Chapter 30: Buying Saplings
Back in the village, by settling accounts and sharing money for everyone, the fat man spread another news: "Tomorrow when I go out to buy fruit tree saplings, who will report how many of them." ”
Bigfoot was the most active: "I'm going to ask for a hundred, but what is the price?"
"I'm not sure now, the big guy will go home and lie on the kang to discuss, and I'll plant a thousand trees myself anyway. "The fat man looked for someone to see it, and it was no problem for him to plant a thousand fruit trees on the piece of land he had cleared.
Planting trees in the Northeast is possible in spring and autumn, and autumn seems to be even better. Fill with enough water, freeze in winter, and sprout and take root in the spring of the next year, and the survival rate is still high.
The fat man has his own plans: he wants to become the part that gets rich first, and at the same time, he also wants to lead the villagers. Things such as planting and breeding must form a scale and establish a base, so as to be more conducive to management and production and marketing.
After sending out the money, the fat man came home and took out the vat he bought from the box, a total of five mouthfuls, one bite of pickled cabbage, and the rest was ready to make wine.
Rinse the grapes twice with water, put them in the vat, add sugar, make an introduction to some liquor, and then cover the mouth of the jar with kraft paper, seal it tightly with yellow mud around it, and put it in the warehouse, and it is basically done.
Three jars of wild grapes, a gang of mixed fruits, and the big braid was busy with the work, while chanting: "Have we picked so much, don't you see where you put it?"
The fat man giggled vigorously and didn't make a sound.
The next day, there were not many people who signed up for fruit trees, in the words of Captain Li, farmers were content with "two acres of land, a cow, and a hot kang head for their wives and children".
However, the number is very considerable, and the sister-in-law of Bigfoot has booked 200 trees, but the price is within five cents, and the other ones are also more than 100 trees.
When the sister-in-law handed over the ten pieces of unity to the fat man, her hands were obviously a little trembling: "Brother, this is your brother's hard-earned money for me and your brother for a year, you must be in good hands!"
The fat man really admires these people, and dares to take out a hundred and ten yuan to coax him, which is really daring, in fact, even the fat man has no bottom in his heart, after all, he doesn't know how to cultivate and care for fruit trees, and he has to learn and sell now.
But the fat man can at least guarantee that this general direction will not be wrong: "Bigfoot sister-in-law, if it doesn't work, you will kick me with your feet when the time comes." ”
Of course, the most important thing is that some people are worried about the long cycle of planting fruit trees, and they are afraid that one day the policy will change, and the land will be taken back to the production team, and they will be busy in vain.
The fat man laughed at this: Anyway, he has been since 30 years, the country's land policy has not changed, and the places that have changed are becoming more and more powerful to the peasants.
It's a pity that these can't be said in the open, so the fat man decided to prove it with practical actions, and secretly made up his mind in his heart: the matter of planting fruit trees must be successful, and it will be a good start.
Because several families were involved, it was not good for the fat man to go alone, so he invited Captain Li to accompany him.
Thinking that the earth had been cleaned up, the captain readily agreed, of course, there was another reason, the last time I went out with the fat man, I tasted the sweetness. So the big whip of the car owner sounded, and the carriage carried three people out of the backer.
In addition, there is another big event, the fat man begged Captain Li to issue a certificate, and then reapply for his and Qiqi's accounts. Always be a black household, the fat man's heart has not landed, and it is not convenient to do anything in the future, it is said that it is not possible to get a marriage certificate without a household registration book.
Captain Li patted his chest loudly: What a big deal, but the fat man has thought about it, if you leave your hukou in the backer, even if you have a rural hukou, you won't be able to eat and supply food.
How can the fat man still care about this, in another ten or eight years, as soon as the grain market is opened, how can there be any talk of supplying grain?
Things are indeed as Captain Li said, when I arrived at the commune, I solved the problem of household registration without any cost. The fat man finally understood that at this time, the household registration management was still very loose, especially in the ravines and ravines like the backing mountains, and the children generally reported their household registration when they got married.
What made the fat man a little depressed was that he heard that there was an eight-year-old "Huang Qiqi", and the person in charge of the commune who was in charge of poking him asked: "What about the second marriage?"
The fat man is awkward in his heart: Wronged or not, my stubble hasn't opened yet.
That night, he stayed in the county seat, and the captain went back to the restaurant as he wished, and the fat man also brought more than a dozen catties of pine nuts to the pigtail's house.
The big pigtail's mother didn't mention the money this time, but chatted with the fat man for a long time, which made the fat man frightened, walking on thin ice, and dealing with it carefully, so he almost didn't take out the household registration book.
But it's also understandable, people's yellow flower girl lives in your house, can you not worry about being a mother?
Stayed in the county seat for a night, and continued to Tianjiapu the next day, which is also 100 miles away from the county seat, but it is all plains, and the transportation is convenient.
When I went to the place, Captain Li couldn't help but sigh, the standard of living here is obviously higher than that of Daqingshan, and there is no comparison with the backing mountain, you can see it at a glance, there are very few grass houses.
Looking at the four wheels running suddenly on the ground, the car owner looked at his big carriage, and his face was also dedicated.
As soon as they inquired about Tian Miaowang, someone soon gave them guidance: they walked all the way to the west of the town and saw an orchard in the distance.
Driving the cart to look for it, I soon found a large orchard of fruit trees, although the leaves have fallen now, and there are no fruits on the trees, but the pestles of fruit trees are there, which makes people feel a momentum.
There were two brick houses on the edge of the orchard, and the ground in front of the houses was full of rows of saplings, and the two big green dogs were stinging when they saw the living people.
A person walked out of the room, and when he saw the fat man, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped the two dogs and greeted them with a smile: "Brother Huang Liang, I didn't expect you to really come." ”
The fat man smiled innocently: "Of course, Brother Miao Wang's orchard is fragrant, which attracts people's attention." This is Captain Li of our backer, this is Tian Miaowang I told you. ”
Everyone said a few words, and then they were let into the house, Tian Miaowang's wife brought a plate of big white pears with water and spirit, and several people sat on the kang and chatted while eating.
Soon turned to the topic, I heard that the fat man wanted more than 2,000 saplings, Tian Miaowang patted his chest and said: "No problem, I am mainly peach trees and pear trees, peach trees can hang fruit in the coming year, pear trees will be the year after, you plant fruit trees in the mountains is just right, the cost is small, do not waste land resources, unlike us, they are all good land, I always feel that it is a pity to plant fruit trees." ”
"It's no wonder that the scale of your family is still not enough, but when we develop and we join forces, the sales channel will expand. Brother, now there are not many saplings in our village, wait for two years, I estimate that it will be high, you have fruit saplings here, you might as well cultivate more, we will become a one-stop production and marketing. ”
"One-stop production and marketing, this word is the most appropriate, Brother Huang, Captain Li, don't worry, I will be responsible for sending people to give you technical support when the time comes. Tian Miaowang also realized that this was likely to be a long-term business, and he also had a calculation in his heart, and decided to send someone to inspect it by the way in the spring of next year.
In the end, the price of the saplings was set at five cents in the triangle, which was cheaper than the fat man expected, mainly because Tian Miaowang was preparing for long-term cooperation, and the normal price was about five corners.
A few people went to the nursery again, although the fat man didn't know much about it, but the car boss and Captain Li had more or less fiddled with the fruit trees, and they all nodded vigorously.
In particular, the car boss finally took out a wad of money and bought 300 peach trees and 200 pear trees, and his attitude was very resolute.
The fat man couldn't help but laugh and said, "It turns out that you have long been behind, and this time you came for a free inspection." ”
The owner of the car smiled: "I have to change this carriage, get a four-wheeled one, no need to feed grass, no filler, give some oil and run, and run fast." ”
The fat man's heart moved: Yes, as long as there are dreams in his heart, there will be a rush in the future.
Captain Li was also tempted in the end, and asked the fat man to put the money on the first place, and he gritted his teeth and bought 200 peach trees.
But in the end, Tian Miaowang's words made them a little depressed: "It's still early to dig the saplings now, it's too hot, and the saplings are afraid to dry up and die after two days on the road. ”
The fat man didn't want to toss back and forth, he patted the canvas bag he was carrying on his waist, which contained an inseparable wooden box: it seemed that he had to borrow this treasure.
(Finally called, update back to normal, one chapter in the morning, evening - hehe, depending on the situation.) It's in the stage of running naked now, but there's no pressure, hehe, as the old saying goes: you can't run for a ride)
