Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

The agricultural products fair in Cuigu Village was a huge success. It not only greatly increased the sales of agricultural products in the village, but also further enhanced the popularity of Cuigu Village.

However, Wang Dashan was not carried away by the immediate success. He knew very well that the development of the village could not rely solely on tourism and agricultural product sales, but also needed to find new breakthroughs in other areas.

On this day, Wang Dashan received a letter from the city.

The letter was sent by an old classmate who works in an agricultural research institute. The letter mentioned that there is a new agricultural technology called soilless cultivation, which can greatly improve the yield and quality of agricultural products and is not restricted by land conditions.

After reading the letter, Wang Dashan had an idea. He felt that this might be another new opportunity for the development of Cui Gu Village.

Wang Dashan immediately convened a meeting of village cadres and some experienced farmers to discuss the feasibility of soilless cultivation technology in the village.

"Fellow villagers, I received a letter from an old classmate of mine who works in an agricultural research unit. He said there is a very advanced soilless cultivation technology that can improve the yield and quality of agricultural products. Can our village try this technology?"

Wang Dashan briefly explained the contents of the letter.

An old farmer frowned and said, "Dashan, soilless cultivation? This sounds too mysterious. How can you grow crops without soil? I have lived for most of my life and have never heard of such a thing."

Wang Dashan explained with a smile: "Uncle, this soilless cultivation does not use traditional soil, but uses some special nutrient solution to provide nutrients to the plants. This can control the growth environment of the plants and make them grow better."

Another villager was also a little worried: "Dashan, this technology sounds good, but we have never come into contact with it before. Will it work? If it fails, the loss will be huge."

Wang Dashan nodded: "I know everyone is worried. After all, this is a new technology. But we can't always be afraid to try new things. I want to send a few people to the city to learn this technology and see how others do it. Then come back and teach everyone."

After some discussion, everyone finally agreed to Wang Dashan's proposal.

Wang Dashan decided to send Xiaohu and two other young, strong and quick-witted villagers to the city to learn soilless cultivation technology.

After Xiaohu and the others left, Wang Dashan began to look for a site suitable for soilless cultivation in the village.

He took a fancy to a piece of vacant land next to the village, where there was plenty of sunshine and convenient water supply.

"Let's do it here. When Xiaohu and the others come back, we'll build a soilless cultivation base here."

Wang Dashan looked at the vacant land, his heart full of anticipation.

A few days later, Xiaohu and his friends came back from studying in the city.

"Uncle Dashan, this soilless cultivation technology is really complicated, but we have learned the general idea."

Xiaohu said to Wang Dashan excitedly.

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Okay, you've worked hard. Tell me what you've learned."

Xiaohu explained to Wang Dashan in detail the knowledge and skills he had learned in the city, and also took out some information and drawings.

After listening to him, Wang Dashan said, "Well, it sounds feasible. Let's build a small soilless cultivation test base based on the technology we have learned and see how it works."

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, the villagers began to build a soilless cultivation experimental base.

Everyone built the greenhouse, installed equipment and prepared nutrient solution according to the requirements of the drawings.

"Dashan, the formula of this nutrient solution must be correct, otherwise the plants will not grow well."

A villager reminded.

Wang Dashan said seriously: "That's right, everyone should be careful and not be careless. This is the new hope of our village."

After a period of hard work, the soilless cultivation experimental base was finally built.

Wang Dashan and the villagers carefully planted the seedlings into the soilless cultivation equipment and began a nervous wait.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.

After a few days, some seedlings began to have yellowing leaves and slow growth.

Wang Dashan was extremely anxious. He hurriedly checked the equipment with Xiaohu and others, checked the formula of the nutrient solution, and looked for the cause of the problem.

"Xiao Hu, think carefully, is there something wrong with us?"

Wang Dashan asked anxiously.

Xiaohu frowned and recalled carefully: "Uncle Dashan, I think there should be no problem with our operation. Could it be that the ingredients of this nutrient solution are not right?"

Wang Dashan said: "Then let's check the formula of the nutrient solution again to see if there is something wrong."

After careful inspection, they found that a key element was added too little when preparing the nutrient solution.

After finding the problem, they quickly adjusted the formula of the nutrient solution.

Under everyone's careful care, the seedlings finally gradually recovered their vitality and began to thrive.

Looking at the green seedlings, Wang Dashan and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

With the success of the soilless cultivation experiment, Wang Dashan decided to expand the scale and build a larger soilless cultivation base in the village.

He applied for more financial support from higher-level governments and also mobilized villagers to raise funds.

"Fellow villagers, our soilless cultivation experiment has been successful. This is a good opportunity. We can expand the scale and grow more vegetables and fruits, and we will be able to make more money in the future. Let's work together to build this base."

Wang Dashan said at the villagers' meeting.

The villagers responded one after another, those who had money contributed money, and those who had strength contributed their strength.

With everyone's joint efforts, the soilless cultivation base quickly expanded in scale, and various vegetables and fruits grew well.

Just when the soilless cultivation business in Cui Gu Village was booming, a sudden cold wave hit the village.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the soilless cultivation greenhouse was in danger of being frozen.

After Wang Dashan learned the news, he immediately organized the villagers to take measures.

"Everyone, hurry up and go to the greenhouse, take out all the warm things, and add a thicker insulation layer to the greenhouse."

While giving instructions, Wang Dashan worked with the villagers to carry quilts, straw mats and other warm items.

"Dashan, this cold wave came too suddenly. I don't know if our greenhouse can survive it."

A villager said worriedly.

Wang Dashan said firmly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. We will work together and we will definitely be able to save the greenhouse."

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, the villagers fought for several days and nights and finally saved the crops in the soilless cultivation greenhouse.

After the cold wave, the soilless cultivation base in Cuigu Village ushered in a bumper harvest.

The warehouses were filled with a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, and the villagers' faces were filled with joyful smiles.

"Dashan, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't led us to do these things, our village wouldn't have the good life it has today."

A villager said to Wang Dashan with gratitude.

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "We are a family. We must work together to live a better life. There will be many difficulties and challenges in the future, but as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us."

During the turbulent 1960s, Cui Gu Village, under the leadership of Wang Dashan, continued to innovate and change, overcoming one difficulty after another.

With their hard-working hands and wisdom, they are writing a glorious chapter for Cui Gu Village.

Wang Dashan knows that the road ahead is still long and there will be more challenges waiting for them, but he firmly believes that as long as the villagers unite as one, the future of Cui Gu Village will definitely be better.
