Chapter 111: The Little Girl Who Sells Mushrooms
The Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company was a beautiful misunderstanding for Qi Jingtao, who just wanted to do Shi Lei a favor at first, but was dragged in by Shi Lei to become a major shareholder. He is very concerned about the development of agricultural trading companies, but he does not know about the specific management matters, is not very familiar with them, and does not interfere with them. At present, it seems that Shi Lei is doing really well with the assistance of Zhang Jinglei, and everything is developing according to the established plan. Hehe, let Shi Lei, an insider, toss.
When you come out, you will walk around the streets and see if there is anything new in your hometown's market town. However, Qi Jingtao was disappointed. The streets of the town have not changed much, and today is not the day to rush the streets, and at noon, there are few people on the streets.
When you come to the main street, walk along the familiar and winding street, credit cooperatives, post and telecommunications offices, supply and marketing cooperatives, town government, police stations, health centers, cultural stations, cinemas, 、...... The institutions that should have been in the town are still in familiar old places, and they are still dusty and simple. As always, it operates unhurriedly, without the rapid changes in the developed coastal areas reported on the TV news.
What has changed is the street frontage, clothing stores, shoe stores, cold drink shops, pastry shops, beauty shops, electrical appliance shops...... There are more and more small shops of all kinds, and the variety of goods in the small shops seems to be more and more complete, and they have the same posture as the city. It also looks like it gives people a dazzling array of colors, complete varieties of colors, and a prosperous scene.
Qi Jingtao rarely goes shopping on weekdays, but since he came today, he couldn't help but go in curiously and walked around, and found that although these shops were full of dazzling goods, the grade was obviously much lower. After walking around, I found that some of the goods sold in these shops were obviously counterfeit and shoddy products and three-no products, and the countryside was a natural dumping ground for such commodities and a natural consumer market.
The most special thing is that in the stores specializing in pastry and candy, the candy and pastries they sell are blatantly divided into two categories and placed on the shelves. One is the candy and pastry at the normal price, and the consumer is basically the kind of customers who buy and eat by themselves.
One is obviously inexpensive, quality and taste can only be eaten, harmless candy and pastry. Customers buy these candy and pastries with acceptable packaging, basically for rural weddings, funerals, and personal exchanges. Anyway, everyone understands the origin and purpose of this kind of candy and pastry, and few of them are willing to eat this kind of candy and pastry when they are put out to entertain guests, and in the end, most of this kind of candy and pastry fall into the mouths of pigs, which is not a waste.
Your own ability is limited, change what you can change, accept what you can't change, this is life. I am still young, everything has just begun, I can take my time and not rush.
I didn't have time to feel the huge difference between urban and rural areas and the reality of the countryside, so I walked around, met a few acquaintances, said hello, handed a cigarette, and chatted casually. It didn't take an hour for Qi Jingtao to return to the farmer's trading company's store. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the farmers' trading company's store has already begun to have customers to sell wild mushrooms.
Wild mushrooms grow in the mountains, and if rural people want to eat them, of course, they have to go to the mountains early in the morning to find them and pick up the blessings of nature.
In recent years, people's living standards are getting better and better, and the mushrooms in the market are becoming more and more valuable. Some experienced mountain people, the mushrooms collected in a season can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan of soft sister paper, and thousands of yuan abound, which is equivalent to the sales income of planting two or three acres of flue-cured tobacco. Moreover, it is still a net income. All they paid was their hardships and sweat on the mountain, and there were no other additional economic costs.
Today is Sunday, and it is still the time for the college entrance examination, and many students in the nearby mountain villages are at home during the holidays. Primary and secondary school students in those mountain villages don't have to go to school, and they don't spend all their time reading and reviewing, let alone going to any interest classes or cram schools. After finishing their homework, they will also go up the mountain in groups to collect fungus. There are too many mushrooms to collect, of course, the family can't eat them all, and they are reluctant to stay at home to eat them all. Those wild mushrooms that are of high quality, delicious and can be sold at a good price are not reserved for oneself to eat, but are sold on the street to subsidize the family, and the rest are eaten by one's own family.
Everyone loves to eat wild mushrooms, and the wild mushrooms harvested by the mountain people themselves do not worry about selling, selling them to those who want to eat wild mushrooms but are unwilling to go up the mountain, and selling them to those who go to the mountains to buy wild mushrooms and resell them. Now there is another place to go, directly to the town, and it is very convenient to sell to the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company. They exchange the treasures they pick up from the mountains for money, which becomes their own pocket money or living expenses at school.
When Qi Jingtao came back, he happened to see a group of children who looked like middle school students coming to sell mushrooms. How can he see, hehe, school uniforms have been popular in primary and secondary schools over the years. The so-called school uniform is not a specially designed and made standard school uniform, that is, each school selects a sportswear, and prints the name of the school to become the school uniform.
School uniforms in primary and secondary schools need students to pay for their own purchases, and the cost is too high to easily cause disgust among students' parents, especially in rural primary and secondary schools, there are a large number of students who cannot afford the high cost of school uniforms. The school can only charge less money and order some sports style clothing of average quality as school uniforms. Often when schools order school uniforms, in order to save money, there are gray transactions such as rebates in the middle, and the quality of school uniforms is often terrible.
Even so, school uniforms cannot be sold every year. In many schools, primary school students buy two or three sets of school uniforms in six years, and middle school students buy one set of school uniforms for three years. Of course, if you have good economic conditions at home, you can pay attention to wearing a suitable school uniform and buy the same style of school uniform, as long as you can buy it from the market.
The primary and secondary school period is the period when children grow up, and the growth and changes of students' bodies are often considered when buying school uniforms. Families who need to wear a set of school uniforms for several years often have to fully consider the physical changes of students in the next few years, and buying large school uniforms has become the first choice for many students. If you buy a big one, you should wear it except for the young general, and it is not so easy to deal with it if you buy a small one. As long as everyone has experience in how to deal with it, there is no need to go into details.
In this way, during the school period, there are few school uniforms that fit just well, and those primary and secondary school students who wear school uniforms look like an awkward virtue, far less uniform and temperamental than those of the Republic of China students in the movie.
I saw them wearing loose sportswear school uniforms, carrying backpacks on their backs one by one, sweating from the sun. Qi Jingtao hurriedly stepped forward and helped them remove the backpack they were carrying. The teacher in charge of sorting the mushrooms in the store also rushed over to help them unload the back basket, and kept saying: "A few dolls, the weather is so hot, the back is so heavy, it's tired, right? Shi Yan, where is there cold boiled water and paper cups, you take them over to drink saliva and rest their breath. ”
"Thank you, Daddy, we're not tired. ”
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm used to it. ”
"Yes, the fungus is not heavy, such a big back basket is not 30 pounds, it would be nice to be heavier!"
"It's just that it's too hot, and drinking cold boiled water is not enjoyable, if only there was ice water. ”
"There's a cold drink shop over there, so I'll eat popsicles later. ”
"The ice cream is delicious, I'm going to buy a strawberry flavor later." ”
……
Putting down the basket, several students drank the cold boiled water provided by the store and chattered.
"On a hot day, what kind of ice water and popsicles do you eat? That thing hurts your body, just drink cold boiled water. Shi Guigui yelled at them with a smile, and sent people to help them sort wild mushrooms.
Shi Guigui is a short man in his fifties, a mountain resident of Gaozhai Village in the south of Bazi in the fifth district, and Shi Lei specially invited the master master to sort wild mushrooms.
When Qi Jingtao came, he listened to Zhang Jinglei's introduction, and Shi Guigui knew all kinds of fungi very well. The mushrooms purchased by the company have to be sorted by him to ensure that there are no inedible and highly toxic wild mushrooms mixed into the takeaway mushrooms. Some highly toxic mushrooms look very deceptive, and look very similar to those edible wild mushrooms, which can easily be mixed with them and caused food poisoning by mistake.
The Yunnan Central Agricultural Trading Company is engaged in the wild mushroom business, and it needs to have such experienced people to check it. It is not only responsible for consumers, but also responsible for its own company.
