"Since we have to build a plastic greenhouse, we can't grow any more Chinese cabbage because we can't sell it at a high price. We have to grow some expensive ones, such as strawberries, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, okra..."
Xingfu curiously said:
“What is okra?”
Wang Lidong thought that okra has not become popular yet.
"It's just a vegetable. I read in the newspaper that it's very popular in the south. It seems to cost more than 20 pounds per pound, but no one seems to eat it here."
When Xingfu heard that no one was eating them, he lost interest, and then analyzed the several dishes Wang Lidong mentioned:
"As for strawberries, the price is not high. I bought them twice this year, only four or five yuan per catty. Moreover, they are fruits, unlike vegetables, which I have to eat every meal.
It can't be kept for a long time, I think it's a bit risky to plant this.
Jungu, I have never planted it before. This should require some skills. Qinglai, you probably haven’t planted it either, right?"
Wang Lidong could only shake his head. After all, he had never touched it in his life. It couldn't be said to be a gift from heaven.
"I think cherry tomatoes are good. In the past two days, I saw some are already sold at the farm. The price is 6 yuan per catty, which is more expensive than strawberries. Moreover, this thing can be used as both a vegetable and a fruit, and the yield per mu is high.
?"
Wang Lidong raised a finger.
After seeing Happiness, I was a little disappointed:
"A thousand pounds?"
"Ten thousand catties."
Happy was a little surprised, this number was far beyond her expectation.
"Qing Lai, are you really that tall?"
The average cherry tomato yield per mu is 8,000--, which is at Wang Lidong's level. With a little effort, you can achieve -. Of course, whether you can wait until it is ripe for picking depends on whether Wan Chuanjia will drive a forklift over.
Already.
"I originally planned to start planting cherry tomatoes early next year, but I just didn't plan to build a plastic greenhouse."
"How many cherry tomatoes can be grown in a year?"
"2--3 Cha, if you have a greenhouse, you are guaranteed to be able to plant 3 crops."
Lucky immediately took out his mobile phone, added, subtracted and subtracted, and started to gurgling:
"The yield per mu is calculated as 10,000 catties, and three crops are equal to 30,000 catties per mu. With 20 acres of land...the annual income is 3.6 million yuan?"
Wang Lidong looked at the stunned happiness and quickly reminded:
"Your calculation is wrong. How can you calculate it based on the retail price on the market? The weather is cold this year, so it can only be sold for 6 yuan/catty. In previous years, it was more than 3 yuan.
So the purchase price is about 1.5 yuan.”
Xingfu was busy doing calculations on his phone again. Although the final number had shrunk by more than half, he still looked at the long string of '0's after the 9 in the phone.
"900,000 a year, excluding the cost per acre?"
Wang Lidong said:
"The cost per acre is about 8,000."
"Qinglai, then we can earn more than 700,000 yuan a year?"
Wang Lidong nodded and said:
"almost."
If you really want to farm seriously, just over 20 acres of land can cost you one million per year, but it’s a bit hard work.
Xingfu could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, his eyes shone with an indescribable brilliance, and his little face turned red.
He suddenly stood up and threw himself into Wang Lidong's arms.
"Qinglai, we are going to make a fortune, a big fortune."
Wang Lidong almost hugged his wife. Despite how thin she was, she was really strong.
"Yes, yes, don't get excited first. After all, it's just planning, planning..."
Happiness calmed down a little, raised his head and asked:
"Qinglai, is it not difficult to grow cherry tomatoes?"
"It's a small tomato. Do you think it's difficult?"
Happiness said firmly:
"When I get back tonight, I'll discuss with my parents about renting land to build a greenhouse."
"Well, I think dad will definitely agree, and he will definitely get angry with anyone who objects."
............................
When Wang Lidong returned home, it was almost six o'clock.
In the morning, I found diamondback moths on many cabbage leaves, which are insects that specialize in "opening the skylights" for cabbage leaves.
After having lunch, he used local materials, mixed some biological pesticides, and finished it in one afternoon.
Before, I could only use a trap and manual operation, which would take several days.
Queen Mother Lin Guizhi was washing things. When she saw her eldest son carrying a hoe and bucket into the yard, she hurriedly greeted him:
"Qinglai, come here and wash your hands before eating."
After putting away the tools, washing hands, and entering the canteen, I heard the little girl's voice.
"Brother, why are you back so late?"
"Suddenly there were a lot of bugs."
Xiuyu got up and went to the kitchen to prepare food, but she kept saying:
"Brother, why don't you wait until the health care product factory opens and you can work in the factory? You won't be exposed to wind or rain, and after a year, your income will be much more than farming."
The Queen Mother on the side also agreed: "Qinglai, why don't you listen to Xiuyu? Secretary Wan promised that Xingfu can also go in, and then our whole family will enter the factory."
The money you make from working all day long, getting up early and working hard, is not as much as a girl like yours.
Wang Lidong said:
"Mom, when you enter the factory, you have to listen to other people's orders and do whatever others ask you to do. How can you be as comfortable as farming on your own? Besides, who says farming can't make money? I discussed it with Xingfu today and thought that if you do it well
You can earn this amount in one year.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a '7' gesture.
Wang Youde, the king's father, regained his energy and hurriedly asked:
"70,000. What good idea did Happiness have? What are you going to plant?"
Wang Lidong said:
"Dad, Xingfu thought of this. Let her tell you."
Xingfu put down the Kuaizi in his hand, and then explained in detail what he had discussed with Wang Lidong at noon today.
"What, 700,000?? Qinglai, Xingfu is not talking nonsense, is it?"
Everyone in the room also put down their kuaizi, they were really frightened by the numbers reported.
There are five people in their family, and the harvest from the fields plus Xiuyu's salary does not exceed 100,000 in the best year, let alone more than 700,000 a year.
Siluke
In the entire Wanjia Village, there are very few families with an annual income exceeding 700,000 yuan.
Wang Lidong swallowed the rice in his mouth and said:
"Dad, it's 700,000, which is still the lowest. After all, with my farming skills, the yield per mu can still be one or two thousand catties."
"Be good, be good."
Wang Youde couldn't sit still for a moment, stood up excitedly, and then spun around on the spot, mumbling continuously:
"700,000...more than 700,000..."
Lin Guizhi calmed down quickly:
"Qinglai, is it reliable? It's really so profitable to grow small tomatoes. Why doesn't anyone grow it near us?"
Wang Lidong said:
"Mom, I originally planned to finish harvesting this crop of cabbage and start planting small tomatoes. Last month, I went to some growers to see the yield. The yield was as low as 8,000 and as high as about 5 pounds.
In Wanjiazhuang, there are only a few households left that grow food. Who cares about what vegetables can make a lot of money?
There are people who make a fortune from farming, and they don’t talk about it everywhere. I just said it accidentally when I was chatting with Lao Zhang.”
The younger sister Xiuyu said happily:
"Brother, that doesn't mean our family will be rich."
Wang Lidong smiled and said:
"If nothing unexpected happens."
Queen Mother Lin Guizhi said to her eldest son and daughter-in-law:
"Xingfu, according to what you said, the parcel of land, the greenhouse, the seeds, and the fertilizer will cost more than 400,000 yuan in total, but our family can't afford that much money."
Wang Youde, who was happily taking a bottle of white wine and preparing to pour a glass and take a few sips, heard his wife's words and immediately put down the wine in his hand:
"Yes, our family now has a total of only about 100,000 yuan."
