Crazy Farm Chapter 7: Selling radishes
Seeing that Wang Leshan hadn't come back after lunch, He Yuting was a little worried, and her parents urged her to come to the fish pond and tell Wang Leshan to go back for dinner. He Yuting was startled by the pile of big white radishes in front of the wooden house.
Therefore, I didn't pay attention to the growth of other crops in the fields not far away.
"Shanzi, these radishes are all harvested from our farm? It's so big!"
He Yuting also grew up as a farmer. She has seen big radishes but never seen so many radishes. She couldn't help but ask Wang Leshan in the cabin curiously.
"A few days ago, I contacted a friend who is studying in agricultural college. He happened to be researching a new type of organic soil and fertilizer. I asked him to help me get some. It seems that the effect is not bad. However, this radish can So good, it must have something to do with the seeds that Dad bought and took good care of."
Wang Leshan said with a haha, which was a foreshadowing, picked up two more radishes, and said to He Yuting: "Let's go, let's go back and taste how it tastes."
"Hmm."
He Yuting saw that the harvest in the field was good, so she was naturally happy. She also knew that Wang Leshan studied very well and was admitted to the best high school in Yunhai City. There must be all kinds of capable students in such a high school. It's just because... something like Wang Lehai delayed Wang Leshan early to drop out of school and go out to work, hey...
Went home with Wang Leshan, washed the radishes and cut them up, stir-fried a plate, braised a plate, and baked some radish and egg pancakes.
He Yuting is a good cook, with quick movements, and it was quickly cooked and brought to the dinner table.
"Delicious!"
Wang Leshan tasted it, and his index finger moved more and more. He Yuting's kitchen aside, it's all down to the chopsticks just how good the ingredients are!
"Sister-in-law, you can try it too."
Wang Leshan asked He Yuting to taste it again. He Yuting was also surprised by the taste of this white radish. The usual white radish could not make such a taste.
As a result, Wang Leshan has more confidence in selling this batch of white radishes at a good price.
I gave some to my parents, telling them that this year's white radish had a good harvest, which also made the two elders feel relieved and happy.
After eating, Wang Leshan thought about how to sell radishes.
The average yield of radishes on five acres of land is 7,000KG, which is about 40,000KG, or about 40 tons.
The family originally had a small agricultural truck, but because it was hit hard in the car accident, it is still in the repair shop, and I don't know when it will be repaired. As a result, he had to borrow a car or even rent one. This reminded Wang Leshan of Fatty Li at the entrance of the village. There is a small truck in his house, which is usually used to pull stones and bricks. , should be able to rent a car for a day or two.
Who are you selling to?
Wang Leshan knew that there was a purchase station in the town, and there were purchasers from all over the world all year round. However, according to Wang Leshan's knowledge, the price there is not high. For radishes, the highest price can only be 2 yuan per kilogram, and sometimes even 1 yuan or 5 yuan. If it can be sold for two yuan a kilogram, it can also be sold for seventy or eighty thousand, which is also a lot of money for Wang Leshan. However, Wang Leshan always feels that such a good radish is sold at a wholesale price, which is somewhat unwilling.
After much deliberation, Wang Leshan finally decided to pay attention. Buying can be done, but other ways must be explored, not wholesale.
Having stayed in Shencheng, he also knows a little bit about brands and boutiques. He knows the importance of this stuff.
Let's go out of the house and walk to the entrance of the village.
There is an activity center at the entrance of Dakang Village. There are two rows of five-story buildings in front of the activity center. It is the tallest house in the village. There are several shops on the first floor, a snack shop, and two small shops. The small shops in the countryside generally have one thing, that is, the chess and card room, which is used to play mahjong and double button.
Fatty Li's name is Gao Dali, he is about 1.7 meters tall, and weighs close to 200. This proportion should be bloated and bulky, but Fatty Li is an exception. Not only does he not look bloated, but he is very flexible. In the words of the locals, this is a flexible earth and fat circle.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wang Leshan saw Fatty Li standing in the chess and card room. As before, he could only watch but not play. This was one of Fatty's characteristics. Basically I don’t gamble, I only come here occasionally during the New Year and festivals, and I don’t like mahjong and double button. I only play Pai Gow. It's hard to understand that he can watch mahjong double buttons for a long time, and he is motionless, with relish.
Wang Leshan called out twice, and the fat man saw that it was Wang Leshan who smiled, walked up to Wang Leshan with a big water glass he was carrying, and asked, "Are your parents better? ?"
Holding the big water glass, he took out a pack of cigarettes and scattered one to Wang Leshan. He didn't smoke it himself, but because he was pulling stones and bricks, he was used to bringing a pack of cigarettes around to give to others. Not bad, the Furong King in his twenties.
"It's fine."
Wang Leshan responded, waved his hand again and said that he quit smoking when he was in Shencheng, and exchanged a few words with Fatty Li, also knowing that Fatty Li likes to have fun, and then stated his purpose, Dao: "I have a problem with you. The white radishes in the field have been collected, and they are going to be sold, but my small truck was damaged and is still being repaired. I want to borrow your car to transport it. Do you use the car for the past two days? ?"
Fatty chuckled and said happily, "I've been busy these days, you can use it whenever you want."
"I can't drive your car, you have to drive it."
"No problem."
Wang Leshan said again: "The amount of radishes is quite large. It is estimated that one trip or two will not be able to take it away. The money for this car..."
Fatty interrupted: "It's worth it, just fill up the gas at that time."
Wang Leshan heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "Let's talk about it then. In this way, the time will be set for tomorrow morning, try to be as early as possible, 5:30, is there any problem?"
"OK."
…
The next day, Wang Leshan got up early, and before the sun came out, he arrived at the log cabin with a large number of nylon bags prepared yesterday afternoon. Fatty Li's car was made of bricks and stones, so it was unavoidable to get dirty, and there might be some debris in it. Wang Leshan was going to use a nylon bag to cover it.
It didn't take long for Fatty to drive the pickup truck to the cabin at half past five. Wang Leshan handed over the radish egg pancake that He Yuting had made early in the morning, and at the same time glanced at the body of the pickup truck and couldn't help laughing. It was Fatty Li who washed it specially yesterday, and his work is a bit more reliable than Wang Leshan imagined.
"Yeah! This egg pancake is delicious!"
Fatty got out of the car, took a bite of the radish egg pancake, said something vaguely, and immediately took a few bites. He walked towards the cabin again, and his small eyes looked at the piles there. The white radish was stunned for a moment, and after finally swallowing the contents in his mouth, he immediately asked, "These are the white radishes you want to sell? So big!"
Seeing Wang Leshan nodding, the fat man ate the egg pancake in two or three strokes. He picked up a few white radishes and dangled them in his hand. With a pile of white radishes, he turned his head and asked Wang Leshan, "The radishes here must have a harvest of more than ten acres?"
Wang Leshan stretched out one hand and spread out five fingers, and said proudly: "Five acres."
"True or false!"
Fatty Li is also a half peasant. He has always stayed in the countryside. Speaking of which, he knows a lot better than Wang Leshan. Well, it's too exaggerated! Unexpectedly, you are quite skilled in farming!"
"I was also shocked at the time, it must be lucky."
Wang Leshan said with a smile, and then asked Fatty to open the back of the car and start loading white radishes.
Fatty Li's truck can hold 5 tons. Of course, this is calculated according to the density of stones and bricks. The specific gravity of white radish, and considering factors such as crushing, must be a maximum of four tons.
More than an hour later, Wang Leshan and Fatty Li got into the car and drove towards the main road outside the village.
Hearing that Wang Leshan was going to go to the acquisition station, Fatty couldn't help but feel a pity and asked: "Shanzi, are you really going to take these good radishes to the acquisition station?"
Wang Leshan nodded and said, "If you want to sell such a large amount, you will definitely not be able to sell it yourself. The only way is to take the acquisition route. However, not all of them are acquired. I plan to keep some and run a few more. Look for a restaurant or something to see if there is any way to go. This will trouble you to run more."
Fatty thought for a while and said, "I have a way, you can try it."
Wang Leshan asked: "Oh? What kind of way?"
Fatty said: "I have a friend in town, and his family has a radish processing factory, specializing in dried radishes, pickled radishes, etc. Why don't we go and see, the price is not too high. But it's definitely better than a buying station~IndoMTL.com~ I heard that his family specializes in processing very good radishes, and sometimes they even go to the northeast to buy them. Your radish is so good, you definitely want it."
Wang Leshan was overjoyed and said, "If this is the case, that would be the best."
"Then don't go to any purchasing station, go directly to that processing factory."
When Fatty saw Wang Leshan's agreement, he immediately took out his cell phone and called his friend, who happened to be in the factory.
It didn't take long for the small truck to arrive at the Zhenxing Radish Processing Factory in the town. The gate had to be six meters wide, with three rows of two-storey houses. The factory seemed to be quite large.
Soon, a tall man of twenty-three or four years old, wearing a floral shirt, a thick gold chain around his neck, and a tuft of yellow hair, arrived at the side of the pickup truck, and was directed at Fatty Li and Wang Leshan from a distance. Greetings, after dispersing two cigarettes, seeing that neither of them smoked, they clipped them to their ears one by one.
After chatting a few words with Fatty Li, he introduced himself again. The man's name is Zhu Wenqiang. It turned out to be a small gangster who was not doing a proper job. Because his family made a fortune in the radish processing business in the past few years, he became a half-rich second-generation gangster. The side business is to help the factory to do small things, and the main business has changed from the original bullying and dominating the market to a one-stop shop for nightclubs and bars. According to Fatty Li, this guy's character is decent in some respects.
Zhu Wenqiang knew that Fatty Li was here to help Wang Leshan sell radishes, so he turned to the back of the truck and tiptoed to look inside. Although he didn't do a proper job, after all, his family was in this business, and he had a good eye for what kind of radish was good or bad. , took a bite.
