In the midst of the busyness, a week passed quickly, and the time entered the middle of August in a blink of an eye.

In the meantime, in addition to going into the city every day to buy meat and wine, Zeng Cheng basically soaked in his more than 100 acres of vegetable fields and took up the extremely promising job of overseeing the work.

The construction process of the villa is very smooth, and only one month after the start of construction, the villa has been capped. This is directly related to the fact that the weather was very good this summer, with many sunny days.

In fact, unlike much of the city, which is generally hot and humid, the dam where Zeng Cheng's family lives has always had a lot of sunny days, all year round. According to statistics, the average number of sunny days in their dam has reached about 140 days, and the average sunshine length has reached 2,400 hours.

Of course, this does not mean that the dam is dry, on the contrary, the average annual precipitation here is as high as 1,600 mm, which is much higher than the average annual precipitation of Shicheng District of 1,200 mm. Here, you will often encounter the sun shining during the day, but at night it is thundering and raining.

Just when more than 100 acres of vegetable land were about to be sown, Zeng Cheng's mother Cheng Yan was worried about one thing, that is, there were too many vegetables in her original vegetable field and she couldn't eat them all.

In fact, the area of vegetables grown at home is about the same as in previous years, that is, the almost two acres of land around the house, and the types of vegetables in it are not small, including green beans, cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers, loofahs, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, shallots, garlic, ginger, peppers, etc.

If it were in previous years, these vegetables would basically only be enough for his own family, and the rest would be sent to his two sisters' families and some other relatives who were close to him.

But this year it wasn't the case at all. I don't know what's wrong, but this year's vegetables grown in my own vegetable field are like crazy, not only are they exceptionally delicious, but the number is more than ten times that of previous years. The green beans were about two finger widths and a foot or two long; Cowpeas are as thick as an adult's thumb, and their length is generally more than one meter, and from a distance it looks like they are covered with bamboo leaves; Eggplants are even more frightening, thicker than an adult's fist, and rarely less than a meter in length; Cucumbers are about the same size as eggplants, but different in color; Sweet potatoes grow in the ground and can't be seen, but digging them up makes it appalling, all of them look like grinding discs, the smallest ones have three or four catties, and the largest ones even have ten catties; Tomatoes are about the same size as pumpkins, and they weigh no less than a pound; Shallots resemble garlic, garlic resembles shallots, and ordinary chili peppers look like bell peppers......

Originally, because she had to invite thirty or forty craftsmen to work every day this summer, Cheng Yan felt that she must buy a lot of vegetables every day, but now the fact is that except for some vegetables that are not grown at home, not only do you not need to buy them, but you can't even eat them.

Especially with the completion of the vegetable base, the remaining amount of these vegetables will become larger and larger, and Cheng Yan estimates that when only the engineering team is left, the daily consumption of vegetables may be less than one-third of the output. With so much surplus, even if it is given to Zeng Cheng's two aunts, an uncle's family, two aunts' families, and two sisters' families, I am afraid it will be far from exhaustive.

If it is just an extraordinarily large growth and an unusually high yield, what is even more terrifying is that vegetables such as green beans, cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers and tomatoes, the vines are growing and growing, and now they are generally as tall as a floor, and the flowers on them are blooming one after another, as if they have not played anymore. Cheng Yan was worried that if she wanted to pick it in the back, she might have to build a ladder.

Soon, Zeng Cheng noticed his mother's abnormality. After asking the reason, Zeng Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, his mother was worried because the growth of vegetables was too good and the yield was too high, which was afraid that other vegetable farmers would vomit blood and die.

However, he also had to comfort his mother and said: "Mom, you don't have to worry about this, the vegetables grow well, it means that my new planting technology works well, and our future farm will make a fortune with this planting technology, shouldn't you be happy about it?" As for the food too much to eat, this is easier to do, just pull it and sell it, let's not do this thing in the future, just practice first and familiarize yourself with the situation. ”

Cheng Yan thought about it, isn't her son going to be a farm, this technology is indeed a good thing. The higher the yield of this dish, the more money it can sell.

But then she remembered another thing, and said to Zeng Cheng: "Sanwa, when it comes to buying and selling vegetables, there is another thing, you have to sell it together." ”

Zeng Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mom, what else do we have to sell?" ”

Cheng Yan glanced at her son and said, "You forgot it, didn't our family plant a few acres of watermelons at the foot of the mountain, and now they are also yellow, and it is time to sell them on the street." Moreover, the watermelons in the field seem to be a little abnormal this year, those watermelons are very big, and there are so many of them that the ground is almost full. ”

Zeng Cheng patted his head and remembered that there was really such a thing. Those watermelons were actually secretly watered by him with the aura spring water in the Baicao Space after he returned home. When he returned home, it was the time when the watermelons bloomed, and for the purpose of experimentation, he went to water the melon field more than once at night when no one was around. But recently, because I was busy with villas and farms, I forgot about this stubble.

My family grows the kind of selenium sand melon that is suitable for the sandy environment, because the land of Qilin Mountain belongs to the sandy soil. This kind of watermelon is sown in April and May every year, and ripens in ** month, and the yield is not low.

Speaking of which, my family has been planting this kind of watermelon for several years, but because of the barren land, the yield in the previous years was not satisfactory, and the parents were lazy, so they reduced the planting area this year and only planted more than two acres of land. Zeng Cheng only found out about this after he went home, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart at that time, and complained to his parents a few words. After all, even if the yield of watermelons in the field is not high, the economic value of sweet potatoes is much higher than that of their sweet potatoes. And now that I have a hundred grass space, it is very likely to change the yield and quality of watermelons, so that the economic loss will be even greater.
