Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 254

After some detailed inquiries, Xu An and others learned that Li Yanfu's mother was able to grow more than 20 shabu-shabu plants, purely because of 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 full one or two seeds on this small wasteland in one go.
The follow-up care is the same as that of ordinary peppers. It should be watered and fertilized. How it grows depends on luck. After all, Li Yanfu is the only one in the family. A few plants can grow enough for Li Yanfu to consume.

Knowing the truth, Xu An was a little dumbfounded, so the secret to planting shabu-shabu is to have a lot of seeds. After sowing, will you look at those few seeds to reward your face?
But this is also considered good news, just like a human sea tactic, with enough seeds, several plants can always grow.

While Xu An and the others were lamenting the primitiveness of this method, Li Sixin pulled Li Yanfu to ask for specific details.

For example, what is the germination rate of seeds, how many grow into seedlings, how many grow into plants, etc. A series of questions made Li Yanfu feel dizzy and let him go.

Perhaps it was because Li Sixin had asked Xu An to buy the green prickly ash pepper grown in the village in the afternoon, so Xu An paid extra attention when eating, thinking about the popularity and sales volume of these things in the outside world.

Just like rice in a bowl, he ate one meal last night and two meals at noon. Before that, Xu An just felt that the rice tasted delicious.

But now when we use the sales method and think from the customer's point of view, we can't help but analyze the aroma, appearance and taste of the rice.
When the chopsticks pick up the mushrooms picked by hand, the brain will think about how long the mushrooms can be stored and whether they can be transported to Haishi.
Xu An felt that he was in a daze in this state, probably because the words Li Sixin said at the top of the mountain had too much stamina.

"Auntie, there is quite a lot of rain this year, have you counted how many mushrooms you have picked?" Li Sixin chatted while eating.

"I didn't think about it. I picked a lot, but it's not easy to sell. It's too far from here. I don't want bad-looking, older, and injured ones. I can only bring them back and dry them at home. Eat." Li Yanfu's mother said with emotion: "It would be great if the road to the city is open. If there is some kind of express in the city, it can travel all over the country in a day or two, so it is not afraid of bad things." It's gone!"

"It's really difficult to build roads. Our village's hard indicators are not up to standard." Li Sixin said intentionally or unintentionally: "The indicators and requirements are quite reasonable. After all, it costs a lot of money to build roads. It's just that the conditions in our village are not good enough. I guess It's going to have to wait a few years."

"It would be great if we could wait a few years!" Li Yanfu's mother didn't feel disappointed when she heard this, on the contrary she was quite happy.

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

"The hard indicator is our theory, but it is actually more flexible in application." Li Sixin seemed to have a draft in mind, and immediately gave examples to everyone.

"For example, in Liuyakou in the next town, their village relies on forests for their livelihood. The reason that restricts them from poverty is the winding mountain road, muddy road, winding and winding, with a deep ditch on one side and a steep mountain on the other. One-way roads are fine. The vehicles on the road are basically all kinds of trucks and engineering vehicles. It takes half an hour to get out of the short ten-kilometer journey. As long as a road is built for them and the trees can be transported smoothly, they can get rid of poverty. The road needs to be repaired, immediately."

"Then if we have a road here, mushrooms, vegetables and fruits can be transported out, and we can also get rid of poverty!" Li Yanfu was not convinced when he heard this.

"It's different. It's like those fungi in the mountains. They are picked only half a year from late March to mid-October. Our village's harvest may not exceed three hundred catties a day, and there are many traffickers. Door-to-door purchases, the remaining miscellaneous fungus add up to a hundred catties, vegetables and fruits can’t be sold here, and it’s a bit too extravagant to build a road specially. There are many villages that need road construction more than our village! "

What Li Sixin said made Li Yanfu speechless. Although he was still not convinced, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only paw at the rice sullenly.

Xu An guessed that these words were all for himself, but he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Secretary Li, what kind of hard targets does Hezibao need to achieve if he wants to build roads?"

"Firstly, there must be an industry, a pillar industry that allows the villagers to have a stable income; secondly, the per capita net income of the villagers is expected to exceed the poverty line; thirdly, as long as the road is open, the above two conditions can be met , then it can be immediately included in the consideration of the index, and the government will give priority to it after getting the road construction index.”

Speaking of this, Li Sixin paused, smiled and said to Xu An: "If Hezibao can reach a plantation acquisition cooperation with Boss Xu, this hard target has basically been reached."

The topic has already been discussed above, and Li Sixin didn't intend to expose it directly, but instead asked directly: "Boss Xu, you've seen Auntie's ghost, and I don't know if you think it's suitable. Can we reach a cooperation?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanfu's mother found a lame excuse, holding the bowl and chopsticks, dragged Li Yanfu away from the dinner table, and left the room to Li Sixin and Xu An.

Can we reach a cooperation with Hezibao?

The answer is yes.

But when the cooperation will start, this is another unknown.

It is now mid-to-late September, and the villagers on the Hezibao side have all put on their coats, and the daytime temperature hovers around [-] degrees.By the end of October, the temperature will drop to about ten degrees Celsius, officially entering the winter phase.

In this climate, it is difficult to cultivate even ordinary peppers, let alone the more demanding shabu-shabu peppers.
If you want to plant successfully in winter, you need a greenhouse. Even if it is the most common kind, the cost of an acre of land will cost [-] to [-]. The villagers of Hezibao add food and drink, and their annual income is only about [-]. .
Seedlings should be raised as early as February next year, sowed in March, and harvested in May and June.That is to cooperate, and we have to wait until February and March next year, when the villagers will officially plant shabu shabu.

"Secretary Li, it's late September now"

Late September?

Late September!

Hearing this time, Li Sixin also came to his senses, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, he was counting thousands of times, and he missed the timing!

Yes, it's late September now!
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Xu An and Li Sixin looked at each other, and I looked at you.

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 fruits and vegetables, as long as they are planted in the greenhouse, they can grow and produce all year round. Spicy Shabu should not be an exception.

The most serious situation is that the survival rate is already low, and it can be lowered by a few points, but it is better than waiting until May and June next year to harvest.

Greenhouse planting has many advantages, but it also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, it is expensive.

The cost of an ordinary greenhouse is between 1.8 and 2 per mu of land, and the cost of a greenhouse is directly doubled.Considering the winter temperature here in Hezibao, greenhouses are essential, but the villagers in Hezibao earn less than [-] yuan a year.
This means that the villagers need to go without food or drink for four or five years before they can spend the money to build greenhouses.

Even if Xu An’s purchase price for shabu shabu is as high as 62 yuan a catty, it will have to produce 1000 to [-] catties of shabu shabu, and more than [-] catties of dry shabu shabu to cover the expenditure .
It is not impossible for Hezibao to copy the model of Xujia Village, but Xujia Village has few people and is united, so it can make a decision so readily, raise funds, and lease the tidal flat; there are [-] households in Hezibao , Just to convince them, it will probably take several months. By then, winter will have come, and the construction will not be easy.
"Auntie Li, why are you standing at the door of your house for dinner today? Everyone is chatting about the two young bosses from Haishi in the Ditang, why don't you come and join in the fun?"

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

"Haha, no, no, there are only two mouthfuls of rice in the bowl, so let's go and join in the fun." Li Yanfu's mother refused and showed the villagers what little food was left in the bowl.

Seeing this situation, the villagers didn't continue to persuade them. They turned around and were about to walk towards the underground hall, but just as they stepped forward, they seemed to have thought of something, and strode sideways towards this side, asking loudly as they walked.

"Auntie Li, the two bosses in Haishi have been in touch with you a lot. Do you know that they don't want other things besides ghosts? For example, the dry goods we dry, rice and brown rice, etc., are all good. .”

Halfway along the road, halfway through the conversation, the villager caught Xu An and Li Sixin sitting in the room out of the corner of his eye, and immediately froze in place, in a dilemma.

"Aha. Haha. Well, we haven't asked about it, and we don't know. If we have a chance, we will ask for everyone, ask, hahaha!" Li Yanfu's mother took this topic extremely bluntly, and resolved the problem in front of her eyes. embarrassing situation.

The villagers pretended not to see Xu An and the others, babbled a few random words, and then fled away with their rice bowls in their hands.

Everything that happened outside was captured in Xu An's eyes, and the conversation was heard clearly. A small fragment of memory before departure came to Xu An's mind.

It was the night before departure, and Aunt He called suddenly, asking if there was still the food bag given to them in the afternoon, and whether it was for sale. The children in the family liked it very much after drinking it, and some old friends were also very interested in it. Want to buy some.

But Xu An only received a total of 24 catties of dry goods. Excluding some brown rice, green peppercorns, etc., the miscellaneous mushrooms were less than [-] catties.I gave some to the employees, some from the villagers, and some from my partners, but I only had two or three catties left in my hands, so I directly refused.

But now, there is demand in Haishi, and Hezibao can supply it, so it is not a problem for me and Uncle Dongliang to bring some back.
Or, just bring some for them and act as a purchasing agent?Can it also increase the income of the villagers here?
"Secretary Li, if I want several tens of kilograms of dried mushrooms, can Hezibao get them?"

Following Xu An's inquiry, the deadlocked atmosphere in the room eased instantly, and Li Sixin patted his chest to pack the ticket and said, "Don't talk about a few dozen catties, even if you want a few hundred catties, it's not a problem, and it's all for this year." New goods, definitely not mixed with old goods."

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

"no problem."
