There is a kind of gambling in the frontier. The vastness of the frontier is not something that people in ordinary provinces can feel, nor can people in cities understand.
Not to mention the southern border, in the endless Gobi Desert, a single person is no different from a grain of sand here.
The northern frontier is slightly better. In many places, far away from the snowy mountains and rivers, there are large tracts of dry fields that cannot be seen at a glance.
There is no way to turn this kind of land into irrigated farmland. The good thing is that it is flat. It is definitely not the kind of land on loess slopes or Sanchuan. It is as ravaged as land that has been deliberately washed away by children peeing.
Are there large tracts of land like this in the northern border that cannot be cultivated because there is no water? To be honest, these lands are useless, there are too many border lands.
This kind of land slowly becomes a paradise for gambling.
No one knows whether the weather will be good this year, so farmers don't like to plant this kind of land, but the area of this kind of land is too large. There are many, many people who contract with farmers, with prices ranging from 30 to 50 per acre.
Then we contract for thousands of acres at a time, and after sowing the seeds, we don’t need to worry about anything else, not even weeding or chemical fertilizers, not even soil and fertilizer. When harvesting, the large harvester Kang Maiying goes directly in to collect it. There is no need to store it yourself. The grain dealer buys it on the field.
As long as there is plenty of rain this year, you can make a fortune in one go. The food grown in this kind of land has more plant fiber, and the flour ground out is particularly chewy.
There was an advertisement for instant noodles on TV. The noodles looked like springs. In fact, the flour produced from this kind of land is just like this. A bowl of slivers, dripping, and extremely smooth.
However, once the rain fails this year, especially if the rain in spring lasts for a few days, you will lose all your money.
Moreover, with the development of large-scale agriculture in the frontier areas, some dominating second-tier dealers gradually emerged.
In fact, it's just a bargain. Of course, these dominant players dare not speculate on major cash crops and staple foods. For example, if a big guy dares to dominate the market, he will not be breaking the law.
If you dare to speculate, if you release a little from the national war preparedness cold storage, you will lose everything.
In the early years, some people were speculating on mutton in the frontier. As a result, the people in the frontier ate delicious mutton for most of that year.
Therefore, these people just hype up some marginal ingredients. Even if these ingredients are not available, people can still live as usual, but they just lack a little taste.
For example, mashed garlic is fierce and ginger is your army. Of course, the level of this land tyrant is very high. It is said that the starting level is based on the unit of 100 million.
As for the border areas, the scale is not that big, and they also dominate, such as sheep skins and sheep intestines.
In 10 years, because of Shaw Manor, many people in the surrounding area followed the trend and planted lavender.
Why is China’s lavender not famous? First of all, this thing has no mass base in China. To be honest, Chinese people don’t really like this stuff because it is too strong. Many people sneeze when they smell it.
But Europeans and Americans like it, and even the essential oil of this thing is called liquid gold in Europe and America.
Enough is enough imagination. How much body odor needs to be suppressed by this thing?
In the past, no one was the dominant player in lavender. Firstly, the output was too small to be profitable, and secondly, they were afraid of losing money. If foreigners don't want this thing, it will really fall into their own hands.
As a result, unexpectedly, the lavender production abroad decreased this year. Now, the dominant players were excited and could make some money. So I hurried to the farm.
When I inquired about it, I found out that the Shao Hua family had purchased all the essential oils.
Can this be tolerated?
They think that the old farmer has no channels and little funds. If they stretch him for a few weeks, they can eat him clean to the bone.
Therefore, the big dealers led the small dealers and began to reduce prices uniformly.
This thing is not a traditional crop of China, and the country will not interfere at all. And such a small amount is too small for the country.
But for an ordinary family, it is a disaster.
…
When people grow old, most of them love money and children. This is the case for Zhang Fan and his father-in-law.
Although Zhang Fan's income is quite good in their eyes.
But the two old men still had ideas.
For example, Shao Hua's father felt that his daughter was no longer working, so he was thinking about how to make some money so that his daughter would not be too dependent on his son-in-law.
This is not to say that the son-in-law is not good. This can be regarded as a natural sense of crisis among Chinese people.
As for Zhang Fan's father, he actually had the same idea as Zhang Fan's father-in-law.
The son now has a family, but his old girl is far away in the devil's capital, and the girl's family is so pitiful that she doesn't even have a place to stay.
And after Zhang Fan got a house in Magic City, the old man felt that he could do it and buy a house for his old girl.
Once they hit it off, the two old men decided to buy it.
When the farmers planted lavender, everyone was full of confidence, but looking at the mountains of lavender, everyone felt uneasy.
It's safe to be safe. As soon as the two old men have the intention to acquire, there is no need to say anything. Everyone is more active than the other. Because I haven’t grown this thing in many years, I am starting to worry about whether it can be sold.
Anyway, Lao Shao is a farmer, and his son-in-law is also the director of the city hospital, so he is not afraid that his head will run away. Therefore, everyone sold them the essential oil debt.
I really feel sorry for the parents in the world.
If it weren't for their children, they would all have a salary. Although they couldn't eat and drink a lot, they still wouldn't have any pressure on survival.
At the beginning, the two old men were preparing to make a fortune. However, as barrels of essential oils were brought into their home, the two old men became a little uneasy.
Then he hurriedly went to find the second-hand dealer who bought essential oils.
As a result, the second dealer cut the price in half. After asking many questions, the price of each one was lower than the previous one. It was really a bolt from the blue.
Getting old, it suddenly makes the old man's heart feel heavy.
When the two of them settled the accounts, it turned out to be millions.
To be honest, the two old men have lost a lot of weight these days. I really suffered too.
Not to mention the position of a parent, I have to let my old wife complain every day, and I have to watch Shao Hua run around in the world.
Really, it was too late for the old man to cry.
"All sold to France." Shao Hua and Zhang Fan were talking in the bedroom.
"Isn't it possible to digest it on the border?" Zhang Fan asked in confusion.
Because there are advertisements for lavender at stations and airports. Isn’t it very popular?
"Hey, less than 10% of it is digested in the country, and it's all used by the Uighurs. The Han people can only buy some dried flowers to make pillows."
"Oh, so that's it. I'll think of a way. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Zhang Fan thought to himself and asked a few bosses at Bird Market to see if they had any opportunities.
