The 1984 years seem to pass faster than in previous years.
Li Long took the big broom for a shorter time than usual. After Li Jianguo and his team cut the pole back, the speed of the fourth team building a large broom was increased. In addition, from Qingshui River, Li Long would send a batch of large brooms to the supply and marketing cooperative almost every two or three days.
It took less than twenty days in total for eight thousand brooms, and this speed surprised Li Xiangqian and Director Wei and others.
At first, Li Xiangqian suspected that the quality of the broom was fast and not good, but after inspection and verification by technicians at both levels, the quality of these brooms was qualified.
In particular, the provincial cooperative agency called me specifically, and there were 8,000 large brooms, and there were no unqualified ones. In terms of this, it may be that some of the few that had broken or had shapes during transportation. Squashed.
Because there is a margin left, this batch of large brooms are fully qualified. The procurement department received by the State Cooperative praised the county supply and marketing cooperative. Those who came to the autonomous region to inspect the acceptance were specifically checking the situation of these big brooms and gave them a positive opinion.
After saying that, it has saved my face. At least in the next few years, the order volume of large brooms will not be reduced.
This time, the big broom job brought Li Long a net income of 12,000 yuan. Although everyone knows that Li Long must have made a lot of money in the middle, the villagers, especially those from Qingshuihe Village, are still extremely grateful to Li Long.
There are more than 3,000 large brooms in Qingshui River. At first, they could have more than 300 qualified large brooms every day, but later they got slower.
The sedge grass cannot be supplied, and the pole cannot be supplied.
On the contrary, the fourth team started to cut the poles when Li Jianguo and his team cut the poles, and then the output increased.
Li Long remembers that he had already started using machines in his later generations, and he didn't know if he could develop it now.
But he didn't think about asking the agricultural machinery factory to study it. If this thing is studied, it would not be a good thing.
It's not like a medicine jar for spraying medicine. If you make the medicine jar, it will save effort and labor for the crops.
File the machine to build a big broom is equivalent to concentrating the money Li Long had originally thought of placing a broom to everyone on a few people.
It's different from his initial idea.
So forget it. His idea is that the harvester has now matured and is slowly spreading in northern Xinjiang, and even penetrates into southern Xinjiang. Then the next step is to look at the research on the spraying tank.
It has been two years since the contracting of production to households, and the production teams have less and less mobile land, and more and more land is distributed and contracted to farmers.
The land is our own, and everyone is increasingly motivated to work, and they are constantly reclaiming wasteland.
Growing grain alone can no longer meet farmers' yearning for getting rich, so growing cash crops has been put on the agenda.
The fourth team of economic crops are mainly used to make melons. In the villages next to Liangdonglou, green onions are planted, and in some places, watermelon, hops and other crops are also planted.
At the beginning, I was exploring slowly, many of them following the steps of the corps.
I have to say that in the agricultural development of northern and southern Xinjiang, the Corps is a real pioneer; growing economic crops, such as cotton and melons, all start from the Corps.
The use of mechanized planting and tractors also start from there. At this time, there were actually quite a lot of Kangmain in the Corps. There were at least one regiment farm, and there were more than one Oriental Red 75-chain rail tractors.
Li Long's impression was that the high-horsepower wheel tractor was also used in the first place since the Corps. In the 21st century, when cotton was planted on a large scale, the Corps was the first to use cotton picking machines, including other related equipment.
The last time Xie Yundong and Tao Daqiang and others had harvested wheat from several other townships, they heard that some townships had already started growing cotton.
Although it is a small area, it is a good start.
As long as cotton starts to be planted on a large scale, the on-demand and on-demand machines and strip-drilling machines used to plant cotton will be popularized. Later, auxiliary machines such as rod making machines and spraying cans were invented, and finally cotton picking This is the last limit, and it directly kills hundreds of thousands of cotton picking troops coming from the mainland every year.
Although the price of melon seeds is OK at present, the market is so large. Li Long estimates that the price of melon seeds may drop this year. When more people planted next year, let alone more than three yuan. The price of more than one yuan may not be kept.
So Li Long must prepare for the future and give his family a vaccination in advance.
Shortly after the big broom was collected, the melons started to be picked.
After Li Long rested for a few days, he went to the team to help his elder brother's house.
Last year, I harvested the melons for several days after harvesting ten acres of land, but I still hired people. This year, there are still many families in the team who have planted them, so it is unrealistic to hire people to pick and harvest melons.
In addition, his family doesn't raise pigs much anymore, so Li Jianguo simply pulled the big pot into the ground like last year, picked it and pressed it. After a day, he picked a cart and pulled it back.
You can't be idle when you go back, and you have to spread the filtered melon seeds and flatten them.
Otherwise, the roasting factory will not collect it.
Li Long drove the jeep to his elder brother's yard and found that there was no one in the yard, and even his mother Du Chunfang was not there. He knew that the whole family had gone to the field.
He drove the jeep into the melon field again, and he met Tao Dayong, who was leading a donkey cart on the way.
Tao Dayong was pulling a cart of melons on the donkey cart, and waved hard when he saw Li Long's jeep.
Li Long pulled over the jeep. Tao Dayong had already come over, took out the box from his pocket, and took out a bit of a shrunk smoke from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it to Li Long with a smile.
"I won't suck it, Dayong, you suck it. How is this year? I think this is good."
"Okay." Tao Dayong said happily, "To be honest, I didn't even think about it myself."
It can be so good. Last year, when I asked your brother to buy melon seeds, your brother said that the melon seeds were shrunk. I thought it was okay at the time and thought it could be planted.
At that time, I thought that the yield was reduced by half. If you collect seventy or eighty kilograms per acre of land, it is better than growing grains at three yuan. I didn’t expect it to appear. Look at it, how can one acre of land be able to collect more than 100 kilograms of melon seeds? "
"Okay, you can make a lot of money this time." Li Long said smoothly, "Do it well."
"It's thanks to you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have this seed in our team. If it weren't for your elder brother, I wouldn't know how to deal with it when I returned to the planting. Then there would be insects I don’t know how to fight, so I’ll sell the melon seeds tomorrow. I have to thank you for your family.”
Tao Dayong said sincerely at this time, and Li Long just listened to it and asked him to take back the melon before talking about it.
When I arrived to get the melons, I saw a tractor parked on the ground, and there was a big pot inside the ground. The eldest brother, sister-in-law and mother were picking melons and delivering them to the pot.
Li Long parked the jeep under the shade of poplar trees beside the tractor on the ground, took a straw hat from the passenger seat and put it on his head, then put it on his gloves, and walked into the ground.
A bunch of melons were already placed next to the pot, but he couldn't suppress it alone, so he followed his elder brother and the others to pick melons.
After picking a few, the sister-in-law Liang Yuemei said, "Xiaolong, you and your elder brother should press the melon seeds. You are very strong, and the melon seeds are pressed cleanly."
"Okay." Li Long walked towards the pot with three melons in his arms.
Li Jianguo also followed with melon in his arms.
The two boards on the big pot have been crossed. When Li Long and Li Jianguo came over, they put a melon in the middle of the two boards.
The two of them worked together, and the melon was crushed when they beat the melon, and the melon seeds and melon juice flowed into the pot together.
"Brother, this melon may not be able to plant so many next year." Li Long said while pressing melon seeds, "The roasting factory collects so many in a year. According to the output, our family is enough for half of it. Then, it's enough to have another one."
"I remember that didn't someone agree to us last year to come and harvest melon seeds?" Li Jianguo was a little puzzled. Of course, there was another thing that he couldn't bear to bear the benefits of harvesting melons - after all, ten acres of land can be replaced with a tractor. Who doesn't want to do this?
If most of the melon seeds were sold to the roasted goods factory last year, otherwise the people in the team would have been able to wrap the rest.
Just this, the whole team and the outside, there are hundreds of acres of melon seeds.
"That won't be much." Li Long shook his head, "The market is so big, and everyone is still used to knocking on melon seeds. This is fresh and not mainstream.
If there is a market of more than ten tons around us, it will be full. If we count the seed market, we will be able to survive thirty tons. According to this method this year, there will be thirty to forty tons in terms of harvest. If the market is saturated, the price will be There is no way to keep it.
This year, everyone is watching our families make money. There will definitely be a large number of people next year. Not to mention three to five hundred acres, three to five thousand acres. At that time, the price of melon seeds will definitely fall, and the trouble is that it may fall into a nose, and no one will collect it in the end. "Li Long analyzed it with great confidence, and Li Jianguo couldn't help but nodded. This is the reason.
"What to plant next year? "Li Jianguo was a little worried, "I finally had someone who could make money. If I don't plant it next year, I will feel a little unwilling to accept the wheat. "
"Then let's ask more. I heard that there are cotton plants in the Corps. "
"That's true," Li Jianguo picked up a melon and put it in the middle of the board, and asked Li Long to press it hard together, saying as he pressed it, "Han honestly, cotton has been growing there long ago , the output is not very good, and this requires manual cotton picking, which is very troublesome. ”
At this time, picking up cotton is indeed a big problem. If you plant less, you will not make a large scale and you will not make money. If you plant too much, you will need to have labor to stay at home for a long time to pick up flowers. This is a tiring job.
And the more you go, the more expensive you spend. In the end, there were strange things that manual picking costs were higher than cotton.
Li Long vaguely remembered that the two years before the last life when machine-picking cotton became popular, the manual fee for the second flower mining was three yuan and five yuan, but the old man in the team pulled the cotton to the processing factory and gave it to him. The purchase price is 2.9 yuan -
Because cotton is bloomed after being cracked by the sun, the peaches of cotton cannot bloom at the same time, which leads to the first flower twice or even three times. flower.
The first flower is of the best quality, and the amount of harvest is usually the largest. The second flower is considered to be repeated, because the amount of harvest is small, so the labor cost will be higher.
In September, farmers will use flowering agents to make cotton bouquets bloom as much as possible, but some cotton bouquets will use flowering agents before they mature, so that more cotton will bloom, and more flowers will be blooming.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
In this way, the cotton seeds are forced to spit out of floes. The cotton seeds are immature, and the cotton portion will be light and the floes are not long. In the sentence, the clothes are not enough.
It's very contradictory.
It's gone far.
"If it can be planted scientifically, the yield of cotton can still be increased." Li Long pressed down hard, pressed out the melon seeds, then picked up the broken melon peel and pulp to the side, and picked up another melon to put it on. Good location, pressed and said: "Now all we plant on land cotton. I heard that if we planted thin films, the yield will increase. But this is just one type, and you can think of other ones. , such as growing spicy food, green onions, etc. "
"That's even worse. How can you control growing vegetables in the fields? A worm disaster is over."
Li Jianguo just started When he was a professional pig farmer, the five acres of feed land allocated to him by the team was the original land where the team specialized in growing vegetables. He had been in charge of those vegetable fields and knew that growing vegetables in the fields was not easy, not as extensive as growing grain, and it was too troublesome.
The two of them were chatting and discussing together, after all, this was related to the direction of farming in the next few years.
Although Li Jianguo has made some money in the past two years, except for the money from selling melon seeds last year, the rest seem too illusory to him. Not to mention a one-time transaction, it is still unsafe in general.
The farmer's mind will be the safest thing to farm. As long as you find a good way, farming will make a fortune and become rich is not a dream.
At least from the point of planting and harvesting melons, he saw hope.
The way is very important. I didn't have the chance to try before, but now I can not only try, but I also have the confidence to fight against failure. Now he has a lot of money. Even if he grows some cash crops, it will not be a big deal if he fails.
So he thought more about what to plant than Li Long, and he was even thinking about growing medicinal materials, growing cabbage, etc.
Li Long still admires his elder brother in this regard. He is no longer a pure farmer, but after he has experienced so much, he still regards farming as a very important thing.
In the next few days, Li Long came back every day to help his elder brother collect and pick melons, but he only did this. After going back in the evening, Li Jianguo and his family would press the seeds into the flat. Li Long couldn't do this, so he asked his mother and elder brother and sister-in-law to rush back.
After all, there are two children in the big yard, and it is not a big deal for this father to be outside all day long.
In ten days, the Li family's melon harvest was harvested. This year's average harvest was lower than last year, but more than 3,300 kilograms of melon seeds were harvested in twenty acres of land.
These melon seeds were all flat-packed and piled up in the Li family's idle house for two days, and then they were bought one after another.
They didn't even go to the roasting factory to deliver goods.
In fact, before the sale, someone came to Li Jianguo and the others to ask. The main ones are Tao Daqiang, Liang Dacheng, Xie Yundong and others.
They collected a lot of melon seeds from each household, and Tao Daqiang and others learned from Li Jianguo and the others to flatten the melon seeds; the captain Xu Chengjun thought it was troublesome.
At that time, someone came to buy seeds as soon as they were harvested. The private roasted man who came here last year also drove a tractor to buy it, but the price he gave was not high, two yuan and six yuan.
Most people didn't sell this price because they knew that the price given by the Shicheng roasted goods factory would definitely be higher. Moreover, when this person came, everyone knew that it was easy to sell melon seeds, so people would collect it without going out. So the people in the team, from other villages in the villages, and even from other townships, came to buy seeds.
So I came over to ask Li Jianguo and Li Long.
Li Long and the others gave the opinion that it would be worth selling if it could be sold for 2 yuan, after all, it would be more money than planting wheat.
Li Jianguo was the first to plant melons and was the most famous. Others who bought seeds first looked for their family.
Li Jianguo did not raise the price this year, and even lowered the price a little, and sold the seeds for three yuan.
Tao Daqiang, Xie Yundong and others followed the Li family and left for three yuan.
However, Xu Chengjun thought about asking for a high price, but hesitated. Tao Dayong originally thought about asking for a high price, but after being scolded by Tao Jianshe, he stopped insisting.
But his reputation is not that good, and he and his wife are a little lazy and have not flattened the seeds of melon, so there are not many people going to their homes to purchase goods.
In the end, he simply put on a donkey cart and pulled the melon seeds from his home to the county's private roasting factory, and sold it for 2.7 yuan.
Li Jianguo's melon seeds sold the fastest, and sold about 20 acres of land for about 10,000 yuan, which shocked everyone in the team.
People who have not bought the melon seeds have gone to some other people's homes to buy it. This time, Liang Wenyu's family also took advantage and built a household that is 10,000 yuan.
When Liang Wenyu came to Li Jian's country to announce the good news, he also enthusiastically stated that he would try to plant thirty acres of melons every year.
"The price of melons will definitely be reduced next year, so you can't plant so many." Li Jianguo hit his brother-in-law's enthusiasm, "Think about it, farmers have sold the seeds this year, and there will definitely be a large area next year. The melons appear, who will be sold to? Then if you can’t sell them, you can only reduce the price..."
Liang Wenyu figured it out in an instant.
This year, I planted twenty acres of melon seeds in my team, and more than 3,000 kilograms of melon seeds were basically sold to the team and surrounding teams.
Based on this number, the number of people who plant melons around my team next year will probably have 200 to 300 acres, which is more than all this year.
There are naturally more teams here.
In fact, when Li Jianguo was selling melon seeds, he also reminded those people that it is best not to plant too much.
Some people listened, but some people were saying sour words behind their backs:
"Your family got rich by planting this. Are you afraid that others would make money and say that? People should not be too selfish. ! ”
When Li Jianguo heard this later, he was so angry that he stopped talking.
Go to love all kinds of things.
It's hard to persuade the damn ghost.
Li Long also had the same idea. Some things were clearly explained, but some people only saw ten centimeters in front of them. If you were a little further away, he would not even look at them when you slid his eyelids.
Don't worry.
After harvesting the melons, the Li family also wanted to harvest corn and sunflower. Li Jianguo refused to let Li Long do these bits of work, and told him not to run back if he was fine. There is no way to collect and beat melons. There is not enough manpower and he doesn’t need his help at the moment, so he can take good care of the family.
Li Long was also happy and leisurely.
Then Li Qingxia is about to come back. (This chapter ends)
