Chapter 183: Bones in the Sky
Dairy farmers have been in a hurry for a long time.
I've been here for half an hour, and there are many onlookers, but there are few people buying.
Looking at the rarities one by one, it was like coming to the circus.
Finally someone asked for the price.
"This boss, my milk is only 2 cents 4 per pound." The dairy farmer was afraid that Lu Hao would be too expensive, and explained, "If you buy it at the milk station, it will cost 3 cents for a pound of raw milk, and if it is that kind of sterilized milk, it will be even more expensive, 6 cents for a catty." ”
Raw milk is actually not delicious, and those who have a daughter-in-law know it, it smells fragrant, it tastes light, and it is fishy in the refrigerator.
Milk is expensive, tastes unpalatable, and is not easy to store, and the combination of several factors is the reason for the poor sales.
Some dairy companies sometimes don't collect milk, and dairy farmers have no means of storage, so they have more for their own use, so they take the cows to the market to see if they can sell a little and recover their losses.
The weather is hot, and it is not good to squeeze it out in advance, so sell it now and squeeze it to keep it fresh, and you can also try to sell it at a good price.
Just like selling vegetables, pick vegetables early in the morning and rush to the vegetable market in the dark to try to sell them at a good price.
2 cents and 4 pounds, this price is not expensive.
"Can you squeeze a kilogram?" Lu Hao asked.
"Yes." The dairy farmer said with a smile, "This cow can milk more than ten catties a day, and it has to be milked three times a day. ”
The dairy farmer glanced at Nini, who was standing beside Lu Hao, "This is your baby?" The child is too young, but don't give her raw milk to drink, it's easy to have stomach upset and has to be heated. ”
Lu Hao smiled, this dairy farmer is quite sincere, and he didn't say that the milk just squeezed out is fresh, delicious, and nutritious.
Many people have a misunderstanding about fresh milk, thinking that the milk just squeezed out is called fresh milk, high nutrition, positive taste, pure natural and pollution-free, in fact, this is not the truth, the milk just squeezed out has high nutritional value, yes, but it is often accompanied by a lot of bacteria, to heat and disinfect themselves.
It's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of hygiene, after all, it's milk, not human milk, and it's impossible for dairy farmers to wash the milk every day, because it will be stained with bacteria.
Adults may be fine if they drink it, but if they drink it to children, the children may be infected if they have little resistance.
"How do you heat this raw milk?" Su Min Q&A.
"Simple, you have a pot at home, right? Just put it in a pot and boil it, but be careful, control the heat, and don't cook it. "If you want sugar at home, you can add some sugar to it, it will taste better, and it will be easier for children to accept." ”
"Don't look at this thing, it tastes a little fishy, but it is nutritious, and many leaders have ordered it at home for the elderly and children."
Su Min immediately went upstairs and took an enamel jar down.
The dairy farmer put the enamel jar aside, and he took out a glass bottle and explained to Lu Hao, "This is the milk bottle used by the milk station, a bottle is 250 grams, I don't want to be embarrassed, you can also weigh it yourself when you take it back, and you can look for me if it is asymmetrical." ”
He squeezed 4 bottles of milk, poured them all into the enamel jar, and added a small half bottle, which was considered a loss.
Do business with sincerity.
"Will you come back tomorrow?" Lu Hao asked.
"Boss tomorrow? Come, do you want it in the morning, or in the afternoon? The farmer said immediately.
Milk is not easy to sell, if it were not for subsidies, he would not have raised dairy cows, the dairy company first buys milk from state-owned units, collective units, and only when there is a shortage of milk will it buy private milk.
Many times the company does not come to collect, they drink too much, no one wants to sell it, there is a cost to digest every day, and feed and the like all need money.
He was forced to come to the city with a cow, and sure enough, no one asked for half an hour, and now he was very happy that someone was willing to buy it.
"Yes, in the morning, in the afternoon." Lu Hao has a good appetite.
Come once in the morning and be in good spirits all day.
Once before going to bed to help you sleep.
He looked at the dairy farmer, "You're not far away, it's inconvenient to come here?" ”
If it's too far, he will find someone to see if he can order milk from the dairy company.
Milk must be drunk consistently to be effective.
"It's not far, it's not far, I'm very close, it's in the suburbs, it's more than 40 minutes walk." The dairy farmer knew that this business could be done for a long time, and he was excited to speak, for fear of yellow, "I will bring the cows over in the morning and come over again in the afternoon, and then I will wait for the boss at the gate of the community?" ”
One boss at a time, in order to earn a few cents, he is not afraid of hard work.
It takes more than 40 minutes to come over, and it takes about an hour and a half to come and go, and one trip in the morning and one trip in the evening, which is three or four hours.
In order to live, there are no simple two words to speak of.
But in fact, there is more hard work than this, some of them grow their own vegetables, or grow some fruits, in order to sell at a good price, they will even pull a cart, carry a burden and walk dozens of kilometers to do business.
Just to make a few more dollars of the difference.
Bring a few big steamed buns with you, a bottle of warm white open, and tube for a day.
Many people miss being carefree when they were young, but in fact, there will be people who carry the weight for them.
"I won't use it in the afternoon." Lu Hao said, "You just come over in the morning." ”
He saw that the dairy farmer's face changed a little, and immediately explained, "I also need milk in the afternoon, but you don't have to go out of your way in the afternoon, just come over in the morning, I have a refrigerator at home, and I will get more and put it in the refrigerator to ice when the time comes." ”
There is a refrigerator to store a little longer.
"Thank you, boss." After the dairy farmer heard this, he put down the apprehension in his heart.
Even if he can only earn 5 cents a day by selling milk, he is content, and it is 15 yuan a month, which is not easy.
In the countryside, few people drink milk, at most it is a baby who has just come out, the mother has no milk, and asks to borrow a little, and then the dying old man, the son comes to ask for a little, and the old man supplements nutrition.
If you can't afford medicine, you can only drink some milk before you die, which is all psychological comfort.
Filial piety is the first, and there is no trace of the heart.
Nini tilted her head and looked at Lu Hao, "Dad, why don't you just buy this cow, and when I go to school in the future, I can still ride the cow to school, how convenient is it?" ”
She even thought about the means of transportation for school in the future.
This mental circuit is always so unusual.
"Put you in the bed?" Lu Hao said.
"Dad, you're really kidding, my bed is so small, if you let the cows go, how can you lie down?" Niu Niu is a big ghost, "You can't hug your mother at night, are you willing?" ”
This girl......
In turn, he was armed.
A family of 3 returned to the community, Lu Hao took down the sack containing Moutai from the car, Xiaoye Sunflower Moutai did not give Nini, the little padded jacket has been a little leaky recently, I am afraid that she will accidentally fall, so I also took it myself, and went back to the house with some effort.
"I'm going to boil milk." Su Min entered the kitchen with an enamel jar.
After a while, Chong Lu Hao asked, "It's all cooked, or do you want to save some?" ”
