Li Shuanzhu finally came, bringing four fellow villagers with him. After arriving at the long-distance bus station, he informed Li Youran via a public phone.
After getting the news, Xiao Xia from the logistics department drove the Jinbei car, and Li Youran sat in the passenger seat, and went to the station to pick up the person.
When I arrived outside the long-distance station, I saw Li Shuanzhu's tall figure from a distance. Several people around him knew each other. Young people from the same village were chatting with each other. There were a bunch of luggage and packages scattered on the ground. Jinbei drove up and Li Youran
Open the door and get out of the car.
"Brother Shuanzhu." He walked over and greeted loudly.
"Ranzi, here we come." Li Shuanzhu's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to greet him.
"You're getting stronger and stronger." He patted Li Youran's arm hard, feeling the force of the rebound, and said with a smile.
"Brother Shuanzhu, you're not bad either. I see you are full of energy." Li Youran looked at him, still wearing the familiar look, wearing a new white short-sleeved shirt.
shirt, with short, energetic hair, and a joyful look between his brows.
"Hey, Ranzi."
"Ranzi."
Several other people also gathered around and greeted Li Youran.
"Shitou'er, Shunzi, Xilin, and Jianping are all here, okay." Li Youran called each other's names one by one, shook hands with them, and patted their shoulders.
The four of them were all overjoyed. After all, Ranzi was well-known in the village, which was admirable.
"Let's go, get in the car, and we'll talk when we get back." Li Youran waved her hand, and Xiao Xia also got out of the car and opened the rear door.
Li Shuanzhu and his companions stuffed their large and small luggage bags into the Jinbei carriage, and then everyone got on the bus one by one.
The car returned to Baozi Shop. Temporary rooms had been arranged on the second floor of the new store, allowing Li Shuanzhu and the five of them to live there until they rented a house in Tonghezi Village before moving there.
That night, two banquet tables were set up in the lobby of the old Baozi Pu shop to welcome Li Shuanzhu and others. The main management staff of Feng Xi Baozi shop were present. Except for Feng Daniu, who had returned to his hometown, and Chef Liu, who was too busy to do anything else, everyone else attended the banquet.
Li Youran stood up, raised his glass and made a speech, saying that he welcomed the new partners. Joining this team is a kind of fate, and he hoped that everyone here would cherish it. Everyone working together to achieve the success of the bun shop and the agricultural products company is the achievement of everyone.
own career.
After the simple congratulations and a drink together, the banquet officially began. Li Youran asked everyone to do it by themselves. We are all our own people, so you are welcome.
In order to prepare these two tables of dishes, Uncle Qi went to the fish pond to catch eight fishes, two pounds of shrimps and a lot of vegetables specially used for the restaurant.
After a long period of practice, Uncle Qi and the few guys in the kitchen have improved their craftsmanship. Although they are not from a major, they can't help but work hard and focus on everything. Just talk about the appearance of these dishes and two or three months.
Compared to the previous one, it doesn't look like it was made by the same group of people.
Li Shuanzhu picked up a piece of shredded cowpea and pork with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and chewed it a few times. The cowpea was crispy and refreshing, and the shredded pork was delicate and juicy, which together formed a fresh and refreshing taste that left people with endless aftertaste.
It's so delicious. Li Shuanzhu didn't expect that the cowpeas here are more delicious than the cowpeas he grew at home using farm fertilizer.
"Ranzi, what kind of cowpeas are these? They taste good." He couldn't help but ask Li Youran who was sitting next to him.
"Brother Shuanzhu, you can taste it. This is the special vegetable I told you last time. It is an optimized new variety provided by a friend of mine from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It has a high technical content." Li Youran edited the vegetables.
Got a reason.
"No wonder, I used to think that the vegetables grown by farmers are the most delicious. Oh, I am so short-sighted." Li Shuanzhu sighed after taking another bite.
"Haha, the seeds of this vegetable are mainly special. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used during planting. Farm fertilizers are also used, which is not inconsistent with what you said. In the future, we will mainly grow this series of vegetables. In addition to cowpeas, there are
There are many varieties of Chinese cabbage, radish, rapeseed, eyebrow beans, and leeks. Here, the vegetables on the table are all samples. Brother Shuanzhu, you can try more." Li Youran introduced.
Li Shuanzhu tasted other dishes in turn and couldn't help but praise them.
Several other companions who ate special vegetables for the first time were also surprised. They also said that high-tech products are powerful and their old ideas need to be changed.
"We need to grow this kind of vegetables in batches for the bun shop and the Si Fang restaurant, so we invited you here. After all, no matter how good the varieties are, they still need people to take care of them carefully, so I have to leave it to you." Li Youran said to you.
The newcomers said.
"Ranzi, don't worry. Just leave the vegetable planting to me for such a good variety. I, Li Shuanzhu, can't do anything else. I can only do this little work in the fields. And they
If they don't work hard, I'll take care of them one by one." Li Shuanzhu said, looking up at his subordinates sitting at another table.
"Brother Shuanzhu, where did you go? We didn't even tell you that you were here with us. This wine is really good." Shitou'er, Shunzi and others quickly expressed their opinions, and then came over to toast Li Shuanzhu and Li Youran. The table is ready for today.
After drinking Tianhai Daqu, people in the village are usually reluctant to drink this.
After a few glasses of wine, everyone began to relax under the influence of alcohol. Huzi, Li Fangcheng and others were already acquainted with each other, so they gathered together to chat and laugh.
Li Youran and Li Shuanzhu chatted while eating vegetables.
"By the way, how is your health?" Li Youran asked.
"Thanks to you, I'm getting better. I stayed in the county hospital for a few days. The doctor checked and said that my condition has stabilized. I just need to go home and take medicine to recuperate. Not to mention, that nano water you sent me is really effective.
After my mother drank it that day, she was finally able to sleep soundly at night, which was not easy." Li Shuanzhu's face showed a look of relief.
"That's good, I'm relieved." Li Youran nodded.
"By the way, I also tried some of that nano water, and it really made my whole body feel comfortable. Good thing, isn't this thing cheap?" Li Shuanzhu asked about the so-called nano water.
"Haha, I actually don't know what the price is. It's useless to ask. But the quantity of that kind of water is very small. It happened to be the same last time. My friend gave me a few barrels and after drinking them, there was no more. I can't help it."
Li Youran said and shook his head.
Li Shuanzhu didn't want to ask too much about the issue of nanowater, and then the two chatted about other household matters.
"Brother Ranzi, you run a steamed bun shop, let's try the steamed buns here." Shunzi requested with a smile.
"Baozi, okay, no problem, Cuihuā, go to the kitchen and get some plates. I want each kind." Li Youran said to Zhao Cuihuā.
Zhao Cui responded with a huā and got up and went to the kitchen. After a while, several large plates of steaming steamed buns were served and placed on two tables respectively.
It was the first time for the newcomers to eat such delicious steamed buns, and they were so addicted. Shunzi said that if he could eat the same kind of food every day, he would not do it even if it were a god. This statement actually aroused the agreement of several other people.
He echoed. "Go, do you still know your last name? These dishes are very rare and cannot be bought in the market. However, I specially brought them out to entertain everyone today, which is enough to give you face. Do you still want to eat them every day? Wait for you all.
Let’s talk about being a manager and acting like a human being.” Li Shuanzhu said with a smile.
Everyone was happy.
When the meal was almost done, several women had left, and Li Youran and Li Shuanzhu also went upstairs. Only the boys were left in the hall still laughing and drinking.
The two came to the office and sat on the sofa. Li Youran poured two glasses of water from the water bottle on the coffee table and handed one to Li Shuanzhu.
"Drink some water first to relieve the hangover. Brother Shuanzhu, let me show you something."
Li Youran said, taking out a small paper bag from the cabinet next to him, opening it and placing it flat on the coffee table. Li Shuanzhu drank the water. The small brown-yellow round grains in the small paper bag caught his attention.
"Are these cabbage seeds?" he asked uncertainly.
After receiving a positive reply, Li Shuanzhu picked up a few cabbage seeds, put them in his hand, and looked at them carefully.
The seeds are large, round and plump in shape, shiny on the surface, and heavy in weight.
"This kind is very good. This is the first time I have seen it. Is it the same variety as the cabbage we had on the dinner table today?" He immediately thought of the impressive vegetables at dinner.
"That's right, it's the same variety. This is the latest scientific research result obtained by our company from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences." Li Youran explained.
"It's a good thing. If the vegetables grown can meet this standard, the market will definitely be in short supply, and the price can be very high." Li Shuanzhu is very optimistic about the prospects of the vegetable base.
Unexpectedly, Li Youran shook his head.
"Brother Shuanzhu, you are wrong about that. I have never planned to bring special vegetables to the market. "Oh, what about you?" Li Shuanzhu was a little doubtful or confused. Do you plan to grow vegetables or not?
Exuding rarity.
"No matter how good the vegetables are, if they are sold directly, the price of the raw materials will be higher than ordinary goods at most, but they are limited. And if the supply is small, the profit will not be high, but if the quantity is large,
, is too eye-catching, it will have a certain impact on the market, and it may cause some trouble. Therefore, my vegetable base currently only plans to supply steamed bun shops and side restaurants, and digest it internally, which can be regarded as deep processing.
We will not consider listing it for sale." Li Youran explained.
In his heart, he doesn't want to start spreading the business right away. After all, his strength is still very weak. If he develops too fast in a short period of time, it won't be a good thing. It's better to take a more steady pace.
Li Shuanzhu frowned and thought for a while, feeling still a little confused. But such a big thing should obviously be considered by Ranzi, and he didn't need to bother.
Li Youran then told him that he had been entrusted with full responsibility for the vegetable base. The main task now was to dig out the wasteland leased by the company, dredge irrigation ditches, etc. The workload was not small.
In addition, ask him to go to the finance office tomorrow morning to collect 60,000 yuan, and purchase any tools, materials, rented farm machinery, etc. he needs on the spot, and then just make a list and submit the financial report later.
Because they are quite far apart, it is not always convenient to contact the logistics department for everything.
It is currently a vegetable field for the time being. We will install vegetable greenhouses for off-season planting before winter this year.
"The vegetable base involves many technical secrets of the company, so we must pay close attention to this. There are also seeds, which must be properly kept, used in batches, and be careful not to leak out. In addition, I would like to remind the people below not to talk too much to the outside world. This is also the company's
system." Li Youran warned.
In fact, the problem of seed outflow is not that serious. Just like the various crop seeds sold by seed companies on the market, if the key breeding techniques are not mastered, the crops will decline from generation to generation.
Li Shuanzhu nodded solemnly. He felt that the burden on him was not easy.
"Brother Shuanzhu, let me tell you a secret in advance. These vegetables grow very fast. Be careful not to be shocked when the time comes. Haha." Li Youran gave the other party a vaccination.
"Ranzi, these things you said today have scared me." Li Shuanzhu also said with a smile.
At this time, Li Youran remembered the vegetable irrigation test done a few days ago. After comparing several sets of samples, it was proved that the ratio of space stream water and ordinary water to 1:3 is the limit. If the ratio is lower than this ratio, the quality of vegetables will begin to decline.
Even so, the amount of water consumed by more than ten acres of vegetable land is still quite large. How to save space and water consumption is an important issue before us.
He raised this issue and asked Li Shuanzhu what skills he had.
Li Shuanzhu thought for a while and said that no one in Lijiagou would consider the issue of water-saving irrigation. The land there was all close to the river, so there was no need to save water.
However, since we are talking about saving water, we should use sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation technologies. Among them, drip irrigation consumes the lowest water, but the cost is relatively high. Of course, I have heard about it, but I have never used it myself.
Li Youran clapped his hands. By the way, how could he forget the drip irrigation technology? I have heard of it before. Drip irrigation is to lay perforated plastic pipes in the field to transport water or fertilizer directly to the roots of crops. Because drip irrigation is local micro-irrigation.
, most of the soil surface remains dry, and the dripper supplies water to the root soil layer evenly and slowly, thus avoiding the volatilization of water in the air and maximizing the purpose of saving water and increasing production. If the normal irrigation is 1:3t,
If drip irrigation equipment is used, it may be able to reach 1:41:5 or even lower.
As for the cost, he doesn't care too much. The crops he wants to grow are high value-added crops, so spending a little money on the facilities is nothing.
Thinking of this, Li Youran asked Li Shuanzhu to go back and rest early. Tomorrow he would go to Tonghezi Village to rent a house and look at land. There were a lot of things waiting to be done.
After Li Shuanzhu left, Li Youran turned on the computer and searched online for relevant information about drip irrigation.
According to the data, the drip irrigation system includes water pumps, water tank filters, control and measurement instruments, piping systems, drippers, etc. It pumps water, filters it, and then sends the water into main pipes and branch pipes at a certain pressure, and then through drip irrigation systems.
The head reaches the soil at the roots of the crop.
At present, the recognized problem of drip irrigation technology is the clogging of drippers. The water in the north is hard, has many impurities, and is easy to scale. Once the pipes and drippers are blocked, it is very troublesome to clear them. Even through a filter, it cannot be completely solved.
However, regarding the quality of the space stream water, the above-mentioned things will never happen. Cooperating with the drip irrigation system will be the most perfect solution.
As for the price, a fixed drip irrigation system generally costs between 600 and 800 yuan per acre, which is within the affordable range.
Okay, just use this, Li Youran made up his mind...
