After the two had breakfast, Zeng Zhi drove the Ford Taurus to the vegetable supermarket. He also had to go there to pick up the pickup truck and pretend to "buy it".

After transporting the products needed by today's vegetable supermarket, Zeng Zhi unexpectedly did not stay in the supermarket to pester Wang Yan, but drove back to his hometown in Zhongpai Township. In the past week or so, because of Wang Tao's treatment, Zeng Zhi has less time to go home, leaving early and returning late every day. Now that Wang Tao's illness has been cured, he plans to go back and have a look.

However, when Zeng Zhi arrived home, he found that there was no one in the house at all, not even Dong Yue's girl was not coding in the house. After calling and inquiring, I learned that they all went to the vegetable base.

Zeng Zhi was a little curious, what was it that attracted Dong Yue, a girl?

So, Zeng Zhi rushed to the vegetable base. From afar, Zeng Zhi found that the vegetable base was very lively, and many people were busy in it.

When Zeng Zhi got closer, he knew what everyone was busy with, it turned out that they were removing foot leaves and topping vegetables for topping.

Foot leaf removal is the removal of the leaves that are the first to grow from the vegetables near the roots. These leaves will soon turn yellow and wilt because they grow early, and after removing them, you can not only reduce the loss of nutrients, but also get some products.

Topping, i.e., topping, is the work of treating the reserved dry branches, basic branches or side branches. Topping is determined according to the purpose and method of cultivation, as well as the type of growth of the variety. When the reserved trunk, basic branches, and side branches grow to a certain number of spikes and leaves (length), the top growth point is removed.

Topping can control the growth of heightening and elongation, which is conducive to thickening growth and accelerating fruit development. For example, tomatoes and other vegetables should be topped and topped, which is conducive to the harvest of vegetables.

When Zeng Zhi was about to enter the vegetable base, he saw a cousin carrying a basket of vegetable leaves and picked cabbage sum, coming out of the vegetable base.

Zeng Zhi said hello: "Auntie, go back to feed the pigs?" ”

Aunt Tang smiled and said, "Yes, your family picked so many foot leaves and cabbage, it's a pity that I look at it there, it just so happens that my family has been short of pigweed recently, so I'll carry some back." Don't say it, I don't know what's going on, pigs still like to eat. I told my fourth sister-in-law that I would carry more during this time. ”

Zeng Zhi nodded and said, "That's good, as long as the pig is willing to eat, you can carry it more, otherwise the pile will rot there." ”

Zeng Zhijia doesn't feed many pigs now, and he can't eat much at all, so he can only pile them up in the ground and let them rot, which is indeed a waste. Therefore, he has no objection to these people coming to feed these feet and cabbage to pigs, after all, waste utilization.

………………

After saying a few words to his aunt, Zeng Zhi entered the vegetable base and found that Dong Yue's girl was happily following Zeng Zhi's parents, as well as some village women hired, who were topping vegetables with tops.

Not only Dong Yue's girl is here, but even Yuan Ling is also busy in the ground. Zeng Zhi was a little speechless, these girls in the city, that is, they had never done such a job before, they just thought it was funny.

Sha Dazhu, the person in charge of the vegetable base, saw Zeng Zhi coming, so he came out of the field, walked to him and said: "Zeng Zhi, there are so many foot leaves and cabbage sum, it's really a pity to let them rot, do you think let's open a pig farm and make use of these foot leaves and cabbage sum?" ”

Zeng Zhi was stunned, he didn't expect Sha Dazhu to have such a plan. However, what he said is also very good, raise some pigs, consume some vegetable feet and cabbage, which not only solves the problem of vegetable feet and cabbage, but also provides some farm fertilizer for the vegetable base, which is convenient to reduce the cost of the vegetable base.

After all, because of the banner of green and pollution-free, the vegetable base cannot be planted with chemical fertilizer, which requires the purchase of farm fertilizer from the people in the village. Now getting a pig farm by yourself can also solve the consumption of some fertilizer, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

The scale of the vegetable base is not small, and there must be a lot of foot leaves and cabbage sums produced, which should be able to raise a lot of pigs.

In fact, vegetable leaves and cabbage sums are still small heads, and there are really many rotten vegetables caused by insect pests. After all, the vegetable base will also not use pesticides to kill insects, but can only use biological means to kill insects. This will cause more pests and diseases, and the spoiled vegetables will definitely not be able to be sold.

Another thing that will produce a lot of rotten vegetables is the damage during the picking process, which is also something that cannot be helped. After all, there are so many vegetables, and there will always be various accidents in the process of picking.

Then there are some vegetables after picking, such as peas, green beans, etc., after simple processing, they can also be used to feed pigs.

In total, these hundreds of acres of vegetable bases, after they are really put into production, will produce all kinds of inferior vegetables every day, which will be calculated in tons. If you use it, you can raise a lot of pigs, and it is also a lot of income.

In fact, there is another factor that will produce a large number of defective products in these projects invested by Zeng Zhi, that is, lotus root.

The lotus root that comes up cannot be directly sold on the market, but it is necessary to take out the rhizome part of the stunted growth, such as the lotus root handle, and no one will buy it at all when it is brought to the market. The lotus root is the oldest part of a lotus root, with the most fiber, less nutrients, and the worst taste.

In fact, after removing the parts that are not easy to sell such as lotus roots, a pound of lotus root is only six taels left at most.

However, the remaining four taels of lotus root handles and the like, although people don't like to eat them, are very good if they are to feed the pigs. Not only is the nutrients sufficient, the taste is also good, and the pigs like to eat it very much.

Of course, there is another important source of pig food, which is the weeds growing in the vegetable base. No matter what you do, it is impossible to completely eliminate the weeds in the vegetable base, especially if you can't use herbicides.

In fact, many of the weeds that accompany the growth of vegetables are excellent pig food, even better than the aforementioned vegetable feet and leaves.

Zeng Zhi estimates that the defective products and weeds produced by the vegetable base and the lotus root base are enough to support a pig farm with hundreds of heads.

If this pig farm is established, it will not only be able to make rational use of various products, but also enrich the products produced.

Therefore, Zeng Zhi thought about it and said to Sha Dazhu: "Second aunt, this suggestion of yours is very good. So, you can start this matter right away and choose a suitable place to build a pig farm. ”
