Chapter 475 475. A life of making money
Early in the morning, Song Tan's house became lively again after a long time.
Song Sancheng was sitting on the bench, with three old men and women in front of him. Even though there were not many people there, at this time, basically all the old people who could work in the village belonged to them.
After all, there are only so many people in the village, including two or three strong laborers for planting rice, three or five elderly people for weaving straw mats, and two aunties for picking tea (there are less tea leaves in summer)...
Now that a lot of people have gone out to work, there is only so much remaining labor force.
What's more, the yield of golden cherry blossoms is actually average, with one acre of land weighing only seven to eight hundred kilograms. This has to be calculated based on the yield during the peak fruiting period -
It doesn’t matter whether those on the mountain have an acre of land, anyway, the fruits are not as abundant as the flowers.
Otherwise, how rich must Guo Dong be to have the arrogance to take over the contract?
She wouldn't be able to use so many medicinal materials for a while, so Song Tan might as well discuss with Party Secretary Xiao Zhu to first find the three low-income households who really couldn't do the hard work.
This thing has no technical content, just pick the fruit slowly, roast it slowly and process it slowly...there is no rush.
Otherwise, if you find a strong laborer and come down here in one day, all the fruits will be picked! This thing is not calculated on a daily basis.
"Come on, come on, come and get the gloves, basket, hook, and scissors. Don't try to save trouble by using your own. I bought these gloves specially to make them thicker. Also, everyone should wear a coat, otherwise we will not be responsible for any injuries... "
Although there were only three people, Song Sancheng still shouted with great vigor, as if there were three to two hundred people in front of him.
The old lady next to him glanced at him: "Isn't this in vain? Who in our village wears short clothes when going up the mountain?"
He slowly took the gloves and looked at them over and over again: "What gloves? The calluses on our hands are thicker than yours."
As soon as he said this, someone immediately laughed: "Mrs. Chen, you are not afraid of pricking me. I saw it when I went to the mountain yesterday. The thorns of the golden cherry tree are long and short, and they are close together! Look at these gloves. In other words, if the palm is thickened and it is useless, it is another matter.”
The people in the village were laughing and joking, and Mrs. Chen was also puzzled: "Chen San, why are you going up the mountain in such a hot weather?"
Chen San sighed: "I heard that people now like to eat young chestnuts. My son saw someone selling chestnut bags on Douyin yesterday. He planned to see how old my chestnuts were and whether he could pick them off and sell them in the city. That's it. Li Bao, how much do you think it is?”
How many?
Everyone, including Song Sancheng, pricked up their ears—
“Live broadcast on Douyin, the green chestnut bag costs 59 yuan for five pounds with free shipping.” After all, tender chestnuts cannot be stored as they will become stale overnight, so the chestnut bag must be shipped.
Of course, this was Chen San’s guess. He had no idea that some people were interested in the cute and fresh chestnut buns!
After all, when chestnuts are knocked every year, this thing is smashed down on the face. Not only is it not refreshing, it is also bloody! It's all about the helmet to save your life.
institutions!
Everyone's heart was moved.
This works out to 100 yuan per pound!
And I wish every household had a chestnut orchard. Even if I haven’t taken care of it for several years, it still produces a lot of fruit every year. It’s a business without capital!
Besides, that chestnut bag weighs so much! Just buy it like this, how many chestnuts are only five kilograms?
"But we don't understand that live broadcast, how to sell it? And don't we grow it everywhere? It's not uncommon. People would scold it for selling it so expensive. It seems that the ones sold directly in urban areas have tender chestnuts without chestnut bags... "
Let's not talk about whether we can make money. The round trip fare is 40, this, this, this...
“There is no way to make money.”
Looking at the branch secretary Xiao Zhu who was having breakfast: ...I mean, whether you can make money or not, you should give it a try first!
She shook her head and sighed, then turned around to see Ulan tying a plastic sheet around her waist to prevent punctures, while looking at her with a smile: "People from our village often have trouble opening their mouths to wipe their faces when they go out to sell things. Besides, this tender girl The chestnuts can only be sold for a few days, and we have to go to the city. Everyone may not know the way, so they must be thinking about it. "Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, sighed: "I know."
…
And on the mountain.
Old Mrs. Chen disliked the inconvenience of the thick gloves, so she grabbed Jin Yingzi with one hand and said, "Ouch!"
She retracted her hand angrily: "Why are there so many thorns?"
Chen Laosan next to her laughed at her: "Look, if you don't believe me when I tell you there are too many thorns, you must be at a loss!"
But Mrs. Chen glanced at him: "You came here yesterday and saw so many thorns, why didn't you pay back the price today? Five yuan a pound is too little. Look at this, there are not many fruits! "
“Isn’t that quite a few?” Mrs. Li next to her had already cut out several pieces quickly—
This thing has a lot of thorns, and gloves may not be able to completely protect it. But they were all used to farm work, so they figured it out at a glance.
First use a hook to pull the branches over, then use gloves to gently pinch the fruit, then click with the scissors - it's done.
“Look, this fruit is pretty good when it’s not dried. One pound won’t cost you much. Maybe you can earn a hundred a day. Alas, it’s just too little.”
One hundred a day, I guess that’s just one day’s income. If you pick any more, there will be no fruit.
“Then I guess not—I’m not as quick as you.”
Old Mrs. Chen felt even more uncomfortable: "You said, the richer you are, the more you search for money! Look at Song Youde, his third son built such a big building in his house, and he asked us to work for just this in one day. Don't say goodbye Yes, you don’t need skills to weave straw mats? You only get 70 for one bed a day..."
"That's what you said!" Old Mrs. Li was unhappy: "Didn't your son also buy a house in the city? Why didn't he say that he would give you 70 yuan a day? Didn't you and your wife pay for the house payment?"
“I can earn 70 yuan a day just by sitting down and moving my hands. Song Youde also said that I can do it for several months... If I don’t know how to make up, do you think I can run fast?”
"Besides, planting rice seedlings costs 300 a day, so you have to be able to do it! It's not like the old Song family can't find anyone."
Old Mrs. Chen was choked and lost her face. She was very unconvinced at this moment: "Look at you, even if you say so many good things, his family can't give you a salary increase..."
Before Old Mrs. Li spoke, Old Man Chen laughed: "Sister, it's just a day to sit at home, and you can still make money by doing some work. Pick fruits today, clean them tomorrow, dry them the day after tomorrow... No, you can make money in three days A few hundred yuan for one month’s living expenses, right?”
“Now we can’t even walk two miles without breathing, and no one wants us to work. Why aren’t you satisfied?”
"that is!"
Mrs. Li also quickly hooked a branch with her hands and feet: "Besides, this is a three-day job, but you have done a good job, and it will definitely be indispensable in the future."
“You, stop being so nagging, or you won’t have a chance to earn 50 yuan next time.”
Mrs. Chen:…
She just has such a mouth—why, she doesn’t want people to say bad things!
Just do it!
Golden cherry blossoms, according to the information, an adult man can weigh dozens of kilograms a day picking wild ones. The Tantan family still grows them in large areas, and it is not a laborious job. So compared to picking fruits, I think the picking price is 5 yuan per kilogram, which is still okay.
Good night first, my cousin is coming to the house tonight and I am a little pressed for time.
