Chapter 59

Qiping was still very satisfied; the current life was really too good. Not only was the living environment comfortable, but his career was also developing very well. Moreover, he was constantly encountering interesting things, making his life flavorful. Qiping had no reason not to be happy.

Continuing to inspect his territory was also one of Qiping's current pleasures. The production in the vegetable garden was constantly developing. Besides the increasing output of vegetables, he was also continuously adjusting based on experience.

The first batch of lettuce had already sold out, and plowing the land was no problem. Now, with more experience, and given the excellent environment and superior facilities, he naturally needed to continue to strive for better production.

"The soil fertility here is actually quite average, but the environment is good. Our idea is to add some green manure. Chemical fertilizers can't be used, but we can use other types of fertilizers," Huang Siqing offered his opinion. The potential of the vegetable garden was great, and now he knew that his salary was generous, and his bonuses were also substantial, so he was naturally more motivated.

Green manure is a green plant used as fertilizer. Green manure is a complete biological fertilizer source. Planting green manure is not only an effective way to increase fertilizer sources but also plays a significant role in improving soil quality. The simplest and most primitive green manure involves spreading some nutrient-rich grass on the ground or in the ditches, then plowing it into the soil. These decaying plants still contain some nutrients.

Professor Bruce nodded. His current status was basically that of the chief technical advisor for the forest farm. The environment of the forest farm was excellent, but this did not mean that everything here was the best. Soil issues must be taken seriously; the growth of vegetables not only requires a good environment but also fertile soil.

Qiping listened on the side. Huang Siqing was an old farmer with a lot of experience. Professor Bruce was an expert with outstanding professional knowledge, and his opinions also needed to be taken seriously.

Although he came from a rural background and knew some farming, it was clear that Qiping was not a true farmer. Listening to the opinions of professionals, Qiping was actually a very good boss, at least one who could listen to advice.

"I think the weeds in the vegetable garden are quite good. In the past, we basically just weeded them out, but now I think we can consider it further. If we pay a little attention and plant some nutrient-rich green manure grass, it will be a good thing," Huang Siqing was very happy that his opinion was adopted. This would make the forest farm develop better, and he could gain more benefits from this treasure trove.

"Although a complete irrigation system has been laid out here, we must admit that the soil is still relatively dry. First, we need to improve the soil's stickiness, and then further enhance its fertility. I will help you contact some experts who can provide more professional assistance," Professor Bruce said. This professor knew that expertise was specialized; he was not very familiar with these matters, but he could contact some capable experts.

Qiping looked at Professor Bruce and sighed. He knew what to do.

"I understand, guys. I will listen to more opinions, and we need a more comprehensive plan. Clearly, we cannot just handle the forest farm based on our own thinking; we need to be more scientific and standardized," Qiping said honestly. The forest farm had a bright future, and it needed to develop sustainably.

"So, Qiping, you need to continue investing. I know you just made a lot of money, and I will try to help you spend it. This is an investment, and I think it's worth it," Professor Bruce said with a hint of schadenfreude. He couldn't stand to see Qiping make a lot of money. Thinking about the recent earnings from the vegetables, Professor Bruce was quite envious.

"It would be best to build a biogas pond, and that would be good. Also, our small chicken farm needs to be handled. Although the scale of breeding is not large, some things need to be prepared in advance," Huang Siqing added.

Although he didn't know exactly how much the boss had earned, Huang Siqing knew the boss had made a lot of money. So now he could consider advising the boss to invest further. Huang Siqing knew that this young and capable boss was very rational. As long as it was beneficial for the forest farm's development, Boss Qiping would not be stingy.

Qiping opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He had thought that once the vegetables could be sold, he could sit at home and count money, counting until his hands cramped. But now, he had just made a little money, and immediately, he needed to continue investing. He really didn't have much money left.

"Alright, as long as it's necessary, I'll support it. I'll ask others for their opinions on this matter; we still don't understand the specific planning," Qiping nodded. He knew that the planning of the forest farm must be handled carefully, so these matters needed further discussion. This wasn't something that could be decided on a whim.

Professor Bruce was unhappy. He felt he was an expert; building a biogas pond was something he strongly agreed with. But there was no way around it; Qiping was the owner here, and in a certain sense, Qiping was also his boss. So, let this stubborn young boss pay another consulting fee. Why should this guy not trust his and Huang's judgment?

"Our vegetables are sold out as soon as they are ready, Uncle Huang. You all need to work a bit harder. We can't run out of stock. In the past, we basically had a batch of vegetables mature at once," Qiping was a bit helpless. Although the forest farm's development was indeed very good, it was just the beginning, and many shortcomings were now exposed.

"I understand. Our vegetables are growing too well; I didn't expect it. We can control it a bit, and it shouldn't be a problem. The first season of vegetables was already very good, but I believe that when the second season of vegetables matures, we will have a stable scale," Huang Siqing was confident. Although some small shortcomings were constantly exposed, with the experience gained and the facilities and environment here, things would definitely get better.

Qiping felt a bit dizzy and walked out of Professor Bruce's small office with no energy. He shouldn't have come to chat with them. Now, he was basically going to empty his pockets again. Although the projects they talked about didn't seem like major ones, Qiping knew that once actual construction began, the costs would definitely be substantial, as the highest quality was required.

"Whatever, I can still make a lot of money. I'm just investing the money I have now. I don't believe that these guys can think of ways to take my money as soon as I make a little. I don't believe that my vegetables are so valuable that I can't make a little pocket money!" Qiping was really determined. Although he would indeed spend a lot of money, it was worth it.

It was indeed a bit painful, but Qiping was also very clear. The forest farm had great potential, and with continuous improvements, there would naturally be more returns in the future. Now, it was just laying the foundation, and spending money was justified. Without investment, where would the returns come from? This was a principle Qiping had known for a long time, and he believed that his investment would definitely bring more benefits.

This was another large budget, which made Qiping a bit frustrated. He had thought he was a rich man now, and he could spend money freely, even on luxury cars. But now, he realized he was a bit naive. There were too many places that required spending, and even now, his money was not enough!
