"In addition to the lines I just mentioned, also look at the watermelon vine. That's the top part of the watermelon."
Su He smiled and explained to a few people, and did some popular science.
“When choosing sweet watermelons, we can also choose according to the color of the melon vines. If the head of the melon vine is dark green, it is the best.
Because the greener the watermelon vine, the fresher it is;
In addition, watermelons with curved vines will be much sweeter than watermelons with straight vines.
However, if the watermelon vine is yellow or even dry, this is the so-called "ayahuasca melon". If you see this kind of watermelon, just skip it. "
Ayahuasca melons are watermelons that have been stored for a long time, even if they were sweet before.
At this point, problems may also arise as the watermelon continues to grow.
Like overcooked.
Or it's broken.
Most people like watermelon to be crispy.
If it is overcooked, it will easily become gritty and become less delicious.
At least the taste is affected.
"The other thing is to look at the melon navel.
For ripe melons, the navel is sunken, but for immature watermelons, the navel does not have a slightly sunken shape.
Let's look at the vine of a mature watermelon. It is also slightly sunken around it, and the umbilicus and vine are deeper.
If the surrounding area is full, then we can determine that the melon is most likely a mature melon. "
Xiao Qingrong was shocked and showed an expression that she didn't know how to describe: "I just choose a melon, so troublesome?"
Su He smiled and said: "Everything has its own rules. In fact, you can also look at the weight, tap the watermelon and listen to the sound."
"We put the watermelon on the table and tap it lightly with our fingers. We should pay attention to the sound of the watermelon. If the sound is muffled, it means that the watermelon is not too mature yet.
It may also be a half-ripe melon, which is not too sweet.
If the watermelon makes a crisp "dong-dong" sound, then it is a ripe melon.
Another thing to note is that when the rind of a ripe watermelon is flicked, the watermelon will tremble slightly when you hold it.
After all, the flesh inside a mature melon is moderately plump and hard, and the transmitted vibrations are obvious. "
“If several watermelons are similar in size and equally fresh, it is recommended to choose the lighter one.
Because heavier means the watermelon has a higher water content, which also means the sugar content is diluted.
If they come from the same place of origin, choose the lighter ones to ensure you pick sweet watermelons.
The lighter the watermelon is, the better. If it is too light, it may be overripe, and the texture and taste of the watermelon will be greatly reduced. "
"As long as you master these points, you can easily choose a watermelon that suits your own taste."
Sheng Yuqiu stuck out her tongue: "It's too troublesome. If you have to choose watermelon like this, you might as well not eat it."
Su He looked at Sheng Yuqiu dotingly and said, "You don't have to choose yourself. Just tell me what you want to eat and I will arrange it for you."
Su He's words made Sheng Yuqiu blush.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Sheng Wenyang was a little annoyed. He felt that Su He looked down on his sister.
How dare you tease your sister like this in front of him.
If he were no longer here, wouldn't he want to go to heaven and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?
Xiao Qingrong clicked her tongue and said, "Yes. Not only will I choose for you, but I will also deliver it to your door."
These words made Sheng Yuqiu blush even more, like a ripe apple.
"You're gone, why don't you look at other lands?"
Xiao Qingrong accepted it as soon as she could, and joked that it didn't matter to Sheng Yuqiu.
She saw Su He, this guy was probably going to fight back soon.
If she keeps talking, it will be even more troublesome for Su He to undermine her and Sheng Wenyang's words.
When will this straight man be cured of cancer?
At this moment, an aunt who was watering water came over and asked, "By the way, are you the ones who have seen the land before and want to rent it?"
Someone struck up a conversation with her, so Sheng Yuqiu couldn't help but leave directly.
Just when she was about to speak, Su He took the lead and said, "Yes, but we haven't decided yet whether to rent it or not. We still need to look at a few other places and see the prices and so on."
This piece of land, barely speaking, is pretty good.
Not far from the main road, transportation is very convenient.
In addition, there is a small river nearby. Although the water flow is not very large, it is continuous, which is very convenient for watering at least.
If you water it entirely with tap water, it will be a bit troublesome.
Even if he participated in the research and took out the nutrient solution.
But water is still indispensable.
Soilless cultivation does not mean waterless cultivation.
Without water, plants cannot grow.
After hearing what Su He said, the aunt immediately started asking around enthusiastically.
"This piece of land is very good, and it's very fertile. Look, how good are the vegetables I planted? I'm telling you, if you want to rent land, just rent it with me. I'm in the village If you have something to do, the village chief is my uncle and can give it to you at a low price."
Su He dealt with it for a while and then said he wanted to go see other places.
After finally leaving, Sheng Yuqiu asked: "Aren't you going to rent this piece of land? I think it's not bad. If you can get a low price, that's not bad."
Su He shook his head: "There's something wrong with this aunt. She's too enthusiastic, and if you charge a low price, it's easy for someone to take advantage of you. If someone gets the advantage later and wants to raise the price, it's going to be too troublesome."
The price they paid for the land at the beginning went through the back door, and they made money later.
It's hard for this aunt to say that she won't hold them back on this point.
Su He is fine, but Sheng Yuqiu's status is not suitable for him.
If she gets involved, it's easy to get the Sheng family involved.
Su He would rather pay more than have more trouble.
Money is something you spend when you earn it.
Although no amount of money can be spent.
There is always something more expensive.
However, there are also ways to have no money.
If you have more money, it’s just a number.
Sometimes when I look at my savings, I see a little more vanity.
Sheng Wenyang nodded secretly. Su He showed his stability by doing this.
And what Sheng Yuqiu didn't think of, he also thought of.
Even if Su He only thinks about the Sheng family now, this is still advisable.
It is not good for the Sheng family to get involved with these things, and it is easy for the old man to get into trouble.
Su He said: "The aunt asked a lot of insidious questions just now, and there was something wrong with her eyes. Everything here is pretty good, but getting involved with such a person is a big problem. There will be thunder in the future. "
In addition to what Su He was worried about before, this person himself had problems.
If something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome.
Price increases or something like that are a big problem.
There are also locals, if they insist on coming to eat and ask for cards, it is difficult to avoid it.
Therefore, all these aspects must be taken into consideration.
Su He crushed it into pieces and told Sheng Yuqiu again.
Although he was determined to solve all the problems by himself, he still had to talk to Sheng Yuqiu.
Being simple does not mean that you cannot be sensible.
It's too simple, and it's easy for things to go wrong.
"The other conditions of this land are quite good, and it's not too rugged. It's quite flat. It's also close to the main road. If the conditions are right, we can really win it. It's a pity." Sheng Yuqiu didn't understand anything. Su He explained it, and she could understand it.
It's just a pity.
Su He shook his head: "There are many suitable places, we just have to look for them. In fact, there are not no problems here."
"oh?"
"First of all, this aunt is the biggest problem. Greedy people are the most difficult to guard against. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? Although it is said that you cannot judge a person by his appearance, you can basically determine it. ."
"Besides, this piece of land is too close to the main road. When the time comes, the main road here will be repaired, and there will be more private cars. Or there will be more trains, and it will be prone to dust pollution. This thing is also harmful to our farm. Influence."
"Dust can block plant stomata and cause leaf hypoxia. Dust can block light and affect plant photosynthesis, causing poor growth or even death."
"Dust contains a large number of microorganisms, which can easily breed bacteria when accumulated on the surface of plants, causing plant diseases."
Su He gave some reasons to let Sheng Yuqiu know that not everything here was good.
Therefore, if you really want to build a farm, you still have to find a place far away from the traffic of people and horses.
Why were some high-end farms in later generations located in the mountains?
That's the reason.
As they spoke, they were already on the road.
Su He said on the way: "Wherever you go next, you have to guard the car. Be careful."
There are a lot of things in the car. If something happens, it will be a bit troublesome.
Yu Tu stopped talking, Su He said with a smile: "My own strength is not bad. Besides, in broad daylight, there will be no problem."
Drive to the next place.
Sheng Wenyang was still thinking in his mind that this Su He felt like his grandfather, who always brought bodyguards with him wherever he went.
His grandfather did it because of his status, but what about Su He?
Well, Su He has money, so he really needs to be careful.
Next, they walked to several places, but they were all somewhat similar.
Finally, Su He set his sights on the last piece of land.
"This piece of land is good. It is close to this mountain. We can negotiate with the village in the future. After we open up this piece of land, we will also contract this mountain to us. Maybe we can also turn it into a villa and do some free-range farming. There are free-range chickens and free-range ducks. In addition, you can also raise some rabbits here.”
"rabbit?"
Sheng Yuqiu was a little strange: "I remember that rabbits can dig holes. Can we also do free-range rabbits?"
Su He nodded: "Actually, rabbits can dig holes, so it's not difficult to prevent them. Even if rabbits dig holes, they won't dig very long holes. Take good protection, circle the mountain, and put the rabbit inside, and there will be no problem. Yes. Every day, we catch some rabbits regularly and they can be bred."
"In order to prevent rabbits from getting in the fence net. In this way, you can effectively prevent rabbits from digging holes or jumping out."
Su He briefly talked about it, and then went to a nearby village with Sheng Yuqiu to learn about the situation with the village chief.
The contracting fees here are relatively low, only seven yuan per acre per year. For the time being, a few yuan is still a lot. Seven yuan per year is not too much, but it is not too little.
This place is relatively remote. Although it is said to belong to the imperial capital, it is too far from the city.
Coupled with the inconvenient transportation, the income of the villagers here is actually not high.
The rent per acre is seven yuan a year, which is not cheap.
Su He immediately rented 30 acres of it, and there will be another 30 acres in the future. After the first phase of 30 acres is completed, the contract will be started.
This may take a while.
Then there is the mountain behind, which is also written into the contract.
In the future, the part of the mountain that Su He wants to contract will be included in the later development.
Developed one after another in order to save some money.
Su He was not very short of money. The cost of seven yuan per acre of land per year was actually not much.
Su He is fully capable of taking it out.
But first of all, this is a farm jointly opened with Sheng Yuqiu, so Sheng Yuqiu needs to save some money.
Sheng Yuqiu didn't like to take money from home very much, but she had a lot of money in her hand. If she paid the fee all at once, there would still be a certain amount of pressure.
In addition, Su He is willing to pay more rent.
But he is not a fool and cannot give the village the feeling that he can be easily bullied.
This can avoid a lot of trouble.
Su He is a person who doesn't like trouble very much.
The previous piece of land was very good and suitable for development.
In this era, there are still relatively few cars.
Private cars are not yet eligible for purchase.
You don’t have to worry about so many dust hazards.
There, you can recover your capital more efficiently.
But Su He still gave up there.
It was because of that aunt that Su He felt in trouble.
Su He didn't know that the aunt had been waiting for him to contract the land after she returned.
She also had the idea of giving a low price first.
If you make money in the future, you can ask Su He to increase the price.
But he didn't know that Su He should have seen through her true face.
So I gave up that piece of land and instead chose a more desolate piece of land.
We even need to recruit people to open up wasteland.
At noon, the village chief wanted to keep Su He for a meal.
This large piece of land belongs to the village.
The rent is also given to the village.
This provides them with a lot of rent in the village.
If these sixty acres of land are developed, we will get our money back.
Su He also plans to contract the barren mountain behind, and even the trees on the mountain. He can also contact the forestry department and the village to cut down all the trees.
Those trees belong to the forestry department and the village.
Su He didn't want any money.
When the time comes, he will get some landscape trees, some fruit trees, grape vines, etc., and replant them.
The development here cannot be completed in a short time.
However, Su He rejected the other party's invitation.
Su He brought a lot of ingredients himself and planned to have a picnic in the wild.
Sheng Wenyang said: "Why don't you agree to come down? It's almost dinner time."
Su He said: "Make it more delicious by yourself. We finally have a vacation, so we can have a picnic."
Sheng Wenyang had no doubts about Su He's cooking skills.
He just thought: "Where do we have kitchen utensils and so on?"
Su He said: "Kitchenware is very easy. Even if you don't have kitchenware, it is actually easy to make. Many things can be made without kitchenware."
He asked Yu Tu to take out the things, a big box, and there was still a bit of cold air around it.
This is because there are ice cubes inside, although he can take things out from the portable storage.
But in order to hide from others, we still have to find this kind of box and store some vegetables.
In addition, there are some iron buckets and the like that can be used as stoves.
Some bowls, chopsticks and the like are very complete.
"You have already planned this."
"No, I am just in case, preparing for a rainy day. In fact, all the driver classes under my company do this. They can also eat hot food outside."
