Chapter 281: The Beginning of the City Farmer's Market
After a month of retreat, Lin Zeng had the leisure to deal with other trivial matters at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, today's developed network communication allows him to receive and reply to various matters with his mobile phone. While eating, you can also send messages at the same time.
In his WeChat, there are already several different groups.
Zhang Hui is responsible for managing the user base of home planting walls.
The work report group of the design group of Xenodu Company.
Online store work group.
There are also groups used by Bai Qiming's four ordinary employees when reporting to work.
Later, even the Urban Farm Forum also opened a planting group, and Lin Zeng was specially added to it.
opened WeChat, a large number of messages jumped out, and the red reminder sign made Lin Zeng's heart tremble.
The first thing he read was the message that Jiang Hua gave him.
"Lao Lin, you have sent it, milk juice water can really make yogurt. "The message comes with a thick yogurt tossed with chopped strawberries, and it looks delicious.
"Except for cheese, which has never been made, the current processing and milk juice water can almost replace the use of cow's milk. "The photos that Jiang Hua sent to Lin Zeng, there were bread and cakes, and other foods.
"The milk fruit I got from you last time has been carved completely. As we said before, one of the five pieces will be left as my handicraft fee, and the rest will be kept for you. "Then there are all the pictures that have been sculpted.
Since she knew that the milk fruit could grow up, she was very interested in carving the milk fruit, and took a few milk fruit carvings from Lin Zeng.
Later, Jiang Hua found that the milk fruit tasted very good and was rich in nutritional value, so he was going to Lin Zeng to give a few pieces of milk fruit furniture to his parents. But how could Lin Zeng be willing to take money from Jiang Hua, and in the end, the two argued, and finally decided that Jiang Hua would help Lin Zeng carve, and the finished product of the carving would be used as the salary of Jiang Hua.
Originally, Lin Zeng planned to carve two pieces of Jiang painting, and he divided one for her, because the number of milk fruits dropped by the mother plant of milk fruit every day was very large, and for Lin Zeng, milk fruit seeds did not cost at all. However, it takes a lot of time to invest in engraving Jiang paintings.
But Jiang Hua was not willing at all.
"I wouldn't do such a cheap thing. These are the original words of Jiang Hua.
After some bargaining, they finally agreed to carve five pieces of milk fruit furniture, and Jiang Hua was free to choose one.
After reading Jiang Hua's message, Lin Zeng continued to click on other group messages.
The customer base of home planting walls is a theme almost every day, and every household is showing off their walls. Originally it was a grape wall, and later the varieties were constantly added, strawberry wall, watermelon wall, melon wall......
There are more and more varieties to choose from, from fruits to vegetables, and more and more orders.
The parents of those students who went to Qingyi Primary School to hold a parent-teacher conference even found a different greening company to plant their own family planting walls in batches.
Bai Qiming and the four of them are currently dealing with these customers who plant walls in their homes, establishing customer files, and arranging construction time.
There is even a catalogue menu of the types of existing planting walls, as well as photos from the field, for customers to choose from.
In the WeChat group of planting walls, my favorite thing to do is to post photos of my own planting walls. Then, as the melons and fruits began to bear fruit one after another, they began to harvest again.
Lin Zeng was already numb, but they still enjoyed it.
Yesterday who ate the first watermelon.
Whose loofah is ripe today.
Tomorrow, who is going to ask their children's classmates to come to the house to pick strawberries and make strawberry cakes.
It's all the short trivial things of these parents, and they also talk happily.
Because the business of planting walls began with the teachers of Qingyi Elementary School, after seeing the indoor grapes in the experimental office of the school, they asked Lin Zeng to arrange the plant wall for their residence.
Subsequently, word of mouth and mutual introductions were made, so there was a strong correlation between the customers who planted the wall, and many people knew each other.
At this time, it is the time when the first users of the planting wall start to harvest the fruit.
"I've been eating strawberries for three days in a row, and although they taste good, I want to change them to another taste. "--Liudao Hi
"Eating a watermelon every day is thinking about whether it will be bad for the stomach. But I lost two pounds. "--Helpless myopia
"My grapes are thinking about whether or not to make wine. It feels like a planting wall is too much for our family to collect. - I can't quit smoking
"Envy the people who choose fruits, it's really smart, I used to twitch my head and chose eggplant, and now three meals a day are all eggplant, and the eggplant in the refrigerator can no longer be placed. Eggplant has become an essential gift for me to visit relatives and friends. Eggplant consumes oil, and eating braised eggplant made me gain five pounds. /(tot)/~~"――Graffiti 2013
Lin Zeng watched the complaints of these urban farmers, and suddenly an interesting idea popped into his head, and everyone was at once.
"After having a harvest wall, do you think that the harvest is single? Looking at other people's planting walls, you also want to taste it? You can try to organize an urban farmer's market, and you can plant the fruits harvested on the wall and exchange them with each other. Even if you only grow one plant at home, you can still taste different fruits and vegetables. - The Urban Seed King
Lin Zeng's words made the planting wall customer group suddenly quiet, and then a large number of messages continued to swipe the screen.
"It's a great idea, in fact, my friends and I are already exchanging our harvests, but it would be nice to have a fixed place and a fixed time for everyone to share the fruits they grow and barter. "--Helpless myopia
"There is a small park near my house, there are not many people, the venue is very clean and spacious, do you want to open a market on weekends with friends in the neighborhood?"
"Okay, I know that street park, raise your hand to sign up, I have grapes. - I can't quit smoking
"I came to register, and all my friends who wanted to participate in this event came to sign up to see how many people there were. By the way, advertise, my eggplant is super delicious, don't miss it when you pass by, I want strawberries and watermelon to exchange. - Graffiti 2013
After Lin Zeng pointed out the concept of a farmer's market, many people quickly understood the meaning and began to organize the first event in a planned way.
In fact, the concept of a modern farmer's market is not well known in China.
However, in the cities and towns of the West, natural farmer's markets, or organic farmer's markets, are gradually emerging.
Regular market events allow participants to trade their home-grown natural and organic ingredients for sale at the market, some make fresh food, and some sell their own handmade handmade products.
This kind of farmer's market, emphasizing the current season, local farm products, is composed of nearby ecological small farmers as the main body, which is different from the sales model of agricultural products under the market economy, and is more similar to the market in the era of small farmer economy.
At present, many modern farmer's markets in China have appeared in some big cities such as Beijing and Haishi, while in second-tier cities such as Qinghe, the concept of farmers' markets is not prosperous, and even if there are organizers, the response is very flat.
Most of the places where citizens buy food ingredients are ordinary supermarkets and farmers' markets near their homes.
However, the farmer's market in this planting group has its own distinctive character.
First of all, each and every one of them is a grower. They are all plants provided by Xeno, Inc.
Second, they are not for profit. Every customer who builds a planting wall at home has a relatively large amount of money at home.
Therefore, their farmer's bazaar mainly uses their own surplus fruits in exchange for the harvest of other growers, so it is used in a barter way.
After Lin Zeng finished eating a bowl of rice, he smiled and watched the group quickly become active, and many diving urban farmers came out of the water to offer advice for the first Qinghe City Farmers' Market.
Looks like an event worth looking forward to, isn't it?
After adding a bowl of rice to himself, Lin Zeng clicked on the chat group of the design team.
"Call the boss, the office design is complete, come and see the boss!" - Milan
"My circle of friends is already hungry and thirsty, and I want to send ten consecutive hairs in nine squares. "- Excellence
"I have decided to move from a rental house to a company settlement, please ask the boss for approval!" - Man Jiang (To be continued.) )
