Chapter 155 How to Increase Corn Production
There is no way to leave any corn, because the fertile and best fields are used to grow rice, and the fields used to grow corn are basically medium-sized fields.
As for sweet potatoes, they are basically grown in inferior fields.
"How did the lady know this?" Did she go to the fields to plant the crops herself?
If Xu Ning knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "Congratulations, you got the answer right!"
Xu Ning has lived in the countryside since she was a child. There is nothing she doesn't know, not only farming, but also cooking and other rural-related tasks.
"It doesn't matter how I know it, boss. Don't you want to see two corns full of fruits hanging on a corn seedling?" The ancient corn was the white corn that Xu Ning used to feed pigs when he was a child.
For this kind of native corn, as long as more fertilizer is applied, it is common to produce not only two cobs, but even three cobs.
"This...Miss, if there is such a method, why should I sell the grain at such a high price?" The shopkeeper was excited and helpless. Everyone knew that the soil in the south was fertile, but the grain produced by the fertile soil was only a little better than that in the water-scarce north.
This is not only true for corn, but also for rice, a yield of three stone is considered high, otherwise the price of grain would not be so high.
"Don't we have sweet potatoes?" Xu Ning asked back.
"The price of sweet potatoes is not high, and they are easy to grow, but you can't plant too many sweet potatoes." The shopkeeper was hesitant to speak. Xu Ning thought of those people in Xianyu Village and thought it was another pirate disaster.
"Boss, don't worry, our marines have gone to suppress the pirates, and the pirates won't come again."
The shopkeeper didn't say anything else. After Xu Ning looked around at the grain, he found several kinds of vegetable seeds. Just at this time, the owner of the grain store arrived.
When the other party saw that Xu Ning, the person in charge, was actually a little girl, they were surprised for a moment but did not look down on her, and the group returned to the room.
"My surname is Hai, with the courtesy name Qing. I'm the owner of the Hailu Grain Store. May I know your name, young lady?" Hai Qing was a very young man, who looked to be less than 20 years old. He was dressed in silk and spoke politely. Xu Ning had a good impression of him at first sight.
"Xu Ning."
"Miss Xu, I have already told you your request. I want to confirm with you again. You want to get at least 100 dan of grain from the grain station every month, right?"
"The future will only be possible if the first cooperation is pleasant," Xu Ning reminded.
Hai Qing smiled slightly, "Don't worry, young lady. You have shown such great sincerity, and I am not an ungrateful person. Miss Xu, let's put it this way. I will only charge you 500 taels for this first batch of grain. Except for rice and flour, you can only take 10 dan. You can choose any other. If you are satisfied, the price can be based on this price each time."
"Boss Hai gave up such a big profit, maybe he has other purposes." Xu Feng was stunned when he heard that his second sister had lowered the price by half. Old Mrs. Xu was also a little surprised, but they didn't show it to disturb her.
"That's right. I just overheard your conversation with the shopkeeper. I'm very interested in the method you mentioned (one stalk of corn and two cobs). If you're willing, I can buy it. You can name the price."
Oh, where did this rich sucker come from? She would be sorry if she didn’t rip him off.
"Are you willing to buy it at any price I tell you?"
"Miss, why don't you make an offer?" Oh, you're not afraid that the method is fake? In this case...
"I want 100 million!"
