Chapter Ninety-Three: Selling Vegetables Is Better Than Selling Meat
Compared to the time it takes to harvest vegetables, picking tomatoes and cucumbers is undoubtedly much easier. Although Xu Zhengdao didn't care about the few yuan, it didn't take so many people to pick tomatoes, so he could only pick people from difficult families to take care of them first.
Explain the situation to Sun Jiawang, and this kid also said very brightly: "I know, I'll tell my mother when I get home, and ask her to invite four people to come over and help." Although anyone can do this job, we still choose the help of the poor family. ”
"That's right! Tell your parents what I mean, and I'm sure they'll understand. ”
"Hmmm! If you do this, the big guys will be convinced, and they won't say anything. ”
Some time ago, helping Xu Zhengdao harvest vegetables was really the envy of many women in the village. If you work for two or three hours, you can earn a dollar. In the eyes of many villagers, this money is too easy to make.
But whoever you ask for help is up to the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary. Even women from well-off families want to earn this money. It's a pity that the people who can earn this dollar are all from poor families in the village.
When Sun Jiawang came home and told his father about it, Sun Dazhuang nodded in agreement and said, "Child, don't go tomorrow, let the daughter-in-law of the Li family go." Our family is not short of this dollar, what do you say? ”
"Cheng, Jiawang, sold tomatoes and cucumbers, you and Zhiqiang should be able to share the money, right?"
"Probably can! Mother, didn't you say before that I should take care of the money? ”
"I didn't say what I wanted for the money, I just asked, can't I?"
"Done! You are my mother, you can say anything. ”
From these words, Sun Jiawang could hear more or less that the old lady was still distressed that she couldn't earn that dollar. Thinking about this, Sun Jiawang is also thinking about whether to buy a sewing machine for his wife when he has saved enough money to buy a sewing machine.
Regarding the engagement and marriage, Sun Jiawang, who has often been messing with Xu Zhengdao recently, also feels that there is no need to be too anxious. Now that the world is changing rapidly, he still wants to find a daughter-in-law who is eye-to-eye with him, not a daughter-in-law chosen by his father.
As Xu Zhengdao jokingly said, as long as he learns to manage greenhouses with Liu Zhiqiang, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a daughter-in-law in the future?
Learn this technique, I'm afraid that the matchmaker will break through the threshold of their family. The good girls of ten miles and eight villages, I'm afraid they will be picky. Sun Jiawang, who is not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law, also feels that he can honor his wife first.
There is a sewing machine at home, which can be used not only by the old lady, but also by the two sisters-in-law who are good to him. When people in the city marry their daughters-in-law, they all pay attention to three turns and one ring, and Sun Jiawang also hopes that his own family can also buy these things.
Early the next morning, the four aunts who had come to Xu's house to help harvest vegetables also arrived at Xu's greenhouse on time. They were also amazed to see the tomatoes and cucumbers hanging from the fruit in the shed.
He asked, "How can the tomatoes grown in this shed bear so much fruit?" ”
"Auntie, if you ask me, I'm afraid it's in vain. If you want to ask, I'd like to ask Ah Zheng. However, the tomatoes are easy to manage in the shed, and the fertilizer is sufficient. If it is planted outside, I am afraid that the yield will not be so high. ”
Xu Zhengdao, who also heard the conversation, also said in a timely manner: "Auntie, in this tomato planting shed, it needs to be manually pollinated after flowering. Planted outside, they are pollinated by small animals or bees, so they bear fewer fruits.
In addition, the fertilizer given by my greenhouse is sufficient, and after the tomatoes bloom, I will also pick some excess flowers and cut off some useless branches. If you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid you can talk about it for a long time. When you have time in the future, let Jiawang teach you. ”
"It's done! I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build a shed like this, right? ”
"Indeed! I built a shed this year for experiments. The shed really works until after the snow falls in the winter. After this winter, if there is no problem, then we will strive to expand the scale next year. ”
knows that these aunts from difficult families also have a heart that wants to make money. Although they don't know how much money they can make from a greenhouse, they at least know that the vegetables from the greenhouse must not be cheap.
Looking at the ripe tomatoes picked and put them into the plastic baskets prepared in advance, in order to ensure that there would be no damage during transportation, Xu Zhengdao also specially found some newspapers and straw and spread them in the plastic baskets.
Although he could find foam, Xu Zhengdao didn't feel the need for such trouble. The car that transports these dishes is not a car, but a laborer. As long as the basket is not dropped or thrown, there must be no damage in such a short distance.
When the tomatoes and cucumbers were pulled to the warehouse specially rented by Liu Daneng, he also tasted them unceremoniously when he saw the tomatoes and cucumbers in the basket. After feeling the sweetness and sourness of tomatoes, he knew that the tomatoes tasted really good.
Then he said: "Xiao Wu, you guys wait to ride a bike, and first use a foam box to pull a box over, the price is still the old rule." However, if you buy five catties, you can get one catty free. After all, this thing is more weighed than vegetables. ”
"Okay, master!"
For those old customers who often deal with Liu Daneng, most of them are in a very good situation. For the Chinese people who are accustomed to not revealing their wealth, there are definitely more people who are really worth hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations than imagined.
It's just that some billionaires need to show their financial strength in a high-profile manner. But more billionaires are accustomed to enjoying the pleasures of money in a low-key manner. And right now, there are probably no fewer rich people with a net worth of more than 10,000 yuan in Kyoto.
After tasting the taste of tomatoes and cucumbers, these people are naturally willing to buy a few catties to try it. First, you can eat it yourself, and secondly, you can entertain friends, which I believe is also a very face-saving thing.
Such juicy tomatoes and cucumbers are impossible to find at the farmers' market right now. It is also an extremely face-saving thing to be able to entertain guests with these two vegetarian dishes. Compared with face, what is a few dollars?
As a result, it is clear that boxes of tomatoes and cucumbers have been bought by these old customers one after another. What the apprentices brought back was a bag full of large and small bills. The speed of selling vegetables seems to be much faster than selling meat.
Although the apprentices don't know much about how much their own master can earn by selling these vegetables. But at the end of the month, the salary or dividends paid by the master to them were higher than those used to help sell meat.
It can be seen that the income from selling vegetables is not less than that of selling pork!
Unlike harvesting vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers ripen every two days after they are harvested. Looking at the tomatoes and cucumbers picked one after another, Sun Jiawang and Liu Zhiqiang looked a little reluctant.
asked: "Ah Zheng, after picking these tomatoes and cucumbers, this greenhouse will not grow anything?" ”
"No! Pick the tomatoes and cucumbers, the ground is empty, and add fertilizer to raise for a while. If the land is not raised, the next time it is replanted, it may lead to reduced yield and disease. So, it's best to sit idle for a while. ”
"Oh too! So this year, can only grow one season of greens in each shed? ”
"Not necessarily, the winter in the north is relatively long. Similar to the cabbage and leeks planted before, just calculate the time, and you can still turn the seeds. However, before replanting, it is necessary to supplement the soil with fertilizer to ensure that the soil nutrients are sufficient. ”
Unlike the vegetable greenhouse planting in later generations, farmers often add fertilizer. At this time, Xu Zhengdao added fertilizer to the soil was his own humus fertilizer. In his opinion, the fertility of this natural organic fertilizer is no worse than that of chemical fertilizer.
The important thing is that the vegetables grown are more natural and can be called truly organic. As long as the quality of the vegetables grown is not bad, even if the price is a little higher, I believe that those customers who are not bad for money are willing to continue to buy.
The reason why people are desperate to make money is that they can improve their living conditions with money. For ordinary people, a piece of one-pound vegetables, even if it is sent to the vegetable market, I am afraid that no one will dare to buy it. After all, it's about the same price as pork!
