Chapter 96: The Most Popular Man in the Village
Wang Fengqin couldn't believe that the tattered grain in this yard had a way out, and it could be exchanged for money?
Her legs went limp, and she almost sat on the ground.
Xu Zhinian stretched out his hand to support her and said, "Aunt Zhang, the past is over, we still have to look forward, does this relationship still have to be handled?" Five cents is not much, but it's the highest price I can give..."
"Okay, okay, five points is five points, then don't regret it." Wang Fengqin told again and again. After making sure that Xu Zhinian was not joking with her, he sent her away with great gratitude.
When she returned to the courtyard, her tears couldn't be stopped, and she grabbed Zhang Youfang's arm and said, "Look at it, we have wronged Baoya before, we are all like this, she is sending charcoal in the snow!" ”
Wang Fengqin told Zhang Youfang about the purchase of grain that Xu Zhinian told her from beginning to end, and several neighbors around praised her.
"Hey, these broken grains will definitely not be sold, and they will be smashed in their hands! People are willing to help you clean up the battlefield at this time, this is your benefactor! ”
"That's right, Xu Baoya has a good heart, not only did people not watch the excitement, but also cleaned up out of their own pockets, if they can't sell it, they will lose their money!"
Zhang Youfang was silent, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see anything wrong for a while.
One thing is certain, he has to get rid of these things quickly, otherwise, he won't even have basic living expenses.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Zhinian came to Zhang Youfang's house as promised, counted all the grain, and asked him to find a donkey cart to transport it to the town.
Along the way, Zhang Youfang asked vigorously where the grain could be sent, but Xu Zhinian just went around and refused to tell him the truth.
After Zhang Youfang left, Xu Zhinian went to find Li Xiangyang and pulled all the grain to Xiangyang Grain and Oil Store in one go.
When she was chatting before, she heard Li Xiangyang say that bad food is also useful.
Li Xiangyang has introduced, there are three directions, the first big one, screen out a little better, can be sent to the farm to make feed, a pound can be sold for six to seven points, and a little worse, can be sent to the distillery to make bulk high liquor, a pound is sold for three or four cents, the last dross, really can't be saved, you can also ferment it, make organic fertilizer.
This fertilizer is very sought-after in the south, the south has a developed economy, a warm climate, two crops a year or three crops in two years, at the same time, the southerners have invented greenhouse planting, so the demand for organic fertilizers is also very large.
Don't look at the most inferior grain, but once it is made into organic fertilizer, the selling price can be directly doubled.
Therefore, Xu Zhinian did not lose money on the tattered grain he received from Zhangyoufang at a low price, and he made a small profit through Li Xiangyang.
Xu Zhinian was not greedy for this money, but left all the profits to Li Xiangyang, and he only needed the capital of the acquisition - at this time, what is more important than money is a good reputation.
When he returned to the village again, Xu Zhinian's image in the eyes of the villagers was much taller.
When she passed the big locust tree by the well, several old ladies gave her a thumbs up.
"Oh, this girl from the old Xu family is amazing, she has a way to deal with all the rags at a young age!"
"It's not just capable, people have good eyes, if she hadn't made a move, Zhang Youfang's family would have been completely finished."
"That's it, the previous Zhang Yujiao was ruthless and pushed Xu Baoya into the ice cave, Xu Baoya is called revenge with virtue."
"Isn't it, Zhang Youfang intervened when people were collecting grain, and almost made the family unable to complete the task, and now they have to count on other people's treasures to clean up the mess for them!"
These praises and feelings, Xu Zhinian smiled with peace of mind.
She just wants such a good name so that she can move on to the next step.
In the next few days, except for my mother, the whole family returned to the village to help with the farming, and my grandparents couldn't stay idle, getting up early every day to do what they could in the fields.
This is the first time their family planted peanuts, all of them crossed the river by feeling the stones, fortunately, Xu Zhinian had the foresight to ask for a knowledge manual for planting peanuts at the agricultural technology station in the town, and the planting process went very smoothly.
Xu Zhinian is the heart of the whole family, although he grew up in the countryside, he has never touched farm tools from childhood to adulthood, and this time it is the same, Xu Zhinian's job is to deliver water and food.
On this day, after delivering lunch, Xu Zhinian began to visit the door.
With the good reputation accumulated in the past few days, plus the fermentation of these days, she can now walk sideways in the village.
She came directly to the house of the fourth master, Xu Changqing.
Seeing the "most popular person in the village" secretly selected by the villagers, Xu Changqing was also happy and polite when he saw Xu Zhinian.
"Four masters, I'll get straight to the point, you may have heard that our family planted four red peanuts this year, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen acres of land in our village suitable for planting peanuts, I want you to help us walk around, find a few more households, and plant peanuts with our family."
When Xu Changqing heard this, he frowned: "Baoya, aren't you embarrassed?" You must know that our brigade has a public grain task every year, and the main harvest of this public grain is corn, sorghum and soybeans. ”
"I have already thought about the problem of public grain, and I will make up for the shortfall."
"What? You're going to make it up? Your family has already gone to plant peanuts, what can you make up for! ”
Xu Zhinian knew that Xu Changqing must have reacted like this, and said patiently: "Fourth master, as expected, this corn sorghum will still have a bumper yield this year, and the two villages next door are planting it, there must be a surplus, when the time comes, spend some money to collect it from them and hand it over in the team." ”
After hearing this, Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing twice, looked Xu Zhinian up and down, and said: "You girl, you really don't know the price of firewood and rice, isn't your business a loss-making business?" If you don't have enough public food, go to the next village to buy it? Then you can't grow it yourself! Why do you need to take the land to grow peanuts? ”
"My good four masters, you don't know, this peanut is not an ordinary peanut, it is to be used to extract oil, peanuts are planted and harvested, and there is no need to worry about sales! If the price doesn't satisfy me, can I take the whole family to plant? ”
"Huh? What do you mean......" Xu Changqing seemed to understand a little, scratched his head and said: "Could it be that the profit of this peanut is very high, enough to make up for the gap in public grain?" ”
"Of course, the corn sorghum we planted because of the bumper yield, the price can not be lower, and peanuts are now crazy to rise in price, a shot is several times the profit, if you are not at ease, I can sign an agreement with all the villagers who promised to plant peanuts, as long as they plant successfully, the quality is acceptable, when the time comes, I will collect as much as I want, and the price can be set now."
Xu Changqing was shocked, he couldn't answer for a long time, and the person sitting in front of him was obviously a delicate and shy little girl, how could he feel like he was doing hundreds of millions of big business as soon as he opened his mouth.
Even if he has lived for most of his life and is an old village chief, in terms of temperament, he is unconsciously three points shorter than Xu Zhinian.
