Chapter 183 The Little Padded Jacket Leaks the Wind
Dairy farmers have long been anxious.
I have been here for half an hour. There are many people watching and few people buying.
Looking at the rare things one by one, it’s like coming to a circus.
Finally someone asked about the price.
"Boss, my milk only costs 24 cents per pound." The dairy farmer was afraid that Lu Hao would find it too expensive, so he explained, "If you buy it at a milk station, a pound of raw milk costs 3 cents, and if it is sterilized milk, it will cost even more.
It’s expensive, it costs 60 cents per pound.”
Raw milk actually doesn’t taste good, as anyone with a daughter-in-law knows. It smells good, tastes bland, and still tastes fishy when placed in the refrigerator.
Milk is expensive, tastes unpleasant, and is difficult to store. A combination of these factors contributes to its poor sales.
Some milk companies sometimes don't collect milk, and dairy farmers don't have the means to store it, so they use more for themselves, so they take their cows to the city to see if they can sell some and recover their losses.
The weather is hot, so it’s hard to squeeze out the food in advance, so sell now and sell it now to keep it fresh and try to sell it at a good price.
Just like selling vegetables, you pick vegetables early in the morning and rush to the vegetable market in the dark to try to get a good price.
At 2 cents and 4 cents per pound, this price is not expensive.
"Can I squeeze one kilogram?" Lu Hao asked.
"Okay." The dairy farmer said with a smile, "This cow can milk more than ten kilograms of milk a day. It needs to be milked three times a day. You can bring an enamel vat to hold it."
The dairy farmer glanced at Nini, who was standing next to Lu Hao, "Is this your baby? The baby is too young, so don't give her raw milk to drink. It will cause stomach upset and needs to be heated."
Lu Hao smiled. This dairy farmer was quite honest and did not say that the freshly squeezed milk was fresh, tasty and nutritious.
Many people have a misunderstanding about fresh milk. They think that freshly squeezed milk is called fresh milk. It has high nutrition, good taste, is natural and pollution-free. In fact, this is not true. Freshly squeezed milk has high nutritional value, but it often also has high nutritional value.
It is accompanied by a lot of bacteria, so you need to heat and disinfect it yourself.
It's not a matter of taste, but a matter of hygiene. After all, it's milk, not human milk. Dairy farmers can't wash milk every day, as it will be stained with bacteria.
It may be fine for adults to drink it, but if you give it to children, they may get sick if they have less immunity.
"How do you heat this raw milk?" Su Min asked.
"It's simple. Do you have a pot at home? Just put it in the pot and boil it. But be careful, control the heat and don't overcook it." The dairy farmer said, "If you have sugar at home, you can add some sugar to it.
, the taste will be better and it will be easier for children to accept it."
"It may taste a bit fishy, but it is nutritious. Many leaders have ordered it at home for the elderly and children to drink."
Su Min immediately went upstairs and brought an enamel jar down.
The dairy farmer put the enamel tank aside and took out a glass bottle himself, explaining to Lu Hao, "This is the bottle used in the milk station. One bottle is 250 grams. I won't lie. You can take it later."
You can weigh yourself when you go back. If it's not right, just come to me."
He squeezed 4 bottles of milk, poured them all into the enamel jar, and added half a bottle, which was considered a loss.
Be honest in doing business.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" Lu Hao asked.
"Boss, you want it tomorrow? Do you want it in the morning or in the afternoon?" the dairy farmer said immediately.
Milk is not easy to sell. If it were not for subsidies, he would not raise dairy cows. The milk company first purchases milk from state-owned units and collective units, and only purchases private milk if there is a shortage.
Many times the company doesn't come to collect it. I drink too much and no one wants it after I sell it. There are costs to absorb every day, such as feed and so on.
Being forced to do nothing, he brought a cow to the city. As expected, no one asked for it for half an hour. Now, finally, someone was willing to buy it. He was very happy.
"Yes, I want it in the morning and in the afternoon." Lu Hao has a good appetite.
Come once in the morning and you will be in good spirits all day long.
Do it before going to bed to help you sleep.
He looked at the dairy farmer and asked, "Are you too far away to make it convenient to come here?"
Forgetting it was too far, he looked for someone to see if he could order milk from the milk company.
Milk must be drank consistently to be effective.
"It's not far, not far. I'm very close. It's in the suburbs. It takes more than 40 minutes to walk here." The dairy farmer knew that this business could be a long-term business. He was excited when he spoke, for fear of being embarrassed. "I took the cows here in the morning.
, come over again in the afternoon, and I will still be waiting for you, boss, at the gate of the community?"
One boss at a time, not afraid of hard work just to make a few cents.
It takes more than 40 minutes to come here, and it takes about an hour and a half to come back. There is one trip in the morning and one trip in the evening, which takes three or four hours.
For life, there is no such thing as simplicity.
But in fact, there are things that are even more difficult than this. Some grow their own vegetables or fruits, and in order to sell them at a good price, they even pull a cart and carry a load and travel dozens of kilometers to do business.
Just to make a few extra bucks from the price difference.
Carry a few large steamed buns with you and a bottle of warm boiled water for a day.
Many people miss their carefree childhood, but in fact it's just that there was someone carrying the burden for them.
"You don't need to come in the afternoon." Lu Hao said, "You can just come over in the morning."
Seeing that the dairy farmer's face changed a little, he immediately explained, "We also need milk in the afternoon, but you don't have to make a special trip in the afternoon, just come here in the morning. I have a refrigerator at home, so I can get some more and put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
.”
If you have a refrigerator, you can store it for longer.
"Thank you very much, boss." After hearing this, the dairy farmer put down his anxiety.
Even if he can only earn 50 cents from selling milk a day, he is content with it. It is 15 yuan a month, which is already very difficult.
In rural areas, few people drink milk. At most, it is the newborn baby whose mother has no milk and asks to borrow some, or the dying old man, whose son comes to ask for some to supplement the nutrition of the old man.
If he couldn't afford the medicine, he could only drink some milk before he died, just for psychological comfort.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, regardless of deeds when it comes to the heart.
Niu Niu tilted her head and looked at Lu Hao, "Dad, why don't you just buy this cow? When I go to school, I can ride the cow to school. How convenient?"
She has even thought about the means of transportation to school in the future.
This brain circuit is always so unusual.
"Put it under your blanket and raise it?" Lu Hao said.
"Dad, you really know how to joke. My quilt is so small. How can you lie down if the cows are released?" Niu Niu is a brat. "You can't hug mom at night. Are you willing?"
This girl...
In turn, he defeated his army.
A family of three returned to the community. Lu Hao took the sack containing Maotai from the car. Xiaoye Sunflower Maotai was not given to Nini. The little cotton-padded jacket had been leaking recently, so he was afraid that she would accidentally drop it, so he took it himself. After a little effort, he went back.
Room.
"I'm going to boil the milk." Su Min entered the kitchen carrying the enamel vat.
