BXBX NOVEL Chapter 200: Fruiting saplings
In April, Song Xi distributed two grape seedlings, two orange seedlings, and two grapefruit seedlings to each student for them to take home.
Let parents plant and manage well. If managed properly, there will be no shortage of fruit to eat in the future, and they can take out what they can\'t finish to exchange for things.
In mid-April, Song Xi\'s acre of broad beans planted in the sandy land was irrigated with Lingquan water, and the yield exceeded 800 catties.
Song Xi distributed five catties to each student, which removed two hundred catties and left six hundred catties. Song Xi asked the village head to distribute two catties to each household, and kept the remaining thirty catties for herself.
Potatoes are generally harvested in May, but Song Xi has watered them with diluted spiritual spring water, so in mid-April, two acres of potatoes in the village and one acre of potatoes in the school can be harvested.
Uncle Qian arranged for people to collect the two acres of potatoes in the village, while Song Xi took the students to collect the potatoes from the school.
Potatoes have an astonishing yield. Two acres in the village harvested 30,000 catties, and one mu in the school harvested 10,000 catties. It can be said that anyone who participated in the potato harvest was shocked.
But no one announced the matter, and the potatoes were put into storage directly after they were collected.
Because many families would grow potatoes in their private plots to fill their stomachs, Qian Weimin did not arrange for someone to divide the potatoes, but asked Wu Zhuhua to call Song Xi over.
"Xiaoxi, do you have any opinion on these potatoes?" Qian Weimin didn\'t want to sell these potatoes cheaply. This year\'s potatoes are big and plump, with smooth skin, and there is no problem at all. They can be sold for a few cents a catty. Will bleed.
"Uncle Qian, do you remember the taste of the potato cakes and potato **** I gave you years ago?" Song Xi raised his brows confidently.
Qian Weimin nodded again and again, "I remember, I remember, it\'s really delicious, and now our family can\'t forget it!" Afterwards, Qian Weimin responded, "Xiaoxi, you don\'t know..."
Song Xi nodded firmly, "Uncle Qian, you can\'t do private business now, but you can do it under the name of a collective. I want Uncle Qian to apply for the establishment of a small workshop. I will hand over the recipe and method of potato cakes and potato **** to the village. Collectively, and then recruit a few aunts who are good at cooking, and everyone will make potato cakes and potato **** together. At that time, it will be fine to send them to supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores or grocery stores. Potatoes can only be sold for a few cents a catty. We If processed in this way, it can be sold for as little as 50 cents, and people in the city have a high income, even if they sell it for one yuan per catty, there are many people who are willing to buy it."
Not only Qian Weimin\'s eyes lit up, but also the eyes of several other village cadres. The accountant was very excited, "Village chief, I think the method Song Xi said is feasible."
Although Wu Zhuhua was happy, she also had her own worries, so she directly expressed her worries, "This shouldn\'t last long, right? If people in other villages find out that potatoes can be made so much money by processing them, they will definitely Take our business."
"It\'s normal to rob business. No matter what, someone will rob business. Besides, it\'s not called robbing. We can do potato business, and so can others. Just like that garment factory, there are people all over the country. If you have a garment factory, you won’t let others do it if you do it. Isn’t this an industry monopoly? But we can find a way in terms of quality and taste. As long as what we make is better than others’, no one can take it away. Our business."
The potatoes in Ping\'an Village are all watered with spiritual spring water. No matter in terms of taste or taste, they are not comparable to ordinary potatoes. Even if others grab the business for a while, so what?
It won\'t last long.
Fearing that everyone would keep struggling with this, Song Xi hurriedly said, "However, there must be no way to **** them in the past two years, because we can use the price one cent higher than the market price to collect potatoes from other villages, or we can buy potatoes from other villages. We can sign a cooperation agreement with other villages, so that they will give priority to selling potatoes to our Pingan Village every year in the future."
"Xiaoxi..." Qian Weimin was like enlightened, his mind became clear in an instant, and he knew what to do. He looked at the little girl sitting in front of him, and he was really excited. He really hoped that she was his own. My child, this brain is spinning too fast. With her here, why is Ping\'an Village underdeveloped?
"Xiaoxi, leave these matters to us old guys. You can teach the students with peace of mind. After the arrangements are made, I will call you to teach everyone how to make potato cakes and potato balls."
Qian Weimin was so excited that he wished to go to the commune to report this matter now. Because Ping\'an Village was very remote and very poor, the people in the commune had a nonchalant attitude towards Ping\'an Village.
They find ways to increase the income of the villagers, and the commune will definitely agree.
"Uncle Qian, I agreed before that planting vines and vines would not delay the planting of spring corn and sweet potatoes. Now the output of vines and vines has been good. If I ruin it and plant corn and sweet potatoes, it will really be a bit of a loss..."
"Xiaoxi, don\'t worry about it. We won\'t destroy the vines and vegetable fields. We will find another place to grow sweet potatoes and corn. We want food and money." Qian Weimin assured.
The vines and vines are so profitable now, they can\'t destroy them. Besides, the village opened up so much wasteland a few years ago. Although it has no nutrients, it can be poured with more farmyard manure.
"Uncle Qian, I still need a few more mountains. I want to take the children to plant fruit trees. At that time, the fruit trees can also bring in income for everyone. If they can\'t bring in income, they can be distributed to everyone for food. No matter how bad they are, they can be cut down. If it is used as firewood, it will never be wasted."
Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of grapefruit trees one meter high in the supermarket, Song Xi had a headache. He never thought that twenty-five grapefruits would grow so many fruit trees, and he didn\'t know how many mountains were needed to plant them all.
"You can use whichever mountain you like, but you must pay attention to safety." Qian Weimin said grandly. Now Song Xi\'s image in his mind is comparable to that of a god, but now he is not allowed to engage in feudal superstition, so He couldn\'t say such a thing.
"Then thank you Uncle Qian, I will definitely work hard to create more income for Ping\'an Village." Song Xi bowed slightly to Qian Weimin, then turned and left the village.
Next, Qian Weimin and several village cadres started to work for the small workshop, and Wu Zhuhua also went to tidy up the big dining hall and arrange the next things.
Song Xi planted broad beans, potatoes, and pumpkins on the school\'s three acres of sandy land. Now that the broad beans and potatoes have been harvested, he must hurry up to plant watermelons.
Planting watermelons is generally carried out in spring. Early-maturing varieties are planted in mid-March, and they will mature in early and mid-July.
