Chapter 13: Tips
In the following period, Su Yuanyang was busy with the transplantation of oysters into the deep-water grow-out area.
This is half a month.
After finishing his work, Su Yuanyang looked at the empty shallow water area and wondered if he should raise another stubble. He has an idea: now this time to plant, next year in October can be harvested, on the one hand, you can rush to an early trip (aquatic companies to promote technology should also be a matter of one or two months, even if other farmers do not hesitate to start this project immediately, from site selection to cleaning, purchase seedlings to planting, at least a month, so that the oysters of Sujia farm can be marketed at least two to three months earlier than other farms), to avoid and possible other farms of the market period push, can be sold at a good price; On the other hand, even if his oysters are postponed, they will grow a lot older than the others, and there will be room for negotiation in terms of price.
Back at home in the town that night, Su Yuanyang discussed the matter with Su Yan and Li Wanzhen, and called Cheng Hui the next morning.
The aquatic company has planned to open the purchase of oyster seedlings to all farmers this year, so the cultivation of oyster seedlings has long been carried out, and now although most of the oyster seedlings are not ideal, there are a small number of good ones, Su Yuanyang now wants 40,000 seedlings He can still get it. It's just that this year, the aquatic product company does not operate its own oyster farm, and the price of oyster seedlings has risen a lot compared with before: if you only buy seedlings and do not sign a purchase agreement with the aquatic product company, you will receive 5 yuan per plant; If the purchase agreement is signed with the aquatic product company after the purchase of seedlings, it will be 3 yuan per plant. However, Su Yuanyang has always cooperated well with the aquatic company, and there was a preferential agreement before, so the price for Su Yuanyang was the lowest - 2 yuan per plant.
In fact, Cheng Hui had revealed some of the relevant information before, so Su Yuanyang had already been mentally prepared for this, this price was completely within the range that he could accept, and Cheng Hui promised to send a ship to send oyster seedlings to Su's farm in a week.
Su Xingqun and Chen Wenyu have to maintain the oysters that have been moved to the deep-water grow-out area, so the shallow water seedling area is a little overwhelmed.
Su Yuanyang chose two honest ones among the short-term jobs he asked for before, and the conditions given were the same as those of Su Xingqun at the beginning, and the two of them readily agreed.
It was already the end of October after the oyster seedlings were planted, and this day was the day when Su Xingqun and them were paid, Su Yuanyang thought that he hadn't returned to his home in the village for a while, so he took Su Yan back to see the house.
Su Yuanyang finally decided to wait for the harvest of the oyster farm early next year to tear down the houses in the village and rebuild, and now he has some money, the more he looks at the mud straw-roofed house, the more unpleasant it is, and he has to be afraid to watch fireworks during the Lantern Festival!
Su Yan saw that the people in the village basically had no side jobs as before, except for two crops of rice in a year, and some crops that were not suitable for growing rice were planted for their own consumption, basically sweet potatoes and peanuts were planted in rotation, and after these crops were harvested, the land was empty for a few months. Very few people with fishing boats will go to sea, and most of them are really idle in their spare time, so the trend of playing mahjong has swept the countryside in their area.
Su Yan still has a lot of affection for her hometown, and now that her family is rich, she also hopes that the living standards of her neighbors can also improve, which is also what Su's father thinks. Oyster farming is also a solution, but you can't just run a village to open a farm, right? Su Yan secretly pondered that she still had to use her mind on the ground in the village.
The Su family has moved a lot since the beginning of this year, from the farm to the snack bar in the town, and then moved to the town, and now the farm has made a big move, attracting a lot of attention......
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived home, Su Yan was asking Su Yuanyang some questions about agriculture, and the village chief came to the door.
"I've finally caught you!" The village chief smiled.
Su Yuanyang exchanged a few words with him, and then asked, "Brother Tiangui is so anxious to find me something?" ”
The village head, Su Tiangui, straightened his face: "Yuan Yang, these days, many people have inquired about your oyster farm. I heard from the people who went to work that those oysters grew very well, but I don't know how this thing is sold, and can it be sold at a high price? ”
Su Yuanyang didn't hide it from him: "Oysters are just emerging breeds, the market is okay, hard work is hard, I raised five acres last year, and you also saw Wanzhen's appearance...... But I can still make a few bucks, no, some of the small profits last year have been invested, and I hope to have a good harvest this year! "It's not that Su Yuanyang deliberately wants to hide it, but that there is a confidentiality clause in the contract he signed with the aquatic company at that time, and the unit price of the purchase cannot be disclosed to the outside world, and once the oyster farming technology is promoted this year, there will be a large number of oysters on the market when they can harvest next year, and the price may be lowered, and he doesn't want the village chief and the villagers to expect too much.
The village chief nodded again and again: "It doesn't matter if it's hard, how can we farm without hard work, and I don't feel bitter when I know that there is hope...... Yuan Yang, you know your brother and me, since I became the head of this village, I have been thinking about how to make the lives of the villagers in our village better, and now that I see that this is also a way, I wonder if I can let the villagers follow suit...... Even if it is not developed, it can be regarded as a blessing if it can improve the current situation. ”
"I understand that if the villagers want to do farming, I can help contact the aquatic company to provide oyster seedlings." Su Yuanyang thought about it, and said bluntly: "The cost of cultivating oysters is not low now, and besides, the shallow water area is so big, and everyone can't share much area if they go to farming...... And there must be a lot of people in other villages, if you sign a purchase contract with the aquatic company in advance, the oyster seedlings will be cheaper, but the price will have to be set by them at that time; If you don't sign a contract with the fishery company, the cost will be much more expensive, and you will have to find a way to solve the sales problem by yourself...... These questions should be considered in advance. ”
The village chief was fascinated by this, Su Yuanyang paused, and said: "Recently, I have also been thinking, the vacancy rate of land in our village is quite high, do you also want to think of a way in terms of land?" ”
This is still Su Yan's inspiration to Su Yuanyang.
Some time ago, Su Yan asked why the round pepper and corn she ate in the hotel last time couldn't be bought in the vegetable market, as well as the sweet and sour lotus root and silk yam she liked. After eating it once, Li Wanzhen said that she would also make it, but when she went to the vegetable market, she couldn't find the lotus root...... He told her that these vegetables were not grown by the locals, and they were specially transported from other places by the hotel, and the cost of freight, preservation and other expenses was added together, so it was quite expensive, and the price was acceptable to few people on the vegetable field.
Su Yan asked, then why don't we plant in our fields?
In order to answer her question, Su Yuanyang couldn't find the relevant books in the bookstore, and he went to the city library to borrow materials to read. He thought it was because of the climate or the land, but who knew that their land and climate were perfectly suitable for growing these crops.
It seems that the concept of their Haicheng people relying on the sea to eat the sea is too deep-rooted, or they choose to go out to work, and too few people are interested in the land! In the case of Sujia Village, the significance of land to the villagers is only to provide the conditions for growing two crops of rice rations, and other than that, the villagers prefer to spend their time on Pai Gow or Mahjong tables every day.
Su Yuanyang's mind began to move: Yes! For a long time, their vegetable varieties were only choy sum, Chinese cabbage, beans and bitter gourd, or all kinds of loofahs and gourds that grew from the seeds scattered in their yards. Some people can occasionally dig up wild yams and sell them, but the taste is fundamentally different from the one you eat in the hotel.
Only one acre of peanuts were planted before the three acres of sandy land that their family was allocated, and the other two acres were barren with long grass, which could actually be used to grow yams!
And there are still many fields in the village that are not suitable for growing rice!
Of course, Su Yuanyang didn't say it so clearly, after all, he only had a preliminary idea, and he had to make a careful plan.
The village chief didn't pay much attention to Su Yuanyang's statement, and he was now focusing on the oyster farm. It's just that this is also a way, and it will be brought up for discussion at the village meeting at the end of the year.
