Chapter 355 355. Kudzu Root Powder
It’s not that Song Tan can’t figure it out, he just thinks that this is the only piece of mountain land left by Zhang Wang’s family, and maybe he wants to keep it for support.
However, with Zhang Wang’s family’s 30-plus acres of sloping land, her inner and outer circles totaled almost 280 acres!
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little excited!
And Zhu Jun was so sure, so she didn’t delay and simply asked directly when Zhang Wang’s family came up the mountain to help pick peaches:
"Uncle Zhang, I plan to rent more mountainous land next year. Your mountain is next to my house. Do you want to rent a piece of it to me?"
"We will listen to the opinions of the village on the rent and it can be easily discussed."
The Zhang Wang family was stunned for a moment, and then nodded without hesitation: "Okay! I'll plant it for you! How much work can I do as a cripple! But..."
He looked next door hesitantly The mountains are lush and green, and I feel a little reluctant to leave them:
“When will I rent it? Can it be early next year? I still have kudzu growing on the mountain, and I want to dig them up in the winter to dry some kudzu powder...”
Every household in the village has this mountainous land, but most people don't even make much use of it. At most, they can go up there and cut some firewood in winter, or pick a few good beams from when building a house in the past...
It's not that they have no courage or foresight, but sometimes, poverty is really a shackles.
Because I am poor, I cannot afford the risk of losing money. Playing it safe is far better than taking risks.
Because I am poor, I cannot risk my family’s life and my children’s study fees.
The cost of trial and error for farmers is too precious. It’s so precious that they would rather endure hardship and hardship without changing.
Therefore, these mountains remain green and idle day after day.
The hillside in front of Zhang Wang's house is quite big, but for him it is really useless.
Had it not been for the fact that they accidentally dug out kudzu root from the mountain a few years ago and made some money by washing, beating and drying it, the old couple would not have known how long they would have left it idle.
As for kudzu, if there is no mechanical assistance, it will all rely on the strength of a handful. Not only is it tiring to make, but it cannot be sold at a high price on a small scale.
Young people can even help publicize it online, but honest people like the Zhang Wang family will just take it to the town and wait for someone to collect it.
This kind of pure kudzu root powder is usually sold by vendors for 80 to 100 per catty.
It was his turn to sell, which was about 30-40. Occasionally, a friend or relative would buy a pack by the way.
Because they were so thin-skinned, it was difficult to ask for a higher price. In the end, they were happy to get 50 yuan.
For this reason, they didn’t go out of their way to plant the wild kudzu on the mountain. They just dug it out every year and piled it on thickly with some fertilizer collected here, and that was enough.
Now that his wife is gone and he doesn’t want to have any children anymore, it’s useless for him to leave such a big mountain alone.
Zhang Wang's family was actually happy that Song Tan wanted to rent it, but he fertilized the kudzu last year and saw that it produced many more kudzu this year.
Dig now. The kudzu vines are strong and have shiny leaves. It’s not time yet.
Waiting until Song Tan cleans up the mountainous area in spring before digging, it would be a waste of these kudzu roots.
That’s why I ask this question.
“Okay!”
Song Tan was also very happy: "But Uncle Zhang, don't dig by yourself in winter. How long will it take to dig on such a big mountain?" Come out and clean it up slowly.”
There are too many weeds, vines, shrubs and small trees on the mountain. In comparison, kudzu is difficult to grow. There is no way to deal with the mountain without an excavator. .
Zhang Wang's family rejoiced:
"Okay, if you have time, you can start clearing the kudzu and mountains in the autumn, so as not to be too busy in the spring."
< br>
That's true.
If we really negotiate a contract with the village, every second will count in the spring next year.
Song Tan nodded readily: "Okay."
After thinking about it, she said: "Uncle Zhang, I think your kudzu root is of good quality. When you dig the kudzu root to make kudzu root powder, Why don't I ask Qiao Qiao to go live and bring some goods for you? "But the price is based on the market price, and it may be a little more favorable. There is no way to label it as mine."
< br>
Zhang Wang’s family is overjoyed!
At this moment, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Then he carried the basket one by one and walked here, and said excitedly:
"I Check out Douyin to see what people are selling on it. The sales are very popular, but I don’t have the ability... I still have more than ten kilograms of kudzu powder at home, so I might as well take it to your house and you guys can try it first! "
While sighing: "Kudzu is good to drink, nourishing yin and reducing fire, suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Song Tan knew.
Cousin Seven came back for a stroll in the mountains one time and praised the growth of the kudzu root. He taught Qiao Qiao that kudzu root can relieve alcoholism, cure throat problems, and moisturize dryness and prevent cancer...
Qiao Qiao Joe memorized it and summarized it, and everyone heard it.
Song Tan looked at Zhang Wang's family's uneasiness and the way they looked at him eagerly. He originally thought it was unnecessary.
But at this moment, her heart moved, and she simply nodded in agreement:
"Okay, our Qiao Qiao now has a fan base, so we should be able to bring goods. Uncle Zhang, can you just use these ten kilograms of kudzu powder as promotion fees for Qiao Qiao? We will discuss the specific selling price at that time."
“Okay, okay!”
At this moment, the dark and thin faces of Zhang Wang’s family seemed to reflect the red brilliance of the sun.
When going down the mountain, Zhu Jun asked Song Tan with a smile:
"If you ask Qiao Qiao to bring goods to Zhang Wang's family, if the quality of his goods is average, will it affect you? Your own reputation? ”
"No." Song Tan shook his head: "When the time comes, I will indicate in the live broadcast room that this is ordinary kudzu powder, not our stuff. Fans can buy some if they are willing to try it. If they don't want it, we won't force it."
However, based on her analysis of today's market, this kind of live broadcast of cutting kudzu and making kudzu powder for everyone to see will be more trustworthy.
Besides, what the Zhang Wang family can produce here is not so much that it cannot be sold, so it should be appropriate.
She just looked at the lush mountain forest and the scattered fields at the foot of the mountain, and sighed deeply at this moment.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhu Jun looked at her curiously.
Song Tan shook his head: "I just suddenly understood you a little bit."
Everyone shouts slogans nowadays, and Zhu Jun chants them often.
But what exactly is rural development?
Let the firewood stacks in the village be neater and the houses more beautiful, so that every household no longer has to go to the ground, or should the road be built right in front of the house?
For these elderly people left behind in the village, it is neither.
What they want is real life changes and expectations for the future.
Zhu Jun also turned to look at her, and suddenly he patted her shoulder like an old-fashioned cadre, and then said seriously:
"Do it well."
"You know, there will be a wave of people returning home during the Chinese New Year. Where the labor force will be next year and whether the village can retain people depends on your performance this year."
I will go back to my hometown tomorrow and try to write more today...
About Baoshan, Tantan 20 (not counting my own) + inner circle 80 + Zhangjia 30, outer circle around 150, the total is close to 300, no Smaller. Specifically, there will be some field connections...
I know it seems to you that the place is not big, but the premise is that the village has lost its young people, there is no way to use machines in the mountains and all depends on manpower, and the Tantan family does not have much money...
So it’s a steady and steady approach.
Don’t be anxious, we will earn money slowly and fill it up slowly, and we will not become fat with one bite. In the early days, Tantan worked a lot, just to eat well. There is no need to worry in the later stage.
