crazy farmer

Chapter 7 Selling Carrots

Seeing that Wang Leshan hadn't come back after lunch, He Yuting was a little worried, and her parents urged her, so she came to the fish pond and asked Wang Leshan to go back to eat. He Yuting was taken aback by the large white radish.

Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the growth of other crops in the field not far away.

"Shanzi, are these radishes harvested from our field? They are so big!"

He Yuting also grew up as a farmer. She has seen big radishes but never seen so many such big radishes. She couldn't help asking Wang Leshan in the cabin curiously.

"A few days ago, I contacted a friend who was studying in an agricultural college. He happened to be researching a new type of organic soil and chemical fertilizer. I asked him to help me get some. It seems that the effect is not bad. However, this radish is so good. It must also have something to do with the seeds Dad bought and took good care of."

Wang Leshan said with a haha, as a foreshadowing, he picked up two radishes and said to He Yuting: "Come on, let's go back and taste how it tastes."

"Ah."

Seeing the good harvest in the field, He Yuting was naturally happy. She also knew that Wang Leshan studied very well back then and was admitted to the best high school in Yunhai City. Such a high school must have all kinds of capable students.It's just because of something like Wang Lehai that caused Wang Leshan to drop out of school early and go out to work, hey...

I went home with Wang Leshan, washed and cut up the radishes, fried a plate, braised a plate, and baked some radish egg pancakes.

He Yuting is an expert at cooking, and her movements are agile, and she cooked it quickly and brought it to the dinner table.

"good to eat!"

Wang Leshan tasted it all, and moved his index finger even more.Regardless of He Yuting's kitchen, just how good the ingredients are is under the chopsticks!

"Sister-in-law, try it too."

Wang Leshan asked He Yuting to taste it again, and He Yuting was also surprised by the taste of this white radish, which cannot be tasted like ordinary white radish.

As a result, Wang Leshan became more confident that this batch of white radishes could be sold at a good price.

I gave some more to my parents, and told them that this year's white radish had a good harvest, which made the elders feel relieved and happy.

After eating, Wang Leshan thought about how to sell radishes.

The average yield of radishes in five mu of land is at least 7000 kg, which adds up to about 40 kg, or about [-] tons.

There used to be a small agricultural truck at home, but it was badly hit in the accident, and it is still in the repair shop. I don't know when it will be repaired.In this way, you have to borrow one or even rent one. This reminds Wang Leshan of Fatty Li at the entrance of the village. His family has a small truck, which is usually used for pulling stones and bricks. , should be able to rent a car for a day or two.

To whom?

Wang Leshan knew that there was a purchase station in the town, and there were purchasers from all over the year.However, as far as Wang Leshan knows, the price there is not high. For carrots, the highest price can only be two yuan per kilogram, and sometimes even one yuan and five.If it can be sold for two yuan a kilogram, it can also be sold for [-] to [-] yuan, which is a lot of money for Wang Leshan. However, Wang Leshan always feels that such a good radish is at the wholesale price, and he is somewhat unwilling.

After much deliberation, Wang Leshan finally made up his mind that he had to go to the buying station, and he had to explore other avenues, and he couldn't just follow the wholesale route.

Having stayed in Shencheng, he knew more or less about brands and boutiques. He knew the importance of these things.

Out of the house, walked to the entrance of the village.

There is an activity center at the entrance of Dakang Village. There are two rows of five-story buildings in front of the activity center. It is the tallest house in the village. There are several shops on the first floor, including a snack shop and two small shops.Small shops in rural areas generally have one thing, that is, a chess and card room, which is used for playing mahjong and double buttons.

Fatty Li's name is Gao Dali. He is just over 1.7 meters tall and weighs close to [-]. This proportion should be very bulky and bulky, but Fatty Li is an exception. Not only does he not look bloated, but he is very flexible. According to the words of the city people , This is a flexible soil fat circle.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wang Leshan saw Fatty Li standing in the chess and card room. As before, he just watched but didn't play. This is a characteristic of Fatty Li.He basically doesn't gamble, and only comes here occasionally during the Chinese New Year. He doesn't like mahjong and double buckle, and only plays Pai Gow.It's hard to understand that he can watch mahjong double button and so on for a long time, stand still and enjoy it.

Wang Leshan yelled twice, the fat man saw that it was Wang Leshan who showed a smile, he walked up to Wang Leshan with a big water cup and asked, "Are your parents feeling better?"

Holding the big water glass, he took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to Wang Leshan. He doesn't smoke himself, but he is used to bringing a pack of cigarettes with him to give to others because he pulls stones and bricks. The cigarettes are not bad. 20 Many lotus kings.

"It's pretty good."

Wang Leshan responded, waved his hand and said that he quit smoking when he was in Shencheng, and exchanged some pleasantries with Fatty Li, knowing that Fatty Li likes to have fun, and then he stated his purpose, saying: " I have something to ask you. The white radishes in the field have been harvested and are going to be sold, but my pickup truck has been crashed and is still being repaired. I want to borrow your car to transport it. Do you use the car these days?"

Fatty Li chuckled, and said cheerfully: "I've been very free these days, you can use it anytime."

"I don't know how to drive your car, so you have to drive it."

"no problem."

Wang Leshan said again: "The amount of radish is quite large, it is estimated that one or two trips will not be able to pull it away, the car fare..."

The fat man interrupted: "What's worth it, just fill up the gas when the time comes."

Hearing this, Wang Leshan thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it then. In this way, the time will be set for tomorrow morning. Try to be as early as possible. 05:30, no problem?"

"Row."

……

The next day, Wang Leshan woke up early, and arrived at the cabin before the sun came out, carrying a large number of nylon bags prepared yesterday afternoon.Fatty Li's car is used to pull bricks and stones, so it is inevitable that it will be dirty, and there may be some debris in it. Wang Leshan is going to use nylon bags to cover it.

Not long after, Fatty Li drove the pickup truck to the front of the cabin at 05:30.Wang Leshan handed over the radish egg pancakes that He Yuting had made early in the morning. At the same time, he glanced at the truck's body and couldn't help laughing. The body of the truck was much cleaner than he imagined, and there was almost no need for nylon bags. It was Fatty Li who washed it specially yesterday, and his work is more reliable than Wang Leshan imagined.

"Mmm! This omelette is delicious!"

Fatty Li got out of the car, took a bite of the radish omelette, said something vaguely, then took several bites immediately, and walked towards the cabin, looking at the white radish piled up there with his small eyes I was taken aback for a moment, and after finally swallowing what was in my mouth, I immediately asked: "These are the white radishes for sale? They are so big!"

Seeing Wang Leshan nodding his head, the fat man ate the egg pancakes in twos and twos. He went over and picked up a few white radishes and shook them in his hands. Turning to Wang Leshan, he turned to ask Wang Leshan, "The radishes here must have a harvest of about ten acres?"

Wang Leshan stretched out one hand and spread five fingers, and said proudly: "Five acres."

"real or fake!"

Fatty Li can be regarded as a half farmer. He has always stayed in the countryside. Speaking of which, he knows a lot better than Wang Leshan. Exaggerated! Unexpectedly, you are quite good at farming!"

"I was also taken aback at the time. It should be good luck."

Wang Leshan said something with a smile, and then asked the fat man to open the back of the truck, and began to load the white radish.

Fatty Li's truck can hold 5 tons. Of course, this is based on the density of stones and bricks. With the specific gravity of white radish, and considering factors such as crushing, it must be at most four tons.

After more than an hour, Wang Leshan and Fatty Li got into the car and drove towards the main road outside the village.

Hearing Wang Leshan say that he would go to the buying station, the fat man couldn't help but feel regretful and asked: "Shanzi, are you really going to take these good radishes to the buying station?"

Wang Leshan nodded and said: "If you want to sell such a large amount, you will definitely not be able to sell it yourself. The only way is to buy it. However, not all of them are bought. I plan to keep some and go to a few restaurants. Let’s see if there is any way out. I’ll have to trouble you to go a little further.”

Fatty thought for a while and said, "I have a way here, you can try it."

Wang Leshan asked: "Oh? What kind of connection?"

Fatty Li said: "I have a friend in the town. His family has set up a radish processing factory, specializing in dried radishes, pickled radishes, etc. Why don't we go and have a look? The price is not high, but it must be higher than The buying station is better. I heard that his family specializes in processing very good radishes, and sometimes they even go to the Northeast to buy them. Your radishes are so good, you must want them.”

Wang Leshan was overjoyed and said: "It would be the best if this is the case."

"Then don't go to any purchasing station, go directly to that processing factory."

Seeing that Wang Leshan agreed, the fat man immediately took out his mobile phone and called his friend, who happened to be in the factory.

Not long after, the pickup truck arrived at the Zhenxing radish processing factory in the town. The gate had to be six meters wide, and there were three rows of two-story houses.

Soon a 23-year-old tall man wearing a floral shirt, a thick gold chain around his neck, and a tuft of yellow hair came to the side of the pickup truck, greeted Fatty Li and Wang Leshan from a distance, and separated Seeing that neither of them was smoking, a cigarette was clipped to one ear on the left and the other on the right.

After exchanging a few words with Fatty Li, he introduced himself. This man's name is Zhu Wenqiang.It turned out to be a small gangster who was not doing business properly, because the family made money in the radish processing business in the past few years and made a fortune, so he became a half-rich second-generation gangster.The side job is to help the factory with small things, and the main business has changed from bullying the market to a one-stop nightclub and bar.According to Fatty Li, this guy's character in some aspects is not bad.

Knowing that Fatty Li came this time to help Wang Leshan sell radishes, Zhu Wenqiang turned to the back of the truck and stood on tiptoe to look inside.Although he is not doing business, but after all, his family is in this business. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has a little discernment about what kind of radish is good or bad. His eyes lit up immediately, and he reached out and took out one and wiped it with his hands a few times. , took a bite.
