However, Ning Xiaoxia's simple action caused a misunderstanding from Lao Pan, who was standing aside to weigh the ginger: "Boss Wu, you promised me to round the remaining ginger, why did you bring another boss here?"

Yes, I won’t agree to this.”

Lao Pan specializes in the ginger business and holds some shares in a small factory that specializes in chopped peppers.

A jar of chopped peppers contains a lot of ginger. Although Lao Pan is not in charge of the factory, he owns the factory and owns shares, and the shareholders in the factory are all his own family members, so Lao Pan supplies the ginger in it.

.

Although it is a small workshop-style factory, but because it sells online under the brand of hometown flavor, and the taste is really good, mainly because the materials used are relatively solid, the business of the factory has been increasing in the past two years.

Well, Lao Pan Shengjiang’s business is getting bigger and bigger.

This time, Wu Fei's ginger did not attract businessmen with a large ginger business, but only small traders who wanted small quantities of goods.

Wu Fei specifically learned about the scale of ginger planting in Qingfeng County. During the hottest years of ginger planting, the county's ginger planting area was nearly 2,000 acres, with an output of tens of millions of kilograms.

Jinfeng Township alone has nearly 500 acres. Some large ginger merchants may harvest hundreds of thousands of kilograms of ginger at a time. Wu Fei heard that someone invested more than 5 million yuan to harvest ginger at one time.

.

However, most of the people who came to Wu Fei to collect ginger this time did not want a lot of ginger. Thirty to fifty thousand kilograms was considered a lot. By the time Lao Pan came over, Wu Fei only had 4 acres of ginger left in his field.

After seeing the quality of the ginger, Lao Pan immediately gave him a deposit of 10,000 yuan per acre, and drove a truck to Wu Fei the next day to wait to collect the ginger. But today Wu Fei arranged for someone to collect the ginger in the field.

There are only 20 people. It is difficult to dig even 2 acres in a day. If it is difficult to dig, they can dig less than an acre and a half in a day. For four acres of ginger, it will take about 3 days for these 20 people to dig.

time.

Digging ginger is a very troublesome thing, especially when the ginger grows well and has a high yield. Like the ginger grown in Wu Fei, almost all grow together and form a whole piece.

In order to maintain the integrity of the ginger as much as possible, it is simply not feasible to dig it directly with a hoe. Because when the hoe is dug down, the ginger will be 100% rotten. People who collect damaged ginger generally do not want it.

, even if you charge them, the prices are vastly different, less than half price.

Because this kind of ginger cannot be stored for a long time, and when you dig it out, sand will stick to the wound, making it difficult to clean.

So when Wu Fei and the others dig ginger, they shovel it in from below with a sharp shovel, and then lift the ginger up. The people following behind clean the mud off the ginger one by one, and put it into the frame piece by piece.

About 50,000 kilograms of ginger can be dug from 4 acres of land. With 20 people and 3 days, that's 60 workers, and 150 yuan a day costs 9,000 yuan. Wu Fei calculated that a kilogram of ginger would cost as much as the labor cost.

2 cents per catty. This is because the ginger yield in Wu Fei is high. Even in the ginger fields in productive areas, digging ginger does not save much labor.

In order to finish digging the ginger in the ground earlier, Lao Pan drove here early in the morning. After everyone started, he followed behind and was busy.

In fact, it's not that Wu Fei doesn't want to call a few more people to help. It's actually not easy to call people during this period, and the seedling farm also sent a batch of saplings, including cherry, loquat, and orange trees. Wu Fei has to arrange for people to come in.

The saplings were planted in a short time.

The main reason is that after the highway expansion started, some people went to help with the road construction and did small jobs. Because the formwork was installed on the construction site, the wages were more than 200 yuan a day, which was much higher than here in Wu Fei.

So those nearby who could work on the construction site all went to work on the construction site. Wu Fei and a group of people from his own village came over as soon as Wu Fei called out, and did not run away because the wages at the construction site were high.

Go to the construction site.

As for raising wages to the same level as those on the construction site, Wu Fei has never thought about it. The current market situation is like this, and Wu Fei can only follow the general market trend. If he adds money casually, those who receive money in the village will be happy

Yes, but people who have to hire workers to do things at home have to scold Wu Fei behind his back.

So Lao Pan was anxious and had no choice. Even the 20 people digging for ginger now were all called by Wu Fei with great difficulty.

Seeing that Lao Pan seemed to have misunderstood the purpose of Ning Xiaoxia and his party, Wu Fei explained to Lao Pan: "You are here to see the vegetables. No one will compete with you for your ginger."

Lao Pan ignored Wu Fei's explanation and instead said to Yang Tianci: "Lao Yang, you said you didn't come to Boss Wu to buy ginger?"

At this time, Yang Tianci noticed Lao Pan and said a little surprised: "Lao Pan, you are the one collecting ginger here. Just now you were wearing a straw hat and I didn't recognize you. Why are you afraid that I will compete with you for the ginger?"

Obviously, Lao Pan, Yang Tianci and his party should know each other. At least Yang Tianci and Lao Pan know each other. It seems that they have not interacted with each other once or twice.

It’s not surprising to say that the county town is so big, and the ginger business is also in the farmer’s market. Everyone is in this industry, so it’s not surprising that they know each other.

Ning Xiaoxia and Yang Tianci made eye contact. At this time, Ning Xiaoxia and Yang Tianci had also seen the ginger. They were very satisfied with the batch of ginger in front of them, but it seemed that these gingers should be

It was eaten by Lao Pan. It seems that it takes a lot of effort to get some of it from Lao Pan.

But now is not the time for the two of them to talk. Yang Tianci said to Lao Pan: "Lao Pan, when will you return to the county seat, let's have a drink together. It's been a long time since we got together."

Lao Pan said: "I may not be able to return to the county town until dark. Why do you want to take care of my business? It's a pity that I haven't received any good things now, and most of you don't look down on me."

"Okay, let's contact you again when we return to the county seat."

After saying that, Yang Tianci stood up and asked Wu Fei to take them to see other places. However, the topic did not leave the gingers.

"Boss Wu, apart from the ginger here, do you grow any other ginger elsewhere?"

"That's all the ginger we haven't dug now. It covers an area of ​​about four acres. Why does Manager Ning and your company also collect ginger?"
