Chapter 0005: Pepper Transplanting
Kang Mingsong was also a little angry, what was the reason for his resignation from the research institute in Xichuan and his return to Guxing? Could it be that he really didn't make any money in the past two years? If he finds a job in a small company, he will be able to work for the rest of his life? Or will he be OK to take the civil service exam?
Kang Mingsong really didn't want to quarrel, so he had to say patiently: "Xiaofang, let's talk about it, okay?"
Lu Xiaofang was even more annoyed than Kang Mingsong, and said loudly: "I won't be reasonable, you have to be reasonable and find someone else." ”
In the end, the meeting between the two broke up unhappily.
The next day, Kang Mingsong took a minibus again and returned to his hometown in Gushan Township.
For him to leave in a hurry and return, his parents didn't think much about it.
Kang Mingsong, who returned home, still writes novels every day, and then takes care of the tomato seedlings in the third of the land in his spare time, pulls weeds, applies fertilizer, and removes insects.
Regarding the relationship with Lu Xiaofang, Kang Mingsong can't come up with a good solution now, so he can only take a cold treatment to see if time can dilute the differences between the two.
However, Kang Mingsong felt that this might be difficult, and he was ready to say goodbye to this relationship in his heart.
A few days later, the planted pepper seeds germinated, so Kang Mingsong took care of these pepper seedlings every day.
However, the care of freshly sprouted pepper seedlings is relatively simple, mainly by opening the plastic shed covering the pepper seedlings in the morning and covering them in the evening.
In late April, when the weather is fine, the temperature during the day is still relatively high, and if the plastic shed of the pepper seedlings is kept covered, it will be damaged.
………………
By May Day, the pepper seedlings had grown to about three inches in height, and Kang Mingsong began to transplant.
The place to choose transplanting is still very close to the house, and there is a lot of their own land next to the house, plus a paddy field behind the house that has been converted into dry land because of the lack of water, with an area of two or three acres, planting some vegetables or something, no problem at all, no need to go to a place far away from the house.
At this time, the tomato seedlings, which are growing rapidly, have grown to be almost one meter tall. A few plants have even begun to bud.
However, Cummingsong did not let these buds grow at this time bear fruit, but removed them.
Flowers that bloom too early will not survive even if they produce tomatoes. Even if it finally ripens, it is not very tasty, because the tomato plants at this time are not fully developed.
In addition to removing this batch of flower bones, Kang Mingsong also carried out another work, that is, topping, or removing the top advantage.
The so-called apical dominance refers to a phenomenon in which the apical buds of plants grow preferentially and the lateral buds are inhibited. This phenomenon occurs in most plants, and tomatoes are no exception.
After topping, the tomato plant will emit more lateral branches, which is conducive to increasing yield.
………………
After doing these things, Cummingsong went into the city again.
However, when he returned to the rental house, he found that it was still the same as when he left half a month ago, and it seemed that Lu Xiaofang had not come back during this period.
Kang Mingsong shook his head, he didn't want to stay here anymore, so he simply went to his eldest sister's house.
The eldest sister Kang Mingmin and her eldest brother-in-law opened a restaurant in Zhoujiadu Street in Guxing City, thanks to the rapid economic growth in recent years, and the business of the restaurant is very good.
However, the eldest brother-in-law Yun Li'an's eyes were very good, and although he was busy, he also saw the lonely Kang Mingsong coming over at a glance.
"What's the matter, didn't Xiao Lu come along?" Yun Li'an glanced at Kang Mingsong and asked in surprise, "What's the trouble?"
"Hmm. Kang Mingsong was also a little depressed, but this kind of home is not enough for outsiders, and he didn't want to explain more, but the eldest sister Kang Mingmin was quite interesting, interrupted Yun Li'an, who wanted to ask again, and said: "Okay, Lao Yun, what are you doing with so many young people?"
Yun Li'an frowned and said, "Sanmao, you and Xiao Lu are quite suitable, don't be born in the blessing and don't know the blessing." ”
"Hehe, where can it be?" Kang Mingsong scratched his head, but Kang Mingmin interjected: "Sanmao, don't pay attention to him, only you young people know whether it is suitable or not, and outsiders have no room for beaks." ”
Kang Mingsong was a little surprised, he felt that eldest sister Gu didn't seem to be very optimistic about the matter between herself and Lu Xiaofang, it stands to reason that Lu Xiaofang should be good in the impression of the eldest sister, why did she have a taste of defending herself first?
"It's okay, eldest brother-in-law, it's Lu Xiaofang and I who are angry, just wait for two days. Kang Mingsong smiled and diverted the topic and said, "I'm very busy now, I'll help you clean up the table?"
During this time, customers were in and out, and the restaurant was indeed very busy, and despite the help of a chef and a helper, the four of them were still busy in the restaurant. Seeing that Kang Mingsong volunteered to help, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law did not refuse.
………………
It was busy until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the restaurant was a little more relaxed. However, there are fewer people eating at this time, and there are not many customers in the restaurant.
Such a high popularity is mainly due to the fact that the road outside the restaurant is the driving school's driving practice section, and most of the hundreds of students from three or four driving schools go to the eldest sister's restaurant to eat and rest in addition to driving practice.
In addition, there are many construction sites nearby, and at noon, the workers on the construction site also like to eat at the restaurant of the eldest sister's house that is affordable, tastes good, and is kind.
It was also at this time that the eldest sister asked the chef to fry a few dishes, and the five of them sat down to start lunch.
During the meal, the eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister asked about Kang Mingsong's recent situation.
In addition to the contradiction with Lu Xiaofang, Kang Mingsong told the truth.
Both of them were a little surprised that Kang Mingsong actually went home and planted some tomatoes and peppers in addition to writing.
Although Kang Mingsong came from the countryside, and his family was in difficulty when he was a child, he did not help his family with work, but since Kang Mingsong went to Guxing City to go to middle school, he basically did not do much work. Especially after going to college, even if he went home during the winter and summer vacations, he didn't see him go to the ground.
The eldest brother-in-law said with great interest that when the tomatoes he planted were ripe, he would sell them directly to their restaurant, and he would buy them at a price 20 percent higher than the market price.
In this regard, Kang Mingsong was noncommittal.
If the final tomatoes prove that the super breeder is indeed effective, and the tomatoes produced are much sweeter than ordinary tomatoes, then the market price of these tomatoes is more than 20% higher than that of ordinary tomatoes.
