"Comrade Shui Hua, since you have opened up the channels for selling Agaricus bisporus to the outside world, why don't you continue to expand the scale of mushroom cultivation?"
After the visit, Wu Yuejuan asked Shui Hua, who was invited by her to accompany the visit.
Shui Hua smiled and said, "Isn't this just a sign of weakness!"
Wu Yuejuan also smiled lightly. She didn't expose it, was she weak-minded? I'm afraid it's just because I'm weak and careless.
If Wang Zhong and Shui Hua are really lucky, they can build their own factory and expand the scale of Agaricus bisporus cultivation dozens of times. Anyway, they have opened up sales channels. As long as there are mushrooms, they can be transported to other provinces through the channels. There is no need to worry at all. There is no place to sell it.
"Comrade Shui Hua, I really admire your and Comrade Wang Zhong's willingness to give back to their hometown and build their hometown." Wu Yuejuan's words came from the bottom of her heart and were not flattering Ayu.
Ever since their poverty alleviation team came to Haiji and came to Yuquanying Economic Development Zone, Wang Zhong and Shuihua appeared in their sight. They were rich, running kilns, building companies, and farms. They almost did everything. It's all related to the local people. Although they also earned some profits in this process, whether it is the treatment they give the workers or other aspects, let alone a small Yuquan Camp, it is the entire Haiji There are few in the county, the entire autonomous region, and Ningxia Province that can compare to these two couples.
"I heard Professor Ling mention it last time that Comrade Wang Zhong planned to do something ecological on the farm?" Wu Yuejuan couldn't remember clearly.
Chen Jinshan next to him appropriately added: "Ecological economy!"
"Yes, yes! Ecological economy! How is it going?"
Wu Yuejuan was immediately impressed.
Speaking of this, Shui Hua knew very well and said with a smile: "Ecological economy is just a name for it. It means raising sheep and chickens, growing grass, crops, and mushrooms, all of which are done together. Sheep manure There are chicken manure and fungus grass, and the crop straw can be collected to make manure. When new manure is replaced every year, the old manure can be used to fertilize the land."
"So that's what happened!" Wu Yuejuan and Chen Jinshan both suddenly realized at the same time.
"This ecological economy is very good!" Chen Jinshan has listened to Professor Ling's class and is half of Professor Ling's students. He still has a certain understanding of Professor Ling: "When Professor Ling studied growing mushrooms with grass, he just wanted to see people's interest in growing mushrooms with grass. The demand for mushrooms was large, and the mushrooms at that time were all woody mushrooms. If you want to grow mushrooms in large quantities, it will inevitably cause great damage to the forest ecological environment of our Fujian Province, so Professor Ling will spend a lot of money later. A lot of effort was put into researching the method of growing mushrooms with grass.”
"Developing the economy while protecting ecological stability is the sustainable development advocated by the country!"
"······"
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
On the endless Gobi Desert, I don’t know since which year, there has been a little more green. Now that it is approaching the end of autumn, the green that appears on the endless Gobi Desert has also been rendered yellow by the bleak autumn wind.
In early September, the first harvest of Agaricus bisporus is about to begin. In the wheat fields outside Jintan Village, the villagers are also caught up in the bustle of business. The harsh roar of the diesel engine and the sound of the chimneys are pouring out. With billowing black smoke, several small and medium-sized tractors were driving in the fields, plowing shallow ravines in the land that was already beginning to show fertility.
The villagers were wrapped in headscarves, holding rakes, hoes, and picks, and were tinkering in the plowed fields. The women were sowing seeds behind with baskets on their arms.
In order to sow autumn seeds and take care of the Agaricus bisporus in the mushroom shed that is about to enter the harvesting period, the villagers sent people back to their hometown in Xihaigu with messages, and asked family members who originally stayed in Xihaigu to come to Yuquan Camp to help with the work.
Except for the elderly who really can't walk, the rest even the six- or seven-year-old children are not idle. The whole family joins in to serve the mushrooms, tinker with the mushroom shed, and prepare for autumn sowing.
In order to save time to serve the mushrooms and make a lot of money, many villagers who were originally reluctant to pay for machines to cultivate the land gritted their teeth and asked Wang Zhong to start his tractors to help them cultivate the land. Plowed.
Wang Zhong didn't speak loudly. Instead, he only asked the villagers to pool the fuel money for the tractor and wages for a few drivers.
The five to six hundred acres of land in the village were plowed by several tractors in three days.
As for Wang Zhong's farm, the two harvesters have already started operating, but what they are harvesting is not corn or wheat, but the fully mature oat grass and various types of mushrooms that are close to being naturally dried.
Hundreds of acres of pasture are the fodder reserves for more than a thousand beach sheep to survive the winter.
An intense farm work unfolded quietly in the bleak autumn wind and reflected by the blue sky.
The Agaricus bisporus business of Shanhai Farm Trade is also centered on Yuquanying, with Xingqing City and Qingtongxia City as transit points, and quietly covers the surrounding counties, cities, villages and towns.
Wang Zhong's mushroom shed produces an average of about 2,300 kilograms of mushrooms each time. Of course, this number will fluctuate, but the fluctuations are not too big.
Originally, all these mushrooms could be consumed in Xingqing and Qingtongxia alone, but Wang Zhong and Shui Hua both wanted to try their Agaricus bisporus in the surrounding markets to gain fame, so they asked Lao Xin to go to the surrounding markets. Issued by counties and cities.
Lao Xin's current main business is still his vegetable wholesale, but now he has an additional title, the representative of the local vegetable vendors of Agaricus bisporus.
The price for Lao Xin's goods from Shanhai Farmers' Trade remained unchanged.
The outbound wholesale price set by Shanhai Farm Trade is RMB 3.2. Lao Xin has done it firsthand and is currently the only first-level local agent. Shanhai Trade does not care how much money Lao Xin allocates to the vegetable vendors, but the price of Agaricus bisporus in the market It cannot exceed three and a half yuan, and the final selling price of Agaricus bisporus must be determined by Wang Zhong's Shanhai Trading based on market conditions. Shanhai Trading Company will regularly send people to conduct market surveys to understand the market situation of Agaricus bisporus.
Of course, these are all plans for the future.
In late September, the sowing of wheat in the economic development zone is coming to an end, and the Agaricus bisporus in the mushroom farmers' sheds is gradually entering the first picking time.
As the temperature drops day by day, we should take advantage of the opportunity to pick as many Agaricus bisporus as possible before winter begins.
In accordance with the requirements of the expert group, the mushroom farmers carefully picked the mushrooms in good condition and put them into large plastic frames. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the girls and boys from Shanhai Trading Company would drive a tractor and pull the big mushrooms. Scale, go around all the mushroom-growing villages in the development zone and harvest mushrooms.
"What? Two dollars?"
"Wang Zhong, that coward, sells his own mushrooms for three yuan and a half per catty, but charges us only two yuan per catty for our mushrooms?"
Unexpectedly, the mushroom harvesting vehicle had just entered the village when it encountered a problem.
"I said, little girl, you can't do this. Mushrooms are sold in the market for three and a half yuan per catty. You charge two yuan per catty, and you earn one and a half yuan per catty of mushrooms. We work hard to grow mushrooms, and you are Just selling mushrooms, you make more than us!"
"exactly!"
"Two yuan a pound is too little."
"······"
"Damn it, where is that coward Wang Zhong? Where are the others? I'll go find him!" In the square of Jintan Village, Li Dayou was the first to lose his temper. He fell out on the spot and scolded Wang Zhong directly. .
Fortunately, Wang Zhong is not here, otherwise with his donkey temper, he might have rushed up to fight Wang Zhong by now.
"Brother Dayou! Brother Dayou!"
"Don't worry, let's listen to what the little girl said first!" Wuquan and Shuanmen quickly grabbed Li Dayou.
After all, Wang Zhong's prestige in Jintan Village was high enough, and the villagers didn't want to believe that he was the kind of person who would cheat the villagers.
"Brother Shui, do you want to talk!" Ma Huashui's face didn't look very good, mainly because he was being made trouble by Li Dayou.
"Okay, there are so many people here, why are you making a fuss?"
"Yang San, if he wants to make trouble again, go and invite the old party secretary over!" Ma Huanshui looked angrily at Li Dayou, who was waning.
Li Dayou had an unhappy look on his face. He turned away Shuan Men and Wu Quan and grabbed his hands, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't slander him. It's two yuan a pound. How could he deceive his fellow villagers like this?"
"Okay, don't talk yet!" Ma Huashui scolded him, and then asked the little girl holding a notebook and pen beside the truck: "Woman, why do you only charge two yuan per pound? You should always Tell us!"
The girl in charge of accounting was a young and pretty girl in her twenties. Although she was not very beautiful, she was very eloquent and said: "Uncle, our company does not harvest mushrooms directly for sale in the vegetable market. First, It needs to be brought to the cold storage, and then wholesaled to vegetable vendors. We need to burn oil when driving. With so many mushrooms, we will definitely not be able to sell them all at once. Do we need to put them in the cold storage to keep them fresh? If there is no cold storage, these mushrooms will change color in a few days. , and then rot.”
"Does all this cost money? Also, it costs money for the company to hire us and hire drivers! And this doesn't even count our company's early investment in cold storage and transportation vehicles."
"Don't forget that the current price of mushrooms is 3.5 yuan, but that's because our boss is the only one who grows mushrooms. The output is only more than 2,000 kilograms at a time. The supply of Agaricus bisporus in the market exceeds demand, so the price is high."
"But now there are hundreds of mushroom farmers. Even if one family only produces a hundred kilograms of mushrooms, it would still be tens of thousands of kilograms at a time. If there are more and more mushrooms, they will definitely not be able to sell them at the original price! What we do is The company is not doing charity, so we can’t give money to harvest mushrooms, right?
And now that there are so many mushroom farmers, the mushroom production will definitely remain high. The local market will definitely not be able to eat so many mushrooms, and the mushrooms will definitely have to be sent to other places. Car fares, gas fees, and highway tolls are all free of charge. "
"This is all money spent to help you sell mushrooms. Uncle, you have to be conscientious. Let me tell you the truth. We charge two yuan for these mushrooms. Our company barely puts any money into it." Sorry, you can’t beat me up and accuse our boss.”
Wang Zhong had also expected this scene, so the people sent out to collect the mushrooms were all sharp-tongued, thick-skinned, bold and thoughtful. Two people were responsible for one car, the man was responsible for driving and weighing, and the woman was responsible for weighing the mushrooms. Responsible for entering and settling money.
As the saying goes, if men and women work together, won’t they be tired from work?
"But two dollars is too low!" Wuquan frowned, anxious and reluctant.
"Uncle!" The little girl is not unreasonable. Seeing that the old uncle, who was in his forties or fifty years old and covered in dust, was reluctant, his tone was not as bad as before, and her tone also changed: "Do you want to sell this? Mushrooms are your business. If you don’t sell them, I’ll go to the next one. If your whole village doesn’t sell them, then I’ll go to the next village.”
"Our boss also made it clear before coming here that the price of two yuan is definitely not comparable to the price of mushrooms on the market, but uncle, this thing is like this. Even if those businessmen come to the village to collect mushrooms, they can How much will they pay? Even if they can give you a higher price this time, what about next time?"
"Our company is different. Our company is doing long-term business with you."
Ma Huashui nodded, "We all understand the truth. It's just like selling wheat or corn! Those who collect grain come to the village to collect it, and the price must be lower than the market. After all, they also want to make money, right? !”
"But two yuan is indeed far different from what the villagers expected. No wonder the villagers are in mood!"
The little girl said: "Uncle, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to sell, you can take it to the market and buy it yourself, or you can find a vendor who is willing to pay a high price first. Our company will not stop you, but our company collects mushrooms. We have our own prices, and our boss has told us in advance. If you don’t want to sell the mushrooms this time, don’t worry. We will come back next time. When you want to sell your mushrooms to our company, you can contact us to purchase. You can also call our boss directly at his home."
"Little girl, don't worry. There are eighty-six households in Jintan Village. In addition to your two bosses, there are also eight or forty households that have grown mushrooms. I estimate that this time there will be one in our village. Forty to five thousand kilograms of mushrooms, and this is the first time for the villagers to grow mushrooms. Can you see if you can raise the price?"
"Uncle! Aren't you making things difficult for me?" The little girl said helplessly: "I am just a part-time worker. The price of mushrooms is set by the leaders of our company. How do I have the right to change it?"
"Just wait, I'll go find your boss. I'll ask him if he can raise the price for us!" Li Dayou was unwilling to give in. He was about to run to the village as he spoke. Unexpectedly, he just ran out a few steps and said, The black shadow flew over like a meteor and hit his head with great precision.
"That bitch smashed his shoe..."
Li Dayou was furious. When he saw that the shoe that hit him on the head was a dirty shoe full of dust, he couldn't hold back his violent temper and opened his mouth to curse.
"Why did I hit you?"
A familiar voice came into his ears. Li Dayou was stunned for a moment when his father appeared in front of him with his hands behind his back, a hunched body, a sullen face, and a blue work cap on his head. .
"Dad! Why are you here?"
The old party secretary had one bare foot on the compacted dirt road. Li Dayou quickly picked up the dirty shoes on the ground and put them back in front of the old man's feet.
"If I don't come, you're going to turn the world upside down. I can hear your huffing and puffing across half the village. You're almost forty and fifty, so why are you still acting like a baby? If anything happens, You're shouting with your broken voice, you're afraid that people won't hear you, right?"
The person who knows his son best is his father.
"Dad!" He continued to say, but when he mentioned this matter, Li Dayou felt aggrieved again: "You can't rely on me for this matter!"
"If you don't rely on me, who do you rely on?" The old branch secretary glared at him: "Don't you rely on me?"
"Isn't that the price that Wang Zhong, the coward, collected the mushrooms at was too low!" Li Dayou said coquettishly, with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Isn't it just two yuan a pound? Zhongwazi has told me this before. What can't be sold? Two yuan is not money?" The old man was still so domineering.
At least in front of Li Dayou, he was so domineering.
"Dad! Did that coward Wang Zhong tell you about this?" Li Dayou looked confused and asked in disbelief.
"Hey, what do I need to report to you?"
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
Everyone greeted the old party secretary one after another.
Among the people who came to Diaozhuang, the old branch secretary was the oldest and most prestigious. He had been in charge of the kiln factory for several years. His majesty not only did not weaken with age, but became stronger.
"Yes!" The old party secretary nodded slightly, walked up to the little girl collecting mushrooms, and said, "Woman, if the mushrooms in my house are sold, they will be sold according to your company's price, which is two yuan per catty."
"Uncle!" As soon as the old party secretary finished speaking, everyone around him tried to persuade him.
The fellow villagers from Yongquan Village who came out with them, such as Wuguan, Shuanmen and Yang San, were the most cheerful.
"It's only two yuan, uncle. The price on the market is three and a half yuan per catty. You're going to lose a lot if you sell it like this!"
Looking at the people who said nothing to each other, the old party secretary shouted: "Okay, okay!"
"What a loss, have we villagers suffered any loss since beating Wang Zhongna's baby to our Yongquan Village?" The old party secretary swept his stern eyes over the crowd and said loudly: "In 1991, we came to Diaozhuang , it was also Wang Zhongnawa who led us to build a brick kiln, dig soil and bake bricks. Is the wage paid to us higher or lower than that of the nearby brick kiln? Is it higher or lower than that of working on a farm, in a town, or in a city? ?”
"Everyone is building a house, but Nawa still uses the cost price and gives credit to everyone to build the house first. You can tell me with your own conscience, Wang Zhongna, when has he ever treated us badly?"
"Even this time when growing Agaricus bisporus, he also provided money and effort to allow Professor Ling and the young doll experts to experiment on his farm."
Everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Ma Huanshui showed a relaxed look on his face, raised the corners of his mouth, and quietly gave a thumbs up to the old branch secretary.
"Woman, the mushrooms in my house are sold!" The old branch secretary turned to the little girl collecting the mushrooms and said.
"No!" Li Dayou hurried over and pulled the old branch secretary: "Dad! You can't sell it for two yuan!"
The old branch secretary immediately bowed and picked up the soles of his shoes: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly?"
"I said you can't sell it for two yuan!" Li Dayou said through gritted teeth.
The old branch secretary angrily picked up the sole of his shoe and slapped it directly on Li Dayou's shoulder and back. He slapped it several times without stopping. He slapped him back while shouting: "I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn in this family." Call the shots.”
