The couple had a secret meeting at home, and they were interested in the production of this willow handicraft.

Why?

Because, when Harbin Changhe Square opened last year, they saw that there were willow handicrafts, and the price was not cheap.

If you have your own wicker products, wouldn't it make money?

Lu Changhua thought of the beauty in his heart, and asked Wang Yao to call the group's financial center, prepare 5 million for Changshui Farm, and make the payment tomorrow morning.

And he himself went out, and he went to find out the situation with the old king.

At this time, there are no good vegetables in the garden.

Only the cabbage and potatoes were confiscated.

The old men didn't have much to do these days, and they took a day in the adobe house and finished their work.

I was surprised to see the big boss coming.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Lao Wang didn't see his boss a few times a year.

The owner of the vegetable garden is not here either.

"I'll come and see you."

Lu Changhua looked at these old guys happily.

The old men are all retired.

But I can't live at home.

Besides, working in the vegetable garden is not tiring, they are like technicians, and when they have a job, they can find a few small workers and they can guide them.

As soon as Lu Changhua stepped in the house, he saw several earthen baskets stacked in the corner.

He walked over and took a look.

This is made of wicker, which is used for daily work to pick up soil and carry dung.

In the middle, a thumb-sized basket beam is worn, tied together with hemp rope or thin wire at the bottom.

This stuff is very common on farms.

"Uncle Wang, did you make up this basket?"

"yes. We didn't have much to do, so we went to the reservoir to cut some wicker and made it ourselves. Isn't it necessary to use vegetables and dung picking? ”

"You're so skillful."

"I want to ask, do you make anything else?"

"What? Something else? What's the news? ”

"Weaving boxes, baskets, sugar boxes or something?"

"Uh......"

Several people looked at each other and slowly shook their heads.

"You want to make this thing up and sell it?"

The old king asked with a frown.

"Yes, there is this idea."

"Hehe, oops, this thing is not simple."

"Isn't it easy? What's not easy? ”

"Boss, you don't know the doorway here."

The old king leaned back in his chair.

Reaching out and grabbing a handful in the chimney basket, he twisted out a piece of the child's homework paper and rolled up the dry tobacco.

"So, there's a university question here?"

Seeing this, Lu Changhua knew that he had taken it for granted.

The other old men nodded their heads as well.

"It's not easy."

"That's it, there's a doorway!"

When the old king's head spewed out a puff of choking old man's smoke, he clicked his lips and said, "You, it's not the Tao." It's not the same as making this basket. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The raw materials are different."

The old king got up and brought a basket of earth.

Pointing to the wicker strips on the basket, he said, "Our earthen basket is made of willow strips." This kind of sliver is a bit brittle and breaks easily. If you make a basket, you can use it for a year or two, and it will break. ”

"The thing you mentioned, another kind of wicker they use, is called wolfberry."

"That thing has to be grown separately. It only grows one, there are no forks, and the skin is thin and white, and the side things are beautiful when they are dried. The important thing is that the wolfberry willow is capricious, not easy to break, and it is good to color! ”

When Lu Changhua was told by Lao Wangtou, his excitement immediately calmed down.

"How can there be such a wicker?"

"It should work, but you'll have to look for it."

"If you had this kind of willow, would you make it up?"

"Me? Hehe, I can't do it, I haven't made this thing up for many years. ”

The old king's cloudy eyes revealed a look of regret.

His words made Lu Changhua's heart half cold.

Now he knew that the wicker used for willow weaving was not the same thing as the willow tree he planted.

He still took it for granted that it was easy.

Now he has neither raw materials nor technology.

It seems that this idea is good, but it is not easy to realize!

Bidding farewell to the old king, Lu Changhua came back dejected.

Wang Yao was about to call him to eat, and when he saw Lu Changhua coming back, he said, "Don't go out, eat." ”

"Hey."

He agreed, poured half a basin of hot water, washed his face, and then went to look for the child.

Nuomi and Sheng Yu were called back from Hu's house, and they washed their faces and hands.

Meals were also served.

During the meal, Wang Yao saw that Lu Changhua was a little sullen, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Was it okay just now?! ”

"It's nothing, it's the willow weaving thing, it's not what we imagined."

"What's that?"

Wang Yao asked.

Lao Lu and Lu's mother were also curious.

"I thought the wicker used for willow weaving was the kind grown by our reservoir, but it turned out to be two different things."

"It is a specialized wicker variety, called wolfberry."

"yes, I've seen that."

Old Lu accosted.

"Huh? Dad, have you seen it? ”

Lu Changhua asked curiously.

"Isn't that okay? When I was younger, I went to Tiger Forest, and I saw it over there. ”

"What does it look like?"

"That's not a willow like us. The roots are so deep that they can penetrate more than a meter deep. There was a wicker on it. It's so tall! ”

Lao Lu blinked and recalled, "It's almost two meters." ”

"Grow so tall?"

Wang Yao was taken aback.

"Not only does it grow tall, but it also straightens up, and there is no bend in the middle."

"What's that kind of thing?"

"Oh, I heard that we used to plant it here, but it didn't seem to work out."

Old Lu glanced at his son.

"What's the matter? Do you want to grow this thing? ”

"Isn't this the leader of the farm, we talked about the development of the farm, and talked about the development of willow handicrafts. At the time, I thought it would be simple, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated. ”

Seeing that his son was worried about this matter, Lao Lu smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is complicated and complicated, and simple and simple. ”

"Old man, don't talk nonsense, my son is worried."

Lu's mother complained.

"Dad, what do you say?"

When Lu Changhua saw his father like this, he knew that there was a turning point.

"The key is to find the right person."

"Who are you looking for?"

"The forestry of our farm is under the control of the forestry station, you can just ask."

"That's right!"

Lu Changhua slapped his thigh, "Dad, Jiang is still old and spicy!" I'll go to the field tomorrow and ask. ”

Wang Yao said: "Did you say Li Wei and they would have asked a long time ago?" ”

"It's possible."

Lu Changhua said with a smile: "However, I am afraid that they are more worried about tomorrow's borrowing." There's a good chance they're not in the mood to ask about it today. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Early the next morning, Wang Yao went to work in Bac Ninh, and Lu Changhua drove his father's car to the field department.

Old Lou's Santana is basically used for fishing, and this year the water is big, so they stop playing cards at home.

The car didn't drive much.

His license plate was also unattended.

When Lu Changhua arrived at the forestry station, it was only nine o'clock in the morning.

The Forestry Station is a marginalized unit in the farm units.

There is no real power, and there is no oil and water.

In the past, timber inspection stations were set up in both the second branch and the field.

There was still a bit of power at that time.

Now, every year, they raise some saplings in the nursery, and then plan the reforestation plan, etc.

As soon as Lu Changhua entered the courtyard, he found it deserted.

There was no one in the yard and no one in the office.

The doors were all open, and there was nothing to steal anyway.

He was standing in the hallway not knowing where to look for someone when someone turned in outside.

Still a woman.

The figure is a little bloated, but the face is still attractive.

When she saw Lu Changhua standing in the corridor and looking around, she asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'd like to ask something."

"What's the matter?"

She walked in with a nonchalant expression, and as soon as she entered the office, she picked up a thermos and poured boiling water into her cup.

didn't even look at Lu Changhua.

Picked up the phone and called.

"Hey, isn't the meeting over yet? When will you come back? I still have something to do, I won't wait for you, there's something really going on at noon! ”

The woman finally finished chatting on the phone, and when she saw Lu Changhua standing at the door, she asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I'm looking for a technician."

"What are you looking for a technician for?"

"I want to ask if the willow can be planted, do we have this variety?"

"Willow? Haven't heard of it. ”

Lu Changhua wanted to ask again, but people turned their heads to read the newspaper and ignored him.

Lu Changhua didn't ask about the situation, but got angry.

He walked away with a grunt.

"Hey, daughter-in-law, no one is here at the forestry station today, just a woman, good guy, I don't know what to ask."

Seeing that Changhua was angry, Wang Yao enlightened: "Why don't you come to Bac Ninh?" I'm going to give you a good luck? ”

"Come on, I'd like to go to the Authority and ask, they will know, right?"

"You, sometimes it's Hutu, isn't it the same when you go to the city to ask, there is a leader to speak, who dares not to receive you?"

"Oops! I forgot about it. ”

Lu Changhua's mood improved again.

"Then you wait for me, I'll come."

He drove the car to Bac Ninh.

Although he knew that it would be easier to inquire in the city, Lu Changhua still went to the management bureau first.

went directly to the bureau and found Zhao Huai'an, who was working.

When the old man saw that it was Lu Changhua, he was stunned at first.

"Yo, Xiao Lu, why do you have time to come to my office?"

"I'm here today, it's really something."

Lu Changhua said his thoughts.

There is no need for him to hide it with Zhao Huai'an, after all, he is his own relative.

"Oh, that's the case, I'll call and ask."

He called directly to the Forestry Research Institute of the Management Bureau.

After a while, he put down the phone and said with a smile: "The wolfberry willow used to be planted in our place, but it didn't develop later. ”

"The main reason is that the demand on our side is not high."

"Isn't it impossible to plant?"

"It's not. There are some special means for planting and marketing, and they can still be planted. ”

"That's good, do they still have seedlings?"

"Nope."

These words made Lu Changhua a little disappointed.

An important reason why Lu Changhua wants to engage in willow weaving is that he wants to drive the people in his hometown.

He figured it out last night.

Each willow only grows one wicker, so it needs a lot of planting.

In this way, the workers were changed from simply planting grain to planting a part of the willow, and this willow weaving factory was purchased in a unified manner.

Make up handicrafts and sell them, and there will be profits.

It's also an industry.

In recent years, the company + farmer model has become very popular.

Wicker weaving is also in this pattern.

Besides, Lu Changhua has his own shopping mall, and there is also a place for sales, this is a dragon.

It would be even better if you could export to earn foreign exchange.
