Chapter 17 Bonuses
Autumn is harvest season, and as we enter September, several crops on the farm begin to ripen.
The first is sweet potatoes. From the end of September, the sweet potatoes can be dug up. The sweet potatoes of these ten acres of land were planted by Su Yuanyang to provide to the vegetable and fruit company of Lao Ye's relatives. Before the excavation, I made an appointment with Lao Ye's relatives to send a car to the door. But they don't collect them in batches, but want to collect them all in batches, so Su Yuanyang has to arrange for someone to dig out all the sweet potatoes the day before, so that they can be loaded early the next morning.
Su Yuanyang's three brothers, Chen Rihong and Chen Yumei, plus Su Lin, the person in charge of their five crop fields, and then Su Yuanyang invited twenty more people, and they were busy for a whole day, and finally dug up the sweet potatoes in the field and finished packing. The next day, it was weighed and loaded, a full 90,000 catties!
Sweet potatoes are also a high-yield crop, but the price is not high, and Su Yuanyang only charged Lao Ye's relatives five cents a catty. However, he also made a small profit of 30,000 yuan.
In a few months, this land can be planted with a season of peanuts, but it will not be wasted.
After harvesting the sweet potatoes, Su Yuanyang handed over the selection of peanut seeds to the second and third couples, and took Li Wanzhen to start following up on the new oyster seedlings.
Su Yan has always felt that it is too wasteful for Su's mother to be trapped in Su Kee, and it is also hard, since she went to school, she began to think of ideas to find someone to take over her mother's work in Su Kee.
As mentioned earlier, Li Wanzhen's craftsmanship is exclusive, so you have to find someone you can trust. Su Yan even thought about finding one of her aunts, but now that they had just started to change a little and devote themselves to farm work, Su Yan felt that it was not yet time for them to meddle in her family's business so quickly.
In the end, Chen Xue took the baton, her stationery store was originally used to pass the time, and she had planned to take it away if she didn't make any money, but she didn't know what to do after collecting it, so she kept hesitating, she didn't want to go back to her village home to do farm work and see her mother-in-law's face. On this day, when I heard the discussion of Li Wanzhen's mother and daughter, I recommended myself.
Su Ji asked someone to take over Li Wanzhen's kitchen work Su Yan had already discussed with Su Yuanyang, and he had already transferred his daughter-in-law to his own work in overall management, on the one hand, now that the conditions are good, I don't want her to be so tired anymore, on the other hand, he is really busy sometimes. Chen Xue also thought it was okay, and gave her a salary of 1,005, and Chen Xue herself was more satisfied. After Li Wanzhen taught her for a week, Chen Xue began to officially take up her post......
Li Wanzhen had followed Su Yuanyang to the aquatic company several times before, and had contact with Cheng Hui, and the quantity and unit price had already been set, so she only needed to agree on the time to send it and ask for the planting staff in advance. Li Wanzhen is familiar with driving a car.
Su Yuanyang was relieved to do other things.
Originally, the head of the village had negotiated the purchase of yam with the original agricultural product company, but Lao Ye had news that the medicinal material company where he had a friend wanted to buy a batch of yams, but it had to be in good condition, and when the time came, it would be made into a light yam for export, and the price would definitely be higher than that of ordinary agricultural product companies. Now that the yams have reached the time to be harvested, Su Yuanyang went to pick a few random trees and dig them out, beckoned the village chief to dig some too, sealed them in boxes, and took them to the provincial capital by car for him to show Lao Ye's friends the real thing.
The sandy and muddy land of the Su family farm is indeed very suitable for the growth of yams, and the yam sticks dug up by Su Yuanyang at random are all long, straight and strong, and the other party is very satisfied with it, and the price is 3 yuan per catty. But the condition of the village chief's house was a little worse, and they didn't accept it.
After agreeing with Lao Ye's friend to send a car to receive the goods ten days later, Su Yuanyang invited him to have a meal with Lao Ye, and rushed back to Haicheng non-stop, and began to arrange people to prepare to dig yams.
Digging yam is not only a physical activity, but also a technical activity. First of all, we must clean up the half-dead branches on the ground, then remove the floating soil in the upper layer to expose the yam roots, and then estimate the size of the yam, and remove the surrounding soil, so that a yam can be dug completely.
When digging, a group of two people cooperated, one person dug out the yam, and one person went to the soil to pack the box.
Fortunately, after the yam was dug up, it was no problem to leave it like that for a few days without other means, so it took 20 people five days to dig up all the yams.
The village chief negotiated with the agricultural products company before the unit price of the yam was 2 yuan a catty, Su Yuanyang and the village chief discussed it, let the village chief's family and some villagers grow their own yams at the same time, dig up the yams, pick out a small part of the same color as Su Jiayang, and send them to Su Jia Nongyang's land the day before the medicinal material company came to receive the goods, and deliver them together. The rest of the ones that are not in good condition are handed over to the agricultural companies.
The day the yam was handed over happened to be a Saturday, and Li Wanzhen came back with Su Yan and Su Kai after school on Friday afternoon. Li Wanzhen has just finished planting oyster seedlings, and the oyster harvest for this season has also been negotiated, and the harvest will start tomorrow. This year's price is really lower than last year, and the Su family's farm has made a first trip, and the price has also dropped to 1.5 yuan per catty.
The next morning, Li Wanzhen needed to follow the boat for the oyster harvest and settlement, so Su Yan took Su Kai to the yam field to join in the fun. The people from the medicinal material company were very happy, the cash paid immediately after the things were weighed and reloaded into the car, the weight of the yams sent by the village chief and other villagers was weighed the night before, and the number was in Su Yan's hands, after sending away the people from the medicinal materials company, Su Yuanyang beckoned the village chief to go to Su's house for tea after dinner in the afternoon, and paid them the payment by the way.
Li Wanzhen came back at noon, rested for a while and began to prepare dinner. Su Yan began to divide the corresponding payment according to the weight of the yam in each name registered before, and put it in an envelope and wrote the corresponding name. In this way, Su Yuanyang only needs to collect the receipt and simply check the weight in the evening.
After distributing all the payments, Su Yan began to count this year's harvest in the yam field. The settlement weight of the pharmaceutical company is more than 66,000 catties, minus the weight of other families, the Su family's harvest is about 60,000 catties, and the payment is more than 180,000 catties. After subtracting the cost of various inputs, the gross profit of yam field is as much as 150,000 yuan, the bonus to Su Wu is also 10,000 yuan, and the remaining net profit is more than 141,000 yuan. This is by far the most profitable crop on the Su family's farm.
I also have to thank Lao Ye, if it weren't for the pharmaceutical company he introduced, according to the price given to the agricultural product company, the net profit would have to be reduced by 60,000! Su Yuanyang weighed the idea of sending ten catties of freshly dried oysters to Lao Ye and his friends in a few days.
Speaking of this dried oyster, it was also made by Su Yan. After negotiating with Cheng Hui about the purchase price of oysters this year, Su Yuanyang was a little worried that the unit price of oysters would be lower and lower in the future. Su Yan mentioned that when she was in the bookstore before, she had read a book that wrote about the method of making dried oysters, saying that it can clear away heat and remove fire, boil porridge and cook, and keep it for a long time. The method is also simple, that is, clean the oysters, dry them for a few hours to control the moisture, and then string them one by one with bamboo skewers, dry them naturally under the soft sun, and dry them for about ten days.
After making it, Su Yuanyang took some to stew shiitake mushrooms according to Su Yan's words, and it really tasted unique.
Oysters can be said to be a specialty of Haicheng, Lao Ye and his friend's company have rules that cannot accept gifts from customers, and there should be no problem in sending some specialties.
Soon after the yam is harvested, the lotus leaves in the lotus root pond also begin to yellow, but digging the lotus root is a big project, and it is also necessary to keep the production intact, but the lotus root is much more difficult to dig than the yam. Ten people dug for half a month, only to turn over the ten acres of land, fortunately, the yield of the lotus root land is also good, the yield per mu is almost 8,000 catties, the price of five per catty, this trip to earn more than 80,000 hard-earned money.
By December, all the harvest, including the second round pepper crop, was over. Moreover, the harvest of peanuts in the sweet potato field and green vegetables in the corn field will be next year, and the people of the Su family farm will finally start to be idle.
Su Yan had already sorted out the accounts of the farm, and the profits of the fifty acres totaled more than 400,000, leaving more than 100,000 yuan as the working capital and cost of the farm next year.
In addition to the 100,000 yuan share, although the price of the oyster farm is lower than last year, plus 100,000 catties of oysters are reserved for Su Ji and ready to dry oysters, only about 1.7 million catties of goods have been handed over this year, and the net profit after deducting various expenses is about 2.4 million. This year, the total assets of the Su family accumulated to almost 6 million.
In addition to the three brothers of the Su family, the income of other families in the village has also increased a lot compared with previous years, and there is still a month before the New Year, and the whole village has begun to be jubilant, and even the mahjong table that has been dusty for a long time has been moved out, and it is addictive.
On this day, people from the agricultural products company came to Sujia Village to talk to the village chief about next year's supply contract. The village chief asked people to come over and call Su Yuanyang together, and Su Yuanyang took Su Yan with him. On the way to the past, Su Yan reminded Su Dad that after the success of their village's model, there will definitely be other places vying to follow suit soon, like the oyster farm, the crops are not as good as oysters, oysters really can't be sold, they can be raised for more than a year, it's a matter of early and late harvest, but if the crops can't be sold, they can only rot in the ground. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary losses caused by vicious competition in the future, it is better to take a long-term view, do not take the opportunity to raise prices, but make appropriate profits, and exchange relatively favorable prices for long-term supply contracts. Grow long, do long! Su Yan moved out of Su's father's mantra.
When he arrived at the village chief's house, Su Yuanyang whispered the same rhetoric to persuade the village chief to exchange a five-year contract for the agricultural products company at a 10 percent discount over this year's price.
The issue of supply for the coming year has also been negotiated. After the village chief was free, he thought that the material civilization in the village should be improved, and the spiritual civilization should also be grasped. This year, the collective income of the village is also good, so after the village committee began to discuss, a scholarship program was set up: from primary school to high school, all students who won the first place or were rated as the top three students will be given a certain cash reward, and they will be admitted to the university with a stipend!
Su Yan is interested in the bonus. Originally, except for the first month of admission, after she came back from the first month's monthly test, her results in the subsequent exams were only maintained in the top three (because after the first monthly test, she found that the original first place was responsible for explaining the exam questions to the wrong classmates, and she was afraid of trouble), Su's father was still worried about whether her grades dropped because of taking care of accounting. At the end of this term, in order to appease Su's father, mainly for the scholarship, Su Yan took the first place in the exam very seriously and came back......
