Mr. Zhuang doesn't know as much about farming as Mr. Bai. After all, his main business is landlording. He can almost know the yield per mu of various crops just by taking care of the accounts of each village.
Not to mention that he took care of the fields in Qili Village himself.
So he knows very well the significance of the output of the small farm. Taking the winter wheat output of Qili Village as his Bai family, their current average yield per mu is 1.8 times that of his, which has nearly doubled.
.
So, if all the wheat in the world could have this yield...
Mr. Bai said secretly: There is no hunger in the world.
Of course, Mr. Bai just thought about it this way. The wheat production only appeared this year. Who knows whether it can be suitable for the soil and water of other places?
So Mr. Bai only got excited for a moment and asked solemnly: "Manbao, all the wheat seeds in your family were kept by yourself before, and you didn't buy them from other places?"
Man Bao felt guilty for a moment, but under Keke's guidance, he still nodded and said, "Yeah, if you don't believe me, ask my parents."
Just ask your parents, they will definitely not reveal the secret, because they don't know there is a trap inside.
Master Bai nodded thoughtfully, intending to ask Lao Zhoutou, how could he ask Man Bao, a child, about farming?
Master Bai thought of this, smiled at her, picked up the chopsticks and gave her a piece of braised pork, and asked with a smile, "How much did it cost for Bai Zhuangtou to buy wheat seeds from your house?"
Man Bao was stunned while holding the chopsticks;
Bai Shanbao was stunned while eating;
Bai Erlang was stunned for a moment before he could react, his eyes widened.
In terms of sophistication, how can three children compare to Mr. Bai?
In terms of face, the three children can't even compare.
Man Bao's face turned red with embarrassment, and Bai Shanbao's face turned red as well. They both said in shame, "Then we can make it cheaper?"
But Bai Erlang was unwilling. When they came back, they all planned in the carriage how they would divide the money from selling the wheat seeds and what they would do with them after the money was divided.
How could it be so cheap?
He racked his brains and finally came up with a ready-made reason, "Dad, the seeds in the grain store are so expensive, and ours is better than theirs, how can you take advantage of us?"
Mr. Bai said: "Then I won't buy it from you. Doesn't it mean that the winter wheat in the village is also from Hemanbao's wheat seeds? Their yield is definitely not low, so I will just buy it from them."
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, obviously not expecting this.
Man Bao reacted immediately and said proudly: "Ours is still better than theirs. If Uncle Bai doesn't believe it, go to the village and see. Not to mention other families in the village, even my wheat is not as good as the wheat from our small farm.
"
"why is that?"
Because their seeds are mixed.
At the beginning of spring last year, when Lao Zhou's family was soaking wheat seeds, she bought a pack of wheat seeds from the mall, stole the same amount directly from the bucket, and then poured the purchased ones in and mixed them together.
Therefore, although the situation of their spring wheat after the disaster last year was slightly better, it was not much better.
Later, the village wanted to exchange wheat seeds with her family, so she bought another batch with Dr. D and mixed it in. More than two-thirds were wheat seeds from the future world. As for the wheat seeds from their old Zhou family, she changed them
There are a little more, and almost most of them have been replaced. The reason why some are still missing is of course because when you put away the original wheat seeds and harvest them, there will always be some missing.
When it was Bai Zhuangtou's turn to come to buy wheat seeds, she was too lazy to climb into the granary and change the bags. After her father filled the bags, she simply changed the bags.
Therefore, the wheat seeds on their farm are basically all future varieties and are of the highest purity.
I just don’t know why, but the growth of this batch of wheat is far from reaching the yield Dr. D mentioned.
She did the calculation at that time, and Dr. D said that the wheat seed she gave me would yield more than ten dan per mu.
Even if they can't keep up with the fat here, the difference of two or three stones is okay, but they didn't expect that it would be more than half less.
Manbao guessed that these wheat seeds might not be suitable for the soil and water.
Man Bao sighed and said to Mr. Bai: "Uncle Bai, can we make it cheaper for you?"
Mr. Bai asked with a smile, "How much cheaper?"
Manbao looked at Bai Shanbao in confusion.
Bai Shanbao was stumped for a moment. If it was cheaper than the food store in the county, they wouldn't be willing to accept it. After all, their stuff was good, wasn't it?
But if it's too expensive, my cousin won't agree. After all, they are not the only sellers now.
So sad.
The three children were going back and forth with each other, and Mr. Bai became happy when he saw his son was also going back and forth with them with raised eyebrows. He simply stood up and said, "Why don't you guys talk among yourselves first?"
The three children nodded repeatedly, and Bai Shanbao said: "Cousin, you go out and play for a while first, and we will call you after we have discussed it."
Mr. Bai: ...Fortunately, you are a child and your own nephew, otherwise if someone else talks about business with him like this, the business will definitely be bad.
Mr. Bai left and handed the study to the three of them.
As soon as Master Bai left, Bai Erlang immediately jumped off the stool and looked around outside the door. When he found that his father was not hiding and eavesdropping, he closed the door.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao also jumped down and closed the window.
Mr. Bai glanced back from a distance:...
It seems that I have to teach my three children the importance of keeping secrets behind closed doors.
The three of them gathered together and whispered, "What should I do?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Man Bao and Bai Shanbao glanced at Bai Erlang and felt that it was impossible for him to play the family card.
The two of them sighed.
Bai Shanbao looked at Manbao and said, "You are familiar with the people in the village. Why don't you go back and tell them that if my cousin wants to buy wheat with them, then raise the price to more than 150 yuan and no one will go there."
If it goes down, my cousin couldn’t buy it cheaply from other places, so naturally he had to come back and buy it from us.”
Man Bao said sadly: "My father can still listen to me, why should others listen to me?"
Bai Erlang: "Who told your family to exchange so many wheat seeds for others last year?"
"If the folks want to change, why not?" Man Bao wrinkled his nose and said, "This method doesn't make sense anyway, so let's lower the price."
Bai Shanbao asked: "How much will it drop?"
Bai Erlang said sadly: "I won't make much from the price reduction. I'm still thinking of saving money to go to Yizhou."
"The minimum price cannot be less than one hundred and twenty cents," Man Bao said, "This price is the lowest. If Uncle Bai still doesn't agree, I will ask my father to find the villagers to raise the price together."
Bai Shanbao asked, "How confident are you that they can crush the price to death?"
"Not sure at all."
Bai Shanbao:......
Man Bao explained: "Didn't you listen to the guys at the grain store? They now only give thirty cents a dou for harvesting wheat from the countryside. We offer one hundred and twenty cents. Uncle Bai, let alone one hundred and twenty cents.
If he is willing to pay forty cents, there will be a lot of people in the village who will sell them."
"But we are wheat seeds."
"Anyway, it's like wheat for eating. If there are no seeds, who would use other wheat as seeds besides keeping enough for one's own?"
