Chapter 686 681. Yang Bingcheng's ambition
The words "Call me Brother Luo" erased the estrangement of more than a year.
Yang Bingcheng shouted loudly on the phone: "Brother Luo."
Luo Yihang readily agreed, very happy, and asked with concern: "How is your mother?"
Speaking of this, Yang Bingcheng was happy and answered cheerfully, "Thank you, Brother Luo. My mother is much better. She can walk slowly. I bought her a wheelchair. She can walk slowly to the yard to bask in the sun with the help of the wheelchair. She can also walk around the village and sit when she is tired. She doesn't have to lie in bed every day. She feels much better when she can go out. The doctor said that she has recovered very well. Several indicators have recovered and several types of medicine have been reduced. She can go for a follow-up visit every three months. After another six months, if there is no recurrence, she can go to the hospital for a check-up once a year. The doctor said that by then, she will basically be cured."
Even if I can't see their faces, I can feel their happiness just from their tone.
All we want in life is three meals a day, enough food and warm clothes, and the health of our parents.
Yang Bingcheng's family has finally managed to get out of this situation.
Luo Yihang felt very relieved, and asked Yang Bingcheng how his father and sister were, and whether he was still working three jobs every day.
As we chatted, we drifted further and further away.
It took Luo Yihang a long time to remember that Yang Bingcheng probably didn't call to chat about family matters.
"Oh, by the way, what's the matter with you calling today?"
"Brother Luo, I've got you to hear that I have something to do. Your company's sugar-coated sweet potatoes should also be grown to expand the trial planting area." Yang Bingcheng smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Luo Yihang didn't care and smiled, "Yes, the next step is to test the planting in this area. Do you want to do it?"
"Yes, I want to do it." Yang Bingcheng was very frank, "and I am a little ambitious. I want to follow in your footsteps and find a way to get rich. I don't have much ability, so I want to start with my village and get rid of the label of a poor village."
Good thing.
Luo Yihang smiled and said, "This road is difficult, do you have a plan?"
"Yes." Yang Bingcheng said confidently, "This is what I planned. Please allow me to tell you from the beginning..."
This time we start from the beginning, really from the very beginning.
Since last summer, Yang Bingcheng's family seized the opportunity by planting Xiaoman No. 1, and their life has finally gotten back on track. The money for his mother's medicine is finally no longer a problem.
Then in winter, as trials of growing peas in special areas began and conventional peas came on the market, pea prices plummeted.
His family was also inevitably affected.
Interestingly, a large part of the data during the preparation for planting in the special area was carefully recorded by his family and his sister.
Then, last winter, there was the vigorous campaign of using food to support farmers, and peas became popular across the country.
Foodies across the country and people from all walks of life have worked together to stabilize the price of green peas.
As winter turned to spring, the price of peas did not increase much.
Yang Bingcheng's family grows seven acres of peas and can earn about four thousand yuan a month.
At this point, Luo Yihang did a simple calculation and found that his family's pea yield was about 200 kilograms per mu, and the purchase price at the farm was about one to one dollar and fifty cents.
Excluding costs, one acre can earn about 7,000 yuan a year. As long as it can tie down a laborer, this income is neither low nor high. It is similar to that of ordinary vegetable farmers and is enough to maintain life.
The first-mover bonus period is gradually disappearing. The price of peas will certainly fall in the future, and then we need to increase production by improving technology, or improve quality by intensive cultivation, and make up for it by focusing on quantity or quality.
However, there will never be the days when we could earn more than 50,000 yuan in two months at 6 yuan per pound like in the beginning.
Then Yang Bingcheng said that when he went there with Ling Tongjie before, he suggested planting 50 kilograms of earthworms per acre to improve the soil.
Old man Yang remembered this, and when the technicians from the agricultural technology station came, he begged them to take him to find out which type of earthworms was best.
Then when I had nothing to do, I would go to the mountains to dig them up and put them in my own fields.
I also learned the skill of making fertilizer, dug a fermentation pool, and collected old pea vines and fallen leaves from the mountains, fermented them into fertilizer, and spread them in the fields.
After a few months, Old Man Yang had been taught to become a technical expert.
During the Chinese New Year, Yang Bingcheng came back from vacation and invited technicians from the Agricultural Technology Station to survey his fields.
After testing, it was found that after several rounds of pea nitrogen fixation, earthworms to improve the soil, and fermented fertilizer to increase organic matter, their own fields have been upgraded from the original sixth-level fields with low fertility and poor drainage and irrigation to fourth-level fields with certain fertility and average drainage, but still able to support the normal growth of crops.
It is precisely because of this condition.
I also discovered what Luo Yihang meant in his live broadcast.
He immediately had two ideas.
One is that in their own fields, pea pods and sugar pods are rotated according to the seasons. Pea pods fix nitrogen, while sugar pods are consumed. This can not only reduce costs but also catch up with the early high price of sugar pods.
Second, he wanted to spread his family's experience to the village, so that the whole village could work together to transform the barren land and increase income.
Third, Tang Dundun also needs to conduct planting experiments in special areas. His family meets the requirements, just like Wan Doudian, providing reference data for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
This is what Yang Bingcheng wants to do.
Although he said that he had big ambitions, he actually operated step by step in a down-to-earth manner. He did not make big talk by saying that he would build hundreds or thousands of acres of land, turn it into an industrial base, and increase the output value by billions.
Luo Yihang laughed even happier after listening to this, but he didn't show it in his voice. Instead, he solemnly warned: "Your idea is very good, but in actual operation, you will encounter many difficulties. Lack of understanding, lack of support, some people are diligent, some are lazy, and who gets more and who gets less after making a profit, all of these are problems."
"I'm not afraid." Yang Bingcheng answered solemnly, "I've already thought about it. The sweet potatoes here are planted before the beginning of autumn, so there are still a few months. I plan to go back and do the work door to door during the summer vacation. I will also ask the comrades in the county's poverty alleviation office for help. I will be a senior next year, and there will be less work, so I can come back often. At worst, I can do it at my own home first and set an example for the village."
Ha, you know how to find someone and leave a way out. That’s good, you have an idea.
"You can keep it a secret and let them find out about it without telling the villagers first." Luo Yihang casually gave a bad idea.
Yang Bingcheng was quite smart, "So you agree?"
"My promise doesn't count. You should apply to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences yourself. If they agree, it means they agree." Luo Yihang said with a smile.
Just like last time, Luo Yihang set a threshold for Yang Bingcheng. This time, he didn't even throw the rope, and he had to walk it all on his own.
Find a way to get rich.
Good things, really good things...
