Chapter 215 Sensation
The seventh day of the fifth lunar month, Sunday.
Early in the morning, after eating white porridge with cucumber peels, Deng Shirong took his six children, nephew, niece, and nephew's son-in-law to Lychee Mountain to pick lychees. As for his daughter-in-law, he stayed at home to take care of the children.
At the same time, Deng Yunqiang also took his children to Lychee Mountain to pick lychees.
Today is the day that the two of them agreed to pick lychees. As for Deng Changfu and his father-in-law’s lychees, they will save them for tomorrow.
There are ten laborers in Deng Shirong's family. Even though Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng are a bit young, the lychee tree is not that high to begin with. It is not difficult for the two of them to help pick lychees. The picking speed is not much slower than that of adults. .
In just over half an hour, more than 20 baskets of lychees were picked.
Upon seeing this, Deng Shirong ordered: "Yuntai, Dashi, we can just pick the rest. You two start transporting lychees to your home!"
Someone immediately asked: "Jiu Gong, have you finished picking all the lychees?"
Finally, after statistics, Deng Shirong’s family’s lychees totaled 2,658 kilograms and sold for 1,329 yuan.
…”
Hearing Deng Shirong's answer, the few villagers who were good at arithmetic immediately calculated a rough number, and couldn't help feeling excited. Especially the villagers who had already planted Guiwei lychee trees in their homes were full of surprises.
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said: "Dad, don't forget, our family also has a straight lychee tree, which can weigh three to four hundred kilograms. Are you afraid that our family will have no lychees to eat?"
"How can the taste of lychees be compared with the taste of cinnamon? Tomorrow is Shuangwangwei. I just pick them and sell them in the market. I guess I can make some money."
Amid the discussion among the villagers, Deng Shirong’s family returned, bringing with them the last three baskets of lychees.
At this moment, those villagers who did not dare to plant lychee trees because they were afraid of taking risks felt regretful and slapped their thighs.
I believe that after today’s stimulation, every household in the village will cultivate orchards and plant lychee trees.
In one hour, Deng Shirong and others picked a total of thirty-five baskets of lychees.
There are even some impatient villagers who plan to plant lychees this year.
…
"I asked before when I went to Shuangwangwei. They sold it at 6 jiao and 8 cents per catty in the wei market."
Deng Shirong's family and Deng Yunqiang's family were picking lychees today. Naturally, the villagers couldn't hide such a big news. The villagers who received the news came to Deng Shirong's house out of curiosity to see how much the lychees from these two families could be sold for this year.
Someone else asked: "Uncle Jiu, what is the purchase price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative?"
After all, when Deng Shirong first started planting lychees, he had no intention of eating it alone. At that time, he suggested that everyone should follow suit. However, many villagers got cold feet when they heard that the initial investment would cost several hundred yuan.
“Even if there is only 70 kilograms per basket, the thirty-two baskets add up to more than 2,200 kilograms. Does anyone know what the purchase price of this supply and marketing cooperative is?”
Seeing the "real money" in the hands of Deng Shirong and Deng Yunqiang, the villagers present were so excited that their faces turned red.
Bu Dafang glanced at the remaining lychees that had not been picked, and said in surprise: "Uncle, can you pick at least more than 300 kilograms of the remaining lychees and keep them all for eating?"
“Jiu Gong’s family has brought back thirty-two baskets of lychees. Do you know how much this basket of lychees weighs?”
Deng Yuntai and Bu Dashi agreed, then started to carry baskets of lychees to the foot of the mountain, and then used bicycles to transport the lychees back.
A bicycle can transport four baskets of lychees at a time, and two people can transport eight baskets together, which is very efficient.
Deng Shirong said: "Keep it. I have grown so many lychees. If my family doesn't have any lychees to eat, what's the point of making more money?"
Compared with theirs, Deng Yunqiang’s family is much slower because they don’t have bicycles and have to use manpower to carry them back one load at a time.
After the trucks from the supply and marketing cooperative took away all the lychees, the villagers dispersed.
“If this bamboo basket is full, it will weigh about seventy or eighty pounds!”
"My uncle is still willing to eat it. Other people's lychees are so eager to sell them all. If you keep them, they will cost hundreds of kilograms. It's really scary."
“Fifty cents per catty.”
In this era, anyone who can earn 30 yuan a month or 360 yuan a year will be envied by countless people. The 1,531 yuan earned by Deng Yunqiang’s family is something that many big families in the village cannot earn in three years. Who can see the number and not be irritated?
Although planting lychees requires an initial investment of at least several hundred yuan, the cost can be recovered in just one year and a lot of money can be made. No family really wants to miss this kind of business.
As for those who were not good at arithmetic, their faces showed shock when they heard that others calculated that two thousand kilograms of lychees could be sold for one thousand yuan.
"What are you thinking? The supply and marketing cooperative gives you a purchase price, which is different from the retail price in Weishi." "That's right, what is the purchase price?"
“Is it so expensive? Can anyone with good math help me calculate how much Jiu Gong’s family can sell for these two thousand or two hundred kilograms of lychees?”
If someone else said this, the villagers might not be able to listen. Who knows if you are afraid that I will get rich by saying this?
But when Deng Shirong said these words, even the impatient villagers listened.
Looking at the remaining lychees, Deng Shirong said directly: "Okay, don't pick the rest, keep them for yourself to eat slowly."
In the second year of planting, I had an income of more than 1,000 yuan, which is simply incredible.
“Okay, don’t sigh, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, please help move the lychees down!”
…”
Deng Yunqiang’s family’s lychees totaled 3,062 kilograms and sold for 1,531 yuan.
Especially those villagers who later followed the planting of Gui-flavored lychees were extremely concerned.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the medium-sized tractor sent by the supply and marketing cooperative drove to Deng Shirong's house, and then the lychees began to be weighed and loaded into the truck.
As basket after basket of lychees was brought back from Deng Shirong's and Deng Yunqiang's families, the villagers who came to watch couldn't help but start discussing.
All the villagers responded in agreement after hearing this.
“I don’t know about this, we haven’t sold lychees before!”
Everyone thought they were leaving a little, but they really just kept a little. I am afraid they never dreamed that Deng Shirong would save more than 300 kilograms for his own consumption.
…
Deng Shirong listened to the general idea and thought of the extreme weather this winter, and couldn't help but warn: "If you want to plant lychees, you can first cultivate the orchards, but it is not recommended to plant them this year. It is better to wait until spring next year. , so that the survival rate of the saplings is higher.”
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "If you haven't finished picking it yet, keep some for yourself."
Then, the news that Deng Shirong's family and Deng Yunqiang's family had sold lychees for more than 1,300 and 1,500 yuan was like having wings. It spread throughout the Bangjie Brigade at an extremely fast speed, and even spread to other brigades. passed.
In this day and age, earning more than a thousand yuan a year is really very attractive.
