Chapter 247
In October, the temperature in Saibei province drops very quickly!
Before mid-October, there was widespread frost in the fields, and in the morning, ice ballast even appeared on the banks of the creek outside the village!
The temperature dropped, and the most affected was the Li family's business.
On October 5, Li Yi personally borrowed a loudspeaker in the village to issue a notice that the Li family would stop buying mushrooms from now on.
In fact, due to the colder and colder weather, the mushrooms in the mountains are basically not growing, and even if someone enters the mountain, it is difficult to pick mushrooms of acceptable quality.
And now the people in the village don't have so much time to pick mushrooms, so when they heard that the Li family didn't collect mushrooms, although everyone was very reluctant, they didn't say anything!
What's more, after the crops in the field are almost harvested, the big guys have to pull firewood and divide the grass, and they also have to hand over the task food and distribute the food to the members, which is very busy!
Li Yi has not been idle these days, because he doesn't have to run to the county every day, so he is busy with a few little brothers in the new house every day!
They need to pack the dried mushrooms into bags and put them neatly in the warehouse.
In addition, I have to go to the second sister's house to bring back the dried mushrooms over there.
On the one hand, the second sister's family has no warehouse, and there are only three small houses in the whole family, so many mushrooms have no place to store.
On the other hand, the preservation of dried mushrooms requires conditions, and they cannot be damp or blistered, which is not the case for the second sister's family.
Because there were too many mushrooms, Li Yi took six or seven little brothers to work hard for more than ten days before he could be considered to have processed all the dried mushrooms.
At the same time, Li Yi also counted the weight of these dried mushrooms.
Good guy, in just three months from July to now, more than 100,000 catties of mushrooms have been exposed.
According to the calculation of five catties of fresh mushrooms and one catty of dried mushrooms, that is to say, in three months, they have recovered a total of more than 500,000 catties of fresh mushrooms.
Seeing this data, Li Yi also felt a little shocked.
But it's a relief to think about it, this is the fruit of more than three months of labor of the people of the two villages, and this is also a deliberate limit on the quantity, otherwise, the number may be more.
Now that all these dried mushrooms have been put into the warehouse, the next step is to wait for the price of dried mushrooms to rise, and then ship!
100,000 catties of dried mushrooms, normally speaking, can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan!
And all the costs of Li Yi add up to less than 100,000 yuan, a 100% profit!
It's a pity that the price of dried mushrooms is not high at the moment, and you need to wait at least one to two months to ship them.
After being busy with these things, the matter of going to the capital should also be put on the agenda.
Although the capital issued the relevant decree on November 4, if it is too late to go at that time.
Because the executive order issued this time only allows ordinary people to engage in catering and small commodity trade, the business scope is somewhat narrow, so the industry is relatively concentrated.
It is conceivable that once the decree is officially announced, the prices of shops and stores in the capital will inevitably soar, and they may not be able to rent them if they go late.
Therefore, Li Yi needs to rent the store in advance!
After some thought, Li Yi decided to leave before October 25th and set aside 10 days for himself to rent a storefront!
However, just as Li Yi was about to discuss this matter with his family, he found that the atmosphere at home was not quite right!
LI Jia. Old house!
When night falls, the lights come on!
After Li Yi came back from the new house, he saw the third sister cooking by the stove, and his mother was working beside him!
And the father squatted on the pony at the door, his brows furrowed!
I didn't see Tang Xue, but the lights in the west room were already on, and she should be reading a book inside.
Since she made up her mind to be admitted to a prestigious school in Beijing, she has put all her energy into reading every day, except for eating, most of the time is reading and studying, and she works very hard.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Yi felt that the atmosphere in the Dao family was a little wrong, and everyone was very silent, unlike before when they talked and laughed.
"Father, mother, what's the matter, why don't you talk and quarrel?"
Dad glared at him, and then said angrily: "If you don't speak, it's a quarrel, can you hope we have a good time?" ”
"So what's wrong with you, what's your reaction?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
Dad sighed and said: "Today, the team posted the distribution plan, the head food and the labor food are divided into five or five points, and each person's ration is only 180 catties!" ”
"180 pounds, so little?"
It's no wonder that Li Yi was so surprised, you must know that although last year's harvest was not good, there were still 225 catties of head food for each member.
In addition, if you divide the food, as long as it is a strong labor force for work, each person can get almost 420 catties.
But I didn't expect that there was only 180 catties of rations this year!
Don't underestimate it, it's just 45 catties less, which is equivalent to a month's ration consumption for an adult in the village.
And this is just a small amount of people, some families in the village have more than ten or twenty people, which is less than hundreds of catties of grain.
Dad sighed and said: "There is little rain this summer, and the crops have missed the growth time, and the frost falls early in the autumn, and both wheat and wheat are only 60% of last year's harvest." ”
"If you cut out the task grain for the country, there is not much food surplus in the village, so you can only compress the head food!"
Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then said to his father: "Dad, less is less, anyway, our family can't be hungry, don't be unhappy!" ”
However, Li Shankui shook his head and said: "I'm not worried that our family won't have food, but I think about the lives of other families in the village. ”
"It's okay, everyone has made a lot of money with our Li family in the past two months, so you shouldn't be hungry!" Li Yi said.
"That's true, but now most people have money in their hands and don't have tickets, so it's not cost-effective to buy food with money!"
Then the father continued: "In addition, there are some families with many dolls in the village, with few rations and many children, so they can't live their lives!" ”
"It's come to this, and there's no way around it!" Li Yi sighed and said.
"Aren't you kid quite capable, can you think of a way?"
Without waiting for Li Yi to speak, Zhang Yuehong on the side stopped doing it and yelled at Li Shankui: "You dead old man, you dare to let your son interfere in such a thankless thing?" ”
"If you do a good job, others will benefit, and if you don't do well, our son will be scolded, and your head will be kicked by a donkey?"
And the third sister Li Na, who was cooking on the side, also said: "Dad, this is the ration for hundreds of people in the village, where do you let Xiao Yi go in the winter?" ”
When his wife and daughter said this, Dad was silent as always, sitting on the pony and bowing his head silently!
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you really want me to help the villagers?" ”
"Is there a way?"
"Yes, yes, but it needs the consent of the big guys!" Li Yi said.
"Tell me what you think!" Daddy said with anticipation on his face.
"Hmm!"
At that moment, Li Yi simply told his father what he thought.
After listening to Li Yi's plan, Li Shankui immediately stood up from the pony, and then pulled Li Yi and walked towards the outside of the gate!
