"Here comes the goose!"

Chef Niu Zhuang brought a large pot of stewed goose to the dining table with a smile on his face.

The employees couldn't wait any longer and stared at the delicious food in the pot.

Xu Yang was also waiting to taste Niu Zhuang's cooking.

The goose stewed in the iron pot is steaming and has a fragrant aroma that whets your appetite just by smelling it.

"smell good!"

"Old Niu has great skills!"

“The food on our farm is really good!”

Everyone praised and waited for Xu Yang to start eating first.

Xu Yang took the bowl, picked up a large piece of goose meat and put it into his mouth.

Niu Zhuang’s cooking skills are really good. The soup is thick and delicious, and tastes very good.

The meat of the goose is very tender. When you chew it, you can feel the juice coming out.

It is not easy to make goose meat delicious. Stewing a big goose in an iron pot uses strong ingredients, which makes the stewed goose particularly flavorful.

The characteristic of Northeastern cuisine is that it emphasizes "hot stew". The stewed dishes are full of fragrance and have a strong sense of home.

"This goose is good. It's OK."

Xu Yang smiled and praised.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to eat.

In addition to the goose stewed in an iron pot, there is also a stewed potato slice and a scrambled egg with green onions.

They are all agricultural products produced on the farm and they taste delicious.

Everyone ate quickly, and soon the whole pot of goose was eaten up.

This meal was very enjoyable.

It is already the end of August and the farm is very busy every day. Often we don’t have enough staff.

Everyone should eat more so that they can work better.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang began to calculate the farm's revenue for this month in his office.

Although the farm can make money, there are many employees after all. Whether it is wages, food expenses, or other expenses, it costs a lot every month.

The operating costs of the farm are still high.

In other words, the crops Xu Yang grows are all targeted at the high-end market, so he makes a lot of money.

Otherwise, ordinary farms would not be able to offer such high wages.

Once he had sorted out the financial situation, he began to think about building the farm.

Xu Yang called several employees over to discuss the matter and hold a "field meeting".

Nowadays, no one likes to hold meetings at work. It is indeed not good to hold meetings frequently, but it is necessary to get together every month to talk about practical things.

Xu Yang asked everyone what suggestions they had for farm development.

By pooling everyone's wisdom, perhaps we can come up with many ideas that he couldn't have thought of.

Wang Wu suggested:
"Director, our farm has contracted the North Mountain, and there is an area on it that can be built. We can build a mountain and water manor."

Wang Wu was obviously influenced by the TV series and thought it would be a good idea to open a villa.

Whether it was Liu Laogen in the past or Qi Tongwei now, didn’t they all run mountain and water manors?

Xu Yang waved his hand and said:
"Be more reliable. A mountain and water manor costs hundreds of millions, and I don't want to deal with so many people. There is no need to invest so much."

Hearing this, Marvin suggested:

"Director, I still suggest planting fruit trees. The mountain behind is so big. If we don't plant fruit trees and only rely on pine cones, it will take at least ten years to get our investment back."

"Or maybe we can open a fish pond in the back hills and raise some fish."

“It’s all good business.”

In fact, what Marvin said is very reliable. This is indeed a good way to make money.

Just have to be careful about someone getting jealous.

Xu Yang thought about it and decided that planting some fruit trees would be a good idea.

In the Northeast, people have nothing else to do, and many of them are thinking about planting and breeding.

So we can plant all kinds of things and raise all kinds of things.

Xu Yang made his living by planting.

The products from his greenhouses are now in short supply. With only ten greenhouses, the produce is not enough to be distributed.

"Okay, this is a good suggestion. There is still a large area of ​​wasteland in Beishan, and I am still thinking about what to plant."

"I want to plant some Schisandra chinensis and jujube."

"But these things are not easy to sell. The mountain product market is full of them. We won't compete with the mountain people for business."

Xu Yang nodded.

As for Schisandra chinensis, there are plenty of them growing wild in the mountains.

Many hikers will look for Schisandra chinensis to sell when they go into the mountains to earn some money to support their livelihood.

There is no need to grab these businesses.

Xu Yang has a lot to consider.

"But fruit trees have to be planted one by one, and it takes a lot of effort for people like us to plant fruit trees."

"We still need to hire someone."

Xu Yang said again.

Hearing his words, Marven pondered for a moment and said:
"You can contact the Agricultural University. Their Agricultural College has nearly 100 students per class."

"100 people together have 10 times more than us."

"Besides, college students can just treat it as a practical course, so it probably won't cost much."

Hearing Ma Wen's words, Xu Yang shook his head and smiled.

Sure enough, college students have the lowest salaries these days.

When he was in college, he also did a lot of odd jobs assigned by the school.

Now his classmates who are studying for a master's degree still work for their supervisor every day.

"Let's talk about this later. Those students are already tired enough. I'd better think of another way."

Xu Yang temporarily refused.

Then, everyone started to discuss it again. Some people suggested raising some ostriches and sika deer, and some suggested growing some vegetables, but Xu Yang felt that they were not very reliable.

After the meeting, he began to digest everyone's suggestions alone.

Although Xu Yang seems careless on weekdays, he is very reliable at critical moments.

The development of the farm needs to be carefully considered.

Xu Yang decided to plant some fruit trees first.

I was worried that people would become jealous of me, but later I felt that I was being overly cautious. There are examples on the Internet, but not all villages are like this.

There are many fruit trees here.

Then Xu Yang was not idle either. He took a walk around to find out what trees people planted and how the harvests were.

This kind of thing requires good research.

People grow all kinds of things.

For example, the harvest of apples, dates, hawthorns, and cherries grown outdoors will definitely not be very good.

Xu Yang sat in the office, sorting out the information about the fruit trees.

Employees occasionally saw him working overtime and knew he was busy.

In this respect, everyone still admires him very much.

Xu Yang is indeed very capable and has many ideas.

"What kind of fruit trees do you think the farm manager will plant?"

Wang Wu and Li Shan chat privately.

"Who knows? I think the probability of apples and dates is a little higher. There are people in the village next to us who rented a mountain to plant fruit trees."

Li Shan thought for a moment and said.

"This is too common. The manager doesn't play by the rules."

“I wonder if they will grow fruits from other regions.”

Wang Wu was quite interested.

Li Shan shook his head. "When planting in the mountains, we have to consider the environment. The climate conditions are like this. We can only grow crops that are suitable for local growth, so we can't grow anything else."

“It’s not a greenhouse.”

What Li Shan said makes sense. There are only a few types of fruit trees suitable for planting on the mountains.

There's nothing new to come out of this.

But Xu Yang has always had an active mind.

He wrote down the names of several fruits on the paper, and finally circled apples and pears with a pen.

He was not planning to grow apples or pears, but apple-pears.

A new product in grafting technology.

"Apple pear is a relatively niche market, and it requires high-level grafting technology after planting."

"What's more, we can definitely cooperate with the Agricultural University on grafting technology."

"I can keep an eye on it myself."

"You can plant a forest of apples and pears."

Xu Yang thought to himself and finally made a plan.

The method of growing apple pears needs to be very clear.

The difficult part is the first step, which is the grafting method, grafting apple tree branches onto the pear tree.

Once the first step has grown out, you can directly use apple pear seeds or branches for planting.

You can also buy apple pear seeds directly online.

But Xu Yang still wanted to do some research on his own.

In particular, through the system, some apple tree seedlings and pear tree seedlings can be extracted.

It depends on the variety of fruit, as different varieties of fruit have different tastes.

If he wants the fruit to taste good, he has to work hard on the varieties.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang contacted his tutor at the Agricultural University.

He contacted Liu Boling, who was researching forage grass cultivation in the Northeast and Inner Mongolia regions and provided high-quality forage grass seeds to these areas every year.

When Liu Boliang heard that Xu Yang wanted to grow apples and pears, he was excited and wanted to carry out the first generation of grafting himself.

He immediately reported this rare practical opportunity to the school.

When the school heard about such a good course, it immediately decided to include it in the students' course schedules for next year and count it as credits.

This is like studying medicine and encountering a good operation, and everyone has one.

It is a great opportunity to improve your skills.

After Xu Yang talked with Liu Boling for two days, Liu Boling told him that as long as the seedlings were ready, the students could start planting them, and this would count for academic credits.

Xu Yang was a little surprised for a moment.

"Does it still count as academic credits? This is too formal."

Upon hearing this, Liu Boliang responded:
“What a great opportunity this is.”

"Grafting and cutting classes in the laboratory are no match for classes in a real environment."

"Let me tell you this, if this class is recorded in its entirety, it will probably become the best class in our school."

“The information will definitely be preserved.”

"As long as you agree to let students go to your orchard to do grafting, we can have in-depth cooperation."

Xu Yang naturally agreed with a smile.

It can be seen that both parties are very satisfied.

Xu Yang provides the venue and the school provides the labor.

You know, planting trees is very expensive, and he doesn't have any machines that can mechanize tree planting. He only relies on farm employees to plant trees, and it is considered good if he can plant more than a dozen trees a day.

This is even without doing any farm work.

If students came, it would be completely different.

After all, college students have more strength.

The two sides hit it off and the deal was settled.

Beishan will usher in a new look. In the Agricultural University, the teacher announced the next year's courses to the students. When the students heard that they would go to the mountain contracted by Xuyang to do the grafting practice class, they were all excited. (End of this chapter)
