321 Requirements for Recruitment
Previously, Gu Qingming’s plan was to plant rice in one of the four greenhouses and use the other fields to grow the rest.
However, after some consideration, Gu Qingming chose three greenhouses to plant rice, watermelons, and peanuts. The remaining greenhouse was used to plant vegetable crops.
This was the first time she planted on this scale. She had to be mindful of the shelf life of the crops. Vegetables were not easy to keep for a long time while rice and peanuts were easier to preserve.
There was no need to talk about rice. Even in the north, there were many people who liked to eat rice as a staple food.
As long as the taste was good and the quality was guaranteed, there would definitely be no problem in the market.
As for peanuts, Gu Qingming was more inclined to process peanut oil.
Wood, rice, oil, and salt were essential daily necessities for every family. However, in modern society, firewood had been replaced by gas stoves.
The pursuits of the poor and the rich were different. Poor people only wanted to live their lives and ordinary things were enough for them. Rich people only wanted to live a good life, enjoy life, and pursue good health!
The peanuts that she had grown with the spiritual spring water and the peanut oil that she had processed were definitely things that rich and powerful families needed.
Moreover, regardless of whether it was peanuts or peanut oil, as long as the measures were taken, the shelf life could be long.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about the peanut market!
There was no need to mention watermelons.
With a friend in the fruit business, she would definitely be able to sell her watermelon. Of course, the quality of her watermelon would definitely be good.
Since she planned to enter the middle and high-end market, the rice, watermelon, and peanut oil were the bricks that she used to lay her foundations for the high-end market!
As for these vegetables, well, she could only take it slow.
Among the four greenhouses, Gu Qingming had soaked those vegetable seeds in spiritual spring water.
There were also watermelon seeds. Gu Qingming had asked Gao Wenwen to get them. They had also been soaked in the spiritual spring water.
The rice seeds and peanut seeds were given to her uncles by her parents in the name of the Agricultural Science Institute.
The greenhouse peanut, watermelon, and rice crops had already been planted after the Qingming Festival.
The remaining large shed was used to grow various vegetables and fruits.
This greenhouse was in Linshi Village. It had a total of 61 acres of land.
Since Gu Qingming wanted to take the green organic food route, it was obvious that Gu Qingming had secretly dealt with the pesticides in the rented land.
The so-called processing was diluting it with a little spiritual spring water and watering it in the open space.
Since the spiritual spring water could cure all illnesses, there was naturally no problem with removing the pesticides in the ground.
Perhaps she would face some problems in the future, but she would cross the bridge when she came to it. She would think about it in the future.
The pumpkins and winter melons were all large vines. It was estimated that one or two of them would be able to spread throughout the entire land.
However, Grandma wanted to grow pumpkins and winter melons to grow in a shed so two acres of land were allocated to these crops.
There were four plants planted in each acre of land.
As for the remaining land, she first picked tomatoes, green melons, spinach, radishes, carrots, eggplants, and other common vegetables in the countryside. Then, she planted some garnishes such as garlic, onions, coriander, ginger, and so on.
These things were all meticulously done. It was just that planting them required a large amount of manpower.
Then, the smart greenhouse showed its benefits. She only needed to adjust the water requirements of each crop and the number of drip tubes in the greenhouse. There was also no need to supervise every day.
Every one of the farmers was an expert in this area. Gu Qingming did not need to worry about these things.
On the contrary, Gu Qingming needed to understand more.
The more she understood, the more Gu Qingming realized how difficult it was for farmers.
Of course, planting anything required fertilizer.
Gu Qingming did not use fertilizer. It was all farm organic fertilizer. When mixing these fertilizers, the Shi family dripped spiritual spring water according to the ratio in the technical book and what Mrs. Gu said.
Although the Shi Family did not know what this colorless, odorless, transparent liquid was, it was still a good thing.
…
Gu Qingming stood in the field and looked around with her sharp eyes.
This time, there were close to 40 workers at the greenhouses. Planting these things required manual labor, which was relatively tiring.
Gu Qingming was about to go down and walk around the field when she was stopped by her aunt, who was supervising the work.
She said, “Mingming, just stand on the ridge and take a look. Don’t go to the ground. The ground is very wet. When you step on it, your shoes will be covered in wet mud. It’s especially cold. You’re still in confinement. It’s good enough for you to come out and take a look. Don’t think about going to the ground.”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll just walk around the field. I won’t get off the ground.”
Eldest Aunt nodded and said, “That’s more like it!”
Gu Qingming was still wearing a woolen hat. Her confinement handkerchief was wrapped around her head and she was wearing a red down jacket, making her skin look even more delicate.
She had been sitting there for a month. Although she had not gained weight, her face was rosy and she looked even more energetic.
Since she didn’t have to worry about the child, she had more energy to focus on farming.
When the people working saw Gu Qingming, they started to ask.
“Little Gu, do you think the online shopping platform is done?”
“That’s right, Xiao Gu. We’ve already dried the sweet potatoes at home. This way, the sweet potatoes will be even sweeter and we can prepare to sell them at will.”
“I also dried some chili at home. I plan to sell it!”
…
Gu Qingming was not impatient. She said, “Soon. I’m recruiting people now. When they’re in place, I can help everyone sell.”
When someone heard this, he immediately asked, “Little Gu, are you hiring? Do you have any requirements for hiring? I have a niece who is looking for a job!”
...
“I have a nephew who’s also looking for a job.”
“Little Gu, do you think I can work at your place? Don’t worry, I have the strength and I’m not afraid of hardship.”
Everyone started making recommendations.
Gu Qingming said, “I want to hire two employees who know a little about computer office documents. It’s best if they’re between 18 and 35 years old. Also, I want to hire two porters. It’s best if they’re between 18 and 45 years old. They should be able to read and work hard. It’s best if they’re male.”
When it came to moving heavy objects, men had a certain advantage and were strong.
“Ha, you have to know computers and be literate!”
Most of the people who stayed at home were of a certain age. As grandparents, very few of them could read.
With this requirement, most people in the village were eliminated.
“Little Gu, you mean that you’re going to recruit four people now, right?”
“Yes, four people.”
“If you want those who can understand computers, this… this will be difficult for us. We don’t even know how to read. How would we know anything about computers?”
...
“Oh, what a coincidence. I have a niece in my family who just learned how to use a computer. She’s planning to find a job as a clerk in a factory outside. I’ll ask her if she’s willing to work here.”
“Speaking of which, my relative’s child studies computers…”
