The young widow who inherited her dead husband's estate (Thirty-seven)
After this batch of vegetables was sent out, Song Ning and Lance hired someone to collect almost all the vegetables in the field.
"Brother, if my ability is so useful, should we consider planting it in batches? This way it won't be so embarrassing."
Song Ning meant that vegetables are harvested within a certain period of time and sold in a relatively concentrated period of time, which makes it difficult to do business properly.
Lance nodded, "And you can consider harvesting more crops. Your ability is very useful. As long as we apply enough fertilizer, the quality of the vegetables will not be bad."
Instead of growing crops that can only yield one crop, it is better to grow crops like tomatoes.
Song Ning thought about it and realized that it was true.
"But white radish seems to be pretty good too, with a high yield, and I see everyone likes it very much."
He was a little confused.
Lance smiled and said, "Then just plant the white radishes in batches. It won't be a big problem."
Song Ning thought about it and agreed.
"Then why don't we grow some peppers later? It seems quite suitable, and I see a lot of people asking us if we have any."
"Okay, then let's buy some more peppers to plant. Have you decided what kind to plant?"
Lance naturally had no objection, but instead asked considerately.
"Well, let's plant local varieties."
Song Ning didn't worry too much about it. After all, it was his ability that affected the quality of the vegetables, but it didn't mean that he was already a mature farmer.
It would be more suitable for him to choose some plants that are not so difficult to plant.
Lance agreed with his idea, but after thinking about it, he asked again.
"I saw you put fish and shrimp fry in the fish pond over there?"
Song Ning: "Well, I thought it would be a waste if we didn't use the pond."
"Why don't you plant some more lotus? I think you really liked the fried lotus stems we ate in the city this time."
Anyway, I have a pond at home, so it’s easy to grow some lotus.
Lance suggested.
However, Song Ning couldn't help but look at his overly handsome eyebrows and eyes, and felt a little sad in his heart.
How come this person even noticed this?
And the suggestion he made specifically was just because he ate a few more bites of lotus stems?
"But the fried lotus stems are really delicious."
Although Song Ning was moved, he was also tempted.
"Then I'll ask someone to buy some lotus seeds later."
Lance followed suit and made the decision.
The cabbages planted in the fields were of the highest quality, but because we didn’t expect them to mature and be harvested so soon in the early stages, although several batches of cabbages were unexpectedly delivered to customers, only a small amount was sold.
At that time, Song Ning planted a total of two acres of cabbage. Excluding some they sold, they still had more than 4,000 kilograms of cabbage.
After Song Ning and Lance discussed the cabbages, they decided to harvest them and store them in the cellar.
However, it was really difficult for two people to handle more than 4,000 kilograms of cabbage. After checking, they found that there were similar machines for sale.
But when he saw the price, Song Ning hesitated again.
"This one will cost tens of thousands of yuan, but we may not grow cabbages again in the future, so why not just forget it?"
But Lance could see that he just wanted to save money.
He felt a little helpless. He had prepared so many things just to make Song Ning's life easier, but in the end it had the opposite effect.
The two of them struggled for a long time, but unexpectedly the problem was solved by Dong Dafu who suddenly arrived.
"You are short of manpower? Then would you consider hiring some people with special abilities? The kind that can sign a confidentiality agreement?"
When Dong Dafu heard about Song Ning's troubles, he immediately became interested.
Song Ning was a little surprised, "What do you mean by that?"
"It means exactly what it says. Oh, this is a long story."
Dong Dafu hadn't even started work yet, but he started talking incessantly to Song Ning about his troubles.
It turns out that they are in a very difficult situation now.
In the beginning, because the spiritual energy recovered too quickly and there was a shortage of manpower, the department basically recruited whoever they found to set up a pit.
"Although it's not that easy, but at that time, as long as the ability was useful and there was no problem with the background check, they would basically be recruited."
"Isn't that what I did then? The benefits were good, the salary was high, and I didn't have to go out on field work. How comfortable it was. Now, such a job is hard to get."
Dong Dafu felt a little sympathetic when he talked about it. Fortunately, his ability was special enough, otherwise he might have been replaced by someone else.
"Didn't you say at that time that you were still short of people? Why did you change your mind so suddenly?"
Song Ning was a little confused.
Isn’t this change a bit too fast?
"Well, first of all, the official response was indeed quick, and secondly, the speed of spiritual energy recovery was faster than we imagined!"
Dong Dafu still feels scared when he talks about this.
Who would believe it? Last week he looked at people with that kind of faint fluorescent light, but this week he looked at people with their own aura!
There was one who was so awesome that he almost blinded his eyes!
The man was taken away by Lieutenant General Zhang on the spot. I heard that he was a former subordinate of Lieutenant General Zhang. After he retired from the army due to injury, he noticed something abnormal in himself and took the initiative to contact Lieutenant General Zhang.
Unexpectedly, he was taken back on the spot to continue his work.
"Anyway, in general, the recovery speed has accelerated, and everyone's awakening speed has also accelerated."
Dong Dafu sighed, "It's just that our country's reaction speed is fast enough and we have enough manpower. If you read the foreign news, you will know that the outside world is in chaos now. Some messed-up organizations have rushed out and said that they have some ability and are more powerful than God. They want everyone to believe in them and follow them to have a good life."
"Some are even more outrageous, saying that the world is about to end and that instead of suffering unknown pain, we should all hold hands and rush to death together. Ugh! You can tell at a glance that they are not good people."
Song Ning was indeed shocked when he heard this. In order to farm well, he had been watching all agriculture-related videos recently and had never paid attention to these things.
But soon he began to understand what Dong Dafu meant.
"So because the outside world is so chaotic right now, many awakened people want to join the official ranks, right?"
Dong Dafu gave a thumbs up in the air.
"Smart, that's what I mean. But now the official attitude is also very clear. Now everyone who comes in must be carefully screened and carefully selected."
"Let alone them, those of us who came here first also have to study harder and work harder, otherwise we might lose our jobs. I am considered lucky and special, so I won't lose my job anytime soon."
"But there are many newcomers who are not good enough or can't reach that standard. You know, you need to take an exam for this position now. I think instead of dealing with unstable machines, you should just pick from these people and sign a confidentiality agreement. It will be much more convenient."
