1302. Homegrown vegetables
The pumpkin field is not large, only one and a half acres. Qin Shigu grows pumpkins just to celebrate Halloween. There are not many people in the fishing grounds, and dozens of pumpkins are enough.
It is not easy for the teenagers to do work like this. There are a lot of weeds in one and a half acres of vegetable fields. Gordon sweats heavily in it. After working for a while, he looked up and saw, Damn, why did he do such a little?
Xiao Shaq waved his hoe and loosened the soil. Nelson passed by and saw him waving his hoe quickly and said, "Do it well, boy, you can wield your hoe well. In the future, you will definitely be able to use it if you go to high school and college."
Xiao Shaq raised his head silly and asked, "Shete, do you still have to loosen the soil when you go to high school and college? Then I would rather be a fisherman, I wouldn't want to be a farmer!"
Nelson was speechless and shook his head: "As long as you swing the hoe well and can't dig it up without a corner, you have never heard of this sentence?"
Xiao Shaq was even more surprised: "Sher, after going to high school and college, I still have to do construction work? Then I'm still willing to be a fisherman."
"You just wait to be your single dog." Nelson said with a grudge.
Like other melon vegetables, pumpkins need very strong roots to absorb moisture and nutrients. Otherwise, the melons will grow very slowly after the pumpkin grows in the future.
Therefore, the process of fertilizing the soil of Xiao Shaq and Crackenson in the future is very important. Fortunately, these two calves are both experts in work. Qin Shiou followed behind and looked at it. If there was no problem, he went to help Shirley and Michelle pruned the branches and vines.
Now when the pumpkin vines are pruned and vines are pruned, the branches and leaves are too strong, which can easily lead to the transformation of melons.
Qin Shiou taught the two to remove the vines at the top and leave the vines on the side vines. Let them grow horizontally so that a pumpkin seedling can grow more pumpkins.
The teenagers worked half an afternoon to finish the work of a pumpkin field. They were sweating all over, covered with weeds and grass leaves and soil, just like mud monkeys.
He walked out with a breath. Just as Gordon was about to complain, Qin Shiou took out his wallet and handed the money over. Suddenly, several young men's eyes shone and threw the grievances that had been preparing for half an afternoon into the sky.
The rest of the work is watering, and Qin Shiou drove the water truck over. This work is extremely simple. The water truck in the fishing ground is modified with a water cannon and is specially used to water the huge vineyard. The area covered by spraying exceeds half acre of land at one time, which means that the machine can start at full strength. The pumpkin field can be watered in just half a minute.
Qin Shiou inputs the energy of the sea god into the water, the water cannon opens fire, and a water curtain appears over the field. It takes only a while to finish the work and showcase the power of modern technology.
After parking the water truck, he went around the vegetable fields next to him. Midsummer is a good time for high yields of vegetables, including kidney beans, beans, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. He quickly harvested a lot.
After the fishermen finished their work in the evening, Qin Shiou shouted and ran over to get the vegetables.
Vegetables produced in the fishing ground have become a benefit for fishermen. Since the vegetable greenhouse was built, the fishermen have never bought vegetables again and have eaten them with Qin Shiou.
Don’t underestimate this. This will save a lot of money in a month. The prices of Canadian fruits and vegetables are very high and are rising rapidly. It has been less than three years since Qin Shiou came to bid farewell to the island. The overall price of vegetables has increased by more than 20%!
This is not an exaggeration, Qin Shiou reads the news. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that according to statistics from the Canadian Bureau of Statistics, food prices in June rose by 3.5% compared with the same period last year, with fresh vegetables rising by 11.5%, exceeding the increase of meat by 4.4%.
And this is just one year's data!
According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, among vegetables, the price of celery has the highest increase, with a price increase of 19% in June this year compared with June last year. Lettuce, tomato and green beans are also expensive, and it rose by 8.5% in a month from May to June this year.
These vegetables are grown in fishing grounds, and fishermen eat vegetables that are not expensive. Moreover, these vegetables taste better and have richer nutrition due to the transformation of the energy of the Sea God. They don’t have to worry about food safety issues.
The reason for this problem is that 80% of Canadian vegetables and fruits are imported, and their self-producing capacity is too poor. In terms of meat and seawater products, such as mutton, beef and pork, Canada is self-sufficient.
In fact, in the past two years, as the Canadian dollar continues to depreciate, the prices of things Canada needs to import have also increased. Not only vegetables and fruits, but vegetables and fruits are more susceptible to exchange rate fluctuations.
The fishermen were playing and choosing vegetables. Qin Shiou sighed: "Snow, it is said that the prices of vegetables and fruits outside have increased greatly, and the people are living in dire straits?"
Shaq said angrily: "Not that, the Canadian dollar in our hands is depreciating, the inflation rate remains high, and the taxes are increasing. Who says Canada is one of the five most suitable countries for immigration in the world? Come here, I want to use a harpoon to ask him to enjoy the pleasure of being cool!"
When the big men get together, what they like to do the most is bragging, and the best topic in bragging is national politics, which is more attractive than women, cars, and sports.
When Qin Shiou spoke, the fishermen were all excited, and they shared vegetables while scolding the Canadian government.
At this moment, the darkness of the political arena was slowly unraveling. Everyone was talking about the internal news they received, what Canadian banks planned to print hundreds of billions of Canadian dollars to deal with the economic crisis, and what Canada wanted to go to war to transfer the economic crisis. Qin Shiou was amazed.
Soon, the soldiers joined the discussion, so the scolded government was shortlisted in addition to Canada, the US imperialists were also shortlisted.
Qin Shiou asked Powell and Gordon to go out the beer in the kitchen refrigerator, so everyone just drank the beer and had a discussion. Anyway, nothing happened at this time.
The atmosphere became even hotter as soon as the wine was drunk. Words like "dog shit" and "fake" appeared one after another, and everyone complained wildly, and various insider rumors continued one after another, which made Qin Shiou's eyes wide open.
Hei Dao and his men relied on their comrades to work in some confidential departments. Once they were blown away, they could not stop the car. It seemed that they were drinking and eating with Obama and Hillary every day, and all internal news jumped out.
Qin Shiou listened with relish, and Weiss was also very interested, so he came up to listen to their bragging.
Because the fishermen and soldiers are all rough people, they always swear when talking about this topic, Qin Shiou refused to let Weis listen here. Weis was unwilling to give up and said, "I am an American, Si Father. I have to understand the inside story of these countries, otherwise how can I travel in the future?"
Qin Shiou rolled his eyes, "Go home and ask your daddy, your daddy knows more inside information. By the way, when will you go home?"
Weiss shrugged and said, "I don't know, my dad said that there will be a plane to pick me up, and then we will fly to Washington together. It seems that Washington will hold a meeting, and my dad will also attend the meeting between our president and some European leaders."
