Organic Farm Author: Farmer is flying

Chapter Seventy-One: Testing

After more than 13 hours of flight, Tagawa's plane landed at the Capital International Airport in Beijing.

When clearing customs, Tagawa ran into some trouble. He was carrying too much luggage, four super-large suitcases, all of which were heavy, and were suspected of smuggling.

After the customs unpacking inspection and statistical valuation, tens of thousands of yuan of customs duties were paid before it was passed. He didn't bring back much, the models of the agricultural machinery took up a lot of space, and the prints and audio-visual products were very heavy and were inspected most carefully. Luxury goods such as clothing and jewelry are the most valuable and are the bulk of tax revenues. The strangest thing is that the survival kit composed of alcohol stoves, pots and pans he brought back from Montana, purchased and consigned, plus customs duties, these things have reached a sky-high price.

The Swiss Army knife in the wilderness survival kit has nothing to do with the Zippo lighter, but the hunting knife from Spider Company that Tagawa brought back is in trouble, and it is a controlled knife. After several fruitless negotiations, he had to call Qi Yong. One of the deputy commissioners of the customs was the Qi family, and after he came forward, this beautiful hunting knife was able to pass the customs.

After driving out of the car stored in the parking lot, Tagawa packed his luggage and returned to the city with Professor Zhao.

After sending Professor Zhao home first, Tian Chuan drove the car downstairs to his house and carried his things upstairs in three trips, when it was close to midnight. Although I slept a lot on the plane, in order to reverse the jet lag, I still have to sleep a little longer, in case I don't feel refreshed tomorrow.

Early the next morning, he began to sort out the things he brought back and pick out the things that needed to be left in the capital. According to statistics, about half of the things to stay in the capital are prepared for their own collection, some small commodities to be given away, clothes to buy for themselves, wilderness survival suits, gifts for Xu Jingyi, and so on. The most important ones are the paintings I bought in Chicago.

Before noon, Tagawa returned to his hometown.

Mom and Dad have received the news that he is coming back today, and they are waiting for him at home, and after getting the gift and asking about the value, they can't help but complain again, saying that he is wasteful. But even if I talked about it, I happily put things away.

Today is not a day off, my sister and brother-in-law have gone to work, and Weiwei stays with grandma. When the little guy got the model of the agricultural machinery, he was not very happy and said that it was for boys to play. When Tian Chuan said to take it back and give it to others, she hugged a few car models tightly in her arms and said, "Uncle has already given them to me, and I can't give them to others anymore." ”

Tagawa also brought Weiwei cartoons such as "Cat and Mouse", "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck", and "Garden Baby", as well as some English comic strips. He hopes that Weiwei can also learn English through film and television works like Xiaohui. My sister is an English teacher, and she has taught Weiwei a lot of English words since she was a child, and now watching cartoons for a period of time may be able to cultivate a sense of English conversation and simulate a more realistic language environment for her. When Tagawa played "Cat and Mouse" on the VCD, Vivi was fascinated and watched the cartoon without distraction, and the English in it seemed to have no effect on her at all.

In the afternoon, Tian Chuan went to see a circle of chicken farms and greenhouses, and the vegetables and earthworms in the five greenhouses were growing very well, and the cucumbers and tomatoes had already borne fruit and could be picked soon.

Picking tours have been going on on a weekly basis. Vegetable gift boxes to several families in the capital were also sent on time, and now the vegetable production has further increased, there are more than 20 gift boxes every week, and Liu Meiting is not too much, all of which can be easily consumed.

The chickens in the chicken farm have grown to weigh more than a catty, and all the mixed roosters in the hens have been singled out, accounting for less than 4%, which is relatively small. The flock is growing healthily, and the loss rate is less than 10%, and everyone is happy. Without adding hormones and drugs to the feed, Professor Lang has made great contributions to achieving such a high survival rate.

The elevation of the fish pond embankment has been completed, and the heightened embankment is magnificent, and many people laugh at the Tian family for being too cautious. Tagawa said: "Let them laugh at it, if it really makes a big flood, you will know my foresight." "The fish fry needed in the fish pond have been ordered, and they will be sent over after half a month, and the breeds are according to Tian Chuan, a pond for soft-shelled turtles, a pond for shrimp, and the largest pond for polyculture of crucian carp, carp, bighead carp and grass carp. The fish ponds on the newly contracted land are ready for the cultivation of blackfish.

On the newly contracted land, greenhouses are already being built. The foundation of the new greenhouse is relatively high, and the front edge of the greenhouse is also relatively high, taking into account the situation of planting and breeding off the soil, the higher front line can accommodate more shelves and increase space.

Hearing that Tian Chuan had returned from the United States, Wang Dayong and Tian Long came to his house that night to look for him.

The county issued an incentive policy to promote new agricultural machinery, and everyone is still a little hesitant, I don't know if the new harvester and on-demand machine are good or not, and no one in the village has bought it yet. Wang Dayong's nephew Tiezhu is engaged in transportation, and his family already has a tractor, so he is more interested in the two new agricultural machinery, and he is worried that the harvester will not be clean, and the farmers are unwilling to use it. "The loss rate of the harvest is greatly affected by the ripeness of the wheat, as well as the lodging and ground leveling, but overall it is good," Tagawa said. I made the machine, and I can't fool the villagers like this. The county's encouragement policy is only for one year, and it may not be there next year. In addition, the capacity in the factory is insufficient this year, and if you book late, you may not be able to get the machine this year. ”

Wang Dayong listened to Tian Chuan's words and said: "Then I will persuade Tiezhu to order the machine as soon as I go back." ”

Later, when it came to the matter of the rural museum, Tian Long said: "Li Zhenguang of the brigade headquarters has been vacated, and a lot of old rural objects have also been collected, all of which are piled up in the warehouse of the brigade headquarters. The county and city approvals have also been obtained, how will we get them later?"

Tian Chuan said: "I have already asked the architectural design institute in Beijing to design the building of the museum, and it is estimated that I will be able to get the design drawings in a few days." Experts suggest that the house should be completely redesigned, demolished and rebuilt, and the current house is too dilapidated and unattractive. The theme of the first phase of the exhibition is three themes: the family in the old countryside, the cultivation and harvesting of land, and common crops. In addition, I want to build a multimedia exhibition hall to give visitors a more intuitive experience through some documentaries and other means. ”

As he spoke, Tian Chuan took out the exhibition plan he had written, and asked Tian Long and Wang Dayong to take a look at it first and give some opinions. In the end, he said: "It is better to ask the elderly people in the village to give more advice, they have come from the old countryside in person, and it is important to feel it firsthand." ”

Finally, when it comes to tourism picking, Wang Dayong said that the enthusiasm of the villagers is very high, and many of them have plans to build greenhouses. Tagawa said, "That's a good thing. Only after the scale can it have greater influence and better attract customers. ”

"When building a greenhouse, I want to make it clear to you that my pollution-free vegetables are going to the high-end customer groups in Beijing, and the price is high, the cost is high, and the risk is also large. Although the profit of ordinary vegetable planting is lower, it is better to be stable, so please be mentally prepared in advance. ”

"In addition, don't plant greenhouses, there are some surrounding industries that can also be developed at the same time. For example, the second sister-in-law's restaurant, such as the lamb of Wang Cripple. Now my initial thoughts include traditional tofu workshops, wild vegetable planting, orchard picking, farmhouse accommodation, etc., and more profit growth points have to be discovered by everyone. You know, the more tricks you have, the more attractive you will be. ”

Finally, Tian Chuan reminded Wang Dayong and Tian Long: "One thing we must pay attention to is to protect our reputation, which is the foundation for the survival and development of the tourism industry." Don't do things that deceive people, set rules for the people who do tourism in the village, and whoever does something that affects the reputation of customers, the whole village will suppress him, don't let a rat poop spoil a pot of soup. I suggest the establishment of a picking tourism alliance, whether it is a greenhouse picker, a restaurant, or a local product seller, the alliance will give him a sign to guarantee his reputation. Take the brand of the alliance as the focus of our publicity, so that tourists can have fun and play at ease. ”

The two agreed with Tagawa's statement, and decided to go back and discuss getting the tourism alliance up.

After talking about the business in the village, the two asked about the customs and customs of the United States, and Tian Chuan described to them the situation in the three states he had visited, and generally speaking, the characteristics of American agriculture are that the land is vast and sparsely populated, large-scale mechanization, and privatization, and the social organization structure is also different from China's national conditions, and the income of farmers is also very different.

When the two were leaving, Tagawa gave each of them a box of American cigarettes to taste fresh.

Early the next morning, Tian Chuan went to the cotton field in Shuanghe, the land had been thawed, fertilization, ploughing, and land preparation had been completed, and he was about to ridge and lay the mulch, and he wanted to see the use of the ridge mulching machine.

During this time, the work in the cotton field was very busy, and Tian Jianyu stayed in Shuanghe and never returned home once. When Tian Chuan arrived at the field, Tian Jianyu was directing the workers to divide the cotton fields and raise the ridges, and they were very busy. Tagawa took out the snacks he brought back from the United States and invited everyone to share them.

Tian Jianyu said: "The ground is almost ready, but there is some drought. Mr. An of Agricultural University said that it should be no problem to buckle the mulch film, and the mulch film has the effect of retaining moisture. ”

He also said: "The technicians of the machinery company and Professor Zhao will come over in a while, mainly to see the use of the ridge mulching machine, in addition, Gong Lihua and Gong will also come over." ”

Soon, four cars drove to the ground. Gong Lihua brought Professor Zhao and his graduate student Zheng Tiancheng, Jiang Jianbing brought cotton expert An Haijun, Ding Jianhua brought the designers of the machinery company Long Guoqiang, Xu Qifeng and the old fitter Xu Huaili to come together, and the other car was invited by Guo Dazhuang, a cameraman from Beijing Film Studio, and Yu Zhen, an editor.

After a few people arrived, after a little greeting, a local worker drove the tractor, driven by Long Guoqiang, and hung it with the ridge mulching machine, loaded the rolls of mulch film onto the machine, and began the ridge and mulching operations. Several sets of cymbal wheels on the machine push up the soil to complete the ridge and membrane edge compaction respectively.

With the advancement of the tractor, the ridges covered with plastic film are gradually promoted, and the ridges covered with plastic film gradually increase in rows, and the efficiency is much faster than the traditional manual operation.

Yu Zhen, who is in charge of editing, also serves as the director, directing the operation of the cameraman and Long Guoqiang. From the preparation of the machine to the connection of the tractor to the operation of the specific equipment, meticulous filming was carried out. These videos will be used as promotional videos and training videos for the promotion and improvement of the machine.

In order to test the performance of the machine, Tian Jianyu reserved land with different ploughing depths and different rotary tillage conditions when ploughing, and tested them separately at this time, and obtained a large number of observation data.

This is the first on-site operation of the ridge mulching machine, which has received widespread attention from the boss Tian Chuan and the farm workers. By noon, nearly one-third of Tianchuan's more than 150 acres of cotton land had been completed, and as long as two people operated, the highest efficiency could be achieved, and one person could also operate it.
