Chapter 100 New Choices, New Plans, Farm Development
Small farmer's market.
People come and go.
Xu Yang's wild walnuts are selling very quickly.
"It's amazing to pick up wild walnuts in this season!"
"These walnuts should be the first batch to ripen!"
"If it doesn't look good, I won't eat it, I'll just play with it!"
"I want a pound!"
The stall was crowded with people, all shouting.
Xu Yang was busy and having a lot of fun.
It's a bit too much for one person to look after the stall.
The two puppies lay next to the wheels of the tricycle, lying on the ground waiting.
They have been here several times and are familiar with the situation here.
Soon, all the walnuts were sold out.
Another day of earning more than 400 yuan.
The live broadcast is still on at this time.
[Sold out already? Sold out so fast
[This business is interesting, it was sold out in a short time! ]
[From this perspective, life in the mountains is quite pleasant! 】
【Those who want to go can give it a try and see how tiring it is to walk in the mountains for a whole day. These mountain runners have strong legs and strong lungs. They have trained themselves to the point where most people would never want to go again after going twice! 】
People were chatting with great interest.
Although the mountain product market is shabby, the ground is still paved with red bricks and the stalls are not very formal, but it is lively.
Most people dress very plainly, mainly in camouflage uniforms and dark clothes. Occasionally you can see some wealthy people wearing gold and silver, or some "little fresh" people who dress particularly clean and tidy.
These people are usually from other places. Since it is easy to get clothes dirty in the mountain products market, it is best to wear old clothes.
After Xu Yang sold all the walnuts, he planned to close his stall and go home.
Another busy day.
At this time, a man at the stall next to him shouted to Xu Yang:
"Would you like to see the sika deer? It's easy to get a certificate."
"It would be nice to have a little one as a pet!"
The eldest brother even picked up the little sika deer he raised and showed it to Xu Yang.
Sika deer can only be sold to local people because it is easier for them to get certificates and they all have yards and plenty of space.
Nowadays, many people raise sika deer.
He also knew that Xu Yang was a farmer and had cats and dogs, so he wanted to do Xu Yang's business.
Xu Yang waved his hand and said with a smile:
"No need, I have one on my farm, and it's a big sika deer."
Hearing this, the eldest brother was a little confused:
"Have you obtained the breeding certificate? Are you going to open a deer shed?"
Xu Yang responded:
"The sika deer on my farm don't need a certificate, and I can't get one because they are not farmed."
“I won’t buy this little guy.”
After saying that, Xu Yang started to pack up and stopped talking.
There are many people engaged in breeding here, raising all kinds of animals.
The deer house is one of them.
Sika deer can generate income through velvet antlers, venison, antlers, etc., and the cubs can also be sold as pets to recoup some of the investment.
Xu Yang never thought of doing business with sika deer, he just wanted to raise them.
He had seen the sika deer in the deer shed. They were all raised on feed, and their fur was generally gray and not that bright.
Whether it is a wild sika deer, or a sika deer that has been carefully cared for and raised, eating the best grass and drinking clean mountain spring water, the orange hair looks beautiful.
It reflects light whenever the sunlight shines on it.
Xu Yang packed up and drove away.
He also turned off the live broadcast.
There was nothing worth visiting in the mountain product market.
After all, he could pick up most of the things himself.
All the way back to the farm.
As soon as I got back, I saw the ducks on the farm quacking and coming back from outside.
They noticed Xu Yang and greeted him.
Then a group of ducks ran to the door of the duck house and wanted to go in and rest.
This is because I am tired after playing for a whole day.
The door of the duck house was closed and they couldn't open it, so they could only stand at the door and quack.
Xu Yang parked the car and went to open the door for them.
The ducks immediately rushed into the room happily and found a place to sleep.
Xu Yang had nothing to do next, so he went to check on the situation on the farm.
I don’t know where the sika deer ran to, it may have already left.
I guess I will bring my friends here tomorrow morning.
The two little fat birds were still there, flying to Xu Yang's shoulders from time to time.
Whenever Li Shan went out to work, he was surprised to see new animals around Xu Yang.
This time when Brother Yang went into the mountains, two more little white birds followed him.
How outrageous!
He admired Xu Yang very much in his heart.
There was nothing to do afterwards, so after feeding the dog, Xu Yang lay down in his yard to rest.
The farm is developing smoothly.
The blueberries are growing very well and will be available in December.
I should be able to make a lot of money by then!
After a day of hiking in the mountains, I'm exhausted. It's so comfortable to just lie down and play with my phone for a while.
The next day, early in the morning.
Xu Yang looked at a large open space on the farm and fell into deep thought.
110 acres of land is not small.
Now the living area + four greenhouses + breeding area are not even one third used.
There is still a large area of vacant land. Xu Yang is not very interested in planting because the income from planting is relatively low.
But I feel uncomfortable leaving the land empty. Isn't it a pure waste?
People here love to grow things. There is always a vegetable garden in the farmyard, where various vegetables and fruits are planted.
Sometimes when Xu's mother comes to the farm, she would complain that it's a waste to leave the land empty and it would be better to plant some corn.
Xu Yang is now thinking about planting something simple.
It happened that in the morning, several college students from the Agricultural University came over to chat with Xu Yang.
When talking about farming, the student named Liu Wu excitedly suggested:
"Owner, you can cooperate with our school to grow forage grass!"
"The forage grass in our school is very good, and we have recently developed a new variety that is even better."
"The forage grasses we have here include ryegrass, alfalfa, chicory, and Dongmu 70. Some of them can be mixed with this."
"Forage grass is very helpful for agricultural production. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, rabbits and so on can all use it."
"If you plant now, a crop will grow in 45 days, and you can harvest it before winter."
I have to say that Liu Wu, as the top sophomore in the College of Agriculture, is quite capable.
Liu Wu has the best grades in their major and he has a lot of ideas.
Moreover, he is not the type who only talks big but does nothing. The land he grows is the best among them.
"grass?"
Xu Yang became somewhat interested.
This is really good.
The income is substantial and the results are quick.
Because there are many people raising cattle and sheep here, there is no shortage of sales.
The ranchers on the prairie make a lot of money every year by selling grass.
In winter, when cattle and sheep have no fresh grass to eat, they need to buy dry grass to store.
Moreover, the forage grass at the Agricultural University is of high-quality variety.
Cooperating with them in planting crops not only yields better varieties, but they will also come to take care of it from time to time.
After all, it is a new variety, and they also hope to statistically observe the condition of the forage.
From this perspective, Xu Yang has vacant land and can cooperate with Nongda University.
"That's a good suggestion. It would be great if we could grow some pasture grass."
"I have a lot of animals on my farm, and they need some fodder."
“If you raise cattle and horses later, it can also be used.”
Xu Yang agreed immediately.
He has strong judgment and action ability.
If something is not certain, you may take your time to consider it.
But if it is decided, he will want to do it immediately.
There is no need to conduct research on the sales of forage grass, as they can sell it all in the village.
The only thing left is to consider the variety and planting time.
A crop of forage grass can mature in as fast as 45 days. If it happens to be the rainy season and there is sufficient soil and fertilizer, the maturity time will be even faster.
"Owner, if you are sure you want to plant it, I will contact our school."
"It's very simple."
"Even seeds are discounted, after all, you are planting together, not just buying."
Liu Wu said again.
The university has relatively sufficient funds. After all, it has tuition fees and government subsidies, so it doesn’t care about the money for seeds.
Some agricultural research institutes, forage research institutions and the like rely on seed breeding for revenue every year, so the seeds are sold at a higher price.
"No problem. I've been thinking about what to grow recently, and the forage grass you mentioned is indeed suitable."
"I'll contact your school. It would be great if we could cooperate."
Xu Yang agreed.
He is also familiar with the tutor at the Agricultural University.
I heard that it was the students who told about the condition of Xuyang's blueberries. Two tutors from the Agricultural University came here to visit Xuyang's greenhouse blueberries and kept praising them.
Unconsciously, his relationship with the Agricultural University became increasingly harmonious.
It would be even better if we could cooperate.
Can help Xu Yang solve many seed problems.
Moreover, not only people in the Agricultural College know him, Xu Yang is even more famous in the College of Animal Science.
On the one hand, Xu Yang was very close to the two leopards, and on the other hand, they had also heard about wild sika deer running to Xu Yang’s farm.
This is unimaginable behavior of a big shot for students in the College of Animal Science who raise rabbits, chinchillas, and lizards.
So, any student from the College of Animal Science who can show up with a little leopard in his arms will definitely be the first in his major and will be admitted to graduate school directly.
The matter of planting pasture grass was finalized.
These pastures are worth growing as they serve the livestock on the farm.
At this time, Wu Kai, a student from the Agricultural University, said to Xu Yang:
"Owner, you can also tell us if there are any diseases on your crops."
"We are currently studying plant pathology. We know everything about black spot and leaf rot."
"It can help."
Before Xu Yang could say anything, several other students immediately responded:
"Okay, okay, can you get 90 points in plant pathology?"
"Come on, the corn you planted has fallen asleep, and you're still treating others?"
Wu Kai felt a little embarrassed and retorted:
"You seem to be growing very good peanuts, but they don't bear any fruit, and your credits this year are not high."
"That's an elective course. It doesn't matter if I fail. As long as I get enough points, it's fine."
"Then the peanuts you planted won't produce any fruit."
Several college students started quarreling.
It's fun to chat with them occasionally.
Anyway, the rainy season is coming soon.
Take advantage of the rain to buy some farm manure and spread it on the ground, and then plant some grass.
With water and fertilizer, the grass will grow absolutely fast.
This is really a good choice.
