Chapter Twenty-Nine: Green Vegetables
In May 1993, the sun had begun to shed its cold winter and warm faces in spring, and began to become hot.
At noon, I felt a little hot and couldn't stand it wearing short sleeves. Wang Yong was most afraid of the heat, standing next to the shed that had removed the hijab, with his long-sleeved jacket on his shoulders, looking at the green orchard attentively.
For more than half a year, the greenhouse at home has successively brought more than 100,000 yuan of income. In this era, this number is enough to make most rural people exclaim.
However, as the weather becomes warmer and warmer, the windfall profits brought by greenhouse vegetables are becoming less and less. Especially now, after a large number of ordinary vegetables in the field are on the market, greenhouse cultivation has almost no advantages.
Now the greenhouses are growing some vegetables that were required in the agreements signed with those restaurants, and although there is no problem with sales, the price has plummeted, and the money is not even enough for the workers' wages.
For this reason, Comrade Zhang, as the main technical leader, is in his eyes and anxious. No, for this matter, I checked the information for several days, and today I specially asked Wang Yong to come over so that I could tell him about my new ideas.
"Green vegetables?"
As soon as he heard this term, Wang Yong was stunned. In the future, things that will be rotten on the street, as long as you want to sell them at a high price, get a small green sign and stick it up, and you can immediately sell it at the same price as pork, but in fact, only insiders know what is going on.
If it is true that green vegetables grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides should be expensive, why? It's because of the production. If you don't use pesticides and phone bills, you just brag about what kind of craftsmanship, how much output can you produce?
With the same land area and low yield, if the price is not high, how can you let people grow vegetables?
It is precisely because of the high price of green agricultural products and the increasing recognition of consumers that many people have come up with various ways to make their products can be labeled with green labels.
As for the so-called organic vegetables, Wang Yong thinks that is a ridiculous legend. Not to mention anything else, if the base of the population of 6 billion in the future is calculated, if you really let the vegetables be made as organic vegetables as wild, I am afraid that most people will not be able to afford to eat vegetables.
Besides, are the so-called experts really that good at what organic vegetables they boast about? Not to mention anything else, just one pest pest has to make most of the so-called organic vegetables not grow until harvest.
Wang Yong thinks this thing is just a hype! Health may be true, but to say that green vegetables are much better than ordinary vegetables is to fool people. At least for most of the common people who are not foodies, it is definitely foolish.
If you don't believe it, you can take out a few vegetables and put them out, and you can find a few people on the street to try them, and you can see how many people can eat which one is a green vegetable?
Therefore, when he heard Zhang Chunxiang's proposal to develop green vegetable planting, Wang Yong was stunned at first, and then simply pouted, very disdainful.
Zhang Chunxiang looked at the corners of Wang Yong's mouth, which was grinning to his ears, and immediately understood. I am despised by this bastard who knows everything but is not good at anything!
"What's that look on your face, boy? Believe it or not, I slapped you? ”
Wang Yong subconsciously shrank his neck, and leaned back in order to avoid the ensuing fixed-point strike.
"Hehe, you kid hurry up and make it clear to me, if you can't say one, two, three, don't blame you Uncle Zhang and I'm not polite to you?"
Seeing that Uncle Zhang did not suppress himself by force as usual, Wang Yong was surprised for a moment, and soon understood that this was an explanation waiting for him!
"Well, let me ask you what exactly is a green agricultural product?"
"Yohe, do you still want to test your Uncle Zhang? Listen up! After speaking, Zhang Chunxiang stretched out his hand and put it together to become a Mediterranean hairstyle, and then opened his mouth and said:
"Green agricultural products refer to safe, high-quality and nutritious agricultural products that follow the principle of sustainable development, are produced in accordance with specific production methods, are recognized by specialized agencies, and are licensed to use green food labels."
"Yes, anything else?"
"And? What is it? ”
Wang Yong looked at Zhang Chunxiang, who didn't know what he was doing, and immediately understood that this person was also new to this kind of thing, and he only knew some exaggerated information from books, and even from newspapers, television, news and other media.
"Then let me ask you, even if it is the lowest level of A-level certification, where can we buy those low-residue pesticides and fertilizers that meet the standards? Also, does our country have green food certification? Do you know how much it costs to get a certification and what the procedures are? ”
A series of questions made Zhang Chunxiang speechless, he just felt that green agricultural products must have a future from the perspective of a technician, but he didn't know anything else.
Looking at Zhang Chunxiang, who was very embarrassed, Wang Yong smiled and comforted him: "Uncle Zhang, in the future, we will definitely get involved in green agricultural products, even organic agricultural products, but not now!" ”
Zhang Chunxiang also understood that what he learned from the information alone would cost tens of thousands of dollars without an environmental certification, and if he invited someone to come to our place, thinking of this, he shook his head directly, wanting to drive this unrealistic idea out of his head.
Although Nima has made some money in the past six months by relying on a few greenhouses, if you invite other Yankees to come over for certification, I am afraid that even the air ticket money will not be enough!
"I know what you think, isn't it just that we are getting more and more unprofitable growing vegetables, and I am anxious! This loss of money, can't we just make up for it in other aspects? ”
"Make it up? You kid doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk! How do you make it up? So what's the supplement? ”
"Hehe, I've thought about it a long time ago, you see that our orchard is so big, what if you want to raise some chickens and ducks?"
Zhang Chunxiang was stunned all of a sudden! He is a plant-grower, and he is not so proficient in animal husbandry. But even so, he also knows that large-scale farming is not as simple as raising a few chickens and ducks at home to slaughter and eat meat during the Chinese New Year.
In addition to funds, the biggest problem in large-scale breeding is epidemic prevention. There is a good saying, there are thousands of families, and those with hair do not count.
This large-scale breeding, whether it is chickens and ducks, or large livestock, cattle, sheep and pigs, or even aquatic products, as long as one is not careful, it may be epidemic, so that farmers will go bankrupt and lose everything.
"This is not easy, we don't have this kind of experience here, in case something goes wrong, it's not a trivial matter!"
"I know, so I didn't think about raising more, first raise 1,800 chickens, a dozen pigs to try, save some experience points, and you're helping to find a few experienced veterinarians or something, and when we have experience, we'll get bigger!"
Zhang Chunxiang still shook his head disapprovingly, from the bottom of his heart he didn't agree with this. In his opinion, this matter is not as reliable as the green vegetable idea he mentioned earlier!
Wang Yong also saw that Zhang Chunxiang was very interested in green agricultural products, and considering the broad market prospects of green agricultural products in the future, it was not impossible to let him try it now. Even if you can't make it, it's good to accumulate experience first.
"In this way, Uncle Zhang, you can try to get a shed first and conduct experiments, even if no one recognizes it at that time, we can be regarded as having technical reserves. As long as the market recognizes it in the future, we will be able to get on it immediately, right? ”
As soon as Zhang Chunxiang saw that Wang Yong looked unconcerned and absent-minded, he knew that it was impossible to persuade him not to engage in large-scale breeding.
"Hey! Toss it as you want, don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you! ”
Regarding Zhang Chunxiang's disagreement, Wang Yong simply rolled his eyes and stopped talking. He believed that facts speak louder than words, and it wouldn't be long before he understood that what he was thinking was not so simple.
Seeing that Wang Yong was determined to enter the breeding industry, Zhang Chunxiang thought about it and prepared to give him ideas, at least let him take fewer detours.
"I heard from a former colleague that the city is negotiating with a large foreign company to build a feed production plant in our city, and when the time comes, I will ask him to help and get you a pilot or something.
But what he didn't expect was that Wang Yong didn't appreciate it, and a word left him speechless.
"I know, isn't it Taisho? You still say that you are engaged in green planting, why are you confused when it comes to breeding? How can the chickens and ducks that grow up fed feed compare with the free-range chickens and ducks at home? ”
Zhang Chunxiang was stunned by Lei's eyes, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. I didn't expect that this kid would have the same idea as himself. But didn't you just say that it's unreliable to rely on green food in China now?
"That's what I'm going to do, let's try the water a little bit first, if the market accepts it, let's start a big fight, if not, stay and eat it yourself, or give it to familiar relatives as gifts, anyway, it doesn't cost much."
"Well, if that's pretty much the same. By the way, I'll leave a few of yours, I'll take them back to my house to eat during the Chinese New Year, and get a few more for my father-in-law. He has been a chef in his old age, if he eats well and helps to say a few words in the circle, it will be enough for us to work! ”
Wang Yong immediately became interested, and came to Zhang Chunxiang and asked very gossipy: "Uncle Zhang, your father-in-law is a chef?" Haven't heard of it? Where do you become a chef? Isn't it a canteen master in a factory? ”
"What's that look on your face? Don't you underestimate people? Tell you, the old man really worked in the canteen, but it was the canteen of the capital city government! ”
Wang Yong was shocked, bull! Definitely a cow! How can the owner who can be in charge of the canteen of the capital city hall not be a cow? At least it has to be a special grade, right?
Looking at Zhang Chunxiang's triumphant look, Wang Yong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but hit him.
"Uncle Zhang, since my aunt's father is so bullish, why didn't he stay in the capital? Also, how could his old man agree to you being such a person, and why would he marry his daughter? ”
"Ah, this, that, I'll go see how they're doing."
Seeing Zhang Chunxiang fleeing in the wilderness, Wang Yong couldn't help but stand in place and laugh.
Yesterday, there was a convulsion at the starting point, and I couldn't climb up, so everyone understands!
