Lei deliberately built the water storage tank relatively large in preparation for expanding the planting area in the future.

Hu Jun was right. About an hour and a half later, the storage tank was finally full.Hu Jun turned off the water pump and went to check whether there was any leakage in the storage tank.Zhao Lei took this opportunity, took out the purple gold gourd, and poured a drop of fairy dew into the reservoir.

The golden fairy dew spread rapidly as soon as it fell into the water, and disappeared completely in a blink of an eye, and the water in the pool looked the same as before.However, Zhao Lei knew in his heart that his fortune in the future would all depend on this kind of water mixed with fairy dew.

Hu Jun also came back at this time, and told Zhao Lei with satisfaction: "Everything is normal, no leakage was found at all!"

Next, it is natural to test the last link of the entire system. Hu Jun opens all the valves leading to the vegetable fields and orchards, allowing the river water in the storage tank to flow down the pipes, and finally through the drippers to water every vegetable and fruit. fruit trees.

After opening the valve, Zhao Lei and Hu Jun went to the vegetable field and the orchard to check carefully to make sure that every dripper had water flowing out.

At this time, Hu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, you have also seen that the whole system is completely fine!"

Zhao Lei also smiled with satisfaction: "I am very satisfied with this system, thanks to Boss Hu's serious construction attitude."

"That is necessary!" Hu Jun patted his chest and said: "The most important thing in business is reputation. As long as I produce a shabby project, my Hu Jun's reputation will be ruined. Isn't this smashing my job!"

Zhao Lei nodded in agreement, and simply transferred the final payment to Hu Jun.

Seeing that Zhao Lei paid so simply, Hu Jun was also very excited, and said to him with a smile: "It's refreshing, I've made a deal with you as a friend. In the future, if you have any projects that others don't want to take on, come to me, and I will definitely give it to you." Make it beautiful!"

Hu Jun left satisfied, while Zhao Lei stayed and watched the drip irrigation system irrigate every fruit tree and vegetable with satisfaction.While building a drip irrigation system can be expensive, the benefits are equally obvious.Compared with the traditional method, the biggest advantage of the drip irrigation system is water saving. For Zhao Lei, saving water also saves precious fairy dew.

Originally, one drop of fairy dew was only enough to water the vegetable field, but if Zhao Lei wanted to water the orchard, he would have to consume another drop of fairy dew.But now Zhao Lei has watered the vegetable field and the orchard with only one drop of fairy dew, and there is still a small half of the water left in the storage tank, which is enough to water the vegetable field again.

In this way, Zhao Lei can use the saved fairy dew to practice the Sanqing Xinfa, which of course makes him very satisfied.

The drip irrigation system was also completed, and then Zhao Lei turned his attention to the chicken farm.Only by making full use of the land as soon as possible can he bring more income.

To start a chicken farm, you must first have chickens.A chicken farm as large as three acres can raise at least several hundred chickens. It is definitely unrealistic to just go into the mountains to catch pheasants, and you have to find another way.

Zhao Lei checked the Internet and found that there are many farmers selling pheasant seedlings.He contacted a farmer that seemed more reliable and not far away.The other party said that they can supply a large number of pheasant seedlings, and the price is not expensive. In wholesale, each pheasant seedling only costs two yuan.

Zhao Lei was very satisfied with the price, and made an appointment with the other party to buy a batch of pheasant seedlings after the chicken farm was completed.

However, it is not cheap to build a chicken farm. Zhao Lei currently has insufficient funds.In order to solve this problem, Zhao Lei planned to sell another ginseng that had been watered with fairy dew.

With the first experience, Zhao Lei skillfully dug the ginseng out of the pot, cleaned it and put it in the oven for drying.

The quality of this ginseng is better than the previous one, and it will definitely fetch a good price.However, Zhao Lei didn't intend to contact Liu Shoucheng who bought ginseng last time. After all, it was too eye-catching to produce two top-quality wild ginseng in such a short period of time. Zhao Lei didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

So after drying the ginseng, he went directly to the city, planning to find a Chinese medicine store to sell the ginseng.

Xinwu City is also an important city in the Yangtze River Delta region. Although it is not as big as Shanghai and Hangzhou, it is still very prosperous.Of course such a big city will have traditional Chinese medicine stores. Zhao Lei quickly found a large-scale pharmacy and walked in with confidence.

Seeing a customer coming in, a salesperson behind the counter stood up and asked Zhao Lei, "What do you need?"

Zhao Lei said lightly: "I'm here to sell medicinal materials, is your boss there?"

Xinwu City is surrounded by hilly areas, rich in various herbs, and people often come to the store to sell their harvest.So the salesperson was not surprised at all, and said with a smile on his face: "If you sell medicinal materials, just show me."

However, Zhao Lei insisted: "I'd better ask your boss to come and see for himself, I'm afraid you can't decide this matter."

Seeing that Zhao Lei didn't look like he was joking, the salesperson asked him to wait for a while, and went to the back to call for someone.Not long after, a man in his 50s came out in a hurry. He was Huang Tenglong, the owner of the Chinese medicine store.

Realizing that it was a young man who insisted on seeing him, Huang Tenglong's face flashed with impatience, and he came to Zhao Lei and asked, "Young man, what medicinal materials do you want to sell?"

Zhao Lei didn't talk nonsense, took out two boxes from his bag, opened one of them first and said, "Here is a catty of Dendrobium dendrobium, please give me a price."

These are Dendrobium officinale growing in the gourd space, so it goes without saying that they are of high quality.Huang Tenglong just glanced at it, and his impatient expression disappeared without a trace. He quickly picked up a few Dendrobium candidum and looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, I haven't seen such a good wild dendrobium for a long time! If it’s a catty... I’ll give you 800 yuan, how about it?”

The artificially planted Dendrobium candidum on the market costs only 300 yuan per catty.Even for completely wild Dendrobium candidum, the price per catty is around 1000 yuan, and the price Huang Tenglong set is not too outrageous.

Zhao Lei thought for a while, then nodded lightly and said, "Deal!"

Then Zhao Lei opened another box and asked Huang Tenglong unhurriedly, "How much do you plan to pay for this?"

Huang Tenglong glanced into the box subconsciously, and was immediately stunned, unable to utter a word.
