Chapter 14: The Farm
At the end of the year, when the village held a general meeting, the village chief proposed two projects, oyster farming and vegetable planting, which really aroused an enthusiastic response.
Most of these repercussions are aimed at oyster farms, after all, the Su family's farms have samples that can be seen there, and vegetables have been planted for generations, but they have never made a fortune.
In fact, after Su Yuanyang carefully sorted out his ideas on vegetable planting, he found an opportunity to talk to the village chief in detail again. After the conversation, the village chief also paid attention to this from ignoring it at the beginning. Because after thinking about it, he felt that Su Yuanyang made a lot of sense, vegetable planting is really unique (after that conversation, he, Su Yuanyang and local friends did a survey in the vegetable markets all over Haicheng, and these varieties are not listed in Haicheng), and the number of restaurants supplied to various restaurants is already considerable, as well as the general public!
During that detailed conversation, Su Yuanyang took Su Yan and invited him to the restaurant in the city to try those vegetables in person:
Corn can be used to make all kinds of dishes, can also be made into soup, or it can be steamed and eaten directly, and it is sweet and sweet for all ages.
Stir-fried pork with round pepper has a unique taste and is a home-style side dish with a variety of pairings.
The methods of lotus root are even more diverse, such as cold dressing, stir-frying, soup, sweet and sour...... It can also be eaten raw, and there are many by-products when planting lotus roots: lotus leaves can be used in medicine to cook porridge, lotus silk can also be used in medicine, lotus seeds can be eaten raw, soup, desserts, and even lotus pods can be used in medicine......
Yam is also nutritious and can be used for both food and medicine: dry can be used for medicine, soup, wet can be pulled, soup, cotton and fragrant, according to Su Yuanyang's previous information, human needs of 18 kinds of amino acids, yam contains 16 kinds. In addition, it also has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, helping digestion, preventing cardiovascular diseases, prolonging life, and building a healthy body.
It can be expected that once these vegetables are planted and marketed locally, as long as the price is moderate, they will definitely be popular on the people's tables. Su Yuanyang has found a way to the problem of seeds, and the cost is not too high, so the village chief now attaches great importance to the prospect of vegetable planting.
Their Sujia Village is a big village, with a large population, and it is better to develop on multiple lines.
It's just that not all of them have the same thoughts as Su Yuanyang and the village chief. Earlier, it was reported that Su Yuanyangken helped contact the aquatic company to provide oyster seedlings and provide advice on site selection, and the qualified people were full of energy to prepare for the funds to prepare for a big job, the scale of the farm with more funds is larger, and the small ones with less funds also have to participate, and in the end, there are 30 families who decided to open a farm, and the rest are either migrant workers who do not want to come back and face the black soil with their backs to the sky, or there is no capital to open farms.
Vegetable cultivation needs a large area of land, just those who open farms, and those who work outside the home only left behind by their wives and children, these people do not have the energy to take care of the field, the village chief mobilized them to rent out the land, and provide it to those who are interested in vegetable breeding. There are some people who are optimistic about vegetable cultivation but lack of funds, so they keep their own land and plant little by little. Anyway, the village chief sent a message, and he would be responsible for selling these vegetables after they were harvested. For a period of time, Su Yuanyang has been in the limelight in the village, and the village chief has begun to have a sense of crisis, of course he knows that Su Yuanyang has no intention of being the village head, but he still feels very depressed, the source and sales of oyster seedlings, and the seeds of vegetables are all run by Su Yuanyang, so he has been the village chief for several years and has accumulated a lot of contacts, and he is very active and actively asks to run the vegetable market.
In the end, there were two companies that decided to grow vegetables on a large scale.
The family was actually the village head, and their family had prepared money to open a farm, but he finally suppressed the family's objections and decided to engage in vegetable planting. The village chief contracted 30 acres of land.
The other is Su Yuanyang, who rented 50 acres of land in the name of the three brothers of the Su family, signed a ten-year lease, and paid the rent at the beginning of each year. Those fields are not rice fields, they are only used to grow peanuts and sweet potatoes after being allocated to each family, and many of them have been abandoned for a long time, so the rent is not expensive, 300 yuan per mu a year.
Of course, the rent of the farm this year was actually paid by Su Yuanyang alone. Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang missed the opportunity to set up a farm at the beginning of the year, and this time they were actually obedient to the eldest brother's advice on vegetable planting, but their daughter-in-law unanimously opposed life and refused to take the money out. In the end, it is Su Yan who is the master, and the mention yƬ is funded by Su Dad, and the land is rented in the name of his brother for planting, and the first year's investment is all made by Su Dad, Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang can go out to work as planned, and hire people to work on the farm, and if the harvest is good and there is money to be made after the end of the year, after deducting the cost paid by Su Dad, everyone will share the income equally. If the harvest is not good, Su's father is responsible. After the following year, if Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang's family discussed it and felt that they still wanted to join, they would start to share the cost and share equally. Such obvious benefits, of course, Su Yuanhe and the daughter-in-law of Su Yuanjiang's family did not object.
After the meeting, Su Yuanyang got the land information and returned to his home in the town. After the store closed in the next few days, he took Su Yan together and began to plan how to plant in different areas. Su Yuanyang wanted to plant all the four cash crops, and finally decided to dig the ten acres of land near the water source to dig it lower, so that the water source could be naturally introduced and used to plant lotus roots. At the opposite end of the lotus root field there are ten acres of sandy land, which is used to grow yams. Thirty acres of land in the middle, ten acres of corn, ten acres of round peppers, and ten acres left, Su Yuanyang plans to use them to grow sweet potatoes.
The seeds of these vegetables, in fact, Su Yuanyang inquired with Cheng Hui. Cheng Hui has a friend named Lao Ye in the provincial agricultural research institute, and these seeds are provided by Cheng Hui to this friend. Lao Ye heard that Su Yuanyang was going to engage in planting, so he asked Cheng Hui about sweet potatoes. His relatives opened a vegetable and fruit wholesale company in the provincial capital, and they need sweet potatoes all year round, but no one grows this crop near the provincial capital, and he generally transports them outside the province.
After hearing this, Su Yuanyang agreed, sweet potatoes were originally a common crop on their side, and they were easy to plant. In addition to his ten acres, if there is a greater demand from Lao Ye's relatives at that time, he can also mobilize the villagers to provide it.
There are still a few days to the New Year, in addition to transporting ingredients to Su Ji every day, Su Yuanyang is patrolling the farm or asking someone to repair the land in the village at other times, seeing that it is February, Cheng Hui has already said hello to Su Yuanyang, the oysters of the Su family farm will probably start to be harvested at the end of February and early March, and it will be busy again, so he has to hurry up and arrange the things of the farm.
Speaking of which, the oysters in the aquaculture company's farms have been eaten a lot by lychee snails this year. After all, it is a worker who is invited, and cleaning up the lychee snails is not as careful as Su Yuanyang, who often goes to inspect in person, and the reduction of production is inevitable, which is also the reason why the aquatic company decided to stop breeding itself from next year.
Li Wanzhen saw that Su Yuanyang was tired of running around every day, so she simply let him live in the village.
