Chapter 486 Taking advantage of the situation (at least 830.01 million)
"This sweet-scented osmanthus smells so good!" Zhu Lingyun looked at the blooming sweet-scented osmanthus and felt much better.
But she also had some doubts. Generally speaking, most osmanthus flowers only start blooming at the end of August or early September. Why are the osmanthus flowers here a month early?
But she suppressed this doubt in her heart and did not ask it.
These days, vegetables are not seasonal, and greenhouse fruits are not in season. Osmanthus blooms a month earlier, which is really not a surprise.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers all the way, I followed Cao Shujie to the parking platform on the mountain.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
Zhu Lingyun looked at the orchard in the north that was surrounded by barbed wire fences, and she wanted to find out.
"Director Cao, is this your orchard?" Zhu Lingyun asked him.
Cao Shujie nodded, led the way, and continued walking into the orchard.
As he walked, he introduced the size of the orchard and the distribution of fruits in the orchard.
When they entered the orchard through the small door on the south side of the barbed wire guardrail, Cao Shujie pointed to the area to the east and introduced it to Zhu Lingyun and others.
"There are 57 acres of land here, 37 acres of red-heart kiwifruit and yellow-heart kiwifruit, and another 20 acres of apples."
Just after introducing this area, Cao Shujie pointed to the area to the west and said: "There are also seven acres of orchards here. I plowed out all the old fruit trees last year and replanted them with new varieties. This was also an experiment I did."
Hearing the word experiment, Zhu Lingyun was curious and asked what kind of experiment he did?
Then I heard Cao Shujie talk about cultivation management, grafting, simulating the original ecological environment, etc.
Zhu Lingyun felt like she was listening to a book from heaven, nodding in agreement from time to time, but she lost interest in this experiment.
"There are also 20 acres of land in front of me that were originally planted with strawberries, but the strawberries I had planted for two years had reached their growth limit and I pulled them all out. I will plant new strawberry seedlings this year." Cao Shujie said about the strawberries in his orchard.
The layout is memorized.
Zhu Lingyun and the people accompanying him had no reaction after hearing this. They were not experts in this field and were not familiar with this area.
But when Cao Shujie talks about it, he sounds very noble.
"Director Cao, how much income can your orchard generate?" Zhu Lingyun asked the most vulgar question.
When the others heard Mayor Zhu's inquiry, they also listened attentively.
Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "It's not a lot. There was a heavy rain some time ago. This year's kiwi fruit production will be reduced a lot. Fortunately, the kiwi fruit in my orchard are not small. One acre of land can weigh about 2,500 kilograms. Here I am."
A kiwifruit orchard of 37 acres can produce more than 90,000 kilograms.”
But Cao Shujie also said that this year's output is not high, mainly due to two aspects.
In addition to the impact of the heavy rains just mentioned, there is another problem. This is the first year for these fruit trees. The yield can be regarded as high yield if it can produce 2/3 of the normal production capacity.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, everyone had a frame of mind, but another question came next, how much can these kiwis be sold for?
"Director Cao, how much does your kiwi fruit cost per pound?" Zhu Lingyun asked.
Then they heard Cao Shujie say a number that they couldn't believe.
He said that the kiwi fruits in his orchard are all fruits with higher nutritional value than ordinary kiwi fruits, and the single kiwi fruits are large and basically reach the category of super fruits when picked. A pound of such kiwi fruits costs about 40 yuan.
.
The price is one-third more expensive than his previous varieties.
These people didn't know that Cao Shujie's kiwi fruits had previously sold for more than 30 yuan per pound. When Cao Shujie said that these red-heart kiwi fruits and yellow-heart kiwi fruits would sell for more than 40 yuan, a group of people were stunned.
Someone in the accompanying crowd made some calculations and shouted in surprise: "Can these be sold for more than 3.6 million?"
He couldn't believe this number, but Cao Shujie nodded: "About that. The main reason is that the output this year is not large. If the output is large, we can sell more."
As for this price, it is not outrageous. The price of good kiwi fruit on the market is not low.
It was not the first time for some of these entourage people to eat fruits produced in Mengmeng Orchard, but most of them were gifts from others.
Few of these people came to pick the fruit themselves, and naturally they didn't know that the price of fruit here in Cao Shujie was generally much higher than the market price.
It was also at this time that they, including Zhu Lingyun and others, realized that the value of the fruit gift boxes those people gave them was so high. They thought it was quite cheap at the time, but now they suddenly felt ridiculous.
Together they have eyes that cannot recognize gold and jade.
They are not surprised that there are so many people buying such expensive fruits. There are many products in this market that are sold to people in need.
"Mayor Zhu, come with me into the orchard to have a look." Cao Shujie led them into the orchard to see what the fruits looked like up close.
…
When Cao Shujie took Zhu Lingyun and his party to watch the kiwis at close range, Cao Jianlong got the news and hurriedly ran over from home on his electric bike.
He parked his electric car at the entrance of the orchard and ran directly into the orchard.
When he saw Cao Shujie, Zhu Lingyun and others walking out of the depths of the orchard, he suddenly stopped and did not dare to step forward.
At this time, he remembered that he heard from other villagers that Cao Shujie was talking to the city leaders.
How could he, a village party secretary, get there?
"Director Cao, is there anything else to the north of your orchard? Let's go there and have a look." Zhu Lingyun pointed to the north and said.
When she was in the orchard just now, she seemed to hear something shouting from over there, but it was a bit far away and she couldn't hear it clearly.
Cao Shujie took her towards the north.
"Mayor Zhu, to tell you the truth, I raise 20 sika deer and more than 400 cattle there." Cao Shujie said this.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Zhu Lingyun's brain circuit was interrupted again.
She never expected that Cao Shujie not only grew fruits, but also raised cattle and sika deer.
"Raised so many cows?" Zhu Lingyun was confused.
Cao Shujie nodded and said: "I have a total of 457 cattle in the breeding farm here. I also have a breeding farm in the south with 300 cattle."
This must be a big cattle farmer.
When Zhu Lingyun followed Cao Shujie to the Deer Park, he saw 20 sika deer running up and down the deer park. There were also many children outside the barbed wire guardrail of the Deer Park, holding on to the barbed wire to look at the sika deer inside.
There are also some old and middle-aged people chatting together here.
When they saw Cao Shujie, Zhu Lingyun and others, they all stood up and shouted "Shujie" or "Director Cao".
I don’t know Zhu Lingyun and others.
When the children saw so many people coming, they subconsciously ran behind their adults and peered at the strangers.
However, when I saw Cao Shujie, some children called him Brother Jie, and some called him Uncle Jie, which made it seem quite lively.
…
Cao Shujie took Zhu Lingyun and the others to see the Mengmeng Orchard, and then walked down the mountain road to the north.
Seeing that it was already noon, Cao Shujie invited them to go to a farm restaurant to experience the simplicity of a country restaurant.
Zhu Lingyun and others had no plans to eat, but Cao Shujie's mouth could talk the dead back to life.
He rambled on and on, which made Zhu Lingyun and others really interested in the farm restaurant.
I came here to taste the affordable prices of the country restaurant and the taste of the specialty beef.
Zhu Lingyun was full of praise for these beefs.
Liu Furong, who had not intervened since arriving at Caojiazhuang from Qingshi Town, finally said something at this time: "Mayor Zhu, these beefs are the cattle raised in Director Cao's orchard."
"So that's it. I said this beef is different from what I usually eat. It tastes good, very chewy, and has a fruity flavor." Zhu Lingyun gave a very objective evaluation.
Cao Shujie smiled and accepted.
After sending Zhu Lingyun and his party away, Cao Shujie did not follow them to Qingshi Town.
He knew that everything was done in moderation and that the rest of it had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, bringing Zhu Lingyun and others from Qingshi Town to Caojiazhuang and then to Mengmeng Orchard today has already made a lot of money for Cao Shujie.
After Zhu Lingyun and others return, they will definitely arrange today's schedule to be featured on TV news.
As long as Zhu Lingyun expresses his approval of his company and Mengmeng Orchard in the news, today's wave will be considered a profit.
…
When he saw Cao Jianlong, Cao Shujie said to him: "Uncle Long, I saw you were standing at the gate of the orchard just now, why don't you come over."
"Oh, he is a city leader, and I am just the village party secretary, how can I dare to go there?" Cao Jianlong said.
"What's the matter, Uncle Long? You just think too much."
Cao Shujie shook his head helplessly: "You have suffered a big loss today."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm not as stupid and bold as you." Cao Jianlong said this.
Cao Shujie laughed, and the two of them came down from the orchard together: "Uncle Long, today's matter is an opportunity for our Caojiazhuang, we must find a way to seize it."
"What do you mean?" Cao Jianlong didn't understand the meaning of Cao Shujie's words at all.
He also scolded Cao Shujie: "You can't say something easy to understand."
Cao Shujie was choked heavily, but he still said: "Uncle Long, our village has been recognized by the city leaders. For such a big thing, you must seize the opportunity, vigorously publicize it, and vigorously develop it."
Cao Jianlong understood this time and said, "Can it be done?"
"Why not?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Jianlong was speechless when asked.
That afternoon, Liu Furong called Cao Shujie and said that his performance today was very good. Both the city and county leaders spoke highly of Cao Shujie's performance.
In addition, Liu Furong revealed that Cao Shujie may participate in the selection of an award.
This tone confused Cao Shujie. He wanted to ask Liu Furong what kind of award this was and where he would go to participate in the selection, but Liu Furong didn't say a single extra word.
Cao Shujie simply didn't think much about it. He thought that the Yiling City TV news that night would broadcast the news about Zhu Lingyun's visit to Mengmeng Orchard today, but he guessed wrong. The local news channel of Yiling TV had no news about Zhu Lingyun at all.
news.
This moment made Cao Shujie wonder, could it be that Zhu Lingyun was the kind of unpopular city leader?
