"How much does a load of fertilizer cost?" Erya's father, Yuan Jiaotian, took the opportunity to ask.
His question stumped both Shen Aizhi and Shen Changlin. If the price of a village is too high, these people will definitely talk about it behind their backs. If it is cheaper, they will suffer a loss. When it was time to respond, Shen Chi said: " From a village, asking for money would be too hurtful."
As soon as he said this, Yuan Jiaotian, Yuan Jiaowu and others were all united. However, Shen Chi's next words changed their expressions: "Why don't you exchange thirty kilograms of salvia for one load."
Everyone cursed in their hearts when they heard that, instead of salvia, it would be better to just buy it with money. If you buy it with money, you can stay at ease.
"Thirty kilograms of salvia is a bit expensive to exchange for a load." Yuan Jiaoda calculated the account and said: "Now the salvia has risen to fifty cents per kilogram. Thirty kilograms of salvia costs fifteen yuan. It's better to take this much money. Go buy fertilizer."
"Uncle Jiao Da, when using salvia miltiorrhiza as a medicinal material, what matters is its efficacy. What if the chemical fertilizer does not achieve the medicinal effect and cannot be sold? Have you ever thought about it?" Shen Chi retorted: "My medicinal fertilizer is recorded in ancient books. Yes, it is green organic fertilizer, and you have seen the effect in my ginseng garden.
In addition, I also spend money to buy the materials for preparing pharmaceutical fertilizers. Fermentation alone takes three months. The concentration is high. One load of pharmaceutical fertilizer mixed with water can water an acre of land. The effect is much better than chemical fertilizers. Please consider it carefully. Consider it."
After hearing this, everyone silently considered it in their hearts, and quite agreed with Shen Chi's statement.
"I don't have time to go up the mountain to dig ginseng, so just spend money to buy it." Yuan Jiaotian said proudly.
Nowadays, except for the old people who can't walk, the people in Yuanjia Village who have good legs and feet are selling their clothes to Shen Aizhi, and their wallets are warm. It is a waste of time for them to go up the mountain to dig salvia.
There are also those who are reluctant to spend money and plan to send their children to dig ginseng in the mountains when they return home.
Those who mainly sell clothes, such as Yuan Jiaotian, spend money directly to save trouble, so they immediately spend money to buy medicine and fertilizer from Shen Chi's family.
"Uncles, you want us to have no fertilizer to sell now. We have to use the little fertilizer in the pond ourselves. If you want to buy it, you will have to wait at least a month." Shen Chi said with a smile.
It's a seller's market now, so we can only rely on Shen Chi, and whatever he says will be whatever he says.
After sending everyone away, Shen Chi discussed with his father the expansion of the fertilizing pond.
This is also the reason why Shen Chi plans to start selling medicinal fertilizers in a month, because the current retting ponds are simply not enough to sell.
Moreover, the current fertilizing tank produces only 21 kilograms of spiritual fertilizer a day. When the whole village comes to buy it, the medicinal fertilizer diluted from these 21 kilograms of spiritual fertilizer will definitely not be available, and the level of the retting pond will have to be improved. Lift Lift.
A load of fertilizer cost fifteen yuan, which was another extra income. Shen Changlin didn't say anything. He first emptied the pond of fertilizer so that he could expand the pond.
Shen Changlin was always quick at work. It took him three days to expand the composting pond into a new pond three meters long, three meters wide and one and a half meters deep. Bluestones were also built around and at the bottom. I specially bought a prefabricated board to cover it, leaving only a small opening two feet wide in the middle for scooping fertilizer and adding materials.
After the pond was built, Shen Changlin immediately went to the county town to buy a lot of bones and medicinal materials to make fertilizer. Before going to bed at night, Shen Chi secretly used all the more than 400,000 spiritual energy he had saved for several months to improve the pond.
Although more than 400,000 spiritual energy sounds like a lot, in fact it is only enough to upgrade it to two levels. The output of 23 kilograms per day is not enough. Now we can only wait for those who are reluctant to spend money and exchange salvia for salvia. coming.
After a few days, people sent salvias one after another. Under Shen Chi's instructions, Shen Changlin accepted all the salvias, weighed them and recorded them. When he came to buy fertilizer, he would pay according to the registration number. Quantity deduction.
So Shen Chi had one more thing to do after school every day, which was to refine the salvia sent by these villagers.
Shen Chi did not dare to extract all the essence at once, otherwise the salvia miltiorrhiza would suddenly become dry due to the loss of the essence. He extracted a small part every day. After a week, it would be as if the salvia miltiorrhiza had been dried naturally, which would not easily cause acne. Chang Lin's suspicion.
When the essence of the salvia miltiorrhiza was almost refined, Shen Chi pretended to slice the salvia miltiorrhiza into slices and then put it into the medicinal ingredients to cook together.
Ever since Shen Changlin was buying various bone medicinal materials to make medicinal fertilizers, people from Yuanjia Village would come to visit with excuses from time to time, just to see how Shen Changlin cooked them.
But seeing that the things he put there were no different from what he said, these people looked at them for a while and then left.
At this time, Erya's father, Yuan Jiaotian, suddenly turned back and hid quietly behind the pig pen at Shen Chi's house, looking in through the gap.
Yuan Jiaoda and Yuan Jiaowu also didn't believe what Shen Changlin said, so they turned back and hid aside.
"How can you tell what the secret is?" Yuan Jiaowu asked Yuan Jiaotian in a low voice.
"I saw him boiling medicine." Yuan Jiaotian paused and continued: "By the way, now let's put the offal of chickens, ducks and other poultry."
"Could the problem lie in those medicinal materials?" Yuan Jiaowu couldn't help but wonder after hearing that what Yuan Jiaotian said was similar to what he prepared.
"I think the medicinal materials are the same as what Shen Changlin said. He didn't lie to us." Yuan Jiaotian watched closely as Shen Changlin poured the medicinal materials into the pot. The medicinal materials were the same as what he had seen before, and Shen Changlin did not. What other new things have been added.
"That's strange. The other formulas are the same. Why can't the effect of our medicated fertilizer catch up with his?" Yuan Jiaoda also said strangely.
At this time, Shen Changlin asked Shen Chi to help look after the stove fire, while he went to the garden to collect the chicken manure and poured it into the composting pond.
Yuan Jiaotian immediately exclaimed in a low voice as if he had discovered something: "I know where the problem lies!"
"What did you find?" Yuan Jiaoda and Yuan Jiaowu asked in unison.
"It's chicken manure! I saw Shen Changlin pouring the collected chicken manure into the fertilization pond." Yuan Jiaotian replied.
"I asked why our results are not as good as his. What a good Shen Laoer, he really kept a secret with us." Yuan Jiaowu said coldly.
"Is the reason really just because of this?" Yuan Jioda was a little doubtful.
Just then, the pigs in Shen Chi's pig pen were screaming with hunger. Yuan Jiao drew inferences: "There must be pig manure, otherwise why would his family raise so many pigs?"
"Yes, the reason must be here." Yuan Jiaotian seemed to have discovered the New World, and he echoed.
"But we don't have that many chickens. Where can we get chicken and pig manure?" Yuan Jiaoda said sadly.
"Don't we have the entire Yuanjia Village ourselves? Wouldn't we all collect our own chicken and pig manure? Could it be that so many of our Yuan family can't defeat a migrant named Shen?" Yuan Jiaowu I immediately had an idea in my mind.
"Yes, let's go back and collect pig manure and chicken manure!" Yuan Jiaotian also agreed. This chapter has been completed!
