Chapter 535: Asking for a Price
"In our pimples, in the autumn, we will go into the low soil bun mountain and cut a few large bundles of wild hazelnut strips, the wild hazelnut tree is the thickness of a finger, one person is high, just this season, a month earlier, can have about two months, every family on our side will get a few bundles back, take them home, and beat them vigorously with a wooden stick, and beat the hazelnut fruit down to dry."
Guo Hong mentioned the life of his parents, and the local accent and local dialect came out, and he used his hands to gesture when he talked about the momentum.
"It's better to be here in the capital, it's a few snows in winter, and you can't go out, and it doesn't affect your normal work, so we can't do it, I have an aunt who lives in a mountain nest, and it snows heavily in winter, so don't want to see them in winter, and we also have a village where every family doesn't go out, so they have to put a batch of food that can be put in the winter."
Jiang Xinyu has a yearning for Guo Hong's hometown like Xinjiang Province, she has been in the ice and snow, but she has never lived the life of "cat winter" that Guo Hong said, and those days may have a lot of inconvenience and dissatisfaction for people who are used to that kind of life, but she is a little yearning.
"How thick is the snow over there in winter?"
Guo Hong gestured and said, "If it lasts for a few days, I will definitely not be able to go out."
"Is that a high hazelnut yield or a high pine nut yield?"
Jiang Xinyu only knows that hazelnuts and pine nuts are delicious, and I don't know if Northeast China is now growing these crops on a small scale to improve the local economy, just like Xinjiang Province.
Guo Hong pondered: "The pine nuts over there are not as easy to get as hazelnuts, so we have to go to the old forest and find the pine forest, the trees are too high, and it is too dangerous to climb up to pick the pine tower, so I took the tied bamboo pole and knocked it down hard. Two bags of pine towers can only peel out a small bag of pine nuts, but it is a rare delicacy. I still remember that year, I went to knock on the pine tower with my uncle's brother, and I was tired enough to choke for a day before I peeled three scoops of pine nuts."
Guo Hong knew that Jiang Xinyu's family was now running a dried fruit shop, and asked, "Do you want to sell our things from the mountains over there?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "Do you think it can be done?"
Guo Hong nodded, "We have more wild hazelnuts over there, this is the time to go to the mountains to cut, that is, there are definitely not many pine nuts, but there are wild walnuts, but the skin is too thick, and the flesh is too little compared to the thin-skinned walnuts you brought back from Xinjiang Province, if you want to get the goods, you can go there to collect them at this time."
Speaking of this, she scratched her head, they were all students of the school, how could Xinyu go to them to receive the goods?
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a moment and asked, "How far is your township from Huan County?"
Ding Changhai's uncle's house is in Huan County.
Guo Hong had heard of Huan County, which was also from their province, but she had never been there, she shook her head, "I can't tell, but it's only a few hours away by car."
Jiang Xinyu originally wanted Guo Hong's relatives to go to Huan County to receive the goods with Ding Changhai to see what the price was, but after thinking about it, she felt that if you talked about the distance between relatives, Ding Changhai seemed to be more reliable than Guo Hong's relatives.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Guo Hong thought about it, "If you want to buy goods, I can call my uncle to ask about the situation, do you think it?"
People helped her, and she wanted to do something for her.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "You help me ask the market price of hazelnuts and pine nuts over there, and I'll pay for the phone bill."
Walnuts don't need to be shipped from such a distant place, the skin is so thick, the taste is the same thing, and the other places are not bad, and the freight is not so expensive.
Ding Changhai is quite reliable, but she still has to inquire about the price of the product, otherwise the cooperation is easy to cause friction.
Guo Hong shook his head and refused: "Just call me and pay for it myself, what's the point of letting you pay for it?"
Jiang Xinyu: "One yard to one yard, you are here to help me."
After school at noon, Guo Hong went to the school communication room to call the hometown post office, and asked the people at the post office to help bring a message to her uncle and ask what the price of hazelnuts is now.
The post office answered the phone at the time, answering this question, "My daughter-in-law only went to Daji yesterday, and there are acorns, walnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts that sell acorns, walnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts, which are not worth much, and can be bought for two catties for five cents, and pecans for two cents and eight cents, and hazelnuts for four cents and nine cents, and pine nuts are about to catch up with the price of meat."
, six cents a catty, these are the ones that can only be sold at the county market, and no one in our township buys them."
"Do we have a big market in the county?"
The operator said: "You didn't watch TV, even 10,000 households came out, and now the county is allowed to set up stalls on Sundays, and the big guys can catch up with the big market, and there are all kinds of sellers, and I heard my daughter-in-law say that there are still people who sell mink."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Hong smashed her mouth, turned her head and smiled at Jiang Xinyu: "Great, we can also do small business over there."
"Just now, the post office operator said that there have been 10,000 households."
Is a 10,000-yuan household a family with 10,000 yuan? Why can you earn 10,000 yuan? She couldn't be happier to save 30 a month, and she couldn't imagine how excited she would be if she had 10,000 yuan. With money, the younger brother can marry a daughter-in-law smoothly, and the younger sisters can go to school well, and there will be no more conflicts in the family.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "I read the newspaper that the person who contracted the pig farm counted all the total assets, and his net worth exceeded 10,000 yuan."
Guo Hong exclaimed: "Raising pigs into 10,000 households? Can you make money raising chickens and ducks?"
A piglet costs two dollars, and it is too troublesome to raise pigs, and a pig raised by her family is thin every year, which cannot meet the standard of first-class pigs.
Jiang Xinyu nodded naturally, "Chickens and ducks are both meat, and the mother can still lay eggs, so she will definitely make money if she raises them."
Guo Hong's brain came alive, "I want to write a letter to my family and give advice to my parents to raise chickens and ducks."
Jiang Xinyu thinks it's good, if she finds a way to make money, she will be much better in the future.
Now at this time, I don't want to do business and make money, and when others fill up the easy road in the future, it's too late.
Guo Hong told Jiang Xinyu the price she had just heard, and said, "I didn't expect pine nuts and hazelnuts to be so valuable, we only need to peel them out when we go into the mountains and get home by ourselves, and we don't need to spend money to buy them."
Jiang Xinyu said: "If it is shipped to the capital and sold, the price will have to be more than doubled, and it will be even more expensive."
Guo Hong nodded thoughtfully, "What about the medicinal herbs? Like wild ginseng?"
Jiang Xinyu doesn't know anything about this, but ginseng is definitely not cheap.
"Ginseng depends on the vintage, the price is definitely not cheap."
Guo Hong held her wrist, her eyes lit up: "My cousin and her grandfather are ginseng pickers, just my aunt's father-in-law, his family lives in the mountains, and my family also has two ginseng sticks from my aunt, one is bigger and the other is slightly smaller, if I tell my father to let him sell it for money, and then raise chickens and ducks, I don't know if it's okay?" Xinyu, if you sell it, will it be possible to sell it in your shop?"
