Chapter 84: Money-making business hits the door!
Tan Shaoyang is not interested in papayas. Tan Ah Nai has planted one in his own vegetable garden. As long as it is not winter or frost season, a papaya tree can be picked for a long time.
Papaya is easy to survive, but it is afraid of frost. In the cold season, if it is not covered with a coat, the papaya that has been beaten by frost will be bitter.
So Zhang Yishui didn't have much temptation to drag him to pick papayas. If he hadn't heard that Liu Xiang was going too, he really wouldn't have wanted to bother.
Although he doesn't think much of Liu Xiang, human beings always appreciate beautiful things.
Life is boring, but it’s good to see some pleasing people and things to improve your mood.
Zhang Yishui's relatives were in the next village, riding a bicycle and setting off with people.
Zhang Yishui planned to drive his cousin. When he recovered, he found that the girl was sitting in the back of the car and Liu Xiang ran to Tan Shaoyang's car.
Zhang Yishui scratched his head and sat down. It would be awkward to change seats. Let’s just leave it like this. My cousin is an intellectual and will definitely not care about the small fishermen in the village.
In this way, after doing some psychological construction, we set off.
Tan Shaoyang was not in a hurry and rode slowly and leisurely behind him. For someone who was used to riding a bicycle, he could ride fairly steadily.
Liu Xiang looked at the cyclist in front of her, leaning forward slightly, her strong arms controlling the front of the bike, her legs pedaling the bicycle very powerfully, not like the weak girl, her whole body showed strength feel.
Sitting in his car gives people a very solid feeling.
Liu Xiang's hands were holding on to his clothes tightly, fearing that the bumpy road would jolt her out.
It turns out that the other party is quite safe and there is no need to worry at all.
After they separated a few days ago, she felt a lack of interest in anything she did, as if there was a piece missing in her heart. She couldn't figure out why, but she just couldn't keep her spirits up.
My cousin clamored to take them to play, but my mother saw that she was in low spirits and asked her to go out.
The moment Liu Xiang saw Tan Shaoyang, his heart suddenly came alive, his heart was beating rapidly, and his original feeling of low energy disappeared instantly.
Things that she couldn't figure out before had some signs of it at this moment. She seemed to have a slight affection for the burly man in front of her.
Her eyes seemed to be drawn unconsciously by the person in front of her, and by his every move.
Liu Xiang raised her hand and put it on her pounding heart. This discovery also made her a little panicked. His parents would never be happy to let her be with the fishermen.
She knew the consequences without even thinking about it.
I was in a panic all the way, and I arrived at the place before I knew it. Only when I got off the car did I realize that she had pulled the person's shirt until it was wrinkled.
Tan Shaoyang naturally noticed it, and smiled casually, "It's okay, the sun is too hot, otherwise I would wear a vest to go out."
Tan Shaoyang's comfort did not reassure Liu Xiang. , but made her thoughts even more confused.
Looking at his face with strong outlines, his casual and lazy movements have a hint of mischief, and his lazy appearance is enough to attract people's attention.
My heartbeat skipped a beat unconsciously.
Didn’t dare to stare at him and quietly looked away.
Looking further, she was afraid that her heart would be lost.
At this time Zhang Yibei came over, took her arm and pulled her forward.
Liu Xiang sighed, why should he worry so much when he is as young as a flower? Happiness and pleasure are the most important things.
After thinking about it, the two little girls walked forward chattering, talking nonstop, looking at how lively it was!
Tan Shaoyang pushed the car behind and followed, looking at the bouncing figure, turning his head and looking back from time to time, with a bright smile in his eyes, and his eyes were curved like crescent moons.
The rising sun, like fire, makes people’s hearts come alive just looking at it.
When I got there, I found out it was my cousin’s grandfather’s house.
No wonder Zhang Yishui was so unscrupulous, even coming to the door empty-handed without being crowded, he was afraid that he was just a mother in the world!
There are indeed a few papaya trees planted at home. His grandfather is also a kind of honest and honest person. He looks at them with a gentle smile on his face.
He also acted very quickly. He took them directly to the field, picked a few yellow papayas, cut them into pieces and let them have a taste.
“These are ripe, so I was wondering when you will come back? I’ll take some back with me when I go back later.”
There are few fruits during this period, so I don’t dislike anything and just eat it by myself. Half of it has a slightly sweet taste, and I feel satisfied after eating it.
Grandpa Zhang said with a smile, "If you want to eat, you can pick it yourself. I have to go to Penlang."
After hearing this, Tan Shaoyang stopped.
Was it betel nut that he heard just now?
Betel nut will be very popular among young people in the future. Many people chew one or two packs a day!
Put it in your pocket and it becomes a snack.
Although betel nut is not a good thing, and even more harmful to the human body, there is no shortage of people who flock to it.
Just like cigarettes, they are obviously harmful to people's life and health, but it is even more difficult for people to quit smoking. At this moment, Tan Shaoyang saw a way to make money. He could collect betel nut and make dried betel nut. Although transportation is more troublesome, it can make money, so it is an opportunity not to be missed.
Betel nut is picked in two seasons. Green fruits can be picked from November to December to make dried betel nuts, and mature fruits can be picked from March to June.
Tan Shaoyang is not interested in ripe fruits, but he has great ideas about dried betel nut. He can definitely make money by making dried betel nuts and selling them.
He raised his elbow and bumped Zhang Yishui. Zhang Yishui, who was holding a papaya and chewing it, was stunned. He looked at him with an inexplicable expression and questioning eyes.
Tan Shaoyang said, "Let's go to the betel nut field with grandpa and have a look!"
Zhang Yishui paused in biting the papaya, and asked inquiringly, "It's very far away, really Do you want to go?"
Tan Shaoyang nodded, seeing the way to make money, it would be a pity to give up. As long as he can make money, he doesn't mind the long way.
Zhang Yishui hesitated, they can go there, there are two little girls!
There is only one road that can pass people, and it is so narrow that you will bump into it while riding a bicycle. It is inconvenient!
If you get a sunburn from this, you will definitely be scolded when you go back.
"Then what should they do? It's a long way, and they suffered a lot in the past."
Tan Shaoyang looked at Liu Xiang and asked, "Is it okay for you to stay at home? We will come back as soon as possible. . ”
Girls can watch it anytime, but the way to make money is right in front of them, but they can’t give up.
Liu Xiang met his gaze, listened to his gentle voice, and subconsciously nodded, "We'll just stay at home, you go!"
The sun is scorching hot, and it's really not good to be exposed to the sun outside. The family is comfortable, but they are afraid that it will be a burden to follow them!
Girls who are fair and beautiful are more attractive. Who would like a tanned girl?
In a large area next to the mangrove, there are tall betel nut trees planted, covering the area as far as the eye can see, and you can see densely packed seeds hanging on them.
Tan Shaoyang was thinking about betel nuts. He asked Grandpa Zhang a lot along the way and found out that betel nuts are cheap. Raw ones sell for 5 cents per catty and dried ones cost 50 cents per catty.
This is only if the boss comes to collect it, otherwise it will be thrown to the ground. Cheapness is also an income, and no one is willing to give it up.
Although it seems that it is all a mangrove area, it is also planned. This area is planted with betel nut trees, and you can see a dense area at a glance.
"Grandpa, can Binlang be picked now?"
Grandpa Zhang nodded, looking forward to this time all year round, "You can pick the raw ones and dry them. If they are ripe, The fruit will have to wait until the spring of next year, and it will gradually mature."
Tan Shaoyang continued to ask with an inquiring attitude, "Are you selling to a designated person? For example, I also want to buy. Can it be done? ”
Grandpa Zhang's eyes widened in shock, and he asked with surprise on his face, "Are you sure you want to buy it? Raw or dried?"
Tan Shaoyang thought for a moment, the raw ones had to be shelled. It must have been easier to dry.
The production process of binlang is also quite cumbersome. In addition to peeling, boiling and drying, in order to obtain the taste, it also needs to be stewed in special brine and dried before it can be bagged.
“Buy shelled and sun-dried ones.” We don’t have so much manpower and material resources, so we’d better save some time, otherwise we’ll tire ourselves out.
Although Grandpa Zhang was happy, he did not forget to ask clearly, "We are all in this area, did you collect a lot?"
A small number of people in their village make money from betel lang. If someone comes to collect it, the harvest will be stable for a year.
Tan Shaoyang can't guarantee it, it depends on the market's acceptance, "Let's take yours first! I have to see if I can sell it. If it sells well, the more the better."
“If this doesn’t sell well, we definitely can’t harvest it by force.”
“How many days will it take you to pick, shell, and dry? Then come directly to weigh the goods.”
< br>It is not difficult to pick and thresh, but the difficulty is in shelling. It is slow when the quantity is large. When there is insufficient manpower, it is not that fast.
Grandpa Zhang said, "It will take ten days and a half, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Usually dry goods are priced at 50 cents per catty. Is it acceptable?"
Tan Shaoyang nodded and shelled 1,000 betel lang. , losing water, at most 100 kilograms of dry food.
One mu of land may not weigh 1,000 kilograms, but 700-800 kilograms is the norm.
Tan Shaoyang understood, "How many acres does Grandpa plant at home?"
Grandpa Zhang raised his finger and said happily, "If you plant 3 acres, you can make some money a year, as long as there are people It’s okay to come and receive the goods and save some money.”
Tan Shaoyang said, "Then we agreed to come over in half a month to collect the first batch of goods. If the sales are good, we will do long-term business in the future."
After coming over and reaching a deal, Tan Shaoyang was naturally happy. Yes, as long as you can do it well, you will have a steady stream of money in the future.
Zhang Yishui was confused as he watched. He looked at him confused and asked, "This thing is not delicious, why are you bothering with it?"
"If your money is You can't rely on me if you fail!"
Tan Shaoyang rolled his eyes, why can't he have nice words for this person?
"The Mountain Man has its own magical uses? Since I paid for it, it must have its uses. Is it better for you not to touch this thing?"
It's easy to get addicted to it, and it's easy to get into trouble.
