Chapter 32 Develop a side hustle

About half an hour later, Zhang Guangming led Zhang Guangcai to drive the carriage and came to the lively vegetable market.

Zhang Guangcai looked confused, he didn't know how to sell this truckload of popcorn.

Zhang Guangming was quite confident, wearing a big shabby straw hat covering his face, and carrying a small bucket with a lid in his hand, and walked into the crowd of people who came to buy vegetables.

The women who came to buy groceries whispered, "Huh? Why does it smell like sweet popcorn? ”

They were very curious, and they all lowered their voices excitedly and said, "If you can buy some of this thing to take home, how much the children will like it." ”

It looks like they want to buy it, but they can't find the popcorn there.

The women anxiously tried their best to find the smell with their noses, Zhang Guangming touched the sad face of Zhang Guangcai with his arm and said: Don't worry about the small food we brought can't be sold, look, they will find us!

A woman came to Zhang Guangming and shouted, "Oh, this smell is coming from this bucket!"

When Zhang Guangming saw that the time had come, he was full of smiles and began to introduce them to popcorn of various shapes and flavors in detail.

He looked at them all with salivating expressions on their faces.

The women said:

"Can you let us taste it before we buy it?"

"yes, let's try one first, shall we?"

……

Zhang Guangcai immediately showed a happy smile, and squeezed Zhang Guangming's eyes, which means that you said, "What you expected is really right."

Zhang Guangming gave him a satisfied look back, which means that we can't ask for it.

He looked sincere, and then he took out a round, square, diamond-shaped, oval, flower-shaped, animal-shaped...... The processed products were distributed to them.

After watching them smell the sweet and attractive taste of popcorn, and they were full of rare eyes, admiring the vivid images like blooming flowers, and there were many popcorns like all kinds of small animals, they couldn't wait to taste it.

Zhang Guangming didn't speak, he handed the kegs to everyone one by one.

They scrambled to pick up a chunk of sweet popcorn and stuffed it into their mouths, and everyone chewed and ate it with a clattering sound.

They all said:

"It's so sweet and crispy!"

"Well, it's so delicious and beautiful!"

"That's great! Kids will love it! ”

When the women tasted this, they nodded with satisfaction and said:

"I'll buy five!"

"Bring me ten."

……

The rush to buy here attracted a lot of other people who came to sell vegetables.

Zhang Guangcai didn't expect that a lot of people would come around at once and rob the truckload of corn processed products.

Suddenly, Zhang Guangming and Zhang Guangcai couldn't close their mouths happily.

On the way back to the village, they happily looked forward to the future of the production team.

When they returned to the production team, they immediately distributed the money from the sale of popcorn to the members, and everyone was overjoyed and burst into tears.

This trip allowed the people of Makino Flower Village to see an opportunity to make money.

Zhang Guangming commanded various production teams, and they pulled truckloads of processed corn products to the county market and the meeting in the big village to sell them.

Zhang Guangming was deeply inspired, and immediately afterward, he commanded the production teams to dry the eight ripe spring peanuts and process them into fried peanuts of various flavors and shapes.

There are also sesame seeds, beans, ......

Zhang Zhishu first used a small pocket boiler to burst the fruits of these crops into flowers, and then used honey, sunflower oil, and sugar to process them into various shapes, and then pulled them to the vegetable market in the county and was also robbed by people.

Although this year's wheat crop has been greatly reduced, Makinohua Village has made three times more money than other villages that have matured grain in autumn.

So the whole village rejoiced.

What about the land to the south?

Zhang Guangming and the members of the club first sprinkled dung, then ploughed the target, and then planted new cotton varieties that had sent out short buds.

Of course, these seeds were cultivated by Zhang Zhishu in Heze, Shandong Province, and they were also purchased from there.

What about the aquatic animals in the big pond?

Zhang Guangming and Li Yuqin, the manager of the vegetable market in the city, negotiated ducklings and geese, as well as those fish, shrimp, and soft-shelled turtles...... The business of buying and selling these small aquatic animals.

Manager Li immediately refused: "You can wait until they grow up to bring in sales."

Because it's still small, it can't be sold, so we can't buy it. She was leaving.

Zhang Guangming hurriedly opened his arms to stop Manager Li and said, "I heard that your Manager Li has the sharpest and most unique vision for doing business. ”

"Zhang Zhishu, don't say words to compliment me, it's useless." She said in a disdainful tone, "I think the things that are fed in the pond in your village are so small, how can they be sold?"

Let's go, don't tremble in front of me. She said that she didn't raise her head, so she pushed Zhang Guangming out.

"We process these aquatic animals and poultry, which can be processed into fried and fried snacks, and you can wholesale them to various restaurants!" Manager Li immediately looked up at Zhang Guangming with a puzzled expression. "Rich people will like to eat these rare snacks when they have red and white ceremonies, don't you say?"

Manager Li blinked, and listened to him continue with a serious expression, "Although those ducks and geese in our village, as well as those aquatic animals, are still small, but what?

Whether it's fried or fried, it's so fresh and tender, and it's suitable for all ages!

You see? ”

Manager Li thought about it, nodded and agreed, and bought them all.

Zhang Guangming hurriedly returned to the village and told all the villagers the good news on the loudspeaker, which made everyone almost jump up with joy.

So, everyone came to the pond one after another, and caught these aquatic animals and poultry that should be caught, and what should be caught.

The cadres and the masses put these "delicate babies" into plastic buckets, set up horse-drawn carts, and carried plastic buckets onto the cars.

The "big men" drove the carriages and pulled these "delicate babies" to the vegetable market in the city, and they were all sold.

The early ripening melons and new varieties of vegetables in the north were also sold to the city's vegetable market.

Zhang Guangming has benefited the villagers.

This made the whole village see Zhang Zhishu's unique vision of doing business.

The members of the club always said with some anxiety: "Will this kind of business always go so smoothly?" ”

……

The crop fields in Makino Flower Village are the most standardized farmland in the county.

Everyone said: This is because there is a strict Zhang Zhishu, and he is the result of his command in place.

Indeed, Zhang Zhishu has very strict requirements for each production team.

He asked each team to make the soil fertile, the ground flat, the ridges straight, and the seedlings strong.

He personally went to Shandong and bought all kinds of grain and cotton seeds that he had carefully cultivated there before, with the strongest straw, the largest fruits, and the strongest disease resistance.

There are corn, peanuts, cotton, soybeans, sesame and other good varieties.

The mules of each squad pulled the horses and walked forward as hard as they could, and the seeds in the slab flowed down the holes in the scarf.

Zhang Guangming believes that the good seeds that flow into the soil are the hope of the villagers!

He commanded the various squads, and after all kinds of good seeds were finished, he finally asked everyone to use iron rakes to carve straight vertical ridges one by one, and divide the farmland into furrows, which looked both standard and pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Guangming personally drove the carriage and pulled the "delicate babies" in the big pond in the south of the village to the vegetable market in the city, and after selling a clean light, he went to Zaoshu Village to buy a new batch of ducklings and geese, as well as aquatic small animal seedlings, and put them into the big pond again.

Under the careful feeding of Zhang Guangming, the careful management of timely oxygenation and timely disinfection, this new batch of "delicate babies" is growing healthily day by day.

On this morning, the sun hung high in the blue sky, and the crowd saw the delicate lotus flowers in the pond and smiled at the people of the village.

"Look at how beautiful the lotus flowers in that pond are!"

"Look at the flowers and trees on the smiling faces around you, the flowers are gorgeous, the emerald green leaves, and the colorful flowers make people feel happy, and it is really unforgettable!"

He led the villagers to cultivate a variety of herbal seeds on the ruins of a large collapsed temple in the village, according to the list prescribed by Dean Wang.

As soon as the work of planting seeds here is over, it will rain lightly, so the seedlings of the seeds in each block will definitely come out more than one piece.

Every day before dawn, Zhang Guangming first went to the big pond to work for a while, and then went to various farmlands to check the growth.

Every time he saw the surface of the soil of a crop field, revealing tender pale green buds, his heart would be happy.

After only a few days, the buds revealed their emerald green buds, like babies, shaking their heads at people with joy, which was very cute.

On this day, Zhang Guangming explained to the cadres of all large and small teams: "All kinds of seedlings have come out of the brush, so we must carefully manage the autumn crops."

It is not as lax as in the spring, not only are the rivers blocked, the fields are overgrown with weeds, but also cause a flood of pests and diseases.

It has also caused extraordinary difficulties and irreparable situations for the villagers' food and clothing problems.

Therefore, we must dredge the river in time and pay attention to the management of autumn: hoeing, top dressing, insect control, disease prevention, none of which can be sloppy.

What about these things?

As long as our cadres and the masses work together to take care of all kinds of seedlings, their growth will be strong and healthy! ”

Everyone bowed their heads in acquiescence, and then hummed in agreement.

Zhang Guangming continued: "There is also a series of management such as pruning and pruning cotton, and you can't be lazy in everything!" ”

The cadres of the large and small teams nodded one after another and said, "Yes, we can no longer be careless." ”

They also realized that due to their respective dereliction of duty in the spring, the villagers had suffered serious consequences of reducing grain and cotton production.

Each admits that he does have a responsibility, and it is a great responsibility! In this regard, everyone made a profound review.

The summer rains are frequent, and the weeds and herbs that grow in the wasteland grow fast, which are the best fodder for poultry and livestock.

So Zhang Guangming asked every household to engage in poultry and livestock breeding.

Zhang Zhishu said to the masses: "Pigs love to eat purslane and tender grass, sheep love to eat stick grass and dog tail grass, and chickens, ducks and geese love to eat wild vegetables with flowers and leaves."

For example: gray cabbage, amaranth...... Livestock are not picky eaters, and they like to eat any kind of tender grass.

Zhang Zhishu and the masses came to reclaim the wasteland, and collected all kinds of green and green weeds and wild vegetables and scattered them for the livestock and poultry to eat.

He instructed everyone to chop up the weeds with a guillotine, add some mulberry leaves, dandelions, purslane, wolfberry seedlings, etc., and stir more than a dozen wild vegetables and grain bran to feed the animals; Feed more than a dozen kinds of traditional Chinese medicine seedlings such as cauliflower, noodle vegetables, rice and artemisia annua, as well as white artemisia seedlings and artemisia annua seedlings, mugwort seedlings, and bupleurum seedlings.

After experimenting again and again, he found that ......
