Chapter 1227: Drying kelp in full swing(3/3)
"Ah Dong, how much do you think we can sell for so much kelp?"
"You have to weigh it to know how much it can sell for. Anyway, this year is more expensive than last year. It costs 7 cents per catty. You can do the math for yourself."
"They also said yesterday that a rope carrying water weighs more than 100 kilograms, and there are 400 ropes in one acre of land. So how much does it weigh? 20 tons?"
"You are stupid. You just said that you would carry more than 100 kilograms of water. Now you are dragging it here to dry. The water has dripped out. How can there be more than 100 kilograms left? Everyone said that there is only seventy or eighty kilograms left after hanging it up. A lot of it has fallen off.
It’s in the sea.”
The villagers all want to know how many kilograms of output can be produced from one acre of land, so that they can calculate the income and see whether it is worthwhile to follow the breeding.
A villager pulling a rope to dry the kelp said with a smile: "Some weigh 70 to 80 pounds, and some weigh only 60 to 70 pounds. You can't tell. Some of the kelp on the rope is a little small, and many of them have fallen into the sea."
.”
"Recently, we can pick up a lot of them on the beach. Some children and the elderly are picking them up on the beach."
"We picked it up and dried it, will A Dong keep it? Don't look down on us scattered things?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Collect it, you can pick it up, as long as the quality is good, I will take it."
"Okay, okay, my family has recently picked up dozens of kilograms and left them hanging in front of the house..."
"Me too……"
Ye Yaodong did the math. After drying the kelp, he would have to tear off the yellowed ends and repair them. According to the estimates of the villagers just now, the yield per mu may really be 10 tons, which exceeded his expectations.
It’s really a bumper harvest, maybe because there was little rain last winter and there was plenty of sunshine.
It's not as good as future production, but it's really not low, and it's a big harvest. Before last year, he thought that 5 to 8 tons would be good.
"You can't calculate it now. You have to wait for this batch of kelp to dry in the sun. Cut off the yellow ones with holes in the tail. Only after weighing them can you know the total weight. I also received dry goods. Once they are dried, weigh them for me.
It’s just a reference.”
"Haha, everyone is looking forward to it."
"This year's harvest will be great. Let's follow suit next year. If our luck is as good as this year's, next year every household will be able to buy a TV and a washing machine."
"Hahaha... everyone is looking forward to this day."
Ye Yaodong's words touched their hearts. Just thinking about it, they all felt happy that all their efforts would be rewarded. There was nothing better than this.
He saw that the venue was in full swing, and everyone was talking enthusiastically. His father and his mother came out first, and they were already surrounded by people.
After watching for a while, he also left and went to the old primary school.
As he walked in the village, his nose was no longer filled with the smell of salted fish and sea, but with the strong smell of kelp.
It seems that everyone has picked up a lot of kelp from time to time and dried it in front of their homes.
It can be seen that the technology is not up to par, and so much kelp still fell into the sea.
