Farming in the End Times is So Difficult

Chapter 16-20

Chapter 16 Adaptability (2)

As mentioned earlier, the economic conditions of Qiao Fei’s village are quite good. This is mainly because the village has been growing vegetables in greenhouses for the past few years, mainly supplying the county and urban areas. There are not many intermediate links, so the income is quite good.

Originally, this period of Chinese New Year is the busiest time of the year for sales: the sales volume is large and the price is high. But this year, once the traffic was interrupted, the vegetables could not be shipped out. Secondly, everyone couldn't care about the frights one after another.

Ignoring it doesn't mean that the villagers didn't find the problem, but put aside the problems they found for the time being.

But now, after they have settled down relatively and are no longer completely uncertain about the future, the issue of livelihood has been placed first again. First of all, these crops are in a different growth state from before.

The biggest problem is green vegetables and cabbage, which have started to pick moss. It would be a good thing if it was only up to this point. The vegetable moss in the Spring Festival, because it is fresher and more tender, the price is much higher than the original green cabbage. Even if you can't ship it out and sell it now, it's good to eat it yourself. It's a pity that the vegetable moss that was pulled out was long and thin, with only skin but no flesh, and it looked like it was about to blossom and bear fruit.

Qiao Fei's family also owns land in the village. However, Qiao's couple and Ding's couple usually have jobs, and they don't live in the village, so they don't have much time to take care of the land, and the vegetables in the greenhouse need a lot of energy to take care of them.

So in the Qiao family's field, all the vegetables that are in season and easier to serve are grown. Anyway, I don't expect them to make money. I just want to eat fresh and rest assured at home.

Even when Qiao Fei came back near the end of last year, she didn't say that she would develop greenhouse planting in the village -- obviously it would not be approved, so naturally a lot of cabbage was planted in their land.

As for the vegetable moss pumped from the field, the three of Qiao's family only knew that they were not tasty. But there is no shortage of vegetables at home, if they are not delicious, they will not be delicious. Qiao Fei didn't take it too seriously. It wasn't until the village informed her to go to a meeting together to discuss this issue that she realized that this is such a serious issue?

However, after understanding the general situation, Qiao Fei also admitted that this problem is indeed quite serious.

If it blooms and sets seeds early, then the nutrients in this dish must not be stored enough. And from the current point of view, they grow too fast, and the requirements for fertility will definitely be higher.

In the current situation, there are two options. One is to pull out these vegetables directly and use them as fertilizer in the rotten ground; the other is to add fertility so that they can bloom and bear fruit smoothly.

In previous years, this would not have been a problem for the villagers at all: if they could not be sold or eaten, what would they do if they stayed in the field?

At that time, it was convenient and cheap to buy a few bags of vegetable seeds, and it was not cost-effective to harvest them yourself, let alone add additional fertilizers.

But in this situation, whether we can still buy vegetable seeds, we have no idea at all. Even if you can buy it, it's hard to say what the price will be.

But adding fertility also faces problems. This fertilizer, of course, is a chemical fertilizer. It is also uncertain whether it will be available in the future or at what price. What, girl Qiao Fei, you said farm manure? What is that enough!
