Speaking of golden cherry, Guo Dong is really full of resentment!
300 per pound was a whopping price, and she didn’t even bargain (she actually tried but failed, after all, it was a seller’s market).
What's the result
Just after the deal was made, Song Tan was busy selling peaches and there were not enough people in the village to take care of him.
After the peaches were finally sold out, the old men and women in the village also took scissors and gloves to collect the golden berries... To be honest, it was not easy, after all, it was actually the flowering season of golden berries, and the vines of this thing climbed up layer by layer and spread everywhere...
The old men and women were so busy squinting their eyes to find the early-ripening fruits among the flowers that their work efficiency was dropping again and again.
But when I weighed it, it was less than 40 kilograms, and it was still fresh fruit! After removing the thorns, splitting it, removing the seeds, and drying it, I would be thankful if it could weigh 10 kilograms.
This process took a long time because it was the first time for everyone to handle this thing and everyone was a little unfamiliar with it.
Although twelve pounds can be used to make many medicines, Guo Dong's medicine is continuous, and I don't know how many orders have been accumulated during this period! Don't underestimate a man's enthusiasm and willingness to spend money!
Ten kilograms... How many customers can ten kilograms be enough for
At this moment, she burst into tears when she mentioned this: "Uncle, 300 per pound, at least let me process it separately - even if you use a small oven to bake it, it will come out faster than it is now, right
Now what
Sparse golden-red golden berries are scattered on the ground, all relying on the sun to dry them - it only takes a few hours to dry them, but it takes several days in the sun!
300 yuan, is it really not worth it
Guo Dong thought with some grievance: If this purchase price is released, medicinal material dealers from all over the country will block him from leaving the house!
But the problem is... now... she is a humble buyer.
Song Sancheng: …
He hesitated, after all, he was not the boss: "Well... the sun... strong yang energy! Essence!"
Guo Dong was speechless: You were speaking expert language just now, and now you are talking about Yang Qi
She said seriously:
"Lard nourishes the body and replenishes qi, clears away heat and detoxifies, and is high in vitamins. It is indeed a good thing passed down by our ancestors. Uncle, don't listen to what the marketing accounts say."
"The sugar content of golden cherries is high, and the sugar cannot be dried in the sun, so the shelf life will be much shorter. The dried ones will be drier and more beautiful."
Then there was a sigh: "Uncle, this is me, first of all, I don't care about the appearance and secondly, I don't care about long-term preservation... Otherwise, how can you do this golden cherry business!"
But it doesn’t make money anyway!
Song Sancheng muttered: I hired three people to go up the mountain, and the labor cost was 300 yuan a day. I also asked them to handle it. Because the quantity is small, the labor cost is not much, a total of 150 yuan.
But these 40 kilograms of golden rosa can be sold for 3,000 yuan for 10 kilograms of dried fruit, and the labor cost is 450 yuan...
After all this hard work, he only earned more than 2,000 yuan. It’s not that Song Sancheng looks down on a few thousand dollars, but the business he runs is really not decent!
This reminded him that it was a rare day that he was at home. Just as his seventh cousin wanted to slaughter a pig, Guo Dong came to talk about medicinal materials. Neither of them was easy to deal with!
Forget it!
He picked up the carrying pole and said, "Tan Tan is in charge at home, I'm going to go get the water chestnuts!"
…
Song Sancheng picked up the bucket and ran away, refusing to deal with these things at home, while his seventh cousin took his seventh grandmother to the mountain for a walk unwillingly, and he missed the pigs more and more.
However, Grandma Qi glared at him: "You are so capable! Who doesn't know that lard tastes good? Who else wants to kill the pig before it grows up like you? If this happened decades ago, the whole village would have scolded you for not knowing how to live!"
She looked at the pig and saw that it was in great spirits and would surely continue to grow!
Song Tan didn't know any of this. He took his men for a walk on the mountain. Looking at the four men who were sweating profusely but kept walking, he thought that they were much better than Wu Lei!
Do all agricultural students have this physique
I don't know if their practice labor is expensive? If it's not expensive...
She stared at Tang Xiaodong and thought to herself that she would go find this most active person and ask around first. If that didn't work out, she could try working during the summer or winter vacations.
Professor Song didn't notice the capitalist's little tricks. He gestured with the tablet and said, "Here... the slope is gentle here, and there are not many plants growing. There are either a lot of rock layers underneath, or it's barren... Mark it and make it a rest area for the processing area."
"Teacher, I think this location is also good. It's higher and convenient for monitoring the people below... In addition, if we build a road here to connect to the paddy fields below, we can install threshers, oil presses, and flour mills to facilitate direct operation..."
This is Qi Lin.
“It’s possible here, but the place is too small. The processing area and rest area need to be separated, and a large amount of flat space needs to be reserved for drying... The cost will be much higher.
Tang Xiaodong also followed up with the analysis.
Yan Ran came over and gestured: "We should also plan a piece of open space here. The villagers have to provide meals when they work, and Song Tan also said that he would hire a chef. If it's not busy, there may be only a few workers for these 300 acres. If it's busy, it will probably be a hundred or so..."
Several people were sweating and discussing heatedly. Song Tan felt a little reluctant: "The sun is high, why don't we go back and discuss it?"
Professor Song didn't even raise his head: "No hurry, we are wearing hats, it's only nine o'clock, it's okay."
The temperature is already 37 at nine o'clock!
Song Tan had no choice but to use his trump card: "Want to eat tender chestnuts? I'll take you to pick them, and by the way, see where the black fungus and white fungus will expand. And my dad went to fish for water chestnuts, he should be back by now, right?"
Professor Song: …
He immediately turned off the tablet and said, "Let's go. We really can't stand in the sun. The tablet is too hot to touch."
…
Song Sancheng did catch a lot of water chestnuts.
Of course, this is not difficult, I just stepped into the water and used hooks to hook up a bunch of vines. Anyway, there are so many around, so I don't mind just hooking them. Look, I caught a load in just a few tries.
He rested for a while, then reached out and grabbed a coin-sized water chestnut. It was green and shiny, but because it was still small, the thorns were not so fierce and hard. He only needed to bite it open with his teeth.
Then break the shell with your hands, and the white tender meat inside will be revealed.
I stared at it for a while—it’s really small!
The shelled rice is a one-yuan coin, and the water chestnut rice is only fifty cents.
Ouch!
That one is tender, crispy and sweet!
Song Sancheng felt very happy instantly. He quickly reached out and grabbed another one... and then another one... and then another one... and the last one... This time it was really the last one... Water chestnuts were not worth much, so it would not matter if he ate another one...
It wasn't until his face felt hot from the sun that he came to his senses - he had just turned the pile of vines in the basket into a mess, and his stomach was full again.
He felt inexplicably guilty.
At this moment, he carried the pole on his shoulders and went back swiftly, thinking: Should I plant some lotus roots next year? Lotus roots stewed with pork ribs and lotus seed rice are also delicious!
