Chapter 168 168 Choosing Watermelon Seedlings

Chapter 168 168. Buying Watermelon Seedlings

The three people soaked their feet in ginger, and they were all warm, but Song Youde and Song Sancheng's hearts were even warmer.

It was because there were two new tricycles in the yard, which made it hard for them not to be tempted!

Even Old Man Li did not leave, but sat aside waiting with relish.

Only the seventh cousin who was preparing to prepare dinner snorted coldly:

"You can't pick up leftovers in the doghouse! It's not dark yet, it would be great to go do some work, why do you have to show off that you have a car."

They are all brothers from the same family, and the seventh cousin has always been like this, and everyone is used to it.

Song Youde raised his beard:

"What do you know? This is my granddaughter's gift to me! Besides, there's not much work to do recently..."

"Ha!"

Seventh cousin also sneered: "I heard you say last night that you want to interplant watermelons in the peach forest. Where are the watermelon seedlings?"

"You also said that you want to plant golden cherries on the edge. Where are the golden cherries?"

"You also said that you want to plant a few more loofahs and pumpkins in the corners over there. Have they been planted?"

"Didn't you say that you want to pick white fungus today? Where is the white fungus?"

He has prepared the rock sugar lily and dried lotus seeds, but he hasn't seen a piece of white fungus after waiting for a whole day!

Song Sancheng was a little unconvinced by this: "Uncle, there are farm work every day, so why don't we take a break? Right, my girl?"

What can Song Tan say?

On one side is the arrogant chef, and on the other side is the real father and grandfather.

She simply got back into the car:

"Well, Brother Yanping, you watch them practice driving, don't drive on those ditches and bumps. I'll go to town to check on the watermelon seedlings. I just heard from the courier this morning that someone is selling them."

Zhang Yanping hurriedly shouted: "Don't look in town! I know a shop selling seedlings. They use pumpkin seedlings to graft watermelons, unicorn melons, stone crack melons, and seedless melons. They all grow big and sweet!"

"No, no."

Song Tan also started the car: "I just like the old variety of flower-skinned watermelons. I grow them at home. I'm not picky about these."

It's not that grafted ones are bad. Grafted ones must have advantages in nutrient transport and growth, but the problem is that her spiritual energy is thin, and her agricultural experience is all native species. It's better to be conservative now.

Zhang Yanping is not as good at farming as her!

At this moment, he just nodded pretentiously: "Jin Yingzi has also heard the news. Maybe it will be shipped in two days. Don't worry."

Song Tan is not in a hurry.

It's good to have an alternating period for planting, so that it can continue to bloom and let the bees eat more.

She said she wanted to go and see the watermelon seedlings, which was true.

The more diligent people started sowing early melons in March. She waited until early April. If she wanted to catch the early melons on the market, she had to choose other people's finished seedlings.

Fortunately, it was not far from the town. In recent years, large tracts of farmland have been built with greenhouses and seedling bases. Now it's easy to pick some popular seedlings.

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon. By the time she comes back after picking the seedlings, her father and grandfather's driving skills will have been practiced.

It just so happened that everyone went up the mountain to plant watermelon seedlings when the sun was not so hot.

The land was plowed when the peach trees were planted. Now they just need to dig holes and plant them. After all, there is spiritual energy and extensive management, which is simple.

Driving from home to the town is much closer than the city. In just over 20 minutes, the car has arrived at the greenhouse agreed in advance.

The weather is just right now, and several greenhouses have rolled up plastic film to allow the plants to ventilate and keep the light.

Entering the greenhouse, I saw that it was full of green, not to mention how pleasing it was.

"You want to buy watermelon seedlings?"

The dark-skinned uncle who came in could not help but be stunned when he saw Song Tan, and then he leaned over to look behind her, and finally dared to determine that the person who was going to plant the land in front of him was this beautiful girl with white skin.

Song Tan nodded:

"Yes, I am from Yunqiao Village. My family rented an orchard this year, and I want to interplant some watermelons in the orchard."

"Oh," the boss came back to his senses: "I know Yunqiao Village. You want to interplant in the orchard? Then the seedlings you use for this acre of land will be much less than usual. You pick them first, come, take a look at the seedlings first."

The boss took her into the greenhouse next door with familiarity: "We are all fellow villagers, I won't cheat you, if you have anything, just come here to find me, I can run, and my greenhouse can't run. If you plant well, you can come again next year."

Song Tan nodded.

She knew what the boss meant, and it was to let her buy with confidence and give her a verbal guarantee.

Although some people choose to cheat others, most of the time, if you want to do local business for a long time, you care about word of mouth.

"Why does this seedling look a little weak?"

Word of mouth is word of mouth, and reality is reality. Song Tan did not hesitate to ask questions.

The boss was honest: "This is an early-maturing seedling, the fruit is not big, and it can be sold in late May or early June."

"Don't look at this seedling as a little thin and weak, it's just like this, not a problem with the seedling. Go back and plant it and try it. Keep one vine for each plant, and the fruit will definitely be sweet. I won't lie to you."

"Normally, one acre of land can grow a thousand seedlings like this. But if you want to interplant, then it's eight hundred, it's up to you."

"But if you want to plant more sparsely, you can't choose such a small seedling. You have to choose another variety and a stronger seedling."

He turned right and entered another greenhouse: "Look, this mid-maturing one will be a month later than the previous one, but you can keep two vines for each melon, and it's no problem for one melon to produce two or three fruits."

"If you want to interplant this with fruit trees, you can only plant 300 to 500 trees per acre, no more. Its vines are too strong and take up space."

"There are better ones, but this one, I tell you the truth, girl, few people buy this seedling now."

Why?

The watermelons it produces are too big.

"Nowadays, there are only two, three or four people in a family. A melon that is too big cannot be eaten in one go. It is difficult to fill the refrigerator. Generally, it does not sell as well as small watermelons."

This is true. Song Tan was also reluctant to buy such a big melon. Because it is really too big, each one looks like a big winter melon.

If you put the winter melon in the supermarket, you only buy one circle at a time for cooking. You can imagine how many people will need to eat this watermelon?

In his big family now, it can be digested, but the problem is that it is not convenient to sell it outside.

She turned her head without hesitation: "Are the melons produced by your smallest seedling also a little smaller?"

"Yes," the boss also told the truth.

"If you sell early melons, choose small seedlings. I'm not lying to you. Look at how expensive watermelons are when they are first put on the market! It's hard to sell a big one, but they have to be so small."

"When the weather gets a little warmer, you can sell these slightly later varieties. They are bigger, cheaper, and you won't feel bad eating them."

He talked about his own experience, and Song Tan listened carefully.

Look at it now. Those who sell melon seedlings have to understand the market first. I'm really learning every day.

Nowadays, large-scale planting does not use watermelon seedlings grafted with pumpkin seedlings.

Big watermelons are really hard to consume.

The day of the monthly tribulation has come. I'll go to bed early today and try to make up for it with three updates tomorrow.

Although the update this month is a little late, the number of words is actually enough...just missing Concubine Wan.
