Chen Xiaobei thought of planting them in pots. After all, vegetables are worth three cents a pound, but the most important problem with potted plants is space.
Pot after pot, where should I put them?
Nowadays, the living conditions of ordinary people are average, far from the average square meters per capita. If they want to grow potted vegetables, they must build another house, and the costs are very high.
Another issue is lighting.
If only there was plastic film, all problems would be solved.
But plastic is not gunpowder. Gunpowder can be made by yourself alone, but making plastic these days is simply a pipe dream.
Chen Xiaobei felt that he had no clue at all, so he simply left the yard and walked around the village with his hands behind his back.
As I was walking, I saw Chen Daqiang head-on.
Chen Daqiang was pushing a cart to transport food to his home. When he saw Chen Xiaobei, he greeted him warmly.
Chen Xiaobei also responded hurriedly, "How come the crops in the field have been harvested?"
Chen Daqiang nodded, "Yes, our land was harvested earlier than other places."
Chen Xiaobei nodded. He didn't say anything, but he was mumbling in his heart, why is the grain in his own field still green and green, when others have already harvested it.
I also remembered the last time I went to water the Yongye field in spring. It seemed that except for the high temperature there, there was nothing unusual about it.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't restrain his curiosity, so Chen Xiaobei decided to go and see for himself.
Follow the mountain road and bypass the village to the foot of Qingniu Mountain. The foot of the mountain here does not spread as gently as in the north of the village.
The so-called foot of the mountain here is a steep rock wall that goes straight up and down.
The stone wall, which is dozens of feet high, looks more like an insurmountable natural barrier.
What is very magical is that there is a crack in the middle of the stone wall, and a small river flows down from the crack.
Seeing this can't help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
Chen Daqiang's and Chen Dachun's Yongye fields are under this stone wall.
As soon as he stood on this field, Chen Xiaobei immediately felt that his body began to sweat, and the temperature was obviously higher than other places.
After watching it for a while, Chen Xiaobei also understood that this place is roughly equivalent to the southeast corner of the entire Qingniu Mountain.
Because there is a steep rock wall behind, the mountain wind basically passes overhead and cannot reach this land.
Coupled with the obstruction of the mountains, neither the north wind nor the west wind can blow through.
The east wind and south wind are blocked by the villages and trees in the distance, so they rarely affect this place.
To put it bluntly, this place is like an isolated island, which no wind can blow over, which is why this phenomenon is caused. What is even more valuable is that there is water.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, Chen Dachun, who was busy in the distance, also hurried over to say hello to him.
"Brother Xiaobei, why are you here?"
Chen Xiaobei pointed to several village protection team members in the distance, "Brother Dachun, you can't mobilize the village protection team members to work for you without permission."
Chen Dachun chuckled, "The wages are five coppers a day, and the price is clearly marked. We are the captain of the village protection team, so we can't take the lead and break the rules."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, it's good that you know. I saw Brother Daqiang harvesting his crops and came over to take a look. I didn't expect you to harvest so early."
Chen Daqiang glanced at Chen Xiaoben and said to himself, it happens so early every year, but you didn't care before.
"The temperature here is higher than other places, so the dealers naturally close early."
Chen Xiaobei looked at such a large area, and suddenly his mind moved.
"Brother Dachun, when you are done, do you have to wait until next spring to plant crops again?"
Chen Dachun nodded, "Yes, your land will just thaw next year, so I can plant seeds now."
Chen Xiaobei was overjoyed at the time. Just for a while now, he was sweating just standing here. It would be no problem to plant at least two or three more crops of vegetables on this land.
"Brother Dachun, since your land is idle, would you like to plant some vegetables?"
When Chen Dachun heard about growing vegetables, he was naturally overjoyed.
"It's possible to farm, but the three people in my family can't farm the more than ten acres of land I have."
What Chen Dachun said is true. Under the current production conditions, the three of them cannot grow much vegetables.
"Then can you rent your land to the people in the village like this?"
When Dachun heard this, he grinned widely and said, "Okay, okay, whoever wants to rent it can come and rent it."
Chen Xiaobei was also very excited. He returned home happily and told Cui Hongyu about the incident, "Hongyu, I decided to plant two more crops of vegetables in Dachun's land."
"In Dachun, Daqiang and the others have dozens of acres. Even three or two families can't plant it. Anyone who wants to plant it can rent part of the land."
Just as I was saying this, my second aunt Xiumei came.
When she saw Chen Xiaobei, Xiumei smiled so much that she could kill flies in the folds of her face, "Xiaobei, you just came back from Dachun and told me that you wanted to grow vegetables in our land, and that you wanted all the villagers to grow vegetables."
Go plant it.”
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, you also charge some rent, and the young and old men in the village can also earn some income. You kill two birds with one stone."
Unexpectedly, Xiumei sighed slightly, "Xiaobei, if you don't think so, I will rent our land to you at a fixed price. As for how to rent it out, it's up to you.
"
What does this mean? Chen Xiaobei is a little confused.
"Second Aunt, if you have such a good thing, why are you leaving your money without making any profit?"
Xiumei wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Xiaobei knew that there must be something inconvenient for him to say.
Cui Hongyu, who was next to him, immediately smiled and said, "Secondly, it's fine for us to rent it. It won't cost much money, but you have to tell us the truth."
Xiumei laughed awkwardly, "Oh, it's actually nothing. Mainly because I'm afraid of trouble."
"Look, you come to rent me half an acre, and he rents me three cents. Others may rent me only one cent. I rent out dozens of acres of my land. Do you think it's troublesome or not?"
After hearing Xiumei's words, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but scratch his head.
What Xiumei said is also true.
Growing vegetables is not the same as growing crops.
Planting vegetables is very time-sensitive, especially green leafy vegetables, which need to be pulled out and sold in five or six days.
If you delay it for a long time, the green leaves will turn yellow and old, and they will no longer be sold for a price.
Therefore, it is destined that each household cannot plant too much. If one family only plants a little, it will really cause a headache.
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was silent, Xiumei realized that she had said too much and immediately changed her face to a smile, "Oh, actually, if you ask me, you might as well just rent them all. Hire a few people to do the work for two days, which is about the same."
Already."
After speaking affectionately, he patted Cui Hongyu on the shoulder and said, "Hongyu, it's easy for our two families to discuss it."
Say good night, turn around and leave.
Watching him walk away, Cui Hongyu hesitated for a moment, then advised from upstairs, "Husband, if you feel it's inappropriate, just forget about it."
