After some detailed inquiry, Xu An and others learned that Li Yanfu's mother was able to grow so many more than 20 shabu-shabu plants, purely by quantity.

She had planted it in the yard before, and knew that the survival rate of this thing was low, so when she planted it again, she sowed a whole tael of seeds on this little wasteland in one go

The follow-up will be treated like ordinary peppers, it should be watered, fertilized and fertilized, and what it grows depends on luck, after all, Li Yanfu is good at home, and it is enough for Li Yanfu to consume it if it can grow into a few plants.

Xu An, who knew the truth, couldn't laugh or cry, so the secret of planting shabu is to have a lot of seeds, and after sowing them, look at those seeds to appreciate your face?

But this is also good news, just like a crowd tactic, there are enough seeds to grow into a few.

When Xu An and the others were lamenting the primitive degree of this planting method, Li Sixin pulled Li Yanfu to ask for specific details.

For example, a series of questions such as what is the germination rate of seeds, how many seedlings grow, how many plants grow, and so on, made Li Yanfu dizzy and let him go.

Maybe it was because in the afternoon, Li Sixin said that Xu An would buy the green peppercorns grown in the village, Xu An paid special attention to it when he ate, thinking about the popularity and sales of these things in the outside world.

It's like rice in a bowl, I ate one meal last night and two meals at noon, before that, Xu An just felt that this rice tasted delicious.

But now, when you think about it from the customer's point of view in a sales way, you can't help but analyze the aroma, the look, and the taste of the rice.

When the chopsticks pick up the mushroom, the mind will think about how long the mushroom will be preserved and whether it can be transported to the market.

Xu An felt that he was a little stunned in this state, and it was estimated that the words Li Sixin said when he was on the top of the mountain were too powerful.

"Auntie, it's raining a lot this year, have you counted how many mushrooms you've collected?" Li Sixin chatted while eating.

"I haven't counted it, I picked a lot, but it didn't sell well. It's too far to go out here, and you don't want any bad looks, old looks, or injuries, so you can only bring them back to dry them and eat them at home. Li Yanfu's mother said with emotion: "If only this was the road to the city, it would be good, there is a kind of express delivery in the city, and it can run all over the country in a day or two, then I am not afraid of breaking it!" ”

"It's really hard to build roads, and the hard indicators in our village are not up to standard." Li Sixin said intentionally or unintentionally: "The index requirements are quite reasonable, after all, it costs a lot of money to build roads, but the conditions in our village are a little worse, and it is estimated that it will take a few years to do it." ”

"It would be nice if it would have been a few years long!" Li Yanfu's mother did not feel disappointed when she heard this, but was quite happy.

This topic should have ended here, but Li Yanfu glanced at Xu An quickly, and then asked, "Secretary Li, what are the hard indicators you are talking about?" ”

"Hard indicators are one of our statements, and they are actually more flexible in application." Li Sixin seemed to have a draft in his heart, and immediately gave everyone an example.

"For example, Liuyakou in the next town, their village is living on forests, and the reason that restricts them from getting out of poverty is that winding mountain road, muddy dirt road, winding and circling, with deep ditches on one side and steep mountains on the other, one-way streets, the vehicles coming and going on this road are basically all kinds of trucks and engineering vehicles, and they have to drive for half an hour to get out of a short distance of ten kilometers, as long as they build a road and let the trees be transported smoothly, they can get out of poverty, then this road must be repaired, and it will be repaired immediately."

"Then if there is a road on our side, mushrooms, vegetables and fruits can be transported, and we can also get rid of poverty!" Li Yanfu was a little unconvinced when he heard this.

"This is different, just like those fungi in the mountains, basically from late March to mid-October this half a year to pick, our village's daily harvest may not exceed three hundred catties, and there are many dealers to buy, the remaining miscellaneous fungi add up to a hundred catties, vegetables and fruits can not be sold at a price, it is a bit too extravagant to build a road, and there are many villages that need to repair roads more than our village!"

Li Sixin's words made Li Yanfu speechless, although he was still not convinced, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only pull the rice sullenly.

Xu An guessed that these words were meant for himself, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Li, what kind of hard indicators do you need to achieve if Hezibao wants to build a road?" ”

"First of all, there must be an industry, a pillar industry that can give the people in the village a stable income; Second, it is expected that the per capita net income of villagers will exceed the poverty line; Third, as long as the road is open and the above two conditions can be met, then it can be immediately included in the scope of consideration of the index, and the government will give priority to it after obtaining the road construction index. ”

Speaking of this, Li Sixin paused for a moment, and said to Xu An with a smile: "If Hezibao can reach a ghostly planting and acquisition cooperation with Boss Xu, this hard indicator will basically be reached." ”

The topic has already been talked about shabu shabu, Li Sixin did not intend to expose it directly, but asked bluntly: "Boss Xu, you have also seen the ghost of the aunt's seed, I don't know if you think it is appropriate, can we reach a cooperation?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanfu's mother found a lame excuse, held the dishes and chopsticks, pulled Li Yanfu out of the dining table, and left the room to Li Sixin and Xu An.

Can you reach a cooperation with Hezibao?

The answer is yes.

But when the collaboration will begin, again it is unknown.

It's mid-to-late September, and the villagers on this side of Hezibao have already put on their coats, and the temperature is hovering around 20 degrees during the day. By late October, the temperature will drop to around 10 degrees Celsius, officially entering the winter phase.

In this climate, it is difficult to successfully cultivate even ordinary chili peppers, let alone shabu-shabu, which is more demanding on the environment

If you want to plant successfully in winter, the greenhouse is indispensable, even if it is the most ordinary kind, the cost of one acre of land has to be 10,000 or 20,000 Hezibao villagers plus eating, drinking and Lasa, and the annual income is about 10,000.

Seedlings will be raised as early as February next year, sown in March, and harvested in May and June. That is, to cooperate, we have to wait until February and March next year, when the villagers officially plant shabu-shabu.

"Secretary Li, it's late September now"

Late September?

Late September!

Hearing this time, Li Sixin also reacted, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

yes, it's late September!

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, Xu An and Li Sixin, you look at me, I look at you, their mouths opened and closed, closed and opened, and finally failed to say any words.

Xu An didn't know what Li Sixin was thinking, but when he thought of the current time, he thought of Aunt Hong's greenhouse planting, no matter what kind of vegetables and fruits, as long as they are planted in the greenhouse, they can grow and produce all year round, this shabu should not be an exception.

The worst situation, that is, the already low survival rate, is a few points lower, but it is better than waiting until May or June next year to have a harvest.

There are many advantages of greenhouse planting, but there is also a fatal disadvantage, that is, it is expensive.

For ordinary greenhouses, the cost of one acre of land is between 18,000 and 20,000 yuan, and the cost of greenhouses is directly doubled. In terms of the winter temperature here in Hezibao, greenhouses are indispensable, but the villagers of Hezibao have an annual income of less than 10,000 yuan.

This means that the villagers need to go without food or drink for four or five years before they can come up with the money to build greenhouses.

Even if Xu An's purchase price for shabu shabu is as high as sixty-two yuan a catty, it will have to produce six or seven thousand catties of shabu-shabu, and more than 1,000 catties of dried shabu can be used to settle this expenditure.

It is not impossible for Hezibao to copy the model of Xujia Village, but Xujia Village is still united with few people, so it can make a decision so readily, raise funds, and lease the tidal flat; There are 306 families in Hezibao, and it is estimated that it will take several months just to convince them, and by that time winter has come, and the construction is not easy to construct.

"Aunt Li, why are you standing at the door of your house to eat today, everyone is chatting about the two young bosses from Haishi over there, why don't you go over and join in the fun?"

When a villager who went home to pick up vegetables came out of the house, he saw the mother and son of the Li family standing at the door eating, and immediately warmly beckoned the two of them to go over together to join in the fun.

"Haha, no, no, there are only two mouthfuls of rice in the bowl, so let's join in the fun." Li Yanfu's mother refused while showing the villagers the few leftovers of food in the bowl.

Seeing this, the villagers did not continue to persuade them, and turned around and were about to walk towards the ground hall, but when they had just stepped away, they seemed to think of something, and strode sideways towards this side, asking loudly as they walked.

"Aunt Li, the two bosses of Haishi have had a lot of contact with you, do you know that they have other things besides that ghostly sorrow? For example, the dry goods we dried, the brown rice and so on, are all very good."

Halfway through the road, halfway through the words, the villager's eyes swept to Xu An and Li Sixin, who were sitting in the house, and they were stunned in place, in a dilemma.

"Aha. Haha this, we haven't asked, we don't know, if we have the chance, we'll help everyone ask, ask, hahaha! Li Yanfu's mother took this topic extremely bluntly and resolved the embarrassing situation in front of her.

The villagers pretended not to see Xu An and the others, and after a few nonsense words, they slipped away with their rice bowls.

Everything that happened outside was collected in Xu An's eyes, and the conversation was heard clearly, and a small fragment of memories before departure appeared in Xu An's mind.

It was the night before departure, Aunt He suddenly called and asked if the bag that was given to them in the afternoon was still available, whether it was sold or not, the children in the family liked it very much, and some old friends were also very interested in it and wanted to buy some.

But Xu An also received a total of twenty-four catties of dry goods, except for some brown rice, green peppercorns, etc., and the miscellaneous mushrooms were less than twenty catties. I sent some to the employees, some to the villagers, some to the partners, and I only had two or three catties left in my hand, so I refused directly.

But now, there is demand in Haishi, and Hezibao can supply it here, so it is not a problem for Uncle Dongliang and Dongliang to bring some back

Or, just help them bring some and be a purchasing agent? Can it also give the villagers here an extra income?

"Secretary Li, if I want a few dozen catties of sun-dried mushrooms, can I give them to Hezibao?"

With Xu An's inquiry, the stalemate atmosphere in the room eased instantly, and Li Sixin patted his chest and said: "Don't say dozens of catties, even if you want a few hundred catties, it's not a problem, they are all new goods this year, and they will definitely not be mixed with a little old goods." ”

"Okay, some friends over there like this dry goods, I'll ask them how much they can ask for later, tell the secretary tomorrow, and then trouble the secretary to help you buy some." Xu An said politely.

"No problem."
