335 Exuberant Growth
Stoneback Village’s specialty shop was finally online and open for business.
Zhou Fangfang put up everything that was to be sold from the village.
There was a good quantity of items put up on sale.
Other than processed food that was not online for the time being, the things the villagers brought over were all online after Gu Qingming invited the Shi family to select. There were even carrots and cabbages.
However, since it was a new shop and the traffic was still small, some customers were just curious and had no intention of placing an order.
When the villagers found out that the online shop had opened, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.
They had high hopes for this shop.
They hoped to sell the items and create a way to make money.
After all, the things they sold were cultivated well. Their taste and taste were not bad.
The shop was not too busy, and Gu Qingming had only recruited Zhou Fangfang as an employee for the time being. As for moving the goods, she had not recruited anyone yet.
Zhou Fangfang’s current job was to browse the shop every day to see if there were any consultations. Then, she would act as a customer service and answer the questions asked by customers.
Currently, there was not much traffic to the shop. There were not many people who consulted, and no one had placed an order.
Her work was quite leisurely.
However, no matter how leisurely she was at work, Zhou Fangfang didn’t dare to slack off during work hours. Unless she needed to use her phone, she kept staring at the computer.
Gu Qingming admired her professional ethics.
After handing the matter of the shop to Zhou Fangfang, Gu Qingming would check on the few greenhouses every day.
Although the four greenhouses were not in the same village, the distance was not far. They arrived very quickly by riding an electric bike.
However, in the eyes of the family, Gu Qingming’s situation was still in confinement and could not be exposed to the wind. Naturally, they did not let Gu Qingming ride the electric scooter herself.
The closer areas could be reached by walking, and the further ones were reached on electric scooter. However, she wasn’t riding the scooter on her own. Someone was sending her there.
The four greenhouses were planted. When the seedlings were planted in the early stages, they were all watered with spiritual spring water. Therefore, when these seedlings were planted, they looked lively, lush, and extremely cute.
When planting these seedlings, the villagers immediately spoke up.
“This chili seedling is growing really well. Its branches are thick and its leaves are green. I wonder what breed it is? How many chili peppers can it grow?”
“Look at this cabbage seedling. It’s white and green. It looks so good!”
“These green melon seedlings are also very thick!”
…
In short, these seedlings grew very thick and strong. They looked very good!
“Eh, there are ten to twenty types of seedlings here, but I can’t find a single wormhole. I remember Shi Lichun saying that his niece wants to grow green products.”
“I’ve heard the kids say that the so-called green produce is cultivated without any pesticides.”
“There are so many seedlings. Without pesticides, how can there be no insects?” Someone was instantly puzzled.
“I heard that it’s the function of this greenhouse! This greenhouse is an intelligent greenhouse. Every day, it can automatically monitor the temperature and humidity required by various crops in this greenhouse. Then, it can calibrate the temperature and humidity according to the needs! Under such circumstances, ordinary insects won’t be able to survive. There is no exposure to the air outside.”
“No wonder it’s so expensive to install. I heard that Gu Qingming’s parents found an acquaintance to install it. They saved three to four million.”
“Ha, did they save three to four million? Doesn’t that mean the original price is tens of millions?”
“It’s just tens of millions.”
“F*ck, these greenhouses are too expensive.”
“Fortunately, this greenhouse can’t be stolen. Otherwise, if items worth tens of millions were placed on the ground, someone would definitely steal them.”
“The other three greenhouses are dedicated to growing one crop reach. Just this greenhouse alone has ten to twenty things planted together. The nutrients and water requirements of each item are different. How are they going to monitor this greenhouse?”
“I reckon that this is what the high-tech technology is for. How can ordinary people like us understand it?”
…
After more than ten days, everyone started discussing again.
The small seedlings in the four greenhouses all thrived and grew into large seedlings. Their branches became thicker and thicker, and their leaves turned from tender green to green.
For villagers who had been farming all their lives, such crops were the most popular.
The better the seedlings grew, the better the fruits they bore.
Of course, many villagers also had a saying that for the crops to bear good fruits, the seedlings could not be too good.
This was because if all the nutrients had been absorbed by the seedlings, the nutrients obtained by the fruit were less.
Therefore, ordinary farmers would apply some techniques to deal with this crop seedling. For example, if a peanut seedling looked too good, tall, and thick, the farrmer would inject it with that kind of inhibitor, which was chemically controlled multi-effect azole. For an acre of land, 50 grams of multi-effect azole was mixed with 30 to 40 kilograms of water and sprayed directly on the plant. It could be used two to three times in a row. The effect of control was good and increased production.
The peanuts in Gu Qingming’s peanut shed were growing very well.
However, since Gu Qingming had decided not to use fertilizers and pesticides, she could only control the growth manually.
The so-called artificial control was to step on the peanut seedlings from the middle to the sides to shorten the distance between the peanut and the soil. After stepping on them, they could cover them with a layer of soil to prevent the peanut seedlings from recovering.
At first, Gu Qingming did not know that plants could not grow too well.
Later on, after listening to her grandmother’s words, reading a book, and looking it up online, she realized that it was a mistake to grow crops too well.
The peanuts planted by Gu Qingming had been soaked in the spiritual spring water. The impurities had completely been removed, leaving behind the essence.
Some of the pesticides and other impurities left in the soil were also cleaned up by Gu Qingming with the spiritual spring water.
After planting it and watering it with spirit spring water, it was impossible for the peanuts to not grow well.
She planted peanuts to harvest peanuts, not seedlings.
If it really grew too well, it would definitely have to be artificially controlled.
Gu Qingming went to check on the rice. Ten days was enough for these seedlings to turn into green seedlings.
Standing at the entrance and looking at the vast expanse of rice seedling, Gu Qingming thought of the embarrassing incident last year where she mistook rice seedlings for chives.
Now that she had stayed in the countryside for more than half a year, she would not make mistakes with ordinary crops.
With more than 50 acres of rice, an acre of land could yield at least 2,000 catties of rice. That meant that this field would yield at least 50 tons of rice.
Pure green organic agricultural products without public hazards can be linked to companies that make baby and toddler foods.
Perhaps, in the future, she could set up her own infant and child food company.
Children were the future of the country!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingming’s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps this could be the case.
If she had the ability, she could at least contribute to the country!
