Zhou Qingfeng urged Magnolia to return to her family's home during the day. Before dark, her father brought the family's only household appliance and rushed to Mawang Village. Zhou Qingfeng slept during the day, and got up at night to see this old farm man with pleated faces.
Old man He saw Zhou Qingfeng and was taken aback. He didn't know what to call him. He sat silently on a chair in the hall with a cigarette. The farm’s own tobacco leaves are dried and shredded, and the paper is cut from newspapers, rolled up slowly with rough hands, and smoked brightly and darkly after the fire is lit.
A few years ago, the old man's son-in-law was caught upright because of his dirty hands and feet. When Yulan heard the news and found someone, her husband had been taken to the execution ground. If you don’t say anything, it also makes the family's reputation ruined and can't look up.
Magnolia was a woman's house, and she couldn't live with her children, so she agreed to Zhou Qingfeng to rent her own house. I know that this kid is very wild. After living for half a month, she has to instruct her to find a way to sell vegetables. The quantity is still very large.
"You don't have to worry about my vegetables coming from the right way. There is no nearby village that has so many vegetables to steal. But don't you ask me how I came? Just take it from other villages."
In order to prevent it from happening, Zhou Qingfeng must speak harshly at the beginning. He sits on the hall with a magnificent sword, and his aura is different. Magnolia stared angrily, annoyed that he scared her father.
The old man smoked a cigarette, and asked for a long time: "How many dishes are there for sale?"
"Fifteen baskets a day." Zhou Qingfeng kicked the basket under his feet, containing at least a hundred catties of various vegetables. The reason why he brought out the vegetables first was also a temptation. There were bigger peanuts behind.
"So much?" The old man also didn't believe it.
In order to make money, it is common for farmers to sell vegetables they grow at home. But they are generally sold nearby, and the quantity is not large. Even if someone specializes in purchasing in the countryside, it is impossible to have them every day. Among them, it is time-consuming, laborious and very hard, and most people can't do it.
"You have to find a car to transport it, whether it is a tractor or a small truck, otherwise you can't transport that much by manpower. If you can't sell it in the county, go to the city. Don't be afraid to spend money. I can advance the initial expenses.
The key to this is not to let too many people know about it. Once the secret is leaked, I will sell it for someone else, and you will have no money. "Zhou Qingfeng feels that his consideration is still more thoughtful. But he can't walk away, and someone needs to implement the details.
Magnolia said quickly: "Finding a car is very expensive, so it's better to find someone to pick and sell it, which can save a lot of money."
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes squinted, only one word, "Stupid."
Magnolia was so angry that she wanted to scratch him.
The old man coughed and said, "It's definitely impossible to find a car. If there are more than a dozen baskets, the tractor can't fit, so you have to find a small four-wheel. But the small four-wheel is hard to find. It costs fifty to sixty dollars for a trip to the county. , Maybe it’s hundreds, it’s definitely not cost-effective."
So expensive? Zhou Qingfeng thought that the current transportation fee was very cheap-he didn't know at all, the current vehicle transportation cost is extremely high, and the cost of Dongfeng trucks for 100 kilometers to pull the cargo is thousands.
Old man He continued: “I’m really afraid of people knowing about this. It’s not safe to ship it to the county. It’s better to ship it directly to the city. I think the carrots, eggplants, and peppers are grown very well. , Can also sell for a bit more expensive."
Zhou Qingfeng asked, "Isn't it farther to go to the city?"
Old man He smiled and said: "So you can't use a car, you have to use a boat. There is a small river in our village that can go directly to the Tang River in Tianyang City. It's convenient to go down the river."
River transport
Zhou Qingfeng really didn't consider this crop. River transport is indeed cheap. He immediately thought of the flash floods that had washed away his villager group. There was indeed a large river flowing near Mawang Village.
"Is the river luck good?"
"It's easy to walk. The river in our village is not big or small, and no barrage was built along the way. At most, there are many bridges across the river, but smaller fishing boats can pass through the bottom of the bridge. This saves freight. After all, dozens of dollars.
In fact, you can walk from the river at the entrance of your village. It's just tiring to run like this, and the family's farm work is delayed, so if you don't make much money, you will lose money. "
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Qingfeng. If he hadn't heard that this kid had made a few hundred yuan and rented his daughter's house, he would not bother to come. The thing about selling vegetables is only to be bragging.
Only when he arrived at Mawang Village, Zhou Qingfeng took out several baskets of fresh vegetables. Each basket is worth a hundred catties, and there are all kinds of vegetables in it. He also said that the He family can take 30% of the gross profit with 37% of the money earned.
He Laohan would rather believe that Zhou Qingfeng collected these dishes from various villages, which would cost it anyway. The three achievements of directly taking away the Maori are very impressive.
"If you agree, I can now give you a few baskets of vegetables for free. You can come to my place to transport the vegetables every day, and settle the bill once a week. You will not lose money." Zhou Qingfeng offered no terms. It is not rich, but generous.
In the hall of the room, the father and daughter looked at each other a few times, feeling that this fact was dreamy. Zhou Qingfeng's words are too exaggerated, which is equivalent to selling them on credit, as if sending money home. But now it seems to be more and more like that, which makes people feel excited.
In the 1990s, prices began to skyrocket, and the price of grain rose from more than one dime to one jin, but the income from farming in rural areas declined. Now that the wave of migrant workers has not yet begun, the lives of farmers are worse. If there is an opportunity to make money, no one wants to let it go.
A basket of vegetables can cost a hundred kilos, and even the cheapest radish can be sold for a few dollars. If it is fifteen baskets, it is dozens of dollars. Even if it only earns 30%, it is at least 15 yuan in net income.
This is money made in a day. Not four or five hundred in a month
The old man kept his head suffocating and smoking, but after doing some calculations in his heart, he realized that he couldn't count. Does it make four hundred or five hundred? Even if it's a hundred, it's incredible!
There are also many small merchants and hawkers now. Self-employed people are thinking of ways to make money. The current society is very chaotic. As long as there is money to be made, there are people doing murder and arson. What's more, this is just running a transportation to sell a vegetable.
For such a good business, let alone Zhou Qingfeng's special urge to keep it secret, the old man himself will keep the secret, and never let people know it-as long as this business is done for a few months, the bachelor son in the family can marry a wife.
The old man looked at his heart as still water, but his heart began to churn. He glanced at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "If you are willing, I will first send these baskets of vegetables to sell. Tomorrow I will find someone to get a boat, maybe I can get a motor boat, and the freight will not exceed 20. "
Water transportation is much cheaper than land transportation.
Speaking of the word'twenty', the cigarette in the old man's hand trembled. The current low per capita income in rural areas is unimaginable for young people in the new century. Many people earn less than 100 yuan a year. He didn't seem to put'twenty' in his eyes.
Zhou Qingfeng felt that it would be best to get a motor boat, with a lot of loading and fast speed, and the freight cost of 20 yuan was not a problem. He didn't say much, the existing four or five baskets were given away for nothing, and Old Man Lin was allowed to take them away.
"To be honest, I don't have enough baskets now. Next time you have to bring your own baskets, we will change our clothes." Zhou Qingfeng didn't unload the goods, so he gave the dishes on the cart as a gift. This gift is equivalent to sending dozens of dollars.
Every basket was full, and the old man inspected one by one and said in a deep voice, “Don’t grow so many radishes and sweet potatoes in the future. These two are worthless. A variety of peppers and garlic are expensive.”
Is there such a way
Zhou Qingfeng immediately responded: "Okay, grow whatever is expensive in the future."
There was a way to make money by accident, and the 60-year-old man was very excited. He turned on his only'household appliances' flashlight, and was about to push the cart home overnight. Magnolia was afraid that her father would have trouble walking at night, so she helped to shine a flashlight on the road.
Zhou Qingfeng returned to his vegetable field naturally, preparing to revise the planting area of cash crops. He even thought about reducing the planting area of peanuts and changing to a variety of peppers.
After all, harvesting peanuts is too troublesome. To pull them out of the soil, you have to wash off the mud with water. After the peppers are planted, they continue to grow, making it easy to pick. But thinking about the super high yield of peanuts and the price of edible oil, Zhou Qingfeng gave up this idea.
At this end, the old man and Magnolia are pushing the cart on the country dirt road home. At night, the road is dark, and you can't see your fingers, if you don't have a flashlight, you can't see anything.
Pushing halfway, the old man suddenly asked his daughter: "Her, did that kid bully you?"
"Dad?!" Magnolia exclaimed, but she didn't know what to refute. When someone asks this question, she will turn her face. But when her father asked, he could only lower his head, not speaking in anger, shy and annoyed.
The old man was silent, with a bottom in his heart, and continued to push the car. The father and daughter were embarrassed and pushed a distance. The old man sighed, "I'm young, you can't be a widow. It is too hard to be a widow."
Magnolia was silent and silent.
The old man continued: "Don't care about the rumors. If you can make money, other people will only envy you. As for the kid just now, it's okay to be bullied by him. But he is not like an honest person, you can't help him. You have to have it. Do you understand what Dad meant?"
Magnolia only felt her skin hot, and after a long while she hesitated, "Understood."
