The price of lychees in the South Island has begun to fall.
Forest Farm's lychees were sold online, initially for 99 yuan for 5 jins. Over time, the price increased to 88 yuan for 5 jins, to 77 yuan for 5 jins...
Then many repeat customers appeared, and the price rose to 99 yuan for 5 pounds. Then it was 99 yuan for 4 pounds...
By the end of June, the last batch of picked lychees, priced at 99 yuan for 3 pounds, was still sold out quickly.
It is not difficult to see the price of lychees increase as they are sold. But the price increase is very large, so it is rare.
There are still more than 100 acres of lychees that have not been picked in the forest farm. Some of those lychees turned red very early, but miraculously they remained hanging on the trees and were not broken.
As time goes by, the sugar content of lychees becomes higher and higher.
Now these ripe lychees taste pure sweet and the aroma of lychees is more intense.
These lychees are also picked and sent to the Coral Coast Hotel. They cost 50 yuan per catty and can sell thousands of catties every day.
In mid-July, there were still more than 30 acres of unsold lychees on the farm. The lychees were still hanging on the trees, but they were already starting to go bad.
This year, 1,167 tons of lychees were picked.
Li Xiaowei’s company purchased all the lychees and now sells about half of them. The remaining lychees are being refrigerated...
There is an ultra-low temperature warehouse in Dongyuan Township. Using ultra-low temperature refrigeration, lychees can be stored for one year.
Lychees are seasonal fruits and are difficult to preserve after being picked. However, ultra-low temperature preservation of lychees has long been a breakthrough...
Therefore, if you buy lychees now, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them all.
But, this is just for big sellers. Moreover, it is not cost-effective to store lychees of average quality in ultra-low temperature refrigeration.
This year, these lychees cost 8 yuan per catty.
1 ton costs 2,000 yuan, which is 16,000 yuan.
In addition, I sell some lychees myself... This year's lychee sales are 20 million yuan.
However, Forest Farm made no money.
There are 650 employees in the forest farm. The current monthly salary is not high, but if you include five insurances and one housing fund... the labor cost for a month is 4.8 million yuan.
In one year, the labor cost expenditure reaches more than 60 million. During the New Year, some year-end bonuses will definitely be given out.
However, forest farms are developing in a good direction.
At the very least, the farm has made an income of 20 million, and the farm's No. 2 and No. 3 pastures have been built. The money was used to purchase machinery and equipment, and to purchase cattle and sheep.
Farm construction is a bottomless pit.
Chen Hao has been suppressing the construction progress of the farm, otherwise...the money earned by the Coral Coast Hotel will only be consumed by the farm.
July, summer is hot.
Chen Yuan took the big and small treasures to Hidden Valley.
At noon, Dabao and Dabao lay on the mat outside and fell asleep.
The afternoon sun was scorching hot, the temperature in the valley was high, and the cicada was calling loudly again.
Yan Xiaoxi opened her fan to drive away the mosquitoes around her.
Chen Yuan brought some mosquito coils and lit them, then lay down on the mat next to him.
Mosquitoes are terrible in summer. In order to prevent them from smelling, Chen Yuan deliberately planted a lot of mugwort in front and behind the house. However, the effectiveness of mugwort in preventing mosquitoes is very average. You have to dry the mugwort in the sun and then light it... to repel mosquitoes.
The effect is good.
Yan Xiaoxi lay down and said, "Don't take big and small babies into the mountains in the future. Every time you take them out and come back, they will be covered with bags."
"They want to run out on their own." Chen Yuan said, "If I don't take them there, they will cry."
Chen Yuan was helpless.
The two girls are very clingy. Wherever Chen Yuan goes, they will follow him.
Now the fungus is out in the mountains.
The fungus here is so delicious. Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng go to the mountains every day, and the two little babies also want to run with them. They can't stop them...
"Look at how many little red envelopes they have on them."
"It's okay, it will disappear in a while." Chen Yuan said: "When I was a child, I often ran into the mountains."
Yan Xiaoxi was too lazy to talk to Chen Yuan, and turned around angrily: "Two little girls."
When he woke up from a nap, there was smoke coming in from outside. Chen Yuan thought there was a fire, then he heard Dabao's voice: "Sister-in-law, I want some too."
"I want it too, I want it too."
Dabao and Dabao call Chen Xin her sister-in-law and Zhou Sheng her sister-in-law.
"I'll give you some right away." Zhou Sheng laughed and said. He felt sorry for his son. During the holiday, he left his son with his grandparents and grandparents. He and Chen Xin were in the coral, looking at the little baby every day.
It's like looking at his own daughter.
Zhou Sheng also dotes on Xiaobao very much, almost to the point of doting him to heaven.
Xiaobao said before that the sheep were so cute and wanted to eat them. Zhou Sheng went out to the valley that day and came back with two big fat sheep tied up...
Dabao likes excavators, and Zhou Sheng has taught Dabao a lesson. In the past few days, Dabao wants to drive the excavator every day, and he wants to dig everything he sees.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan walked out.
"Burn mugwort. There are too many mosquitoes in the valley." Zhou Sheng said.
"Dad, I want to burn mugwort too." Xiaobao ran over.
"I want to drive an excavator." Dabao.
Chen Yuan held his forehead with one hand: "It's over or over." Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng speechlessly: "It's all you. What's wrong with teaching me? Teach me how to drive an excavator."
"The little excavator is pretty good." Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "In a year or two, Dabao will be able to help us with farm work."
Chen Yuan went over and tied mugwort for Dabao. There were many mosquitoes around his house, so he had to fumigate it.
He tied up the mugwort, lit it, extinguished the open flame, and handed a bundle to each of the big and small treasures: "You two, be careful not to cause a fire."
"Where can we start a fire in this mountain?" Zhou Sheng said.
"If you don't go take your son over and live there for a while, otherwise school will start soon."
"Zhou Yun followed his grandfather back to his hometown." Zhou Sheng said: "You donated money to your hometown school before, and the school did well. At the beginning of this year, more than 60 students were promoted, and a dozen of them were admitted to key high schools. Ordinary
There are also more than 20 people admitted to high school..."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "I know."
He has connections with the school. The money spent by the school is compiled into a ledger and shown to Chen Yuan.
A total of 20 million was spent to rebuild the primary school and junior high school. The remaining money was used to improve the school's hardware facilities and then recruit excellent teachers.
When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places.
For outstanding teachers, what people mainly want is high salary and relatively good benefits.
Huashan Town used its superpowers to directly recruit teachers from key middle schools. The annual salary was 200,000 yuan, and they directly signed a 10-year contract... Moreover, only one student from the school was admitted to a key high school, and the primary school teachers each received 1,200 yuan.
Reward. Each junior high school teacher will receive a reward of 2,000 yuan.
Now that the school has money, it provides elite education in small classes. There are only a dozen students in each class.
However, their school only recruits students from Huashan Town. As the school is renovated, more students from their town are willing to come back to study.
It's not that there are too many students, it's that the students' parents...
As parents, we all hope that our children will study well and get into a good university.
Chen Yuan was also in the teacher group and promised the new teachers in the school that if the school ran out of money in the future, he could support the teachers to continue teaching in Huashan Town and their salary would not change.
