Chapter 163 Small talk

The Shen family courtyard is filled with the strong aroma of strawberries every day.

The guys were talking and laughing while packing and shipping.

Wang Xiaoling, who was responsible for dividing the fruits, picked up a strawberry and said with emotion: "People in the city are really rich. Some people can buy such big strawberries for thirty or forty yuan a pound."

With this little money, wouldn’t it be delicious to buy a few kilograms of meat?”

The retail price of Shen Qiuqiu's strawberries is no secret in the village.

During the Chinese New Year, young people who go out to work come back to the village.

Many of them had downloaded the Maitian video, and coupled with the big data push, they naturally came across the short video of [Shen Family Courtyard], and then they realized that there was an Internet celebrity in their village.

[Qinghe Nongxian] Strawberries have just been put on display in the shop window, and the news has spread in the village.

When the people in the village found out that these ordinary-looking strawberries could actually be sold for thirty or forty yuan a pound, they were all astonished.

Wang Weidong's daughter-in-law was so sad that she couldn't sleep well these past few days.

She couldn't help but think, if only she had grown a few acres of strawberries last year... It felt like she had missed out on 100 million.

There are many people who think the same way as her.

At this time, someone suggested, "Xiaohua, why don't we follow your lead and plant strawberries this year?"

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said neither yes nor no.

"We planted three acres of strawberries and invested about 20,000 yuan. My family planted 13 acres of land and invested about 170,000 yuan. The capital should be returned, but I don't know how much money I can earn.

Generally speaking, growing strawberries is a high investment, high return, and involves certain risks.

When the strawberries are sold out, I will take the time to tell you about it, and then you can decide for yourself whether you want to plant them or not."

This was all true, but it scared off several people at once.

According to Shen Qiuqiu, the investment cost for one acre of land is at least six to seven thousand, and you have to bear certain risks... Ordinary families simply cannot afford it.

Some people also heard that Shen Qiuqiu planned to plant passionflower, but couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohua, I heard that you also want to plant passionflower?"

Last year's Sunshine Rose grapes, coupled with the current strawberries, were sold at very good prices, which really made people jealous... Invisibly, many people began to believe in the vision of Shen Qiuqiu, a college student, and subconsciously wanted to follow her in growing fruits. Make big money.

There is nothing to hide about planting passionflower. Shen Qiuqiu nodded generously, "Yes, but it's not ready yet. I'll probably plant it around April."

The man quickly asked, "Is it easy to grow passionflower? How much does it cost to invest per acre? We are all illiterate and we don't understand this. Please explain it to us."

Shen Qiuqiu thought about this question for a while before answering.

"I have never planted them myself, so I don't know if they are easy to grow. However, the wild passionflowers on Laodong Mountain grow very well, so it seems that they should not be difficult to grow.

As for the investment, I checked online and found that it costs about one thousand yuan per acre.

The cultivation cycle of passion fruit is short, and the fruit can be harvested five or six times a year. It is said that the yield per mu can reach about 1,600 kilograms.

The passion fruit on the market now can be sold for more than 20 yuan per catty, while the cheaper ones can be sold for seven or eight yuan."

Those with a flexible mind quickly calculated the accounts in their minds.

The yield per mu is 1,600 kilograms. At seven yuan per kilogram, it can be sold for 11,000 yuan... After deducting the cost, one acre of land can earn 10,000 yuan.

The man couldn't help but sigh, "God, you can make so much money just by growing passion flowers."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said: "Uncle, you can't calculate the accounts like this. The price of fruits is not as stable as that of food. It varies every year. There is still a risk."

We are all farmers and farmers, and everyone has their own minds on whether we can grow passion fruit.

"Xiaohua, uncle will plant five acres of passionflower with you this year, will it be okay?"

"Xiao Hua, our family also wants to plant a few acres."

Wang Weidong's wife was very excited and said quickly, "Xiao Hua, our family also wants to plant five acres of flowers every year. His father and I will also plant five acres of flowers."

With so many people planting crops together, Shen Qiuqiu was under a lot of pressure.

She is not too worried about planting issues, but is mainly worried about sales.

However, compared to grapes and strawberries, passion fruit is easy to store, resistant to transportation, and has a wider market. The most important point is that its planting cost is very low, and the cost of trial and error is also low.

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go back and consult the technician at the agricultural science station and get a charter. Whatever the people in the village want to plant, we can plant it together."

Everyone was so happy when they heard this, and everyone had a bright smile on their face.

Grandma Shen on the side was worried.

During dinner in the evening, she couldn't help but start nagging, "Xiaohua, how can you take such a big responsibility on yourself?

You are still young and do not understand the twists and turns. Do they want to follow you to grow passion flowers? They want to follow you to make a lot of money.

It's nice to say it now, but if you can't make money in the future, they can blame it on you and scold you until you can't even lift your head."

Grandpa Shen couldn't help but frown, "We are from the same village, how can you think of people so bad? Let's just talk about Wei Dong and his wife. They are such good people, but they will definitely not be like you said."

Grandma Shen rolled her eyes, "There are hundreds of households in our village, can you guarantee that all of them are good and no one is evil?"

Seeing that her grandparents were about to quarrel again, Shen Qiuqiu quickly came out to break up the fight.

"Grandma, don't worry. I am sensible and I thought carefully before I dared to take over this matter... I am 90% sure that I can accomplish this."

"Where is the remaining 10%?" Grandma Shen was still a little worried.

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing, "If there is a natural or man-made disaster, even if the gods come, there is nothing we can do."

Grandpa Shen patted Shen Qiuqiu on the shoulder with great satisfaction, "This is my granddaughter Shen Laoer, Xiaohua, just go ahead and do it, grandpa supports you."

Grandma Shen had a drooped face and said nothing, her troubles and worries were written on her face.

Shen Qiuqiu gave her a piece of stir-fried pork with chopsticks and patiently persuaded her: "Grandma, I know that taking on this matter will put a heavy burden on me. I am also afraid of letting down the trust and expectations of the villagers. I also Afraid of cold looks and blame.

My grandfather taught me since I was a child that I should study hard, become talented as soon as possible, build my hometown, and serve the motherland.

Qinghe Village is our home, the place where I was born and raised. I hope it can get rid of its poverty and become better and better.

Now our family's life is getting better and better, but there are still many families in the village who are suffering from poverty.

Aunt Manxiang got the disease last time and it cost her all her money to cure it. Now the family's life is very tight;

Years ago, it was frosty. I went to Yanhong’s canteen to buy salt. I met Luo Xiaomei from Uncle Luo’s family. It was the twelfth lunar month of winter. The little girl was wearing a thin school uniform jacket and sandals on her feet. She was freezing cold. nasal discharge;

Grandma Chen's granddaughter, I heard that her academic performance was very good when she was in school, and she was awarded the "Three Excellent Students" every year. However, her family's financial situation was not good and they could not afford her education, so she dropped out of junior high school before she graduated.

There is also Yang Dajin’s house. I heard that there is not even a decent house in the house, and the whole family sleeps in the same room with the animals;

Every time I hear these things, I feel extremely uncomfortable. I remember that when I was a child, life at home was difficult, and how hard you and grandpa worked to bring me and Xiaoshu together.

I don’t have much ability, but I also want to do something within my ability, hoping to help them.”
