Chapter 050 The corn is not harvested, no one cares!
A week later, the corn harvest began.
They are right, this year's corn harvest is really bad. When the corn was in bloom, a heavy rain and hail swept through Maixiang Village.
Although the large tracts of corn are not dead, the yield has been greatly reduced, and the corn cobs are so small that the market price of corn is about 60 cents per catty in Maixiang Village, but 30 cents per catty.
Three cents per catty is not enough for fertilizing and watering, so farmers who rely on drought and floods to ensure harvests are reluctant to sell corn. They are sad, sad, and stand on the ground sighing.
They hope that someone who harvests corn will give them a slightly better price, not to mention making money, as long as they maintain their capital!
Traffic in Maixiang Village was originally not very good. There used to be a few corn harvesters, but later there were no more.
The disaster in the Maixiang Village area does not mean that the entire corn production has been reduced. The corn harvest in other towns and villages in Linfeng City is quite good, and many grain merchants are willing to go there to harvest.
This undoubtedly makes the villagers even more desperate. They cannot wait until the corn harvest period has passed and the winter wheat sowing date will be delayed. This will be more gain than loss.
Some people plan to store it in a granary, but the weather has been cloudy during this period and it cannot be dried in the sun. The granary will definitely become moldy!
The village chief, Niu Dasheng, personally took action. He made a special trip to the town to find the mayor, but the mayor also said that there was nothing he could do.
The only thing he could say was that he could convince others to harvest it, but the price might be 3 cents or even lower than 3 cents. The village chief came back dejected, looking at the corn cobs in the field with a frown.
Qin Fan passed by the village every day, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw the sighing expressions of the villagers. He was about to miss the wheat sowing period, and still no grain merchants came.
Some people did not believe in evil and went to the county town specifically to find corn harvesters. However, they were disappointed and either refused to go or said they only got two cents.
Some people went directly to the food station, but were kicked out before they even entered the gate.
Qin Fan saw this and was really anxious. He didn't care at all that his family had so little corn, but there were more people in Maixiang Village and the price of corn was so low, which made many villagers' lives difficult.
In the afternoon of that day, Qin Fan went to the mountains to collect herbs, refined two bottles of health-care liquid overnight, and drove a truck to the county grain station the next morning.
He originally wanted to call Webmaster Hu directly. He knew that Webmaster Hu would definitely send someone if he asked, but it was difficult to tell the price over the phone.
After careful consideration, Qin Fan decided to make a trip, which also seemed sincere.
"Brother, what brought you here!" Stationmaster Hu hurriedly asked Qin Fan to sit down and served tea and water himself.
Qin Fan sat down and said with a polite smile: "I was passing by and just came in to sit down."
"You just come in and sit by, that will make me happy, brother," stationmaster Hu said enthusiastically, then sat down next to Qin Fan and said with a smile: "Brother, do you have any good treasures?"
"Nothing!" Qin Fan shook his head, stared at Stationmaster Hu and asked, "How are you doing?"
When he mentioned that aspect, Stationmaster Hu's eyes immediately lit up, "Brother, do you want me to take you to a place to try? Let you see how powerful I am. I will definitely make the woman on the bed scream with pleasure."
Qin Fan glared, "I'm not going!"
"Seriously, brother, do you have any health care liquid? I want to consolidate it!" Webmaster Hu said with a smile.
"Yes, someone else wanted two bottles, and I happened to bring them today!" Qin Fan took them out.
Stationmaster Hu looked at the medicine bottle as if he were seeing delicious food. He immediately grinned and discussed: "You think this bottle can last for a week. Can you give my brother a bottle and give it to him then?"
Qin Fan shook his head, "That's not okay. How can you change what you promised to others?"
"Oh, the dead are alive." Stationmaster Hu hurriedly turned around and took out 30,000 yuan from the cabinet, "Brother, this bottle is for brother, 30,000 yuan."
Qin Fan looked at Qian and smiled, shook his head and said, "Well, I'll give you this bottle of medicine for free, but you have to do me a favor."
"Just tell me what you're doing to help me. No need to be polite to my brother. As long as it's your business, I'll help you without saying a word!" Stationmaster Hu immediately hugged the medicine bottle happily.
When Qin Fan saw what the other party said, there was no need to beat around the bush and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, please send someone to collect the corn in our village."
"Oh? That's it!" Stationmaster Hu paused, looked at Qin Fan and said: "To be honest, brother, this year's corn harvest in Maixiang Village is obvious to all. Even small corn kernels are empty, and the transportation is inconvenient, so there are many
No one is willing to go, and besides, we are only responsible for collecting food and not distributing it."
Then the conversation changed, "But since you have spoken, my brother will help you no matter what."
When Qin Fan heard the other party's offer of help, he didn't show much reaction, but asked: "What about the price?"
"The price...how about 40 cents per pound?" Stationmaster Hu thought for a while and said.
Qin Fan shook his head, "One pound and five cents!"
Qin Fan thought that this year's corn was indeed not good, and the market price of 40 cents could not be reached, but he could negotiate with the villagers as much as possible.
"Brother, you can take my brother's life. You can't do it for fifty cents!" Stationmaster Hu shook his head.
Qin Fan glanced at him, "Fifty-two cents is quite low. I'll give you this bottle of medicine. If you need any help in the future, I can help you. That's it!"
"Brother, the price of 50 cents is really high. Even if it is 40 cents, I would grit my teeth and make the decision. After all, there are so many pairs of eyes watching the food station."
"I can't control this. Others don't know you, and I don't know you yet." Qin Fan waved his hand, "Brother Hu, what if I plant corn in the future and look for you specifically?"
"Really?" Stationmaster Hu cried with a sad face and was suddenly surprised. After all, the corn that Qin Fan sold him last time was sold at a very high price. Although the quantity was not large, he made a lot of money.
"This is still fake. Since when have I ever played tricks with you?"
Stationmaster Hu looked at Qin Fan's serious look and immediately patted the coffee table and said, "Well, since you're serious about what you said, I'll accept it!"
Suddenly, Stationmaster Hu looked at the bottle of liquid medicine and realized what he was doing. He said speechlessly: "What a little fox. Why did you suddenly come here today? It turns out you were setting a trap for my brother."
Qin Fan grinned at the other party, "It's too late if you see through it, so hurry up and do it!" Qin Fan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Then I'm leaving!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's almost noon. Let's finish our meal before leaving. I'll take you to take a shower by the way."
Qin Fan knew as soon as he heard that something was up, and shook his head and said: "You should enjoy it slowly!" Just as he was about to leave, Qin Fan turned around and warned: "By the way, when the time comes to harvest corn, don't tell everyone that I asked you to come.
of!"
""This is a good thing for meritorious service. It's not like being a thief. What are you afraid of!" Stationmaster Hu said depressedly.
Qin Fan shook his head.
He has always acted in a low-key manner, as long as the villages sell corn, he doesn't want to show how powerful he is, let alone people with ulterior motives to make a fuss about it.
Qin Fan left the food station and originally planned to go to Lin Sirou's house, but he gave up when he thought it was almost afternoon.
Then he drove back to Maixiang Village. He went directly to Village Chief Niu and waited for Station Chief Hu to send someone to harvest the corn.
