Chapter 543 543. Business is hard to do
Speaking of Jin Yingzi, Guo Dong is really full of resentment!
The sky-high price of 300 per pound, she didn’t even bargain (actually she tried but failed, it’s a seller’s market after all).
What is the result?
Just after the conversation, Song Tan was busy selling peaches, and few people in the village could take care of him.
Finally, the peaches were sold out, and the old man and lady in the village took back the golden cherry blossoms with scissors and gloves... To be honest, it was not easy. After all, it is actually the flowering period of the golden cherry blossoms, and the vines of this thing are climbing up and down. The stack is spreading everywhere...
Old men and women can’t wait to squint their eyes to look for this early-ripening fruit in the flowers, and their work efficiency is simply dropping again and again.
But one weighs it, and a full dozen weighs less than 40 kilograms. It’s still fresh fruit! After removing the thorns, cutting open the seeds and drying them, I would be thankful to be able to weigh ten kilograms.
This process lasted for a long time, because it was the first time for everyone to deal with this thing, and they were always a little unfamiliar.
Although twelve kilograms can be used to prepare many medicines, Guo Dong’s medicine is continuous. During this time, I have accumulated countless orders! Don’t underestimate a man’s enthusiasm and willingness to spend money!
Ten kilograms...How many customers are ten kilograms enough?
At this moment, she burst into tears when she mentioned this: "Uncle, 300 per pound, at least let me handle it alone - even if you use a small stove to bake it, it will come out faster than now, right?
What now?
Scattered golden-red golden cherry blossoms are scattered on the ground, and they are all dried by the sun - it only takes a few hours to dry, but the sun takes several days!
300 yuan, is it so unworthy?
Guo Dong thought with grievance: If this purchase price were released, medicinal material merchants from all over the world would be able to block themselves from getting out!
The problem is...nowadays...she is a humble buyer^.
Song Sancheng:…
He hesitated, after all, he was not in charge: "Then what...sunburned...yang energy! Essence!"
Guo Dong couldn't help but be speechless: Just now you were speaking expert language, now you're talking about Yang Qi?
She said seriously:
“Lard nourishes the body and replenishes qi, clears heat and detoxifies, and has a high vitamin content. It is really a good thing passed down by our ancestors. Uncle, don’t listen to the marketing accounts.”
“Cherry blossoms have a heavy sugar content. The sugar cannot be dried in the sun, and the storage time will be much shorter. The dryness will be better and more beautiful.”
Then there was a sigh: "Uncle, this is me. Firstly, I don’t want to keep it in good condition, and secondly, I don’t want to keep it for a long time...otherwise, how can I do this golden cherry business?"
But it doesn’t make any money at all!
Song Sancheng muttered: I asked three people to go up the mountain. The labor cost is 300 a day. I also asked them to handle it. Because the quantity is small, the labor cost is not much, a total of 150.
But these forty kilograms of golden cherry seeds and ten kilograms of dried fruit can be sold for 3,000 yuan, and the labor cost is 450 yuan...
After working hard for so long, he earned more than 2,000 yuan. It’s not that Song Sancheng doesn’t despise a few thousand yuan now, it’s just that the business is not doing well!
This reminded him that it was rare that he was at home today. The seventh cousin wanted to kill a pig, and Guo Dong came to talk about medicinal materials. It was not easy to deal with either of them!
Forget it!
He picked up the burden and said, "Tantan is in charge at home, I'm going to fish for water chestnuts!"
…
However, Grandma Qi glared at him: "It's all you can do! Who doesn't know how delicious lard is? Who wants to kill the pig before it grows up like you? A few decades ago, the whole village would have scolded you for not knowing how to live!"
She looked at it, the pig was in good spirits now, and it would definitely grow longer in the future!
Song Tan didn't know this at all. Now he led the people around the mountain. Seeing the four people sweating profusely but not stopping, he thought to himself that this was much better than Wu Lei! Do all agricultural students have this physique?
I don’t know if their practical labor is expensive? If it wasn't expensive...
Her eyes were fixed on Tang Xiaodong, and she thought that she would go back and find the most lively person to inquire first. If that didn't work, she could work during the summer vacation or during the winter vacation!
Professor Song didn't pay attention to the capitalist's little thoughts. He was holding a tablet and gesturing: "Here... the **** here is gentle, and there are no plants growing. Either there are many rock layers underneath, or it is barren... Mark it, and tentatively decide to use it as a rest area for the processing area." ”
"Teacher, I think this location is good. It's higher, so it's convenient to monitor what's underneath... Also, look, if a road is built here to connect to the paddy fields below, a threshing machine, oil press, and flour grinding machine will be installed, making it easier to operate directly. …”
This is Qi Lin.
“It’s possible here, but the space is too small. The processing area and rest area must be separated, and a large amount of flat space must be left for drying...the cost will be much higher.
Tang Xiaodong also followed the analysis.
Yan Ran went over to make a gesture: "There should be an open space planned here. All work in the village requires a meal. Song Tan also said that he would invite additional chefs. If the workers of these 300 acres are not busy, there may only be a few. If we are busy, there will probably be a hundred or ten people..."
The people were sweating profusely, and the discussion was so heated that Song Tan couldn't bear it anymore: "The sun is getting hot, why don't we go back to discuss it?"
Professor Song didn’t even raise his head: “Don’t worry, we’re wearing hats. It’s only nine o’clock, so it’s okay.”
The temperature is already thirty-seven at nine o'clock!
Song Tan had no choice but to use his trump card: "Do you want to eat tender chestnuts? I'll take you to cut them, and let's see where the black fungus and white fungus will expand in time. My dad went to fish for water chestnuts, and he should go back now. ?”
Professor Song:…
He immediately closed the tablet and said, "Let's go. We really can't hold it against the sun. The tablet will be hot to the touch."
…
Song Sancheng did catch a lot of water chestnuts.
Of course, this is not difficult. You just step into the water and use hooks to hook piles of vines. Anyway, there are so many around, so I don’t feel bad about picking them up casually. No, I caught a load in just a few strokes.
He rested for a while, stretched out his hand and grabbed a coin-sized water chestnut. It was bright green, but because it was still small, the thorn was not so ferocious and hard. It only takes one gentle bite of the teeth to open the gap.
Tear it open with your hands, and the shell will open, revealing the tender meat inside.
I stared at it for a while—it’s really small!
The shell is a one-yuan coin, and the water chestnut rice is only 50 cents. Put it in your mouth again—
Ouch!
That one is tender, crispy and sweet!
Song Sancheng felt happy instantly. I quickly stretched out my hand and grabbed another one...and another one...and another one...the last one...this time it was really the last one...the water chestnuts are not worth anything and it doesn't matter if I eat another one...
He didn't come back to his senses until his face was hot from the sun. Well, the pile of vines in the load he just carried was messed up by himself, and his stomach was full again.
He felt guilty for no reason.
At this moment, I put the pole on my shoulders and went back neatly. I was still thinking: Should I not plant more lotus roots next year? The lotus root stewed pork ribs and lotus seed rice are also delicious!
Make up for last night's work. Good morning. It was past nine o'clock when I woke up today... I'm sorry, I guess I was tired after sitting on the bus for a long time yesterday. I am the kind of person who gets very tired when riding in a car (probably because the motion sickness has improved, I don’t vomit very much but I feel tired).
