Chapter 159 Vegetable field construction and freshly packaged fish feed
It has been a week since Li Shuanzhu and others settled in Tonghezi Village. This morning, Li Jianran drove to the vegetable base to inspect the situation.
After arriving at his destination, he parked the car on the side of the road, got out and jumped over the ditch.
Looking around, we can see that the wasteland where weeds regenerated in the past is completely different. The sixteen acres of land have been divided into a number of neat fields. The fields are flat and clean, with almost no weeds or bricks and tiles. You can pick up a field with your hands.
Put the soil into the soil. The soil is soft, the particles are fine, and there are no lumps. When you loosen your palm, it will slide off.
This work is very detailed and efficient. You need to ask Li Shuanzhu carefully.
Li Youran walked along the field ridge and saw that more than half of the silt deposited in the irrigation ditches beside the fields had been cleared away. It seemed that the entire line would be dredged soon.
In front of the place where the reservoir is planned to be dug, there is a large pile of red bricks. Beside the pile of bricks, two people are mixing cement mortar on the pad. After mixing, they put it into the ash bucket and lift the rope on the handle of the bucket to send it down.
Seeing Li Youran coming, he quickly said hello.
Li Youran smiled and nodded in response. When he got closer, he saw that the pool had been dug out. It was quite deep, about 1.8 meters. Li Shuanzhu was wearing shorts and a vest, barefoot, and was leading people to build bricks on the wall of the pool.
When Li Shuanzhu knew that his boss was coming, he handed over the work, put down his gray knife, and walked up the temporary brick steps to the ground.
"Ranzi, come and take a look." He said to Li Youran.
"Brother Shuanzhu, thank you for your hard work. You are so efficient in your work. It only took a week to make it look like this." Li Youran praised.
"Haha, of course, you think too highly of us. It's all thanks to the machine. If we had the five of us and five shovels, we wouldn't be able to work until the end of the year." Li Shuanzhu said while wiping with a wet towel.
A lot of sweat.
"Oh, does this realize agricultural automation?" Li Youran asked with interest.
"Yeah, you think we are still as backward as our Lijiagou. Tonghezi Village has not seen a single working animal for a long time. They are all farm machinery. No, we rented a cultivator and a rake.
It only took two days for the rake machine to finish the work. Especially this rake machine, it only took three passes to break the soil into such fine pieces, which is very impressive." Li Shuanzhu said with emotion.
Li Youran nodded, this is the power of scientific and technological progress. Needless to say, the reservoir must also be the result of the excavator and ramming machine, otherwise it would never be so fast. He had already explained to Li Shuanzhu before that it is the fastest and easiest to adopt.
The company is not afraid of spending this amount of money. It seems to have been implemented very well.
Then, Li Shuanzhu told him that farmyard fertilizer had been applied to the field as required, and he would be ready to sow seeds in the selected nursery fields in the next two days.
As for irrigation ditches, they can only be dredged manually at present, so it is a bit slow.
Li Youran said there was no need to be too anxious and it was better to be more cautious. He also asked them if they were used to their living habits.
"We are all villagers. How can we be so picky? There is a kitchen in the place where we live. We take turns buying vegetables and cooking. But this Tonghezi Village is so developed that it makes us dizzy." Li Shuanzhu mentioned this and was filled with envy.
Li Youran felt the same way about this. They were both in rural areas, but the difference was as huge as the difference between urban and rural areas in the past.
The two continued chatting for a while, and Li Youran said that he would be notified immediately after the reservoir was built, and then the seedlings would be raised. At this point, he asked Li Shuanzhu to go back to the parking place with him, open the trunk and take out the seedlings.
A nylon carry bag.
"These are special vegetable seeds. They are all classified and labeled. You scoop them back and keep them properly."
Li Shuanzhu took the nylon bag and looked inside, seeing that they were all small brown paper bags.
He nodded and reassured Li Youran that he would take good care of it.
Li Youran encouraged him a few more words, then said goodbye to the vegetable fields and drove back to the city.

Regarding the new pellet fish feed for ornamental fish, after trials in the aquarium store and good reviews from some old customers and Lao Wang next door, Fatty Luo felt that it was very promising. He discussed with Uncle Qi to have Baozipu Kitchen produce it in small batches and conduct separate cost accounting.
.
Because it was not very troublesome to do, it was just a matter of changing the dough cakes into pellet feed, and the raw materials were still the same, so Uncle Qi agreed.
After the first batch of pellet feed came out, Fatty Luo contacted a small packaging factory to send the feed to be packaged in bags.
Two days later, a carton was delivered to the Fire Dragon Aquarium Store by a courier. After Li Fangcheng signed for it, he cut open the carton with a paper knife and opened it. Inside was a small plastic bag stuffed full of stuff.
"What is this?" Hu Yi asked.
"Brother Fatty told me, it's newly packaged fish food." Li Fangcheng said as he pulled out a bag from the carton. The basic color of the bag was red and yellow, with a beautiful golden arowana pattern and "Fire Dragon" printed on it.
There are two big characters, and the small characters next to them are also marked as "for large ornamental fish only".
"Wow, it's so beautiful. It looks much better than the original dough pancakes. This makes it look professional. Oh, this bag is marked with medium feed." Huzi said in admiration.
"There are three models: large, medium and small. The smallest one can be used to feed red lotus lanterns." Li Fangcheng explained to Huzi.
While the two were talking, Lao Wang strolled over. When he saw the newly packaged fish feed, he quickly picked up a bag and looked at it carefully.
"That's right, it looks high-end. Today's products are all about packaging. No matter how good the product is, it won't sell for a good price if it doesn't look good in packaging." Lao Wang nodded and said, seeming quite satisfied.
"We don't care about this in the countryside. We want to get the best deal for everything." Huzi touched the fancy packaging bag and thought of the things sold in his hometown village, such as braised pig ears and the like, which were wrapped in oil paper.
"Haha, this is a question of consumerism. In fact, this fish food is really nothing. Speaking of packaging, the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival every year are amazing. They are a big box of forty to fifty centimeters, with many layers inside.
It was covered with silk, but actually only contained five or six small mooncakes. After a few bites, they were all gone. It was just to give a nice gift. Take a look after the festival. The packaging boxes around the trash can were piled up like a hill.
, it’s just cheaper to pick up tatters." Lao Wang said with sigh as he shook his big cattail leaf fan.
"Actually, this is not entirely a bad thing. Mooncake packaging boxes have created profits for many upstream companies and stimulated the market." Li Fangcheng began to show off what he had recently learned.
"It's not easy. Xiao Li has made great progress in studying. Haha." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"I know, we can also sell fish. If the customer buys the fish home, the fish will turn inside out, and the customer will come back to buy again. That can create a lot of chicken land." Huzi has not yet attended the training class, but he has learned a lot.
It's also unambiguous.
The arguments of the two young economists made Lao Wang so amused that he was happy to be with young people.
"However, we still use the simple version." Li Fangcheng said, scooping out a large bag of pellet fish feed from the counter and placing it on the counter.
Lao Wang's eyes lit up, he scooped up the bag, smelled it, and was very satisfied. Next, Lao Wang asked to buy a batch of new simple-packaged fish food. Li Fangcheng naturally agreed and calculated the wholesale price for him.
