Chapter Seventy-One: Harvesting a Plate of Vegetables
Sure enough, when she heard the word "investment", Li Yunlian's eyes lit up: "How much money does he want to invest?"
She knew that "investment" meant giving money.
Anything deeper, she couldn't think of it all at once.
Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Their investment is fake, it is true that they want to steal our chicken species, and they want to be able to feed chickens like ours." Otherwise, how can there be such a good thing to send us money for nothing. ”
He simplified the complicated truth, and tried his best to make the old lady understand.
These words really succeeded in scaring Li Yunlian, the light in her eyes dimmed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "These people are just very bad-minded!"
Of course, she also knows how much attention the farming industry attaches to "variety".
Last year, their family was the second generation of piglets that were bred by a certain pig breed, and the third generation of cubs was fed up, whether it was selling piglets or pork, the price would be higher than ordinary pork, because the meat quality of this breed was good.
It's a pity that they didn't do well last year, and they were tired of shedding a layer of skin, and in the end they only saved their capital.
Thinking that someone else was going to come to fight her own chicken breed, Li Yunlian was too angry.
Zhou Heng comforted her: "Mom, I didn't agree, don't be too angry." You think, they come to beat us, and that proves that our chickens are good! Isn't it? If it's not good, he won't come. Then our chickens are good, so we don't have to worry about sales. ”
That's the same thing.
Li Yunlian calmed down.
Fortunately, it was my son who answered the phone, and I was not deceived. If they were themselves, they wouldn't know what would happen.
After chatting with her son for a while, she also knew that she couldn't help too much, so she said, "Then you can be busy with your business, and I will go do some more work." ”
All she could do was do some familiar work and take care of her son in terms of food.
The reason why she came to talk to her son was just to get closer to her.
She is different from being a father, Zhou Faqiang usually doesn't talk much, even if he cares about his children, he rarely says anything.
……
Zhou Heng thought of several names, and finally felt that the name "Zhou's Farm" was good, simple, easy to remember, easy to understand, and the brand was directly "Zhou's".
"Zhou's Chicken", "Zhou's Fish" and so on, all follow the same brand trademark, and it is difficult to remember more.
In the future, as long as people hear the brand name "Zhou's", they can think of what products his family sells, and it is best to do so.
Again, although it is difficult and cannot be done overnight, he will work hard in this direction.
But he doesn't have to worry too much, the current chickens are still chicks, and the preparation can be done in advance, and the time is very generous.
However, it is not advisable to publicize it too early, because even if it starts to spread the publicity now, there is no product to sell, which is equivalent to doing useless work.
Now is the era of information explosion, there are endless new things happening every day, causing people to forget a lot, spend a lot of money to publicize, but the product is not on the market, and people forget it after a while.
Wait for the chickens to grow up and then start to promote vigorously, which can be achieved overnight.
As far as the registered brand trademark is concerned, you can go to the State Trademark Office to apply for it yourself, or you can entrust a company with agency qualifications to do it. In order to save the trouble of running around, and others are more familiar with these processes, Zhou Heng directly entrusted someone to handle it.
He looked for one on the Internet, and the reviews were not bad, so he chatted with someone and filled out an intention form to pass it on.
It's not something that can be done in a day, and it's just the beginning.
Speaking of which, there is a more interesting thing. When Xiaomi applied for the brand name, he was also afraid that someone would counterfeit it in the future, so in addition to applying for the trademark "Xiaomi", rice, white rice, red rice and other similar names were all registered.
Zhou Heng also applied for a few more accordingly. Whatever, it doesn't cost much to handle these things anyway, but it can save a lot of trouble, so why not?
After doing this, someone called in again.
It's the last time I contacted the person who made the wooden boat, it's been a few days, why did you call? Is there something wrong with making the boat?
Zhou Heng immediately answered the phone, but heard the other party say: "Mr. Zhou, we have rushed out the wooden boat you ordered, may I ask when you have time to be at home to facilitate the receipt?"
"Is this done?" Zhou Heng was surprised, because the production cycle indicated on the Internet was two weeks.
Tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of ships are often used, and they generally do not prepare spots, but only prepare raw materials, place orders in real time, and produce them in real time.
The other party laughed and said, "Well, it's the off-season recently, the order quantity is small, the masters don't have much work, and many people complete a boat together, so it's faster." ”
It's not easy to think about, and when they don't have orders, they will definitely want to take more orders.
It's a pity that Zhou Heng doesn't have this demand here for the time being, and he won't engage in sightseeing boats, so there won't be a large number of orders.
Zhou Heng replied to the other party, he will be at home for the next few days, and he will wait at home whenever he sends it.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Heng got up and went to get another watermelon and ate it again.
After freezing for a while, the watermelon seems to be even sweeter.
The melons in the countryside are delicious and worthless!
Lao Liu's family has harvested tens of thousands of catties of watermelons this year, but this is only a small-scale planting, which is not comparable to a large area.
If the number of farmers planting small-scale crops is still small and the total amount is not large, then the buyer is not willing to drive to buy it. This is also a contradiction.
If he went to the town to sell it by himself, he could sell it at a high price, but it would take at least a young man to do it, and the town's capacity was also limited, so how much could he sell?
In fact, Zhou Heng felt that if a homestay was set up in the village, if the business was good, these watermelons might not need to be sold in other places, and they could be digested directly and turned into cash income.
In addition to watermelon, there are many vegetables and fruits that are the same.
Alas, do you really want to start this? Zhou Heng said that he was very helpless.
I didn't become a village head, and I wasn't the richest man in the village, so why bother with this?
The kitten circled around him behind him and meowed.
Zhou Heng scooped it up with one hand, put it on the table, took a small bite of his watermelon, put it in the palm of his hand, handed it over, and said, "Come, do you want to eat this?"
The kitten sniffed, opened its small mouth and bit it, and ate it with a click.
The little guy eats very delicately, chews slowly in small bites, looks quiet and well-behaved, licks his face after eating, and then licks his paws, and loves to be clean.
It also wore a bow tie around its neck, with a bow in the middle, and a small golden bell hanging underneath, which Jiang Xiaoxuan and the others wore on it last time.
But they also left, and Zhou Heng himself wouldn't take it, thinking that it would look good to wear anyway, so he didn't care about it.
The little bell is small and has almost no sound, which is good-looking.
This kitten is also very funny, every time Zhou Heng feeds it, he pours some rice soup into the rice, and then pours some fish soup or something, stirs these with chopsticks, and then knocks the chopsticks on the side of the bowl to knock off the rice or fish grains on the chopsticks.
Over time, as soon as this guy heard the sound of chopsticks knocking on the bowl, he would come from nowhere, and "meow" at him, thinking that it was time to eat.
Sometimes Zhou Heng didn't notice it himself, and accidentally knocked on the bowl, and then the kitten heard it from afar, and rushed to bark at him, and he didn't know why.
Zhou Heng smoothed the hair of this guy and picked his chin, the kitten arched his palm very coquettishly, and there were bursts of "purring" sounds in his throat, bluffing and bluffing.
In the afternoon, Zhou Faqiang called Zhou Heng to pull some lotus root belts, one is to make some dishes to eat, and the other is to thin the lotus root seedlings to make the lotus root grow thicker.
That small pond is the land opened up by Zhou Heng's family, it is not big, the terrain is low, but the water is not too much, you can only plant some lotus root, and plant some water taro or mushrooms on the side, etc., which can be regarded as supplementing some vegetable gardens.
In fact, this is just a pond where there used to be water, and when the water is almost dry, it is deserted, and their family uses it to grow up.
It is not difficult to plant lotus roots, and you don't need to use much to plant them, and you will come to dig lotus roots to eat in autumn and winter, and go back to stew or fry them, clear the fire, and relieve the oiliness of the meat.
Zhou Heng picked up the bucket, put on a straw hat and went, the lotus root belt is his favorite dish, stir-fried or sour and hot are very delicious.
When I used to work part-time, this vegetable was sold very expensively, and it was extremely rare to encounter it, and it was all dry and rusty.
In the village, the lotus root belt became like that, and it could only be fed to pigs.
When the big yellow dog saw him go out, he immediately followed with his farts and wagged his tail happily.
Zhou Heng said: "You're not too tired, you will follow me when I go out, isn't it good to lie down and sleep at home to enjoy the cold?"
When Wang Rui was here, he always bullied it, and now that the two troublemakers are gone, it can be regarded as a little quiet.
The big yellow dog has such a good temper.
When he arrived at the lotus root pond, Zhou Heng found that there were still a few lotus flowers inside, which were quite bright, and a few dragonflies were flying around on it.
The scenery of the small place, quite chic.
Zhou Heng sat in the shade of a tree next to him, rested, and then took out his mobile phone and patted it.
He usually likes to take pictures of these things and post dynamics.
For example, in winter, when he sees a bird on the snow, for example, there is a huge bird's nest among the bare branches, because the leaves have fallen off, and he will definitely not see them when the leaves grow in the future, so he will deliberately take a picture.
Thinking about it this way, he found that all the photos taken over the years seemed to be winter scenes, the branches were all smooth, and there were many large bird nests to be seen.
The hometown scene with leaves, which has not been seen in several years.
Although lotus flowers are not a rarity, they seem to have not been seen in years - of course, the ones in the park are not included for the time being.
Zhou Heng took a picture with his mobile phone, and it felt quite good-looking, a dragonfly flew around, quite vivid.
While admiring it, the dragonfly actually flew towards him.
Zhou Heng looked at it in surprise, this dragonfly was not afraid of people at all, and it rested directly in his hands!
What a guts!
Don't you dare to fry you!
In fact, Zhou Heng just sat motionless, observing the dragonfly up close.
He suddenly remembered that the last time he ordered a wooden boat, he had obtained this ability, and his animal affinity increased by 30%.
Now that I think about it, it should be this ability that is working, otherwise, the dragonfly would have scared away from afar.
The big yellow dog looked at it for a while, and then barked at it, trying to get rid of it.
Zhou Heng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it won't bite me." ”
Then, with the other hand, he turned on the shooting function of the mobile phone and took a small video, the dragonfly gently shook its wings in the video, and as Zhou Heng shook his hand, it gently flapped its wings and left.
The little things are really interesting.
Zhou Heng played together, picked a lotus leaf, then folded it a few times, and used a thin branch to make a simple hat and put it on the head of the big yellow dog.
He said, "Come, let you take advantage of the coolness, don't burn you." ”
The big yellow dog wore a lotus leaf hat and "whined" twice, not knowing what he wanted to express.
Then Zhou Heng took off his shoes and went into the water, it was important to work!
The water is not deep, and the deep silt is only thigh-high, so you don't need to wear water pants and just go into the water.
Zhou Heng was digging in the mud, and he pulled a lotus root almost a distance away, broke it and threw it in the bucket, this is the night's dish.
Sometimes you can feel it under your feet, so you have to be very careful when you get down, otherwise, it will not be good to break one.
This piece of land is not too big, and it didn't take long for me to go back and forth, and I also harvested a large handful of lotus roots, which can be fried in a few plates.
After washing this, go back and soak it in water, and you can eat it for a few days.
That's the catch!
Zhou Heng took the picked lotus root to the pool to wash off the silt, then threw it back into the bucket, and said to the big yellow dog: "Let's go, go back!"
The big yellow dog still wears its green lotus hat.
