Just two days after eating the fried chicken legs, another piece of good news came from the production department.
After half a year's work, the chicory was finally softened in the darkroom at the most suitable temperature using hydroponics.
No longer hollow, no longer divergent, no longer green, no longer different sizes.
The trio responsible for this project stood tall and proud, like generals returning triumphantly from a victorious battle.
When County Magistrate Lu received You Yu's call, he didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he asked Ke Qingguo to drive quickly. He wanted to come to Wandou Group to have a look, which is known as "the golden dish of the European royal family"!
"Is this it?" County Magistrate Lu asked curiously as he took a complete, washed chicory from You Yu's hand.
The roots of the whole chicory are white, and the edges of the leaves are light yellow.
And each leaf is wrapped together, looking very close to baby cabbage.
"Yes, you can eat this dish directly like this, or dip it in some salad dressing!" You Yu wore disposable gloves, broke off a few leaves of the vegetable on his hand, and handed it to County Chief Lu. inside.
County Magistrate Lu wasn't too interested in salad dressing, so he just ate the original flavor.
"Well, it smells fresh and tastes fresh and sweet, but there's a bit of bitterness in the sweetness."
"Leader, chicory is not only rich in carotene and mineral elements such as potassium and calcium. It also contains bitter substances such as horse chestnut bark, leaf lettuce glycosides and mountain lettuce picrin.
These bitter substances have the effects of clearing the liver, promoting gallbladder, and increasing appetite. Eat a few slices raw before meals to whet your appetite; take a few slices after drinking to clear your mouth to relieve hangover! "
"It is indeed a vegetable that can be used both as medicine and food. However, if this taste is eaten raw, it would have to be promoted in high-end hotels."
"If chicory is boiled in boiling water for too long, it will turn brown, and it will taste soft and bitter. It can be stir-fried quickly over high heat. Once it is cooked, it should be eaten immediately. Do not leave it for a long time."
"Seeing that you have been struggling for more than half a year, is it difficult to control the planting process?"
"It's difficult for those who don't know it, but it's not difficult for those who can! In a nutshell, we must first create an environment suitable for their growth, and control the water and temperature required for the growth process. It is best to avoid light during the entire growth process, and it is best to avoid picking and transportation. It was done in a low-light environment.”
"What are the input costs and output? Is the technology mature enough to be promoted on a large scale?"
"We tried four batches of soil cultivation in greenhouses without success. The plant factory model we are using now is relatively high-cost. We only tried hydroponics twice before we finally reached the threshold. If we want to promote it on a large scale, at least we have to wait. Let’s try planting another batch of succulent roots this year.”
"Good! Good! Good! Within two years, I hope that chicory can also become a specialty agricultural product card of our Jiang County!"
"Please rest assured, leader, and ensure that the task is completed!"
Magistrate Lu was convinced, and he couldn't wait to call his family in Beijing, saying that he still needed a batch of high-quality chicory seeds that could plant 500 acres of land, and asked his family to support him as soon as possible!
In the past three years, Jiang County's agriculture has been praised several times by the province.
The poverty alleviation task also followed the cooperation with the Pea Group, and more than a dozen villages were lifted out of poverty in two years.
He had been staying in Jiang County without wanting to move, he just wanted to wait.
This year, the Pea Group is building Asia's largest aerial strawberry garden with great fanfare, to the successful promotion of thousands of acres of Olympic vegetables, and chicory, which is still a "rare commodity" in China.
Jiang County’s economy, especially the agricultural economy, is about to take off.
You Yu didn't expect that the three-thirds of an acre of land that he was struggling with would be so closely related to County Magistrate Lu's official career.
She is still worrying about where to build a chicory planting factory?
The eight-acre industrial park is now packed to the brim. The more than two acres of vegetable plots in the park are treated like treasures by the old chef, who has to take care of them himself every day. Pulling out his vegetables is like killing him.
Outside the industrial park, less than 50 meters away is the 200,000-square-meter smart greenhouse under construction.
One hundred acres of nursery land was still responsible for raising strawberry seedlings in the first half of the year, and no piece of land was idle.
After thinking about it, the only place she could think of that could be used was the red brick house built by You Lijun and his wife after they got married, the birthplace of the fruit and vegetable company.
Boss You originally wanted to leave this house to her old father when he retired and returned to his hometown. He would use the wages he had earned from working outside for many years to build a stylish small building.
Otherwise, after working in other places for many years, how can you prove your success?
Right now, I regret to say, building her plant factory is more important.
The old man personally called Guizi and informed him that his house would be demolished to grow vegetables. You Lijun was almost furious.
"Ah! You have to tear down the house to grow any kind of vegetables? Didn't You Rui say that she used the living room at home to open a company? It's only been a few years, and the company has already opened? Let me tell you, if she If she can achieve great things, I can even fry fish for her!"
"Then you fry it now, and the labor and management will see how you fry it!" Grandpa You's patience ran out, and he only gave a verbal notice and no further explanation.
You Lijun thought that as long as he didn't nod, the matter wouldn't be done.
For a house built more than 20 years ago, I don’t even have a real estate certificate.
Entrepreneurs like You Yu who are constantly developing new agricultural products want to build a plant factory, but all the approvals are smooth.
In less than a week, all traces of the past life of Lao You's family were completely erased.
In half a month, a three-story, light-free plant factory covering an area of two acres will be built here.
Although the plant factory is not large, Youyu also commissioned technicians from the Intelligent Equipment Engineering Technology Research Center to design the hydroponic drip irrigation and temperature control system for the entire factory.
There are no windows or lights, just rows of custom-made iron planters and three or five small doors of one height.
As of May 20, the promotion time of Wandou Group’s official website mall is exactly 20 days.
Backend statistics show that there are a total of 30,290 registered IDs, and 18,928 people have purchased lifetime membership cards.
In the past 20 days, the sales champion in the mall has always been the intermediate second-generation tomatoes, with a total of 280,000 kilograms sold.
Buyers from other places praised the tomatoes they received, from the packaging to the taste, and the repurchase rate was as high as 80%.
The runner-up was Little Beibei Pumpkins, with a total of 188,000 sold, with buyers from the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen accounting for two-thirds.
Most of the buyers' comments were about eating Beibei pumpkin as a meal replacement. They also said that the sugar content is not fattening at all and is extremely healthy.
Tadolan colored peppers, 5,035 jins sold in advance, received 130,000 in advance;
Red okra, 3190 pounds, 85,000.
The sales of more than 5 million yuan in twenty days can be regarded as exceeding the set small goal. All the employees of the e-commerce company finally breathed a collective sigh of relief.
