Chapter 207: He Said He Regrets It a Lot
Since she saw Old Xie, Qiao Qingyu took the opportunity to discuss the potato harvest from yesterday with him, "Director Xie, as long as Xichuan doesn’t get a month of heavy rain, the potatoes will have a bumper crop this year."
"Hahaha, a month of heavy rain in Xichuan? Impossible!" Old Xie laughed, shaking his head.
Qiao Qingyu also smiled, "Aside from what we’ve set aside for winter consumption, we should use the rest as seed potatoes. However, my storage isn’t quite right for that, we should start digging a cellar specifically for storing potatoes now."
Potatoes are tubers; after sprouting next spring, they can be planted directly in the ground. She read about potatoes, and as long as they’ve sprouted, there should be no problem.
After all, they’re not like corn or rice seeds, where selection is more meaningful.
"Don’t worry, the cellar has already started being dug. Our cabbages and radishes are growing well this year, and I’ve also started on a bigger one, designed by Comrade Lao Feng from the breeding center specifically to store potatoes."
It’s good to have a research base; even digging a cellar needs a blueprint.
"By the way, Yu Jing said she has already set up an account for you, and everything like the official seal will be taken care of soon. You can then have money directly deposited into your account."
Of course, Qiao Qingyu wouldn’t object; after all, her Original Seed Laboratory was affiliated with Tenghai Research Base, and everything had to be done according to regulations.
After parting with Old Xie, Qiao Qingyu drove the tractor to Xiaxi Commune.
