Chapter 504

~8 min read 1,418 words

Speaking of Cherokee rose fruit, Guo Dong is really full of resentment!

The sky-high price of 300 per jin, she didn't even bargain (actually tried but failed, after all, it's a seller's market.)

As a result?

Just talked about it, Song Tan was busy selling peaches, and there were few people in the village to take care of it.

It was not easy to sell the peaches, and the old people in the village also took scissors and gloves to collect the Cherokee rose fruit... Honestly, it's not easy. After all, it is actually the flowering period of Cherokee rose fruit now. This thing's vines are climbing in layers and spreading everywhere...

The old people squinted their eyes to find this early-ripening fruit in the flower bushes, and the work efficiency was simply falling again and again.

But when weighed, it was less than forty jin in total, and it was still fresh fruit! After removing the thorns and seeds and baking, it would be a blessing if there were ten jin.

This process lasted for a long time, because everyone handled this thing for the first time, and it was a bit unfamiliar.

Although twelve jin can match many medicines, Guo Dong's medicine is continuous, and I don't know how many orders have been accumulated during this period! Don't underestimate men's enthusiasm and spending power!

Ten jin... how many customers is ten jin enough for?

At this moment, mentioning this, she had a bitter tear: "Uncle, 300 per jin, at least handle it separately for me—even if you bake it with a small stove, the output will be faster than now, right?"

Now?

The golden-red Cherokee rose fruit is scattered on the ground, all relying on a sun to dry—baking only takes a few hours, and the sun takes several days!

300 yuan, is it so unworthy?

Guo Dong thought aggrievedly: But if this acquisition price is released, medicinal material merchants from all over the world can block her from going out!

But the problem is... now... she is a humble buyer?? ^??.

Song Sancheng:...

He stammered, after all, he is not the master: "That... sun-dried... Yang energy is heavy! Essence!"

Guo Dong was speechless: Just now you spoke expert language, and now you speak Yang energy?

She said seriously:

"Lard nourishes the body and benefits Qi, clears heat and detoxifies, and has high vitamin content. It is really a good thing passed down by our ancestors. Uncle, don't listen to the marketing accounts."

"And Cherokee rose fruit has heavy sugar content. Sun-dried sugar content cannot be dried, and the storage time will be much less. The dryness of baking is better, and it will be more beautiful."

Then there was a sigh: "Uncle, this is me, neither wanting appearance nor long-term preservation... otherwise, how can you do this Cherokee rose fruit business!"

But it doesn't make money anyway!

Song Sancheng muttered: Asking three people to go up the mountain, the labor cost is 300 a day, and they are asked to handle it. Because the quantity is small, the labor cost is not much, a total of 150.

But these forty jin of Cherokee rose fruit, ten jin of dried fruit can be sold for 3000 yuan, and the labor cost is 450...

Tossing for so long only earned two thousand, it's not that Song Sancheng doesn't look down on a few thousand yuan now, it's really that this business is done very unlike it!

This made him think that it is rare that he is at home today. Seventh Grandpa wants to kill a pig in the front, and Guo Dong comes to talk about medicinal materials in the back. Neither is easy to handle!

Forget it, forget it!

He carried the carrying pole: "Song Tan is the master at home, I'll go fish for water caltrops!"

Song Sancheng carried the bucket and ran away, refusing to handle these things at home, while Seventh Grandpa took Seventh Grandma and went up the mountain to stroll around, missing those pigs even more.

However, Seventh Grandma glared at him: "You are capable! Who doesn't know lard is delicious? Who wants to kill the pig when it hasn't grown up like you? If you put it decades ago, the whole village would scold you for not knowing how to live!"

She looked at it, the pig is in good spirits now, and it will definitely be able to grow further!

And Song Tan didn't know these things. At this moment, she took people to stroll around the mountain, looking at the four people sweating profusely but not stopping, thinking that this is much stronger than Wu Lei!

Do agricultural students have this physique?

I don't know if their practical labor is expensive? If it's not expensive...

Her eyes stared at Tang Xiaodong, thinking that she would find this most active one to inquire first. If it really doesn't work, summer vacation workers and winter vacation workers are also okay!

Professor Song didn't notice the capitalist's careful thinking. At this moment, he held the tablet and gestured: "Here... here the slope is gentle, and there are no plants growing. Either there are many rock layers at the bottom, or it is barren... mark it, tentatively do processing area and rest area."

"Teacher, I think this position is also good, higher, convenient to monitor the bottom... In addition, look, if you build a road here, connect to the paddy field at the bottom, and install a thresher, oil press, and flour mill, it is convenient to operate directly..."

This is Qi Lin.

"Here is okay, but the place is too small. The processing area and rest area should be separated, and a large amount of flat space should be left for drying... The construction cost will be much higher."

Tang Xiaodong also followed the analysis.

Yan Ran leaned over and gestured: "There should be a vacant lot planned here. Working in the village is all about wrapping meals. Song Tan also said that she would hire a chef separately. These three hundred mu of workers, if not busy, may be a few, if busy, it is estimated to be a hundred..."

Several people were sweating profusely, discussing enthusiastically, Song Tan couldn't bear it: "The sun is big, why not go back and discuss?"

Professor Song didn't even lift his head: "Don't worry, we are wearing hats, it's only nine o'clock, it's okay."

At nine o'clock, the temperature is 37 degrees!

Song Tan had to use the trump card: "Eat tender chestnuts? I'll take you to prune, and by the way, see where the black fungus and tremella will expand the scale. And my dad went to fish for water caltrops, he should be back by now, right?"

Professor Song:...

He closed the tablet immediately: "Let's go, it really can't be against the sun, the tablet is hot."

Song Sancheng did fish for a lot of water caltrops.

Of course, there is no difficulty in this. It is stepping into the water and using a hook to hook a pile of vines up. Anyway, there are so many on the side, just hook it casually without heartache. Look, it didn't take long to hook a carrying pole.

He rested for a while, reached out and plucked a water caltrop the size of a coin, green, because it was still small, the thorns were not so ferocious and hard. Just need teeth to bite gently, and you can bite the seam open.

Then use your hand to break it, the shell opens, revealing the white tender meat inside.

Staring at it for a while—it is indeed quite small!

The shell is a one-yuan coin, and the water caltrop rice is only five cents. Then stuff it into your mouth—

Oh my!

That tender, crisp, and sweet!

Song Sancheng felt beautiful in his heart instantly. He reached out and plucked another one... then another... then another... finally one... this time it's really the last one... water caltrops, it's not worth much, eating one more doesn't matter...

Until his face was hot from the sun, he came back to his senses—good guy, a pile of vines in the carrying pole was turned into a mess by himself, and his stomach was full again.

He felt guilty for no reason.

At this moment, he carried the flat pole on his shoulder and returned briskly, while pondering: Should I plant some lotus roots next year? Lotus root stewed pork ribs, lotus seeds are also delicious!
