Chapter 1497: Village Meeting
On the second day of the May Day holiday, the villagers of Yunqiao Village were once again extremely satisfied.
The only bad thing was that tourists bought a lot of things, so the vegetables in their fields couldn't hold on anymore, even the chicken feather vegetables in Grandpa Qi Lin's grandfather's field sold for two hundred yuan today.
The little old man looked at his three-fen field, never knowing that making money was so easy!
Oh my, if it could be like this every day, wouldn't it be possible to marry a wife for Lin Zi in two years?
The little old man was beautiful in his heart!
It just so happened that the wine his grandson sent last time hadn't been finished, so he poured a small wine cup for himself in the evening and tasted it carefully, not to mention how much hope there was.
The villagers were also visiting each other and chatting about this, and now they were pointing at the Song family to sell them more vegetable seedlings—
"Those before were really not enough to sell!"
"It's not good to keep letting the Song family sell them cheaply. The ones they plant in their fields have better quality than ours, and they earn more money than us. Selling them to us is purely a loss..."
Even those who like to take advantage know that this kind of relationship won't last long.
"Didn't Wu Lan say that the experts and their students are staying here to study breeding? A year has passed, why haven't they studied it yet?"
"It should be soon, look at Tian Tian who sells strawberries, I heard that it is their experimental field..."
"My family can also plant strawberries, why are they given to other villages..."
"Forget it, a family of four serves a piece of land, and you are the only one at home. Can you do it?"
Just then, Secretary Xiao Zhu broadcasted directly: "Hey, hey, hey, is everyone there? Regarding the next development of the village, everyone take time to come to the village department for a meeting, I will talk about it specifically... It's not sending representatives, everyone who is free come..."
There was no entertainment in the countryside after dark, and it was about everyone's wallet. As soon as the broadcast came out, someone went to the village department immediately.
In the empty room where the meeting was held during the New Year, Grandpa Qi Lin and the three were already waiting there, with baskets of materials beside them—this was considered overtime for the village, and Secretary Xiao Zhu never hesitated about overtime pay, so the three of them were quite happy to work overtime.
At this moment, Tang Xiaodong stared at the form: "Are the things all right? Is the output gap not big?"
Arranging vegetable seedlings for the villagers is like this, because they were moved from the mountain for various reasons, the varieties were different, the output was different, and the economic benefits brought were also different.
"Don't worry about scarcity, worry about inequality," so they had to calculate carefully, from planting costs (including time) to income, as balanced as possible for each family.
To be honest, this kind of behavior of feeding rice to the mouth, if it weren't for Secretary Xiao Zhu's repeated emphasis that the opportunity was rare, Song Tan would never agree to do it like this.
But, her words also made sense—
"Many cities, many villages, may only wait for one opportunity in decades of development. Once you can't grasp it, you will fall behind forever."
"Feeding the villagers is not good, but as long as you persist for two months, let the repeat customers know that their ordinary vegetables are also better than those on the market, their road can go by themselves."
Thinking of Secretary Xiao Zhu's sincerity, Yan Ran nodded: "Mm. All right. We have to emphasize again tonight that this is the last time to provide vegetable seedlings."
The original plan was actually not like this.
For example, last winter, when Song Tan started providing vegetable seedlings to the villagers, the plan was to provide them regularly and quantitatively, and use three or five years to see if Professor Song and the others could study more suitable varieties.
But with her covering the village with spiritual energy, in just over half a month, the wild grass in the fields was more oily and moist than elsewhere. For perennials, the advantage of taste improvement was not obvious. But for various fast-growing vegetables that could be eaten in a month or two, the changes were truly outstanding.
That is to say, Song Tan no longer needed to provide vegetable seedlings carefully cultivated by her own family. Relying on the villagers themselves, as long as two crops of vegetables could keep up, their own agricultural economic ecology could be maintained.
This change, the trio who monitored the soil, water quality, and air in the village felt it more directly.
Today they could come to cooperate, also because of this premise.
And now, accompanied by the villagers who came one after another, Secretary Xiao Zhu also discussed the white face and red face with the village cadres, so she started quickly—
"Are you all here? If you are not here, go back and pass it on to each other."
"Everyone has seen the tourists these two days. Time is tight, so I won't talk nonsense—first of all, the Song family will provide vegetable seedlings and seeds to everyone for the last time tonight, still at the old price."
"Because there are many varieties and different quantities, but they are as similar as possible. If you want to buy, go up and draw lots yourself. Whoever draws which one is which one, and you are not allowed to exchange."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately asked: "Why is it the last time to provide, we will give money in the future."
"That's right! I don't owe money, can I buy more."
The villagers were not reconciled—anyone who saw money flying away would have to shout.
"What are you arguing about!" The village chief had a dark face: "Is it not enough to take advantage? Why should people sell them to you at a low price every day? Last winter, I told you to be bold, but you were still chattering."
"Seeing the money, you all want to come again. You have eaten the benefits for one crop, you can't always wait for people to feed the rice to your mouth!"
The village chief was an old face in the village, one of their own. Now that he said something unpleasant, everyone could only listen.
Seeing this, Secretary Xiao Zhu smiled again: "Relying on the mountain, the mountain falls, relying on people, people run. Relying on others to make money is not stable."
This is the truth, everyone actually understands it in their hearts, but now that it is said, it is not a taste in their hearts.
"Then people have ability, vegetables are expensive, so be quiet..."
"You can't say that." Secretary Xiao Zhu was not in a hurry at all: "The Song family's intention was not to make you bow your head for vegetable seedlings from the beginning, but to find a stable way for us to make money."
"Isn't this here now? First use their expensive vegetables to attract people, and then promote the vegetables in your own fields—let me ask everyone, have your own vegetables been sold in these two days?"
That must have been sold, and a lot of them.
Because good vegetables are expensive! Some families of five or six people use a basin to stir-fry green vegetables for a meal. How can they be willing to eat good ones all the time? But since they are here, they can't bear the expensive ones, can they not bear the cheap ones in the field?
For example, Grandpa Qi Lin's grandfather, chicken feather vegetables are now five yuan a jin in the vegetable market, but you have to set up a stall and clean them yourself. But in the village, people pick them themselves, give 6 yuan...
Who wouldn't be happy with this?
And the villagers didn't cheat people—Secretary Xiao Zhu said, whoever cheats and ruins the reputation, will put the name on that QR code map, cross it out!
In short, their own vegetables are fresh and sweet this year, selling them five cents or a yuan more expensive than the vegetable market, it's not too much, right!
Everyone pondered this, and couldn't say anything. ===== CHAPTER 1498 =====
