Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 155 Earn more than 1000 per acre of land?
The next day.

Early in the morning, Li Xiangxiang took Fangfang home.

Li Muyang waited until the doctor went to work and paid the fee.

There was more than 200 yuan left in the original money, which was much less than expected.

According to the doctor, if you only continue to maintain it in the hospital for a period of time, the cost will be almost the same for the time being, and there is no need to continue to replenish it.

Li Muyang told the elder sister that if she still needed it, she could wait until he came up next time to hand it over.

He comes up at least once a week anyway.

He told his mother to recover well and told his eldest sister to be careful in everything. With her eldest sister "blaming" his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, he left the hospital and came to a place northwest of Qingcheng.

He remembered that there seemed to be a small medicinal wholesale market in this place.

Mainly purchasing various medicinal herbs from the mountains.

Qingcheng is a small city surrounded by mountains on three sides, so there has always been a market for medicinal materials here.

Because of the climate, the medicinal materials here are not of very rare varieties, and their medicinal effects are not of the best quality, but they are all above quality.

In the early years, especially before 2000, Chinese herbal medicine was also an important source of pocket money for some people nearby.

But at this time, everyone’s ideas were still lagging behind.

They know that medicinal herbs can be sold for money, but they do not regard this kind of thing as their main business. Only occasionally when the farming is slack, or when they have nothing to do in winter, they will go to the mountains to dig some and sell them to the place where they are purchased. .

Because the quantity is very small, the processing is not very good, and it cannot be sold at a good price.

There is no difference between selling eggs on ordinary days.

In the eyes of future generations, since this industry can make money, then if you focus on this path, you can also make a fortune...

But they just don’t want to and can’t figure it out.

They still focus on growing food. They don’t have to do anything, but the land must be planted.

The mountains here are already barren, water resources are scarce, and the climate is unstable. They basically rely on the sky for harvest.

It is impossible to completely turn over and change your destiny by farming.

Therefore, many people here will not be able to save any wealth for several generations, and their lives may get worse and worse.

Take Li Muyang as an example. He actually had the same virtue in his previous life.

One year, due to drought, he missed the wheat planting season, so at the suggestion of others, he planted peppers on less than an acre of land.

It's the big bell pepper.

The kind that can grow up to the size of a volleyball and taste sweet.

It was also sold in supermarkets in later generations.

But the one in the supermarket smells like grass and has no taste.

They are all vegetables from the greenhouse.

The big peppers in the fields taste very sweet and can be eaten as fruit.

Especially after it turns red, cut into shreds and served cold with sugar, the taste is no worse than any other fruit.

In the end, more than 1 kilograms of peppers were harvested from that one acre of land.

At seventy-eight cents per pound, one acre of land can be sold for more than 1000 yuan.

Much better than growing food.

At that time, no one in the village was growing such a thing.

According to general principles, with this experience and benefits, you should continue to work hard, do it for a few more years, and make a profit first.

At least it proves that this path can work.

But Li Muyang refused. When the peppers came down, he immediately restored the land to wheat and never planted it again.

The reason is also very simple. He believes that growing peppers is not a serious job...

This incident can be regarded as a "stain" in Li Muyang's life. When this kind of large pepper became popular in the village, and some families even had their own contracted land, one type was dozens of acres, and they could earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, Li Muyang was talking about He was working on a contract and sighing.

That's another story.

If you look at the predecessors from the perspective of newcomers, you will find that the predecessors were sometimes "stupid".

But actually this is a kind of thinking limit.

Just like many things that I couldn't figure out when I was young, I suddenly realized them when I grew up.

It’s not because I was stupid as a child, but because I had little information resources and limited knowledge, so I had relatively few basic resources that could be used to make decisions.

When I get older, I have more experience and more restrictions, and I gradually become more mature.

From this perspective, sometimes many of the old people’s suggestions are also very useful.

An ordinary person like Li Muyang seems to be very wise just because he has experienced a lifetime and has the bonus of age.

This is the reason.

Following his memory, he took several detours and finally came to the entrance of a compound.

When I arrived, I discovered that the reason why I couldn't find it was because this compound is not called the Medicinal Materials Acquisition Center now, but is called "Old Cross."

It seems to be an old market.

The regional divisions of Qingcheng have undergone many changes. It started as a small town, then gradually became districts, administrative offices, counties, cities, and regions, and then became a prefecture-level city again.

This Old Cross was the office of a township affiliated to it in the early years.

Later, after the village was evacuated, it somehow turned into a herb purchasing center.

The back of the center has been renovated.

This center in Li Muyang's memory has a very ancient charm after renovation, with carved beams and painted buildings, and a large portrait of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, on the main gate.

It's completely different from now.

He was thinking about this last night. Today he is going to take a look at what the drug Red Qi is like, what is the market price, what are the precautions, and what are the differences between different products?
He knew little about herbs.

I can only recognize about a dozen very common medicinal materials.

Things like red qi are already outside of cognition.

Entering the courtyard, I found that it was divided into two floors, a bit like the "brothel" in ancient TV. There were many baskets of medicinal materials placed at the entrance of each shop, and the strong smell of medicinal herbs wafted everywhere.What's even more interesting is that there is almost a "guy" standing at the door of every shop to greet people. Whenever he sees a person dressed as a farmer, he will greet him warmly, and every call from fellow villager is very enthusiastic.

Just wanted to ask if there was anything good for sale.

For things like medicinal herbs, wild ones are definitely much more effective than artificially cultivated ones.

Li Muyang didn't know anything else, but he knew about Astragalus.

Due to the high demand for this product, the tree farm's nursery was planning to open a medicinal field in the past and wanted to study artificial cultivation.

As a result, things can be grown, but the effects of medicine are completely inferior.

In the end, it can only be sold at a cabbage price.

The nursery also fell into disrepair.

Wild astragalus and artificially grown astragalus are not only different in appearance and color, but also in taste.

And it is said that when it comes to herbs, sometimes what is important is not just the herb itself, but where it grows.

Herbs grown in different places have different trace elements.

In some places the medicine works well, in other places it is completely useless.

Therefore, unlike other industries that generally exclude people who are poorly dressed, this is not the case in places where medicinal materials are purchased.

The more someone dresses like this, the more likely he is to bring good things.

and so……

Instead, Li Muyang was left out.

He wandered around for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

Probably because he is dressed more neatly now, and he doesn't look like a simple mountain man who can sell medicinal herbs.

People really look at clothes.

He had no choice but to take the initiative to inquire, but after asking several stores, he found that every store sold red qi.

Suddenly I was a little confused.

I wanted to ask more carefully, but they didn't want to say anything more.

It wasn't until I got to the second floor that I got the answer from an old man wearing reading glasses, lying on a rocking chair and basking in the sun, looking like Jiang Taigong fishing, and wearing a long coat.

It turns out that the cost-effectiveness of purchasing something like red qi is too low.

Strictly speaking, red membranaceus belongs to the same family as astragalus and belongs to its varieties.

However, the growth conditions of red membranaceus are much harsher than that of astragalus. It will not work if it is too dry or if the humidity is too high.

It shouldn't be too cold, but if it gets hot, it will stop growing.

Most people would never go to the place where red qi grows.

When doing business, herbal traders must win by quantity.

Red Astragalus is not expensive enough to be purchased at a high price like Cordyceps. If you can't accumulate it in quantity, you won't be able to make much money.

Gansu is an important producing area of ​​red stilbene, with almost 9% of red stilbene produced here.

However, the temperature rose too fast this spring, causing the red sage root that was originally glowing with new leaves to be heated over a large area, stopped growing, and the roots were severely rotted.

The production cuts are severe.

The original stable channels are gone, leaving a big vacancy in the market.

"That's the situation. I'm not afraid to tell you. There aren't many shops in Old Cross that accept red qi. Only time-honored brands like ours will accept some."

After the old man explained the process to Li Muyang, he pulled his reading glasses down the bridge of his nose and looked at Li Muyang with squinted eyes.

"This year, the quantity of red qigen is small. Occasionally, the goods are brought over, and the quality is also very poor. It is very risky to receive it. It may rot in the hands. How can ordinary people dare to buy it...

I don’t dare to ask for it, I don’t dare to ask for it~”

"Then how much do you charge for this?"

“Don’t dare to say this nonsense, it still depends on the quality.

The best grade costs about ten yuan per pound, but this kind of quality is hard to come by.

Usually it’s three to five yuan. "

Li Muyang smiled, said goodbye to the old man and left.

He did not walk out of the Old Cross immediately, but wandered around inside for a long time.

Come here, it’s good to take a look at the medicinal herb market.

I had thought before that since a lot of herbs can grow there in Yangziling, and Taoshan is close to that, maybe it can be done.

If there is an opportunity to make money, Wang Tianxiao can be involved in developing medicinal herbs.

Maybe it’s another way to make a fortune.

Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain.

After wandering around for more than an hour, I roughly got a feel for the prices of some local medicinal herbs. I saw that it was almost noon, so I went out to eat a bowl of noodles and rode back.

He did not go home directly, but first came to the brick and tile factory to look for rice and soil.

The mother's matter has basically come to an end, and all that's left is to slowly recover.

The Cordyceps matter was basically over, and he could finally take some time to study the development of the orchard.

There can be no further delay.

The flowers of Zaotao have basically fallen. If we don't deal with it quickly, the remaining half of the land that is not ready for grafting this year will be abandoned for another year.

This is not possible, even if this place is in a free period now, time waits for no one.

He still had to think of some way to see if he could get some results.

　It seems that the monthly ticket price is less than 1000. I heard that 1000 tickets can be drawn in a lottery.

　　I am so useless that I cry to death.
