Rebirth as an official

It's mid-December, and the greenhouses at the planting base are filled with the fragrance of mushrooms, and the faces of the members of the cooperative are filled with the joy of the harvest.

Just the day before yesterday, after Lin Fuyin checked the growth of Hericium erinaceus on the last mushroom stick, he announced loudly that the cooperative's first planting of edible fungi was ready for harvest.

This news excited all members of the cooperative.

In the next few days, all members devoted themselves to picking edible mushrooms.

The villagers followed the picking methods taught by Lin Fuyin and began to pick, dry, pack and other processes.

At the beginning, everyone was still very unfamiliar, but gradually became more comfortable.

Although the picking work is very hard, from five or six o'clock in the morning to nine or ten o'clock in the evening, all the villagers are happy.

After a busy week, all 25 acres of Hericium mushrooms were picked, dried and packed.

Lin Fuyin also calculated the total output of these 25 acres of edible fungi greenhouses.

On average, more than 550 kilograms of Hericium can be harvested from each mu of greenhouses, and a total of 25 750 kilograms of edible fungi have been harvested from [-] acres of land.

This yield is already a very gratifying result for them who are planting for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, Li An contacted Nonghe Company and arranged for relevant personnel to conduct acceptance inspection.

The acceptance results can be said to be quite satisfactory, and all were purchased at high-quality prices.

Of course, there is also the feeling that Li An is Gu Sitong's junior brother.

The current price of Hericium erinaceus on the market is 55 yuan per kilogram, but the purchase price of Nonghe Company is 25 yuan per kilogram.

However, this is in line with market conditions. After all, the price sold on the market includes various taxes and costs.

Li An roughly estimated that the gross income this time was 34 yuan. If calculated based on two harvests a year, the cooperative could earn about 750 yuan a year.

Even though I earned more than 30 yuan at a time, apart from water and electricity bills, daily expenses, and the construction team's project funds, there is actually not much left.

Fortunately, the poverty alleviation subsidy was received, but it was not as much as expected. It was only 20, and it was earmarked and was used by Li An to pay for the project.

Some of the remaining funds were used to purchase new strains for the second planting.

As for expanding production scale, Li An decided to wait until the next harvest.

After all, Lin Fuyin's laboratory must be set up.The village committee office that had been used before must undergo necessary renovations.

Considering that the Chinese New Year was less than two months away, Li An distributed five thousand yuan from the profits to each household in the cooperative, so that everyone could have a happy New Year.

Amidst the joy of the cooperative's harvest, it also encountered a problem, and that was transportation.

The total amount of edible fungi this time was close to thirteen tons, but difficulties were encountered when transporting these edible fungi to the county.

There is only one dirt road leading from Fuqiang Village to the countryside. Not to mention large trucks, even small trucks cannot get on, so tractors can only be used for transportation.

But a tractor can pull up to one ton of cargo.

It can also drive at a speed of ten kilometers per hour on mountain roads. In addition to loading and unloading, a tractor can transport up to three times a day.

Because Hericium erinaceus must be transported to Nonghe as quickly as possible after being picked, the time requirement is very tight.

Li An still asked Huang Xing for help and borrowed three tractors from other places to deliver all the fungi to Nonghe's designated delivery location.

After loading the last box of fungi onto the tractor, Li An and Chen Shanhe leaned against the wall of the base and gasped.

Chen Shanhe picked up the kettle and drank it for a while before making a comfortable sound.

He looked at the tractor that was slowly moving forward with black smoke and said: "We have only planted 25 acres of fungi, and it took us two days to finish it. If we expand production in the future, we don't know how long it will take to finish it." .”

Li An lit a cigarette and said with empathy: "Yes, the road is still inconvenient. It would be great if there was a fourth-class highway. A large truck can enter the village and take away all the fungi in one truck. There is no need to transport it one tractor at a time.”

"Sure enough, it makes perfect sense to build roads first if you want to get rich." Xu Kai also walked over and sighed.

He heard that Li An's cooperative had a bumper harvest of mushrooms in the past few days, so he came over to help.

"Right now, the output is only 25 acres. If it expands in the future, it will become one hundred acres or one thousand acres. If there is no road, transportation capacity cannot keep up with the increase in output. Don't think about it." Li An responded to Xu Kai One sentence.

"Hey, Li An." Chen Shanhe seemed to have received some inspiration, and suddenly said excitedly: "Since there is no road, then let's build a road. Let's build a road from the village to the countryside. That'll be fine."

After Chen Shanhe said this, he became excited first. He was so excited about his idea that he kept pacing.

"Lee An, what do you think of this idea? Isn't it a very genius idea?"

How could Ang Lee not have thought of this idea? But, the reality is cruel.

Li An really didn't want to dampen Chen Shanhe's enthusiasm, but this friend had been in society for almost a year, so he still had to say what needed to be said.

"Shanhe, your idea is good. Do you know how far it is from the village to the countryside?"

"Probably more than eight kilometers." Chen Shanhe replied without thinking.

"Then do you know how much it costs to build one kilometer of Class [-] road in the mountains?" Li An continued to ask.

"How do I know this?" Chen Shanhe shook his head.

"The worst cement road costs about 30 yuan per kilometer. If we build it, it must be a fourth-class road that can carry large trucks. The price may double, that is, between 60 and 70 yuan. You can do the math yourself. How much is it?" Li An said.

"That's not too much, it's only four or five million yuan. If you set up a cooperative, you can still apply for a subsidy of 20 yuan."

It seems that in Chen Shanhe's mind, as long as he does something good to help farmers, he will definitely get support.

Xu Kai also spoke at this time.

"Shanhe, you think too simply. It took a lot of effort for Li An to get 20 yuan in poverty alleviation subsidies last time. It's so easy to get a subsidy of several million. Do you know how much Yangdong County's annual fiscal revenue is? ?"

Seeing Chen Shanhe's confused look, Xu Kai replied directly: "It's only more than [-] million, but the fiscal expenditure is more than [-] million, and the state transfer payment is more than [-] million. You want to ask the county for money to build roads It’s difficult, most villages in Yangdong County don’t have roads, it’s not that they don’t want to, they just don’t have the money.”

"This..." Chen Shanhe fainted all of a sudden.

Li An patted Chen Shanhe on the shoulder and said: "Shanhe, don't be discouraged. The country will introduce a policy of connecting roads to every village this year. When this policy is implemented, we will fight with the county to be the first to build the road as soon as possible. "

"Really? You're so kind." Chen Shanhe suddenly became happy again.

"Really, that's why I don't advocate expanding production capacity now because of this consideration. When the highway is opened in the future, Fuqiang Village will be able to develop." Li An explained why he did not agree to add greenhouses before.

"Oh, it's already noon, it's time to eat." Chen Shanhe raised his hand, shook his wrist, and glanced at his Vacheron Constantin.

Well, Chen Shanhe has been checking the time quite frequently recently.

This obvious action naturally fell into Xu Kai's eyes.

"Vacheron Constantin!" Xu Kai was a little surprised. How could this boy have such a good watch?

He walked to Chen Shanhe's side and looked at his watch.

"Shanhe, I can't tell. Your family is rich and you can't afford this watch."

Chen Shanhe showed it off in front of Xu Kai like a show off and said, "How about it, it looks good. This is a gift from Li An. Hehe!"

"This watch..." For a kid from a wealthy family like Xu Kai, he is naturally an expert on watches.

I just took a look at it from a distance and found nothing wrong with it.

Now right under my nose, I naturally discovered some clues about this watch.

"Oh, I'm hungry. Eat, eat."

When Li An saw something wrong in Xu Kai's eyes, he immediately jumped up and pulled the two of them towards the canteen of the base.

Xu Kai looked at Li An with a half-smile and whispered, "Li An, it's unethical to buy a fake watch for Shanhe."

"What's fake? This is A-grade product. It's been done several times." Li An's expression remained unchanged and his lips moved slightly.

"What kind of A guy?" Chen Shanhe on the other side asked curiously.

"Haha, it's a grade A product." Li An laughed.

"Yes, in addition to goods A, there are also two goods S and B." Xu Kai curled his lips and said.

Ang Lee: "...".
