Chapter 874

~8 min read 1,417 words

On this day, Yu Gaoshan came to Pengwan Town again. He came to inspect the vegetable planting situation because he heard Su Xinghui say that the vegetables in Pengwan Town were about to ripen.

Before Yu Gaoshan came, he called Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui waited for him in his office. After Yu Gaoshan arrived, Su Xinghui poured him tea and smiled. "You, Boss Yu, are busy now. It's really not easy to see you."

Yu Gaoshan said, "You're talking about me? You're the busy one. I passed by here several times when I went to Meng Hu Ling to collect goods, and every time I looked for you, you were either down in the village or back in the county."

Su Xinghui said, "Boss Yu is actually blaming me!"

Yu Gaoshan said, "Did I say it wrong? But it's true, we are both busy people now. You, the Town Mayor, are busy, and I am running around everywhere. Isn't it to find sales channels for the vegetables in your town?"

Su Xinghui said, "Okay, you've worked hard, Brother Gaoshan. How are the sales channels?"

Yu Gaoshan nodded. "It's still very effective. I ran many old relationships, restaurants, enterprises, supermarkets. The vegetables on the more than ten thousand acres of land I contracted should be no problem. I also found some vegetable vendors and asked them to come here to collect vegetables. When the time comes, if my vegetables sell well, I will try to sell more."

Su Xinghui said happily, "Brother Gaoshan, you have solved a big problem."

Yu Gaoshan said, "By the way, Xinghui, a few days ago, the company bought two heavy-duty trucks, tractor-trailers. One trip can pull twenty or thirty tons of vegetables. A total of nearly five hundred thousand was spent, and more than half of the company's working capital was thrown in."

Su Xinghui nodded. "This should be the case. This belongs to the company's fixed assets."

Yu Gaoshan said, "I will go to the villages that signed the exclusive sales contract with us last time today to see when their vegetables can be ripe and listed. I will bring a cargo truck to pull the goods when the time comes."

Su Xinghui stood up. "Okay, let's go."

Su Xinghui went out and called Liu Yongjun, and the two accompanied Yu Gaoshan to Xiaohu Village first. The thousands of acres of vegetable land in Xiaohu Village basically signed exclusive sales contracts with Yu Gaoshan.

Arriving at Xiaohu Village, Su Xinghui went to the village committee first and didn't see Village Director He Yaofa. Su Xinghui asked and learned that he was in the vegetable field, so he drove to the field. After wandering around for a while, he saw He Yaofa, who was inspecting the growth of vegetables in a vegetable field with several people.

Su Xinghui asked Yu Gaoshan to stop the car, got out of the car, and shouted, "Old He, Old He!"

While shouting, Su Xinghui got off the field with Yu Gaoshan and Liu Yongjun and walked toward He Yaofa and his party.

He Yaofa turned his head and saw it was Su Xinghui. He said happily, "Town Mayor, you are here!"

Su Xinghui smiled. "Old He, look who I brought?"

He Yaofa also saw Yu Gaoshan behind Su Xinghui at this time, and he was even happier. He shouted, "Boss Yu, how are you!"

Yu Gaoshan said, "I heard from your Town Mayor Su that your early-maturing vegetables are about to reach the ripening season, so I came to take a look and prepare for the acquisition."

He Yaofa smiled. "Yes, our early-maturing vegetables are about to ripen, and we are waiting for Boss Yu."

Yu Gaoshan smiled. "Are you waiting for my money?"

Everyone burst into laughter. He Yaofa said, "Money is also waiting, and people are also waiting. At noon today, let's have a few drinks!"

Yu Gaoshan said, "Let's not drink. I drove here myself today and can't drink. Next time I come to collect vegetables, I will bring a driver and have a few drinks with you."

He Yaofa said excitedly, "That's good. Bring a driver next time."

Yu Gaoshan said, "Okay, let's take a look at the growth of the vegetables."

He Yaofa nodded. "Okay, let's come over and look at the cabbage in this field first."

The field where He Yaofa and the others were standing was planted with a kind of early-maturing cabbage, which had basically started to head.

Yu Gaoshan asked, "Director He, what is the variety of this cabbage? How many plants are planted per acre? What is the yield?"

He Yaofa said, "This cabbage is called Qiufeng No. 1, which belongs to the early-maturing type. 3,500 to 4,500 plants can be planted per acre, and the heading rate is over 95%. The weight of each cabbage is eight taels to one catty two or three taels, and the yield per acre is over 3,000 to 5,000 catties. This year, the climate is good, and this field uses drip irrigation equipment, so the average weight of each cabbage is at least over one catty, and the yield is at least over 4,000 catties."

Yu Gaoshan said, "That's a bumper harvest!"

He Yaofa nodded. "It's a bumper harvest. This is all thanks to the experts from the Agricultural University. They often come here to guide us in planting. Look, this is a student of Professor Huang. His name is He Changjun. Now that the cabbage is about to ripen and be listed, he is also here to see the growth."

Yu Gaoshan said, "That's right, we must farm scientifically now, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the situation."

He Yaofa said with emotion, "Yes, this year we have tasted the sweetness of scientific farming."

Yu Gaoshan said, "Then can the average yield of early-maturing vegetables in your village reach 4,000 catties this year?"

He Yaofa nodded. "In the past two days, Xiao He has turned around the fields in the village. He said that the average yield can reach at least 4,000 catties, and in some places, it may reach 5,000 catties."

Yu Gaoshan then calculated, "Two tons per acre, then the vegetable yield of your village alone is several thousand tons. This is not a small amount."

He Yaofa asked, "This yield has gone up, but I don't know how the acquisition price of cabbage will be this year?"

Yu Gaoshan smiled. "Director He, don't worry. This autumn, there is a lot of rain, and the temperature has been relatively low. The varieties and quantity of vegetables in the Jiangcheng market are not many, and it is in a period of vegetable shortage, so the prices of Chinese cabbage and cabbage are relatively high. The acquisition price these days is around one mao five."

He Yaofa shouted in surprise, "One mao five? That's great!"

One mao five per catty, this price looks inconspicuous, but compared to the yield of several thousand catties per acre, this price is quite high. One acre of cabbage can sell for five or six hundred yuan. If the yield can reach five thousand catties, it can sell for seven hundred and fifty, which is equivalent to more than one thousand catties of rice, which means that planting one acre of cabbage is worth two or three acres of rice.

What is this concept? In the past, what farmers rotated with rice was wheat. The wheat yield was pitifully low. After deducting the input, there was not much profit. That season of rice was the main source of income for farmers for a year. But now, the income of this season of vegetables is two or three times that of rice. Can He Yaofa not be happy?

This is indeed a good season. It is now the turn of autumn and winter. The weather is getting colder and colder. In the 1990s, there were very few greenhouse vegetables. The vegetables that can be listed in this season are indeed pitifully few. Otherwise, the north would not hoard thousands of catties of Chinese cabbage every winter.

Although the south is a little better, the variety of vegetables is not many, so this cabbage can fill the shortage of the vegetable market. Can the price not be high?

Yu Gaoshan said, "Director He, don't worry. According to this trend, the price of cabbage will not fall in a few days, and there is only a possibility of rising." ===== CHAPTER 876 =====
