Africa is fertile, the land is sparsely populated, in addition to being a natural excellent pasture, it is also an ideal place to grow crops, but most people here do not farm, 1 young man went to Angola to travel and found this business opportunity, decided to stay and teach the villagers how to farm, will he succeed?
The young man felt very sorry to see the large area of fertile wasteland in front of him, so he went to the village chief and explained his intentions, hoping to teach the villagers how to use the land to grow various crops.
The village chief was very happy to hear that, if it succeeded, not only could it solve the problem of the villagers' lack of food and less food, but it would not be easy to be elected as a demonstration model for publicity, and his own village chief could also become the mayor of the town, which was a good thing, so he was very supportive of the boy's idea.
Early in the morning of the second day, the village chief summoned all the villagers and asked them to obey the arrangements of the young men;
The young man looked at the head of the village and selected a large piece of land to lead the villagers to reclaim; the root system of various weeds in this red land was intertwined, and the weeds and shrubs were growing well, but such a good land was not well utilized, which was indeed a pity.
The boys divided the villagers into 3 groups, the strong men took the hoes to dig the ground, the women went to clean up the debris on the land, and the old people and children piled up the cleaned up debris and mixed it with animal manure to make organic fertilizer.
After a day's labor of the villagers, a large piece of land was reclaimed, completely free of the previous mess, and the young man took a hoe to demonstrate to the villagers, digging a ditch with a hoe, and then dividing it into many small pieces.
The villagers had never seen this practice before and felt very curious and very fresh. Everyone is excited to work with a hoe, they only need to follow the gourd to draw the scoop, do not have to use any brains, and do it according to the requirements of the little brother.
Before long, a square, well-ordered farmland appeared in front of the villagers, and everyone was very happy, feeling like magic, and they all praised the boys.
After hearing about it, the villagers of other nearby villages also took the initiative to come to observe and learn, and under the leadership of the little brother, the local villagers showed great interest in farming, and many people took up hoes to join the team of reclaiming wasteland.
After 1 period, the seeds of the planted vegetables began to germinate, and after 2 weeks, the vegetables had grown leaves the size of a ping-pong ball, blocking the soil in the field, and looking at the green patch, it was very beautiful.
After 3 weeks, the vegetables in the field have changed significantly, and the look is full of vitality, which is the critical period for vegetable growth and requires more nutrients.
The boy took local materials, asked the village chief to send someone to transport the organic fertilizer made before to the field, and then called 5 local villagers to patiently explain the role of fertilizer and the method of fertilization to them.
For this kind of fresh thing, these African villagers showed great interest, listened carefully, and practiced themselves from time to time with the help of the boys.
After they learned, they taught other villagers to learn to fertilize vegetables, and with hard work, in the land in front of them, the vegetables they taught them were thriving;
Villagers also gather around the fields from time to time, weeding and insects, fertilizing and watering, all full of expectation, waiting for the arrival of the harvest.
Three months later, the first vegetables were ripe, and the villagers sang and danced with joy, a moment they had been looking forward to for a long time; hard work had brought fruitful fruit, a sweetness and joy that outsiders could not appreciate.
They picked the vegetables from the field and divided them into two parts, half of which were evenly distributed according to each person, and the other half were bundled up and loaded into carts, ready to be pulled to the market to sell in exchange for other kinds of daily necessities.
In Africa, there is never a shortage of meat, but vegetables, which are very popular in markets; so to speak, in the local area, vegetables are more expensive than meat.
Although the town's market today is relatively small and crowded, when they arrive at the first stop, many people see vegetables gathered around.
Everyone rushed to buy vegetables, and in less than 20 minutes, a cart full of vegetables sold out, and vegetables are so popular in Africa.
So why are vegetables so popular in Africa? Mainly because they are generally meat-based, not many people will grow vegetables in the local area, plus the rarity is expensive, which leads to the market for vegetables is very good in the local area.
To know that in the local area, edamame 1 pound 10 yuan, parsley is 17 yuan, ginger is more expensive, to 25 yuan 1 pound.
Now they are still just trying to plant, according to the idea of the boys, after the people here have learned how to grow vegetables, he will set up a cooperative, use the surrounding land, grow multiple varieties, and be responsible for technical guidance.
At that time, the locals can not only eat their own vegetables to get rid of the days of not having enough to eat, but also transport the extra vegetables to the market to sell, increase people's income, and get rich and well-off together.
