Chapter 1066 Gradually Stable
Old Master Wu nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not. "Then can you tell me whether the composting recipe stolen by the Wang family is real or fake?"
Zhou Guo smiled, "You're here to ask this, right? Why are you going around in circles? Just ask directly, and don't talk about anything else."
Mr. Wu chuckled.
Zhou Guo also laughed, "Why, did you buy a lot of fertilizer from him?"
Although the Wang family was not directly involved in selling fat, everyone knew at this time that the Wang family was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Mr. Wu said calmly, "Not much. I thought it was made by one of your farms. I was wondering why it was cheaper. I bought some and took a look. Well, it's not the same thing. It's different from the fertilizer in your hand. Are these fertilizers effective?"
Although the Wang family lost some things, if the gains are real, then it is worth it. They will earn it back a hundred or a thousand times in the future anyway.
Zhou Guo shook his head. "To tell you the truth, the thing they stole is not right. If you use too much of this kind of thing, it will not only fail to increase the fertility of the soil, but will also damage the soil layer. It can't even be called a fertilizer. How come you have so many village heads, but no one knows what fertilizer is? This shouldn't be right!"
Mr. Wu said in a gloomy voice: "Some people say that this fat doesn't seem right, but I always feel that since you dare to sell it, it must be real, there is..."
"Wait, I'm not the one selling this. You have to explain it clearly." Zhou Guo interrupted him.
She doesn't sell this stuff.
Mr. Wu said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Although we also make fertilizer privately, our method is long and cannot wait for half a year or a year. We use all kinds of manure.
It is better to buy it from outside. It does not cost much, saves manpower, and can increase grain production. In the past, we also bought manure ourselves. Now that we save this money, we can just use it to buy fertilizer. "
Zhou Guo listened carefully, and then said, "Have you ever calculated whether it is more cost-effective to buy manure and spend several months or half a year to ferment it, or to buy fertilizer directly?"
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Need I say more? I've known this for many years when I bought fertilizer from your farm every spring ploughing season. It's definitely more cost-effective to buy fertilizer from you. This fertilizer is really useful, and it's not worse than what we ferment at home after several months. With more fertilizer, the grain yield in the field has increased a lot compared to before."
Otherwise, wouldn't it be crazy for him to spend so much money on fertilizer every year?
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "I will modify the formula of this fertilizer in the future. By then, the fertilizer will be more effective. It is most suitable for use during the heading period of crops, and it will be most effective as a topdressing fertilizer."
Mr. Wu was very interested. "Really? The previous one was already very good, so you're going to change it? Is it better?"
Zhou Guo said, "Not yet. I haven't had time for a while. I will start modifying it when I have time. I will then test it in my own fields. If the fertility is not up to standard, I will definitely not put it out for sale."
Mr. Wu was concerned about another question, "Then will the price be different?"
Zhou Guo did not deny it. "It will increase a bit. You know that the things used in composting cost money. If they are free, I still have to hire people to look for them everywhere. If the fertilizer is better and the things added are different, I will use more manpower and financial resources, so the price will definitely be different. After all, I have to eat, right?"
Mr. Wu expressed his understanding. "Yes, yes, yes. I also use a lot of manure to make fertilizer on my own farm. If I use too much manure, I have to spend money to buy more manure, and I have to pay the workers."
He paused and said, "I just don't know if the price increase is too much?"
Zhou Guo said: "It won't be too much. You know, I don't just sell this fertilizer to big guys like you. All the people in the North are our customers. If the price goes up too high, they won't be able to afford it, right?"
Master Wu nodded, "Then I feel relieved."
He also said to Zhou Guo: "Don't worry, I will never use the fertilizer bought outside. I will always use yours from now on. Even if others have really fermented it, I will not buy it from others."
Zhou Guo smiled and didn't take it to heart. How could that be possible?
If one day better and cheaper fertilizer comes out, will he still buy his own fertilizer?
Zhou Guo invited him to have a meal, and Mr. Wu left satisfied after the meal.
As soon as he left, other families came to his house, trying to find out whether Zhou Guo knew about what was happening in the south, what the attitude of the border officials was, and why there was no movement at all.
People came one after another.
Zhou Guo sat in the hall and told them one by one that the situation in the south must not be that bad, otherwise the people at the border would not be able to sit still.
Huaishan also stationed an army of 100,000, otherwise it would have moved south long ago.
After hearing this, the anxious crowd gradually calmed down. The Northland could be said to be the last piece of pure land. If the Northland fell, who knows where else in the world they could find shelter?
Moreover, with a family as big and powerful as theirs, if the Northland is lost, most of their property will be gone, and it will not be easy to find peace and stability elsewhere.
General Xu, at least for now, is still a good ruler of the world.
For the next few days, Zhou Guo didn't go anywhere, just waiting for someone to come.
Perhaps the upper echelons of the Northland saw that the Wang family had suffered a setback and felt that the current situation was not as they said, and that the Northland would be finished soon.
They all come to the door one after another. Compared with the livelihood of their descendants, what is the Wang family?
Every day Zhou Guo sat in the living room with a cup of tea, drinking one cup after another with others, and changing clothes countless times a day.
She couldn't help but sigh, and said to the old man: "Master, you said this should be Zhang Lian's business, right? Why did it fall on me?"
The old man glanced at her and said, "I see you are enjoying yourself a lot. Are you having a lot of fun these days?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I am very happy to see these people leave happily. As long as these people are stable and don't try to escape, the Northland will be half stable. If the Northland is stable, the front will be more stable. What we have to do next is to wait."
The old man asked, "When are we going to check out the pasture you just acquired?"
Zhou Guo said, "Let's wait for two days. If no one comes, we will go and visit the two manors."
He was happy when he said this. "You know, the crops in those two farms were only planted not long ago this year. The first ones have sprouted. Fortunately, we went there in large numbers and early, otherwise the farm leaders would have destroyed the crops with their men! You can tell me that these conscienceless people are not afraid of being struck by lightning and dare to destroy the crops and food."
In their family, if anyone wasted food, Li would say that the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning in the sky would strike that person.
The old man said, "They spent money to hire someone to plant it, but you snatched it away just as the buds appeared. It's not fair, and you can't blame them."
