Chapter 168: Shop Watermelon Seedlings

  Old Ginger soaked his feet, and the three of them were warmed up, but the hearts of Song Youde and Song Sancheng were even hotter.

  Without him, there are actually two new tricycles in the yard, which makes it hard for them not to be moved!

  Even old man Li didn't leave, but sat and waited with relish.

  Only Seventh Cousin, who was preparing for dinner, snorted coldly:

   "You can't pick up leftover buns in the kennel! It's not dark yet, so it would be nice to go to work again, I have to show off that you have a car."

   They are all brothers in the same family, and the seventh cousin has always had this personality, and everyone is used to it.

  Song Youde raised his beard:

   "What do you know? This is a tribute to me from my granddaughter! Besides, I haven't had much work recently..."

"Ah!"

  Seventh Cousin also sneered: "Last night, I heard you say that watermelons will be interplanted in Taolin. Where are the watermelon seedlings?"

   "It is also said that golden cherry seeds should be planted on the edge, where are golden cherry seeds?"

   "I also said that I would plant a few loofahs and pumpkins for the corners over there. Have you planted them all?"

   "Didn't you say that we will pick white fungus today? Where's the white fungus?"

  He has prepared all the dried lotus seeds of rock sugar lily, and he has not seen a single tremella after waiting for a day!

  Song Sancheng was also a little unconvinced by what he said: "Cousin, there is farm work every day, why don't we take a break? Isn't it my daughter?"

  What can Song Tan say?

   On one side is Chef Tsundere, and on the other side is his dear father and grandpa.

  She simply got back into the car:

   "Then what, brother Yanping, you watch them practice, don't go through the ditches. I'll go to the town to see the watermelon seedlings. I just heard from the courier brother that someone is selling them this morning."

  Zhang Yanping hurriedly yelled: "Don't look around in the town! I know a company that sells seedlings. There are watermelons grafted from pumpkin seedlings, Qilin melons, stone seamed melons, and seedless melons. They are big and sweet!"

"no, I'm fine."

  Song Tan also started the car: "I just like the old variety of watermelon with watermelon. I grow it myself. I don't pick these."

   It’s not that grafting is not good. Grafting must have advantages in terms of nutrient delivery and growth, but the problem is that her aura is weak, and her agricultural experience is all native species. Let’s be conservative for now.

  Zhang Yanping is not as good as she is about farm work!

  At this moment, she only nodded her head pretendingly: "Jin Yingzi also heard the news, maybe it will be delivered in two days, don't worry."

   Song Tan is not in a hurry.

  It is also good to have an alternating period of planting, so that it can continue to bloom and let the bees eat a little bit.

  It is also true that she said that she would go to see the watermelon seedlings.

  Be diligent and start sowing early melons in March. She waits until early April, and if she wants to catch the early melons on the market, she has to choose their finished seedlings.

   Fortunately, it is not far from the town. In recent years, a large area of ​​farmland has been set up with greenhouses and seedling bases. Now it is easy to pick some popular seedlings.

  It's only past two o'clock in the afternoon. When I come back after picking out the seedlings, it is estimated that her father's and her grandfather's cars are almost ready for practice.

   It happened that everyone was going up the mountain to plant watermelon seedlings when the sun was not so hot.

  The land was plowed when the peach trees were planted. Now it is only necessary to dig holes for planting. After all, there is aura, extensive management, and simple.

  Driving from home to the town is much closer than the urban area, but in just over 20 minutes, the car has already arrived at the greenhouse agreed in advance.

  The weather is just right now, and several greenhouses are rolled up with plastic film to let the plants ventilate and keep the light.

   Entering the shed and looking at it, the eyes are full of green, not to mention how gratifying it is.

   "You want to buy watermelon seedlings?"

  The uncle who came in had dark skin. When he saw Song Tan, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Then he looked behind her and finally decided that the one who was going to farm in front of him was this beautiful girl with white skin.

  Song Tan nodded:

   "Yes, I am from Yunqiao Village. My family has built an orchard this year, and I want to plant some watermelons in the orchard."

"Oh, oh," the boss came back to his senses: "I know Yunqiao Village. You want to interplant orchards? Then you use much less seedlings for this acre of land than usual. You can choose first. Come on, let's take a look at the seedlings first."

The boss took her into the greenhouse next door familiarly: "They are all folks, and I won't cheat on you. If you have anything to do, just come here to find me. I can run away, but my greenhouse can't. The planting is done. You will come back next year."

  Song Tan nodded.

  She knew what the boss meant, and she also reassured herself to buy it and gave her a verbal guarantee.

  For the folks in the village, although some people choose to deceive people, most of the time, if they want to do local business for a long time, they care about word of mouth.

   "Why does this seedling look a little weak?"

  Word-of-mouth is word-of-mouth, reality is reality, and Song Tan didn't hesitate to ask questions.

  The boss is sincere: "This is an early-maturing seedling, and the melons are not big. It can be sold at the end of May and early June."

   "Don't look at the seedlings are a bit weak, it's just like this, it's not a matter of planting. You go back and plant it and try it. Keep one vine for each tree. The melons will definitely be sweet. I won't deceive you."

   "Normally, one acre of seedlings like this can plant a thousand. But if you want to intercropping, then eight hundred, it's up to you."

   "But if you want to plant more sparsely, you can't choose such small seedlings. You need another variety, and you need stronger seedlings."

  He turned right along the road and entered another greenhouse: "Look, this kind of medium-ripe melon is a month later than the previous one, but you can keep two vines for this kind of melon, and it's no problem for one tree to bear two or three melons."

   "If you want to interplant this with fruit trees, there can be no more than 300 to 500 trees per mu. The vines are too strong and take up space."

   "There are better ones, but this one, let me tell you the truth girl, few people buy this seedling now."

why?

  Its watermelon is too big.

   "Now there are only two, three or four people in a family. The melons are too big to be eaten in one go, and the refrigerator is not easy to fill. Generally, the ones that sell are not as good as the small watermelons."

   This is true, Song Tan is also very grateful when he sees this kind of big melon. Because it is really too big, all of them look like big wax gourds.

  Winter melons are placed in the supermarket, and you only buy one circle for cooking at a time. One can imagine how many people will eat this watermelon?

   It can be easily digested in his big family, but the problem is that it is really inconvenient to take out.

  She turned her head without hesitation: "Is the melon produced by your smallest seedling a little smaller?"

   "Yes," the boss said truthfully.

   "If you sell early melons, you choose small seedlings. I'm not fooling you. Look how expensive watermelons are when they first hit the market! A big one is hard to sell, and it has to be so small."

   "When the weather gets hotter, we can sell these slightly late-maturing varieties. They are bigger, cheaper, and don't hurt to eat."

  He talked about his own experience, and Song Tan listened carefully.

  Look at these days, those who sell melon seedlings have to understand the market first, and they are really gaining knowledge every day.
