Although the farm covers an area of 1,000 acres, it is actually impossible for Ling Xue to cultivate 1,000 acres as she does not have enough seeds and tools.
She thought about it for a long time and decided to wait and see how many seeds the government would distribute.
Because it was an experimental farm, Ling Xue and the other ten farms only received seeds for one hundred acres of land.
Although the number is small, it is already a lot for an experimental farm. After all, if the experiment fails, all the money will be lost.
If the experiment is successful, they will have a large area of land for cultivation.
The site allocated to Ling Xue had already been determined, and Ling Xue planned to dig out the cave she lived in first. This time, the tile kiln owner couldn't take shortcuts, so he contacted the construction team that Wang Hao was familiar with, and they could even undertake the final renovations.
"How much does it cost?" This was the question Ling Xue was concerned about, as she didn't have much money left.
The people Wang Hao brought with him were a little embarrassed, but he still stated his fee standard very straightforwardly: "If food is included, 500 kilograms of grain will be enough. Flour and rice are also fine."
Ling Xue thought that this charging standard was quite good, at least it was very cost-effective for her. As for money, she really didn't have it, but if it came to food, that was easy.
"Okay, but the quality has to be good!"
The foreman immediately assured him, "Don't worry, I've been doing this for half my life, and there's never been a problem!"
Wang Hao also helped to encourage him: "Don't worry, Xiaoxue, there will be no problem with the quality. I can guarantee you that."
After agreeing on the price, the group went to Ling Xue's farm.
This was also Ling Xue's first time here. She found that her farm was surrounded by white lime by the government, and the area inside the circle was her territory.
It’s quite strict!
Zhang Enhui also took a special leave to come along this time. Aunt Zhang was worried about Ling Xue acting alone, so Zhang Enhui simply took a leave of absence to come and supervise.
Even if Ling Xue refused, it would be useless. Seeing Zhang Enhui's insistence, Ling Xue had no choice but to agree.
In fact, another reason why Zhang Enhui came here was that she wanted to observe Ling Xue's operating procedures first. After the policy is fully opened, she plans to apply for a piece of land for her parents as well.
In fact, she was also very interested in this experimental farm, but because Ling Xue had already discussed it with Zhou Kai, it was difficult for her to compete for it.
Another thing is that Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang’s planting skills are indeed not as good as Ling Xue’s. Even without Ling Xue, they might not be able to successfully apply.
The foreman's machine has been delivered, and everyone is experienced and can operate it quickly.
Ling Xue and Zhang Enhui planned to go back after seeing them start working. There was no need for her to stay here and watch them, so Ling Xue took out a bag of 100 kilograms of rice from Zhang Enhui's car and left it to the construction team. This was their food for the next few days.
That’s all about whether it’s enough or not. They agreed on this quantity in advance, so no one has any objections.
Ling Xue and Zhang Enhui drove Wang Hao along the white line around Ling Xue's farm. The location was good and the land was flat, which would make it more convenient to use machines in the future.
Zhang Enhui also looked at it carefully. She planned to apply for a farm next to Ling Xue's for their family so that Ling Xue could take care of her parents even when she was not around.
Although Ling Xue usually looks gentle and kind, Zhang Enhui can tell from her daily observation that she is a strong person with a soft exterior and good abilities. It is only her parents and Xiaobao who think Ling Xue is weak and fragile, worrying about this and that all the time!
