Chapter 30 Buying Saplings
When he returned to the village, he took advantage of the fact that he had settled the accounts and paid for everyone, the fat man spread another message: "When going out to purchase fruit seedlings tomorrow, who wants to report the number of fruits."
Big Foot Sister is the most active: "I'm going to ask for a hundred trees, but what's the price?"
"I can't say it right now. Everyone goes home and lie on the kang to discuss it. I have to plant a thousand trees first." The fat man found someone to see it. It's okay to plant a thousand fruit trees on the land he opened.
When planting trees in the Northeast, spring and autumn can be done in both spring and autumn, and autumn seems to be better. Filling enough water and freezing in winter will continue to sprout and take root in the spring of the following year, and the survival rate is still high.
The fat man has his own plan: he wants to become the part of the wealth first, and at the same time, he also needs to drive the villagers. Things like planting and breeding must form a scale and establish a base to be more conducive to management and production and sales.
After paying the money, the fat man returned home and took out the large jar he bought from the box. There were a total of five bites, leaving the pickled sauerkraut in one bite, and preparing the rest for brewing wine.
Rinse the grapes twice with water, put them in the jar, add sugar, apply some white wine as a guide, then cover the mouth of the jar with kraft paper, seal them with yellow mud around, put them in the warehouse, and it is basically done.
Three tanks of wild grapes, one firm fruit, and a big braid were busy with work, while muttering: "Did we pick so many? Didn't we see where you put them?"
The fat man kept laughing and didn't say anything.
The next day, not many people signed up for fruit trees. In Captain Li's words, farmers were content with "two acres of land, one cow, and their wives and children". Planting fruit trees was considered a rabbit. There was a fight without any collision, and they were not sure about farming.
However, the quantity is quite considerable. Dajiao's wife's family reserved 200 trees, but the price was within 50 cents, and the other companies also had more than 100 trees.
When Bigfoot's wife handed the ten grandson together to the fat man, she obviously shook her hands: "Brother, this is my hard-earned money for a year, you must have a good eye!"
The fat man really admires these people. He dares to spend a hundred dollars to coax him. He is so brave. In fact, even the fat man is not sure. After all, he doesn’t know how to cultivate and care for fruit trees, and he also has to learn and sell it as soon as possible.
But the fat man can at least ensure that this general direction will not be wrong: "Sister-in-law, if it doesn't work, you will kick me with your feet at that time."
Of course, the most important thing is that some people are worried about the long fruit planting cycle and are afraid that one day the policy will change and the land will be reclaimed back to the production team, so they will be in vain.
The fat man laughed at this: Anyway, he has been going on for thirty years later, and the country's land policy has not changed, and the places that have changed have become more and more powerful to farmers. All three food and four expenses have been exempted, and the land is still being compensated.
Unfortunately, these things cannot be said openly, so the fat man decided to prove them with practical actions and made up his mind to: Planting fruit trees must be successful, and a good start is beautiful.
Because it involves several families, it is difficult for the fat man to go alone, so he invited Captain Li to accompany him.
Thinking that the land had been cleaned up, the captain agreed happily. Of course, there was another reason. Last time he went out with the fat man, he tasted the sweetness. So the owner of the car whip rang and the carriage carried three people away from Kaoshantun.
There is another big thing. The fat man begged Captain Li to issue a certificate and then reissue his and Qiqi's household registration. He always acted as a black household registration, and the fat man felt uneasy. Besides, it was not convenient to do anything in the future. It is said that it seems that he would not be able to get a marriage certificate without a household registration book.
Captain Li patted his chest and said: What a big deal, but fat man, you have thought about it. If you leave your household registration in Kaoshantun, even if you have a rural household registration, you will not be able to feed the food.
Fat people still care about these things. In another ten or eight years, when the grain market opens, how can there be any saying that food supply will be provided?
The matter is indeed as Captain Li said. When he arrived at the commune, he solved the household registration problem without any expenses. The fat man finally understood that the household registration management was still very loose at this time, especially in the mountains like Kaoshantun, where children usually only registered their household registration when they had to get married.
What was a little depressed when I called Fatty was that I heard that there was an eight-year-old "Huang Qiqi". The person in charge of poking him a card asked: "What's wrong with the second marriage?"
The fat man felt awkward: Is it wrong? I haven’t opened yet.
That night, the captain went back to the restaurant as he wished, and the fat man also brought more than a dozen kilograms of pine nuts to Dabianzi's house.
Dapianzi's mother didn't mention the money this time. Instead, she chatted with the fat man for a long time, which made the fat man frightened and walked on thin ice. She dealt with it carefully, but she almost took out her household registration book.
But it is understandable that the young girl lives in your house, so how can a mother not worry about her?
Staying in the county town for one night, the next day continued to go to Tianjiapuzi. It is a hundred miles away from the county town, but it is all plains and has convenient transportation.
When I saw the place, Captain Li couldn't help but smack his lips. The living standards here are obviously higher than those in Daqingshan, and they are even less comparable to those in Kaoshantun. You can see at the sight of the house, and there are very few thatched houses.
Looking at the four-wheeled wheels running on the ground, the car owner looked at his carriage and showed a rare solemnity on his face.
As soon as I asked about Tian Miaowang, someone gave them guidance: I walked to the west of the town and saw an orchard from afar.
I drove a cart to search and soon found a large orchard. Although the leaves have fallen and there are no fruits on the trees, the fruit trees are stuck there, making people feel a sense of momentum.
There are two brick houses beside the orchard, and there are rows of saplings in the ground in front of the house. Two big green dogs sway when they see a stranger.
A person walked out of the room. When he saw the fat man, he was stunned at first, then shouted the two dogs and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Huang Liang, I didn't expect you to come here."
The fat man smiled silly: "Of course, Brother Miaowang's orchard is fragrant and attracts people to remember. This is Captain Li from our Kaoshantun, and this is Tian Miaowang I told you."
Everyone exchanged a few greetings, and then they were asked to the house. Tian Miaowang's wife brought a plate of watery white pears, and several of them sat on the kang and ate while chatting.
I quickly turned to the topic. I heard that the fat man wanted more than 2,000 seedlings. Tian Miaowang patted his chest and said, "No problem, I mainly have peach trees and pear trees. Peach trees will be able to bear fruit next year. The pear trees will have the next year. It's just the right time to plant fruit trees in the mountains. The cost is small and you don't waste land resources. Unlike us, we are all good land, and I always feel that it's a pity to plant fruit trees."
"No wonder your family is still not large enough, but when we develop and we join forces, our sales will expand. Brother, there are not many people buying saplings in our village now. After two years, I will probably have to grow taller. You might as well cultivate more fruit saplings here, and we will become a one-stop production and sales."
"Production and sales are one-stop, this word is the most appropriate. Don't worry, Brother Huang, Captain Li, I will be responsible for sending people to provide you with technical support." Tian Miaowang also realized that this might be a long-term business, and he had a plan in his mind and decided to send someone to inspect the spring of the next year.
Finally, the price of saplings is set at 5 cents in the triangle, which is cheaper than the fat man expected. This is mainly because Tian Miaowang is preparing to cooperate for a long time. The normal price was around 5 cents.
Several people walked around the nursery again. Although the fat man didn't know much about it, the boss of the car and Captain Li had also fiddled with the fruit trees and kept nodding.
Especially the car owner, he finally took out a stack of money and bought three hundred peach trees and two hundred pear trees, with a very firm attitude.
The fat man couldn't help but smile and said, "So you have already kept a backup plan. This time you are here for a free inspection."
The car owner smiled and said, "I have to change my carriage, and I have to drive it with four wheels, so I don't have to feed grass or stuffing. I can run away if I give it some oil. I'll be quick to run."
The fat man's heart moved: Yes, as long as he still has dreams in his heart, life will have a future.
Captain Li was also moved in the end and asked the fat man to pay the money first. He gritted his teeth and bought two hundred peach trees.
However, Tian Miaowang's words finally said that they were full of confidence and were a little depressed: "It's still early to dig the saplings now. It's too hot. I'm walking on the road for two days. The saplings may die of dryness. In another month, it's just enough to freeze a little."
The fat man didn't want to go back and forth, so he patted the canvas bag on his waist, which contained an inseparable wooden box: It seems that he had to borrow this treasure.
