Chapter 402: Not Afraid of Losing Money
"Little girl, you know a lot, where did you get all this knowledge?"
"Yes, it was a technician at our local agricultural station who told me about seedless melons, saying that seedless melons are triploid, and biologically speaking, triploid has no seeds, so watermelons have no seeds.
Grandpa Yao, we came this time, just like asking the Academy of Agricultural Sciences if the seedless melon seedlings can be sold to us, we want to deduct the greenhouse to plant seedless melons, and wait until the winter before the Chinese New Year to go on the market, so that it will definitely make more money than buying watermelons in summer. ”
"Selling watermelons in winter, who came up with the idea of a little girl?"
An Jiaye and the others all looked at An Xia, Yao Xinjie didn't expect that this little girl coincided with his own thoughts.
"I think there are too few vegetables to eat in winter, in addition to potatoes and cabbage radish, there are only cabbage and cabbage left, we are still in the middle, the diet in the north is more monotonous, they have fewer green leafy vegetables, in fact, I wanted to plant cucumbers and tomatoes at the beginning, this kind of out-of-season vegetables will definitely be able to sell at a good price before the year, but vegetables are agricultural crops after all, and it is difficult to store and lose a lot, just when I went to the agricultural station, I learned that seedless melon, I think seedless melon is novelty, and convenient transportation and storage, a watermelon can be put for a long time, And fruits are cash crops, and I think growing this is more profitable than vegetables.
Grandpa Yao, I speak more bluntly, farmers work so hard to farm, for what? It's just to make more money and live a good life, so I asked around where I could buy this kind of melon seedlings, and I happened to ask Grandpa Lu, who knew such a coincidence. ”
"What's the name of that technician at the Agricultural Science Station?"
Anxia didn't expect that Grandpa Yao would still get to the bottom of it, but she made it all up, I don't know what his name is, but he has already left and is no longer at the Agricultural Science Station. ”
"It shouldn't be." The director next to him muttered, "This agricultural science station is assigned by major colleges and universities, why is it not there?" It's stable work. ”
Anxia couldn't answer, at this time, they were all assigned jobs, or they would recruit workers, so the agricultural science station was really a good unit, "Maybe I'm on leave, anyway, I'll look for this person later, and I haven't met again." ”
"Director Liu, pay attention to the agricultural science station over there in Shanpo Town to see if there are any good seedlings."
Director Liu promised again and again, everyone began to visit the seedless melon seedling cultivation base, under the introduction of Mr. Yao, we have a thorough understanding of seedless melon, seedless melon is more resistant to storage and transportation than ordinary watermelon, watermelon juice is sweet and tasteful, the soil requirements are not high, most places in Wushi can be planted, that is, the technical requirements are relatively high, for those who have not planted melons, there must be technicians to provide technical guidance. ”
After the visit, Anxia became more and more excited, and originally held a negative attitude of Anjiaye, the idea of the heart has slowly changed a lot, just now Mr. Yao said, if you can successfully plant seedless melons, in the winter for sales, the market will not be bad, they have invested in a batch of autumn and winter ripe watermelons, sold for one yuan a catty, are selling very well, not to mention the new varieties.
An Jiaye has a little more confidence, Cheng Wenlian is even more excited, and An Dingkai and a few technicians next to them exchanged seedless melon planting technology, the technician told them a lot, how to raise seedlings, planting, pruning, pollination and field management and picking, none of them are very knowledgeable, the most important thing is to raise seedlings, but seedless melons directly buy watermelon seedlings, saving the trouble of seedlings.
After everyone finished reading it, An Xia and Cheng Wenlian glanced at each other, and asked Director Liu just now, wanting to buy some seedless melon seedlings and return to the village for trial planting.
Director Liu asked a little difficult, seedless melon is their new variety, still in the experimental stage, they plan to open up a test field for planting, after all, it is not a mature technology, if it is rashly promoted to farmers, in case of planting failure, it will cause huge losses to farmers.
Director Liu looked at Academician Yao, which is the result of research under the guidance of Academician Yao, Yao Xinjie nodded and said: "Seedless melon is a variety that has just been cultivated, and it is not technically mature, our Academy of Agricultural Sciences is still in the exploration stage, this year we plan to plant in the experimental base, and when we have a complete set of planting methods, we will consider pilot promotion in rural areas."
You are all farmers, and you know that farmers are not rich, and you do not have the technology to grow watermelons, seedless melons are more delicate varieties, if you don't take care of them well, or there are various problems in planting, it is likely that there will be no harvest, and all the money invested will be wasted, if you can wait for a year, we will promote it on a small scale next year. ”
"Grandpa Yao, we are not afraid of expensive, no matter what the result is, we really don't have the technology of planting watermelons, but no one will plant melons and land at the beginning, everyone learns.
My cousin An Dingkai is more talented in farming, he has taught him a lot of things, he can do well in two operations, I can let him come to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences every day to learn melon planting technology with technicians, we can also ask technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide our village, we give technicians a certain amount of technical consultation fees.
It's not that I don't want to wait, but the market must seize the opportunity, now the seedless melon is in the experimental stage, and the outside has not been planted, then we are the only one, if it succeeds, it will occupy the market opportunity, even if the seedless melon is planted elsewhere in the future, we have opened up the market first, and we have more opportunities than others.
The head of our village also hopes to introduce seedless melon technology as soon as possible, so that he can accumulate experience and market earlier than others, and the whole village can also be in a leading position in the future market competition and can bring the whole village to get rich.
We want to grow seedless melons, definitely not just to make money for individuals, our village is too poor, so poor that there is no money to treat illness, so we endure it, every household is now just cornmeal and rice mixed with food, not busy farming and festivals, meat is reluctant to eat, adults are reluctant to buy a new dress for the New Year, many girls because the family has no money, primary school has not finished at home dropping out of school, helping the family to work.
Everyone's life is really too difficult, Grandpa Yao, you let us try it, no matter how much money you lose, I am willing to give it a try for seedless melons, and I am willing to take this risk by myself. ”
"You, little girl, do you know how much it will cost?"
An Xia took out three thousand yuan from her bag, "I have prepared three thousand yuan, if it is not enough, I will prepare it again, no matter how much it is, I want to try it." ”
"I am also willing to pay my own money to give the villagers a current test, and if Uncle An succeeds, we will promote it in the whole village next year." Cheng Wenlian stood firmly beside An Xia, "I can't let you pay alone." ”
"Brother Cheng, this is farming for my fourth uncle, it makes no sense for you to pay, and I have prepared enough money."
Old Man Yao was a little confused, this little girl was very poor and miserable just now, but where did she get so much money.
