  Chapter 604 Basket full of melons and vegetables

The loofahs in the greenhouse are very long, and the melon stand is two meters high, so most of the loofahs are still almost hanging on the ground. Originally, the loofahs were the long varieties selected in the backyard. Now they have been cultivated in the greenhouse and grow even longer. Long, slender and long, it seems to be countless green branches hanging down from the shelf.

   "Come on, come on, take a picture of me" Wu Yong handed over his phone and gestured at Jian Heng.

   Jian Heng took the phone and took a picture for him.

After taking the photo, Jian Heng remembered something and said to Wu Yong: "When we were in Los Angeles two days ago, we happened to meet a fat man when we went to eat. His store used chickens from the biological company. This fat man actually You recognize me, let He Ye and I help you talk about it."

  He Ye immediately picked himself out of it after hearing this: "I recognized you, but not me, so don't get me involved in this matter, and besides, he just opened his mouth and asked, is it appropriate?"

  Jian Heng smiled and said, "He gave away a dish for nothing, and the taste is not bad. Don't you eat with greasy food?"

Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "I really can't do anything about it, the current quantity is not enough to go, and your chicken is really evil, it can't be locked up, I want to lock it up like a normal chicken Feed, all will be sick within a week, and then do whatever you want, no one will survive without eating or drinking. So this chicken not only needs to be managed, but also has to have a place for them to forage and eat insects , preferably live worms, and now the biological company has opened a group to scientifically raise worms, so it has to be ecological breeding, otherwise the eggs laid by the chickens will immediately have a fishy smell... ".

  As soon as the chicken was mentioned, Wu Yong suddenly complained to Jian Heng like a machine gun.

   "Is it so difficult?"

Jian Heng didn't believe it, because the chickens he ordered almost didn't feed anything. Every day Huang Xiaodong got up and opened the chicken coop door, and then cleaned the chicken coop with a cleaning truck. Just close it, don't count or count, I haven't been short of a chicken for a long time, and I haven't starved to death.

   "How many chickens do you have in such a big place?" Wu Yong glanced at Jian Heng, and continued to explain: "Don't tell me, this chicken is really giving me a headache."

  Jian Heng listened and said: "Since this is the case, let's stop raising chickens when the cattle become large-scale, and concentrate on raising cattle." Jian Heng said immediately when he saw Wu Yong's hard work.

  Hearing Jian Heng's words, Wu Yong immediately felt as if someone had stuck his neck, and suddenly he was stuck there.

He Ye couldn't help laughing, and reminded Jian Heng, "You've misunderstood it. This kid is half complaining, and half asking for credit. If you tell him not to raise this chicken, he will probably stab someone with a knife now. You You must have never read the accounts of the biological company this year? If you have read it, you would not say that.”

Wu Yong came to his senses, picked up his thick hat, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's still necessary to raise it. Although it's a bit harder, who can feel sorry for the money? I'm still thinking about expanding the scale. And then exported to the country."

"Look? Didn't you say that the biological company is still losing money? Although it's not much, it seems to have lost 200,000 or 300,000?" Jian Heng really didn't think much of it, Jian Heng What I believe is my own accountant and the accounting firm I hired, and I don’t need him to pay, so naturally I have no interest in looking at the accounts.

"Sure enough, someone who doesn't read the accounts!" He Ye stretched out his hand and nodded Jian Heng before continuing: "How much money did the biological company spend this year? You know that although the breeding company only has chickens as its income, it still supports it. Cattle breeding, as well as staff salaries, are only a loss of about 300,000 yuan, so you know that raising chickens is a very profitable business.”

   "Is there such a profit?" Jian Heng asked.

  Wu Yong said: "When everything is settled, there will be more next year. I plan to rent a medium-sized ranch in California and New York State, all of which will be used to raise chickens. By this time next year, everyone's dividends will be leveraged."

   Having said this, Wu Yong's face became bitter again: "It's a pity that this money will be distributed to others next year."

   "Don't be stingy, they have money for us to share with us, and we won't suffer if we come and go," Jian Heng said.

   "But our prospects are great." Wu Yong was still a bit reluctant to part with the shares of the biological company.

   "We can make it to this scale, and with their help, we can make it several times in the same time," Jian Heng laughed.

Whether it is a large or small so-called consortium or trust in the United States, the core is almost all banks. They provide not only loans but also market information and other services for their affiliated companies. It is not only It is an entity, and it is also a large aggregate. It is like a heart to support and make profits for all its related companies. Of course, its profits are also amazing.

  Wu Yong was just saying that. In fact, he also knew that if he hadn't given up his shares, he wouldn't be able to propose the ambitious New York and Los Angeles expansion plan next year. Saying this is nothing more than a little distressed. He is very happy when he divides money from others, but he is naturally unhappy when others share his money.

   "Going off topic, off topic again." He Ye suddenly came to his senses, pointed at the two of them and said.

   "That's right, picking melons!" Wu Yong also patted his head when he heard this.

  Jian Heng shrugged his shoulders: "Tell me, what do you want to eat, as long as you have it here, you can pick whatever you want."

   "Here comes a wax gourd, loofah also comes root, fry a loofah scrambled eggs" Wu Yong opened his mouth and said.

"Winter melon can be picked, but it's fine to eat it at noon. Keep it for you to take away at night. This winter melon is enough for the whole ranch to eat. The five of us can't eat it even if we add Pooh who is open to eat." , not to mention that Pooh doesn't like to eat winter melon anymore," Jian Heng said immediately.

  He Ye said: "Then take it away?"

   "Are you impolite?" Wu Yong laughed.

  Jian Heng said indifferently: "It's just a winter melon."

   "Let's go, let's see if he has any good things here." Wu Yong walked in with a burst of excitement as he said.

After watching winter melon and loofah, it is not surprising that radishes are like radishes. Although a red radish is twice as big as a normal radish, it is too far behind winter melon in terms of body shape. It is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the two. .

   When Jian Heng arrived, he picked up a radish and held it in his hand. This is a good time to eat radish, how can we say that winter radish is better than ginseng. Putting the radish in the mutton just removes the smell and oil.

   "Has this grown?"

After visiting this greenhouse, he walked into another one along the connecting road. At first sight, Wu Yong took a fancy to the tender green chicken feathers. The small vegetables were watery, with a little golden yellow in the green, as if they had just emerged from the ground. The tender buds are average, and Wu Yong fell in love with them immediately.

   "When it grows up, if you want it, there are scissors and blueberries over there. You can cut it yourself. Don't cut too much by a catty or two. There are plenty of things to eat here," Jian Heng said.

  Seeing a tool table by the wall, there are several bamboo baskets stacked on top of each other, and three or four pairs of scissors are placed beside it, so I ran over, picked up the basket and scissors, and started working.

  He Ye looked up and scanned the greenhouse, and saw five or six kinds of vegetables here, all of which are home-cooked, except for the small chicken feathers, there are eggplants, lentils, long beans and broad beans.

   "Can broad beans be eaten?"

   Jian Heng nodded and replied: "Yes, you want to eat?"

   "When I saw this, I remembered the salt water broad beans I ate before. Let's get some for lunch, add some salt and stew with fragrant leaves and star anise," He Ye said.

   Jian Heng saw that He Ye really wanted to eat it, so he nodded, took a basket and two pairs of scissors and took He Ye to cut broad beans together.

  After about half the basket was cut, the two of them stopped. Looking at Wu Yong's side, almost half of the basket of feather vegetables had been cut. Seeing that this product was still going to be cut, Jian Heng stopped him immediately.

"That's enough, I can't finish three meals! Take the rest away. This stuff won't last long, it's too tender. Even if it's kept fresh in the refrigerator, it can last up to two days. If you don't eat it, it will rot." Jian Heng explained.

Some vegetables in the greenhouse are easy to store. For example, as long as the wax gourd is not cut open, it can survive until the beginning of spring. After cutting it, it can be placed for five or six days. However, it is best to eat chicken feathers and cut them immediately. It's worse.

   Just like this, the three of them went around in a circle, and directly made two full baskets of vegetables. This meal is uneatable, and most of them have to be brought back by Wu Yong in the afternoon.

Of course, two baskets of vegetables don’t count as big winter melons and three or four loofahs. These things can’t fit in three baskets together, like winter melons, there is no way to hold them, they are all cut off with knives and then transported by a small trailer. in the car.
