Global Farm King

Chapter 11 The Living Bodhisattva

Motianling is a relatively remote town in Kaizhou, located in the hilly area where mountains and plains meet.

Motian Town typically has many mountains and little land. After the new century, many young people went out to work, and the folks who stayed at home responded to the call of the county and specially planted vegetables.

However, with the expansion of vegetable planting in various places in recent years, the price of lettuce has dropped sharply this year, several times lower than last year, as low as only two or three cents.

For the vast number of vegetable farmers, the cost of labor, seeds, fertilizers, etc. for an acre of vegetables costs [-] to [-] yuan.

If calculated according to the output of 2500 kilograms per mu, the income of one mu of land is only 1000 yuan at [-] cents per catty. This kind of income cannot even recover the cost.

Uncle Huang is one of these many vegetable farmers. Although the vegetables in the field are still half a month away from ripening, he is so worried that he can't even eat because of the loss.

Smoking a big cigarette, Uncle Huang came to his vegetable field, looked at the crops of green lettuce, and sighed bitterly.

"I knew I wouldn't grow lettuce this year. If I planted other vegetables, I might be able to keep my capital and earn some cigarette money." Uncle Huang regretted it secretly.

On the one hand, planting lettuce requires low technology and good management. On the other hand, he was also stimulated by the wholesale price of lettuce last year at RMB [-], so he planted three acres of lettuce cruelly, but did not grow any other vegetables.

At this moment, Uncle Huang saw a young man walking on the opposite road, carrying a black backpack, looking left and right as he walked, and he didn't feel like he was passing by.

Gu Chen drove to Kaizhou County in the afternoon, and after inquiring about the situation, he continued to follow the navigation towards Motianling.

Along the way, Gu Chen feels that the environment of Motianling is a bit like the hilly area of ​​his hometown, but there are not so many trees on the mountain, and they are basically short and small trees.

There are very few paddy fields here, and most of them are dry land, which is suitable for growing vegetables such as lettuce and potatoes that do not require high water requirements.

After Gu Chen arrived in the town, he chose a rural road at random, drove slowly and looked around, hoping to find a suitable place to buy vegetables.

When Gu Chen drove to Uncle Huang's village, Gu Chen parked the car on the side of the road, then got out of the car and prepared to walk around.

The reason why I chose to stop is because there are many mountains around and the houses of farmers are scattered, so it is easy to keep secret in the later operation.

At this time, Gu Chen also saw Uncle Huang and walked over.

"Master, is this your vegetable field?"

Uncle Huang didn't know what Gu Chen wanted to do, but he still nodded: "Yes."

Gu Chen said with a smile: "This lettuce has grown really well, can it sell for a lot of money?"

When Uncle Huang heard this, his sad face became even more ugly: "My little brother, you are here to travel. You don't know, but the purchase price of lettuce this year is very low. According to the current price, I can't even I can't even recover the cost. How can I live like this, oh..."

Hearing this, Gu Chen pretended to be surprised: "No way, sir. The price of lettuce over there is more than two yuan a catty. You can sell at least one piece, it shouldn't be so low."

Uncle Huang shook his head: "Now the purchase price is two or three cents, which is the price the purchaser gave, and the purchaser said that the lettuce price has to be lowered."

"Then you didn't grow any other vegetables? The price of other vegetables should be higher?"

Gu Chen continued to ask.

Uncle Huang regretted a bit and said: "No, my three acres of land are all grown with lettuce. The only one near us that grows a little bit of all kinds of vegetables is Li Dawa's house. Sigh, he is much better than us."

Hearing that someone had grown a variety of vegetables, Gu Chen became interested and continued to ask, "Oh, what kind of vegetables did you grow?"

"It seems that there are radishes, green peppers, and cabbage. We can only grow these simple things here."

Uncle Huang suddenly realized, why did he say this to Gu Chen, he wondered in his mind: "You young man, why are you asking this?"

Gu Chen laughed: "Master, if I buy your vegetables, how much do you think a catty is suitable?"

The uncle didn't seem to react, he was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly asked in surprise: "What did you say? You want to buy my food, are you kidding me?"

Gu Chen nodded: "To put it simply, I will buy all the lettuce in your field, first fix the price, and finally pick a batch and settle it once. What do you think?"

Uncle Huang nodded fiercely: "It's okay to sell it to you, but what's the price?"

Uncle Huang had already thought about it in his heart, if the price was [-] cents, then he would be able to guarantee that he would not lose money, and he could make some money if he sold it for [-] cents more.

"Forty cents a catty, how about it?"

Although the current wholesale price of lettuce is [-] cents to [-] cents, Gu Chen can't buy vegetables at this price.

The uncle has worked hard for a season, but he still can't keep his capital, and his super vegetables will be sold at dozens of times the price, even if he makes so much money, Gu Chen still feels bad.

Hearing Gu Chen's quotation, Uncle Huang was overjoyed, and nodded immediately: "No problem, no problem. Brother, when you ask for food, I'll pick it for you when the time comes."

Gu Chen said: "Well, I will give you a thousand deposit first. Then I need to fertilize these vegetables once, and I will start picking them in five or six days. At that time, you can find someone to pick them for me, and I will find a truck to pull the goods. "

"All right, all right, there's no problem at all."

There is no problem with these things, and Uncle Huang also agreed wholeheartedly. He is already thankful that he can sell the vegetables at a price of [-] cents.

Afterwards, Gu Chen took Uncle Huang directly to the town, printed out the purchase contract, and both of them signed the contract.

On the way back, the uncle looked at the 1000 yuan deposit in his hand and couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"By the way, don't you grow other vegetables in your village? What's the approximate area?"

Lettuce alone is too monotonous, Gu Chen needed to find some other vegetables to match, so he settled on the vegetables from Dawa Li's family.

Uncle Huang said: "Dawa Li has a lot of family members and a lot of land. Two acres of lettuce, a little more than one acre of radish, less than an acre of cabbage, and the least amount of peppers. It is estimated that there is only one-third of the land."

"That's it."

Gu Chen did some calculations, and adding the vegetables from Uncle Huang's house, he had five mu of lettuce, one mu of radish, one mu of cabbage, and a little pepper, a total of seven mu of vegetables, and then he would be busy for half a month.

"That's fine, you take me to his house later, and I'm going to buy his vegetables, and the price is still [-] cents."

After hearing this, Uncle Huang agreed with a smile: "No problem. If you want to have dinner at my house later, brother, I have to thank you for buying my vegetables."

Uncle Huang is worthy of growing vegetables by himself. He knows that he has a good relationship with Gu Chen because he often deals with buyers. Maybe Gu Chen will buy his own vegetables in the future.

Gu Chen thought about staying here for a while, and agreed.

After negotiating the vegetables from Dawa Li's house, having dinner at Uncle Huang's house again, and returning to the hotel in the town, Gu Chen planned the next plan.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
