By the time Jiang Tu had his fill, he had already gathered 103 chicks, 35 ducks, and 16 geese.
He was also carrying a pile of messy seeds in his hands.
He now understood the joy of shopping for girls.
He stretched his limbs and looked at the chicken, duckling, and goose on the backseat mat. They were fluffy and their cries were soft. They were not just a little cute.
Next, he had to make a trip to the agricultural resources station and the animal husbandry station.
The person in charge of the agricultural resources station was straightforward. After he reported the number of acres and made his request, bags of seeds were carried to the back seat of the car one after another.
The person in charge looked at him for a long time. He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.
Jiang Tu looked at him in confusion.
The manager cleared his throat as if he had finally made up his mind. He said,"Young man, I see that you are preparing to plant grass, right?”
"Yes." Jiang Tu didn't understand. He had already moved the seeds into the car, so of course he had to plant them.
"I have a batch of the latest pasture seeds provided by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Are you willing to try it out?”
Jiang Tu was speechless.
"It's like this." The person in charge turned around and pulled out a red A4 paper from under the scale.
There was some information about the new species.
Basically, if farmers were willing to cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to plant the latest varieties of crops, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences would not charge a single cent for the seeds and would even send experts to provide one-on-one remote guidance.
The government even had subsidies to support them.
However, farmers were required to plant the crops for the full duration of harvesting from the sowing belt and record the growth, diseases, and yield per mu of the crops.
If the farmer breached the contract, he had to compensate the Academy of Agricultural Sciences twice the amount of money for the seeds.
"I have no choice." The manager sighed." There are always all kinds of instability in new varieties. It's also difficult to promote them.”
"In the beginning, when the contract was not signed, there would always be people who swindled the subsidies and planted the corn.”
Especially grass.
In their eyes, it was a very precious feed for cattle and sheep.
In the eyes of the older generation, they were weeds. Who would plant grass properly?
"I understand." Jiang Tu expressed his understanding.
If he didn't come back to open a farm or go to the farm base station, he wouldn't have known that there were so many kinds of agricultural machinery with so many functions.
If a good thing could not be promoted, it would be no different from not existing.
"However, my family's land isn't any good. It's all mined from some mountains and wasteland.”He felt that this new crop should be planted in fertile fields.
This point had to be made clear.
What if he did not meet the requirements?
"It's okay. He wanted to see them all, so he let them grow it for free.”When the person-in-charge heard that there was a chance, he quickly went to the shelf behind him and pulled it open.
He remembered that the contract was placed here.
This matter was indeed easier to communicate with young people.
Unfortunately, in the past few years, most of the people who came to buy seeds were over fifty years old.
"The grass we recommend this year is called Oriental Cichorium. It tastes sweeter than usual and has high nutritional value. It was easy to manage. It was said that one year of planting could be harvested for eight years.”
Eight years?
"This contract won't last for eight years, right?”Jiang Tu's eyes widened. He warned himself to read the contract carefully when he received it later.
Eight years, how many eight years could there be in a person's life?
What if he opened a farm and ended up making snacks?
"No, no." The person in charge quickly waved his hand.
"The contract with Cichory is three years. What happens after that is up to you.”
Jiang Tu heaved a sigh of relief.
The person-in-charge rolled his eyes at him. He wanted eight years, but the Academy of Agricultural Sciences might not be willing.
The seeds of the new species of endive were not cheap either.
Anyway, it was much more expensive than purple clover.
"Eight years? What are you thinking about? It's so cold here in winter. No matter how resistant the endive is to the cold, it'll probably die a lot after a winter.”
"However, the contract states that the root ball should be left in the ground in winter to see if it can survive the next year.”
The person in charge handed the contract to him and gestured for him to read it himself.
Almost all the conditions were clearly stated in the contract. Jiang Tu decided to give three acres of land a try.
"Alright, leave your address and contact information.”The person-in-charge pushed out another book. There were only two names on it.
He was third.
" Eh? You live in Bear Ear Village?" The person in charge looked at the address in surprise." Then you might be able to get an expert to personally come and guide you.”
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Jiang Tu looked at him in confusion.
"Is there a professor who rented a field there? I remember that the expert seems to be from the agricultural university.”
"Alright, take the seeds. Just plant them normally before and after spring ploughing. The rest will be waiting for the experts to contact you.”
Jiang Tu memorized the name of the grass and prepared to look it up when he got back.
Forage did not belong to fruits and vegetables, nor did it belong to food, so it was not on the recommended list on that piece of paper.
Before he left, he ordered some fruit trees from the person in charge of the agricultural resources station. There were not many, but there were many varieties.
The manager's eyes almost popped out of his sockets when he saw the bland product.
What kind of requirement was wanting to plant it if he could? Did this young man really know how many types of fruit trees there were in this world?
Is this how you run a farm?
For the sake of the contract, he picked up a pen and wrote down the 80 types of fruit trees on the paper.
"This is enough. The species 'variety isn't the kind of variety you have.”
"You found it online, right? Theoretically, some fruit trees could survive the winter here, but in reality, it might not.”
It was better to cut it now than to blame it on the fruit seedlings later.
"I'll help you book it, but it'll take at least half a month. Pay the deposit and wait for the call when you go back.”
Jiang Tu was practically chased out of the farm by the person in charge.
He didn't care.
Next, he had to go to the animal husbandry station. This kind of domesticated poultry was generally not injected with the vaccine.
He needed to buy some vaccine.
"Aiyo, it's you."
Jiang Tu also recognized the person in front of him. It was the veterinarian he had seen yesterday, the one who had shot down the wild boar.
"By the way, we arranged for people to release the wild boar in the reserve this morning. Don't worry, it's quite a distance from your house, and the direction is different.”The vet saw the change in Jiang Tu's expression and quickly comforted him.
He understood.
Anyone who had been visited by such a huge wild boar twice would not look good.
"What are you buying? I'll help you choose." the vet said enthusiastically.
Although this was not his department, he was familiar with medicine.
She swiftly took all kinds of vaccine and gestured to Jiang Tu with her chin." Just pay the bill over there."”
The station chief looked helpless, but he did not stop them.
The vet didn't care. He was prepared to give him a test strip to test for pregnancy for free on account of the wild boar.
"You know how to use it, right?" The vet raised his eyebrows.
"If you don't know how to use it, ask the students next to your house to help you. They've learned it before.”
Jiang Tu was speechless.
Although he didn't want to admit it, this was the first time he had seen such a test paper in his life.
Why was she blushing for no reason?
The doctors were valiant, and the veterinarians were not inferior.
He really couldn't afford to offend her.
On the way back to the village,
A white pickup truck stopped on the forest path for ten seconds before it started again.
At that time, there were already six chickens and two bags of wheat seeds in the car.
