Lamei also discussed with Ding Qiaogai that she would contract 500 acres of land to plant fruit trees in the name of Ding Qiaogai and his wife near her mother-in-law's Majiazhuang.

The initial investment is all to Lamei, and Ding Qiaogai and his wife will be paid. After the proceeds, four and six are divided: Lamei wants six, and Ding Qiaogai and his wife want four.

Ding Qiaogai and his wife did put a lot of effort into finding Ding Tingting. Before Ding Tingting was found, she was still looking for her while working, and she spent all her savings, and her adopted son Ma Xiaoming has always been taken care of by her mother-in-law.

Lamei's plan made the couple very happy: Isn't it pie in the sky that they can earn wages without investing?

It's in the bend again, and people are familiar with things. Soon a contract was signed for 500 acres of land.

It's just that there are some objections to Lamei's big family home to build five acres of land. "Fruit trees don't usually need to be looked at, but they need to be taken care of before they are planted to prevent children from harming and thieves from stealing.

"Having a garden house will solve the problem. There is no need to build so many houses. They all need double rooms, who do you want to live here for a long time?"

Lamei insisted on her opinion: "Be prepared, in case you invite a master from afar, it is easy to arrange." When the hired workers are tired, they can also go inside to rest. ”

Ding Qiaogai: "Employees all commute to and from work by the hour, come by electric car, and go by electric car, where can they have time to rest inside?

Lamei insisted on her opinion on various reasons that seemed to be a child. Ding Qiaokai couldn't persuade him, not to mention that the money was from her, and he could only rely on her. Fortunately, there is a shelter in the wind and rain. Spend a lot of money on small things. Maybe that's what the rich do!

…………………………………………

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, autumn has arrived. After the harvest of the few autumn crops, there are only slices of carrots and vegetables left in the fields.

Lamei looked at the green carrot tassels and thought about it.

Lamei has checked on the Internet that carrot tassels contain a large amount of carotene, which has a variety of health effects such as improving the body's immunity.

Carrot tassels also contain a substance that lowers blood sugar, making it a healthy food that helps diabetics control their blood sugar.

Carrot tassels also contain potassium succinate, which helps prevent hardening of the arteries and lowers cholesterol.

Carrot tassels also have anti-cancer effects, and women can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer after eating.

But carrot tassels have long been a waste in rural areas. Just because the price of carrots is low, the tassels are even less valuable, and vegetable farmers are reluctant to sell hard.

In reality, people do not have the habit of eating carrot tassels, and generally cut them off, dry them and feed them to livestock. Lamei didn't know that last year's carrot tassels were fed to the team's cattle.

Knowing this year, she decided to apply modern knowledge to the fifty years of the last century. After people get to know it, develop it into an industry, and everyone will do it, so that the poor people can support themselves and generate some income for themselves.

When Lamei said to the people, the people laughed so loudly: "Carrot tassels are used to feed livestock, where can people eat them? Lamei, is there not much food for the white-haired grandmother, and she wants to find some substitute food? The starch nest has already made people bored, and if you eat carrots and cherry seeds, who will be able to eat them!"

Lamei smiled: "It's not for everyone to be the staple food, but as a dish, we can make less, taste it first." ”

At Lamei's insistence, the captain Wang Guilan sent two female semi-laborers to the carrot field with Lamei, brought the crisp and tender tassels from the upper part, washed them, controlled them dry, cut them into small pieces of one to two centimeters, mixed with cornmeal, and steamed a basket of drawers to get enough (homonym, a kind of food). People all shared some and thought it was delicious, and Fang believed that what Lamei said was true.

Immediately afterwards, Lamei steamed a basket of corn dumplings filled with carrots and tassels.

Making dumplings is more troublesome than steaming: blanch the washed carrot tassels with boiling water, squeeze out part of the water, cut them into 1 to 2 cm pieces, put salt and a little sesame oil, mix well, and then make a stuffed dough with your hands, and then cover the stuffed dough with cornmeal.

Roll around until you can't see the stuffing and the dry cornmeal on the outside is soaked through, then steam in the pot.

This technique Lamei learned from her younger sister Gu Xinru in her previous life.

In modern times, Wang Guiyong also planted a small piece of carrot at home and ate it himself. Gu Xinru knows how to maintain her health, knowing that carrot tassels are nutritious, can lower blood sugar, prevent arteriosclerosis and lower cholesterol, and regular consumption also has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure, so she eats it.

At first, I steamed enough, but later I learned to steam dumplings from my neighbors, and I thought it was better than taking enough, so I often steamed them. When Lamei went to visit the door, she gave her one. Lamei asked her how to do it, which happened to come in handy in reality.

The dumplings are steamed, and because they are made of small grains of red cornmeal, the dumplings have a golden appearance. When you break it open, the thin skin is like an egg shell, and the filling is emerald green, exuding a fragrance.

Compared with taking enough, it is many times more delicious, and people are vying to eat it.

As a result, in the canteen of the 11th team, there was one more meal - carrot tassel dumplings, which was distributed to people to eat.

Lamei took the dumplings to Hyundai's own steamed bun house to test sell. Since the size of the dumplings is about the same as the steamed buns, according to the price of the steamed buns, there are four yuan per dollar.

I didn't expect to be shot by people. People who didn't buy it still asked when they would sell it again.

After the trial sale of Lamei was successful, she discussed with the real captain Wang Guilan and asked the labor force in the team to participate in the steamed carrot tassel dumplings, and she bought them at two cents.

Wang Guilan calculated an account: if all the female laborers of the whole team were arranged to participate, some carrots and tassels, and some steamed in the canteen, at the end of the day, two or three thousand could be steamed.

According to the average number, 2,500 pieces is 50 pieces, and they can be sold for about ten days until they are shaved carrots. It is 500 yuan, the income of the production team in the previous year.

But what is the use of Lamei asking for so many vegetable dumplings?

"Lamei, is it how much is steamed in the canteen, and how much do you collect?" Wang Guilan asked worriedly.

Lamei: "Yes. As long as you can steam it, I can harvest it, and I want as much as I want!"

Wang Guilan: "In this way, I can organize the labor force to steam." This is a way to make money, although it is short, but it can sell for a lot of money!

"Lamei, let's be honest with you, our team didn't see so much money in the last year! Now we don't even have the money to make lamp oil. The autumn grain harvest is poor, and the public grain money is not expected. Now it's just about selling carrots to make some money.

"But it's not easy to sell, this year's rain is late, each team has a lot of planting, who still spends money to buy someone else's! I'm worried about how to spend this winter, it's good to have this income, keep a part of the team, give a part to the members, everyone can pass the winter." ”
