As a half-grown boy, when you are away from home for ten days and a half, it is necessary to keep in touch.
Youyu was very generous. When he came to settle the hotel accommodation expenses the next day, he also gave Yourui a Nokia 6290 that cost more than 2,000 yuan.
"This is an early college gift for you. Remember to tell grandma that you are safe every day."
"Thank you, second sister. Thank you, second sister. I promise to call grandma every day, every day!"
You Rui looked at the chubby flip phone and felt excited. This was a new model that was only released last month, and not many students in Beijing had used it.
Among the friends who traveled together, he was the only one who didn't have a mobile phone. After paying the tour fee, he still had a thousand yuan left.
The second sister is really his timely help!
Timely rain. You Yuhun didn't care about his brother's gratitude. The "Lao Youjia" tomatoes grown in greenhouses in the village were already on the market.
There are cooperations between "Qingjiang Mosong" and "Meixiang" cherry radish, and vegetable farmers have signed underwriting contracts with fruit and vegetable companies early on.
The package price is 4 yuan/jin.
One shed after another, no matter the size or shape of the tomatoes produced, as long as they are nine ripe, they are picked and sent to the fruit and vegetable company to be sold and harvested immediately.
The unified selling prices for those sold through Princess Pea Fruit and Vegetable Company are: super-grade fruits 6 yuan/jin, first-grade fruits 4 yuan/jin, and second-grade fruits 3 yuan/jin.
According to the size and appearance of tomatoes, 30% of super fruits, 50% of first-class fruits, and 20% of second-class fruits can be selected per acre.
Star-rated hotels and hotels prefer large, ruddy and round-shaped super fruits, which can be used to make fruit gift boxes.
The yield of first-grade fruits is large, and the purchase cost is a bit cheaper than last year. It is convenient for making fruit plates, eating them raw, making soups and cooking.
For example, Boss Xie of the Tomato Omelette Noodle House only wants the maturity and taste of a tomato. The cost-effective second-grade fruit is most suitable for his family.
With such a classification, the purchaser is happy, the vegetable farmers are satisfied, and the fruit and vegetable company can earn 2,000 yuan per acre of tomatoes.
It is also a weekly settlement, and the fruit and vegetable company issues invoices.
A win-win situation for all three parties!
I just finished my tomato business, and the seeds of "Qingjiang mosong" in my family's five acres of land are ripe.
Because I was rushing to save seeds from the beginning, I only planted a thousand plants per acre.
The land is soft and fertile, and the planting is sparse. The stems and leaves of each vegetable in her family are thicker than those in other families.
In order to prevent cross-planting, before the main sprouts bloomed, Grandpa You also asked people to return the five acres of land and set up a quarantine zone.
You Dayou and his production team were busy cutting off the dried vegetable stalks, kneading the seed husks, and removing impurities before air-drying and drying them in the sun.
After screening by the quality team, the final selection of plump, shiny black seeds totaled about 500 kilograms.
Five hundred pounds of seeds = 10,000 acres of seedlings.
But Grandpa You was very worried, "We only plant three hundred acres a year. If we plant it for three to five years, the seeds will lose their activity, wouldn't it be a waste?"
“Grandpa, don’t worry, the planting area of mosong will at least double by the end of this year!
Although the seed bank cannot be repaired this year, you can still buy a low-temperature storage cabinet for seeds.
I heard that as long as the temperature of this kind of storage cabinet is controlled within the range of 0°C to 10°C and the moisture content of the seeds does not exceed 8%, there will be no problem in storing them for ten to eight years. "
You Yu has arranged for Geng Jie, the purchasing manager, to go on a business trip to the northern agricultural machinery province.
"Well, you have to buy it no matter how expensive it is. The little Beibei pumpkin will mature soon. The task of storing seeds this year will be arduous."
Seeing that his granddaughter had made all the arrangements, the old man went to inspect the pumpkin patch with peace of mind.
"Little Beibei" pumpkins have a relatively long flowering period. The earliest pumpkins to set fruit have almost hard rinds and small pumpkins that have just been pollinated at the top.
In order to ensure the quality of the pumpkins, each vine is strictly limited to seven melons. If the vines are not strong enough, only five melons are left at most.
Because the first early-maturing pumpkin was to be used for seed saving, You Yu was reluctant to pick a few for a taste.
As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the “Lao Youjia” tomatoes grown in 200 acres of greenhouses in Yougoubian Village have entered a peak production period.
At 17:00 the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, You Yu was handing out rice dumplings and festival expenses to company employees.
Ms. He Yongzhi, the president of the Shancheng Hotpot Association, brought a female assistant in her twenties for a sudden visit:
"Hahaha, Xiaoyou, you won't blame me for coming uninvited today, right?"
"We are here to welcome you as a distinguished guest!" You Yu welcomed him calmly, not feeling embarrassed at all about working in a company that built his own house.
Ms. He is an entrepreneur who pays great attention to etiquette. Even when she came to inspect suppliers and brought souvenirs, she was still very polite to Grandpa You and Grandma You.
The living room and office of the old house were clearly visible and not much to see, so You Yu took the two of them back to the house next door.
"I heard that the tomatoes from your village have been put on the market? How is the quality this year?" After just sitting down and chatting for a few minutes, Ms. He couldn't wait to get straight to the topic.
"If you're not tired, I'll take you to the fields right away to have a look. The spring drought this year is over and the summer drought is over. The tomatoes are very sweet."
"It made me drool. Come on, let's go to the field and pick a few to try."
"Fortunately, you came in the afternoon. Every day before ten o'clock in the morning, all the nine-ripe tomatoes are picked. If you spend the afternoon in the sun, you should be able to pick some eight-ripe tomatoes."
"Then I'll be in luck!"
The nearest greenhouse tomato field in the village is about twenty minutes' walk from You Yu's home. You Yu introduced it to Ms. He as he walked.
“There are ten production teams in our village, each with about fifty households and a population of about 200 people. There are only two migrant workers in the village (You Lijun and Ye Guimei).
The village has about 1,500 acres of sandy land suitable for growing vegetables and 1,000 acres of fertile land. There are 1,000 acres of greenhouse vegetables this spring. In addition to tomatoes, there is also a bumper harvest of bitter melon, eggplant, cucumber and other vegetables.”
Walk all the way along the tractor road and talk all the way.
After half an hour of procrastinating, we arrived at a greenhouse about two acres of land.
The owner of the greenhouse, You Yang (the second brother You Qi), along with his parents and daughter-in-law, are busy leafing tomatoes.
Seeing You Yu, You Yang hurriedly came up to say hello: "Mr. You, I left a few special red ones, and I want to send them to your home later."
When the eldest nephew saw the stranger coming (who looked like a boss), the name he used changed.
"Thank you You Yang, take us to pick them quickly. The ones you pick yourself taste sweet. This is President He of the Shancheng Hot Pot Association. She is a professional at picking tomatoes!"
"Hello, president, this is the president!"
In the greenhouse, the hanging tomato plants are about 1.5 meters high. There are five ears of fruit hanging on each tomato vine, and one ear has four tomatoes.
In order to increase the effect of ventilation and light, and to speed up tomato ripening, all leaves below the first ear of tomatoes are removed.
Standing in the ditch, you can see a scene: densely packed, crowded, red and green, prosperous scene.
