Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 68 Industrial Adjustment, Sanyuan Hotpot

In the living room of the small western-style building.

Yu Yang looked up at the Sanyuan agricultural planning map on the wall, pondering the planting plan.

First of all.

The monks got tired of eating bean sprouts, and the people in the surrounding cities and counties also lost interest in bean sprouts.

In addition, bean sprouts from the south flooded into the north, lowering the selling price and reducing profits.

The yield of our own bean sprouts is bound to decrease.

Fortunately, transportation costs are extremely high these days.

In particular, the planting cycle of bean sprouts is long, and bean sprouts in the south have not caused cross-regional dumping.

Our own bean sprouts are still available for sale.

Yu Yang summoned a translucent panel and counted the heads of the strong men.

Thanks to the previous plan for continuous military expansion, the original 225 farmers have now increased to 327.

Each person holds one mu of land, and their family owns about 32.7 mu of farmland.

A plastic greenhouse covers 2.25 acres. Once the kang is laid, you can own 14.5 real plastic greenhouses at home.

We will retain 5 bean sprouts greenhouses and add 25 fake plastic greenhouses to continue wholesale business.

The remaining 9.5 real plastic greenhouses, combined with 50 fake plastic greenhouses, are all used to grow leeks.

Then the harvest is staggered and lasts for a week.

At the same time, we will speed up the construction of plastic greenhouses and invest in 50 more. After the last round of leek sprouts are harvested in 9.5 real plastic greenhouses, we will switch to growing lettuce.

The 50 plastic greenhouses that were previously used to grow leeks have been retained and harvested occasionally.

Then, the 9.5 real plastic greenhouses harvested lettuce several times and planted green peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes instead.

The first planting is just about raising seedlings and growing rice seedlings. When the rice seedlings are close to harvest, they will be transplanted to a new batch of 50 plastic greenhouses that have been put into production, and then planted again for harvesting.

Then 9.5 real plastic greenhouses were used to grow strawberries, grapes, and watermelons. The process was the same: first, seedlings were raised, then transplanted, and then replanted for harvesting...

In general, real plastic greenhouses play a leading role in increasing production, while fake plastic greenhouses can both look good and produce output.

Yu Yang wrote and drew for a long time according to the speed of factory construction.

Looking back at what I wrote, I feel it is a bit confusing and the words are incomprehensible...

I was planning to make some revisions, but then I thought, I couldn’t even understand it, let alone my employees and the outside world?
Besides, given the scale of Sanyuan Agriculture, few people know how many plastic greenhouses it has put into production.

As long as we have high production and good benefits, we will have experts and scholars from Thailand to help us achieve it.

Even if it doesn't exist, the boss will make it exist to show off.

After Yu Yang finished cooking the vegetables.

Contact the technicians at the seed station and ask them to speed up the purchase.

Unexpectedly, the other party brought an unexpected news.

"Boss, there is a genetically modified potato on the market that is produced in North America. It is called New Leaf. After being sliced ​​and germinated, its yield is three times higher than that of regular potatoes. However, since it is imported, the price of potatoes used for germination is ten times higher than that of regular potatoes."

It's no surprise that seeds are expensive.

For example, watermelon seeds, 200g costs about 300 yuan, which is dozens of times more expensive than edible watermelon seeds.

But 200g of watermelon seeds, which contain about 5000 seeds, can cultivate 1000 to 1500 watermelon seedlings, enough to plant 5 acres of land.

So seeds cannot be compared with food.

What Yu Yang found strange was that he knew about genetically modified soybeans and that they had already entered the East.

But the appearance of genetically modified potatoes occurred more than ten years earlier than people thought.

I vaguely remember that it was in 2013, when a batch of potatoes were purchased on the construction site. The chef complained about the purchasing manager, saying that these potatoes looked smooth and shiny and looked good, but in fact, apart from being crispy, they had no potato flavor at all and were not tasty when cooked, so much so that the workers talked about them.

The manager in charge of purchasing asked the purchasing staff and found out that a large number of genetically modified potatoes had appeared on the market.

It now appears that Western agricultural companies, or seed companies, have already developed a series of genetically modified crops.

My family mainly engages in agriculture. If I want to make a living...

Then you can only pull the hook to the maximum.

That is, take over Pingdong Lake, obtain the third-level village and town center, and open up the experimental field.

"Boss, do you want to purchase genetically modified potatoes?"

"No, we only purchase seeds that taste good and have a strong potato flavor. The yield doesn't matter. We grow them ourselves, and the same goes for other seeds."

"I see. That means we want the original taste."

“I understand it very well.”

Yu Yang hung up his cell phone and went to the breeding greenhouse to take a look. The soybeans planted more than half a month ago had lost all their leaves, and the bunches of beans hanging on the branches had turned blue-gray.

Although the winter sun is not as strong, the soybeans grown on primary improved farmland are still approaching harvest time.

Yu Yang silently thought about the harvest.

[There are only 4 days left before it is fully ripe. If we harvest now, the yield will be reduced by 20%. Should we harvest now?]
"no!"

……

the next day.

Yu Yang came to the township compound, planning to use the blacksmith shop to make hot pots, carts, and metal plates.

When I came to the backyard and took a look, I saw piles of rusty rails.

And they are still being shipped in continuously.

Yu Yang counted on his fingers and couldn't help but take a breath.

A single section of rail that is 25 meters long and weighs 38 kg per meter costs only 380 yuan.

The company invested 500 million + 561.6 million, which is equivalent to buying sticks.

What concept?
If you connect all these rails together, they would be as long as 500 kilometers!

"Big brother from the Northeast, you are so generous."

In fact, steel rails are not rare, especially in the heavy industrial areas of Northeast China, where a batch is replaced almost every few years.

Especially as locomotive performance is getting better and better, train speeds are getting faster and faster, and the traction weight is getting higher and higher, the slender 38kg-level track can no longer bear it and must be upgraded.

So there were 43kg, 50kg, 60kg, and even 75kg.

The rails are being eliminated in batches. Normally, they are all steel and should be recycled and recast.

However, rare elements such as carbon and manganese are added to the rails, which places relatively high demands on electric smelting furnaces.

In addition, during the use of the rails, they are corroded by various liquids and rusted for a long time, producing various impurities, resulting in the cost of recasting far exceeding the production of a new one.

If it is used to produce other things, it will be an even greater loss.

Therefore, most of the obsolete rails are discarded in warehouses or buried in pits.

Now when the big brothers in Northeast China heard that there was a sucker who wanted to buy it, they were afraid that they couldn’t sell it, so they directly paid the price of scrap iron, 0.20 cents per pound.

In fact, it’s quite expensive at 20 cents per pound.

Because of the current overcapacity, a wave of layoffs has been triggered.

If you give an order to a steel mill, they will sell it for a few cents per pound just to light the furnace.

Once the stove is lit, you can exchange orders for loans.

With the loan, the whole factory can issue money…

Of course, the material of the rails is far superior to ordinary steel, so the company is not losing out.

Yu Yang thought about it and came to the blacksmith shop.

First, let the strong men throw in a steel rail, and then set what needs to be built according to the prompts on the page.

A thin-skinned hot pot with the luster of a railway track came out just like that.

Different from the traditional Beijing hotpot, it is a bit like a large bowl the size of two palms.

The upper part is a round pot and the lower part is a hollow stove.

Candles, alcohol boxes, kerosene boxes, charcoal, etc. can be placed in the stove.

As for the thermal conductivity not being as good as copper...

It's just a pot given away when you buy groceries, don't expect too much.

Then experiment.

Not to mention, in the middle of winter, sitting alone under the cold eaves, burning charcoal, grilling hot pot, eating Luxi small-tailed Han sheep slices and Luxi yellow cattle slices, and tasting Jingyanggang liquor...

"Hahaha, I am Yu Sanyuan. May I ask where you come from and where you are going?"

This is probably called artistic conception.

Of course, not everyone likes this tune.

Yu Yang thought about it, picked up a pen and paper, and drew a few more scenes.

The young couple showed their affection on a snowy day, "Sanyuan Hotpot, he is good, I am good too!"

Also, the little kid was crying and making a fuss about eating hot pot, and the young parents were having a headache, and the grandmother came out with the hot pot, and then kindly said to the camera: "Sanyuan hot pot, warm and appetizing, always available at home!"

Let me ask you, who can resist our hot pot vegetable gift pack?
