Song Tan’s Chronicle - Chapter 113.1

Different types of bacteria like these are currently mainly used in green organic farming or by those specializing in horticulture. It was surprising to see how much Zhang Wang, usually so quiet, knew about both agriculture and technology.

No wonder his composting reputation had grown year by year in the village…

Combining traditional farming experience, mysticism, and scientific methods—how could he not succeed?

Perhaps sensing her amazement, Zhang Wang gave a shy smile, “A few years ago, I went to town and saw someone promoting it. They sold it for ten yuan a bag, and the manufacturer even provided guidance.”

“I tried it, and you know what? It works great! A compost pile that would normally take three to five months to mature now takes about two months.”

“The fertilizer is also very effective!”

“When the flowers on the mountain are fading and the fruits are just starting to grow, it’s the perfect time to apply fertilizer. This stuff, once decomposed, won’t burn the roots, and it works quickly.”

Because of this, they didn’t have much chicken and duck manure left, as the birds roamed freely in the fields. But the five little pigs were big eaters and drinkers, producing a huge pile of manure. Song Tan had spent all morning cleaning up the pig manure and transporting it to the orchard. Was it any wonder that the car smelled?

But it would only be this once; Zhang Wang had said that now that Song Tan, the owner, had introduced him to King, they could work together at the orchard. He could easily carry the manure there with a bucket every day.

He was used to it, and actually found walking the mountain paths easier than driving.

Since there were guests at home, Song Tan didn’t say much about this. She quickly rinsed the car, cleaned herself up, and went into the yard to greet Song Hongmei.

Song Hongmei was sitting there sorting vegetables. When she saw Song Tan, her eyes lit up. “Look at our Tan Tan, so capable! She’ll surely have a great future!”

Mao Li, still embarrassed from her last visit to the vegetable market, chimed in with a smile, “Tan Tan, I didn’t know your produce sold for such a high price last time. It was quite funny.”

“I was even thinking of setting you up with a good match, but… well, he turned out not to be the right one!”

She put on a regretful expression, waiting for Wu Lan to show interest and express remorse.

After all, Tan Tan had already graduated from college and should be finding a partner. Now that she had returned home to farm, how could she find a good match in the city without family introductions?

Sure enough, Wu Lan asked, “What match? Sister-in-law, do you know the person well? If not, don’t introduce them.”

Tan Tan was now focused on taking care of the family fields; she had no time to go to the city and date a young man.

Like most ordinary mothers, Wu Lan’s thoughts were no different: when a girl grows up, it’s time to find a match.

But given the current situation at home, things were different.
