Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 32: Fresh-keeping Box

Yu Yang had a general idea of ​​what vegetables should be planted in the brick kiln.

Looking down at the various packaging boxes in the yard of the small western-style building, I felt that they looked much better.

He got out of the car and asked his uncle to return the agricultural tricycle he had picked up on the roadside to the owner.

Then he invited the director of the carton factory to come to the living room.

After a brief communication, Yu Yang ordered 2 sets of suitcase-style gift boxes.

5 cents per set, total payment is 1 yuan.

If sales are good, we will place further orders.

Of course, this is the outer packaging.

The molds for inner packaging and other plastic factories arrived and transparent plastic boxes were produced.

When the time comes, pack the vegetables separately, in two layers, with two boxes stacked on each layer, and put them into a paper gift bag that can display the products inside.

In this way, it can be sent to various supermarkets for sale.

As for how to deliver it to supermarkets...

Our company is the most upstream industry and is only responsible for wholesale. We tell the vegetable vendors our ideas, and those who want to make money will naturally work hard.

Of course, vegetable vendors are channels, and we cannot leave everything to them. Once we have sufficient funds, we will need to open direct-operated stores.

……

After seeing off the director of the carton factory.

The 67 farmers recruited yesterday have reported in one after another in the name of looking for work.

Yu Yang thought about the newly developed industry, so he simply brought his new brothers to the brick kiln again.

Then divided into three shifts.

One shift renovated the brick kiln and removed excess refractory bricks.

The second shift demolished several small bungalows that were originally there at the brick kiln and were later collapsed by the flood.

The third shift used red bricks and clay to build a circle of walls around the courtyard to block the view.

Since the brick kiln is located at the northernmost end of Shiliying, almost no one comes here except for the occasional person visiting relatives at the Buddha Temple.

The brothers also went all out.

At noon, my eldest brother brought people to deliver food.

After eating and drinking, continue working.

Wait until evening.

The interior of the brick kiln was demolished where needed to be demolished, and opened up where needed to be opened up. After everything was done, we measured it on foot and found that the cultivable area was as much as 866 square meters, or one and a third acres.

Each farmer holds one mu of land and if he wants to maintain the brick kiln cultivation, he needs to accommodate at least 13 people.

If you want to increase the growth rate of vegetables to the maximum, you need to place an additional 4 people per acre of land, for a total of 65 people.

Yu Yang counted the heads of his brothers and found that there were 67 of them.

The two extra people patrol at night.

In the intervals between planting and harvesting, the brothers also had to build houses, put a roof on the kiln pit (the pit left by digging the earth) in the south, and build a cellar to store a variety of vegetables.

At the same time, in order to prevent his brothers from being bored, Yu Yang contacted the owner of a TV repair shop in Pingdong County and ordered 67 "monitors".

Then I contacted the sales manager of the computer mall and asked him to help me with 67 sets of keyboards and mice, and to deliver the assembled "computer" to my door.

Finally, I asked the other party to prepare more "memory sticks".

At this time.

When the second brother heard that they were going to buy more computers, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Boss, I heard that computers need an Internet cable."

"Don't we have any at home?"

“No, but it doesn’t affect my fun.”

Yu Yang thought about it and, in order not to let his second brother regret it, he contacted the telecommunications business office of the Buddha Temple and asked them to lay a few cables to the small western-style building, Yujia Village, and the brick kiln.

When the time comes, just plug it into the TV and you will be able to access the Internet.

Coincidentally, the wired signal converter can also be used as a 'modem'.

The second brother didn’t understand, but he was very happy.

Because he will be able to surf the Internet tomorrow.

So, I worked harder.

The eldest brother who delivered dinner witnessed all this and fell silent, then quietly distanced himself from the second brother.

After all, stupidity is contagious.

……

The next day.

The custom-made molds from the plastics factory arrived. We tried production on the spot and soon produced a simple food storage box.

After receiving the news, Yu Yang came to the agricultural machinery station and picked up the sample to study it.

It can't be soaked in water, so it should be able to stay fresh.

The foot was stepped on... and flattened.

But for something that costs only five cents, as long as it can keep things fresh and prevent them from being squeezed, that's enough.

He immediately signaled to the people at the plastic factory.

"Move the equipment to Yujia Village, start production of fresh-keeping boxes."

"Boss, does Yujia Village have transformers and transformers?"

"Uh... I guess not."

Yu Yang suddenly remembered that industrial equipment needs industrial electricity. "Then move it to the brick kiln. When the village renovated the tunnel kiln, in order to drive the flatbed rail car, the diesel engine drive was replaced with an electric motor drive. At that time, a transformer was installed, which should be a three-phase 380VAC."

"That's just right. I'll go call for help."

"Don't run around when you get to the brick kiln. Those sixty-odd new guys don't look like good people."

"???"

“Otherwise I wouldn’t have placed them in the brick kiln.”

"Boss, can we stay at the farm machinery station?"

"The agricultural machinery station doesn't have industrial circuits."

“Will those people beat us when we get to the brick kiln?”

"If he doesn't run around, he probably won't."

"Ok."

"By the way, how's the research on plastic wrap going?"

"I haven't heard of the food grade you mentioned, but as for non-toxic and pollution-free, it depends on how it is used."

"Tell me."

“Like PE material, which is made of polyethylene, it is non-toxic at room temperature, but it cannot be heated.

Material like PVC is made of polyvinyl chloride, which is toxic in itself, but it is cheap and easy to produce. Whether it is used or not depends on the merchant.

Materials like PVDC, which is made of polyvinylidene chloride, are more expensive, but are basically non-toxic and can be heated.”

The technician finished, “For our family to grow vegetables, PE plastic wrap is actually enough.”

“Can the plastics factory produce it?”

"We can't do that at the moment. We need to add extrusion film machines, stretch film machines, wrapping film machines, etc. But with the equipment, we can produce cling film of most materials,"

"How much money do you need?"

"We only produce single-sided mucosa or double-layer mucosa, not three layers or more. For a daily output of 1 ton, domestic equipment costs about 50 yuan, while imported equipment costs about 100 million yuan."

Yu Yang counted the money in his pocket.

I spent all my savings on an AMG Mercedes Benz and ended up owing 50 yuan.

The 50 yuan loan that the glass factory obtained from Liaoshi Commercial Bank belonged to the glass factory and had nothing to do with us.

Three plastic greenhouses are in use, producing about 3 baskets per day, totaling 2500 baskets, but most of them need to be supplied to large customers who have paid deposits in advance. The rest are calculated at a wholesale price of 7500 yuan per basket, with a daily income of 90 yuan.

But the day before yesterday, I repaid the county branch 20 yuan for the goods, plus more than 1 yuan in interest.

And yesterday’s payment…

Their own brick kiln was unable to produce red bricks, and the refractory bricks removed were not even enough to rebuild the kiln.

If houses, walls and gates are included, even more bricks will be used.

Therefore, it was necessary to order 100 million red bricks from Hangai, and then order a large amount of cement, sandstone, and steel bars from Shiliying and Buddha Temple...

So yesterday’s payment will be used up soon. If it is not enough, I will use today’s payment to make up for it.

I don’t know if the remaining money is enough to pay for the computer.

"Let's talk about the plastic wrap later. I don't need it right now, so I'll use the plastic wrap first."

"Good boss."

Yu Yang immediately dispatched personnel to help the plastic factory move equipment.

Busy for a long time.

I just returned to the small western-style building and planned to have a drink of water.

Three Santanas, escorted by two police cars in front and behind, parked at the gate of the small western-style building.

Yu Yang went out and looked at the license plate.

Oh boy, here comes the big fish.
