Chapter 475 475. The Destiny of Earning Money
Early in the morning, Song Tan’s house became lively again after a long time.
Song Sancheng was sitting on the bench, with three old men and women in front of him - even though there were not many people there, at this time, basically all the old people who could work in the village belonged to their family.
After all, there are only so many people in the village, including two or three strong laborers planting rice, three or five elderly people weaving straw mats, and two aunties picking tea (there is less tea in summer)...
Nowadays, a lot of people have gone out to work, and there is only so much remaining labor force.
What's more, the yield of golden cherry blossoms is actually average, one acre of land is only 700 to 800 jins. This has to be calculated based on the yield during the peak fruiting period -
Do those on the mountain have one acre of land now? Regardless for the moment, there are not as many fruits as there are flowers.
Otherwise, Guo Dong would have to be rich to have such pride as to take over the contract!
She wouldn't be able to use so many medicinal materials for a while, so Song Tan simply discussed with Party Secretary Xiao Zhu to first find the three low-income households who were really unable to do hard work.
This thing has no technical content, just pick the fruit slowly, then bake it slowly and process it slowly...there is no rush.
Otherwise, if we find a strong laborer and come down here in one day, all the fruits will be picked! This thing is not paid by the day.
"Come on, come and get the gloves, baskets, hooks, and scissors. Don't try to save trouble by using your own. I bought these gloves specially to make them thicker. Also, everyone wears a coat, otherwise We will not be responsible if it gets stuck..."
Although there were only three people, Song Sancheng still yelled with great vigor, as if there were three to two hundred people in front of him.
The old lady next to him glanced at him: "Isn't your instruction in vain? Who in our village wears short clothes when going up the mountain."
He slowly took the gloves and turned them over: "What gloves?" , the calluses on our hands are thicker than yours.”
As soon as he said this, someone immediately laughed: "Mrs. Chen, you are not afraid of pricking me. I saw it when I went to the mountain yesterday. The thorns of the golden cherry tree are long and short, and they are close together! Look at these gloves. It’s just a thick layer on the palm, but it’s not that useful.”
The people in the village were laughing, and Mrs. Chen was also wondering: “Chen San, why are you going up the mountain in such a hot weather?”
Chen San sighed: "I heard that people now like to eat young chestnuts. My son saw someone selling chestnut bags on Douyin yesterday. He planned to see how old my chestnuts were and whether he could pick them off and sell them in the city - just That chestnut bag, how much do you think it is?”
How much?
Everyone, including Song Sancheng, pricked up their ears——
"Live broadcast on Douyin, green chestnut bags, five pounds for 59 yuan with free shipping." After all, tender chestnuts cannot be stored, and they will become stale overnight, so chestnut bags must be shipped.
Of course, this was Chen San’s guess. He had no idea that some people were interested in the cute and fresh chestnut buns!
After all, when chestnuts are knocked every year, this thing is smashed down on the face. Not only is it not refreshing, it is also bloody! It's all about the helmet to save your life.
Haha!
Everyone was moved.
This works out to 120 yuan per pound!
And I wish every family had a chestnut orchard. Even if I haven’t taken care of it for several years, it still produces a lot of results year after year. It’s a business without capital!
Besides, that chestnut bag weighs so much! Just buy it like this, how many chestnuts are only five kilograms?
“But we don’t understand that live broadcast, how to sell it? And don’t we grow it everywhere? It’s not rare. People would scold them for selling it so expensive. It seems that young chestnuts are sold directly in urban areas. Without chestnut bags..."
Let’s not talk about whether you can make money, the round trip fare is 40, this, this, this...
Finally, they carried the basket and prepared to go up the mountain. After all...
"There is no such thing as earning money."
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary who watched breakfast by the way:... Let's just say, earn money. If you don’t earn it, you should try it first!
She shook her head and sighed, turning her head to see Ulan tying a plastic sheet around her waist to prevent punctures, while looking at her with a smile: "We villagers, when we go out to sell things, we can't open our mouths and wipe them down. . Besides, these tender chestnuts won’t be sold for more than a few days, and we have to go to the city. Everyone may not know the way, so they must be thinking about it.” Xiao Zhu sighed: “I know.”
...
And on the mountain.
Old Mrs. Chen felt that the gloves were too thick and inconvenient, so she grabbed Jin Yingzi with one hand: "Ouch!"
She took her hand back angrily: "Why are there so many thorns?"< br>
Chen Laosan next to her laughed at her: "Look, if you don't believe me when I tell you there are too many thorns, you must be at a disadvantage!"
But Mrs. Chen glanced at him: "You came here yesterday and saw so many thorns, why didn't you pay back the price today? Five yuan a pound is too little. Look at this, there are not many fruits! "
"A lot, right?" Mrs. Li next to me has already cut off several of them quickly -
This thing has many thorns, and gloves may not be able to completely protect it. But they were all used to farm work, so they figured it out at a glance.
First use a hook to hook the branches, then use gloves to gently pinch the fruit, then click with the scissors - it's done.
"Look, this fruit is pretty good when it's not dried. One pound won't last long. Maybe I can earn a hundred a day. Alas, it's just too little."
One hundred a day is probably just one day's earnings. If you pick any more, there will be no fruit.
"Then I guess it's not possible - I'm not as quick as you."
Old Mrs. Chen felt even more uncomfortable: "You said, the richer you are, the more you search! Look, Song Youde, he asked us to work on such a big building in his house. If nothing else, we only paid 70 per day for weaving straw mats. br>"That's what you said!" Mrs. Li was unhappy: "Didn't your son also buy a house in the city? Why didn't you say I would give you 70 a day? Didn't you and your wife pay for the house? ? ”
“You can make 70 yuan a day just by sitting down. Song Youde also said that you can do it for several months... If I didn’t know how to make up, don’t you think I can run fast? ”
< br>
"Besides, transplanting rice seedlings costs 300 a day, so you have to be able to do it! It's not like the old Song family can't find anyone."
Old Mrs. Chen was choked, and she couldn't hold on to her face. She was very unhappy at this moment. Convinced: "Look at you, even if you say so many good things, his family won't give you a raise..."
Before Mrs. Li spoke, Old Man Chen laughed: "Sister, sit at home. It’s only a day, and you can still make money by doing some work. Pick fruits today, pack them tomorrow, and dry them the day after tomorrow... You can earn a few hundred yuan in three days, and you can cover your living expenses for a month, right?”
"Now we can't even walk two miles without breathing, and no one wants us to work. Why aren't you satisfied?"
"That's right!"
Mrs. Li also quickly hooked a branch with her hands and feet: "Besides, this is a three-day job, but if you do a good job, you will definitely be indispensable in the future."
"You, stop being so long-winded. , otherwise you won’t have a chance to earn 50 yuan next time.”
Old Mrs. Chen: ...
She just has such a mouth - why, she doesn’t want to say bad things!
Just do it!
Golden cherry blossoms, according to the information, an adult man can weigh dozens of kilograms a day picking wild ones. Tantan's family still grows them in large areas, and it is not a laborious job. So compared to picking fruits, I think the picking price is 5 yuan per kilogram, which is still okay.
Good night first, my cousin is coming to the house tonight and I am a little pressed for time.
