Chapter 243 Buying Seedlings?
Cheng Tian and Cheng Jie came here in a pickup truck.
Nowadays, I can drive a pickup truck, and my family is considered a rich man.
The two brothers actually earned money from growing cotton last year. Or, a year ago, when they heard that Lin Tao earned more than one million in selling cotton, their brother Cheng Tian had already paid attention to Lin Tao.
Cheng Jie and Lin Tao were classmates of the same junior high school class and had an impression of Lin Tao. However, Lin Tao was only performing average excellence in school at that time, or just those who are good at studying and have no other specialties.
But as soon as he graduated from college, he was so amazing. Cheng Jie treated this as gossip to Cheng Tian. Cheng Tian followed Lin Tao and then found that Lin Tao's next actions were smooth. After inquiring, he also brought the rest of the village to wealth, and Cheng Tian immediately became concerned.
Last year, Lin Tao's cooperative mainly planted cotton and melons. It didn't make much money by beating melons. Cheng Tian gritted his teeth and planted all the 200 acres of land he contracted. When the price of cotton fell in autumn, Cheng Tian's attention to Lin Tao became even higher. Everyone was waiting for the cotton to continue to rise, but Lin Tao quickly sold it, and Cheng Tian also decided to sell the cotton.
The family disagreed, but Cheng Tian was able to make the decision, and he supported himself to sell cotton and earned a lot of money. Then he bought a pickup truck.
With such a thing, Cheng Tian paid more attention to Lin Tao and the cooperative.
The fact that the jujube planting actually spread last year. But everyone didn't agree with it. But Tian Tian felt that since Lin Tao did this, it must make sense.
However, this kind of date has a relatively large investment, so Cheng Tian drove to take Cheng Jie over to take a look.
There are actually many people who think the same as the two brothers.
Lin Tao's reputation in the four miles and villages has spread. Everyone knows that his predictions about what he planted in the future are very accurate, so many followers.
It’s just that the jujube tree seedlings are not easy to deal with, so some people didn’t do it.
There were hundreds of people surrounding the land, but the people from the cooperative were no longer available to care about it. The tractor was already in place and Miaozi had already taken it in hand, so I waited for Lin Tao to speak.
"Brother, you can open the furrow as you go, Xiaodong, follow my brother, move quickly, the distance must be accurate, one pit per meter!" Lin Tao hugged Zaomiao and said, "You must dig the pit to the bottom of the ditch, but not too deep. The fertilizer layer we applied in the farmhouse is not thick, and you dug too deep and there is no fertilizer under the bottom, and it will not be good if you lose it!"
Seeing that Lin Hai and Huang Xiaodong were ready, Lin Tao immediately said, "Okay, start construction!"
Lin Hai took the lead. With the roar of the high-power tractor engine, the special plow directly plowed the ground into a ditch of more than half a meter deep. Then Huang Xiaodong followed and spun out a thirty-centimeter pit. Later, Lin Tao held the jujube seedlings to demonstrate. He put the jujube seedlings directly into the pit without using a shovel. He held the jujube seedlings with his hands and moved his feet a few times, filling the surrounding soil directly into the pit, just buried the root of the jujube seedlings, and then stepped on them twice to replace the next pit.
Lin Tao's actions were very simple. The people in the cooperative had known the method for a long time. Now Lin Tao demonstrated it again, so he quickly followed.
Of course, there are not only people working for the cooperative, but also those who hired villages and short-term workers. When the tractors dug more holes, others followed.
The movement was very fast, and in a short while, jujube seedlings were planted in twenty acres of land. Because they were all in the ditch, they looked very neat. However, the jujube seedlings were not high and looked a little weak.
When the tractor went down the land, the water in the upstream canal had already begun to be released from the water supply. Lu Peng had already agreed with the people in the village that the water from the cooperative would be watered later. Because there was an upstream reservoir, watering was relatively free, and the water was responsible for the water. The water could not be too much, but the roots had to be watered thoroughly. Fortunately, it was easier to pass through the water in the ditch. As long as the bottom of the ditch was damed, it would be more convenient to store water.
It looks very simple. The people around them understand it in just a few minutes. Some people disperse after watching it. After all, they all have their own work, while others continue to watch.
The jujube seedlings piled up on the ground are decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Some people calculate the average number of seedlings per mu, while others look at the jujube tree and think about other issues.
One morning, one hundred acres of land were completed, but everyone was very tired.
He didn't go home at noon and was eating dry food on the ground. At this time, Cheng Tian came over, carried a box of drinks in his hand, came to Lin Tao and the others, opened it, and said with a smile: "Lin Tao, right? I am Cheng Tian, Cheng Jie's brother. Cheng Jie is from the same junior high school class. Do you still remember?"
Lin Tao said while gnawing on the naan: "Remember, it's from Class 4!"
Cheng Jie, who was behind, heard that Lin Tao still remembered himself, hurriedly wiped his hands and said, "Hello Lin Tao, long time no see, you are getting better and better now!"
Lin Tao shook hands, smiled and said nothing.
Cheng Tian distributed the drinks to other people in the cooperative, then picked up a can of them himself, squatted beside Lin Tao, and said with a smile: "Your dates have opened your eyes!"
Lin Tao said while eating, "There is no way, it's hard to make money by planting other things."
After he said this, Cheng Tian also complained: "Yes, farming is the same as guessing the size now, and I don't know what it is worth to plant, so I have to plant it randomly and fool you - but you are different, I think everything you plant is worth it. By the way, did you buy the jujube seedlings from southern Xinjiang?"
Lin Tao nodded, it was no secret.
"I wonder if you have many seedlings?" Cheng Tian finally expressed his purpose, "We have no way, and we also want to learn from you to grow dates, but we have no place to buy date seedlings. There is no such thing in our nursery in northern Xinjiang. If there are many, sell it to us?"
Lin Tao thought for a while and said, "Yes. But it's not cheap."
"I know." Cheng Tian was immediately excited when he heard Lin Tao say there was, and took over the conversation: "It is definitely not cheap. First, I heard that it can produce dates this year, and it has been three years of seedlings. Second, it is transported from all over the world, so it is definitely not cheap. Don't worry, we pay cash!"
Lin Tao pointed to the jujube seedlings piled up behind him and said, "A plant costs ten yuan. How much do you want?"
"Ten yuan?" Cheng Tian was stunned for a moment, looking at the jujube seedlings that were not much bigger than ripe wheat. The price was a bit beyond expectations. In his opinion, seven or eight yuan was the most expensive.
Lin Tao didn't say anything anymore. He believed that some people would definitely want this jujube seedling. His work in the past two years has not been done in vain. Today, there are so many foreigners coming to see me to plant jujubes, probably to see if I really acted. I bought 50,000 more jujube seedlings, and even if the remaining 10,000 yuan is available to replenish the seedlings, the rest can be sold a lot.
Since someone comes to buy it, it will definitely not be cheap. At least you have to make back the money for investing in jujube seedlings, right?
"Buy it!" Cheng Tian saw that Lin Tao stopped talking and knew that this was the bottom line. He gritted his teeth and said, "By the way, how much do you plant acre of land? One hundred or two hundred?"
"Because of not planning to let the date grow taller, it will keep a height higher than the groove, so it can be planted densely, and it can be less than 300."
Cheng Tian calculated his own money and had no choice but to invest it all, saying, "I want ten thousand plants, but I have to come and pay tomorrow. Can I keep the seedlings for me?"
