Chapter 625 Sixty Things Fine Factory Flower (49)

 Comrade Xu Yin, who is hard-working and capable, was loaned to Red Star Farm after the beginning of spring to exchange experience in fertilization.

The farm does not have enough livestock manure to build biogas digesters, so it still uses artificial retting to topdress crops.

Sister Tian’s younger brother and sister-in-law both work at Hongxing Farm. One time, Sister Tian returned to her parents’ home and said that Comrade Xu Yin knew a wonderful method of retting fertilizer. The retting fertilizer was not only eco-friendly and odorless, but also extremely fertile. The farm director borrowed Xu Yin through the farm director Qi.

Xu Yin stayed at Hongxing Farm for three days. She not only taught them how to make ecological fertilizers, but also taught them a few tips on interplanting. This is the farming experience she has accumulated from several small worlds. Some of them were learned from the skill manual exchanged in the system mall.

For example, when corn is interplanted with garlic, the allicin secreted by garlic can drive away corn aphids and reduce the incidence of corn sclerotinia;

For example, when corn and cucumbers are interplanted, the cucumbers do not need trellises and can grow around corn stalks, saving labor and time, and can also reduce or suppress cucumber mosaic disease.

For example, spring corn is interplanted with pumpkin, and late corn is interplanted with winter melon. The corn grows upward, and the pumpkin and winter melon climb across the seedlings without affecting each other. However, the nectar of the pumpkin and winter melon can attract the parasitism of the black egg wasp, the natural enemy of the corn borer, and can effectively reduce the damage caused by corn borers...

 The farm workers were stunned for a while after hearing this.

They know about interplanting - planting tall and short together so that there is more light, but they didn't expect that there are so many details?

 According to what Comrade Xu Yin said, interplanting will not only provide sufficient light and reduce crop diseases, but also increase production?

Then what are you waiting for! Hurry up and start planting!

The farm director immediately listened to Xu Yin’s suggestion and interplanted the corn with garlic, winter melon and cucumber.

 At the time of summer harvest, regardless of whether it was due to top dressing or interplanting, the farm had a bumper corn harvest, the yield per acre increased a lot, and vegetables such as garlic, winter melon, and cucumbers also grew extremely well.

The farm director was so happy that he personally sent Xu Yin a basket of corn and a basket of vegetables as a thank you gift, and jokingly said:

“Xiao Xu, I think you are overqualified to stay in the breeding farm. How about you come to work in our farm? Can you tell me about the treatment? I can definitely satisfy you if I can make the decision.”

Farmer Qi heard that the farm’s director Zhou was here and thought he was here to borrow Xu Yin again.

 Xu Yin is not free recently. The first batch of walnuts has matured and the ewes have produced milk. Her guidance is needed everywhere, but she can't get away.

So he rushed over to refuse. Unexpectedly, when he heard these words, his face turned dark and he angrily chased people away:

"Lao Zhou, why are you so cunning! Poaching corners of our company behind my back? What do you mean if you stay in our company and overuse your talents? Oh, can you shine at your Red Star Farm? Go, go, go! Who will lend you people in the future? , I will never borrow it again! God knows if we will poach the backbone of our field just by borrowing it. Do you think it is easy to cultivate a backbone? Why are you so cunning..."

　　　…”

Xu Yin quietly slipped away while the two field directors were bickering.

If she had been asked to choose a farm or a breeding farm when she first came here, she would have definitely considered choosing a farm without any land.

 But after two years of working and living on the farm, she has developed a relationship with this place. What’s more, the walnut trees have begun to bear fruit this year, and she is still waiting to eat the paper-bark walnuts she planted herself!

Last year the walnut trees only bloomed but did not bear fruit. All the staff at the farm were worried about Xu Yin - if they did not bear fruit this year, she would have to bear the cost of the 300 walnut trees.

 Fortunately, the fruit is expected to bear fruit this year.

When the walnut flowers withered and produced small fruits one after another, all the workers were happier than Xu Yin himself.

As the walnuts grow up day by day, their hearts also expand day by day:

 “This walnut is too good!”

"There are so many and so big! Do you think they are all tied together with last year's share?"

"It's not just walnuts that bear fruit, have you noticed? The bamboo shoots and wild vegetables in the back mountains are also growing very well, one crop after another, and it seems like there is never enough to cut."     "I feel like God has opened my eyes! There was a drought a few years ago. , not even a blade of grass grows, and in the past two years, the capital has been returned to us with interest!”

Hearing the happy discussions of the employees, Xu Yin put away the spiritual dew that she did not dare to continue using, hiding her merit and fame.

Even though it was the first year to bear fruit, the walnut production was quite large. Farm manager Qi asked Xu Yin to discuss how to sell the walnuts.

 As mentioned before, should we cooperate with a non-staple food factory to produce walnut powder, walnut cake and other snacks for sale, or should we dry them and sell them directly?

"I think these walnuts are selling well. Not only are they big, but the walnut meat is also very plump, white and tender. The profits of each factory this year are better than last year. I heard that the business of melon seeds and peanuts at the supply and marketing cooperative is very good. , maybe our paper-skinned walnuts will also be very popular. How about we store them in the supply and marketing cooperative and sell them directly?"

 Director Qi is full of confidence.

Xu Yin was thinking about another possibility: "Director, do you think it is feasible for our farm to produce it ourselves?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　∣　　

Director Qi squirted the tea and choked several times before he found his voice:

"Xiao Xu, what are you talking about? Produce it yourself? How to produce it? We are a breeding farm!"

 Just shook Xu Yin to wake her up.

Xu Yin thinks that if a breeding farm can be opened under a textile factory, why can't a food processing workshop be set up under a breeding farm?

"With our own processing workshop, can't we process the walnuts, goat's milk and even the endless fruits and vegetables in the factory anytime and anywhere? We don't need to look at the faces and plans of the non-staple food factory. We can still do it ourselves during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Making mooncakes to provide benefits to employees saves a lot of money than purchasing them from outside..."

 She was actually thinking of the inescapable movement a year later.

If you have to cooperate with a non-staple food factory every time, if something happens to the non-staple food factory at that stage, won’t the breeding farm be affected?

 Instead of relying on others, it is better to do it yourself. If you engage in your own production behind closed doors and are not affected by the ups and downs of the outside world, you will be able to remain stable for as long as you want.

Director Qi didn't know what Xu Yin was really thinking, but as he listened, he was miraculously moved by her.

But this matter is not a trivial matter. Even if it is just a small workshop, there must be funding. What can you do if you don't have money? Besides, he is not qualified to approve this application.

So he went to the main factory to find the leader.

When he arrived at the main factory, he was still thinking about how to mention this matter to the leader. This step was really too big and he was afraid of being criticized, but he saw Director Lin put a red-headed document in front of him with an emotional look on his face.

“Lao Qi, you came just in time, I was just looking for you.”

Director Qi picked up the document and looked at it in confusion, his eyes almost bulging out of his head.

What! !

  Will the breeding farm become an independent textile factory?

The breeding farm is no longer a department of the textile factory, but is affiliated to the Pingcheng Agricultural Bureau, and will it become a signature unit that Pingcheng focuses on promoting?

this…

 Chief Qi’s eyes went straight.

"Lao Qi." Director Lin smiled and stood up to shake hands with him. "From now on, we will be on the same level. Also, Xiao Xu will be the deputy director from now on. When you retire, she will take over."
