Chapter 588: Buying Mountain Vegetables
As soon as Ji Tongzhong said this, the mothers-in-law all grinned and didn't bother about this.
"Then your price is too low, isn't it? Three cents a pound, how much money can you earn? ”
"Auntie, don't mess with me as a foreigner, don't think I don't know, you have a lot of wild vegetables here.
I heard that there is a bald sub-mountain here, and the whole mountain is full of big-leaved celery, so you don't need to go, just sit under the root of the mountain.
At this time, the big leaf celery grows tall and weighs the scales, just such a capable person as an aunt, isn't it the same as playing with one or two hundred catties a day?
One hundred catties is thirty yuan, and two hundred catties are sixty.
Auntie, if you earn sixty a day, it will almost catch up with half a month's salary of your uncle.
When I go home at night, my uncle can't give you the water to wash your feet, so you are comfortable? ”
Who is Ji Tongzhong? Can you let a few mothers-in-law fool around? It's okay if he doesn't fool others and make them lame.
Nan Zhendong, who had a black face next to him, was almost amused by Ji Tongzhong's words.
So he coughed twice and tried to hold back his laughter, which was also to let Ji Tongzhong restrain himself a little and stop chatting with a flamboyant tongue.
Nan Zhendong firmly remembered the task assigned to him by his father-in-law, that is, to pay attention to Ji Tongzhong at all times, and not allow him to get too close to any woman.
Originally, Nan Zhendong didn't want to come to Donggang, he had a tendon in his rectum, so he felt that it was good to plant some land at home and raise a few livestock.
Although I earn a lot when I come to Donggang, I have to listen to others, and I am uncomfortable.
A few days ago, when Su Weizhong learned that Xu Shiyan had signed a contract with Dongyi merchants, and Ji Tongzhong was the main force in the purchase of wild vegetables, he was a little breathless.
When he was not at work, he personally returned to the camp and found Nan Zhendong.
I broke it open and crumpled it, and said to my uncle.
Nan Zhendong agreed, followed his father-in-law out, and helped his second brother-in-law Xu Shiyan to do a good job in the business of wild vegetables.
In addition, Su Weizhong also gave Nan Zhendong a secret task, which was to watch Ji Tongzhong.
The main reason is that Ji Tongzhong's face is too attractive, and he can talk to anyone very hot.
Su Weizhong was worried that Ji Tongzhong had to collect vegetables outside for a while, in case he was unclear about which woman he was involved with, what could he do?
Yes, it is impossible to let Ji Tongzhong alone, and he must arrange someone to be with him.
But who else cares about discipline and loyalty? Even if it is Zhao Jianguo, they will not be nosy.
So Su Weizhong asked Nan Zhendong to stare at it.
Ji Tongzhong still respects these brothers-in-law, especially Nan Zhendong has a dark face all day long, and if he doesn't smile, he can scare away those women with ulterior motives.
"Look at it, it's still this young man listening."
A few mothers-in-law made Ji Tongzhong's words quite exciting, so what are you grinding here? Hurry up to the mountain and pick up vegetables.
Shengli Forest Farm is the smallest forest farm on the north line of the Songjiang River Forestry Bureau, and there are only about 100 households.
However, Shengli Forest Farm is close to the Changbai Mountain Reserve, and various forestry resources are abundant.
There are few people and many resources, and you don't need to go too far, there are a lot of wild vegetables.
This season is the interval between timber and forestry production, and forestry workers don't have much to do.
Therefore, many families are a family of two or three together, carrying a basket on their backs to the mountains to pick vegetables.
They are all locals, and they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain and the distribution of wild vegetables, so they naturally know where the wild vegetables are thick.
People with a heart and eye will remember the location, keep it as a secret and don't tell others, and go straight there every year during the wild vegetable season.
Now I learned that Da Yeqin was also purchased, and those big girls, little daughters-in-law, middle-aged women, and half-wives all went up the mountain with dry food.
When you come to the foot of Baldingzi Mountain, just find a random place to squat there, and just stretch out your hand to pick vegetables.
Pick vegetables first, and wait until the basket is almost full for a while, and people are tired and panicked, so they sit down to rest.
When resting, I picked the leaves of the large-leaved celery and tied them up one by one.
This way, you don't have to work hard to clean up after going down the mountain, and you can also reduce the weight by removing the leaves, so you can carry more when you go down.
After a busy day's work, the big back basket is stuffed full, compacted over and over again.
In the end, I walked down the mountain with my back on my back, came to the acquisition point, and went directly to the scale.
At this time, there were few scales, most of them were still large scales, and Ji Tongzhong hired two local boys to help carry the scales.
Ji Tongzhong looked at the scales and kept accounts, Huang Shengkai settled the accounts, and Nan Zhendong paid.
Wild vegetables are time-sensitive, and they can't be asked for when they are old after this price season.
So this time when they came out, the crowd was divided into several groups.
Ji Tongzhong and a few went to Shengli Forest Farm, and Zhao Jianguo, Li Daniu, and Yang Chunsheng went to Qianchuan Forest Farm and Dasuchang Village.
Feng Yue, Feng Yuan's brothers, and Sun Xiaofeng's younger brother Sun Xiaoli went to Ma'anshan and the Trough River Forest Farm.
The wild vegetable resources over there are not as good as Qianchuan and Shengli, and Feng Yue and the others took turns to buy them.
The packed big-leaf celery costs three cents a pound, and Cantonese vegetables cost two cents a pound.
Cantonese cuisine is also required to be about 20 centimeters in height, and there can be no stretching slaps, and the roots are neatly tied up with leather bands.
After these two dishes are purchased, the roots have to be cut off in small pieces and then salted.
At this time period, these two dishes are at the right time, and in a few days, it will be time to get the monkey's legs.
Niu Maoguang and Monkey Leg Vegetables are all dried vegetables, and if there is enough time, there is no such hurry.
Ji Tongzhong and others collected the vegetables in the evening, and hurriedly cut the pickles during the day the next day.
This time, they brought a lot of big white plastic buckets and salt, put the wild vegetables in the buckets one by one, sprinkled a layer of vegetables with a layer of salt, and sent them back to Donggang after saving enough cars.
It just so happened that Su Anying bought the original courtyard of Donggang Hospital, built two rows of sheds, and put the plastic buckets directly into the shed, and then directly sent the car to transport it away after a while.
Su Anying, Huang Shengli and others are not involved in this wild vegetable business, and they are all operated by brothers and relatives of each family.
The company's name is only used to sign the contract, and thirty percent of the money earned is counted as the company's profits, and the remaining seventy percent is shared by Ji Tongzhong and others.
The key is that Huang Shengli and they are too busy, how can they have time to follow along?
It's better to fulfill the brothers of each family, and it can be regarded as finding something for them to do.
Xu Shiyan is even busier, and he received so many orders over there, so he can't hurry up and produce?
When Xu Shiyan decided on the direction of new product research and development last winter, the factory stockpiled a lot of various medicinal materials.
Last year's ginseng was not sold too much to the provincial medicinal material company, and a large part of it was kept for its own research and development of new products.
In ginseng coffee, in fact, the main ingredient is a variety of medicinal materials, although there are also coffee ingredients, but the proportion is not too high.
The coffee needed has been imported from abroad through the relevant departments, which is enough.
Ginseng snow clam honey, snow clams are used in it, which is what the locals call toad oil, which is not difficult.
Xu Shiyan had already suggested to Guo Shouye that the families of the employees of the Forestry Bureau could be encouraged to contract mountain forests and river sections to cultivate forest ginseng and breed toads.
Last autumn, I bought some of it with others, and it is estimated that this autumn, we will be able to receive a large amount of toad oil.
As for the deer antler, there are some on the farm, and soon this year's deer antler velvet should also be cut, and the raw materials are not worried.
