596, new refugees
Next, the group began to discuss the distribution of watermelons harvested this year.
More than 1,000 watermelons, even if each family is divided into one, it is completely affordable, after all, it is the first time to harvest watermelons in the village, and except for the Song family, the people in the village have basically never eaten watermelons, and they don't even know what watermelons taste like.
How could the base allow this to happen?
In the future, a large number of watermelons will be planted in the village, and it has even been made clear that watermelons will be sold to the outside world, and maybe watermelons will become a major industry of the base in the future.
And as the origin of growing watermelons, wouldn't it be ridiculous if people knew that there were still people in the base who didn't even know what watermelon tasted like?
What's more, the current base does not lack this thing, but what is more scarce is manpower, and only the more manpower invested, can more industries be promoted.
Therefore, for today's base, manpower is one of the most valuable resources.
Besides, if you take the family as a unit, the current base is less than 300 households, and even if there are more than 300 watermelons, there are still more than 700 watermelons.
Secondly, another 200 watermelons were reserved as materials for the exchange of work, so that the villagers still had the opportunity to eat more watermelons with the skills of each family, which was also an incentive in disguise.
That's it, there are more than 500 watermelons in the name of the base, and you can still earn a considerable amount of income by buying this amount.
For ordinary people, it may be a little unaffordable to buy a whole watermelon directly, but if it is cut and sold by pieces, then everyone has a chance to taste it.
Especially in the hot summer, this watermelon can relieve the heat and heat, how refreshing it is to eat a bite, and there will be no worries about no one buying it.
**
The next day, the village committee began to distribute watermelons to every household in the village, and selected watermelons that were relatively large so that everyone could eat more.
At the same time, a redemption notice was posted in the compound of the village committee, and the whole village was extremely lively for a while.
Xia Ning also summoned Li San back as soon as possible, this watermelon that had just been harvested from the ground, of course, had to be sold while it was fresh.
"The first batch you can try to take fifty watermelons to try, it's best to cut a watermelon for those big families to taste, don't be reluctant, as the saying goes, reluctant children can't trap wolves, as long as they taste it, they will know if this thing is good."
Our watermelon can be regarded as the only one in the whole Dongchu, as long as they have tasted it, they don't need us to sell it too much, those people will take the initiative to buy it. ”
Xia Ning began to pass on modern marketing tips to them again, this time, they plan to start selling watermelons from the rich households in the county and town, first make them a wave of money, and then slowly sell to the people, with the rich families in front of the fame, they are also more acceptable.
"Okay, we remember." Li San listened very carefully, without a trace of impatience, this is all previous experience for him, what he learned is what he earned.
He is now more and more proud of being a base person, their base is really too powerful, which one is not a good thing?
Let's just talk about this watermelon, I used to be afraid that I couldn't eat it even if I was rich.
But now the base can allow ordinary people to eat such a rare and high-priced fruit.
This is all achieved by the base to help the general public, and he is deeply proud.
It took two days for the base to arrange the watermelons outside the village, and after every household ate the watermelons, the base began to arrange for the villagers to plant the second wave of watermelons non-stop.
I really don't want to waste any time.
After all, the village committee still wants to try to plant four crops of watermelons in the future, and this year is also an experiment, so they naturally have to plan their time well.
This watermelon can be divided into three varieties: early ripening, medium ripening and late ripening, early ripening is sown in March and harvested in June and July, while mid-ripening is sown in May and June, and harvested in mid to late August, so the village committee will be so anxious, for fear of missing the best time for sowing.
Late-maturing varieties are sown in July and harvested around September.
But if you still want to sow the fourth crop of watermelon, then you have to worry more, in December at the end of the year or January of the following year, you can sow seedlings through the greenhouse planting method, and you can pick them in late March, which is the greenhouse watermelon in early spring.
Just when the villagers in Baiyun Village were busy planting watermelons, the base ushered in new people after a long absence, and it has been about two or three months since the last time they received new residents.
It is also the longest interval since the base received newcomers.
As soon as she coincidentally, she reported the news to her own lady, and her young lady could not go out, but she couldn't not know what was happening at the base.
"Finally a newcomer, how many people are there this time?"
Hearing the news, Xia Ning was also very happy, if there was no new blood to join the base, she was worried that the village committee would send someone out to promote herself.
With the planning and development of the base, no matter how many people join, there will not be too many.
Qiaoxin estimated, "I think there are quite a lot of people in the team, there should be more than 200 people." ”
"Let's take a look." Xia Ning got up and walked out.
It's been a long time since there are newcomers in the village, and she's curious where all the people who came this time come from?
Soon the two of them came to the compound of the village committee, and at this time the empty dam in the courtyard was already full of people, and the clothes and faces of everyone were not much different from the refugees who fled the disaster in Shaanzhou before.
However, although they are dressed a little tattered and sloppy, they are inevitably able to flee, and it will even be safer this way.
But their spirits are better than those of the refugees before them.
Xia Ning stayed silently at the back of the crowd and listened for a while, gathering some information from their conversation.
It turned out that they had fled from Ju Village, Guanzhou, and the reason why they came to Baiyun Village was also the news that the people of Shaanzhou who happened to have fled to Guanzhou knew the news.
Xia Ning and the others had rescued a lot of people who had fled in Shaanzhou before, but in the end, not everyone would choose to go to Baiyun Village, because they still had relatives to take refuge in.
Under such a choice, they naturally prioritized familiar relatives and friends, after all, Baiyun Village was a completely unfamiliar place to them.
However, although they did not choose to go to Baiyun Village with them, they were also grateful to Baiyun Village and learned that there was such a place where they could accept poor people for free.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that not long after they settled down in Guanzhou, the accident happened again!
There was a drought in a large area of Guanzhou, and from the beginning of early spring to May, not a drop of rain fell, and the villagers stubbornly relied on spring sowing, and then relied on river water and well water to reluctantly water the fields.
But even so, it only lasted until May, and the villagers reluctantly harvested everything in the fields in advance, because there were really no more people to water it, and people still had to live on water.
Seeing this situation, the Shaanzhou people who had fled had experience, and immediately encouraged the villagers to flee as soon as possible, otherwise they would die of thirst when they waited for the future.
In addition, the people of Shaanzhou deliberately publicized the goodness of Baiyun Village, so there was a defection of this group of people.
Happy weekend~
