Chapter 532 Watermelon Production Is Not High

Chapter 532 532. Low watermelon yield

"It's like this," Song Tan explained seriously, "I quit my job and went back to my hometown to farm. I accidentally spent all my parents' savings, so I wanted to grow some cash crops to make some money, so I planted peach trees."

"But my family also loves to eat watermelon, but there is no land... Anyway, when we planted peach trees, we also dug the mountain and turned the soil, so we just planted watermelons here, one land for multiple uses, adapted to local conditions, and extracted the essence of the land..."

In short, the more he talked, the more he made sense.

But the one that made sense more than the words was obviously watermelon!

Professor Song could no longer put on any expression. He just squatted down and pinched the soil with his hands: "Yanran, bring a bag to sample."

Yanran was stunned.

Tang Xiaodong also hesitated and said, "Teacher, aren't we here to do mountain planning?" Soil and water testing and nutrient ratio analysis should not be required, right?

Professor Song: ...

Yes, he forgot about it.

But...

"Have you taken the bag? Put some soil in it first, I'll study it myself when I get back."

The students really didn't bring any.

Whose mountain planning needs to be so detailed as to include soil sampling, right?

Yan Ran touched his pocket and took out a ziplock bag: "I put the battery in this for the camera."

"Okay." Professor Song didn't pick and choose: "Take the ones here today, and let's stay here for a few more days and take a look at the rest."

Just after sealing the bag, he felt something strange again: "It's not right..." His sight spread forward: "Why are your watermelons growing so well? Although they are a little sparse, it seems that the yield is not high, but-"

He stood up and looked around: "But the vines are strong and the leaves are green, and the seedlings are in good condition."

Just then, Wu Lei, who was slacking off and sending messages, turned around from the fence on the other side and saw a group of people. He was stunned and subconsciously put his phone back in his pocket.

"Well... I'm just tired of moving watermelons, so I'm going to take a break..."

After saying that, he became depressed again-it's normal to take a break after being tired! What's guilty about?

Wu Lei himself didn't know why.

It's ok for him to be nervous when seeing cousin Tan Tan, but why is he nervous when seeing this expert from outside?

It's just like meeting a teacher at school.

At this moment, he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Who said the watermelon yield is not high?"

He was exhausted from moving and lifting every day!

"But the yield is indeed a bit low recently. After all, it has been sold for so long - after a while, the small melons will be ready for the second crop, and they can still be sold then."

Professor Song: "...You mean, you are still selling these watermelons?"

"Of course!"

Wu Lei said confidently: "I have such a large watermelon field. If I don't sell the watermelons, how can I eat them all?"

He couldn't help pursing his lips again, thinking that if he squeezed the juice of the uneaten ones and froze them as popsicles, there would be no day when he couldn't eat them all... He had to take a few bites in the coldest days of winter.

But thinking of this, Wu Lei felt even more wronged: "Tan Tan, I am also your cousin. Why can Yan Ping and others go out to travel, but I still have to move watermelons here?"

After working for a month, his back is so stiff, but Lili seems to be angry and has not replied to messages recently. What should I do?

He has not received his salary yet, and now he can't coax anyone.

However, doing farm work here with Song Tan, why did other brothers go out, but he stayed?

Song Tan said confidently: "This is a benefit only for old employees. You just came! And you are going to travel now, do you still want your house?"

Wu Lei:...House, house! Why is it so difficult to buy a house? !

He turned his head angrily and went to the watermelon field farther away.

When Song Tan turned around, she saw Professor Song looking at her with an ambiguous look: "Are all the people working at home your cousins? Your family is quite large, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is also quite good."

The posture of nepotism is fully grasped.

Song Tan thought that it was not the case, but it couldn't be said that he wanted to cheat cheap labor, right? Simply pointed again: "Do you want to go inside and take a look?"

"All the watermelons are planted under the peach trees. Just don't step on them. They are still growing."

"Growing?"

Professor Song snorted in an ambiguous way, "Growing? They are busy giving birth."

It was difficult for him to stay in a good mood. In fact, all the experience of the past few decades was overturned today, and the elderly could not bear this blow.

Qi Lin looked at the watermelons in the field seriously, and several people whispered to each other:

"I remember Yu Le in our class. Isn't his project about watermelons? Why does it seem that he needs sandy land and sufficient light... It is said that the higher the light, the sweeter it is..."

"Yes."

Yan Ran also muttered: "This is not sandy land, just ordinary mud."

There must be light, but there are so many peach trees, it is definitely far worse than the open air.

Professor Song walked by and listened to the students mumbling, and he felt more and more sad at this time.

He finally sighed: "Forget it, I won't look at it anymore. I'll wait for soil sampling later - take pictures."

After saying this, everyone quickly prepared the drone.

The drone buzzed, and Professor Song asked again: "What do you use for watering?"

Watering?

Song Tan took them two steps forward and stood on a high place to look: "The water in the pond at the bottom is pumped up - but it's usually not needed. There should be a water source under our mountain, and it's quite moist. After planting, it's basically natural."

After saying this, countless growers had to kneel down and cry in her peach orchard.

Professor Song simply stopped asking and turned around and walked outside: "Isn't it also covering the barren mountain? Let's go and have a look at the barren mountain. How big is the area?"

Song Tan smiled modestly: "I wrapped the inside and outside of the big bowl in front of you."

Professor Song was used to seeing scenes, so he didn’t have much impression of this place. He just made a brief comment:

"It's not bad. Around the pond, the soil should be very close, and it's easy to manage. And it's all in one place, so it's more centralized when viewed together."

"It's just that if you want to hire people to work at that time, you have to make a special place for workers to rest."

Professor Song was very thoughtful: "With such a large area, you can't invite all the people from the same village, right? There must be a place for people to rest - you don't want to bring all the work home to do, right?"

Song Tan had indeed found a soulmate at this moment: "Professor Song, you are so knowledgeable! That's what I meant!"

"Our family also makes chili sauce and processes medicinal materials. The three old people in the corner you asked about this afternoon were doing the work of processing the golden cherry trees in the chestnut orchard."

"When we expand the scale next year, we will definitely invite more people. No matter how big my yard is, I can't squeeze it in."

Professor Song:......

He smiled: "It's okay. Basically, any family farm needs to plan a building land - but you have to apply. If you want to build a building on agricultural and forestry land, it can't be done without approval."

Song Tan thought of Xiaozhu Party Secretary again.

With her here, to be honest, Song Tan had never worried about going through the formalities.

At this mention, she made a decision almost instantly - if these late-ripening peaches were edible, she would have to bring two more boxes to Party Secretary Xiao Zhu!

I changed my typo and nodded... I couldn't bear it anymore. There is one update left that has not been modified yet. I will update it again when I wake up tomorrow...
