Chapter 3 Selling Corn I
Remnant thoughts...
I have been busy for more than half a month, ploughing the ground, sowing, watering, harvesting, and repeatedly. Let Liu Xiaoyu enjoy the benefits of exercising while tired, the original fat figure, although it is not bodybuilding after more than half a month of fatigue, but it is also presentable. Fortunately, there is no sun in the space, otherwise it would really be facing the loess north into the sky like the legend. At this time, Liu Xiaoyu deeply realized the true meaning of hard work in Chinese food.
Uncle Farmer is great。。。。。。
In the past half a month, Liu Xiaoyu has not only planted corn, but also planted common crops such as radish, potatoes, and tomatoes, and even bought some common fresh ginseng on Taobao. Not to mention, the more expensive the product sold in reality, the more expensive it is sold in the space, no, when Liu Xiaoyu planted fresh ginseng for the first time, only 2 realistic days passed, and the system prompted that it could be harvested.
Some people who can't figure out why ginseng has a shorter harvest period than corn Liu Xiaoyu consulted the system, and the explanation given by the system is because Liu Xiaoyu planted not ginseng seeds, but fresh people, 60 days of farm space just let these fresh ginseng seeds recover and grow to a basic mature state, and if you plant ginseng seeds, it takes ten years of farm space to mature, of course, the quality of ginseng grown by these two methods is not the same.
After inquiring about the system, I learned that because the current farm grade is primary, the quality of the crops temporarily planted is all primary, and varieties like ginseng can not be picked and sold when they are ripe, but continue to be planted, so that the longer the year, the higher the quality of ginseng, and the higher the price of the same sale.
Even so, when Liu Xiaoyu harvested 6 freshly ripe ginseng and sold it, he found that it could be sold for a high price of 30 gold, and each ginseng could be exchanged for 5 gold on average.
The initial excitement was defeated by the cruel reality, 1 point of energy needs 100 gold to exchange, 100 energy points need 10,000 gold, and planting corn and other common crops generally require 50~100 days of farm space, that is, 2 to 3 days of real space, and each income is 10 to 50 gold. No, after more than half a month of hard work, it is only 10 energy points plus 24 gold that has only been accumulated.
Liu Xiaoyu, who was devastated by the blow, asked the system and learned that the accumulation of energy points is indeed troublesome, but the use of energy is indeed convenient and durable.
No, after knowing that it would take at least half a year to accumulate 100 energy points, Liu Xiaoyu began to try to use energy to do something.
For example, using energy instead of artificial planting. Not to mention, don't underestimate this energy point, to really durable, from turning the soil to harvesting and then selling this whole set of processes, a little energy point can actually be cāo 10 times, for example, according to the planting of red ginseng, every 2 realistic days (that is, 60 farm days) can be matured and sold, a power point can be used for 20 real days. That is, ginseng is harvested ten times, and each ginseng can be sold for 5 gold per harvest. Because the cultivation of ginseng requires that only one can be planted in each field, six pieces of land are six, and ten times is 300 gold, which is 3 energy points. Make sure you don't lose money.
The energy points are just as durable when used for cashing and further processing. For every 10 cubic meters of something sent out of or into space, only 1 energy point is needed at a time. If only 1 cubic meter is sent in or out, 1 energy point can be sent in or out 10 times.
The deep processing of products is relatively more expensive. For every 1,000 kilograms of crops, one energy point is consumed. According to the calculation that 500 kilograms of corn can be harvested at a time and sold for 15 gold, the energy points consumed by deep processing of corn per 1,000 kilograms need to be sold for more than 3,000 kilograms to earn back. However, ginseng, which is valuable and lightweight, is the most affordable for deep processing.
After more than half a month, I finally figured out the use of space and energy temporarily. After spending thousands of dollars, bringing in 60 red ginseng of good quality into the space, and consuming 1 point of energy to host it to the system, Liu Xiaoyu can finally relax for a while.
Before the typhoon passed, although it was already late September, Nanjing's big furnace showed its fire-like enthusiasm. The heat of 35 to 40 degrees makes people not want to leave the air-conditioned room at all.
During this time, the banknotes could only go in and out, which made Liu Xiaoyu feel sad. Some time ago, my colleague Zhang Shun had already replied, saying that now their fields and lands are basically owned, and it is not easy to do it, it is not impossible to get it, but the cost is a bit big. After hearing the news, Liu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just said that he would turn to that friend who didn't exist.
At present, the space is basically on orbit, and the question is how to make money for yourself.
In the space, there are some crops that are not sold, such as tomatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., which are all left by Liu Xiaoyu as a souvenir. Not much of each. Originally, I was going to save it to a certain extent, and then exchange it to the real space to let myself have a good time, so that I could also eat what I planted.
Looking at the things in the space, Liu Xiaoyu fell into the thought of how to make these liquids.
At present, in addition to ordinary vegetables in the market, corn is the best to sell, and Liu Xiaoyu also asked about the price of about 3.8 pounds when he bought vegetables last time. If it is sold at 3 yuan a catty, it should not be sold. Cashing out 500 kilograms is 1,000 catties, which is about 3,000 yuan of income. You can try it.
It's better to think than to do. After the system harvested red ginseng once, Liu Xiaoyu planted corn in the space again. More than 500 kg of corn was harvested after 2.5 days. Fifty kilograms of a hemp bag, Liu Xiaoyu first cashed in a sack plus two fresh red ginseng, don't you say that it is managed by the system, the energy cost is worth it, these two red ginseng even the tiniest roots are intact.
The corn is going to be taken to the vegetable market next to the community to sell it. Red ginseng took a photo with a digital camera and sent it to the Taobao online store, anyway, try it if there is one, and specifically indicate that it needs to be traded in person, so it is the safest for buyers.
Of course, these two red ginsengs were just for taking pictures, so I didn't really want to sell them, so I went to the supermarket and bought two large jars of sorghum wine, and threw one into one jar, ready to send it to my father and an uncle who had a good relationship.
The vegetable market next to the community is divided into two parts, and the east one is just a morning market, and basically there are no stalls until noon. The other piece in the west is a stall that sells vegetables all day long. Because the morning market is relatively early, those managers have not yet come to work, so there are many old grandfathers and old people who take the vegetables they grow or sell to sell. They usually sell until 9 o'clock, and when the farmer's market caretaker goes to work, they are also flashy. Because there is no management fee and no stall fee, their food is relatively cheaper.
At five o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiaoyu, who deliberately "dressed up", wore a mask, carried the bag of corn on his right shoulder, and carried a small bag full of change. In his left hand, he carried a newly purchased electronic scale and a grocery bag he had bought at the farmer's market the day before. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyu often goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and knows that he does not use ordinary plastic bags now, but must use special plastic bags provided by the farmers' market. According to the news, selling vegetables in such plastic bags will not be driven away by the market administrator.
Although it was five o'clock, but it was early in the summer morning, and when Liu Xiaoyu arrived at the morning market, he found that although there were fewer people buying vegetables, there were already many people selling vegetables, so he found a not very conspicuous position to put down the scales and plastic bags, untied the bundled corn bags, poured out some of them on the ground, and then also made a piece of waste newspaper and spread it on the ground. Start waiting for business to come to your door.
After the initial nervousness and excitement were over, Liu Xiaoyu looked around. There are all kinds of seasonal vegetables and vegetables, and there are all kinds of meat, fish and shrimp sold in the fixed stalls in those vegetable fields, which is really rich. I suddenly found that I forgot to get a small signboard indicating the price, but I have never sold vegetables before, and I am inexperienced. Fortunately, most retail vegetable sellers do not have such small signs.
With the loss of time, more and more people are buying vegetables, and the vegetable market, which is not very quiet, is even more noisy, and a few high-pitched shouts are heard from time to time.
Because Liu Xiaoyu's corn is not peeled and eared. Therefore, when selling, you need to remove the skin on the outside of the corn, and then remove the ears of corn before you can weigh it. When there was no business, Liu Xiaoyu peeled and eared the corn one by one, and stacked it neatly. My stomach, which had not eaten in the morning, was a little hungry, so I took a piece of corn and nibbled it raw. I remember when I bought the seeds, the sales staff of the seed company said that this kind of corn can be eaten green, that is, gnawed raw.
I don't know if I don't eat it, I never thought that corn was so delicious when eaten raw, although it didn't have the glutinous texture of cooked corn, but the fresh and sweet taste immediately conquered the stomach that had not eaten breakfast.
Although it was a little strange why this young man selling corn was wearing a mask, the corn that was 8 cents a pound lower than the market quickly attracted the attention of vegetable buyers. I have to say that the things grown in the space are good, Liu Xiaoyu vaguely remembers that he bought a corn seed called Su Nuo No. 1, the corn kernels of rǔ white sè make people eat yù when they look at it, and the grains are full and not like other people's corn, there is no corn kernel on the head that needs to be cut off. And the body shape is larger than the average corn. As for the worm eye or anything, there must not be one.
It can also be regarded as an unintentional willow insertion, and the attractive appearance of the corn rǔ white coupled with Liu Xiaoyu's posture of gnawing on life attracted two old people who knew that they were going to take some food home after morning exercise.
The first business is about to begin.
