Yan Chen went to call Han Che, and Xiang Jin greeted Grandma Mo and the others, saying that she would go back first and get the book for Grandpa Zeng. Grandpa Mo said that he would come with her and talk to his grandpa by the way.
Let's see if he is interested in this matter and then we can grow some vegetables to sell together.
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, when the plants are planted, Yan Chen and I will contact you and the buyer."
Aunt Liao asked, "Do I need to contact the buyer for this?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course, you are not going to grow these vegetables and sell them in the vegetable market one by one, right? Then when are you going to sell them? It would be too long to say it first.
It's time, and how cold is it for you guys squatting in that vegetable market in the middle of winter?
Therefore, the best way is to contact a few big customers and ask them to come to us regularly to collect vegetables. In this way, you will not only save a lot of time, but also you will not have to endure the cold in the vegetable market.
Besides, when the vegetables we have grown are grown, it is inevitable that some envious people in Bayou will have bad thoughts. If you are not at home and go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, then people will come to our fields.
What should we do if we all steal the food? Isn’t it just a waste of time to help others?”
Several people nodded, and Aunt Liao said, "That's right, some people in Wan Tou are so evil-minded, and I'm just worried about this. Aunt and uncle, your family is better. There are two of us, so we can go alone."
I'm not afraid of selling vegetables even if I'm alone at home, but I'm the only one in our house, so I really can't do it."
Xiang Jin then said, "Actually, if we want to eliminate this problem from the root, there is no way to do it. That is to let everyone grow vegetables in greenhouses, so that everyone can make a living, and there is no need to worry about other people's houses.
something.
But as we are all still in the initial groping stage, it is not easy for us to persuade others to follow suit. If this planting is good, then everyone will make money, and everyone will be happy. But if others do not plant well by then,
If there is a loss, then people will come to blame us, saying that we suggested they plant it, right?"
Several people nodded, but Grandma Mo said, "But it won't be easy to find the big customer then, right?"
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, just leave it to us. You just have to plant those vegetables." If they really can't find that big customer, then they will become that big customer themselves.
Seeing the certainty of what she said, several people must have had an idea, so they all nodded.
Xiang Jin then added, "But until our vegetable has grown, we'd better keep it a secret and don't talk about it, lest anyone have any ideas later."
A few people nodded again, followed Xiang Jin and went back with Grandpa Zeng to get the books.
Xiang Jin found the book quickly according to the location Yan Chen told her, and then she showed it to Grandpa Zeng. Grandpa Zeng was talking to her grandpa about growing vegetables in greenhouses when he saw the book in her hand.
After reading the book, he stopped talking, picked it up and flipped through it. When he saw some of the contents in it, he immediately became excited, "Girl Jin, with some of the guidance in this book, I think we should be able to
What’s the problem!”
Xiang Jin smiled, "That's great, then we can wait and make money."
Xiang Jin then turned to her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, don't you always think you have nothing to do? I've thought about it, we won't grow grain or rapeseed on the land below.
Just use it to grow vegetables in the greenhouse. When the time comes, you grow the vegetables in the greenhouse, and then you and my grandma will collect the money from the sales."
Her grandfather said, "How can your grandma and I get paid for the output of your land? Besides, we old people can't do anything big, so why do we need so much money?"
Xiang Jin said, "Why can't we collect money? That's what you planted. What happened to our land? Our land is vacant. If we don't plant it, it will be abandoned. Who else said that the elderly don't need it?
Money?
Do you know that the elderly need to be rich more? You see, children have their own families and children to support, and there are also people and worldly affairs to deal with. The money you can really give to your parents is very limited, so you have to
Save some money for yourself, so that even if one day your children are in trouble and cannot fulfill their filial piety in front of you, then you don't have to panic if you have money around you, right?
Besides, my mother is currently running a braised meat business, and she doesn’t have much time to take care of the crops in the field every day. Therefore, I can plant as few crops as possible in the field.
Also, look, our family has a braised meat shop, and my two uncles and aunts also jointly opened that food shop. Our families are all making money. You and your grandma can also do some business to make some money.
, are you happy and proud to think that you can also make money through hard work?
Let me tell you, if you grow this vegetable, you can really make money if you grow it well. Moreover, our family does not grow the vegetables we have here. Yan Chen has already planted them in the provincial capital.
We have contacted those outsiders for seeds, and we will plant them when the time comes."
Her grandfather was very happy and proud when he heard that he had made money, so he asked, "What about the seeds from outsiders, are they easy to grow? If they don't match the soil and climate here, it won't be good."
.”
Xiang Jin said, "It's easy to grow, easy to grow. Don't worry, those kinds of vegetables are all suitable for the soil here, and the climate is not suitable. Don't we have a greenhouse?"
Grandpa, let me tell you, that greenhouse is insulated. In this way, you first sort out the land, and then divide it into compartments, just like you grow wheat, leaving about thirty or forty spaces between the two compartments.
Centimeter-long distance will make it easier for people to walk and work inside. Then you can discuss it with Grandpa Zeng."
Her grandfather nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiang Jin then added, "We will only plant a few types of vegetables, and we don't need to plant too many of each type of vegetable at one time. We will just plant two or three compartments, and plant them in batches."
For example, if I plant radishes in this compartment, I also plant radishes in the other compartment, but the two compartments are far behind in planting. If I plant this compartment today, then you have to wait until at least the seedlings in the first compartment have grown in the other compartment.
Planting can be done only after that, so that there is a time difference between their growth cycles. This also avoids the situation where the first batch of vegetables has not been sold out, and the second batch of vegetables has already grown, and then the two batches of vegetables are backlogged.
It will grow old easily together, and then it will be difficult to sell.
We must try our best to pick the second batch of vegetables as soon as the first batch of vegetables is sold out. Only in this way can we make money."
Her grandfather nodded, "I understand, I understand."
Xiang Jin said, "Then do you think our family should try to grow a bunch of cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes, so that we can sell them in time for the Chinese New Year? In February and March, the vegetables in rural areas are in decline.
At that time, if these dishes were sold at this time, the price would definitely be at least two or three times higher than before."
Her grandfather asked, "Can these be grown in greenhouses?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, it just takes a little longer to grow these vegetables. You can grow many kinds of vegetables in greenhouses."
Her grandfather then asked, "The cucumbers all need to be erected, so how high will your greenhouse be?"
Xiang Jin said, "Maybe it needs to be more than two meters high, so that the temperature inside can be better locked at night, and the air flow inside can be ensured smoother, and it can also absorb the air during the day.
More sun rays."
Her grandfather said, "Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?"
Xiang Jin said, "It doesn't cost much. It's mainly the cost of a membrane, like the shelf inside. You can go directly to the big mountain behind and cut some bamboo and wood to build it. It's also possible
We need to weave some straw felt, but our family has a lot of straw, and the cows can’t eat it all anyway, and our family is not allowed to use it to burn firewood. We will just use that straw when the time comes, but it will take some time.”
Her grandfather was surprised, "You still need to make straw felt?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, we are located in the north, and it will be cold in winter, especially at night, when the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero. Then the straw mats will be placed around it.
Insulated."
His grandfather thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll take a look at it."
After Xiang Jin talked things through with her grandfather, she turned around and looked at Mr. Zeng, "Grandpa Zeng, you just have to worry about the greenhouse vegetables. You will then be the technical director of our three families."
Grandpa Zeng waved his hand and said modestly, "Hey, what kind of technical guidance is there? Grandpa Zeng, I can grow flowers and plants. In terms of planting land, I am not your grandpa's opponent. They are all veteran dealers."
It’s formal.”
Her grandfather said, "Look, you are so humble. We only know how to wield a hoe, but we know nothing about the knowledge in the book. Why can't you give us guidance if you understand culture?"
Xiang Jin also smiled and said, "What you are doing is called combining theory and practice. You can discuss it more when the time comes. And Grandpa Zeng, I think the flowers you planted can also be explained through this book."
New varieties are cultivated through some grafting methods, and they can be sold on the market for money."
Mr. Zeng said, "Flowers cannot be sold for money in our place, because we are dealing with ordinary people. Who in the countryside would be willing to spend that money to buy a pot of flowers to enjoy?"
Xiang Jin said, "That's true, but there are still some, such as those cultural people, teachers, cadres in towns and cities, they still know how to appreciate it. When the time comes, you can cultivate them and put them there.
The location in front of the school is for sale.”
Mr. Zeng waved his hands in confusion, "Forget it, I don't think it's practical to build this greenhouse yet."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's true."
After a while, Yan Chen came to call her, "Leave?!"
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll go clean up and leave right away!"
Xiang Jin entered the house, and Yan Chen said to his grandfather, "Han Che told me that he will mail the vegetable seeds to us in two days. I asked him to write your name directly to sign for it.
When you sign for it, show it to Aunt Liao and Grandpa Yang."
His grandfather nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
Xiang Jin came out with her things. Yan Chen saw that not only was her backpack bulging, but she also carried two bags in her hands, so he asked, "Did you bring all the clothes you bought today to school?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Ah, take it to school to clean it. I didn't have time at home today. What if it gets cold by then? So why don't you take it to school and prepare it? What about you, you didn't bring it? But I suggest you still
Bring it with you, otherwise what will you do if it suddenly gets cold? It’s chilly in the morning and evening now, and the weather may suddenly get colder one day, just like the last summer, it rains when it says it’s going to rain.
There is no sign of preparation at all.”
Yan Chen said, "I washed it, but I brought a sweater and thermal underwear."
Grandpa Zeng said, "When the clothes are dry in two days, I will bring them to you."
Yan Chen nodded, followed the two of them and greeted the two old people who said they were going to school. The two old people waved to them, and then Xiang Jin said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, later
Don’t forget to collect your clothes?”
"I know, go ahead, go ahead," her grandfather nodded, then waved to her again.
While walking on the road, Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "To be honest, my original intention was to let Aunt Liao plant this. I never thought that Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng would plant this?"
Yan Chen turned his head and looked at her, "Why do you think so?"
"I think your grandparents are not short of money. You see, Grandpa Zeng gets a monthly retirement salary. Your uncle and your aunt are both national scientific researchers, and they mail them some money from time to time. You sometimes
I'm getting money for them again, and they also raise dozens of chickens and ducks, and usually sell some chicken and duck eggs, so I don't think they have the need to work so hard, and I also thought you
Will oppose them," Xiang Jin said.
Yan Chen laughed, "I won't oppose them. If they want to plant it, they can plant it. As long as they find it meaningful, it is a reflection of the value of life. I support it!"
Also, it is better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish. Even if what we give them is our filial piety, they will be very happy, but I know that happiness and the happiness of creating value entirely by themselves is
What’s different is that they feel a sincere sense of pride in the value they create. Besides, it’s really cold here in winter. They have something to do all day long, and they are less likely to get sick.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Indeed, just like my grandfather, even if we provide him with good food, drink and clothes, he has nothing to do, so he always complains that he is bored.
You see, he has tidied up the inside and outside of our house. You can see how bored he is without even seeing a piece of trash outside. But now that he has something to do, he will probably spend time there every day.
Inside.”
"Um!"
Then Xiang Jin lowered his voice and approached him, "Well, until the next holiday, let's take some sample dishes to the town and contact them with a few big sellers. It's best to make them like that.
A vegetable vendor, or a slightly larger restaurant or restaurant, but I still prefer the former.
, because the demand for the former is greater, we will let the vegetable vendors drive directly to our place to collect the vegetables, and then let them distribute them through channels, so that people like your grandparents, my grandfather and Aunt Liao will also
It can save a lot of time, and you don’t have to suffer from the cold, don’t you think?”
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, I have no problem. This is indeed the most time-effective method."
Xiang Jin then explained to him again, "Ask Han Che to mail us more seeds over there. Our business needs to be long-term. Oh, by the way, how much are the seeds today?"
Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, I have already told him. He said that he will go to the nearby vegetable market after school tomorrow at noon and afternoon, and then collect all the seeds he needs. As for how much it will cost,
I don’t know either, I’ll let him hold on to it first, and then I’ll go back and get it for him, or I’ll call him directly when the time comes.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then you tell me when the time comes and I'll give it to you."
"Hey, Xiang Jin," at this moment, Xiang Jin and the others saw Zeng Qing waving to them from afar.
The two stopped talking, and when they got closer, Xiang Jin asked her, "Have you been waiting here for a long time?"
Zeng Qing said, "It didn't take long, just a while. I guess you guys came out almost immediately." Suddenly, she saw the bulging bag on Xiang Jin's back, and she also saw the bulging bag in her hand.
She couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Xiang Jin, why did you bring so many things?"
Xiang Jin glanced at the bag in his hand, "Oh, isn't it getting colder? I just brought a few thicker clothes, sweaters and autumn clothes. Do you have any in your school? No.
If so, do you want to take two of them back?"
Zeng Qing said, "I don't have to. I put a sweater and autumn clothes in my school before, and we put them out every week. It shouldn't be too cold for a week, unlike you who only put them out once every two weeks."
It might be very cold when you leave, so you should bring more clothes."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Hey, do your family want to buy cotton clothes or down jackets? Let me tell you, we found a clothing store with very good price and good quality in the town today. If your family wants to buy clothes,
If so, I can tell you the address."
Zeng Qing asked, "How good is the price?"
Xiang Jin said, "In other stores, clothes may cost more than a hundred dollars, but here they only cost dozens of dollars."
"Really? Are those good clothes? Not the kind of dirty clothes?" Zeng Qing was surprised for a while, and then became a little worried.
Xiang Jin said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, look at the clothes I bought." Then she took out the corduroy jacket she bought from the bag.
Zeng Qing took it and looked through it carefully, "Well, it's new."
Xiang Jin said, "Smell the cotton inside again."
As expected, Zeng Qing brought it up to his nose and smelled it, then said in surprise, "Oh, it smells like new cotton!"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course. I pay great attention to these details when buying clothes. Let me tell you, I own a brand clothing store."
Zeng Qing quickly asked, "How much do your clothes cost? Tell me, tell me. I'll ask my parents to buy them when I go back next week."
Xiang Jin opened the pockets of his clothes and motioned for her to fold the clothes and put them in. He said, "My clothes, including these pants of the same style, only cost more than sixty yuan in total. My boss is a stickler."
The price is based on the principle of small profits but quick turnover.
Later, I told my mother and my two aunts, and they all went there to buy clothes. Everyone in our family bought them. My two uncles said that the clothes were a good deal, at least they had to save money.
It’s almost half the money.”
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, where is their home in town?" Zeng Qing then urged.
Then Xiang Jin told her how good the other party's shop was on that street. Zeng Qing repeated the two sentences repeatedly, then nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll remember it. I'll do it when the time comes."
Let my parents go there and buy it."
Following Xiang Jin, he suddenly asked Zeng Qing about another matter, "Hey, I don't think I saw anyone from the old Xiang family in the bay this time?"
Zeng Qing looked at her in surprise, "You still don't know?"
Xiang Jin was puzzled, "What do you know? What's wrong? What happened to their family?" If that's the case, then their family is really Amitabha!
Zeng Qing shook his head, "That's not true. Didn't Sun Shuiyun give birth to a child? Then the old couple bought dozens and hundreds of eggs and brought a few chickens to serve their daughter-in-law during the confinement period and watch them.
I came to the city for my grandson’s sake.”
"Oh, no wonder," Xiang Jin nodded lightly.
"What's the wonder?" Zeng Qing asked.
Xiang Jin said, "No wonder I didn't see that old woman showing off again and acting like a monster!"
Zeng Qing said, "As I said when I was released, I will stay in the city to take care of my grandson, and I won't come back."
"Oh, they are going to be city dwellers," Xiang Jin nodded suddenly, and then asked, "Then they won't do anything with their family's land? And what about Xiang Yan, just don't care? Is that okay?
You’re still reading, you always have to come back every few weeks, right?”
Zeng Qing shook his head, "I don't know if they are city dwellers or not, but it seems that the land is still being worked on, but it is left to Song Kaijun's parents to take care of it, saying that it will be harvested when the time comes.
Give half of the money to others. They will come back when the harvest is harvested. As for Xiang Yan, I don’t know. Maybe she will be released and go directly to the city. After all, her parents are in the city, and this hometown is also
No one is not? There’s nothing interesting about her coming back, right?”
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Zeng Qing said, "But it's better if they are not at the head of the bay, so as not to annoy others, don't you think?"
Xiang Jin asked, "Why don't you want to see them so much? It seems like they don't have any grudges against your family, right?"
Zeng Qing said, "It's not a matter of enmity. The kind of people in their family are simply unlikable, okay? Do you think there are a few families in Wantou who like to associate with their family? Basically, they are.
No, that is, Song Kaijun and his family took over the farming of their family's land, but it was also a relationship of interest. If there was no such interest relationship, I guess even their family would not be willing to have any dealings with their family.
of."
Xiang Jin nodded again, and had to say that the old Xiang family was really unpopular in Wantou! But it was just right that they were not in Wantou, so that the old woman would not come to them again and act like a monster.
