How can the beauty of the time change and remain? Orchids change and become less fragrant, and grasshoppers turn into grass.
——Qu Yuan
Fortunately, the transportation from the town to the town is relatively convenient. Liu Hai arrived at the county seat at half past ten. Although the entire county is very poor, the county seat is still prosperous. The county seat is located at the junction of two national highways in the central and southern part of the country.
It is a distribution center for small commodities in central and southern China. There are not many merchants traveling from north to south. Therefore, there are many large and small restaurants and hotels.
Liu Hai was walking on the street, looking at the large and small restaurants, and thinking to himself, maybe he could sell the space-optimized chili peppers to these restaurants!
After walking several streets, Liu Hai finally discovered Xinhua Bookstore.
The bookstore is not small, but Liu Hai is disappointed that there are too few books on planting. And there is only one book on seed cultivation. Fortunately, Liu Hai found the only book on seed cultivation.
Knowledge about pepper seed cultivation! Liu Hai looked at the price at the back of the book - 22 yuan!
Liu Hai shook his head and quickly memorized the whole process carefully. After confirming again and again that he had memorized it, Liu Hai put down the book under the sharp eyes of the waiter and walked out of the bookstore calmly.
Time always passes by inadvertently. When Liu Hai walked out of Xinhua Bookstore, the sun was already setting in the west. Liu Hai didn't have a watch, but he guessed it was around two o'clock in the afternoon.
After finishing the work and feeling relieved, Liu Hai felt that his stomach was already growling with hunger, and he thought about finding a small restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles to deal with it.
"Ah-ah!"
There was a sharp female voice, followed by a honest male voice: "Hey - boy, why are you leaving? Don't you have eyes?!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something, I'm really sorry."
Liu Hai hurriedly apologized, and he really blamed himself. After writing down the knowledge about pepper seed cultivation, Liu Hai found that he now wanted to cultivate optimized peppers, but he still faced many problems!
For example, temperature environment and seasonal climate are the biggest issues!
It’s easy to raise pepper seedlings. Although the general breeding is in spring, it has already passed. But Liu Hai’s hometown is in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. It has a temperate hilly climate. The summer temperature is generally between 20 degrees and 30 degrees. It is also suitable to cultivate pepper seeds!
After the short pepper seedling cultivation period, the pepper tree cultivation period will be very demanding if you want to plant it in a large area! If you want high yield, you must control the temperature difference between day and night in the pepper field!
The optimal temperature for pepper cultivation is 25 to 30 degrees during the day, and the optimal temperature at night is 15 to 18 degrees!
The book also proposes a solution! That is - greenhouse cultivation!
Greenhouse planting is naturally good, but the cost of building a greenhouse is such that even if Liu Hai doesn’t know the price of materials, he knows that his family doesn’t have the ability to do so.
While he was lowering his head and thinking about this, he didn't pay much attention when walking, and accidentally stepped on a woman's foot.
In other words, some things are fate, and some things are destined.
This woman looks very fashionable. She is in her thirties and has a beautiful appearance. She is dressed in a professional attire that is rare in the county town, which highlights her charming and curvy figure. She is extremely charming. When she raised her bangs and saw her, she was very stunning at the first sight!
"What a charming woman!"
Although the man next to him has a nicer voice and looks very bookish, he wears suits and leather shoes and looks like a secretary.
Liu Hai kept apologizing, but the man in his twenties was unyielding and kept asking stern questions.
"Don't you, a kid, walk without eyes? -"
"Forget it, Xiao Li, the time for the meeting is coming soon. He didn't mean it. Let's go!"
The woman's voice is not loud, but she has an undeniable momentum!
"Yes, yes."
Although Liu Hai is a high school graduate with little experience, listening to the conversation between the two, it can still be concluded that the two must have a superior-subordinate relationship.
Looking at the beauty who was gradually going away, Liu Hai muttered: "Oh - I guess she is an official."
The incident happened in front of a small noodle shop.
Liu Hai ordered a bowl of alkaline noodles that cost two yuan at a noodle shop. The little incident just now did not affect Liu Hai's mood for eating.
After eating the noodles, Liu Hai went directly to the largest vegetable market in the county to learn about the market for chili peppers.
People in Hunan Province love to eat chili peppers and know how to eat them. In Hunan Province, chili peppers are as indispensable as rice! Their status is extremely high!
During the Anti-Japanese War, Taizu said that he could abstain from eating meat all year round, but he could not avoid eating chili peppers for one meal!
It's better than Liu Hai expected. The market for chili peppers has been good in recent years. Although the price is not high, a pound of ordinary green chili peppers only costs 50 or 60 cents. Fortunately, the market is huge, so the vendors at the vegetable market are not worried about not being able to sell them.
The dish is chili!
After inquiring about the market price of chili peppers, Liu Hai was ready to go home.
Just when Liu Hai was about to walk out of the vegetable market, he suddenly heard someone talking about orchids.
They were two young men in blue overalls, complaining about something as they walked.
"Oh, our boss suffered a big loss this time. If such a batch of orchids were all destroyed, we would have to pay 18,000 yuan!"
"Yes! These are the seedlings that the boss imported from neighboring provinces, and the price is not low. If they are successfully cultivated, the worst ones will cost more than ten yuan per plant!"
"Yes! I'm afraid there are three to four hundred plants in this batch of diseases! I heard that this is the biggest loss since Baihuaju opened its doors. I haven't seen the cowardly look on the boss's face recently. Haha, it's really ugly!
"
"You are looking for death. If you dare to speak ill of the boss at the door, I will fire you!"
"Hey -, it's okay, he can't hear it. Let's go quickly and go to the breeding base. After we get rid of all the dead flowers, it will be dark! Hurry up! Oh - bully us as newcomers
, arrange for us to do the hardest and most tiring work! Alas—"
"Is there any way to tell us that we are newcomers? Let's go - let's go -"
Liu Hai raised his head and looked around. Sure enough, there was a very large flower shop 20 to 30 meters away from the entrance of the vegetable market. The name of the shop was exactly what the two people called "Baihuaju"!
An orchid costing more than ten yuan a plant? Are you going to die of illness?
Liu Hai knew that many flowers in the world were very expensive. I remember that on Teachers' Day last year, the class leader spent dozens of dollars in class fees to buy a bouquet of flowers for each teacher.
At that time, Liu Hai was stunned by the astonishing price of seven or eight yuan for a bouquet of flowers!
From what the staff at the two flower shops just said, it seems that these orchids are more expensive than the bunches of flowers! In fact, the worst ones cost more than ten yuan each!
Suddenly remembering the role of his mysterious space soil, Liu Hai's heart moved! He quickly ran in the direction of the two of them!
