This year, Fang Hongbing was miserable.
Xie Erwa and his two relatives planted a total of 40 acres of sweet potatoes, which could be sold to him for 120,000 kilograms!
not enough? We can also wholesale another 180,000 kilograms from Xiaoniece’s company.
With 300,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, starting from September, he can always bake them until the Chinese New Year, right?
In the villages of Qipanshan and Bapanshan, the growers who renewed their contracts with the fruit and vegetable company have expanded their planting area to 600 acres, and the quality detected by sampling is still quite stable.
Selenium-rich sweet potatoes must be them!
"Collect sweet potatoes, collect sweet potatoes!" The villagers loudly passed the news to each other. This year, the fruit and vegetable company drove trucks directly to the mountains to collect.
Someone shouted from across the mountain: "Secretary, will the price still be the same this year?"
A minute later, the branch secretary's loud voice came from the other side: "Yes, it's eighty cents per catty, and it's still cash!"
The villagers digging red sweet potatoes on the slopes felt very at ease.
Shou Tou was not slow in his movements and even set up a dragon gate formation with his neighbor.
Villager 1: "My family will dig out the last acre of land today. It looks like we can sell it for at least 12,000 yuan in cash this year."
Villager 2: "You refused to listen when I asked you to open a bank card. Do you remember last year when Wang Baochang's money was bitten by rats?"
Villager 1: "I will go to the credit union in the town to deposit money tomorrow. By the way, Bai Huoshi is silent? Didn't he dance in the first half of the year? He roared so fiercely, where did he go?" "
Villager 3: "He said he went to Eshi to find friends. The thirty or so families were hanging around the door of his house every day. When they saw us selling for money, they didn't know how anxious they were."
Villager 1: "If Bai Huoshi can help them sell it at a high price this year, Qipan Mountain won't be able to accommodate him."
For most villagers in the two villages, expanding the scale of planting is equivalent to increasing their income several times, and they are still paying the same price, which is quite satisfactory.
Carloads of sweet potatoes were brought back to Yougoubian Village
As expected by A Kuan, the buyers who had tasted the first sweet taste of autumn last year stormed into the store fiercely.
Several big buyers appeared in northern cities, and one in Beijing had the most ruthless ID. He bought 5,000 pieces (i.e. 50,000 kilograms) at one time.
Yuan Yan quickly reported the situation to her boss, and You Yu asked her to remind buyers that this year's sweet potatoes can no longer be used for breeding, so growers should be careful when purchasing.
The other party gave me a string of smiley faces, saying that he wanted to imitate a buyer in Chengdu and set up a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes in the community. The stove was inherited from his grandpa’s house in the suburbs.
joke? Beijing people, at what price can’t you afford roasted sweet potatoes?
In E City, farmers this year also achieved a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes grown on good land, with an average yield of 6,000 kilograms per mu.
They used fertile fields to raise seedlings, and the seedlings grew extremely well. They actually planted 2,000 acres of fiber, and the city's production capacity reached 8,000 tons.
Restaurants and restaurants have limited digestion capacity for whole grains such as red potato. If they want to sell goods quickly, they have to rely on wholesale markets.
The largest agricultural product wholesale market in Southwest China is in Chengdu, with a daily transaction volume of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of agricultural products.
The price, of course, is the wholesale price.
Sweet potatoes are several times more delicious than ordinary red potatoes. The highest estimated price given by wholesalers in the market is 60 cents per catty. You can charge as much as you want.
This requires large wholesalers to organize their own supply of goods in E City, contact transportation vehicles, purchase red potato from growers (advance payment), and then sell it in the wholesale market.
No one will do an unprofitable business due to transportation costs and the pressure of advance payment.
When it was transferred to the growers, the highest purchase price was only 40 cents per catty, so I chose the ones that were well-proportioned in size and in good condition first.
Bai Huoshi's claws were numb, so after some hard talk, his good brother gave him a share of 100,000 kilograms of red sweet potatoes.
If he wanted to make a profit, he could only buy it from the villagers for three cents per pound.
Not giving up, he took his sweet potatoes to the farmer's market in Jia City and found out that the price was not as high as the price offered by his good brother.
What to do?
More than 30 households can cultivate more than 100 acres, and the yield per mu is 500,000 jins.
He just didn't make a penny, so he paid 40 cents per catty to buy it, which is only one-fifth of 100,000 catties.
Moreover, his own family cultivated five acres of land, so Bai Huoshi was faced with a difficult decision.
After dilly-dallying for three days, we returned to Qipan Mountain and started harvesting red sweet potatoes.
"Damn it, tell me again, how much does a pound of red sweet potato cost?" The bad-tempered villager clenched his fists and decided to give Bai Huoshi a good beating if the money he mentioned was inappropriate.
"You guys, it's only four cents a pound. Two thousand acres of red sweet potato in E City are sold for this price!" Bai Huoshi straightened his back, and he really didn't lie this time.
"Ouch!" Bai Huoshi's eye socket was punched first, and after a while, it became symmetrical.
No matter how hard he was beaten, Bai Huishi still did not change his words.
The villagers were angry and regretful. An average family only received about 3,000 jins out of 100,000 jins. Who would they sell the remaining red sweet potatoes to?
You can’t choose to go down the mountain and set up a stall in the town or county, right?
Compared to the fruit and vegetable company that went up to the mountain to collect the fruits and vegetables, and was given unlimited cash for eighty cents per pound, more than 30 households regretted it and wished they could dig up the ancestral graves of the Bai Huishi family.
I thought of all kinds of ways to use the remaining sweet potatoes. The funniest thing was that someone went to Fang Hongbing's roasted sweet potato shop in the county town and wanted to sell it to him for eighty cents a pound.
Fang Hongbing smiled instead of getting angry, "Don't ask me, what is the relationship between my roasted red potato shop and Princess Pea Fruit and Vegetable Company? Not to mention eight cents a pound, you just gave it to me for free, and I don't want it!"
The villagers ran away in despair.
Soon, several more mobile roasted red potato vendors appeared in the county town. Roasted red potatoes cost one dollar and fifty cents per pound!
Fang Hongbing’s store business has been obviously affected.
You Yu immediately sent her aunt-in-law a new signature - roasted red potato with mozzarella cheese.
Just crush the steamed red potato into a puree, add milk, butter and grated cheese.
Spread flatly into various red potato containers wrapped in tin foil, cover with a layer of grated cheese, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
The new roasted red potato is soft, glutinous, fragrant and delicious. You're done.
In the past, the average price of the original roasted red potato was only one yuan each, but now its value has increased to three yuan each.
Roll it up, and roll the roasted sweet potato as well.
The market economy is not controlled by people at all. Even if some villagers in Qipan Mountain and Bapan Mountain went to the Poverty Alleviation Office and cried several times, their red sweet potatoes would probably end up being sold for three cents per pound.
Triangular pounds per pound, the income per mu is 1,500 yuan.
It is not as good as the contracted growers in the same village, but it is still hundreds of yuan better than growing rapeseed before.
However, people who have already earned high prices have a big psychological gap!
From time to time, White Firestone would be put in a sack and beaten up.
The shameless villagers repeatedly begged the village party secretary to continue cooperating with the goddess of wealth next year. They were even willing to reduce the price by 20%.
