Super Farming Tycoon Chapter 302 Lower Rice Seed

302 Lower Rice Seed
Gu Qingming had more than 200 acres of land and divided it into four pieces. She chose a piece of land with 50 to 60 acres of land to plant greenhouse rice.
There were still more than a hundred acres of land left. Gu Qingming was more familiar with the crops recently and planned to plant them.
There were 10 to 20 types, and after each type was planted and distributed, they occupied more than five acres of land.
To the villagers, Gu Qingming’s actions puzzled them.
Ordinary people would only plant one or two kinds of things when they contracted land. In that case, as long as the market was open, it would be easier to sell them.
If there were many of these types, sales would be a problem.
Another problem was that there were many types of vegetables that were easily spoiled here.
For example, the little cabbages had to be plucked on the same day. If it were to be transported the next day, it would start to spoil. The expiry date was no more than three days.
If they did not contact the sales channel, it was very easy to lose money.
Also, if there were many types, it would not be easy to manage.
Speaking of which, one shouldn’t bite off more than one could chew.
At this moment, the Shi family was letting the rice seeds germinate.
This rice seed was also given to them by their younger sister, Shi Yashu. It was a hybrid of the Agricultural Science Academy and weighed a total of 200 catties.
The seeds were golden and full.
Eldest Aunt found out and weighed these seeds.
Eldest Uncle looked at the seeds and said, “This is a hybrid seed. One acre of land should need at most one and a half catties of seeds. According to the calculation of 70 acres of land, we have to weigh about 110 catties first!”
After her first aunt weighed 110 catties, she found three snakeskin bags and filled them up separately. Then, she soaked them in clear water.
It took two days and two nights to soak the seeds.
Two days later, Eldest Aunt moved the soaked seeds to the dry straw that she had prepared to maintain a certain temperature.
The next day, after removing the straw, when the snakeskin bag was opened, the seeds had already sprouted.
Eldest Uncle opened it and looked at it. He frowned slightly and said, “It still needs to be covered. It can be scattered tomorrow.”
Eldest Aunt covered these seeds again.
She said, “Prepare the land today and we’ll sprinkle it tomorrow.”
Moreover, their family’s land was not only Gu Qingming’s. They also had more than ten acres of their own land that needed to be planted.
The seeds Gu Qingming gave were quite good. They decided to plant this kind of rice too!
The Shi Family used an acre of land to grow seedlings for two hundred catties of seeds.
The seedling farm was actually a seedling bed for seedlings.
The seedling bed played a crucial role in the quality of the seedlings.
First, the seedling bed of the seedlings must be level, and the thickness of the subsoil and the upper soil must be uniform.
Secondly, the seedling bed had to be clean. This meant that weeds or some pests could not be left behind. Otherwise, this would have a huge impact on the rice seedlings, affecting the quality of the rice seedlings. The lack of contact with the ground would also have a huge effect on the quality of the seedlings.
Thirdly, the rice seedling bed had to have the right amount of water. Rice seedlings couldn’t lack water, but too much water wouldn’t do either. This was because too much water in the soil would affect the ground temperature greatly, and also cause the ground temperature to be too low. At the same time, too much water would also lead to insufficient nourishment in the soil. Therefore, when they raised the seedlings, they tried their best to choose a higher terrain, and the ground temperature would also be relatively higher.
However, the smart greenhouse that had cost spent millions to install was not for show. At the very least, there would be much less weeds and pests.
Secondly, the smart greenhouse could sense the change in the sun’s rays. It automatically opened the sunscreen and let the crops in the field enjoy sufficient sunlight.
When the water level is below demand, the automatic water supply system is resupplied in a timely manner.
This was more convenient and scientific than manual labor.
The next day, almost everyone in the Shi family, except for Grandma Shi, came to the greenhouse.
They chose a large shed to breed the vegetable seedlings and rice seedlings.
Eldest Uncle and his wife had already scattered some ordinary vegetable seeds. Some buds had already sprouted.
Looking at these tender yellow seedlings, they all felt that they were quite cute.
Eldest Aunt looked at the ditches beside the seedlings’ beds and said with a smile, “This kind of smart greenhouse is really scientific. Yesterday, I saw that the water in this ditch was less than half the height of the seedlings’ beds. Now, it has just flooded a little of the ground.”
It was best to plant such a seedling bed.
It couldn’t have too much water, but it couldn’t be without water.
Manual control was a little strenuous.
However, this smart greenhouse could completely manage itself.
Second Sister-in-law smiled and said, “This is too scientific. In the past, I’ve seen greenhouses in the surrounding villages. They were all ordinary greenhouses. Now, this smart greenhouse makes our work much easier.”
Shi Yuxin smiled and said, “You don’t have to tell me that. An ordinary greenhouse can only cost 20,000 to 30,000 dollars per acre. Our greenhouse costs millions. How can an ordinary greenhouse compare to it?”
The investment of a few million in greenhouses really made the country bumpkins’ hearts ache.
But when there was investment, there was return.
The last time Gu Qingming planted five greenhouses of rice, the rice was really fragrant and delicious.
However, there was not much rice, but there were a lot of people. They even gave it to some relatives. The rice was quickly used up.
They had been waiting for such rice to eat.
Eldest Uncle said, “Everyone, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and get to work. The earlier you finish, the earlier you can go home!”
Although it was already spring, the weather was still cold.
It was better for everyone to stand less in the water.
After hearing Eldest Uncle’s words, everyone rolled up their sleeves and pants and went straight to the ground. Everyone held a rice seed that had already sprouted in their hands.
There was strength in numbers. Two hundred catties of seeds were quickly scattered across more than two hundred acres of land.
After scattering the seeds, Eldest Uncle asked everyone to go back first. He went to the various greenhouses to take a look.
Although they had already plowed the land and dug the ditches at the end of the year, and it was a smart greenhouse that could control the water content, they did not have to worry about the lack of water in the land.
As for the water source, there was a river opposite the contracted land.
As long as it was a water pipe, the water could flow endlessly into the ground.
Eldest Uncle walked around the field and saw a few longevity snails in the field. He picked them up and disposed of them.
Because they had joined Gu Qingming’s contracted land, they had planted less of their land.
This year, they were also preparing to plant watermelons and rice.
They would allocate five acres of land to watermelon, and five acres of land to rice.
Crops, such as peanuts, would not be planted this year.
After planting the seeds, everyone returned home.
After the baby fell asleep, everyone tiptoed to see her.
Everyone said that babies in confinement were different every day.
Even though Baby Gu, who was born very beautiful and cute, became more and more beautiful every day. This made the sisters-in-law and brothers who wanted daughters to look at her with naked envy.
They also wanted a cute and beautiful little doll.
They wondered if they would have a daughter’s life in their lives.
“Mingming, the baby is cooing. She’s so cute!”
She was so adorable that their hearts melted.
How could there be such a cute human cub in this world?
