They helped her so much today, so I must thank them very much!
Jiang Jiayi also liked this generous little sister, so she readily agreed.
In April, Song Xi gave each student two grape seedlings, two orange seedlings, and two grapefruit seedlings to take home.
Let parents plant it well and manage it well. If it is managed properly, there will be no shortage of fruits to eat in the future. If you can't finish it, you can take it out and exchange it for something.
In mid-April, the acre of broad beans that Song Xi planted on the sandy land, irrigated by Lingquan water, produced more than 800 kilograms.
Song Xi distributed five kilograms to each student, which removed the two hundred kilograms and left 600 kilograms. Song Xi asked the village chief to distribute two kilograms to each household, and she kept the remaining thirty kilograms.
Potatoes are usually harvested in May, but Song Xi has irrigated them with diluted Lingquan water, so in mid-April, the two acres of potatoes in the village and the one acre of potatoes in the school can be harvested.
Uncle Qian arranged for people to harvest the two acres of potatoes in the village, while Song Xi led the students to collect potatoes from the school.
Potatoes have an astonishing yield. The village harvested 30,000 jins from two acres, and the school harvested 10,000 jins from one acre. It can be said that everyone involved in the potato harvest was shocked.
However, no one made any announcement about this matter, and the potatoes were put into storage directly after harvesting.
Since many families would grow potatoes in their own plots to fill their stomachs, Qian Weimin did not arrange for anyone to share the potatoes. Instead, he asked Wu Zhuhua to call Song Xi over.
"Xiao Xi, do you have any opinions about these potatoes?" Qian Weimin doesn't want to sell these potatoes at a low price. This year's potatoes are big and plump, with smooth skin and no problems at all. They can be sold for a few cents per pound.
All will bleed.
"Uncle Qian, do you still remember the taste of the potato pancakes and potato balls I gave you years ago?" Song Xi raised his eyebrows confidently.
Qian Weimin nodded repeatedly, "Remember, remember, it was so delicious, our whole family can't forget it until now!" Then Qian Weimin reacted, "Xiao Xi, wouldn't you..."
Song Xi nodded firmly, "Uncle Qian, you can't do private business now, but you can do it in the name of a collective. I want Uncle Qian to apply to set up a small workshop. I will give the recipe and method of potato cakes and potato balls to the village.
Let’s work together as a group and recruit a few aunts who are good at cooking. Let’s make potato pancakes and potato balls together. Then we can send them to supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores or grocery stores to sell them. Potatoes can only be sold for a few cents per pound. We
If you process it like this, you can sell it for as little as 50 cents. People in the city have high incomes, so even if you sell it for one yuan per catty, there are many people who are willing to buy it."
Not only Qian Weimin's eyes lit up, but also the eyes of several other village cadres also had hope. The accountant was very excited, "Village Chief, I think the method Song Xi said is feasible."
Although Wu Zhuhua was happy, she also had her own worries. She also expressed her worries directly, "This shouldn't be able to be done for a long time, right? If people in other villages find that processing potatoes can make so much money, they will definitely
Stealing our business."
"It's normal to grab business. Someone will grab business at any time. Besides, it's not called grabbing. We can do the potato business, and others can do it too. Just like that garment factory, there are people all over the country.
There is a garment factory, but you can't make it without letting others make it. Isn't this an industry monopoly? But we can find ways to improve the quality and taste. As long as we make it better than others, no one can take it away.
Our business.”
The potatoes in Ping'an Village have been watered with spiritual spring water. No matter the texture or taste, they are not comparable to ordinary potatoes. Even if others steal the business for a while, so what?
It won't last long.
Afraid that everyone would continue to struggle with this, Song Xi hurriedly said, "But there is definitely no way to rob it in the first two years, because we can use the price one cent higher than the market price to collect potatoes from other villages, or we can
We can sign cooperation agreements with other villages and let them give priority to selling potatoes to our Ping An Village every year."
"Xiao Xi..." Qian Weimin felt like he was enlightened. Instantly, his mind became clear and he knew what to do. He looked at the little girl sitting in front of him and was really excited. He really wished that she was his daughter.
My child's mind is spinning too fast. With her here, why worry about Ping An Village not being developed?
"Xiao Xi, leave these matters to us old guys to handle. You can just teach the students peacefully. When the arrangements are made, I will call you over to teach you how to make potato cakes and potato balls."
Qian Weimin was so excited that he wanted to go to the commune to report this matter now. Because Ping'an Village was very remote and very poor, the people in the commune had a completely indifferent attitude towards Ping'an Village.
If they find ways to increase the villagers' income, the commune will definitely agree.
"Uncle Qian, we agreed before that planting vines will not delay the planting of spring corn and sweet potatoes. Now the yield of vines has been good. If we ruin the planting of corns and sweet potatoes, it would really be a bit outweighed by the gain..."
"Xiao Xi, you don't have to worry about this. We won't destroy the vine vegetable fields. We will find new places to plant sweet potatoes and corn. We want the food and the money," Qian Weimin assured.
It is impossible for them to destroy the rattan vegetables that are so profitable now. Besides, the village has opened up so much wasteland a few years ago. Although it has no nutrients, it can be poured with more farmyard manure.
"Uncle Qian, I still need a few mountains. I want to take my children to plant fruit trees. When the time comes, the fruit trees can also bring income to everyone. If they can't bring income, they can be shared with everyone. If they don't work, they can be cut down.
If you use it as firewood, it will never be wasted.”
Song Xi had a headache when she thought of the hundreds or even thousands of one-meter-high grapefruit trees in the supermarket. She didn't expect that the original twenty-five grapefruits could cultivate so many fruit trees. She didn't know how many mountains it would take to plant them all.
"Use whichever mountain you like, but you must pay attention to safety." Qian Weimin said grandly. Now Song Xi's image in his mind is comparable to that of a god, but now he is not allowed to engage in feudal superstition, so
He cannot say such words.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Qian. I will definitely work hard to create more income for Ping'an Village." Song Xi bowed slightly to Qian Weimin, then turned and left the village.
Next, Qian Weimin and several village cadres began to run around the small workshop, while Wu Zhuhua also went to clean up the canteen and arrange the next things.
Song Xi planted broad beans, potatoes and pumpkins on the school's three acres of sandy land. Now that the broad beans and potatoes have been harvested, she must seize the time to plant watermelons.
Planting of watermelons is generally carried out in spring. Early-maturing varieties are planted in about mid-March and will mature in early to mid-July.
