Chapter 144: Canned Fruit
Xu Lan thought about the current situation of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but she was not polite to Cheng Xi, accepted Cheng Xi's five taels, and added another five taels herself, and secretly gave them to Ma together.
Ma always thought about taking his daughter's money, although he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't refuse because of the actual situation, Ma was a shrewd person, and he secretly hid the money when he got it and didn't let Xu Wenqiang know, but he didn't need Cheng Xi to remind him.
When Xu Wenqiang went to the Grange first, he could take it out to treat the eldest daughter-in-law, although the eldest daughter-in-law is now sick and has poor bones, and she hasn't even given birth to Da Lang, but in the end, it was the sin of the Xu family that made Da Lang's daughter-in-law fall ill.
When Cheng Xi and the others went back, Xu Wenqiang couldn't wait to pack up his things, saying that he would go with Cheng Xi and them today, and then the group went back to Lihua Village.
After going back to Lihua Village, Cheng Xi arranged Xu Wenqiang to the Grange the next day, and Xu Wenqiang also happily became the general manager of the Grange.
Then the other fruits in the orchard began to ripen in turn, pears, oranges, oranges, Cheng Xi made them into cans and put them in the warehouse.
Because it is a little far away from the county seat, Cheng Xi goes to the county seat less, and only occasionally goes to Cheng's house to see her father, and the Cheng family has more than enough fortune in the county, so she doesn't have to worry.
The Xu family also stopped very much, probably because of Cheng Fang's collusion with Li Blind to frame Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang, and Xu Wenyu has no news, so he didn't dare to make trouble with her again, Cheng Xi was happy, and stopped and lived her little life in Lihua Village comfortably, and she didn't bother to settle accounts with Cheng Fang, anyway, she planned to stay in Lihua Village in the future, far away from Shiqiao Village.
It's a pity that Xu Sanlang, there is no news at all, now every time Cheng Xi goes to the county seat, he has to go to that yard to have a look, but no matter how many times he goes, the result is the same, no one.
In the blink of an eye, this year is about to end again, and it looks like the New Year is coming, I heard that this year's New Year, the Cheng family in Fucheng will come back for the New Year, but Xu Sanlang has no news at all.
Years ago, Cheng Xi and Xu Lan went to the county town to prepare New Year's goods, in the past, Cheng Dagui intended to let Cheng Xi stay in the county seat to celebrate the New Year with them, even if he took the 100-year-old he agreed, but Cheng Xi still wanted to nest in Lihua Village and celebrate the New Year with the 100-year-old, but it was a pity that Xu Sanlang was missing, in the end they were a family.
A few years ago, Xu Dalang's family also moved from Xiangmu Village to Lihua Village, and went directly to the Grange, there was a house on the Grange, Cheng Xi had already asked people to go over to help Xu Wenqiang clean it up together, Xu Dalang and they could move in directly.
This Xu Sanlang's uncle Xu Wenqiang made Cheng Xi a little surprised, since he came to Lihua Village and went to the Grange to be the chief manager, he has always been helping the tenant farmers with the autumn harvest, and he didn't make a little moth, so Cheng Xi is of course very happy.
Yu Zhaocai completely broke off the relationship with his father in Fucheng, and basically did not communicate, so he also planned to stay in Anyang County during the New Year, and it happened that all kinds of canned fruits in Cheng Xi's hands could also be sold.
And Yu Zhaocai knows some people in the county, and there is really no shortage of money, as soon as he heard that Yu Zhaocai has such good things in his hands, he is willing to spend money, buy a jar and go back to try, after eating, he feels that there is more of a different taste than fresh fruits, and he is even more willing to do the New Year, so he moved to his home one by one.
Originally, Cheng Xi was still worried that this kimchi jar was so big, it would not be easy to sell at that time, but it could be divided and sold, the container was a problem, and it was originally a sealed jar, and once it was opened, it wouldn't last long.
I don't want to sell it out, it's not like that at all, people are buying a few jars and a few jars, I heard that as long as you don't open it, you can still put it, and you are going to give it away as a gift, but it's a rarity.
Yu Zhaocai even attracted a big customer, who directly bought all the canned fruits on Cheng Xi's hand and pulled them away, planning to ship them to several nearby county towns and towns to resell them to make a difference.
In less than the Chinese New Year, so many jars at home were sold out, plus it was a rarity, Yu Zhaocai found buyers who were people with identity or family background, and the price was not cheap, Cheng Xi and Yu Zhaocai made a lot of money, originally just thinking about Cheng Xi tossing casually, and didn't think about Yu Zhaocai, who could make money, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, only saying that he would expand next year, collect all the fruits in this village, and then make canned food and sell them in various places, and he will definitely make a lot of money.
The canned food business was over, and Yu Zhaocai heard that Cheng Xi and the others were going to stay in Lihua Village for the New Year, so he brought the crescent moon and a few people to live in Zhuangzi a few years ago, planning to celebrate the New Year with Cheng Xi and them.
Zhuangzi also has a share of more Zhaocai, of course Cheng Xi will not object, on the contrary, he is quite happy, and they come over with more than Zhaocai, but it is more lively, but the only regret is that Xu Sanlang did not come back.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a year and a half since Xu Saburo left, but there is no news at all.
After the Spring Festival, the spring begins, and the people who farm the land are going to start busy with spring ploughing, Cheng Xi's grange is not going to continue to be rented to tenant farmers to plant, but the land is let Xu Wenqiang's father and son plough it out, but what to plant Cheng Xi is still tinkering with her plan, seeing that other people's seedlings are beginning to bubble out, their grange is still bare and there is nothing.
At this time, not only Xu Dalang, but even Xu Wenqiang began to be anxious, such a good land, but it was empty and didn't plant anything, isn't this a waste of land?
When Xu Wenqiang and Xu Dalang took turns urging me don't know how many times, Cheng Xi finally went to the grange by himself, this grange is dry land, most of them are planted with corn, and corn in this area is the staple food, with a high survival rate and high yield.
According to Cheng Xi's understanding, corn is the grain with the largest yield, the most planted, and cheap in the week, mainly because corn is suitable for various terrains and climates.
Cheng Xi has already thought about it, if this grange is also planted with corn, the income should not be large, she thought before buying the land, to find a way to grow vegetables in winter, only this land is so big, her greenhouse greenhouse planting wants to achieve a wide range of realization, it will definitely not be possible for a while, but it can be planted with wheat and beans, and then make all kinds of pastries after harvesting, maybe you can open a pastry factory, which is much more profitable than planting corn.
After going to the grange, Cheng Xi asked Xu Wenqiang and his son to plant wheat and various beans in the field, leaving a few acres of land, and Cheng Xi planned to try her greenhouse planting.
Xu Wenqiang's father and son are both veterans of farming, and the two heard that Cheng Xi wanted to plant wheat, although the yield of wheat they planted here was not high, but after all, it was also a staple food, in the end, there was no objection, I only heard Cheng Xi say that he would plant so many beans, but he was a little disagreeable, that thing can't be used as a staple food when it is planted, and it can only be sold when the time comes, but what should I do if I can't sell it if I plant too much and smash it at home?
Only Cheng Xi was simply, and the two of them had to give up after persuading them for a long time to no avail, and listened to Cheng Xi's going to Zhang Luo to plant.
Cheng Xi began to rack her brains to think about her greenhouse planting, what materials are used for this greenhouse? Cheng Xi doesn't have to think about this transparent plastic paper, there is no backwardness here, although she has used a lot of things of that material, but she really doesn't know how to make that thing.
But with what? It is best to keep warm at night and allow the greenhouse to receive sunlight during the day.
After thinking about it, Cheng Xi saw the thatched roofs of some poor farmers, so he thought of an idea, but he didn't know if it would be successful, thinking that it would not be too much, and if not, he would not waste too much energy, so he planned to use thatch to make two greenhouses first.
The thatched walls are made into living walls, which can be moved at any time, erected at night, and removed when the sun is shining.
The orchard was handed over to Wang Bo, an old fruit farmer, to take care of, and Cheng Xi didn't have to worry about it, Cheng Xi took Xiong Daxiong to soak in the grange every day to study and build a greenhouse, so that the days passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to be summer.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Cheng Xi's upside-down greenhouse is almost formed, and it finally stops, but the whole person is tanned again, Cheng Xi himself doesn't feel ugly, healthy wheat color, but every time other people look at it, they will say a few words, so that Cheng Xi will not go to the field to toss.
As soon as the greenhouse stopped, the orchard began to be busy again, last year I missed the cherry ripening season, today Cheng Xi is not going to miss it anyway, this canned cherry is made, but it is the most delicious, and the cherry ripening season is very short, plus the bad is very fast, there are no cherries in many places, I am afraid that I have never eaten it.
This thing is definitely more profitable than other canned fruits, so everyone began to get busy, because the cherry ripening season is too short, Cheng Xi found a lot of people, and even found Yu Zhaocai to get a lot of people in the county to help, and it must be done in the cherry ripening cycle.
After being busy for almost half a month, not only did she make canned cherries from her own orchard, but the villagers of Lihua Village who had cherries at home also collected them, and Cheng Xi also said that in the future, as long as their fruits were processed and sent over according to her requirements, she would collect them, and the price was higher than that sold outside.
Now as long as the villagers of Lihua Village see Cheng Xi and the people on their side, it will be like seeing the God of Wealth, and they can't wait to make offerings.
Of course, Xu Wenqiang also received such treatment, it may be that his vanity has been satisfied, now Xu Wenqiang is smiling all day long, and he works very hard, of course, Cheng Xi will not treat them badly, everyone has a monthly salary, and the salary is not low, their family is also living a very comfortable life in the orchard, Xu Dalang looks like Cheng Xi is not like Cheng Xi when he first saw him, he looked malnourished and yellow-skinned, although he was still tanned, but he was in good spirits.
