At Yu Lixiang's home, she and her parents are carefully arranging the large cabbage leaves.

These leaves are a green pinkish-green, straight leaves, each leaf is between 60 and 80 centimeters in diameter, round shape, although they have been picked for most of the day, they still look fresh and verdant, without the slightest lack of water and softness.

"Ah Xiang, does your boss really accept this vegetable leaf?" You Lixiang's mother is an ordinary village woman who takes care of household chores at home all day long, with a gentle personality, but her vision is not wide.

"I've been farming for most of my life, and I've never heard that cabbage leaves can be sold for money!" You Lixiang's father, holding his trouser legs, shook his head in disbelief at all. He spoke of disapproval, but the movement of his hand wiping the leaves did not slow down at all.

On the spacious round table in front of You Lixiang, there was a soft ruler, she picked up a cabbage leaf, compared it on the soft ruler, measured the size, and said: "Leaves under sixty-five centimeters are the cheapest, ten yuan a piece." Sixty-five to seventy-five centimeters in size, you can buy fifteen yuan per piece. Seventy-five centimeters to eighty-five centimeters can be bought for twenty-two dollars. ”

You Lixiang told her parents the quotation, and the old couple were dumbfounded and forgot the work in hand.

"Girl, you didn't get your mother, did you? This is not a gold leaf, how can it be sold for such an expensive price?" You Lixiang looked at the cabbage leaf in her hand blankly, not knowing whether to believe the price her daughter told her.

If the money is really calculated according to each leaf, is their cabbage on these two acres of land not a big amount of money that they dare not think of?

"I didn't lie to you. Yu Lixiang's hand touched the surface of the cabbage leaf coated with fine wax, this thin layer of white fine wax, so that the surface of the leaf showed a special texture, "Now this leaf is this price, I used to be the owner of a garment factory, and now she specializes in buying this kind of leaf." In the future, if there are more people planting, the price may come down, but no matter what, it will not be a loss to plant. ”

"What can you do with this leaf?" You Lixiang's mother finally came back to her senses, wiping the surface of the leaf with a slighter and more delicate force, looking more careful and serious than washing the leaf.

"Sew raincoats. "When the leaves are ripe, this color is the color that does not change after being picked, and it can be sewn together, making it a very good waterproof garment." ”

Yu Lixiang shook out a little of the water from the cup next to her and poured it on a cabbage leaf.

A splash of water, falling on the surface of the leaves, naturally forming crystal clear balls, gently shaking the leaves, these water droplets quickly slid to the ground, as for the surface of the cabbage leaves, there is no water mark left.

"What? making clothes?"

"Can you wear this dress? Doesn't it break after two days?"

The leaves of cabbage do not stick to water, and the vegetable farmers who have planted it know it. When watering cabbage, the droplets that fall on the leaves will quickly roll off, and there will be no droplets left on the surface of the leaves.

But the function of making vegetable leaves into clothes is really beyond the imagination of the two old men, and they have been entangled for a long time, and it is still difficult to accept the situation of making clothes from leaves.

"Don't worry, this raincoat is still exported abroad! The price of a piece is thousands of yuan! Anyway, as long as you know that someone collects it, we will sell it, if it weren't for one of my classmates working in Xenomorph Seed Company, where would I be able to get this kind of sought-after seed. ”

After growing vegetables for decades, I learned that vegetable leaves can be sold as clothing fabrics.

You Lixiang's parents feel that the world is changing too fast, and they really don't understand.

"I'll make you a raincoat later, and you'll understand. ”

You Lixiang's mother subconsciously shook her head and refused: "What are you doing for us, wasting money, making a raincoat can be sold for a lot of money!"

This is a raincoat worth thousands of yuan, wearing it on her body, she feels uncomfortable, it is better to use the coat and broken umbrella at home for more than ten years, anyway, it can shelter from the wind and rain.

No matter what kind of mentality her parents had, You Lixiang still used the evening time to sew a long buttoned raincoat for each member of the family, and even her brother's little nephew who went to kindergarten also had one.

Although what he said was awkward, when he really wore the waterproof coat made of cabbage leaves on a rainy day, You Lixiang's parents really felt that the price of this raincoat was thousands of yuan abroad, and it was not unreasonable.

The degree to which it is easy to use is not comparable to the broken clothes and umbrellas at home.

Even if it is pouring rain and the raindrops the size of beans fall on the body, they will not stay on the fabric of the raincoat at all, and when the smoke rolls to the ground, they will fly out for a distance without sticking to the body at all.

The fabric made of leaves is straight but not stiff, waterproof but not airtight, and it is not at all like an ordinary raincoat, cold and stuffy.

No matter how long you walk in the rain, the surface of the fabric will remain smooth and clean and will not get soaked in water.

Originally, You Lixiang's parents thought that the quality of the clothes made of this vegetable leaf could be good? Maybe it would be less than two days before it cracked into slag.

But this cabbage raincoat is of very good quality.

The raincoat that the girl made for them, they used it for two whole years before there were cracks in the seams, and they could continue to use it if they mended it.

The first batch of mature vegetable leaves were cleaned up by You Lixiang's family, sorted and sorted, and sent by courier to the city where You Lixiang once worked.

The recipient is Yu Yuxin, the female boss of the garment factory where You Lixiang once worked.

Yu Yuxin is a capable woman who started from scratch more than a decade ago and established a factory specializing in OEM processing of foreign clothing.

Originally, this industry was very popular, especially ten years ago, with low labor costs and many import and export orders, she really accumulated wealth.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the small countries around China have joined the competition in this industry, they have cheaper labor, and more preferential policies, at the same time, the labor cost of Huaguo is increasing year by year, Yu Yuxin's garment factory business is declining, after two consecutive years of losses, she began to look in other directions.

In the past two years, the business related to the special plants of the secret realm has become more and more popular.

From indoor plants, to plant spaces, to a variety of functional plants, as long as the business is related to secret plants, it is a profitable business.

Both growers and middlemen are able to make good profits.

Yu Yuxin has long wanted to develop in this area, and she has paid attention to it many times, but she found a business opportunity.

Evergreen cabbage is an opportunity.

Evergreen cabbage is a new variety of plant that has recently been sold to growers by Xenomorph Seeds.

The most important role of annual evergreen cabbage is not to eat, but to be used as a waterproof fabric in the production of waterproof clothing and waterproof bags.

Yu Yuxin purchased the leaves of this evergreen cabbage and processed them into beautiful raincoats, which were exported to Europe and the United States, which were very popular.

This kind of vegetable leaf raincoat can usually be made into a fashionable hooded jacket, which is completely unmarketable and in short supply.

At present, secret plants can only be planted in China, and the functions of some secret plants are irreplaceable and sell very well in foreign markets.

Evergreen cabbage is one of the varieties that Xenoko Seeds has promoted to professional growers during this time.

It is a good variety of plant that Lin Zeng refined after reading a lot of information about the inheritance of urban breeders, which can provide people with clothing fabrics. The reason why it can be popularized to a large extent is that its seeds are very small, and Lin Zeng can refine tens of thousands of seeds of evergreen cabbage in each furnace.

Evergreen cabbage has a short planting cycle, stable fabric quality, comfortable and durable, and also has the effect of waterproof leaves of its native plant cabbage, which is suitable for the transformation of professional growers who gradually lose the edible plant market under the impact of urban planting.

The profit cost of this kind of clothing fabric plant is hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary vegetables and fruits.

You Lixiang simply estimated that the cabbage on her two acres of land is calculated based on the minimum output of fifteen cabbage leaves per evergreen cabbage plant, with a minimum of ten yuan per piece, and the income of one acre of land will reach nearly 100,000 yuan.
