Chapter 473 Buying Seeds
It is the autumn harvest season now, but there are many people at the town fair.
Autumn is full of fruits, and the streets are full of vendors selling fruit. Although they are just vendors, the quality of the fruits is no worse than those in the fruit shops, and is even better in terms of freshness. These days, smart people can
Spending less money to buy good things is naturally the first choice, so there seem to be a lot of fruit stalls on the street, but there is no need to worry about the fruit being stranded.
Most of the pedestrians on the street are farmers pulling carts or riding bicycles. When they come to buy fertilizers or seeds, they will also buy some fruits for their children.
Zhang Taiping did not rush to the seed station, but walked slowly on the street, looking at the fruits on both sides of the road. As long as they were not available in his field, he would go there and take a look. If the quality was good, he would buy them and bring them back to others.
People try it.
There was a crowd of people in front of a stall, so Zhang Taiping went over to take a look out of curiosity. Standing at the back, the tall man could have a panoramic view of the scene inside without squeezing in. It turned out to be a pomegranate vendor.
The stall owner was a young man in his twenties who was very talkative. He cut a pomegranate into pieces and gave each person onlookers a piece.
The pomegranate seeds inside are watery and crystal clear, and the sunlight shines on them like pearls. It makes people happy to see them.
"Pomegranate is a good thing. Children will become smarter after eating it. New couples will have more children after eating it. Old people will have better legs and feet after eating it." The young man shouted loudly.
Although everyone knew that he was talking nonsense, the young man smiled happily while talking and laughing without making the people around him feel any disgust.
There are many seeds in pomegranate, so in the eyes of adults, it is really not a good thing to eat, but children love to eat this because it is a novelty.
"Mom, Dad, I want to eat pomegranates!" A child shouted to the young parents on both sides.
"Get a bag and pick up a few pills," the child's father said.
"Okay!" the young man shouted enthusiastically, handing over a red plastic bag.
One person bought it, and the onlookers nearby took action. Pomegranates are actually rare here. Although it is not impossible to find them, it is indeed rare to see them sold by hawkers on the street. Most people buy them just to taste them.
A fresh one.
Zhang Taiping also came forward, picked up one and looked at it. It was still very moist, and there were fresh leaves next to it. It was obvious that it had just been picked. He asked, "Is this a pomegranate you grew at home?"
"Yes, absolutely fresh, just picked." The young man responded and handed Zhang Taiping a bag.
"Get a big bag." Zhang Taiping said. There are such a large group of people in the house, and the number of such a small bag may not be enough for each person to divide.
"Okay, okay!" The young man smiled happily and took a big bag for Zhang Taiping.
After buying pomegranates, I bought several kilograms of golden oranges from the orange stall nearby. Then I scanned the street again and found that there were no more special fruits, so I went to a deserted place and bought all the things in my hands.
Put it into the space and walk towards the seed shop.
The owner of the seed shop knew Zhang Taiping and treated him warmly. Indeed, it was difficult not to remember him with his figure.
"What kind of seeds do you want this time?" The fat boss's face was full of kindness.
Zhang Taiping said: "Buy wheat seeds."
The boss was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Taiping was here to buy autumn seeds. The first two times he came here were to buy some rare seeds. In his opinion, Zhang Taiping didn't look like a farmer.
Zhang Taiping saw what the boss was thinking and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm just a farmer. Of course I have to buy seeds for planting in the autumn."
"Haha, classes have long since disappeared under the leadership of the party. Everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low occupations. Without farmers, there would be food for big bosses and leaders to eat. Everyone is glorious." The fat boss said on his face.
He had a smile on his face and looked quite happy.
Zhang Taiping was amused, not because of his cheerful face, but because of the words he said. He sat on the chair and said, "The boss is really a wonderful person."
"Haha, just for lunch." The smile on the fat boss's face became even brighter, and he gave Zhang Taiping a cup of tea.
Zhang Taiping took a sip of the tea. It was good enough to swallow. He put down the tea cup and said, "I wonder what kind of wheat seeds are in the store?"
Seeing that they were talking about business, the fat boss stopped the smile on his face and said seriously: "Almost all kinds of wheat seeds we grow here are available in the store. I wonder what kind of seeds do you want?"
Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter how good the output is, as long as the wheat grains are plump and the flour produced is of good quality."
When most people choose wheat seed varieties, they first consider the yield, because when the yield is high, the surplus grain can be used to sell money. Anyway, in the eyes of most people, no matter what kind of variety is ground, the noodles will be the same.
How much? But Zhang Taiping didn't expect to eat all the extra grain and sell it for money, so he didn't care about the quantity. Instead, he focused on the quality, in order to feel comfortable eating.
"If this requirement is met, 'Xiaoyan No. 22' is the most suitable. The yield of this variety is not very bad, but the quality of the ground noodles is definitely above the standard. There is absolutely no problem in eating cold noodles."
Generally, people measure the quality of noodles based on whether they can eat pulled noodles and cold noodles. This is because good flour and noodles are tough, and the pulled noodles are smooth and continuous. Another reason is that the cold noodles are not soaked when steamed.
Luo.
Zhang Taiping had also heard of this variety, but it was well received by many people, so he said: "Let's take this variety and get a hundred pounds."
Wheat as grain is sold for more than one yuan per catty, but as seed it is more than three yuan per catty. The price has more than tripled, but it is just this price. The three acres of land at home are at most
It only requires more than ten kilograms of seeds. Zhang Taiping bought so many to plant some in the space. The circle of land at the foot of the mountain and bordering the grassland in the space looks quite fertile, so planting some crops is not a waste.
"One hundred catties? OK! It seems that my brother is a big landowner, haha." The fat boss joked happily after hearing this.
Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't say anything. Judging from the land area he contracted in the village, he could only be regarded as a small landowner. Judging from the area of the land in the space, he was indeed worthy of the title of big landowner, but that was all
private land.
After weighing the wheat seeds, the fat boss asked again: "I wonder what kind of fertilizer Brother Zhang needs?"
Zhang Taiping wanted to say that he didn’t need any chemical fertilizers, but after thinking about it, he still asked for two bags of urea. He didn’t think about it before he thought that eating food grown with chemical fertilizers would be the most secure, but that could only be done in space.
The three acres of land outside must be fertilized so as not to look different. Even if the wheat in their own land grows better and has higher yields than others, people will only attribute it to the land itself and will not suspect that it is man-made.
"Oh, by the way, some more rice seeds." Zhang Taiping remembered that he was planning to build a few acres of paddy fields near the lake in the space.
"Brother Zhang is still planning to plant rice?" the fat boss said, but his hands were unambiguous.
Zhang Taiping nodded: "There is a small river in front of my house. There is enough water to cultivate a few acres of paddy fields. Planting rice yourself will save you from having to buy rice all the time, and you can't buy good quality rice."
"This is a fact. I don't know how the rice bought in the store is grown, and the quality is so poor that sometimes people can't eat it. It's better to feel safe and comfortable eating the food you grow yourself."
"The inevitable result of economic society." Zhang Taiping said casually.
The fat boss opened several bags and showed the seeds inside to Zhang Taiping. Each one had a brand with the words rice, fragrant rice and japonica rice respectively.
"There are not many people growing rice in our north, and rice seeds are not often sold, so I usually tie up this bag. You see which one you want first." The fat boss put up the sign inside and said, "I'll do it first.
Receive other guests."
Zhang Taiping picked up the rice grains in each bag with his hands and took a closer look. The seeds were plump and round and looked good. To be honest, although the fat boss looked like a chubby businessman, his business was pretty good.
To be honest, at least the seeds in the store are authentic and there are no fake or defective goods.
After the boss came over, Zhang Taiping pointed to three of the bags and said, "These three items weigh ten kilograms each."
They are rice, fragrant rice and japonica rice. Ordinary rice or japonica rice will suffice when eating. Japonica rice is most suitable for steaming cakes or making porridge.
The fat boss quickly packed the rice seeds for Zhang Taiping, and then asked: "Is there anything else you need?"
Zhang Taiping had already bought the things he wanted to buy. He remembered the things Cai Yazhi asked him to take with him and said, "Wait a minute, let me see." After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which listed what Cai Yazhi needed.
There were cilantro, lettuce and radish and cabbage seeds in the stuff. He said, "Put in four packets each of lettuce, cilantro, and radish and cabbage seeds."
"Did you give it to someone else?" the fat boss asked casually after taking out all the seeds.
"It's not for others, it's something my wife wants to buy." He said, raising the list in his hand.
After putting all the seeds in a bag, the fat boss saw that Zhang Taiping had nothing to buy, so he promoted it himself: "I also have some black wheat and black rice seeds here. I wonder if Brother Zhang is interested?"
After several previous contacts, he knew that Zhang Taiping was interested in some strange things.
"Oh? Take it out and take a look." Zhang Taiping was really interested, especially this black rice.
Black rice has a long history of cultivation and is an ancient and valuable rice variety in China. It is said that it was first discovered by Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago.
Every year after autumn, once the black rice matures, every family cooks porridge to try it. The rice soup is as black as ink and has a faint medicinal smell in the mouth, which is particularly refreshing and appetizing. Over time, people have rich experience in eating black rice.
.When cooking porridge, add Gastrodia elata and silver
Ear, lily, rock sugar, etc. are better than fine wine and jade liquid, and can be used as a good meal for guests. Patients with dizziness, dizziness, and anemia often eat it, and their symptoms are significantly reduced. It is especially suitable for the elderly with sore waists, weak knees, and weak limbs for dietary therapy. Therefore, black rice is also called "
It is known as “Medicine Rice”.
With modern scientific research, people have discovered that black rice contains mostly 1 to 3 times more inorganic salts such as manganese, zinc, and copper than rice; it also contains vitamin C, chlorophyll, anthocyanins, carotene, and cardiotonic substances that rice lacks.
Because of its special ingredients such as glycosides, black rice is more nutritious than ordinary rice.
Eating more black rice has the functions of appetizing and benefiting the heart, strengthening the spleen and warming the liver, improving eyesight and activating blood circulation, and smoothing and replenishing essence. It has a very good nourishing effect on young people with gray hair, women with postpartum weakness, physical weakness after illness, anemia, and kidney deficiency.
The fat boss was indeed interested when he saw Zhang Taiping. A flower bloomed on his face, and he went into the back hall and took out two bags.
Zhang Taiping first looked at the seeds of black rice, pinched them with his hands, and crushed the rice grains into pieces. The inside was also black. He put it under his nose and smelled it. There was no peculiar smell, so he confirmed that it was genuine black rice.
Although this kind of food is highly nutritious, its yield is low.
Ideal, so the market has always been in short supply, so some people are pretending to be ordinary rice. The simplest way is to dye it with dye, and the more clever way is to soak it with chemicals. Therefore, although I can trust the character of the fat boss, I still can't believe it.
Can't help but be on guard.
The fat boss didn't say anything about Zhang Taiping's behavior. He kept standing by with a smile. It wasn't until Zhang Taiping stood up that he said with a smile: "It's definitely genuine. The signboard of my shop is made with hard work."
After saving up, I will never do something like destroying the Great Wall. How about it, are you interested?"
Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Five pounds, maybe."
"Okay!" The fat boss immediately weighed it with a scale.
Generally, the rice that is eaten costs more than two yuan, and the seeds cost four or five yuan, but the seeds of this kind of black rice cost just twelve yuan a pound. And the yield is not high, not to mention it is in the north, so it is no wonder that these seeds are deposited in the store.
Come down.
As for black wheat seeds, Zhang Taiping is also planning to buy some.
The biggest function of triticale is to prolong life. It is called a miraculous longevity food and is also known as longevity wheat. As we all know, black crop products contain triticale pigments, which are highly nutritious, highly nourishing and highly immune.
The value of it has doubled. It is as effective as black sesame in treating gray hair in teenagers, and it also has a very good anti-cancer effect.
He picked up a handful with his hand and let it fall freely from the palm of his hand. The particles were full and glowing with black luster. They were indeed the best seeds. He said, "This will weigh ten kilograms."
After weighing, Zhang Taiping thought for a while. Since he had bought black rice and black wheat, he might as well buy some black sesame seeds. These are all good for the body.
So he asked: "Are there any black sesame seeds?"
Although these black things are rich in nutrients and valuable, not many people grow them, so black ones are rare.
The fat boss clicked his tongue and said: "Originally, there were still some, but a few days ago someone said it was for treating children's white hair, so he bought them all. If you want it, I will bring some back to you when I restock in two days.
.”
"Okay. Then bring back five kilograms." Zhang Taiping said.
Finally, the purchase was finished, and the total amount was nearly a thousand yuan. Zhang Taiping was happy to have bought what he needed, and the fat boss was equally happy to have sold so many things.
Finally, the fat boss stuffed the two packets of purple-heart radish seeds into the bag and said: "Brother Zhang has taken care of our store many times, so the two packets of radish seeds are a good match."
Zhang Taiping looked at the two packets of radish seeds. They were both newly developed varieties. Each packet cost more than ten yuan. Seeing that the fat boss was sincere, he did not refuse. He paid the money and put everything in one place.
Then he said: "I have to go shopping on the street to buy some other things. I will put these things here for now and pick them up later."
"Okay! You can come and pick it up anytime." The fat boss said with a smile.
ps: Please give me flowers!
