Eco Farm by Farmers on the Fly

Chapter 11: Pastoral

Several people had a meal together at noon, and they chatted all over the world, because there was Guo Yang, who was not very familiar with him, he didn't say anything serious, but only said in general terms that he would go to school in the capital in the future, and he would contact him more there. Xu Jingyi is in the Department of Finance of Beijing Normal University, Zhang Tao is in the Department of Aircraft of Hangda University, Zhang Chenglong is in the Department of Archaeology of Beijing University, and Guo Yang is in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University. Speaking of which, Guo Yang is stronger than the schools of several of his classmates.

Later, Xu Jingyi asked Tian Chuan: "You are very powerful, the more you borrow the car, the more advanced you are." Tian Chuan didn't want to hide it, and said: "I didn't borrow it this time, I volunteered to go to the capital, and I made some money by speculating in stocks, so I bought it myself." Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, how much money they made and how much money they could buy more than 200,000 cars. Tian Chuan didn't elaborate, only said that he caught up with a wave of good situations and made a lot of money, so he bought it for the convenience of going home.

After eating at noon, Xu Jingyi proposed to let the local tyrant with a car send everyone home, Tian Chuan agreed very cheerfully, saying that the lady was first, and sent Xu Jingyi first, and then Guo Yang. After Guo Yang got out of the car, Tian Chuan turned back to Zhang Tao who was sitting in the back seat and said, "That's all buddy can help you, and you have to work hard yourself." Zhang Tao said: "Brother owes you a great favor, you don't need to help anything else, as long as you are a good light bulb in a timely manner and do a good job of stirring up, I will be satisfied." If you help again, I'll worry that you're going to help the beautiful woman into your own house. ”

In the evening, Tian Chuan invited Li Tao's family to have a meal at the government guest house, and Li Tao introduced Liu Xiaojun, the manager of the guest house, to Tian Chuan. Liu Xiaojun heard that Tian Chuan was a fresh graduate of No. 1 Middle School and wanted to hold a thank-you banquet, and said happily: "The thank-you banquet for the graduates of No. 1 Middle School, even if there is no greeting from Secretary Li, I will do my best." I also came out of No. 1 Middle School, who is your teacher?" Tian Chuan said the name of Teacher Zhou Changjiang, and Liu Xiaojun exclaimed, it turned out that he was also a student of Teacher Zhou. Tian Chuan hurriedly got up to toast, calling him senior brother, and the relationship between the two immediately became closer.

During the banquet, Li Tao asked Tian Chuan and Zhou Jiahui what projects they were busy with all day recently, Tian Chuan said about the new wine, and by the way, he helped Zhou Jiahui sell it to Liu Xiaojun: "Senior brother, when it comes to this new wine, it is definitely a lofty thing." "Boasted about the grade of the emperor's demeanor. finally said to Liu Xiaojun: "Zhou Jiahui is a bit of a charlatan, but he definitely doesn't say it." Next time I will be the east, let's talk about it, this person can be friends. ”

After dinner, Tian Chuan said goodbye to Li Tao's family and Liu Xiaojun, and made a phone call to Zhou Jiahui, saying that he had made an appointment with Liu Xiaojun and Li Tao for dinner, and Zhou Jiahui was very grateful. In a hurry to settle the matter, I asked Tagawa when he was free. Tagawa thought for a moment and said, "It's scheduled for next Saturday or Sunday." There is a farmhouse in Jixian County, the iron pot stew is very distinctive, and there are fishing, picking and hunting projects, which is very good, do you think it will work?" Zhou Jiahui said no problem. Tian Chuan called Li Tao and Liu Xiaojun separately, and everyone made an appointment to leave at 7 o'clock next Saturday morning, play in Jixian County for a day, and come back on Sunday morning. Tian Chuan asked Zhou Jiahui to find a commercial car or minibus, and find an old driver to drive, so that he would not be too tired to drive and it would be inconvenient to drink.

After arranging the trip, Tian Chuan returned to the room arranged by Liu Xiaojun for him and slept for one night. Early the next morning, he came to a fishing tackle shop introduced by Liu Xiaojun yesterday. I'm going to go fishing next week, Li Tao and Jian Xiaojun are both fishing fans, and they should have better equipment. Tagawa was also a quasi-professional fishing fan in his previous life, and his skills were not too far behind those of several famous fishing masters. But in this life, I don't have a fishing rod, so I must prepare a set of fishing tackle for myself.

When he entered the store, Tagawa suddenly felt an incomparable headache. The shop is full of short fiberglass poles, stupid and thick, and their weight is incomparable. The only two carbon rods are also short-jointed, pull them out and try it, one of the 5.4-meter long rods is too far back, and it is easy to break the rod when it encounters a big fish, so I have to don't want it. Another 4.5 meters is OK, the waist strength is more sufficient, Tian Chuan is more satisfied, a question of the price, it is 300, and it is very painful, in desperation, I still want two, I have to buy a backup for the two guests. Other poles bought a few fiberglass ones, and this broken pole alone cost him more than 1,000 yuan.

In his previous life, Tagawa learned Taiwan fishing, or competitive fishing, but there is no decent Taiwan fishing equipment in the current store. The fishing line has to be tried to know the performance; the fishing hook has no barbs, so you have to choose the small thorns and then process it yourself; there is no way to determine the fishing drift, it is a big deal to soak it with water and then use it; fortunately, there are space beans and drift seats, and there is no lead seat to only be reconciled.

Looking at the bait again, it is even more helpless, almost all of it is hand-rubbed bait, forget it, buy some basic bait and go back to make it yourself. However, there are fishing boxes and forts, as well as fish guards and nets, which are already good. I chose some bait at random, and it cost nearly 2,000 yuan at the checkout.

I went to the wholesale market and bought some food flavors, amino acids, wheat eggs, etc., and I was no longer entangled.

On the way home, Tian Chuan suddenly thought of a serious question: Is the farmhouse he was familiar with in his previous life open now? I remember that the boss seemed to have said that they opened in the early 90s, and he was not very sure, and there was no telephone, so he had to go and see it in advance.

When Tagawa returned home, his parents knew that he was home today and did not go to work. He simply took his parents to Jixian County to play for two days before talking. Make a phone call and call my sister's family to go with me. Although there are 6 people, the family is not fat, and the space of the Passat is large, but it does not seem crowded. In this era, there were still few cars on the road, and the police basically did not check the problem of overloading.

The location of the farmhouse is in the north of the county seat of Jixian County, just into the mountain not far away, the Jinji Expressway has not been repaired, Tian Chuan drove along the national highway for 3 hours to arrive, there are many big cars pulling sand and gravel on the road, and they can't drive the speed at all. Fortunately, this farmhouse has been open for more than 1 year, the hunting ground has not yet opened, and there is no special picking garden, but a garden next to it is the owner's house, which grows a variety of vegetables, and early corn and soybean peanuts in the field can also be eaten. Two fish ponds are already there, one is a polyculture of carp and crucian carp, and the other is a semi-wild pond, where there are common fish, but there are fewer big fish.

The owner of the farmhouse is also surnamed Tian, called Tian Jianming, just in his early 30s, worked in a big city for a few years, and opened this farmhouse when he came back with knowledge. It's just that there is a lack of sales tools, and business is not very good.

Tagawa looked at the overall environment, and agreed with the boss on the service items for next weekend, put forward some special requirements, the boss agreed to them one by one, and finally Tagawa asked the boss to lay new sheets and quilts for the five rooms booked, and the three rooms to be used today are also according to this requirement. At noon, I ate a large pot of stewed fish, goose and pork stew, accompanied by several seasonal vegetables, which tasted very good, and the family enjoyed eating it very much. In the afternoon, Tagawa tried fishing with bait by the fish pond, and his parents and sister's family went up the mountain to play.

In the evening, the family came back with a hare and a pheasant, the hare and pheasant were played by Boss Tian yesterday, Tian Jianming was very happy, saying that Tian Chuan's family is a lucky star, and it is not easy to hit usually. Tian Chuan mentioned the fish protection, he had already caught dozens of catties of fish, selected a few to eat at night, and poured the others back into the pond.

For dinner, I ate hares and pheasants that I hunted during the day, as well as fish caught by Tian Chuan, and the vegetables that were just picked from the garden, and the vegetables were fried well. At dinner, Tian Chuan took out the Yongyang Chuan that he brought, Tian Jianming tasted it, and praised Yongyang Ao, Tian Chuan said about Yongyang Chuan by the way, hoping that Tian Jianming could sell it in the store, and Tian Jianming agreed on the spot.

Later, when it came to the construction of the farmhouse, Tian Chuan bluntly expressed his love for green vegetable planting, and said: "Don't tell you, brother, I just got admitted to the National Agricultural University this year, and I just want to prepare for planting green food, and I am very interested in the garden next to you." He looked at Tian Jianming, who looked guarded, and said: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not interested in farmhouses, I just want to explore the profit model of some green vegetables, and I want to exchange some ideas with you." ”

For the profitability of green vegetables, Tagawa proposed two models:

One is the picking garden model, which allows customers to pick ripe fruits and vegetables from the orchard and vegetable garden on their own, and can also be hosted separately as an activity at the farmhouse. The harvested produce is owned by the customer and is priced according to the quantity. As a tourism project, the price should be higher than the market price of these agricultural products, after all, customers enjoy the joy of harvesting during the picking process, but at the same time, it will cause some waste. This model of picking garden can form a certain complementary effect with the farmhouse.

The other is the home vegetable garden model. The vegetable garden is divided into small plots of about 10 square meters, and the fee is charged annually. Customers are free to grow any vegetables in their own garden. During the planting process, customers can enjoy the whole process from sowing to harvesting. The operator should give some guidance to the customer and help the customer with field management when the customer is not available.

Before the mid-90s, the concept of a picking garden and a family vegetable garden had not yet been popularized, let alone a combination with a farmhouse, and he could imagine how attractive this kind of activity would be to urban people. At the same time, Tagawa suggested that he combine these two models with the sale of finished vegetables and fruits, and when the harvest or the harvest in the home garden is insufficient, customers will take the initiative to buy some.

In addition, Tagawa also put forward some opinions on Tian Jianming's farmhouse management, and he suggested that Tian Jianming change the form of the daily fixed fee for food and lodging, and divide it into two parts: accommodation and catering, so as to facilitate customers with fewer people to choose their favorite food, and also improve the overall income level through food and beverage fees.

For the interior decoration of the guest rooms, Tagawa suggested referring to the express hotel, adding a separate indoor toilet, and trying to improve the indoor comfort to adapt to the habits of urban customers. At this point, Tagawa said, "I have met some city people who have tried farmhouses, and they generally report that the most uncomfortable thing is to take a bath and go to the toilet. If you put a little more thought into this, you will have a lot more repeat customers. ”

Finally, when it comes to the problem of insufficient customers, Tian Chuan does not have a good solution, but suggests that Tian Jianming start from the railway station and long-distance bus station in the county, spread advertisements to attract guests, and then establish contact with the taxis in the county, and send guests to the taxi commission. Tagawa believes that the most important thing is to satisfy every customer who has already arrived at the store, and to make each customer a free volunteer publicist.

The two talked so much that they didn't sleep until midnight. When they got up the next day, they were surprised to find that the two people they had just met yesterday were already brothers. Before leaving after breakfast, Tian Jianming refused to accept Tian Chuan's money, and said: "What money do our brothers still talk about, come over when you are free, and our brothers will have a good drink." ”

On the car home, my sister asked Tian Chuan curiously: "Xiao Chuan, why did you fool the owner of the farmhouse and let him not even collect money?" Tian Chuan smiled: "You don't know this, your brother and I are full of character and knowledge." Last night, I had a deep conversation with Boss Tian for half a night, and the five-body body he admired was thrown to the ground, and he immediately bowed his head and bowed, and he didn't dare to collect money anymore. ”

My mother said in the back row: "It's not easy for people to open a store, don't lie to people." Tian Chuan said, "Don't worry, Mom." I talked to him about the development of green agricultural products and was ready to cooperate with him. ”
