The rooster crows, and a new day in Qinglinzhuang begins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, there was a hissing and popping sound from the big radio in the village, it was Qin Li who was trying to hear it, and the sound had been turned on to the maximum.
"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, I am the village chief Qin Li, and I am Qin Li."
"I'm here to announce something, and you must hear me clearly."
"Our apples are marketable, higher than the market price, a dollar a catty."
"Everyone, go to the field and register the status of your apples, and in a few days, someone will come down to buy them."
"The acquisition time is very short, so everyone must be fast."
"Everyone tells each other that they don't wait for the expiration date."
The broadcast was then replayed twice in a row.
Qin Li's voice broke the tranquility of the village at once, and it was like thunder, smashing heavily into the village.
The old and young ladies of all families, some of them were even fetching water, brushing their teeth and washing their faces, and they were all standing in the courtyard at this time, a little unresponsive.
At first, the men of each family muttered and scolded Qin Li's immediate family members, thinking that Qin Li's broadcast early in the morning disturbed their dreams, but they were soon splashed with clear water, and they were all thrilled and frightened, and finally became as excited as chicken blood.
"Damn, there's a market for apples."
The old ladies don't brush their teeth and wash their faces, but quickly go back and drag the men and women in the family up and let them inquire about the news.
"Daddy, there's a market for apples!"
Even some women went out in their pajamas, with their long hair spread out in one hand, to inquire about the news.
Qin Li turned off the radio of the village committee, and when he saw that the boiling water on one side was also boiled, he poured two pots and went out to fetch water.
At this time, some gentlemen from the village came over, and when they saw Qin Li, they handed over cigarettes and made it hot.
The Zhuang Li's eyes were very sharp, and when they saw that Qin Li was the only one in the entire village committee, they became even more familiar, and turned around and asked whether the content of the broadcast just now was true or false.
Qin Li naturally understood, let them stop grinding, and quickly go to the village committee to register the apples in the field.
Apples also have grades, and the price of each grade is different.
The popular convention in the market is that the fruit shape, freshness, color, cortex, pests and diseases, mechanical injuries and other aspects meet the conditions and standards, and then the size of the head is used to judge the merits.
Apples are usually between 65 mm and 90 mm in diameter, and a grade is assigned for every 5 mm of difference.
The market price of apples below 65 mm is very low, and sometimes no one asks for it when it is given to fruit merchants.
The 90 mm apples are favored by fruit merchants, and the purchase price is also high.
If the price of a low-grade apple is 5 cents, then the price of a 90-millimeter apple is above 1 piece, or even more expensive.
If a fruit farmer wants to make money, he can only hope that the apples he produces are as big as possible, or more than 70% of them must be high-quality fruits.
Qin Li has also learned some about the market from yesterday's conversation with Liang Jianguo and others, and the prices of those that have been purchased recently are around six cents and seven cents, and some people even offer a price of five cents. Qin Li is a person from the village, he knows that it is not easy for farmers to make money, so he raised the price and set a price first.
For apples on the market, the retail price of some high-quality fruits is several or even ten yuan, which shows the profits.
Qin Li didn't want to harm the interests of the villagers, but he didn't have a good grasp of the quality of the villagers' apples, so he was conservative.
He was worried that some people would not believe it, so he turned out the pen and ink from the village committee and was about to write.
At this time, when he saw Xiao Zhen coming in, he beckoned her over and asked, "How is your calligraphy?" ”
Xiao Zhen said that it was okay, but she looked at Qin Li curiously, what else did the village chief who had just returned from serving as a soldier want to toss.
Qin Li asked her to write a batch of notices, saying that the guaranteed price for the purchase of apples was one dollar, and then instructed her to post everything that could be posted at the head of the village, at the end of the village, at the end of the alley.
He looked at Xiao Zhen's handwriting, a little handsome, he was relieved, picked up the small bag and car keys, and wanted to leave.
Xiao Zhen asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Qin Li said: "I'll go around the field. ”
Xiao Zhen asked again: "After a while, the villagers asked me when I would buy it, what company would buy it, and how would I answer?" ”
Qin Li said: "You just tell them that every catty of a piece, they only need to pick the apples for me, wait for the money, and don't need them to worry about other things." You are the same, listen to me, and speak with me. ”
Xiao Zhen muttered softly in her heart, are you the village chief, you alone have the final say on everything, you alone know, don't fool people. She felt that it was best to ask directly, so she said, "Village Chief Qin, have you really found a market?" When the villagers pick apples, can they really see the money? ”
Qin Li said without thinking: "Of course! ”
Xiao Zhen asked again: "But if the villagers ask me what company it is, what will I say?" ”
Qin Li said: "You tell them that whoever believes in me and follows me will make a lot of money." ”
He had already gone out, took a few steps, got into the car and started to leave.
Xiao Zhen paused her pen, and when she saw Qin Li leaving, she was a little lost, and wondered, hey, what are you doing in a hurry, I didn't tell you about it.
When Qin Li returned to the old house, Li Xiangqin also made breakfast, she wiped her hand on her apron, and went to stop Qin Li and asked him to come over for breakfast quickly.
Qin Li looked at Li Xiangqin's eye bags were a little big, and the eye circles were also a little dark, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, his eldest brother came back last night, he should keep his eldest brother, so that his sister-in-law would feel at ease. But it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and he has just come back, which is even more difficult to deal with, so in order to avoid bias, he feels that it is more appropriate to understand and understand before dealing with it.
He said, "I don't see you slept well, so don't go to the ground." When I came back yesterday, I went around the fields, and I roughly got a count. ”
Li Xiangqin really didn't sleep well last night, not to mention the bed, and after Miao Cuihua fell asleep, she hugged her and rubbed around, making her speechless and helpless, if she was a man at the time, she would have pressed it up and done it for Miao Cuihua.
Of course, the most important thing is that she was actually worried about Qin Li all night, and she was also thinking about this little uncle who suddenly returned......
She hurriedly said, "I'm not sleepy, I'm in good health." I'll go down with you in a moment. ”
Qin Li said: "I may have to go to the town or the city. I think Miao Cuihua is also alone, and when it's time to harvest apples, we can partner with her. ”
Li Xiangqin didn't think much about it, and when she took the steamed buns for Qin Li, she casually agreed.
But there was a bang outside the door, and then there was the sound of slippers striding vigorously, and when Qin Li and the two were puzzled, the screen window of the hall door was also lifted, and a thin middle-aged man wearing big pants, a big gown, and black slippers appeared.
This person swept through the two of Qin Li and Li Xiangqin who were finishing eating in the room, and there was meat and soup on the table, and there were shiny white-flour steamed buns, and he immediately sneered.
"Okay, you Qin Xiong, you green king, don't pay back the money you win, take it home and let your wife raise a wild man!"
"Ouch, Li Xiangqin, look at you raising a wild man, it's a good day!"
