In the evening, my daughter-in-law gave me 30 yuan and told me to go to the supermarket to buy bulk rice.
I rarely go to the supermarket. Going to the supermarket is my daughter-in-law's business. She manages the whole thing at home. I just wash the pots and pans.
When I'm idle, I go to the field and fiddle with dirt. She came to the field and called out to me, "You can do something for me." I was pulling a stone in the field and looked up at her. You go and buy ten pounds of rice in bulk. I said, "How about buying a 10-pound bag of rice?" "Bagged rice is expensive. Rice in bulk is cheap and delicious. Thirty dollars is enough for you. ”。 I rode my small electric scooter to the supermarket. I asked the salesman where he sold rice. I walked in this direction, looking at the prices of vegetables along the way. Probably the price of radish, onion, and square melon is the cheapest, about two yuan per catty. The price of kidney beans is eight or nine yuan per catty. Yesterday I picked fresh beans from the vegetable garden, and my daughter-in-law threw them into the ditch because of the soil. There were two or three pounds, and I went and picked it up. One weighed three or four pounds. The price here is five yuan per catty. Forehead! The price of vegetables is too expensive! The point is that vegetable farmers don't make money either. Because of the high temperature and rain in autumn, vegetables do not grow at all, and there are no vegetables to sell.
You see, I run a small vegetable garden of 15 square meters, and the vegetables produced are not edible, and the excess vegetables are often thrown into the garbage bin.
My small vegetable garden now produces cucumbers, beans, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes and green onions.
Wait for more than a month to produce spinach, chrysanthemum, radish, cabbage, lettuce, and coriander; After waiting for another two months, you can produce beans, cucumbers, croissant melons, and sticky corn.
Before the frost falls, I put on a plastic greenhouse, so that I can eat fresh green vegetables in winter and spring. I will make full use of the staggered time, area and space to give full play to the comprehensive utilization of ground, underground and space to achieve the best economic benefits. Growing vegetables also requires wisdom.
