"How did this fruit come to bear on the trunk of a tree? What is it called? ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "This is the coffee tree. By the end of February next year, the fruit will start to turn red, and it will be ready to be picked, and after rough processing, it will be the coffee beans we see. ”

Wuyang said: "I see that this tree is so small, why did it start to bear fruit?" ”

"This is a small tree that was planted last year, and it will begin to bear fruit this year, you see this dense fruit, the yield per mu next year should not be less than 200 kilograms, and it will be no problem to increase 100 kilograms every year in the future. When the trees have grown, the yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms. ”

Wuyang asked, "What is the selling price per kilogram?" ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Now the price of coffee beans is rising every year, this year it is 25 yuan per kilogram, and I don't know what the price will be next year." ”

"Isn't that more lucrative than growing tobacco and fruit?"

"The income is not necessarily high, but it is easier to manage than growing tobacco leaves, easier to sell than growing fruits, and it is not so easy to spoil, and the main thing is that it is not so good land, and there are not so high requirements for water and fertilizer."

"It's not difficult to grow and process, is it?"

"It's not difficult, my brother-in-law's 400 acres of mountainous land here are all dug out with excavators, plus saplings, fertilizer and artificial planting, and the cost is only about 3,000 yuan per mu."

"Then there are not many kinds of Wujiang family?"

Zeng Qingrong said: "I planted a lot. My father-in-law rented 8,000 acres of land in his hometown in the name of eight of his siblings, planted all the saplings last winter and this spring, and will bear fruit next year. ”

"Lao Zeng. Did you sue Liu Canhui about this project? ”

"Secretary. I don't want to say. ”

Wuyang smiled: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." I won't ask either. I guess you must have sued him, but he said that the focus of the city is on the development of tobacco leaves, fruits, flowers and medicinal herbs, and he doesn't want to mention this. Lao Zeng, can you pick a head, now raise more saplings, and we will slowly promote them throughout the city. ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Secretary, that's the truth. ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Zeng." Except for the fruits that do not necessarily occupy farmland, the other three crops that we have developed must be occupied, and this has led to the contradiction of competing for farmland with grain. I see that this coffee tree is planted on the hillside, and there are a lot of abandoned land in all counties in our city, which can be reclaimed to plant coffee trees, even some barren mountains, which can also be cultivated. Some of the other cities in our province have tourism resources, and some have the tradition of planting tea, but we have nothing. If we take the lead in planting coffee trees, we will do a good job. It will definitely become a pillar industry in our city. ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Mayor, your enthusiasm for the city's economic construction really makes me admire, but I can't help a person who is resting." ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Lao Zeng, your attitude is wrong. Although he went to the CPPCC, he was promoted to a deputy department-level cadre after all. You're not very old, but you're still a big deal. ”

"Secretary, whether your words are right or wrong, I can listen to them, and I will give you advice. Seedling cultivation can only be done by me to let my father-in-law's company do it, and I am afraid that the municipal party committee and the municipal government will have to do it. As long as the municipal party committee attaches importance to it, it will not be difficult to popularize it. As long as our villagers can see the benefits, they will spontaneously do it. There are no such demonstration households in our city, but other cities have already started to do it, and as long as we let out the wind, the villagers will visit it themselves. ”

Wuyang said: "This is the best way, but if we don't raise seedlings first, when the villagers want to plant, the seedlings will take the opportunity to raise prices, and it is our villagers who suffer." ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Secretary, don't worry, this seedling work is on me." I estimated that the mountainous land in our city that can be planted with coffee trees should be about 500,000 mu, and if the municipal party committee is determined to do a good job within five years, I will have the determination to cultivate seedlings. ”

"Okay, that's it. Lao Zeng, I really gained a lot from coming here today, and when I go back, I will organize the relevant responsible persons of the government to go out to visit and study, are you here to take the lead? ”

"Take the lead, I'll be the guide."

Wuyang said with a smile: "Lao Zeng, the CPPCC is not resting, but it still has a lot to do." You are the old secretary of the county party committee and used to be an assistant to the mayor, and you are familiar with the situation in the whole city, so it is very appropriate for you to take the lead. ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Secretary, not in his position, not in his politics, I can contribute, but I take the lead, people will definitely not listen to me, I can't command anyone, what can I do with enthusiasm?" ”

"With the CPPCC taking the lead, the municipal party committee vigorously supporting, whoever does not listen to the command, I will withdraw whom. Our CPPCC members are all over the city's towns and villages, and we have created a precedent for the CPPCC not only to participate in politics and discuss politics, but also to play a major role in economic construction, what do you think? ”

"Okay, I'll try. However, I must first make it clear that I am not vying for power and profit, nor am I not restless about participating in politics, but I am just responding to the call of the municipal party committee. ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Zeng, we have to fight for the right to contribute to economic construction, and we must take it for the benefit of our peasant friends. Whoever gossips, we are not afraid, and everyone can contribute the same. ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Secretary, since I have talked about this, I will do this work." Among the CPPCC members, there are quite a few entrepreneurs, and starting next Monday, we will organize visits and study trips to other places, so that some big households can start doing it first and then gradually popularize it later. If farmers want to plant coffee trees, like other cash crops, the biggest problem is money, and they may need loans from banks and credit cooperatives, which will require the support of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. ”

"No problem, give as much as you need, and ensure that you won't delay the farming time."

"There's one more problem. Coffee trees bear fruit early, the yield is high, the age of the tree is long, coffee beans to achieve a bumper yield is not a problem, but if it can not be sold well, farmers will still have a bumper yield can not be harvested, the municipal party committee, the municipal government should be deployed in advance in this regard. ”

"Okay, you're good. I will soon consult with the comrades in the government to try to establish a wholesale market for coffee beans in our city. In addition, wholesale offices have been set up in major cities across the country. Let the talented people in the city do this business. We can form cooperatives or set up companies to sell our coffee all over the country. ”

Zeng Qingrong said with a smile: "Secretary, I now know that you are so young, and you have become a strongman in economic construction." You are open-minded, good as a stream, as long as it is beneficial to the local and the public, you dare to make decisions. It is a blessing for all the citizens of Lanjiang City to be able to get such a good secretary as you. ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Zeng, don't put a high hat on me. This is a good idea, and the farmers will plant cash cows in the future. You just said that after the initial processing, we will start to prepare for the construction of a processing plant while planting coffee trees, and in the future, when there are conditions and technologies, we will carry out fine processing, create our own well-known brand, and increase added value. Strive to make all the money available to our citizens. ”

"Secretary, your mind is open-minded. Even the follow-up work was thought of. In the process of selling coffee beans in the future, we will get in touch with the world's famous coffee merchants, not only their suppliers, but also become franchisees. ”

"Okay, let's work in this direction in the future. Let's go, let's go see if it's okay over there. ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "How can it be so fast. I guess it's just a female mastiff. Secretary, I have prepared a fishing rod, are we fishing for fun? ”

"Okay, I've been in Lanjiang City for more than two years, and I haven't fished yet."

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll come over with my rod and bait right away, and I'll fish in this pond."

Zeng Qingrong left after speaking, Wuyang saw the fish pond between the valleys, the water surface is about 8 or 9 acres, the water is clear, the ancients said, the water is too clear, there is no fish, fortunately, I don't care too much about whether there is a harvest, just pass the time.

Zeng Qingrong brought two fishing rods made of small bamboo, the fishing line is very thick, and the bait is also very special, it is live loaches, small fish and some fish pieces.

"Lao Zeng, what kind of bait is this?"

"Secretary, there are a lot of carnivorous fish in this fish pond, mainly sea bass, mandarin fish and catfish, which have caused danger to the growth of domestic fish, so my brother-in-law wants me to catch some."

"I haven't caught any of these fish before, so I don't know how to catch them."

"It's very simple, you keep pulling the line, which is to fish for bass and mandarin fish, and if you hold the bait in one place and still or pull it slightly, you are fishing for catfish. The fishing line is thick, so you don't have to worry about breaking the line, just pull it directly until the fish is pulled up. ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try." After speaking, he put on the bait, threw it gently, threw it out for more than ten meters, and then slowly retracted the line, and sure enough, he quickly bit the hook and pulled it up, but there was nothing.

Throw it again, and there is no more. About 10 small fish were eaten, and none of them were caught. Switched to loach, the first time I caught a bass, about 1 catty, which is a big guy in the bass. I caught 7 or 8 perch, and then looked at Zeng Qingrong, I caught mandarin fish and catfish, 4 or 5 catties of mandarin fish, 7 or 8 catties of small catfish, and more than 10 catties of large catfish. The method of observing this is to first let the bait sink in one place, and if there is no fish bite, gently pull it, and then stop again.

According to the gourd to draw the scoop, it is really very smart, and the fish are pulled up one after another. By the time it was time for lunch, there were about 10 of each type of fish.

"Wuyang, it's all done, the breeding fee has been transferred, and we can go back in the afternoon." Xiaoya said.

"Good. Boss Wu, I caught a lot of fish just now, you see how much money is a catty, and I'll take it after the scale. ”

Wu Jiang said: "Boss Li, you will see the outside world when you say this. These fish were left in the pond when I took over the pond, and I regret not cleaning them up, and I welcome relatives and friends to come and fish them, so you don't talk about money. ”

Zeng Qingrong said: "Boss Li, if the fish you can eat tastes good, you can bring it back, don't ask for it if it tastes bad." It's not far from the city, so you are welcome to come and play more often in the future, okay? ”

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

After dinner, I returned home and asked my uncle to weigh the fish, there were 10 catties of perch, more than 100 catties of mandarin fish, and more than 120 catties of catfish. Uncle said: "These fish are very expensive, perch and catfish are more than 20 yuan per catty, mandarin fish is more than 40 yuan per catty, and if you fish in a fish pond, it is more expensive." ”

Wuyang said: "I really didn't know it was so expensive, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for it." ”

My uncle said, "People who fish are generally not fishing. Wuyang, I used to buy fish a few times. They are all fished in the river. I also asked people how to fish. I'm going to go shopping and try it. ”

"Uncle, if you want to try it, just try it, and let Xiaoya give you the money to buy things. The river here is very fast, so don't be in danger. ”

Uncle smiled: "I grew up by the river since I was a child, and the water is still okay, so you can rest assured." ”

The main dish of the evening was the fish made by my uncle. Uncle made fish level. It's not that the chefs in Wujiang's family can compare, and with the taste of his hometown, he eats more comfortably.

A few days later, my uncle's fishing tools were ready. I bought a small boat, bought a few nylon ropes to connect them, and then connected the fishing line and hook to the nylon rope, and loaded the hook with loaches. At two o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the nylon rope was fastened to a wooden stake by the river, and the fishing hooks were put into the river in a small boat.

He and Wuyang got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and their uncle rowed. Fishing in the afternoon sun. The hooks are every two meters, and basically they don't miss. There are fish on each hook. Catfish and mandarin fish are the mainstays, but there are also some black fish and eels.

The two nephews and uncles were busy for nearly two hours before they took the fish and fishing tackle back home, and the uncle weighed the fish and exceeded 400 catties, and the two of them were very happy. In the future, as long as the river does not rise sharply, this will become a reserved program for the nephews and uncles, and they will never get tired of it. The fish eaten at home has never been bought.

Before 8 o'clock on Saturday, Wang Jianmin's son Liu Zhirong, Zhao Zhenqian's younger brother Zhao Zhenkun, and Qiu Hongye's younger brother Qiu Hua came as scheduled.

Along the way, several people chatted without a word, Liu Zhirong is about 20 years old, tall and thin, white skin, and his mouth is "Uncle Li", Wuyang likes him quite a lot. Qiu Hongye's younger brother is a big man, his height and weight are above He Maoyou, and his face is full of pimples, which is stricter than before Wuyang. Zhao Zhenkun is a small man, no more than 1.70 meters tall, but he is very sturdy, shrewd and capable.

Liu Zhirong asked, "Uncle Li, what are we going to Tengyue for?" ”

Wuyang smiled: "If I say that I arrange for you to work in the wool yard in Tengyue, will you go?" ”

Liu Zhirong said: "Now that they are already on the road, I won't talk about whether I will go or not." I don't want to go, my leg is on me, I can still come back. But I'm sure Uncle Li will make us a lot of money. ”

"Do you two believe it?"

Zhao Zhenkun said: "I believe it. Minister Li, I don't really care, as long as it is better to work than farming, I will stay and work. ”

"At least working is to get cash, of course, it's better than farming. Qiu Hua, what about you? ”

Qiu Hua said: "I believe in luck, I want to try my luck with you, if you are lucky, you can make money to run an entity, and if you can't make money, you can honestly find a unit to work, and live a peaceful life for a lifetime, which is also a kind of life." ”

"Yes, that's it, luck comes, the door panel can't be stopped, no luck, you can't force it. Zhirong, if you make money, what are you going to do? ”

Liu Zhirong said: "It depends on how much money there is. ”

"What about more money, what about less money?"

"If you have more money, you will buy a promising patent and organize production, and if you have less money, you will continue to dream of getting rich, and when you wake up from the dream, you may take the road arranged by my mother, find a unit, and live a troubled life."

Zhao Zhenkun said: "Minister Li, I don't want to make a fortune, I can earn tens of thousands of yuan, go home and fence the responsibility mountain, plant some fruit trees, raise hundreds of chickens, slowly make money to build a house, serve my parents to support the elderly, and raise my son to start a family, it is a complete life." ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Zhao, do you know that the countryside is now planting medicinal herbs, fruits and other cash crops? ”

"I know, our mother-in-law has planted a lot in their county, so I am also ready to plant, and the fruit seedlings have been contacted, but I don't have money, so I can't do it."

"If you're lucky and make money this time, do you want to build a big plantation and contract all the nearby mountains?"

Qiu Hua said: "Minister Li, what kind of crops are you talking about on large-scale planting? ”

"Our city has vigorously promoted the cultivation of flowers, medicinal herbs, fruits and tobacco leaves, which require technology and a lot of labor, and for those you are starting to come into contact with, the best thing to grow on a large scale is coffee trees," Wuyang said. ”

Qiu Hua said: "Brother Zhao, if we make money, will we jointly build a big plantation?" I know that growing coffee is still very profitable. ”

Zhao Zhenkun said: "Okay. I'm just going to work. I won't go out to run, and when the time comes, you will be in charge of the outside, and I will be in charge of the inside, maybe you will really make a fortune. ”

Liu Zhirong said: "Uncle Li, how much profit per mu is from growing coffee?" ”

"According to the price offered by the buyer now, the profit per mu is about 5,000 yuan, and if the price rises in the future. There may be more, if you can create your own brand, the profit is not easy to estimate. ”

Liu Zhirong said: "Then I will do this too." ”

Wuyang smiled: "You are a city person, how can you go to do farm work?" ”

"Uncle Li, now everyone is doing what they are doing to make money, why bother to divide what farm work is not to do. Besides, if you have money, you can ask someone to do everything, just command it yourself, and this is also a project for your government to enrich the people. ”

"Good. It's up to your luck. ”

When I arrived at Zhu Bao's wool yard, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Sister-in-law He warmly welcomed them in. A hot meal was served immediately.

Wuyang said: "Sister-in-law, is business good lately?" ”

"Boss Li, thanks to you, business has been good."

"Have any jade merchants come over these days?"

Sister-in-law He said: "There are jade merchants, but there is no big boss coming. They all went to Myanmar to participate in the jade fair, and the public fair meeting had just ended, and the businessmen had no money in their hands. ”

Wuyang said: "That's really unfortunate, we want to buy some wool to cut out, if there is no buyer, there will be no market, we are not running for nothing?" ”

Sister-in-law He said: "There are still people who buy jadeite, but they are not jadeite merchants, they are real estate merchants. Now the country's macro-control of real estate, they will transfer the funds to the jadeite industry, this time some businessmen came, need a lot of jadeite, Zhu Bao they are not there, we can't cut out good jadeite to them, you are here, just to meet them. ”

Wuyang said: "Do you have such a person in the field? ”

"Yes, there are four, otherwise I wouldn't know about it. Boss Li, shall I call them in? ”

Wuyang said: "Yes, you don't want to expose our identity, just ask them what price they want jadeite, how much they need, and you can make love with Maoyou, don't worry about us." ”

Sister-in-law He said: "You make a lot of money, don't you give Maoyou a little bit?" ”

Wuyang smiled: "If no one else goes, why should we give it to him?" ”

"Then it's better to make out at night, don't you make a bastard if you have money."

"Okay, you tell me, which wool yard here has new wool, let's go over and buy it and cut it."

Sister-in-law He said: "You haven't been here for so long, which one hasn't imported new wool?" By the way, the owner of the company where you bought large wool last time recently came to our wool yard to find you, saying that there is a big wool to sell to you. ”

Wuyang said, "Okay, I'll go over tomorrow and have a look." Sister-in-law, we're all almost full, so go and contact the buyer. ”

Sister-in-law He said, "What's the hurry? Take a break after a full meal, and people won't leave for a while. Saying that, she went to find someone anyway.

As soon as a few people had eaten and taken the tea, Sister-in-law He came in with 4 people. "Boss Li, these bosses asked, when will there be jade."

Wuyang said: "Don't worry, sit down and drink tea first, we have negotiated the price, and then we will go to buy wool and cut it out?" ”

A merchant said, "Young man, is jadeite so easy to cut?" You think it's Chinese cabbage! ”

When Wuyang heard him say this, it was estimated that he was not a real big boss, but purely a nouveau riche. It is estimated that they don't need much, so I want to provoke them and let them show their hole cards.

"We can see if we can cut it out in a while, we will talk about the price first, cut it out and pay by the pound, which will save a lot of time."

The merchant said, "Didn't you say that jadeite is always auctioned, and the highest bidder wins?" ”

Wuyang said: "That's the practice of some jadeite merchants, they have little capital, that is, to buy one or two pieces, see how many bracelets and how many pendants can be opened for a piece of jadeite, how much can be sold, and only quote after calculating clearly." If you have a big boss and abundant funds, and the people who participate in the auction are all your own people, and you buy jadeite for collection and keep it for appreciation, there is no need to engage in bidding. ”

The merchant said, "If there is no auction, will the price be very high?" ”

"It's only going to be a little lower, definitely not higher than the auction. If necessary, after cutting out the jadeite, I will explain it to you according to the method of the jadeite merchant, and you will understand. ”

"Young man, we are indeed laymen, but why did you sell it to us for less than the auction price?" (To be continued......)
