Qi Jingtao was stunned, running an orchard from scratch turned out to be so troublesome and required such a long investment cycle. It's not like him tossing stocks these days, with the information support given by Lao Qi, he can earn so much in a few days, and he takes it for granted.

"The thatched river is a mountain depression with 167 acres of plateau. Even if most of them are wasted and there is no harvest, if someone wants to contract, those people will not give it up easily. If the village committee comes forward, it can only be paid according to the normal mountain yield estimated into rent, and the current mountain rent, calculated according to 2% of the spring harvest, is at least 150 yuan per mu, and 25,050 yuan is needed every year.

The hillside land whose property rights belong to the village committee is a barren mountain, with more than 2,000 mu, counting 2,000 mu, and using 20 yuan per mu according to the wasteland, which costs 40,000 yuan. The rent is at least about 65,000 a year, which is not expensive.

In the first three years, roads, dams were repaired to store water, reservoirs and irrigation facilities were repaired, and power lines were laid...... It simply can't be done without 2 million. Not counting the hillside leveling, cherry saplings, labor and fertilizer inputs......"

Qi Zhengming unhurriedly analyzed the various inputs after contracting the mountain valley for his son, and Qi Jingtao knew that he was ignorant of agricultural production. I also thought that I was born in the countryside and knew about the countryside. In fact, he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, and he didn't know why.

He helped his family with the farm since he was a child, just working. What his parents are busy with, he helps to do some of it, and he doesn't really know anything else.

Qi Jingtao was stunned, pondered for a while, and then said to his father ashamedly: "Dad, I also thought of these, but I didn't think about them so carefully. At the beginning, I just thought that the land in our village was so small that every family could not eat enough and would not die of hunger. There are many mountains and forests and slopes, but they are scattered to various teams and families, and without investment, it will not be able to form economies of scale. If the thatched river can be contracted to become an orchard demonstration base, let those who operate the orchard see what to do. ”

"Xiaotao, you have been going to school outside all these years, and now you are also working. Some ideas and insights are good things, you can think more, analyze more, but you can't do it blindly, let alone make decisions based on imagination. What you said today is a good idea, and you will have time to carefully investigate and improve it until you have the ability to solve the investment problem. Qi Zhengming encouraged his son.

"Hehe, Dad, it's still thoughtful and thoughtful, Jiang is still old and spicy. I'll leave this matter aside for now, and I'll go to the street to buy groceries first. ”

Qi Jingtao figured it out, his idea was not that he couldn't do it, but that he couldn't do it now. His current ability is still too small, and he still has to accumulate. After finishing his cigarette, he got up and pushed his motorcycle out of the courtyard gate to buy groceries.

"This kid is getting more and more assertive. Hehe......" Qi Zhengming heard the sound of motorcycles outside the door gradually moving away, put down the hookah, and went out to the house of his brother Qi Zhenglin.

During the day, the weather was hot, and the Qi Zhenglin brothers were resting at home, and when they saw the eldest brother of the family coming in, they all got up and gave up their seats, "The eldest brother is here, come in and sit." Xiaofeng said okay, what time will you go up the mountain?"

"Zhenglin, Zhenghai, Zhenggang, your eldest nephew went to the street to buy vegetables. In the afternoon, don't start a group with a few of you, you will not be where I am, and go up the mountain after eating well. Qi Zhengming found a stool to sit down by himself, and said what he meant.

"Big brother, no need. We'll eat whatever you want at home, and you'll leave as soon as you're done eating. Qi Zhenglin said with a polite smile.

"What's polite to the family, your eldest nephew works in the state city, not far from home, and I don't know what to do, and it's rare to come back for a few days a year. A few of you are also his uncle, he wants to be lazy, and he dares to call you to help him do things, so that he can have a meal together. ”

Qi Zhenghai refilled the hookah with water, handed it to Qi Zhengming, and praised with emotion: "Xiaofeng is out, and Linlin is about to be out." Big brother, you've finally come out of it. ”

Qi Zhengming took the hookah with a smile on his face, "Xiaowen is not bad, she is a sophomore in high school this year, studying liberal arts or science?"

"The girl is studying liberal arts like her sister, but the admission rate of the third middle school is not as high as that of the first middle school, so she is not as promising as her sister. Qi Zhenghai said that he was not satisfied, but his face was full of smiles, and his daughter was not bad.

"Second child, do you still look down on the third middle school? Xiaofeng is not a graduate of the third middle school, and he doesn't need to take the university exam, so he is guaranteed to study in a key university. Qi Zhenglin said and glared at his brother.

"Listening to Xiao Lin, Xiao Wen's grades are very good. Wait for Xiao Lin to finish the college entrance examination, and let Xiao Lin strengthen Xiao Wen again. In the past, Xiao Feng came back from the holidays to bring a few of them, but now that he is busy with work, he asked Xiao Lin to bring them. Xiaofeng, Xiaolin, and Xiaowen were originally in charge of your third sister, but now they are less busy with children's affairs. Xiao Chuan, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Lei also studied together during a few holidays, and in their generation, our team should also go out to study a few more. Qi Zhengming said that the learning of the younger generations in the family cannot be questioned.

"That's the best, a few wild boys in the province are crazy during the holidays. Alas, it is not easy for rural people to study, and they are not in a position to let their children go to kindergarten from an early age like in the city, and there are study classes, summer camps or something during the holidays. ”

……

The old brothers took advantage of the cold, smoked hookah, drank tea, and talked about whether the juniors were comfortable in their studies......

Qi Jingtao rode to the town's vegetable market six or seven kilometers away from his home, bought a few freshly baked pine-haired roast ducks, cut a few braised vegetables, and had them at the restaurant. There is no shortage of fresh vegetables at home, the vegetable market in the town is different from the city, the vegetables sold are basically planted by the nearby villagers themselves, that is, what is sold in the field, there are few vegetables trafficked from other places, and the varieties of flowers and colors are relatively single.

Seeing that it was still early, he took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to the meat and vegetables he bought and put them into the ring space for storage, and rode a motorcycle straight to the town middle school.

The town middle school is not far from the vegetable market, and it is a smoke away. During the May Day holiday, the campus was quiet, Qi Jingtao rode a motorcycle to the teacher's dormitory building, placed the motorcycle downstairs, opened the trunk and had a large food bag full of fruit snacks in his hand, and went upstairs with the food bag.

In the ring space, Lao Qi kept more and more fruit snacks, wine, and nutritional products inside, and told Qi Jingtao to use them casually. It's just that for some reason, he strongly asked Xiao Qi to help him buy more 1996 Tashan cigarettes and throw them in the space for storage. Since the 1996 version of Tashan cigarettes can be obtained through the ring space, Lao Qi no longer smokes other cigarettes from the 2016s. The 1996 version of Tashan cigarettes was easy to smoke in 2016, and it was particularly face-saving in front of outsiders, more imposing than those who smoked a box of cigarettes for 100 yuan.

Arrived on the third floor, listening to the crisp laughter of a little girl in the door, Qi Jingtao knocked on the door, "Little Baixue, open the door, open the door, open the door quickly, the big bad wolf is coming." ”

"Ah, my brother is here. The door opened, and a beautiful seven-year-old Lori rushed out, followed by three five or six-year-olds who chattered and greeted Qi Jingtao.

"Brother is here, all go in, there are good things. Qi Jingtao blocked the four little loli at the door, waving food bags and luring them into the house.

There is an interesting phenomenon in the town middle school, where the married faculty and staff families who work in this school have only given birth to little girls, and there have been no exceptions since the establishment of the school for decades. Those who have worked in this school and have been transferred out of the town middle school have both boys and girls, which is normal. No one could explain why, and the school staff laughed that they were sitting in their daughter's nest and had to raise their daughter.
