When Lin Tao returned home, Lin Guodong and Lin Hai were watching TV, and Li Yumei was burning foot water in the kitchen.

Seeing Lin Tao come back, Lin Guodong pointed to the cup on the table and said, "Did you drink a lot? That's the honey water your mother made for you. The temperature is just right, drink it!"

Lin Tao was also in the yard of Old Chen's house before, but he came back early. Seeing Lin Tao come back, when he finished drinking honey water and sat down, Lin Hai asked, "Xiao Tao, you told the people in the cooperative that you want to plant something to make money, what are you planting?"

Lin Tao didn't have to hide it from his family, and said with a smile: "Plant red dates."

"Red dates?" Lin Guodong frowned and said, "That thing in our northern Xinjiang is not easy to grow!"

Lin Tao nodded with a smile and said, "It's not easy to plant. The weather here is cold and the jujube trees are not easy to survive the winter. But there is a way."

Lin Tao remembers very clearly that in his own vegetable garden, two jujube trees would be planted next year in his previous life. The seedlings were carried back by Lin Guodong from his hometown. A lot of red dates are born every year, but because the weather in northern Xinjiang is cold in winter, the jujube trees must be suppressed, otherwise the tree will not die, but it will not bear anything.

Pressing a jujube tree every year is a troublesome job. Because the jujube tree has thorns and grows bigger and bigger, in later generations, the jujube tree grew to more than ten centimeters thick, and my parents were there at home. It took my dad several days to complete it. This pressing requires first tie a rope on the upper part of the tree, bend it, then press the main trunk with a cement board, then cover the branches of the entire jujube tree with a grain pole, and cover it with a layer of soil.

Later, the weather became warmer and the winter was not so cold. You just need to press down and cover it with a thick layer of grass. As a result, one year, the cold current was particularly cold, and a jujube tree was frozen to death.

That's why Lin Guodong questioned.

Lin Tao smiled and explained: "There is a way. Don't let the jujube trees grow - just go to the nursery in the southern Xinjiang to buy jujube tree seedlings that were born in three or five years old. The kind that could make dates back then plow a deep ditch in the field and plant the jujube tree seedlings. Then, you will have jujube trees, not too many, just one or two kilograms of dried jujubes. A mu of land must be collected for 3000 kilograms. At the current price, even if it is the cheapest, a kilogram of red dates worth ten yuan is more money than the current field!"

"What should I do if the little date tree is in autumn?" Lin Guodong had roughly understood. Lin Hai had no impression of the date tree and asked.

"After collecting the dates, sprinkle a layer of corn poles into the ditch, then cover the soil on both sides of the jujube tree in the middle, cover the jujube tree directly, and lift it up next year. It's time to go for some manual labor, but the price of dates has risen, so this labor is nothing!"

Lin Hai suddenly felt excited: "Then can we plant this kind of land at home?"

"Of course it's OK." Lin Tao said with a smile: "I'm going to wait until the cotton pole is knocked out, so I'll ask experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to come and see what kind of fertilizer we lack in planting red dates, and then buy this kind of fertilizer so that the red dates will not be worried about not being born!"

Lin Guodong thought far and continued to ask: "The sales of red dates..."

Lin Tao naturally considered this. He said: "My Xiangfei Raisin Processing Factory not only processes raisins, but also cantaloupe dried batan wood, which mainly deals in specialties from Western Xinjiang. In fact, I used to think of making red dates, but the price of red dates in the south is too high. It costs dozens of yuan per kilogram to buy in the jujube orchard, or even hundreds of dollars to buy. So I simply thought about planting it on our own, so that we can save it by others! As long as a cooperative comes out and a good harvest comes, there will definitely be many people following the trend, and then there will be a source of goods."

Lin Tao said this, Lin Guodong and Lin Hai naturally understood that Lin Tao would not take the initiative to promote it, but the cooperative would plant it themselves. If it was planted and sold for money, everyone would definitely plant it together. By then, the production of red dates will be large, and most people don’t know where to sell it. The Xiangfei Raisin Processing Factory can directly become a red date processing factory.

How great!

"Just think it through!" Lin Guodong looked at Lin Tao and said, "I have never seen this, so you should be careful. Ask the experts more and don't cheat everyone."

Lin Tao nodded, and naturally he would not say that in later generations, in the village next door, there was an old farmer who farmed in this way. At that time, others didn't know that it was mainly when the dates were fruited in season. Every day, the old farmer could see a truck of fresh dates sold at the morning market. The price was not high, ten yuan per kilogram. You should know that only a few kilograms of fresh dates were drying one kilogram of dried dates, so this truck of fresh dates was also very expensive. Later, someone was curious and asked him which batch of fresh dates came from, and he directly said that he planted them himself. The news spread.

But not everyone dares to plant this way - to whom to plant it?

The reason why farmers are worried about things that are not popular is that they are afraid of rotting into the fields, and it is not uncommon to have good yields or harvests.

The fact that people have grown it shows the climate in northern Xinjiang is OK.

As for the specific details, Lin Tao believes that it will be solved by then.

At the wine table at that time, Lin Tao just said he wanted to plant red dates. In the northern border, except for the special place in Yili, there was no history of planting red dates in other places. So most young people had no idea about this, but when they heard this news, most elderly people, especially those who came from the mainland, were sighing or sighing.

Some say that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, some say that Lin Tao is so arrogant that he is ignorant of the world, and some are as confused as Lin Guodong. Could it be that Lin Tao solved the problem that jujube trees cannot survive the winter? Or did Lin Tao discover a new variety of jujube trees?

Early the next morning, several people from the cooperative came over to ask Lin Tao about his specific situation.

Lin Tao naturally didn't say it, just said that he had a solution.

He really has a way. But now is not the time to say it, and that Khabarov has come. In order to prove his integrity, Khabarov directly brought dozens of trucks of chrome ore this time!

After receiving this news, Lin Tao was really unintentional to solve the problem of planting jujube trees with the people in the cooperative, and threw it down: "Believe me, just follow me at the beginning of next year. You will know then. Now is not the time to solve it, I am still busy!"

After saying that, he drove the Audi to the county.

Lin Tao was originally a little moved by Khabarov's proposal, but the risk was not small after all. Now Khabarov directly brought chromium ore. If it proves that it is indeed a rich ore, it proves that this person can really get the mining rights of chromium ore as he said, or at least it means that he can get chromium ore.

This thing is a good thing!
