Chapter 494 Vegetables for Inspection
Although I knew that the speed of the project would be very fast, the speed of the renovation project involving the first phase of the 10,000-mu farm was greatly beyond Zhuang Haiyang's expectations. With the successful completion of the first phase of the water conservancy project, the construction of the resort has also begun.
Looking at the 10,000 acres of farms that have been renovated according to the planning and design drawings, through the shooting of unmanned cameras, Zhuang Haiyang also feels that he will be busy again. Fruit trees or seedlings should also be transplanted as soon as possible.
Fortunately, as long as there are enough banknotes and manpower, Zhuang Haiyang believes that it will not be long before those bare slopes or flat land will be planted with all kinds of fruit trees or seedlings.
When these fruit trees and seedlings are transplanted to survive, I believe that the 10,000-mu farm will also become different. It's just that the later transplanting project is far more than the investment in reclaiming vegetable fields and plantations, and the amount of work in the early stage is only a lot.
During this time, a large number of pre-purchased organic fertilizers have been delivered to the farm one after another. Those retired non-commissioned officers who were recruited also began to drive the construction machinery they bought, and the fertilizer they bought with money was buried in the leveled land.
The provincial leaders who occasionally came to inspect were surprised to see the organic fertilizer that was constantly being buried in the land: "The fruit trees have not been transplanted, so do you apply fertilizer first?
In the face of the leader's inquiry, when Zhuang Haiyang was temporarily absent, Liu Haicheng, the brother-in-law of the farm manager, could only explain: "The land has just been leveled, and the nutrients in the soil are still relatively poor.
Now, burying the purchased organic fertilizer in the soil can also improve the soil nutrients, so that the transplanted fruit trees and seedlings can survive smoothly. If the nutrients are sufficient in the early stage, the quality of the fruit will be better in the later stage. ”
Even Liu Haicheng felt that Zhuang Haiyang's approach seemed a bit of a waste of money. The first batch of organic fertilizers scheduled is as much as tens of millions. It looks like it's burying fertilizer, but it's actually burying money!
At that time, Zhuang Haiyang also used these words to dispel his concerns. In Zhuang Haiyang's words, if you want the land to be productive and grow good things, fertilizer must be worth investing. Moreover, fertilizing to improve the soil will also have many benefits in the future!
After listening to this explanation, the leaders of the inspection said with emotion: "Yes! If you want good crops, fertilizer is indispensable." It is really important to build a new farm and improve the nutrient structure of the soil. It's just that this cost is not something that ordinary people can afford!"
"If the initial investment is sufficient, the later investment will be reduced. When the ranch is up and running, we will also have our own organic fertilizer plant. There are some fertilizers that we can completely self-supply, which can be regarded as recycling!"
"Yes, it seems that the development plan of your project is still very well considered. ”
For such praise and affirmation, Liu Haicheng has also heard a lot during this time. Before coming to the farm, even if he was the deputy director of the town's tax office, the people who were really qualified to deal with him were still those ordinary grassroots officials.
But when he came here, in addition to the officials of the province, he even came into contact with the inspection officials of the Ministry of Agriculture. If he felt a little uncomfortable before he first arrived, he can now adapt to this position and working environment.
What made him even happier was that after the old lady came here, she didn't feel uncomfortable with life at all. On the contrary, he could see that the old lady was happier than before. If she has nothing to do, she takes care of the acre of vegetable garden specially prepared for her.
In addition, the farm also employs a lot of local farmers. It's okay to be idle, Liu Haicheng's mother has also found a lot of people who can talk. In addition, the families of her comrades-in-arms have moved over, and she is not worried that there is no one to talk to.
When the first batch of greens planted was ready to go on the market, Liu Haicheng also deliberately asked people to pick a lot of lettuce and leeks, and according to Zhuang Haiyang's instructions, they were directly sent to the food quarantine and testing center in the province for corresponding testing before sale.
According to the sales rules formulated by Zhuang Haiyang, all listed agricultural products will be sent for inspection and get the corresponding test report before being put on sale. In doing so, we also ensure that the quality and safety of the produce we sell every time we sell it.
When Liu Haicheng arrived at the provincial testing center, he was somewhat surprised to see Zhuang Haiyang and Zhu Dingye, who had been waiting in the center for a long time. He didn't expect that Zhu Dingye seemed to attach great importance to the results of this inspection.
On the contrary, Zhuang Haiyang said very calmly: "Brother-in-law, our vegetables are about to go on the market, and if they are sent for inspection according to the process, I am afraid that it will take at least a week to wait." Now with Uncle Zhu's help, we can also go through the back door!"
Listening to what Zhuang Haiyang said, Zhu Dingye also scolded with a smile: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, I just learned that the first batch of green vegetables you planted are ready to go on the market, so I came here to take a look." I also want to know what the quality of this batch of greens is. ”
Facing Zhu Dingye's words, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Uncle Zhu, this is the first vegetable to be harvested, although it has not yet been sent for inspection." But according to my estimate, the quality of this batch of vegetables should be slightly worse than that of Nanshan Island. ”
"Why is that?"
"The vegetable plot on Nanshan Island is carefully cultivated and cultivated by me, and it can be regarded as a cooked land. The vegetable field on the farm, although it can't be fertilized in the early stage. But it's a raw land, and it will take some time to become a mature land. ”
"Then when do you think the vegetable plot on the farm, the vegetables grown on the farm, will reach the standard of the vegetable plot on your island?"
"There's really no way to guarantee this! It will take a while to raise land. I can only say that the vegetables and fruits and vegetables grown in the vegetable field should be better than the batch. Even if it is the first batch, it is still no problem to meet the standard of high-quality organic vegetables. ”
These words are not used to fool Zhu Dingye, but Zhuang Haiyang's truth. Taking the opportunity of the previous inspections, Zhuang Haiyang, who lived on the farm, also took the time to sort out the underground water veins of the farm.
At present, all the groundwater pumped to the tower is used for vegetable plots and plantations. However, it will also take time for the water quality and soil to improve. And this time, Zhuang Haiyang didn't want to act too rebellious.
If you really want to grow too unnatural ingredients just after the transformation, it's hard not to attract attention. This is also the reason why Zhuang Haiyang was willing to spend a lot of money to landfill the farm and sow a lot of organic fertilizer.
When it comes to improving the nutrient content and structure of the soil, it is not something that can be done overnight. Only with continuous investment will the soil slowly become more nutritious. The quality and taste of the ingredients grown in this way will be more guaranteed.
With Zhu Dingye and several leaders in person, the staff of the testing center naturally behaved very positively. And this can be regarded as a special case. Even if it spreads, Zhu Dingye is not afraid that there will be any bad effects.
In fact, the quality of the first batch of vegetables submitted for inspection by the Heirloom Farm is also extremely important. If the quality of this batch of vegetables exceeds expectations, it means that this farm project is also worthy of their attention.
If this model can be promoted on a large scale, it will also allow more citizens and ordinary people to eat ingredients with more guaranteed quality. It's just that this expectation is difficult to fulfill, and some things are destined to not be promoted on a large scale.
When the first batch of lettuce was sent for testing, all indicators were detected. Looking at the excited look of the person in charge of the center, Zhu Dingye also said directly: "Director Xu, what is the quality of this batch of vegetables?"
"Archon, this is the quality inspection report of the lettuce sent for inspection. According to the data, even if this batch of lettuce is exported to Europe and the United States and other countries, I believe there is no problem. These indicators have reached the standard of super-grade high-quality agricultural products. ”
"So, these greens are for export, and there's no problem?"
In fact, the testing methods we use are also carried out in accordance with international standards for organic agricultural products. ”
Compared with the officials, Zhuang Haiyang said very directly: "Director Xu, the test indicators and nutritional content of my batch of lettuce should still be different from those sent for inspection before, right?"
In the face of Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, Director Xu did not hide it: "Yes! There are several testing indicators, which are indeed lower than the lettuce indicators you sent before." But the quality of this batch of lettuce is still extremely good. ”
"That's good! This batch of lettuce can reach the premium level, which shows that our planting management is still in place. All that's left is to send the vegetables to the restaurant and let the chef make them into a dish to see how it tastes after the finished dish. ”
Taking this opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang also invited Zhu Dingye and others to eat in the Food Treasure Pavilion. The name is also very simple, that is, let them taste for themselves, the lettuce and leeks grown in the first batch of farms, and whether the taste is worthy of their recognition.
For such an invitation, Zhu Dingye did not refuse. When the various detection indicators of leeks came out, it was similar to the situation of lettuce before. Compared with ordinary similar vegetables, the quality of these two vegetables produced on the farm is undoubtedly better.
Zhuang Haiyang, who had reserved a box for Chen Xingwang in advance, also invited everyone to a rich vegetable tasting feast in his own restaurant. There are whole dishes of stir-fried greens, and there are also dishes that are stir-fried as side dishes.
After eating a meal, many leaders were extremely satisfied and said: "The taste of this lettuce and leeks is very good! After eating the vegetables you grow, and then eating the vegetables sold on the market, I am afraid that we will find it difficult to swallow!"
Even if it was just a joke, Zhuang Haiyang still said in a timely manner: "If you leaders believe in the quality of vegetables on our farm, then every time the vegetables on the farm go on the market in the future, I can give a batch of vegetables, and ask the leaders to taste them on their behalf, how about it?"
"That's not good! Your vegetables shouldn't be cheap when they go on the market, right?"
In fact, the farm was able to produce so quickly thanks to the support of the leaders. Moreover, I gave a batch of vegetables to the provincial canteen for free, which is equivalent to asking all leaders to advertise our products!"
For Zhuang Haiyang, every time he gives a batch of vegetables to the provincial canteen, it doesn't cost much. But this approach can also shorten the distance between him and these leaders, so that the market can give these vegetables more recognition.
In the eyes of ordinary people, even the leaders of the provincial government love to eat vegetables that they dare to eat, what are they afraid of? Even when they eat them, they may feel that they have more face!
