Chapter 66: A Little Whirlwind of Vegetables
Although Li Chen and Secretary Liwen both tacitly chose not to say anything, both of them knew that Tizhi Village was too far behind compared to the outside world.
And if you want to revitalize the village, you have to use your brains and think of some solutions.
Of course, after all, Secretary Liwen is the locomotive of the village, and the reason why Li Chen said so much is to express a meaning, that is, if he is within his ability, he is willing to help the secretary find a way to change the poor and backward appearance of the village.
After all, one person is not good, but the whole village can be considered successful.
Of course, Li Chen is by no means tall, in fact, he has selfishness in it.
This selfishness is that if everything is good for its own development, and the rest of the village is still very backward, then it will be very embarrassing for oneself, and secondly, it will not be able to explain to the whole village.
And taking the initiative to help at this time can not only avoid being embarrassed, but also prevent the secretary and the whole village from misunderstanding him.
It can be described as well-intentioned.
Of course, Li Chen really wants to do something for his hometown from the bottom of his heart, but the premise is not beyond his actual ability. Moreover, Li Chen didn't know what method to use, and he didn't bother to think about it, so this matter naturally fell on the old secretary's head.
After finishing the New Year's greetings, Li Chen's attention was naturally focused on vegetable planting.
According to the plan, he is going to have a little vegetable whirlwind before the New Year is completely over!
Of course, those strawberries can't be left idle, and I believe that the launch of the fourth strawberry will definitely draw a complete end to this happy festival.
For this, he deliberately watered all the vegetables and strawberry seedlings with space pool water, and then nourished and nourished them with the book for part of the time.
Sure enough, not only the strawberries quickly bear fruit, but this vegetable is also long, not only the conventional vegetables are growing vigorously, but also the golden silk beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and four-sided beans, which are four high-end vegetables, are also growing well. It is expected that the harvest will start in a week at most.
During this time, Li Chen was almost always managing the vegetable greenhouse alone, and he didn't even let his sister and mother in.
Seeing Li Chen so mysterious, the mother was slightly dissatisfied, but they were also full of appetite. I really want to see what this batch of vegetables that Li Chen has worked so hard to raise will look like?
However, Li Song's class was about to start, and his mother had to go back to the county rental house with him.
My sister was arranged by Li Chen to help him contact cartons, packaging, and those vegetable wholesalers to see the goods on site. The date of the inspection was tentatively set for five days, and then Li Chen decided to try sell it in small batches first.
With a half-shed and a self-made greenhouse, the supply of nearly two whole sheds of vegetables, I believe that it is not a problem to set off a small whirlwind in the short term.
Of course, with the successful experience of strawberries last time, Li Chen is well aware of the importance of the reputation of the surrounding people, no, he found Li Liwen to help again, and specially found some people, let each of them ride a tricycle, pull the vegetables from Li Chen's mountain farm, and sell them in nearby villages. The price of the dishes is not too high, but the daily remuneration of each person is not linked to the amount of vegetables sold, but a fixed salary, all of which are sold out and promoted hard, Li Chen also gave a special reward for adding money.
It worked so well that all of them had enough strength to run around.
I didn't think anything at first, but later found out that Li Chen's vegetables were actually very easy to sell, and many people bought and ate them on the first day, and then they looked for him the next day, and even if he didn't come, they asked around to find them.
After all, there are not many vegetables to eat in the countryside in winter, and no one will reject them if they catch up with so many tricks and are so delicious. As a result, more than ten days later, the vegetables in Li Chenshan's field spread like strawberries again.
At the same time, the fourth strawberry crop is just about to ripen.
Seeing this, Li Chen knew that the time was almost up.
On this day, a group of fruit wholesalers and a group of vegetable wholesalers were hired by Li Chen to take them to the mountain farm at the same time.
The reason why he took the initiative to pick up people this time is also because the positioning of vegetables and fruits is different, the profit of home-cooked vegetables is not high, and the vegetable merchants' requirements for quantity sometimes greatly exceed the demand for quality, so Li Chen has to take some special ways to win people's preliminary understanding of himself.
The busyness of the new year in Li Chenshan Field can be regarded as officially kicking off with the arrival of this batch of orderers.
There are many old acquaintances of fruit merchants, take a look and taste, but go through the motions. After a few years of cooperation, they are very confident in the quality of the strawberries planted by Li Chen. Especially for Li Chen's personality, he is even more assured.
Vegetable wholesalers, on the other hand, feel similar to those of these fruit merchants when they first came, except that they didn't think much of Li Chen at first impression, after all, the scale was limited.
But when they actually saw the actual goods, they felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Look at the racks of cucumbers, all of them are very thick, but the taste in the mouth is very tender, the taste is really extraordinary.
Beans are the same, obviously they are ordinary green beans, but they all grow a lot longer than cowpeas, but they are also extremely tender and not old at all.
The tomatoes are small lantern-like, red and red, with moderate acidity.
The eggplant is a football game, but after cutting, the skin is thin, the meat is delicate, and the seeds are few, which is really a rare top grade.
Then they saw the four high-end vegetables, and they were quite surprised by the growth of these vegetables.
Li Chen smiled and introduced to everyone that this is only his initial planting, once successful, he plans to continue to expand the scale of planting on this basis in the future, hoping to carry out closer cooperation with everyone at that time.
A banquet was set up in Qi Xiangju, and Qi Xiangju benefited from the development of Li Chenshan Farm, and the scale was also much larger, and the private rooms were expanded to three, and a connecting private room was added.
Coming here to entertain, naturally, it is not all for eating, but more to test the taste of vegetables in Li Chen's greenhouse.
These vegetable merchants are naturally all proficient, and each of them took matters into their own hands, picked vegetable samples from different parts, and asked Qi Xiangju to make dozens of dishes according to different methods, and they tasted them with those fruit merchants.
As a result, they were completely shaken.
The kind of dish that Li Chen grows is simply delicious.
No matter what this chef does, this strong aroma of vegetables can't be faked, and these vegetable merchants are not vegetarians, so they can naturally taste the quality of the dishes that are absolutely first-class.
So, the previous contempt is gone. They took the initiative to talk about cooperation intentions with Li Chen.
Those fruit merchants who were already good friends with Li Chen were not idle, and they were doing a lot to add fuel to the fire. Soon, the two sides got to the point where they were talking about the price.
Price is the basis of cooperation, after all, in business, who doesn't make money?
Li Chen naturally knew everyone's thoughts, so the price was set quite kindly, and even a little lost.
His move also won unanimous praise from the public.
Of course, Li Chen also emphasized one thing with everyone, that is, his vegetables will be the same as fruits, and he will take the high-end route of high-quality products in the future, so that everyone can be psychologically prepared.
The quality of vegetables he can fully guarantee, which he is very confident in, and once the high-quality vegetable plan, the implementation of the beyond, the corresponding price will also increase, then whether you can cooperate, or whether you are willing to cooperate, the decision is up to everyone, we can also use the sales of this first batch of vegetables as a reference.
Seeing that Li Chen said it so thoroughly, everyone nodded frequently, and the fruit merchant gave them his own practical examples, which immediately made everyone completely understand Li Chen's intentions and determination.
Everyone present can be regarded as having tasted Li Chen's strawberries, and they also know that his strawberries have already entered the big supermarket, and now they are high-end gifts, and they are selling well!
With a living example in front of them, everyone's confidence in their vegetables can't help but increase a little.
This is what Li Chen wants.
Many things, the plan is in people, and the success is in heaven!
His Li Chen's vegetable whirlwind is about to blow.
