Chapter 308: Doing a Bad Business
An ordinary pumpkin can only pull out one or two hundred pumpkin seeds, while a multi-seeded pumpkin can pull out more than three thousand seeds.
This difference is not a little bit, but more than ten times!
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Multi-seed pumpkin is a special variety of fruit-producing varieties, and the melon has less flesh, so ordinary people can't plant it, so they definitely can't buy it." ”
Jiang Xiaofeng thought about it, farmers grow pumpkins to eat, who will plant the kind of melons with more seeds and less meat.
"Then it's too good for us to buy pumpkins like this."
Jiang Xiaofeng said with a painful face.
Jiang Xiaofeng said: "Let's finish harvesting the pumpkins in Yangshu Village first!" ”
Seeing that the eldest brother said this, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't say anything more and continued to collect pumpkins.
There are more than 200 households in Yangshu Village, and the brothers were busy until the afternoon, collecting a total of nearly 300,000 catties of pumpkins, spending 5,417 yuan and 8 cents, and getting less than 4,000 catties of wet pumpkin seeds.
Wait for the pumpkin seeds to dry, up to 2,000 catties.
In this way, the cost of pumpkin seeds alone is nearly three yuan a catty.
In this era, who would spend three yuan to buy a pound of pumpkin seeds to eat?
On the way back to the city, Jiang Xiaofeng was worried and said, "Brother, this business is estimated to be a loss!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect this to be the case, and the decision to collect pumpkin seeds was a bit hasty.
"When you go back to the factory, dry the pumpkin seeds, what will happen later, I'll think about it again." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Good!"
Jiang Xiaofeng agreed, not in a good mood.
When Jiang Xiaobai returned to his father-in-law's house, Lin Dawei had already returned, and asked with concern, "How is the pumpkin harvest today?" ”
However, in order to support his son-in-law's work, he has already sent a notice to the township cadres of each township to notify the village cadres to count the pumpkin harvest in the farmers' homes.
Liu Yiting and Lin Jiayin also looked at Jiang Xiaobai expectantly.
Jiang Xiaobai said the situation with a wry smile.
"So, the pumpkin can't be harvested anymore?"
Lin Dawei was stunned for a moment and asked with some disappointment.
Jiang Xiaobai saw the disappointment on his father-in-law's face, groaned slightly, and said, "Since you have started, you should continue to accept it!" ”
Lin Jiayin said: "The cost of pumpkin seeds is too high, and it will not be sold at all, and a village in Yangshu Village will cost more than 5,000 yuan, and if it is collected in the whole county, it will cost hundreds of thousands!" ”
When Liu Yiting heard that she was going to lose hundreds of thousands, she immediately said: "Xiaobai, don't take it because of your father-in-law, knowing that you don't make money." ”
Lin Dawei also said: "Yes, you don't need to be like this. ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not do a loss-making business." ”
Lin Dawei, Liu Yiting and Lin Jiayin all looked at him in surprise.
Everyone has an account in their hearts.
If you continue to harvest pumpkins under this situation, you can only collect more and lose more.
Lin Dawei frowned and said, "Are you going to reduce the price?" ”
Pumpkins in the vegetable market are sold for 2 cents a catty, but the farmer's pumpkins can't be sold, even if they are 1 penny a catty, some people sell them.
For farmers, although the price is cheaper, it is better to be able to get back a little money more or less than to eat it all the time.
But even if the price is reduced to 1 cent a catty, the cost of pumpkin seeds is still as high as more than a penny a catty.
At this price, it is still difficult to sell.
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "If you don't reduce the price, it's still 2 cents a catty, so you won't harm the interests of farmers in order to make money!" ”
Lin Dawei was stunned.
Jiang Xiaobai had such an idea, which made him look up at this son-in-law again.
Liu Yiting and Lin Jiayin were also stunned, they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Xiaobai's gourd?
"If the price is not reduced, the cost of pumpkin seeds will be three yuan a catty, can you still sell the fried pumpkin seeds for four yuan a catty?" Lin Jiayin said in a deep voice.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly: "How is it possible! ”
"And what do you do?" Lin Jiayin feels that this is simply a dead loop, and there is no solution at all.
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "There are always more ways than difficulties, when we encounter difficulties, we can't think about giving up first, or reduce our own losses by losing the interests of others, but we should find a way out from ourselves." ”
"I've figured out a solution, but it's a little more troublesome."
"I'll have to wait a few days before I can harvest the pumpkins again."
Jiang Xiaobai's words made Lin Dawei happy, this son-in-law is just not ordinary.
"What do you think?"
Lin Dawei and Lin Jiayin asked in unison.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Today, when you collect pumpkins in Yangshu Village, as long as you have pumpkin seeds, you won't be like this when you harvest pumpkins in the future, and you will take back all the pumpkins." ”
Yes?
That's it?
Lin Dawei and the others thought that Jiang Xiaobai had thought of some good way, but they didn't expect to just take back the whole pumpkin.
Lin Jiayin said: "The melon seed factory can fry pumpkin seeds, what do you want so much pumpkin meat for?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "In fact, people often fall into the dead end of thinking, who said that the melon seed factory can only fry melon seeds, I can also make cakes." ”
"Do...... Cake? ”
Lin Jiayin exclaimed, "What kind of cakes do you make?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Of course it is pumpkin cake made of pumpkin meat, but it may not be easy to sell by this name, I know that there is a kind of cake called wife cake in Guangzhou, and the pumpkin cake we make in the future will be called wife cake!" ”
"Well, it's called Nanpai Wife Cake!"
"Or call it Lao Nanren's wife cake!"
Jiang Xiaobai is quite satisfied with these two names.
Lin Dawei, Liu Yiting and Lin Jiayin are almost messy in the wind, what the hell is "wife cake"?
It's vulgar!
"Making pumpkin pie is an idea, but the question is can you sell it?" Lin Dawei asked.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "There are no products that can't be sold, only people who can't sell products." Dad, don't worry, pumpkin pie is guaranteed to make money in my hands. ”
Lin Dawei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this.
I also sighed in my heart, it's still a son-in-law who is powerful, he can't do anything about it, but it's not a matter in the hands of his son-in-law!
"If you want to set up a cake factory, you need me to give you any support, just say."
Lin Dawei was happy and said briskly.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "The cake factory is slowly built next to the melon seed factory, and now the pumpkin harvested can be made into pumpkin cake in the melon seed factory, with a crushing machine and a cake press." ”
Lin Dawei said: "I'll solve the machine for you, and I'll get it for you as quickly as possible." ”
"Thank you, Dad!"
Lin Dawei said with a smile: "If you want to say thank you, I also thank you, you insist on not reducing the price to harvest pumpkins, but you have solved a big problem for the farmers in the county." ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, and didn't care too much about it.
Lin Jiayin was still not very relieved, and asked worriedly: "How are you going to sell those pumpkin pies?" ”
How do you sell pumpkin pie?
Jiang Xiaobai already had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Wife, don't worry, you will definitely be able to sell well!" ”
