Chapter 1619: Oil Citrus and Yellow Mealworms
Boss Chang hung up the phone with a broken heart.
But before that, he still humbly indicated that there was a batch of good tangerine peel in the store, which would be mailed to Song Tan to taste.
Just hope that if she intends to make tangerine peel, she must not forget him.
And even emphasized repeatedly: "People say that an ounce of tangerine peel is an ounce of gold, and a hundred-year-old tangerine peel is better than gold."
"Even if you don't sell it now, it's worth saving for thirty or fifty years at home."
"This batch of tangerine peel I have is also good stuff, 37 years! If it weren't for you, I would never take it out."
"Don't waste it, taste the taste, it's really good."
"If this is auctioned, my 250g, selling for a million or so is no problem at all."
Song Tan:...
Not to mention she is saving it for thirty or fifty years, just this tangerine peel... how does it sound more fancy than ginseng?
Their area is just not suitable for planting ginseng; many years ago when 【Getting Rich】 was promoted, some people in the village scattered ginseng seeds on the mountain.
As a result, it died when the temperature was high, otherwise it would have been arranged long ago.
"Is it really that good?" Song Tan hasn't tasted it.
"Hmm!" Boss Chang was aggrieved: "If I say this tangerine peel, some people will drive thousands of miles to taste it."
Song Tan couldn't say she wasn't moved.
She wasn't moved by the value, mainly because she was really curious about the taste of this thing.
Selling it is almost impossible.
This also wants, that also wants, it's enough for her own family to eat, but if everything is sold, how much is enough? And where is there such a big place?
If she wraps the land again, she is too busy here.
Therefore, she firmly didn't pick up this topic.
But she couldn't let Boss Chang suffer this loss, so she thought about it: "Do you want money for this tangerine peel? Or..."
Boss Chang almost became anxious: "Do I lack this money? If I really lacked it, I would have sold it to you at a marked price."
"But you have to promise me after tasting my tangerine peel, if you make tangerine peel at home, you can only give it to me."
Song Tan said nicely: "Haven't made it yet, the orange trees are nowhere to be seen."
Boss Chang of course knew: "I am still young, can wait, not in a hurry."
Wait until he is seventy or eighty, and then hold a tasting meeting, just to taste the old Song family tangerine peel stored for thirty or fifty years...
Hey!
Thinking about it, he feels that this old man is very capable!
The initiator Lu Chuan touched his nose: he just said it casually, in fact, tangerine peel soaked in water is also quite healthy, it's quite good to plant two trees at home.
He said this, and the pressure was given to Tang Xiaodong again.
He asked many seniors and sisters seriously, and then replied:
"If you want to make tangerine peel, the best is definitely planting tea branch citrus. Tea citrus and oil citrus are mixed like this, but essentially it is tea branch citrus."
"But one region has one flavor, whether it can have the taste of Xinhui here, I dare not guarantee. Like big red citrus, in fact, it is also okay, but the flavor will be worse."
"Since the family has already planted orange trees, if you want to make tangerine peel, make it fine, just rely on tea branch citrus."
Song Tan was curious: "Only the peel? Can the orange meat be eaten?"
Tang Xiaodong subconsciously swallowed his saliva, squeezing his eyes: "Sour!"
Not only sour, but also sour and astringent, ordinary people really can't take it.
He explained: "The characteristic of this tea branch citrus is that the peel is thick and the oil is heavy, and the taste is very distinctive, so its essence is in the fruit peel."
"And, you can't wait for the orange to mature to pick it when making tangerine peel, pick it before it matures. You can think about that sour and astringent feeling."
But once the orange is peeled, it can't be stored, and after half a day, that layer of membrane will be hard, even if you can endure the sourness, the taste will be worse if you eat it again.
It's just that this kind of immature green orange, can't even be made into canned food, the flavor is too poor.
This made Wu Lan listen and feel very heartbroken: "This is too wasteful..."
Those who plant land can't see this.
But it's so sour, even if you give it to pigs, you are afraid that the pigs will eat it badly...
"Then how do those who plant this oil citrus deal with it?"
Tang Xiaodong was also helpless: "Too sour, doing fertilizer is very limited, most of them are buried in the ground for landfill treatment, waiting for it to decompose naturally."
There are also a small part sold to feed factories to feed insects.
He hesitated: "You... why don't you get two small rooms, use citrus to feed insects, and then sell insects?"
Song Tan:...
Never expected that her agricultural tycoon road would add a seller of insects.
"This is too broken limit..."
"Don't ask you to raise it."
Tang Xiaodong said seriously: "Don't raise housefly maggots, grubs, just raise yellow mealworms."
Song Tan, no matter what she is not afraid of, felt her scalp numb at this moment: still housefly maggots? Grubs?!
"What is a yellow mealworm?" This sounds much healthier.
Lu Chuan added on the side: "Breadworm."
"Yes," Tang Xiaodong nodded: "This is very popular! Climbing pets, like turtles, loaches, yellow eels, chickens and ducks, and some fish, all eat this."
He searched on the internet casually, and one with a monthly sales volume of over 10,000 appeared.
"Look! Business opportunity!"
Song Tan shook her head: "This is not a question of money..."
Wu Lan looked over: "This thing is also okay after drying. A little bit can sell for more than ten yuan?"
She was moved: "I can do this business too."
Song Tan shook her head quickly: "Can't do it! Our family doesn't plan to plant large-scale oil citrus! Just dry a few jin at home!"
Thinking that there is still Boss Chang, people have paid so much, so she added: "Dry a few dozen jin!"
Tang Xiaodong raised his hand weakly: "That, did I not say, 100 jin of oil citrus only produces 5 jin of peel."
"One tea citrus in the peak fruiting period, the annual output is 40-100 jin."
If you want to dry a few dozen jin of peel, you have to plant fruit trees in the peak fruiting period directly, at least ten trees!
This 10 trees want to raise insects, and have to match with something else.
In short, Song Tan didn't agree: "I feel uncomfortable when I see these things alive, why don't we just compost it. It's okay to be slow, anyway, our fertilizer volume is large, and it doesn't count for anything if it's scattered."
Wu Lan searched for the living thing, and didn't speak.
Tang Xiaodong also nodded: "That's fine, save trouble. Otherwise, this fruit meat definitely can't be fed to insects directly."
"First, separate the fruit juice, use the fruit juice for fermentation fertilizer, dry the fruit meat to feed, easy to store. If you want to sell the seeds inside, you can pick them out, it is a medicinal material."
Song Tan shook her head: "Our family doesn't plant much, it's not cost-effective to get these equipment for so much."
In short, Song Tan acted: "Ten trees, you arrange it, Xiaodong brother."
She is no longer the Song Tan who had to grind shipping costs and grind extras when buying saplings, just arrange the fruit trees in the prime of life!
If it's tight, it can fruit this year.
Tang Xiaodong frowned: "We have to reorganize the place where you plant millet."
"I will circle a few pieces of land for the grapes, you determine it as soon as possible."
"If there are crops on it, you have to harvest them as soon as possible."
He looked at the schedule: "Peaches mature next month, plus high temperature weather, it's not suitable to delay any longer."
And in the distant East City.
The young girl hung up the phone and turned to discuss with her father: "Didn't you say that the few tea citrus trees in the west are a bit dense? I sold ten."
Father's hand paused: "Sold? How did you sell it?"
Who is lacking in their orchard?
Shouldn't be.
Since their tea citrus became famous, every family's land is either contracted by themselves or contracted to others, in short, there is no half-leisure.
Now after so many years of development, those that are not in the peak fruiting period have been replanted into the peak fruiting period, where is there any empty land to plant this?
Don't look at ten trees not much, if you want to plant them and want high output, it also takes up a lot of space.
"Where did you sell it?"
The girl laughed: "Sold to my senior brother."
"His boss does a big farm, doesn't lack money, 2000 a tree, a total of twenty thousand, we pack the transportation, and it's sold."
Their tea citrus trees have been 7 years old, managed very well, wide shape and rich results, every spring they twist branches and adjust directions, just to not delay more fruit.
The daughter learned a lot of skills in agricultural university, just for the land at home.
Now it's popular to circle branch citrus, but this resistance is relatively poor, many novices can't plant well, but theirs are all strong branch strong seedlings.
Although the trees are not large, the output is really rich, in short, senior brother said he doesn't lack money, then do it according to not lacking money. If it's cheap, naturally there are cheap fruit trees.
Father didn't say anything, just muttered again: "Asked too much for your senior brother's family, won't it affect the future?"
The girl was stunned: "Where is it high? Transportation costs are very amazing. And our tea citrus has small green citrus on it. To ensure the fruit, we have to bring a very large soil ball when digging the ground."
"How much can local transportation cost..."
Father was very afraid that his daughter would not handle this senior brother and sister relationship well.
"It's not local!" The girl said generously: "Central plains area, Ning Province, do you know Yun City? Just there."
Father was stunned, then lit a cigarette again:
"You, you..."
He didn't know what to say, just sighed:
"Our family doesn't lack this twenty thousand yuan, don't pit the interpersonal relationship. You have real skills in school, and if you use it again later, the reputation is broken, and people look down on you."
This daughter's agricultural university didn't go in vain. Since she went to school, the contacts and channels are all kinds.
Other families have changed to those famous fancy circle branch citrus, but he only needs to adjust like this and adjust like that, and the fruit that comes out is not bad at all, the peel is thick and the oil is fragrant, and there is a unique honey fragrance.
Those who know the goods come to collect theirs every year.
Saying not lacking this twenty thousand yuan is really not said casually.
At this moment, he said earnestly: "After so many years, why is our tea citrus famous, and other places haven't done it? It's because one side of water and soil is the same tree."
"You have been to school, you must also know that orange born in Huainan, orange born in Huaibei."
"The Ning City you mentioned, I know. Their winter is minus six or seven degrees, and there is a probability of freezing to death when planting orange trees—even if there are those that don't freeze, that is also a good position, or some domesticated varieties, thick peel or early maturity."
"These 10 tea branch citrus trees must be a large piece of land, not easy to protect, whether they can pass the winter is another matter."
"Then there is water and soil—after so many years of agricultural development, I haven't heard that the fruit trees there are planted much, how can planting our tea citrus work?"
"I know you feel sorry for these fruit trees and don't want to deal with them casually, but selling them like this, in the end, not only will people not make tangerine peel well, but the sour green citrus fruit won't taste good either."
"Daughter, don't lose big because of small."
The only thing worth praising is that the daughter really didn't pit people on shipping.
Transporting so far, and trees with super large soil balls, saying no money earned is also true.
The daughter laughed: "Dad, am I that kind of person? Which year did the purchaser come and not say our family is thick-hearted? I inherited this from you."
"Besides, this senior brother of mine is not an ordinary person, his tutor is the famous Professor Song, can he not know this?"
"Specially came to contact me, just told me that the boss doesn't lack money, and the handiwork of planting land is super good—do you know that their tea can sell for hundreds of thousands a jin? No market!"
"This tangerine peel is not intended to be sold, just to catch a freshness and try it yourself, not lacking this bit."
Besides, the girl was confident: "If you really bought it, our family also covers after-sales service."
Although the senior brother's theoretical knowledge is very strong, their family is the one who has really planted tea citrus trees for many years, and practical experience is more important in this regard.
But father ran off the topic.
"Tea worth hundreds of thousands a jin?"
He became interested: "Haven't heard that there is any famous tea in that area?"
On the contrary, people in their area drink tea and stew soup, which is really the most important thing.
At this moment, they asked curiously: "It isn't just hype, is it? Is it really that capable? What must that tea taste like?"
The daughter hesitated: "I don't know—I'll ask senior brother, if there are samples that can be mailed over for us to taste."
Tang Xiaodong handled this matter briskly, and in less than a day, he found Song Tan again:
"Boss, can you apply for two ounces of tea to be mailed over?"
He explained:
"The climate here is not suitable for planting tangerine peel, I am afraid that the quality of this tangerine peel will not work by the end of the year, and the trees will be wasted."
"The junior sister there said that if the tangerine peel doesn't work, she can teach us how to make their unique small green citrus tea for free in July or August the year after next—when the time comes, we mail small green citrus samples over, and we can also introduce purchasers."
In short, as long as the money problem is not a problem, the two sides actually chatted very happily.
Song Tan also became interested: "Small green citrus tea?"
"Yes." Tang Xiaodong nodded: "This is not difficult, there are many tutorials on the internet. But the heat and time control, it is more convenient to have someone teach hand-in-hand."
Song Tan made a decision: "Mail half a jin over, since you can make green citrus tea—Xiaodong brother, why don't you ask, can we have 20 more?"
Tang Xiaodong:... He has already circled the place!
He has a very good temper, and at this moment he asked nicely: "It's not a scale to have 20 more trees to make small green citrus tea, and it's a bit too much for your own family to drink, are you sure?"
Song Tan nodded: "Mainly to taste different flavors. Drinking green tea alone is also quite monotonous. Ferment black tea, cooperate with small green citrus, want to see if there is any novel taste."
"It shouldn't be sold, our green tea quality is so good, it's a pity to make fermented black tea."
"Mainly because the scale is small and not worth tossing, our family has many people, and it will be gone after sending a few."
"Okay."
Tang Xiaodong asked: "Their family can just free up 41 trees, why don't we take them all, the price can be cheaper."
"This junior sister of mine has good character, and she has a lot of experience in raising trees. The quality of their trees is really not bad, the video she took was sent to you, full of fruit, otherwise it wouldn't be so afraid of transportation."
Fortunately, it is only June now, the fruit is not big, so it can still withstand long-distance. Plus super large soil balls, transportation without hurting roots...
In short, in the eyes of every agricultural person, this is stacking buffs.
But my own boss really has the ability to plant land, the water and soil here are really good.
Then what can be said? Grit your teeth and do it.
Song Tan agreed: "Okay."
After thinking about it, she asked: "What month is small green citrus tea usually made?"
Tang Xiaodong found out: "July-September is fine."
Song Tan pondered: The trees have to have a period of adaptation after being transplanted, the fruit is too small, and it has to grow a bit more, then feed more spiritual energy...
"Trouble you to ask your junior sister, can she come over to guide our small green citrus tea in September?"
"Food, accommodation and transportation are covered."
Tang Xiaodong: Why ask if food and accommodation are covered?!
He will pull her over even if he has to pluck her!
But this matter is not over yet!
He has already handed over the tablet: "Before, the grapes you said, which varieties did you choose? And how many do you want to plant? Hurry up and circle the place."
Song Tan was helpless: "I have chosen all the varieties you recommended."
It's just that the planting scale is still under consideration.
The area of fruit trees increases, the area of vegetables has to become smaller...
But—
"It's not bad, right? Then let's have 50 mu first."
As for how to distribute the area of various varieties, that is Tang Xiaodong's business.
I don't know if it's a blessing or not to have such a boss who has a lot of land and money to toss.
Tang Xiaodong sighed: "I looked at the weather forecast, the temperature is getting higher and higher, planting this year, it is difficult for fruit trees to adapt, and it will not fruit until next year."
"And, the fruit seedlings in the peak fruiting period are just about to differentiate flower buds, generally no one sells them."
"Even if you want to sell, the price is very high, not cost-effective."
This is different from tea citrus.
Tea citrus fruit is already hung, although transportation has loss, but there is a harvest that year.
Grapes have little chance.
If the temperature is low, it can adapt better. But the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the degree of transplanting adaptation is getting more and more difficult.
He overturned his suggestion from two days ago:
"I suggest circling the land first, but don't move the crops inside, wait until winter, November or December, when the grape branches and leaves fall, then plant them."
Although Song Tan is confident that basically everything she plants can live and grow well, reality cannot be too casual to challenge the climate environment and growth habits, otherwise it would be too exaggerated!
Besides, Professor Song's students are not taught without ability, they are all grounded, and have results.
Therefore, she also respects their opinions very much.
Now she nodded: "You plan it, you guys have the final say."
Tang Xiaodong:...
Heavenly resentment, seeing the boss trust so much, I don't know what to say.
Sigh!
Just treat it as their luck, just do it!
