Chapter 227: Millet Spicy Has Become Popular
Rural people pay more attention to traditional festivals, although the tricks played are not as many as those in the city, and the festival atmosphere is not as lively as those in the city, but the rural people pay more attention to the connotation of traditional festivals and live more humane.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the orchard is closed today. Even those necessary personnel on duty, Qi Zhengming deliberately went home for a reunion dinner on holidays in batches. Qiguanying and the granary river orchard are not far away, and no matter how busy there are in the orchard during the big festival, there is still time for everyone to go home in batches for a reunion dinner.
The workers who went home early for dinner had already returned to duty, and in the middle of the month, other orchard duty staff who had gone home for the Mid-Autumn Festival also came back one after another. As the night deepens, the quiet orchard is even more popular.
These people in the village may have stinky problems of one kind or another, but the rural people are more knowledgeable and humane. You genuinely care about them, and they think more about you. The orchard gives them a holiday to go home for the festival, and the fruits and mooncakes for the festival are still distributed by the orchard according to the capitation. Back at home, the family had a happy reunion dinner, and the family had seen the big white moon together, and it was time for them to come back to duty. In their minds, they took Qi Zhengming's salary, and there was no reason for Qi Zhengming's family to live alone in the orchard on duty.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, those who should come back and those who shouldn't come back are coming back one after another. Especially the brothers of the Qi family, not only did they come back, but even the juniors who went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival also came to play in the orchard.
The Qi family came over and saw that the Qi family was admiring the moon by the reservoir. The other workers who came back simply took the food they had brought from their homes and went to the reservoir where the Qi family gathered. The night is getting deeper, there are more and more people, and it is getting more and more lively.
The cousins and cousins of the Qi family who came to the orchard to play for the festival began to be busy, serving tea and pouring water, taking moon cakes and cutting fruits, and they were all busy, enthusiastically greeting the workers who came to admire the moon together. The couple who came to the countryside for the Mid-Autumn Festival for the first time really saw the simple and true temperament of rural people, and joined the ranks of bragging and chatting with great interest.
Everyone knows that the two of them are Su Min's parents, university professors of Yunnan Central Teachers College and teachers of No. 3 Middle School, and they are even more reverent and enthusiastic in talking with this big intellectual couple. However, in the actual situation of rural people, they cannot talk about any high-level topics. Mae Sha Feng will also guide the topic, and gradually, the topic of people's talk turns into reality, when it comes to the orchard's main product, millet spicy, this topic is worth talking about.
Last season, the orchard was planted with millet spicy in central Yunnan, and the yield was not as high as that of other pepper varieties. Even after the nourishment of the ring space, the water conservancy conditions in the orchard are good, and the workers are carefully managed, the rice pepper grows very well, and the average yield of green peppers harvested per mu is only more than 2,200 kilograms. With such good farming conditions and such a small yield, there should be room for improvement, after all, it is the first year of planting experience that is insufficient.
However, however, the market retail price of Yunnan millet spicy produced in the orchard is more than ten times that of ordinary chili peppers, and even sold at a high price of more than 20 times. Finally, there is no price, and it is impossible for ordinary people to taste it. Except for the time when it was just listed, it appeared in central Yunnan and Chuncheng for more than ten days, and then it was never seen again.
It is said that those millet spicy in central Yunnan were taken away in batches by foreign merchants who discovered their uniqueness. In particular, several big customers in Sichuan Province who run hot pot businesses have taken hundreds of tons at a time.
People in Sichuan Province love to eat spicy, can eat chili peppers, can eat spicy, and are more proficient in the cooking of spicy dishes. Sichuan cuisine is even more spicy to the extreme, Sichuan restaurants have been opened all over the world.
The Sichuan-style hot pot that people all over the country know, millet spicy is one of the unique condiments. Of course, it is the best in the south of Caiyun, the place of origin, Sichuan Province and Caiyun are neighbors, and the big sellers of Caiyun millet spicy are those catering practitioners in Sichuan Province.
After Shi Lei's sales of Yunnan millet spicy were purchased and used in Sichuan-style hot pot, it is said that those diners who were lucky enough to taste it went crazy, and those hot pot restaurant owners also went crazy.
They did not hesitate to collect millet spicy in central Yunnan at a high price for snapping up. Those people with a particularly sensitive sense of smell rushed to Central Yunnan in person, found Shi Lei, who exclusively sold millet spicy in Central Yunnan, and took away a large number of millet spicy in Central Yunnan. In this way, the small output of Yunnan millet spicy has become extremely expensive.
As the so-called flowers bloom in the wall and fragrance outside the wall, the crazy buying behavior of merchants in Sichuan Province has boosted the local market and attracted the attention of other merchants in the surrounding area. More people know that Yunnan millet is spicy, and when they eat Yunnan millet spicy, they are lost in the special spicy taste of Yunnan millet spicy.
Waiting for the locals to react, and then come to find and purchase the Yunnan Central Yunnan millet spicy produced in their hometown, it is gone? And the sales price has reached a desirable height, and it is not out of stock.
Those who did not give up continued to inquire and continue to seek, only to find that the production of the inconspicuous millet spicy that had been tasted for free by passers-by on the streets of Chuncheng in central Yunnan was too small, and most of them had been booked at high prices by shrewd merchants from Sichuan Province.
People are so peculiar, what you can't get is a good thing, let alone a good thing. Those who are lucky enough to taste the spicy millet in Yunnan are even more relished, and it is even more amazing to show off the unique taste they have tasted.
People who have the ability and conditions have come to the door, and they have to get some Yunnan millet spicy taste no matter what. However, things are so scarce and so expensive, as a result, the millet in central Yunnan is completely popular. Shi Lei and they simply packaged the Yunnan millet spicy and sold it as a high-end gift.
What price does the Central Yunnan Agricultural Trade Company sell for the Central Yunnan Millet Spicy? However, everyone knows that Qi Zhengming handed over millet spicy to the Central Yunnan Agricultural Trade Company for exclusive operation and exclusive sales at a unified price of 20 yuan a kilogram. According to Qi Zhengming's guaranteed plus commission settlement, these people who come to work in the orchard can easily calculate how much their commission is. They will all get a full harvest, with an average of almost 60,000 yuan in bonuses each.
This is a net income, they do not need to invest in other materials and production costs other than labor, and their income is far higher than that of the outstanding young people in the village who go out to work on infrastructure.
And most of these people who come to work in the orchards are those in the village who are forty or fifty years old and can only dig crops in the land. Although the commission will not be settled until the end of the year, they have no complaints. They are satisfied, and they hope that the orchard can get better and better, and grow more and more.
After the spicy harvest of millet in central Yunnan, a large number of whistles were planted on the slopes of the orchard to accumulate green manure and cultivate soil strength. Six or seven hundred acres of strawberries are planted on the flat land in the valleys, and there are more than 20 acres of vegetable gardens in the corner fields to supply the daily needs of the orchard. The whistle doesn't require much time and effort for them to take care of, and the strawberries have already begun to be harvested.
Strawberries are also a delicate fruit, and they come every morning and evening to take care of them, harvest the ripe fruits, and sort and pack them. They still don't have to worry about sales, and Shi Lei's Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company will come and sell every day.
With the full spread of cherry planting in the granary river, some people in the surrounding villages followed suit and began to consider planting cherries, and cherry seedlings became a sought-after commodity. The cherry seedlings here are all high-quality seedlings suitable for the climate and environment of central Yunnan, and the cultivation of fruit tree seedlings is naturally the daily operation project of the orchard.
Besides, the orchard is not only a planting industry, but also a breeding industry. At present, the scale is not large, but raising pigs, rabbits, chickens and geese can not only solve the daily meat supply of the orchard, but also provide a large amount of organic fertilizer for the orchard. Pig manure, chicken manure and whistle green manure are accumulated and fermented to produce enough organic fertilizer to meet the fertilizer supply of the orchard.
Those villagers who can keep bees also raise bees in suitable places in the valleys to solve the pollination problem of fruit trees and crops in the valleys.
There are planned and unplanned things in the orchard, as long as they are reasonable, they are happening naturally. All of this, they are not busy in vain, the financial management team led by Su Min naturally has a set of assessment system for evaluation, and they also have their own commission income.
In this relatively closed mountain valley, with the solution of the water source problem, a vibrant ecological environment has taken shape, just waiting for it to slowly develop and grow!
