Chapter 85： Caution is the boat

Qi Shenlong opened the porcelain bottle and smelled the medicinal smell inside. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his body relaxed a lot when he smelled the medicinal smell.

“Okay, thank you very much, don’t worry, if you cure me, I will definitely advertise for you in the future and make you famous.”

“Thank you.”

Qiao Ningxun didn't go back home and went directly to the fields.

On the way, Qiao Ningxun’s cell phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and looked at it. It turned out that Chu Yanye had called her for this month's foster care fee again.

Five hundred a day, and there is a thirty-first day in August, which is fifteen thousand five hundred.

She transferred everything directly to Qiao Shulan.

 Qiao Kangsheng said before that when He Yuanyang and He Yuanhuai come back, he will harvest the potatoes in the field.

Last night she knew she would harvest today, so she went to the field early in the morning and planted all the potatoes in the two acres of land.

Since they all grow in the ground, outsiders can’t see them, so sudden mutations are nothing.

When Qiao Ningxun passed by, her family had just arrived.

Qiao Kangsheng looked around at the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and planned to dig some first.

Just go down with the **** and see the dug potatoes. Everyone except Qiao Ningxun was extremely surprised.

Ye Caixiang: "This potato is really big, one may weigh two or three kilograms."

Qiao Shulan: "It's also very round. It's so round. It feels like each one is about the same size."

He Yuanyang: "These potatoes are really good at growing. They are big and beautiful. I wonder if they are the same in other places?"

Hearing this, Qiao Kangsheng ordered his family members to dig out some from various places.

Five minutes later, everyone looked at the potatoes that were about the same size everywhere, and they were all very happy.

Especially Qiao Nianyi and Qiao Nianhe, they rarely see vegetables emerging from the fields. They are so fresh that they chase them with potatoes in their arms.

Qiao Kangsheng glanced at his granddaughter meaningfully, and suddenly said with a smile: "It seems that the potato yield is high this year. If the potatoes under each seedling are this big, then the yield of seven to eight thousand kilograms per mu should not be a problem."

Qiao Ningxun raised her eyebrows, "Grandpa, I asked my fourth aunt to ask in the city yesterday. The varieties grown at home usually sell for one to three yuan per catty in the city. Each of our potatoes can be regarded as high-quality fruits. , In my opinion, selling for three yuan per pound is not a problem.”

Qiao Kangsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was as happy as a child, "Really? Can potatoes be sold so expensive?"

From what he planted a few years ago, the yield per mu was only three to four thousand.

Moreover, because they look ugly, come in different sizes and shapes, they cannot be sold at a high price.

The two old men’s bodies did not allow them to sell potatoes every day, so they wholesaled them all for only three to four cents each.

Last year, the yield per mu of two acres of land was 7,000 kilograms, and the wholesale price was 40 cents per kilogram, so the total sale price was only 2,800 yuan.

Qiao Ningxun nodded: "Of course, even if we want to wholesale, we can sell it in batches for three yuan per catty. Even if two acres of land are calculated as the lowest yield per mu, a total of ten thousand catties can be sold for thirty thousand yuan."

The last time she went to the supermarket on the ground floor of Junhang Plaza, she saw that those good-looking potatoes were sold by the piece, packed and covered with plastic wrap. They were not as big as the ones she had here, and each one cost as much as Sold for four or five yuan.

Some even cut the potatoes directly into shreds, add various seasonings, and package them like semi-finished products, so that customers can take them home and fry them.

She has observed the weight, which is only one pound, and can be sold for more than ten yuan per bag.

She can first ask Du Kunpeng if he will accept it. If he doesn't accept it, she will think of other ways.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. As long as the product is really good, there will definitely be someone who knows the goods. The two elders widened their eyes in shock at the same time.

 Thirty thousand yuan, the potatoes only grow for a few months, how many months can they earn 30,000 yuan?

Then they will have more money on hand.

Qiao Kangsheng was full of energy when he thought of this, "Then we have to hurry up. We will harvest in one day. Otherwise, if others find out, someone will definitely come and steal it."

Ye Caixiang nodded: "That's right."

Qiao Ningxun glanced at the two acres of land in front of her. She felt it was impossible for her family to complete the harvest today.

Even if it was completed, their whole family would be exhausted.

Qiao Ningxun suggested: "Grandpa, grandma, mother, why don't we invite people to harvest the harvest? Now the average coolie in the city only costs 150 to 300 a day. If we hire six people, it will only cost 900 to 1800." wages.”

Qiao Kangsheng hesitated and said, “Would this be too much of a waste of money?”

He has been a farmer all his life, and he has never thought that he would one day be like a boss in the city, hiring people to do work.

"No, both my grandparents and my mother have bad waists. The workload on these two acres of land is huge. If the waist is damaged, it will cost tens of thousands more. The gains will outweigh the losses, so be careful. "

He Yuanyang said: "I agree with what my cousin said."

He Yuanhuaiye said: "I also agree with what my cousin said."

Qiao Shulan also advised: "Dad, Mom, just listen to Ningxun. The family is not short of money now, and your health is more important."

When the two elders saw that everyone was saying this, they stopped insisting.

It’s all their fault that they didn’t teach the eldest, second, and third eldest brother well. If it were other families, their sons, daughters-in-law, and their wives would all be harvesting together, so why would they spend money to hire people to do the work?

Qiao Kangsheng compromised and said: "Okay, you young people can run, you can go to the village to find people. Let's do it here first. Just do what Ningxun said and find six people."

The three juniors were overjoyed at the same time and quickly went to find someone.

The weather is cool today, and the villagers couldn't help but sleep for a long time. Many people didn't go to the fields until now.

They met many people along the way, including their three aunts.

 Qiao Ningxun didn't want to ask them to do work. They would definitely open their mouths and bring back a lot of potatoes.

She discussed it with her cousins ​​and decided to go separately, one person to find two people.

Guan Yiwen, He Yuanhuai's deskmate, has poor family conditions and is considered a poor household in the village.

His mother ran away with another man when she was a child, and his grandfather was in poor health and could not do heavy work.

Grandma is in better health, but she has mental illness. Because she is poor, she doesn’t go to the hospital for treatment.

If no one is watching at home, she can jump into the pond and drown herself, roll down the mountain and kill herself, or even chop herself with a knife.

His grandfather spends most of his time at home guarding his grandma.

His father worked as a temporary worker here and there, making money for one person and spending for four others, which was a lot of pressure.

Guan Yiwen was discussing with his father at this time.

"Dad, I am already sixteen this year. Why don't you take me to the city to work as a temporary worker? Even if you only work for one day, it will be enough for my living expenses for a week in the next semester. When I grow up, I can earn my own money. Tuition is paid.”
