Potato cooking is very popular. Last year, various restaurants became very popular because of this! Unfortunately, there were too few potatoes and they were sold out quickly.
Since there is a bumper harvest right now, of course I need to purchase a batch!
These potatoes are very durable, so it’s okay to buy more!
Everyone came to Zhao's house happily. The restaurant had already put hot and sour potato shreds, potato stew, potato roast chicken, fried potato slices, fried potato cakes, etc. on the menu.
The vendors set their sights on the provincial capital, hoping that the middlemen would make a profit on the price difference, and wanted to sell the potatoes to the provincial capital and other cities.
For a time, the large mansion near the school was filled with cars and people.
The hired stewards Xiao Liang and Uncle Hu were responsible for the reception, and they were so busy that they had no time to drink water.
On the first day of potato harvest, Zhao Liya roughly calculated the yield and estimated that the yield from one acre of land was about 3,600 kilograms.
She plans to plant 2,000 acres in the second crop. One acre will require about 300 kilograms of seeds. Other than that, everything can be used as sales items.
The second crop is to plant 2,000 acres. I am afraid that too much will be planted at once and it will be difficult to manage. I have to let everyone get used to it slowly, and things will be much better next year.
During normal planting in the future, approximately one-quarter of the land will be planted every year, and so on, one full rotation every four years, cultivating the land while planting.
Potato flour workshops are built very large, because they are not only responsible for making potato vermicelli, but also sweet potato vermicelli, as well as sun-dried potato starch and sweet potato starch.
I'm afraid these areas are not enough, and the scale will naturally expand further in the future.
In addition to saving seeds, she plans to give Zhong Jing a hundred thousand kilograms, which can be used to plant more than 300 acres. They have also planted some, and they think that after harvesting, they can plant a lot in the second half of the year, and they can also be used for cooking.
Improve and improve recipes.
At this time, there are still about 900,000 jins left. At least 500,000 jins should be left to make potato powder. The rest can be eaten at home, given as gifts, or sold.
Zhao Liya explained all this clearly to Uncle Hu and Manager Xiaoliang one by one, so that they knew what was going on and how to negotiate with various merchants.
Zhao Liya’s prices are not expensive either – if they are too expensive, how can they be easily distributed?
This is not only a money-making thing, but also a good thing that can fill the food gap to a large extent! Of course, the sooner it spreads, the better.
Zhao Liya set the market price at five cents per catty.
To be honest, even if you sell at this price, even if there is no potato vermicelli workshop, you can make 4,500 taels from 900,000 jins. How much can you spend? There are some who can make a net profit of several thousand taels. This is already a profit.
Too bad.
Manager Xiaoliang was a real person, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. He said with a smile: "The girl is so kind-hearted. She sells it so cheaply, and those guys are going crazy with joy!"
According to him, even if he sells it for two cents of silver per catty, it is not impossible to sell it.
Zhao Liya smiled: "The stuff is good, but the output is also large. The price will naturally come down in two years. We don't need to make this money."
You can make vermicelli and sell it all over the world, so you don't have to worry about making money.
Uncle Hu smiled and said: "We all listen to Aya!" The final word was made.
All the merchants are overjoyed. It costs five cents a pound. A plate of hot and sour potato shreds in a restaurant doesn’t cost a pound of potatoes, but it can be sold for twenty cents! Even with discounts during events, it can be sold for more than a dozen cents.
It's delicious and easy to sell, and the business in the store will be much better.
You must know that although this hot and sour potato shreds can be fried at home, the restaurant's master has specially researched it, and the taste of the fried potatoes is not comparable to that at home.
Because of the price, I originally planned to buy 500 jins, but now I buy 800 jins. I originally planned to buy 10,000 jins, but I just bought 20,000 jins.
Zhao Liya has restrictions, and one person cannot exceed 30,000 kilograms at most.
The potatoes here in Zhao Liya have just begun to be harvested. The yield is very high and the price is very good. Many villagers in the villages also have sporadically grown potatoes at home, so they also start digging them and sell them in the city themselves, or sell them sporadically in the market.
Drop it off, or sell it to various restaurants yourself.
Some restaurants will take the opportunity to lower the price, and the price will be as low as a penny per pound. Of course, people in the city have to bargain when buying.
But no matter what, the potato yield is large, even if it is three or four cents per catty, the family will also have a lot of income.
Some of them couldn't be sold, so I took them to Zhao's potato workshop to sell them with the idea of giving them a try.
Zhao Liya and Uncle Hu discussed that the potato workshop could buy them for three and a half cents per pound, and they would not accept any damaged ones.
Many people sold it happily.
Everyone is happy.
If Zhao Liya and the others charge this price, they won't make much money after excluding labor costs and other costs.
For a time, even in Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village, there were people digging potatoes and selling them to the workshops. Those who planted a lot of potatoes, in addition to keeping the originals, could also sell them for two, two, three taels of silver, which made everyone greedy.
broken!
Some of the harvested potatoes had their skins accidentally broken, so they were picked out one by one in the workshop, and they were taken home to eat, and they were the first to use them to make potato vermicelli. The workshop was also in full swing.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling specially packed a sack of about forty or fifty kilograms, plus some fruits and vegetables, caught two chickens, and prepared thirty eggs, intending to give them to Yu Gongcao's family.
However, they could not go there in person this time. If the news came to Mao Dexing's ears, Yu Gongcao might be angry and unlucky.
Even if Yu Gongcao's wife is greedy, she will probably not accept it because of fear.
If she refuses, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling will be embarrassed and the relationship between the two parties will be severed.
Zhao Liya asked two women from Bajiao Village to deliver it.
Yu Gongcao's wife happily collected the things. When Yu Gongcao came back, she told him about the incident and said with emotion: "Look at Miss Zhao and Brother Hu, hey, you are really sensible! All these are
You didn’t forget to give us something!”
Yu Gongcao didn't expect that they would come here, and he was a little emotional. He secretly made up his mind that if he could help them say a word or two, he would do so. If there was any news that could be passed on, he would secretly
It doesn't matter if you pass it on.
They are so considerate in everything they do, and I feel confident helping them.
He had a hunch that Mao Dexing would probably be unable to defeat Miss Zhao and the others. If he continued to seek death like this, he would be in trouble sooner or later.
While delivering gifts to Yu Gongcao's family, Zhao Liya also quickly organized people to transport 100,000 kilograms of potatoes to the garrison camp in Suixi County to deliver to Zhong Jing.
Zhong Jing was very happy to receive this gift. With a wave of his hand, one hundred thousand kilograms of potatoes were put into the warehouse. They had originally planted dozens of acres, and it was just right. They could dig them up and send them to the canteen. They simply kept all the one hundred thousand kilograms for seed.
