1302. Self-Produced Vegetables

The pumpkin field was small, only one and a half mu. Qin Shiou planted pumpkins just for Halloween, and there were not too many people in the fishing ground, so dozens of pumpkins were enough.

It’s not easy for youngsters to work like this. There are a lot of weeds in the vegetable field of one and a half mu. Gordon was sweating profusely in it. ?

Little Shaq was waving a hoe to loosen the soil. Nelson passed by, saw him waving the hoe quickly, and said, "Work hard, boy, you can swing the hoe well. You will definitely be able to use it when you go to high school and college."

Little Shaq raised his head stupidly and asked, "Schete, do I still need to loosen the soil after I go to high school and college? Then I'd rather be a fisherman than a farmer!"

Nelson was speechless and shook his head: "As long as the hoe is well swung, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Have you never heard of this saying?"

Little Shaq was even more surprised: "Xue Te, after going to high school and college, I still have to do construction work? Then I would still like to be a fisherman."

"You just wait to be your single dog." Nelson said bitterly.

Pumpkins, like other melon vegetables, need a very strong root system to absorb water and nutrients, otherwise the melons will grow very slowly when they grow later.

Therefore, the process of loosening the soil in Little Shaq and fertilizing in Clarkson is very important. Fortunately, these two calf-like teenagers are both good at work. Qin Shiou followed behind and looked around. If there was no problem, he went to help Xue Li and Michelle pruning and cutting vines.

Now it's time for pumpkin vines to be pruned and vined, otherwise the branches and leaves are too prosperous, which will easily cause melons to melt.

Qin Shiou taught the two to remove the vines on the top and leave the vines on the side vines. Let them grow sideways so that one pumpkin seedling will produce more pumpkins.

The teenagers worked for half an afternoon to finish the work of a pumpkin patch. They were sweating profusely, and their bodies were covered with weeds, grass leaves and dirt, just like mud monkeys.

Come out panting. Just as Gordon was about to complain, Qin Shiou took out his wallet and handed over the money. Immediately, the eyes of several teenagers lit up, and they threw away the grievances they had prepared for half an afternoon.

The rest of the work was watering, and Qin Shiou drove the water truck over. This job is extremely simple. The water trucks in the fishing grounds are refitted with water cannons, which are specially used to water the huge vineyards. The area covered by one spraying is more than half an mu of land, that is, the machines are fully activated. It only takes half a minute to water a pumpkin patch.

Qin Shiou injected the Sea God's energy into the water, the water cannon fired, and a water curtain appeared over the field. It only took a while to finish the work.

It fully demonstrated the power of modern technology.

After parking the waterwheel, he went around the vegetable field next to him. Midsummer is a good season for abundant vegetables, such as kidney beans, string beans, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and so on. A large pile was harvested in no time.

In the evening, when the fishermen finished their work, Qin Shiou yelled and ran over to pick up the vegetables.

The vegetables produced by the fishing grounds have become a welfare for the fishermen. Since the vegetable greenhouse was built, the fishermen never bought vegetables, and they ate them with Qin Shiou.

Don't underestimate this, you can save a lot of money in a month. The prices of fruits and vegetables in Canada are very high, and they 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 Canada, food prices rose 3.5% in June from a year earlier, with fresh vegetables rising 11.5% and meat rising 4.4%.

And that's just one year of data!

According to a report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, among vegetables, the price of celery has increased the most. In June this year, the price increased by 19% compared with June last year. The prices of lettuce, tomato and green beans are also high. 8.5%.

These vegetables are grown in fishing grounds, and the fishermen eat vegetables that don’t cost money, and because of the transformation of Seagod’s energy, these vegetables taste better and are more nutritious, so 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-production capacity is too poor. In terms of meat and seafood, such as lamb, beef and pork, Canada is self-sufficient.

In fact, in the past two years, with the continuous depreciation of the Canadian dollar, the prices of everything that Canada needs to import have risen, not only vegetables and fruits, but vegetables and fruits are more vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations.

The fishermen were playing and picking vegetables, and Qin Shiou said with emotion: "Xue Te, it is said that the prices of vegetables and fruits outside have increased greatly, and the common people are living in dire straits?"

Shaq said angrily: "That's right, the Canadian dollar in our hands keeps depreciating, the inflation rate remains high, and taxes and fees are increasing. Who the hell said Canada is one of the five most suitable countries for immigrants in the world?" One? Come here, I want to use a harpoon to invite him to enjoy the pleasure of heart-cooling!"

Big men get together, what they love 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 cheered up and scolded the Canadian government while sharing the vegetables.

At this moment, the darkness in the political arena was gradually unraveled. Everyone was talking about the inside information they had received, such as why the Bank of Canada plans to print hundreds of billions of Canadian dollars to deal with the economic crisis, and why Canada is going to war against where to divert the economic crisis. Qin Shiou listened amazing.

Soon, the soldiers also joined the discussion, so besides the Canadian government, the US imperialists were also shortlisted.

Qin Shiou asked Powell and Gordon to go to the kitchen refrigerator to take out beer, and everyone simply drank beer and had a discussion, anyway, there was nothing wrong at this time.

As soon as the wine was drunk, the atmosphere became even hotter. Words such as 'shit' and 'fake' appeared one after another. Everyone complained frantically, and various insider rumors continued one after another, which opened Qin Shiou's eyes.

Hei Dao and the others relied on having comrades-in-arms working in some secret departments. Once the awesomeness blows away, they can hardly stop the car. It seems that they drink and eat with Obama and Hillary every day.

Qin Shiou listened with relish, and Weiss was also very interested, so he came to listen to their bragging.

Because fishermen and soldiers are vulgar people, they always swear when they talk about this kind of topic, Qin Shiou refused to let Weiss listen here, Weiss was not reconciled, and said: "I am an American, Father Si, I have to know the inside story of these countries , otherwise how will you walk in the rivers and lakes in the future?"

Qin Shiou rolled his eyes, "Go home and ask your daddy, your daddy knows more about the inside story, 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 at that time, and then we will fly to Washington together, as if there is a meeting in Washington, our president and the leaders of some European countries. Daddy will also be present."

As soon as he said this, the soldiers who were still foaming at each other immediately looked at each other, and Qin Shiou, a black knife student, said in a tone of voice: "Little brother, you pretended to be a good b, I have to turn around 360 degrees for you!" (to be continued)
