Chapter 364: The Arrival of the Calves!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The villagers stood in the greenhouse and looked at the green watermelon vines with small yellow flowers.
“The watermelons in the small Gu family’s greenhouse seem to have grown much better than the watermelons in the neighboring village.”
“That must be it. The greenhouse in the neighboring village doesn’t cost much. I heard that it only cost less than 100,000 dollars to build one that covers dozens of acres of land. Little Gu’s greenhouse is an intelligent thermostat greenhouse that costs more than a million dollars.”
“These watermelon seedlings are all so delicious. 1 made watermelon seedling tofu soup. This soup is clear, sweet, and fresh.”
“Other than stir-frying watermelon seedlings, I also made a cold salad. It’s very refreshing. It’s even better than the ones made from minced meat!”
“It’s a pity that the entire branch will only last for a period of time. I still want to eat it now, but 1 don’t dare to do it!”
“Haha, everyone in the village asked for a handful of watermelon seedlings from more than 50 acres of land. They were supposed to feed the pigs and cows, but in the end, they fed themselves.”
“Hehe, who would have thought that the dishes made with this watermelon seedling would be so delicious?”
“I’ve eaten pumpkin seedlings, winter melon seedlings, and loofah seedlings before, but I’ve never eaten watermelon seedlings. I’ve just started eating them and they’re gone.”
“Look, these watermelon stems are so thick. 1 wonder if the watermelons would be big and if they are sweet?”
“They should be sweet.”
“Is this a watermelon technology issue or a smart greenhouse issue?”
“I think it should be due to the smart greenhouse and the nutrition ingredients. I heard that their watermelon seeds were taken from the agricultural research center. At the same time, there are nutritional packets.”
“In the past, we learned to plant watermelons by ourselves. Now, people plant watermelons according to science and technology. I wonder if the person who wrote the book has ever planted watermelons?”
“He must have planted watermelons before. How can he write a book if he has never planted watermelons?”
T wouldn’t be so sure of that. A lot of experts are just mouthing off and imagining things.’
“You can’t say that. Look at Shi Lichun and Little Gu’s family. They read it from books.”
“But Shi Lichun and his brothers have also gained experience planting watermelons. Coupled with the effect of the smart greenhouse, the watermelons planted are better than our watermelons.”
“I heard from Qiuxiang that their watermelons are organic agricultural products. Whether it’s in the past or in the future, they don’t use pesticides or fertilizers. The fertilizer used is all organic fertilizer fermented by their own families and mixed with nutrition packs.”
“But what exactly are organic products? 1 know green food, but 1 don’t really understand organic products.”
“What do we country bumpkins know? I heard from the young people that the rich people in the big cities like to buy organic food. They say it’s healthy!”
“Sigh, Little Gu is a child from a big city, and her family is rich, so she understands the needs of the rich better. Even if we understand, we don’t have the ability. Not to mention the sale, just building a greenhouse alone would cost more than a lifetime of savings.”
As the villagers pollinated the watermelons, they began to talk about various topics.
Gu Qingming’s ears became more and more sensitive. Even though she was a little far from these villagers, their conversations entered her ears one by one. It was difficult for her not to hear them.
Sometimes, having sharp ears could be a pain in the ass.
In order to nurture her planting skills, be it watermelons or peanuts, a piece of land was left or Gu Qingming to experiment.
However, the four-month confinement period was not up yet. Her family stopped her from going to the farm.
Even when she went to the farm, she had to wear warm clothes to ensure that the cold air could not get to her.
The watermelon and peanuts were each allocated a portion of the land.
On the other hand, it was enough for Gu Qingming to experiment.
Gu Qingming looked at the green and cute watermelon seedlings under the green shed with slight pride.
This piece of land was a corner of the country she had conquered.
At this moment, Gu Qingming’s phone rang.
“Hello, alright, 1 understand. I’ll go back immediately!”
After Gu Qingming hung up, she walked up to Eldest Uncle and said to him, “Eldest Uncle, Hongniu Company has sent cows over.”
Eldest Uncle immediately put down the words in his hand and said happily, “Really? Alright, let’s go back and take a look! Our cattle farm has been built long ago. We’re just waiting for these little calves to come back.”
Then, Eldest Uncle called his two younger brothers and said loudly, “Stop working. They’ve sent the calf over.”
To the villagers, 50 calves was not a small number.
The Shi family quickly knew that the calf had been sent over, so they all rushed back to take a look.
They saw three large trucks parked at the entrance of the courtyard. Inside the trucks were 50 young calves.
The person in charge of Hongniu Company’s transportation this time was waiting for Gu Qingming and the others to return home.
As soon as he saw Gu Qingming, Manager Liu, who was the person in charge, looked very excited.
He shook Gu Qingming’s hand and said, “Miss Gu, hello, hello. I’ve really heard a lot about you.”
Gu Qingming said, “Manager Liu, you’re too polite!”
Manager Liu pointed at the cows in the truck and said happily, “Miss Gu, these are the cows you need. Fifty-six of them.”
Gu Qingming asked in confusion, “Fifty-six? I wanted to buy fifty back then, right?”
“That’s right, 50. However, our company’s CEO heard that you plan to raise cows in the countryside, so he gave you six more. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
When Gu Qingming heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She could only nod and say, “Thank you, President Yang. When there’s a chance, I’ll send him some beef to try!”
She guessed that President Yang must be very curious about why she was raising cows in the countryside.
Perhaps it was even more like he was watching a show.
But no matter what it was, Gu Qingming could not be bothered to care if it meant no harm.
Manager Liu said, “Miss Gu, these calves are already a little tired on the way. We have to put them down now. Where do you think we should put them?”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Our family has already prepared a place. I’ll have to trouble you and the masters later.”
Eldest Uncle said, “Manager Liu, it’s not easy for big trucks to enter our cattle farm. Get the drivers to drive to the bend so we can unload these calves.”
At the bend was the foot of the mountain where the cattle farm was built.
Manager Liu said, “Alright, let’s transport the calves over first. The calves have been in the truck for too long and is already very tired and frustrated. If he continues to hold it in, something big will happen.”
Soon, a group of people transported the calves to the bend.
Each large truck carried 18 calves.
Due to the long journey, these calves were already very listless in the car.
The women of the Shi Family seemed to be heartbroken.
When they unloaded the car, they said loudly, “Be careful, be careful.. Don’t hurt these calves!”
