Chapter 70 Making Money Depends on Demonstration
Canghai said to the third uncle: "Uncle, why don't you rent a piece of land and wait for the grass to grow on the ground and get some sheep or something to raise?"
When Cang Shiyuan heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "I don't have the strength of yours!"
In this way, the first is that Cangshi is far from so much money, and the second is that the input and output are not proportional to his eyes, the money spent on the land in Canghai, how many villagers do not necessarily know, but how much is the sapling worth, the villagers still have some numbers in their hearts, and the money for planting saplings is what the villagers dare not think, for them to have this money for their children to go to school, get married, or go to the county to buy a storefront house to eat rent is better than throwing it here, even if it is to make this land can raise sheep, don't think about recovering the cost for more than ten years.
The folks are always so realistic.
"Your uncle doesn't have as much money in your pocket," Wei Wenkui said with a smile.
Canghai thought for a while and said: "Third uncle, Uncle Wei, otherwise, I am going to plant a batch of watermelons this year, if you two want to, you two can plant them with me, I still have some ways to do it in the magic capital, after planting, I will be responsible for selling it at that time, what do you think?"
"Watermelon?" Wei Wenkui immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Even if it is planted, how can you transport it out? How much does it cost to transport it to the town in a donkey cart and then to the county? When you transport it to the county, you will find that your melon is more expensive than other people's melons, one or two cents, who do you sell it to?"
Cang Shiyuan nodded and said: "It's this reason, we can not compete with the melon farmers around the county when we grow watermelons here, the land is good, and the melons produced are cheap, even if we plant them here, we can't sell them, and finally rot in the ground, I said Haiwazi, watermelons, you don't have to toss them anymore, it's not suitable."
Canghai laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart: That's because it's not suitable for you to plant, I grow watermelons here, not only do melons grow bigger, but they are also sweeter, I don't believe that there are times when there are good melons that can't be sold. And if we don't plant, we have to plant the whole ecology, and it may not work to sell it to a small county, but if it is sold to a big city like Modu, a rich person cries and shouts to eat safe food, and there should be no problem if it costs two or three yuan a pound.
Cang Shiyuan looked at the smile on Cang Hai's face and immediately understood that his eldest nephew didn't listen to the words of the two of them at all. Thinking about Canghai's strength again, he simply stopped persuading, who let this girl actually plant a tree.
Others don't plant, Canghai is naturally going to plant, for the psychology of the villagers Canghai really understands thoroughly, holding a steel collapse in his hand is eager to grab out the oil, so that they can't see a little benefit to plant watermelons, that's impossible, this thing is only planted by yourself, and make money, then the big guy will follow up and plant, if you don't make money, then nothing to talk about.
Wei Wenkui asked at Canghai: "Haiwazi, how many sheep are you going to raise this year? You give a number, and wait for everyone to go to the town to buy them together in a few days.
"This year, I raise more, not only sheep, I also raise more than a dozen cows, that is, we are famous here for the little cattle, choose a few breeding bulls, plus a dozen cows, if you can, and get some geese, of course, small chickens are indispensable, this year I am also ready to raise more chickens, buy a small hundred, pigs also need three or four heads......" Canghai counted with his fingers, and said that he found that he had to raise a lot of things this year.
These things are not mainly for sale, but to satisfy Canghai's own appetite, now buy things on the street, Canghai is still very uneasy, not to mention anything else, take beef as an example, some beef sellers in the town dare to take the price of general beef to sell grass-fed cattle, Canghai has not been once or twice, or the cattle raised by themselves are at ease.
Cang Shiyuan said: "You raise so many things by yourself. Do you want to raise it?"
"Chickens or something directly feed the millet to become, now the grass is growing here, maybe there will be some small insects or something, there is no problem with hundreds of chickens, there is no problem with raising pigs, the family harvested some millet last year, bran or something is placed at home, just to feed the pigs" Canghai said.
Feeding pigs is not only to feed the bran, the small vegetable garden at home is also a good thing for pigs to eat, Canghai planted such a vegetable garden alone, many vegetables did not wait for Canghai to eat and get old, this year to raise two pigs, old vegetables or something just to feed the pigs.
"Okay, you can make a note, okay, your family has caught up with a few and counted the ones bought" Wei Wenkui heard that Canghai was preparing so many things this year, and he was speechless, and secretly wondered if he would raise more at home.
Cang Shiyuan patted his ass and stood up at this time: "It's done, rest enough, let's start working."
When Canghai heard this, he immediately stood up: "Third uncle, you go home and rest, I have the work here."
"Can you do it alone?" asked Cang Shiyuan.
Canghai raised his arm and made a very powerful movement: "Third uncle, I'm not the kid I was a teenager more than ten years ago, I'm in my twenties, and you won't be able to catch up with me soon."
Cang Shiyuan heard it and said with a smile: "If you kid wants to catch up with me, it will take twenty years!"
After speaking, Cang Shiyuan patted Cang Hai's shoulder, turned around and took his things, and walked towards the village.
Canghai and Wei Wenkui each drove their own livestock and continued to work.
This time, the two of them worked until the sun set, the two lands were not far away, and the difference in efficiency between the two came up, although the big green mule of Wei Wenkui's family was a tall mule, but this work was not very good, of course, this was compared with the ugly donkey of the Canghai family, more than an hour The ugly donkey came back and ploughed more than ten ridges, and the big green mule only ploughed seven or eight ridges here, and he was stunned to rest in the middle.
The sun was about to set, and it hung red on the ridge to the west, without the heat of noon.
Put the plow on the flatbed, Canghai led the ugly donkey to the entrance of the village, went to the livestock shed below the entrance of the village, unloaded the plow and leaned against the corner, led the ugly donkey to the trough, Canghai took the tiger head and the iron head home.
When I got home, as soon as I washed my hands, the third aunt came over and called Canghai to come over for dinner.
"Haiwazi, don't do it, the family made one for you, go over and eat," Wei Qin said.
Canghai listened and responded directly.
After washing and changing the rubber boots, and rolling up the rubber boots and placing them at the kitchen door, Canghai motioned to Tietou and Hugong to take their basins, and then walked towards the old kiln of the third aunt's house.
When I arrived at the third aunt's house, I found that not only the third aunt and her family were there, but Wei Wenkui was also there, which was also understandable, it was impossible for the third aunt to cook without bringing her brother.
Dinner is very simple, it is still noodles, but because of the hard work of the farm, there are big ribs in the noodles, the big bones of the pig's back, and there is not much meat on it, but for the people of the town, such a dinner is already very good.
There were no tables or stools, so everyone sat down at the mouth of the kiln with their bowls, and ate by themselves by the light in the kiln.
Soon everyone's eyes focused on Tietou's body, watching an orangutan pose like a human eating noodles, and soon Wei Wenkui and Cang Shiyuan were happy.
"Haiwazi, you monkey is so interesting."
"Orangutan, the iron head is an orangutan" Canghai had to correct everyone's name again.
As soon as the correction was completed here, another voice came from not far away: "Haiwazi, you monkey still looks like a human."
As soon as Canghai looked up, he found Hu Shijie, Grandpa Hu was holding his hands behind his back, bending over slightly, and from time to time put his cigarette pouch in his mouth and smoked.
Canghai didn't bother to explain: "What's the matter with you?"
Hu Shijie said: "What else can I do, seeing that the weather is good, everyone is discussing buying chicken seedlings or something, other families have counted it, just send you a household, I just want to ask, Haiwazi, how much are your families going to raise today?"
Wei Wenkui said: "I told Haiwazi that his family wants a lot this year, not only chickens and sheep, but also geese and cows."
"So much? are you fed over there, let's talk about something else, there is no problem in spring and summer, I have seen your land over there, the grass grows well, but winter is not easy, last year the ground was frozen and there was no grass just with straw or something?" Hu Shijie asked.
Canghai smiled: "It's okay, I'll wait until autumn to see it, it's really not okay to get some silage."
"If you have a plan, then when you finish eating, make a list, and we will go to the town to buy it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Hu Shijie said.
"Uncle, eat a little at home?" Wei Qin said politely.
Hu Shijie waved his hand when he heard this: "No need, I just ate it."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked away with his hands behind his back.
After taking two steps, the old man stopped again, turned his head to Wei Wenkui and said, "Wenkui, there is no ginkgo biloba in that tree factory in the town, why don't you choose another tree."
"There's no ginkgo, then it's okay to change it to something else, uncle, you can do it, just give the right number anyway," Wei Wenkui said.
Hu Shijie nodded, took a step and continued to walk along the downhill path to his kiln.
Canghai asked curiously, "Uncle Wei, are you going to plant trees?"
"It's not just me, except for your family, every house in the village is preparing to plant some more trees this year, and nine out of ten of the trees planted last year have survived, and they all want to plant some more this year, and they will be able to sell them for money in a few years, which is also an income, isn't it?" Wei Wenkui said.
In the past, there was a lack of water to plant trees that did not live, but now there is no shortage of water and there is an experience of the previous year, everyone wants to have more trees, anyway, it is a matter of occupying a pit of land, there is nothing here is more land, and the villagers spontaneously planted trees, ready to cut down and sell them for money in a few years.
"Also, planting trees is also a money-making business," Canghai nodded.
Canghai didn't expect that he was not going to plant trees this year, and the villagers were ready to plant trees one by one, but planting trees is also a good thing, even if they are cut and sold after two years, as long as they taste the sweetness, the villagers will continue to plant.
