Each piece of plastic foam is about one meter square and 5 centimeters thick, and there are many circular holes evenly distributed on the foam board.

I don't see what this is for.

田云庚 says:

"It's a new technology for growing rice. Rice seedlings are placed in these holes, and foam boards are put into the pond to truly achieve soilless cultivation. These foam boards can be connected together and harvested at the pond when the rice is ripe without going into the water. I'd like to give it a try. ”

This intrigued me, because the island is surrounded by vast waters and there is no wind on the island, so it is very suitable to grow rice in this way.

"Where did Uncle Tian buy these foam boards? Where are rice seedlings found? ”

I pretended to be curious, and consciously or unconsciously inquired about these ingredients.

"Foam board is so good that anyone who makes foam can do it. Rice seedlings are cultivated by myself every year. I'll take you to see it in a moment, and the seedlings I have cultivated are quite good. ”

He Zhensheng pointed to the pond and asked:

"I'm God! Don't you use this pond to raise fish? Planting rice on the surface of the water will not affect the growth of fish? ”

"Alas!"

Tian Yungeng sighed and shook his head.

"Whether it is affected or not depends on how much I plant. If all the ponds were planted with rice, it would definitely affect the fish production. If the amount of rice planted is small, it will have no effect. However, I plan to plant all the 50 acres of ponds with rice, and as for the fish, I don't plan to raise them. ”

"Why?"

Not only did He Zhensheng have questions, but I also had questions.

With such a large pond, the number of farmed fish is definitely very impressive. In my mind, I think that raising fish is more profitable than growing rice. It is incomprehensible that he intends to give up fish farming and grow all rice.

But after listening to his explanation, I was speechless. He Zhensheng just smiled at me and didn't poke it in front of me.

Tian Yungeng explained it this way.

"I'll tell you the truth. For so many years, I have been tossing around, and I have made some money, basically let me spend it, and my life is not bad, and I have made do with it. The real money is that in recent years, this fish farming is the big head.

"All the fish I raise are supplied to those large supermarkets and shopping malls in Qiongyang City, and there are special cars to pull them almost every ten days and a half months, and I don't need to go to the city in person, and the ones who pull the goods settle the bill with me.

"But, just a few years ago, almost a month ago, I was topped by a competitor. I heard that it is a freshwater fish from the north, and it seems that it is also a big boss in your Loess County. His fish doesn't look much stronger than mine, and he's big and small.

"There are carp, grass carp, and silver carp. However, once you make it and put it on the table and eat it in your mouth, the feeling is different. Even if the same person cooks the same dish in the same way, the taste is the same. If this thing is not about fish, no one will believe it.

"Actually, I don't believe it, for this matter, I personally bought two, and compared them with my own fish at home, and the result is really two flavors. I'm completely convinced, but I can't compete with others, so I admit it.

"But I'm not willing to do this, after all, I'm engaged in agriculture and have a college background. What is the specific reason for this difference? I can't analyze it. For this reason, I also sent a few fish to the Qiongyang Science Research Institute and asked those experts to help analyze them.

"Not to mention, they gave me a conclusion. People's fish is rich in some rare elements, so people eat it well. To some extent, it can increase a person's nervous excitability. To put it bluntly, eating that stuff is addictive.

"But people are not contraband, the taste is fresher than our fish, admit it or not, the facts are there, we are convinced.

"Later, I heard that someone had invented the technology of growing rice on the water, and I simply stopped raising fish, and changed to rice to increase the rice area, which can also increase income. I planted rice in all directions, in the water, in the mountains, and under the mountains. Although I can't make a fortune, I can make some contributions to the country, and I will be at ease in this life. ”

As soon as Tian Yungeng said this, I understood that it was my freshwater fish in the different dimension who robbed him of his business. In the face of such a conscientious professional engaged in agriculture, I was moved with compassion in my heart, and I really felt a little sorry not to go.

But I can't say it explicitly. Fortunately, He Zhensheng had more eyes in his heart and did not pierce it on the spot. I secretly decided to give him some compensation in terms of organic fertilizer, so as not to let this diligent agricultural colleague suffer a big loss.

Later, when I shipped to Tian Yungeng, I gave him a 9% discount on the wholesale price. This is the only customer who discounts the sales of organic fertilizer in Qiongyang.

Tian Yungeng took us to his house.

The location of his home is relatively special, just south of Shawa Village. The yard is large, and several small plastic sheds have been built in the yard to cultivate rice seedlings.

Taking this opportunity, I took the initiative to ask for advice on how to select, breed and cultivate seedlings, and he explained the whole process to me in detail.

The only drawback, he said, is that there is no equipment to automatically place seedlings on foam boards. This matter requires the help of mechanical experts.

I quietly recorded the process of his speech, and went back to let Rufeng listen to it to see if it had any good ideas.

I took a lot of photos of the plastic foam board and the seedling cultivation site, and maybe I will be able to use it in the future.

To the south of the courtyard are four pens for seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. In addition to his own use, Tian Yungeng will also sell it to other farmers who grow rice in the surrounding area.

Colleagues in the neighborhood believe in him, because he is an agricultural expert, and he can ask for advice at any time.

To this end, he voluntarily organized training courses on agricultural technology two or three times a year, which were generally welcomed by the vast number of peasants.

To this end, news reports have been carried out in Shahe Township and the county.

Although he did not work in the government, he never forgot that he was an intellectual, and he also strengthened his self-study, and published many professional papers on rice and fish farming in some journals.

The county's personnel department took the initiative to find him and gave him a professional title, and he is now a senior agricultural economist and a supernumerary consultant to the Agricultural Bureau.

Someone in the organization department once took the initiative to invite him to take up a position in the organ, but he politely declined. I feel that farming is down-to-earth, and dealing with crops is easier than dealing with people.

I admire Tian Yungeng in my heart, he is assertive, does not follow the crowd, has goals, perseveres, wholeheartedly, and engages in agriculture in a down-to-earth manner. It's not like some people who are on top, pointing fingers, and detached from reality.

That's the kind of person who really does the business.

Those that can truly benefit future generations are rooted in the front line of production.

Tian Yungeng's several houses are enough to sell organic fertilizer. With such a large yard, even if it can't fit in the house, it can be temporarily stored in the compound.

There is no need to worry about the venue.

As for the propaganda channels, don't worry about it.

Tian Yungeng has the phone numbers of all the big farmers in the surrounding radius of nearly 100 miles, and he only needs to send a message in the group, he suggests using nano carbon fertilizer, and all the farmer brothers have no objections at all, and they believe him 100%.

There is no problem with sales.

This is also the reason why He Zhensheng swore that getting to know Tian Yungeng would be of great help to the sales of my organic carbon fertilizer.
