Jiang Xiaofan watched coldly from outside the crowd, quietly watching how Expert Huang performed.
Expert Huang looked at the villagers and said sadly: "There was too much rain in the past two days, and oranges are in a critical growth period. After being soaked by the rain, the oranges in the yard now have yellow spot disease to varying degrees.
Yellow spot is an infectious disease, and the fungus will penetrate into the orange fruit. Only light yellow spots can be seen on the surface, but the pulp has rotted and deteriorated.
If left untreated, all the oranges will soon be infected."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the villagers changed.
"Expert Huang, what should we do?" an older villager said in fear.
"Two ways." Expert Huang stopped and raised two fingers towards the villagers: "The first way is to cut down all the diseased orange trees to prevent the yellow spot disease from continuing to spread. But I just observed
At one point, about 70% of orange trees had yellow spot disease."
At this point, Expert Huang stopped deliberately.
The surrounding villagers immediately exploded, with a look of fear on their faces.
"If we cut them all off, all our hard work over the years will be in vain."
"Yes, I still took out a loan, and I haven't paid it off yet..."
"This method will definitely not work. I will never chop down trees..."
"Expert Huang, what is the second method?"
Seeing the worried eyes of the villagers, Expert Huang felt happy: "The second method is to use medicine to completely kill the yellow spot bacteria."
The villagers' faces instantly showed joy: "Expert Huang, we choose to use medicine, what medicine?"
Expert Huang's excuse: "I brought some of the nutritional medicines, which are jointly produced by the research institute and the pharmaceutical factory. But this batch has already been reserved..."
A villager next to him asked anxiously: "Expert Huang, how long will it take to produce the next batch?"
"Okay, let me make a call and ask." Expert Huang took out his mobile phone, walked to the side and started to make a call.
When Jiang Xiaofan saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The villager who just asked the question had an eye-catching leprosy on his head. He was very active and could always ask many questions to the key points.
If he hadn't been wearing rural clothes, Jiang Xiaofan would have almost thought he was Expert Huang's assistant.
As if aware of Jiang Xiaofan's doubts, Zhao Fugui, who was standing next to him, explained: "My name is Scarlet King. He is a second-rate boy from Sanglou Village. I heard that he knows a fruit wholesaler in the county and he planted more than ten acres of oranges today."
"There is something wrong with this person." Jiang Xiaofan concluded.
"What's the problem?" Zhao Fugui asked in surprise.
Before Jiang Xiaofan could explain, Expert Huang came over with his mobile phone and said with a sad face: "I just asked the research institute and the factory. Because this is a new type of drug, the next batch will not be released until a month later."
"No! It's too late. The orange trees will wither in a month!" the villagers shouted over and over again.
The Scarlet King rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Expert Huang, how about this batch of nutritional medicine be used by the people in our village first. You are an agricultural expert, you can't just watch everyone's fruit trees die, right?"
"That's right, Expert Huang, can we use this batch of nutritional medicine first?" The villagers' eyes lit up and they all followed the Scary King in begging.
Expert Huang hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, I will make a decision without authorization and give you this batch of medicine first."
The Scarlet King continued to ask: "Expert Huang, how did you sell this batch of nutritional medicine?"
"A box of nutritional medicine costs 299 yuan, which can probably manage an acre of land. From now until the oranges mature, it is best to use it three times in a row. This will not only resist diseases, but also have a significant effect on increasing production." Expert Huang said in an unquestionable tone. said.
"Oh my God, this nutritional medicine is so expensive!"
"It's 299 yuan per box, and it's worth a thousand yuan if you use it three times."
"The key is to only care about one acre of orange trees. Which of us doesn't plant ten or eight acres?"
"My family has planted more than 20 acres, and it costs more than 20,000 yuan to harvest them all. How much can we sell oranges for..."
"That's right, who can afford this nutritional medicine..."
"..."
After hearing what Expert Huang said, the villagers in Sanglou Village immediately started whispering. There were looks of shock on their faces, obviously frightened by the price of Expert Huang's nutritional medicine.
The purchase price of oranges is only 40 cents per catty, and one acre of land can plant about 50-80 oranges. The output is about 2,000 kilograms, and the income is about 1,600 yuan.
However, the nutritional medicine costs 1,000 yuan, and minus the fertilizer and energy invested, it is basically a year of work in vain.
Therefore, after the villagers settled their accounts, they all backed down.
Seeing the reaction of the villagers, Expert Huang's face fell, and he quietly winked at the Scarlet King.
When the Scarlet King received the signal, he immediately jumped out and said fiercely: "Don't make any noise!"
As soon as the truth came out, the orange orchard suddenly became quiet.
The Scarlet King is a second-rate son of Sanglou Village. He usually hooks up with the gangsters in the town and often does sneaky things in the village. Therefore, everyone is somewhat afraid of him.
"You are all short-sighted. Now you only care about the small money in front of you. When all the oranges get sick and die, won't you not be able to lose a penny?"
The Scarlet King jumped onto a mound and reprimanded the villagers condescendingly: "Expert Huang is doing it for everyone's benefit. This nutritional medicine can not only cure diseases, but mainly increase production. Think about it, the output of oranges will double after using the medicine." Times, wouldn’t it be easy to make back the money for the medicine?”
The words of the Scarlet King were very tempting, and one of the villagers couldn't help but ask: "Sister...Brother Wang, can the output really be doubled?"
Although the question was about Mangy Zhu, the villagers looked at Huang Zhunjie one after another, obviously curious about the production volume.
Expert Huang said with determination: "As long as we use nutritional medicine, the output will at least double, and even triple."
Some villagers nodded in agreement. Originally
"How do you feel? It's really a good deal to double the price."
"Yes, one acre of land was originally sold for 1,600, but now it can be sold for 3,200..."
"Deduct another 1,000 yuan for nutritional supplements, and you can still make a net profit of 2,200 yuan..."
"After this calculation, I earn 600 yuan more than before..."
"Is it reliable? Has anyone used it? Can it really double the output?"
"..."
After hearing Expert Huang's affirmative answer, the villagers started talking again.
A small number of villagers were obviously tempted, but the vast majority of villagers still didn't trust him.
Seeing this, the Scarlet King sneered: "Don't forget, everyone has signed a contract with the orange buyer. When the contract expires in half a month, the buyer will come to the village to collect the oranges. Who will bring the oranges then? Shit, the acquirer will not purchase it, and will also have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages."
These words were like a big basin of cold water pouring down on the heads of the villagers. The villagers who were concerned about the price just now all became sober now.
The contract they signed with the purchaser clearly stipulated the delivery time.
If the goods cannot be delivered due to macular disease, they will have to pay five times the compensation to the purchaser.
These are the terms written down in black and white when signing the pre-purchase contract.
Thinking of this, the villagers gritted their teeth and said, "Expert Huang, let's buy this nutritional medicine..."
Just when the villagers were shaken, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "No, why can't the anti-counterfeiting barcode of this nutritional medicine be scanned out? It can't be a forgery, and the information cannot be scanned out at all."
The villagers were suddenly startled and turned to look at the speaker. They saw a young man in ordinary clothes, holding a box of nutritional medicine in his hand and frowning slightly.
