Chapter 735: Moon Cakes
Now Yoyo only has to come up with ideas, and what to do is not something she has to worry about. There is a grandma remote command, and Grandpa Lin in Kyoto refers to where to fight, everything is fine.
After they came back, they entered the August of the lunar calendar, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is September 10 of the solar calendar, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years was around the National Day.
"The beginning of autumn is eighteen days old. "In the past two days, the autumn tiger is at the right time, and the high temperature at noon is still above 35 degrees. However, the temperature at night dropped to about 20 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night reaches more than 15 degrees, which is especially suitable for crops to accumulate nutrients.
People are happy to say, "It's still a great harvest this autumn!"
The people of Xinshizhuang are even happier, this year's cotton is growing particularly well, cotton peaches are like garlic braids, in the words of the old farmers: a lump and a bunch.
However, the worries of the August Festival are mainly the worries of the engaged man. In previous years, the gift to the woman began on the sixth day of the eighth month, and the tenth day of the first month was the last day.
It's so hot this year, if you give a festival gift on the sixth day of the new year, let alone meat, even the moon cakes can't be put on the fifteenth. Nowadays, there are no preservatives added to the food, and the high temperature of more than 30 degrees will mold in a few days.
Therefore, people planned to delay it until the 10th day of the first month of August, but they were afraid that everyone would be crowded together and would not be able to buy the gifts, so they came up with an idea and booked in advance. Not only roast chicken and pork are reserved, but even mooncakes are reserved.
Nearby villagers all came to the sales point of Youyoujia to book moon cakes, even if there were no engaged boys at home, they also came to book moon cakes, and also pointed out the moon cakes in Linshui City.
In people's minds, Linshui is a big city, and everyone thinks that Linshui's moon cakes are good, and they have ordered them in advance, but they are afraid that they will not be able to buy them at that time.
Judging from the number of mooncakes booked, the price of people's gifts has increased this year, which can be said to be a qualitative leap.
I don't know anything else, to give a gift to a daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, just like moon cakes, the minimum is 20 catties, and there are 50 catties, which is too much. Even ordinary people, there are many people who book ten catties of moon cakes.
From the matter of booking mooncakes, Yoyo really admires the foresight of people nowadays. Now the production of moon cakes is purely handmade, and the production scale of the food factory is limited. If everyone waits until the eighth day of junior high school to buy it, they really can't make it.
In the past, in August, food factories began to make moon cakes, and those that could not be sold were stored first. It's hot this year, and I really don't dare to do too much in advance.
Grandma has the storage garden of this preservation weapon, into more moon cakes are not afraid, the moon cakes booked during the day, at night to call Yuyu, the next day after the arrival, was received by the storage park.
Mooncakes can be pre-ordered, but this year's apples are sad. Not to mention the late-ripening Hongfushan, it is the red banana and Jin Shuai, although they have grown in size, they have not yet reached the ripening stage, and the entrance is sour and unpalatable.
Red bananas and apples, seeing more sunlight outside the canopy, only began to turn red, picked in advance for a few days, although the sweetness is insufficient, but the sour and astringent taste is also light, and it can be eaten.
Jin Shuai apples are not good, they are picked too early, and they are also astringent when they are rotten, so they can't be eaten at all.
The newly planted red banana apples in the past two years have a small crown, good ventilation and light transmission, and the apples are large, although they have just turned red, they are in relatively good condition. The yield is too low, 30 fruit trees per mu, more than 20 pounds per mu, and 500 pounds per acre.
The price of red bananas and apples in the market has risen rapidly, from five cents a pound at the beginning, to one yuan in two days.
In fact, only those who give gifts will buy it, but the quantity is too small and the supply exceeds demand.
Normal red bananas and apples, not to mention their small size, are still green and unpalatable, and they can't be used as gifts.
Red bananas and apples are seedlings for two years, 30 plants per acre, crops can be planted without fruit in the first two years, and one season of wheat can be planted in the third year.
In the third year, you can generally hang fruit, which is generally about 500 catties per acre, even if it is five cents a catty, you can also earn more than 200 yuan, which is stronger than planting summer cotton.
In the fourth year, crops can not be planted, but the yield of apples is also high, the yield per mu is at least more than 1,000 catties, and the income per mu is more than 500 yuan, which is more ideal.
The key is to plant fruit trees to save time and effort, and the soil requirements are not high, and now there is more arable land per capita, basically more than two acres, and individual villages have reached three acres. Therefore, people with a large population buy some red banana and apple seedlings and plant two or three acres in scattered plots.
Coincidentally, the price of red bananas this year is very high, and people are thinking of planting red banana fruit trees, which is also the reason for the surplus of red bananas and apples in the future.
Some red jade apples were planted in Hantun Village, which ripened in the middle of Gala apples and red banana apples, and now they are just ripe. The red jade apple is medium in size, yellow with red, and the appearance is particularly beautiful.
The taste is slightly sandy, sweet and sour, which is more suitable for the elderly and children, but it is not easy to store.
This year, for the first time, the number of fruits is not much, but it is enough for everyone to go to relatives and friends. There were two families in the village who gave gifts and greeted the village in advance, and each family shared an extra fifty catties.
One of them is Han Daowei's family. Grandpa Dongmei asked Hongying to bring them a letter in advance, and sent a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival, just let them follow the crowd, don't be like an engagement, it's too out of line.
This year, most of the clothes given to the woman are bought by Zhenyu brand sportswear. Grandma asked Yoyo to re-order a large number of sportswear fabrics in the mall, cut them and distribute them.
Autumn has arrived, and sportswear is in the hot season again, so you have to prepare the supply in advance.
Youyou remembered the leopard skin vest that Zhiping never forgot, and immediately ordered a batch of leopard print and tiger stripe children's sportswear fabrics in the e-mall, cut them and distributed them, and made them just in time for the autumn hot sales.
Grandma was busy when she returned to the village, and the consignment had to be replenished every day. There were also more cigarettes and alcohol for the gifts, from two bottles to four, and four boxes of cigarettes.
Tobacco and alcohol are not afraid to be put away, and when people book moon cakes, they buy tobacco and alcohol back in advance.
This year, Yoyo's mother and wisdom started school on September 10, and with their help, Yoyo basically didn't help at the counter except for replenishment.
It's time to be in the third year of junior high school at the beginning of school, and after playing outside for more than a month during the summer vacation, Yoyo was ordered to study at home. When the children came home, they also took care of it, and they were busy sorting out their summer homework.
Yoyo and the students who were admitted to high school in the village borrowed a set of textbooks for the third year of junior high school and honestly prepared their homework at home.
In the third year of junior high school, there is one more chemistry than in the first two. The basics of chemistry are things that have to be memorized by rote. Fortunately, I have a good memory in this life, and I have almost reached the level of unforgettable.
