Chapter 7 Plastic Greenhouses and Clicks
As soon as the bell of the New Year in 1986 of the lunar calendar rang, the adults at home began to make plans for the new year.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the family sat next to the stove and discussed. The eldest sister was sent to complete the winter vacation homework. The second sister was still chatting with Mr. Zhou. As the youngest person in the family, Zeng Lingfeng was hiding in his mother's arms at this moment, listening to the family planning for the New Year.
Due to the magical performances in the previous few times, Zeng Lingfeng already has half of the power of an adult at home. Why is it said to be half? It is still very complicated. But no matter what, Zeng Lingfeng has just turned one year old, has not been weaned yet, and is still learning to walk. In this case, it is impossible to get the power completely equal to the adult. After all, Zeng Lingfeng still cannot handle many things by himself.
My father found Zeng Lingfeng hiding in his wife's arms and didn't say anything. He felt very strange. When the family discussed it before, didn't this kid say the most? What happened today? He was there without saying a word?
The father asked Zeng Lingfeng: "Sanwa, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why didn't you say a word?"
After hearing his father's words, Zeng Lingfeng almost fell to the ground from his mother's arms.
Who are these people?
Zeng Lingfeng rolled his eyes at his father and said, "There is nothing to discuss this year. Didn't you know that all kinds of medicinal materials have been reduced since the twelfth lunar month last year? So there are no good prices this year. You can just plant anything. If you think it's best to play at home, it doesn't matter if you don't do anything."
After hearing Zeng Lingfeng's words, the mother twisted him and said blamingly: "What are you saying, your child? Do nothing, and you can sit at home and eat all over the place?"
Zeng Lingfeng smiled and sloppyly. He couldn't talk back to his mother about these things. His mother is a very hardworking person and will never be idle for a moment. If he argues with her, wouldn't he be unable to get along with himself?
Zeng Lingfeng continued: "If you really want to say what to do, you can make a plastic greenhouse in the second half of the year."
"Plastic greenhouse? What is this?" The family looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Dad scratched his head, thought for a while, as if he had remembered something. He said in confusion: "Is it the one who grows vegetables in winter? I seemed to have seen it on the way when I went to Enshi."
Zeng Lingfeng also felt strange. His father had seen this thing? Is it really arose on Enshi?
Zeng Lingfeng started to tell his family about the plastic greenhouse in his memory.
At the end, the family members also understood what Zeng Lingfeng said about the plastic greenhouse. However, they were very puzzled by how Zeng Lingfeng knew this, but they didn't care about it when they thought that Zeng Lingfeng was puzzled. At the family, grandfather was a thorough materialist, while his mother was a desirable person. They could find excuses to understand these things. In fact, the main reason was that this strange little guy was his own child. Even if he was a reincarnation of a fairy, he had to admit it. Otherwise, could he be killed?
"Can this thing really make money?" my father asked in confusion.
Zeng Lingfeng said: "Of course, don't look at who said to you!"
The father then asked Zeng Lingfeng: "Do you know how much these types of sheds cost?"
Zeng Lingfeng thought for a while and said, "The wooden structure can't cost much money. You can buy some plastic film. The other two are the other two. The steel pipe structure costs about 500 per acre, while the galvanized type may cost about 1,500 if there is one."
The father thought for a while and said, "I don't spend much money. I still have a lot of money left to do this thing last year. Sanwa, can this thing really make money?"
Zeng Lingfeng said: "Of course, if you don't look at what's out there, it's all winter and summer dishes, all off-season, and it's definitely not the price of ordinary dishes. Cucumbers must also be sold at the price of meat, at least several times the price of ordinary dishes, otherwise how can it reflect that rare things are expensive?"
"That's quite expensive and should be able to make money. Sanwo, let's listen to you, and I'll build a plastic greenhouse this year. It doesn't matter if I can't make money. I just think it's a plant to eat it myself." My father looked rich and generous.
Zeng Lingfeng said: "Dad, since you have decided, you have to make a lot of preparations in the first half of the year, such as taking a driver's license, buying a car, contacting the store in the city, buying various materials for plastic greenhouses, and asking someone to replace all the soil in my house for easy management... In short, there are still many things."
"Learn a driver's license? Buy a car? Why do you want these?" My father was very surprised.
"You can't sell the vegetables before you can get rich after they grow them?" Zeng Lingfeng said.
"There is no need to buy a car! Isn't it enough to ask someone to help me pull it?" My father said disapprovingly.
"Ask someone to pull him? Are you making money for others? You are stupid! Besides, you will have to sell vegetables every day, but you don't know if you can invite people every day. If you can't invite them, will the food you sell be ruined at home?" Zeng Lingfeng looked like he looked contemptuous.
The father said embarrassedly: "It seems that we really have to buy a car! How big is it? Can a ton of it be?"
Zeng Lingfeng said: "One ton is OK, but it is best to buy two tons or two and a half tons."
"You can't get such a big car? Our family only has about ten acres of greenhouses together in the fields." My father said uncertainly.
"You can't just consider the family. Someone will definitely follow the trend at that time. It is definitely not a dish of our family. This is not such a mysterious thing. People will understand it slowly. Then others ask you to help you, but you can still disagree?" Zeng Lingfeng explained.
My father agreed and decided to buy a two-and-a-half-ton cart.
My father understood Zeng Lingfeng's words about finding someone to exchange the land together.
The land at home is distributed in several places, which is very fragmented. If you make a plastic greenhouse, you must plant it. In this way, it will be extremely difficult to manage because it is not together. There is no such concern when you change the land to one place, which will also form an economies of scale.
My father, who has been in business for several years, has a relatively good understanding of scale effect.
So, from the beginning of the year, my father became busy. During the spring plowing period, he contacted everywhere and exchanged his own land with someone. After the spring plowing and the work at home was relaxed, he went to the city driving school to study for a driver's license. It took two months to go there. When he came back after the driver's license exam, his family would start to be busy with summer collection again.
Originally, the family was always very busy. Not only did there be a store to run, but there were also a pig farm at home. Although there were not many pigs, there were thirty or forty, which required a lot of energy to take care of.
This is still the case with grandpa and grandparents who can be busy with help. Otherwise, if only her mother would be the only one, she would be unable to work hard.
Finally, although the family was barely busy, everyone was busy.
In desperation, Zeng Lingfeng had to give advice to his family again, which was to ask someone to help run a pig farm. The target was the Liu brothers in the village.
The Liu brothers have a good relationship with their father, and they are also butchers in the village and are quite good at raising pigs.
In the previous life, especially during the Zeng Lingfeng family's difficult period, the Liu brothers still took good care of the Zeng Lingfeng family, just like sometimes when Zeng Lingfeng's family killed pigs and asked them to help sell meat, but they didn't charge any hard work. Although the money was not much, it was only about ten yuan to sell a pig, but for the Zeng Lingfeng family at that time, it was still a sum of money that could not be ignored. Zeng Lingfeng also remembered this kindness. Now that he has the ability to repay it, Zeng Lingfeng is naturally willing to do so.
The Liu brothers were also very satisfied with the conditions offered by Zeng Lingfeng's family. After all, the salary of the formal employees of the Danxing cigarette factory, which is the best-in-class Danxing County, is only about fifty per month, and farming in the countryside can only earn four or five hundred yuan a year. The condition offered by Zeng Lingfeng's family is a monthly salary of one hundred, which is simply a satisfactory and unsatisfactory condition.
With the help of two semi-professional people, the efficiency of the Zeng Lingfeng family's pig farm has been significantly improved, and the scale has also increased to more than 100, almost quadrupled.
Zeng Lingfeng also asked his father to rent a store in Danxing City to sell meat, which increased the family's income.
At this time, there were very few places for private pork selling in Danxing City, and the meat was often in short supply. Zeng Lingfeng asked the store he rented to earn more than 30,000 yuan for his family in the first year. Although it was not as small as the medicinal materials last year, more than 30,000 yuan was already a huge sum of money for Danxing at this time.
Because the store is fair in price and never lacks weight, it has received great praise from the city people. At the end of the year, it was also rated as an advanced self-employed by the Danxing Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which made Zeng Lingfeng and his family very happy.
The Liu brothers were very grateful to the Zeng Lingfeng family. Although they knew very well how much income they had brought to Zeng Lingfeng's family, they did not make any statements about salary increases. They knew very well that even if they went home to do it themselves, they would definitely not be able to achieve such results. After all, they did not have that much capital. Moreover, the Liu brothers were all people who knew how to be grateful and would not do such things.
Zeng Lingfeng was also very happy. As the saying goes, the fragrance of a rose hand is left, let alone that he is repaying his benefactor in his previous life. Although they did not know these things, Zeng Lingfeng was happy from the bottom of his heart because he was a person who knew how to be grateful.
