Li Dacui was asked by Zhou Jueming, and his mind was immediately clouded. I really didn't think about the price.

The old man and the old woman chose the bamboo shoots and asked the young woman to weigh them and pay for them.

The young woman asked Zhou Jueming and Li Dacui, how much do you sell for bamboo shoots a catty? The two looked at the young woman blankly.

The young woman laughed in her heart, why are these two mountain people from the mountains so funny?

Seeing that the two of them had no owner, the young woman hurriedly said: "Sell cheaply, sell cheaply, three yuan a catty, three yuan a catty." ”

Young women know that bamboo shoots that have just been put on the market are generally three or five or four pieces a catty. In order to let the bamboo shoots of the two of them be out of stock as soon as possible, a little cheaper is the way.

Zhou Jueming and Li Dacui were very surprised when they heard that three yuan a catty. It is surprising that such coarse goods in the mountains can be sold at this price.

Zhou Jueming hurriedly took the bamboo shoots selected by the old man and the old woman and put them on the electronic scale to weigh them, while Li Dacui was settling accounts and collecting money next to him.

The young woman shouted next to her again: "Grandparents, how can you eat bamboo shoots instead of chicken?" ”

Some say stewed pig's feet, some say stewed bacon. The young woman said that the pig's feet and bacon were greasy, so it was better to buy a running pheasant and stew it, which was both nutritious and healthy.

An old man and an old woman who had listened to the persuasion bought another chicken or half a chicken, and then left satisfied.

The county seat is worthy of being a county seat, with a large population flow and a lot of food consumption. In the afternoon, some hot pot restaurant owners and Chinese restaurant owners came to buy one after another, and more than 200 catties of fresh bamboo shoots were sold out.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Dacui didn't want to rush back to Zhucun in a hurry, so he wanted to stay in the city for one night, and by the way, he would see the renovation progress of the new house purchased by his son during the Spring Festival.

Zhou Jueming thought that the bamboo shoots were easy to sell, so he took advantage of the current season to go back and dig some more to sell; In this way, the money for seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers will be lost.

The two of them settled the accounts, and each took the money and went their separate ways.

Zhou Jueming came out of the city and quickly ran to the bus station, but fortunately, the last train to Shuangjiang Town was leaving the station. Zhou Jueming stopped the shuttle, grabbed the nylon bag containing bamboo shoots, took the shuttle bus, and rushed back to Shuangjiang Town with a shake.

In the swaying, Zhou Jueming fell asleep, and even snored and dreamed. In the unclear dream, there are bamboo shoots sprouting out of the mountains and forests.

He carried the hoe, carefully distinguishing the bamboo shoots that could not be made into bamboo, and as soon as he hoeed down, the fat bamboo shoots were dug out with a click, grinning, and smiling at him like a fat baby.

"It's time to get off." The driver's eldest brother's voice suddenly sounded. Zhou Jueming saw that Shuangjiang Town had arrived. Hurriedly jumped out of the car and rented a motorcycle to rush back to Zhucun.

After dinner, Zhou Jueming came to Wu Sifu's house in the moonlight and told him in detail about selling bamboo shoots during the day.

With a brisk tone and a joyful look, Wu Sifu has a full view. Farmers like Zhou Jueming are easy to be content with a small amount of wealth. The money they earned with their own hands made them so excited and satisfied.

Zhou Jueming and Wu Sifu settled that he had seventy or eighty catties and sold them for more than two hundred yuan. Tomorrow I will go up the mountain and dig some more, and the money for pesticides and fertilizers will be available. Then he gave him Wu Sifu's money.

Wu Sifu said that when digging bamboo shoots, we must not dig indiscriminately, and we must not damage the bamboo forest for temporary profits.

Zhou Jueming nodded silently.

Now he feels that as long as he follows Wu Sifu, he will definitely get rid of poverty. Therefore, Wu Sifu's words almost became a holy decree in his mind.

Wu Sifu said again, you dig up bamboo shoots tomorrow, don't peel the shells, and transport them to the city together with the bamboo shoot shells.

Zhou Jueming didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Zhou Jueming didn't understand why the bamboo shoots had to be transported to the city with shells. The roads are not smooth, and the bamboo shoots with shells are extremely heavy, so won't they cost their lives and money?

Wu Sifu saw that Zhou Jueming was unclear, and explained: "Fresh bamboo shoots with shells peeled are not easy to store. You just sold so much today, and tomorrow you will sell again, will there still be many people who will buy it? If it comes with a shell, it can be left for a few more days. ”

When Zhou Jueming heard it, it turned out to be this principle. I was so bent on selling it for money that I hadn't thought about storage yet. It seems that Wu Sifu is really comprehensive and meticulous in considering the problem.

Zhou Jueming did as he was told.

The next day, Secretary Wang and Mayor Li took the staff of the town government to Zhucun to inspect the spring ploughing production. Wu Sifu took the town leaders to the foot of the mountain and the col for inspection.

The town leaders saw that the paddy fields in Zhucun had not yet been planted, and knew that the season on the mountain was late, so they did not ask in detail. The leader doesn't ask, but also has to explain.

Wu Sifu explained loudly that the paddy fields have already been ploughed. Due to the late climate on the mountain, the seedlings have not yet been planted; The slopes have been planted with corn, red vetch, soybeans, etc.

Secretary Wang and Mayor Li saw that the mountains in Zhucun were high and dense, and there were not many fields, so after listening to Wu Sifu's report, they had no intention of checking the planting of spring crops.

After a while, Secretary Wang asked Wu Sifu as if he remembered something: "Your Zhucun has been designated as a provincial-level poor village, have the two committees of your village branch come up with a good way to help the people get rid of poverty?" ”

Wu Sifu didn't expect Secretary Wang to ask himself this question.

For thousands of years, the people of Zhucun have relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft water, scoop soil paper, weave bamboo products, etc., and their lives are quite passable.

Nowadays, the state advocates ecological and environmental protection, saying that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets; Protecting the environment is as protective as protecting the eyes, so the scooping industry is banned, and traditional skills are about to be lost.

Nowadays, modern science and technology are changing with each passing day, plastic products have entered thousands of households, and people no longer use bamboo products, so the people of Zhucun are guarding 10,000 acres of bamboo mountain, and the days are stretched in today's rapid economic development.

Wu Sifu pondered the current situation of Zhucun for a while, and said bluntly: Secretary Wang, in my opinion, the key to a well-off society in an all-round way lies in the countryside; The rural areas are well-off, and the foundation is transportation. I think the biggest problem in our Bamboo Village right now is the inconvenience of transportation.

Due to the inconvenience of transportation, the people of our bamboo village should dig bamboo shoots in season and sell them in the county, but they cannot be transported, and the best bamboo shoots have to be buried in the mountains.

In addition, we want to raise pheasants and ecological pigs, but the food we feed cannot be brought in, and the grown livestock cannot be transported.

Secretary Wang didn't know the reason why the transportation was inconvenient and the economic development was delayed, but there was no way to solve it in front of him.

However, when Wu Sifu mentioned bamboo shoots, he seemed to be interested.

"Have you ever thought about deep processing of fresh bamboo shoots? For example, drying fresh bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots, or making dried bamboo shoots, can solve the problem of bamboo shoots passing out of season faster. Secretary Wang said that the thoughts in his heart were not mature enough.

"Deep processing is a good method." The accompanying work comrades echoed.

"Secretary Tang is the resident secretary of the Transportation Bureau stationed in Zhucun, can't he repair the road in Zhucun?" Mayor Li interjected and asked.

"Last year, technicians from the county transportation bureau came to Zhucun to investigate, but I don't know if the design plan is out now. Secretary Tang has been going back to the city to run the door for this matter for the past two days. Wu Sifu explained.

After hearing this, Secretary Wang felt that Tang Xiaohong and Wu Sifu were trying to find ways to do practical things for the people, and felt that these two cadres were down-to-earth and worthy of confidence.

Later, he told Wu Sifu to use his brains and think of more ways to help the people of Zhucun get rid of poverty and become healthy as soon as possible.

Wu Sifu should be again and again.

Seeing that noon was approaching, Wu Sifu was anxious, how to entertain the leaders at noon? It would be nice if Tang Xiaohong was here, he knew how to entertain the leader; In this regard, he is clumsy, and he can't say a word on the scene.

Secretary Wang saw Wu Sifu hesitating, knowing that he was worried about entertaining lunch. Thinking that Wu Sifu had just taken office, he was not familiar with many jobs, so he had to adapt slowly.

Secretary Wang said solemnly: "Village Chief Wu doesn't have to worry about the noon reception, let's go back to the house and go to the town for a working meal." You just have to do a good job in Murakami. ”

After seeing through his heart, Wu Sifu was embarrassed, so he had to say curtly: "Zhucun is short of funds, and his hands are long and his sleeves are short, so he can't entertain everyone, which makes the leaders laugh." ”

Wu Sifu waved goodbye to the leader.

Back at home, Wu Sifu hurriedly served the chickens and pigs, cooked lunch for himself, and after eating indiscriminately, he went to the bamboo forest with his back on his back.

He wanted to dig up some bamboo shoots and come back and try to process them deeply. If the trial is successful, it will be rolled out in Zhucun next year.

Wu Sifu came to the bamboo forest and carefully identified the bamboo shoots that could not grow into bamboo. Find the bamboo shoots, hoe down, and the white and chubby bamboo shoots will break out of the ground with a loud sound.

Wu Sifu dug up a large number of bamboo shoots in one go, and after falling into the dam, he went to dig in the bamboo forest, and after a while, the bamboo shoots in the dam were piled up like a hill.

Wu Sifu then began to peel the bamboo shoot shells. The bamboo shoots stripped of the bamboo shoot shell are white and tender, simple and cute, pretty and lovely.

Wu Sifu cut the bamboo shoots into long strips, put them in an iron pot filled with water, lit the firewood, and began to simmer; Then put it out in a bamboo basket and put it on the bamboo fence in the dam to dry, and make dried bamboo shoots.

The next day, the fence in Wu Sifu's dam was filled with bamboo shoots boiled in clear water. For a few days, Wu Sifu went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and more and more bamboo shoots were dried in the dam.

Zhou Jueming dug up the bamboo shoots and shipped them to the county seat for sale. Sure enough, as Wu Sifu said, there were many fewer people buying. The bamboo shoots that have been peeled off are sunburned and wilted. Zhou Jueming felt Wu at this time

Sifu is thoughtful.

Zhou Jueming handed over the unsold bamboo shoots to the young woman in the chicken shop to sell on his behalf, and he hurried home. When he came to Wu Sifu's house, he saw bamboo shoots drying in the dam of his house, and Zhou Jueming couldn't figure it out, what kind of medicine was being sold in Wu Sifu's gourd?

Wu Sifu saw that Zhou Jueming was in a hurry, and explained: bamboo shoot digging is time-sensitive; The sale of fresh bamboo shoots has limitations, and if you really want to make a profit, you have to find a way to carry out deep processing.

The easiest way to further process bamboo shoots is to make dried bamboo shoots. In winter, stewed chicken with dried bamboo shoots and stewed pork knuckles with dried bamboo shoots are all excellent delicacies. As for sales, you can contact the dry and fresh shops in the city and town to sell them.

Zhou Jueming listened to Wu Sifu's words, and admired Wu Sifu in his heart.
