Love delays my farming

"The food produced on your island is really delicious. Every time I come on a business trip, half of the food I bring back is robbed by my colleagues, and the remaining half is not enough to share with relatives, so I can only give it to my mother to eat secretly. It's a pity that there are too few." Xiao Ding said as he took out the money: "It would be great if you could produce a large amount, but it's a pity that the first season is a little bit, and it's gone before you know it."

Chu Yao helped him seal the snakeskin bag and put it on the car, saying: "It's not that I don't produce here, it's that there are not so many people at all. It's nice to see the green mountains and green waters here, but most of them are slope land. Before planting There are a few acres of winter wheat, and even Mr. Ju, who is on vacation, is there to help, and he is too busy. Actually, I don’t recommend that you pay too much attention to the things on this island, you should look at the village.”

Xiao Ding nodded and said, "You're right, we've seen it too. Professor He said that he would study the problem of free-range quail breeding, polyculture of poultry and so on. Whether it is the island or the village, there are large forests, so don't use them. It’s really a pity. Poultry and the like are not afraid of the season, and you don’t have to worry about the bumps on the transportation road. And you have mountain products here. If we can’t sell fresh products, we can consider dry products. I tasted your persimmon cakes and it was very good. Beautiful and sweet enough. Walnuts, chestnuts, hawthorns, as well as mushrooms and herbs from the mountains, can all be sold as products.”

Chu Yao nodded and said: "It's true, it's true, it's a pity that there are people..."

Xiao Ding patted him on the shoulder and said: "Actually, I have talked with the village chiefs of several villages about these things. These villages are too scattered and there are no young people. Even the village party secretary and the village committee team cannot be formed. The old people don’t quite understand what they heard, and they don’t understand how to do it. So we want to support your development first. If you make something, they will look good, so they will follow suit. Dry goods are not afraid of storage, don’t worry If there is a market, you can definitely let go of it.”

Chu Yao laughed dryly, scratched his head and said, "This is too much for me. I didn't learn this. Even the uncles in the village taught us how to do it. How can we afford such a big burden? .”

Xiao Ding just smiled and said: "You said you couldn't afford it, but what we saw in our eyes was that you really cared about the people in the village wholeheartedly. Although you came here for a vacation, or you were tired of living in the city, I want to come and enjoy the pastoral life or something. Hey, we don’t care about that. But which one of the things you do is not for the benefit of the village and the common people? I don’t even mention you, even your uncle. A road has been built here? I heard that the higher-ups planned to give it a commendation, but the old man turned around and left without answering the phone. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye..."

These are all what he heard from his colleagues in the county after he joined the poverty alleviation team.At that time, the poverty alleviation work had just begun, and it was not as good as it is now.The network and transportation are just in their infancy, not as developed as they are today.The old man suddenly paid his own money to build a winding mountain road quietly, and contracted the island for a long time, which actually relieved them a lot of burden.

Now that the descendants of the old man returned to this island, it didn't take long to bring hope to the villagers. It can only be said that they will belong here and help here.

Chu Yao had no choice but to say: "I'm just a blind man crossing the river and groping around on my own. It's really hard to say whether I can do a good job and bring benefits to the village."

Xiao Ding laughed loudly and said: "It's good if you are willing to explore. A few young people came here to start a business. The town and county gave a lot of help, but they failed in the end. But at least you have something real here. , With the output income, the higher-ups attach great importance to it. Don't worry, if you need help, you can call me and I will definitely have no second choice."

After sending Technician Ding away, Chu Yao felt like Alexander on the one hand, but on the other hand he was a little excited and eager to try.

"Grandpa and grandma, do you think I can do it?" After eating, Chu Yao went to find grandpa and grandma alone, and even made a video call to his parents who were on lunch break, and held a small family meeting.

Grandpa Chu said: "Is there anything you can't do? If you want to do it, just make a fuss. If you are too poor to eat, let's go back to our hometown and let your parents support you."

Yu Haiyang also smiled and said: "No, you are young, energetic, and flexible. Yangyang, you still remember that when you were in elementary school, you became the class monitor, and there were underachievers in the class. You were so anxious as to be like something, every day I ran to stare at people to study and do homework together. Later, when I was admitted to a key junior high school, I still cared about my classmates. You have long been determined to be considerate of others. Even if your family says you don’t like it, can you just let go? "

Chu's mother said: "That's right, do what you can, if you can't do it, come back and mother will support you, what are you afraid of?"

Chu Yao didn't expect his family to be so supportive, and couldn't help looking at Grandma Chu who hadn't spoken.Grandma Chu smiled and said, "What do you think I am doing? How many years can we support you? Why don't you ask Xiaojiu?"

Mother Chu immediately smelled gossip, "What? Why did Yang Yang ask Xiao Jiu?"

"It's nothing, nothing," Chu Yao said awkwardly.

Grandma Chu said: "Xiaojiu has taken a fancy to our Yangyang and clings to her all day long. She has to help Yangyang even if she can't see her eyes, cooking pig food, fertilizing the farmer, digging holes and planting trees, everything is different." fall."

Chu Yao said: "What, he can't do things like digging holes at all, okay? And he hasn't done fertilizer spreading either."

"He can't see it, it would be nice if he could help you, what do you want him to do?" Grandma Chu gave him a blank look, "He treats you so well, they live together, why are you still hiding it? I think Xiao Jiu is also unlucky, he just can't see, he is blind, and he found you, a blind man."

"What? Are you all living together?" Mother Chu screamed.

Chu Yao wiped his face vigorously, feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.

"You used to stop me because you were angry with me for this kind of thing, why don't you stop now?" Before going to bed at night, Chu Yao and Long Jiu held a formal sleep meeting.

Long Jiu squeezed Xiaobai's meat pad, pretending not to see the loveless cat's face, and said slowly: "Even if I stop you, you won't do it? No, you will not only do it , and will hide it from me, so that I don't know what you are going to do, and finally... hum!"

Chu Yao was a little helpless. The scumbag things he did in his previous life had been reincarnated and there was no way to get rid of them. The victim was still alive, just waiting to settle the old score.

"Actually, now, I will discuss it with my family anyway, right? I won't do reckless things. There are so many people in my family." Chu Yao said.

Long Jiu let out a series of sneering sounds, and then said: "This can be regarded as an advantage of the human race. Because the family members are worried, they will think more about it. It can be seen that you... Jianmu didn't regard me as a family member at all back then, hmph!"

Chu Yao: ...

I can't talk today.

In any case, it has already begun to gradually enter winter here.Vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse are ripening one after another. Strawberry and watermelon are red and sweet, and they have become everyone's favorite fruit, which directly caused Boss Zhuang to be unable to include these two fruits in the boutique fruit plate of his restaurant.Vegetable transportation has also decreased, because the weather is cold and windy, and the road is frozen, it is too dangerous to drive up the mountain road in the early morning.

Kang Huiguo wanted to make money, but he didn't intend to use his life to make money.

Because of transportation problems, quail hatching and breeding have slowed down, and some vegetables, fruits, quails, quail eggs, duck eggs and other fresh poultry eggs will be transported to the town in a week.Because of this, people in the village also ate quail eggs themselves.Because the quail grows up gradually, it will slowly start laying eggs after more than fifty days.

Because of this incident, Chu Yao had to go into the village to hold a meeting for the villagers, "Isn't it good to lay eggs? Let's eat the eggs ourselves. After raising quails for half a year, the big guy still hasn't eaten quail eggs, right? Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, my Laba garlic is all pickled, so you have to save some New Year’s goods for yourself. And even if the quail is old, it’s hard to sell quail eggs, but our quail is big and has a lot of meat. It can be sold as meat quail, at most it will be cheaper, but it will definitely not lose money."

"It's true, we have raised quail for so long, we still don't know what quail tastes like."

"I ship goods out once a week, and each family ships less, but it doesn't mean that I don't make money."

"Quickly stop making troubles for Xiao Chu. If anyone doesn't want to raise them, just say, I can raise more. When my daughter and daughter come back, I will stew quail for them to try."

"Look at you, a quail egg is 35, are you willing?"

"What is there to be reluctant to part with? A free-range chicken can be sold for five or sixty yuan in the town. Why don't you stew it and eat it?"

Chu Yao saw that the villagers were willing to digest themselves and had no other opinions, so he was relieved and said, "I discussed with Uncle Kang before. Let's grow more beans next year. If my flowers are well raised, autumn It can also give you branches, and everyone can raise them together and sell them for money. Also, when I was picking persimmons, I found a lot of fruit trees in my mountain. Because the vegetation was too lush, many small saplings were suffocated. At that time, I wanted to mention I said it, but after all, everyone is very rare about my peaches and pears, so I didn’t say anything. Next year, everyone can dig the small persimmon saplings, hawthorn saplings, chestnuts, and walnut saplings on the mountain, and dig them back to grow them. It’s easy to store dried fruit, and you won’t lose money if you sell it slowly.”

Hearing what he said, the villagers suddenly became enlightened.

The old people have always only cared about their own one-acre three-point land, and dare not make many changes.Some people had planted fruit trees before, but they couldn't be transported out. They were overgrown and infested with insects, and all of them died. They were all chopped down as firewood, and there were not many left.There are also some wild fruit trees that grow in the deep mountains. It is not worthwhile to go over mountains and mountains to pick a fruit, and it is difficult to pick it back and transport it back.

But you can dig the saplings and plant them near your homestead, and you can pick them at any time, and you don't have to worry about storing them when they are picked and made into dry goods.

"Either they are young people, they have brains, much better than us old guys." Village Chief Kang sighed.

Chu Yao's opinion is nothing to the farmers who have done too much farm work. It is really easy to clean up a dozen trees, plant some beans and flowers, and raise some quail.If you can really make money in this way, it will be pie in the sky, just open your mouth and let it go.

As soon as Chu Yao left, the villagers gathered around Village Chief Kang to study the land distribution.

In the past, the mountain land in Taoyuan Village was allocated to each household according to the head of each household, and the various outputs in the mountain land were regarded as their own income.If it becomes big enough to pay for the mountain and wasteland by itself, I agree with these villages very much.

However, with the loss of young labor force, all the mountains were barren.At most, according to the season, the villagers will go to dig some bamboo shoots and pick some mushrooms to eat.It was hard and troublesome for them to go out of the mountains. They couldn't buy three melons and two dates, and they delayed planting the land to serve food.Even if the road is repaired, it will take a long time to go back and forth, and the fare is several yuan.There are still children left by the family to take care of, so it is really too much to do.

Kang Huiguo can help the villagers sell some mountain products, but buying mountain products can only be done easily, and he is more willing to take on some short-distance work in the town.It neither delays sending the villagers back and forth, nor delays the extra money I earn.And even if someone came to collect mountain goods in the past, seeing the pregnant women in these villages, they would not receive much and it was a waste of time, and they were even more reluctant to come.After coming and going, the villagers' desire to sell mountain goods faded.

But now Chu Yao said that he was just getting some dry goods, which could be sold in the town's boss Zhou, or sold in an online store, and these things were easy to serve, so everyone's minds became active again.

As soon as Chu Yao got home and his butt was still hot, Boss Zhuang called, "Brother, you are not mean enough."

Chu Yao was at a loss, "What's the matter? Why am I not interesting? Strawberries and watermelons are really not good, and the output is small. There is not enough for my family to eat."

"Who told you about strawberry watermelon? I'll just say that tofu. My brother Li went to your place to eat tofu curd once and said it was delicious, so he came to show it off to me." Boss Zhuang stared angrily and sat there Li Chenghao who was opposite him said, "There are such good things as tofu, why don't you think about me, brother?"

When Chu Yao heard that this was the case, he smiled wryly and said, "It's just a tofu brain, why, there is no one to sell in the town?"

"There are some in the town, but yours is delicious." Boss Zhuang said, "Every time you come up, give me fifty catties... No, you just sell soybeans to me, how about I double the price?"

Chu Yao clicked his tongue and said, "It's not that good, do you know why I didn't tell you about tofu? This year, I planted a total of one acre of soybeans here, and most of them were squeezed for oil. It’s oily. The rest is reserved for making soy milk and grinding tofu at any time. The elders in the family like it, and friends also like it. I really don’t have a lot of money for you.”

Boss Zhuang stomped his feet angrily, "Then when you eat tofu, why don't you remember to ask me to try it?"

Chu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There is still some tofu left at my house last time. It will take half a month to make it after eating it. I will definitely call you when I turn back. If you can't come, I will send it to you."

Only then did Boss Zhuang forgive him resentfully, but he just hoped that he could grow some soybeans in the coming year.

"I have to wait and see, I'm too busy. The food is planted by friends. But next year, the village will grow beans, and the things in our village are also very good. Even if it's a little worse than mine, it's definitely better. The outside is good, you can think about it." Chu Yao had to use the villagers to distract Boss Zhuang's attention.

The fat man seems to be sure of the things on the island now, and there is no one with this tongue.

But Chu Yao really doesn't intend to make the group of people in his family too tired. Even if he wants to grow more food next year, he will definitely not be purely handmade like now.Brother Niu can't be exhausted no matter how capable he is.He wondered whether to buy two small agricultural machines.

Only in this way, the wallet is really going to bottom out.
