Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Li Erleng said, "Today we had pork stewed with pickled cabbage and mushroom stewed with chicken for lunch. We ate as much as we wanted. We bought ten kilograms of good meat and killed two fat chickens."

The stupid cousin Wang Xiaoqi didn't believe it: "We have been friends for so many years, how can I not know how stingy you are? I have never seen meat when I came to visit your relatives."

Li Erlang's face turned red. "That's just because we're poor. This year is different from previous years. This year, three acres of cucumbers and two acres of beans sold for more than two thousand yuan, and we're still finishing the business. These twenty acres of corn can probably sell for six thousand yuan, and you can have less meat to eat."

Most of my relatives are from Lijiatun, and most of my wife's relatives are from Zhangjiatun. These relatives are also getting better, and are much better than last year.

But Wang Xiaoqi's family is still as poor as before.

While breaking the sticks, Wang Xiaoqi asked Li Erleng: "Does this kimchi factory accept goods from other villages?"

"Collect them. We need wild vegetables, medicinal herbs, fungus, mushrooms and other dry goods."

"No, I mean cucumbers, beans, corn, etc. I want to grow them and sell them to the kimchi factory."

"Well, forget about it for now. The kimchi factory is worried that the people will use pesticides recklessly when farming. All farmers must register in advance and use fertilizers and pesticides according to the requirements. The county's inspection vehicles have arrived at the entrance of the village. Once the inspection is found, it will not only affect one or two families, but the entire village. So no one dares to use pesticides recklessly."

"My family is poor but stable, so it's not a big deal. Is there any good solution? Please help me think of one."

"Yes, your daughter is already 18 years old. If there is nothing else to do at home, she can go to work in the kimchi factory. The monthly salary is 45 yuan, plus bonuses, it will be more than 60 yuan. Food and accommodation are provided."

"That's fine. I'll let her sign up later. But she won't make a lot of money. Is there any way to make a lot of money?"

Li Erleng pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"I remember that your family has more than ten acres of low-lying land. Large ponds are not suitable for growing rice. If you ask me, you should raise geese. It's only the sixth month of the lunar calendar now. You can raise a few hundred and sell them during the Chinese New Year. Everyone has tens of thousands of kilograms of corn. Raising geese is profitable."

Wang Xiaoqi's yard is only a hundred meters away from the pond. Isn't this a unique condition?

“It’s easy to raise, but are there stable sales channels?”

"Yes, it's Liu Xialian. Her family runs several restaurants and they buy geese every day."

Wang Xiaoqi was quite tempted. A big goose costs only six or seven yuan. If he kills it just for meat, it will only take about four months. Besides, geese are herbivorous birds, so their consumption is affordable, and the profit is considerable.

"Ask me when you see me when the delivery is done."

"Liu Xia Lian is not easy to run into. If I see Li Hu later, I'll ask him for you."

Soon, a few people loaded two donkey carts with corn and sent them to the purchasing point. There were not many people there. The specifications were very strict. Those that were too small or had big insect holes were removed.

The village chief was cursing, "You fool, didn't you hear what I said yesterday? Don't waste time bringing anything that doesn't meet the specifications. This is the goods shipped to the southern port city. You can keep it for yourself."

Li Erlangzi sighed, "We didn't manage it well. One corn plant has two fruits, one big and one small."

Chun Lan spoke up: "We have to follow the specifications requested by the buyer. It may seem inhumane, but it is actually for long-term development. Only when the buyer makes money will he continue to buy our corn next year, and our village can become prosperous."

Li Erleng said, "I'm just saying. There's not much corn left. We have six big fat pigs and more than fifty chickens at home. What can be left?"

The two trucks carried a total of 1,800 kilograms of corn, which they sold for 90 yuan. Wang Xiaoqi was so jealous that he couldn't bear it. The two trucks were only a quarter of an acre of land, and his own acre of corn harvested and dried only made 100 yuan.

Li Erleng put away the note and was not in a hurry to take the money because he had a lot to sell today.

Just not far away, I saw Li Hu driving a carriage pulled by a big blue horse, with a pony following behind.

Erlang waved his hand to stop Li Hu.

"Huzi, what are you doing?"

"What's up, Erlang brother? I have chickens to sell. I went to the forest farm to deliver goods. I just received some chickens and geese."

"It's like this. My cousin from Xiaowangzhuang has dozens of acres of low-lying land at home. He wants to raise hundreds of geese. I wonder if it's easy to do?"

"You are asking the right question. Zhangjiatun is supplying goslings at this time. If he wants to raise them, he must come seriously. He needs to be trained for five or six days before he can get the goose seedlings and start raising them. There are three major benefits for farmers now. First, you don't have to pay for the goose seedlings. You sign a contract and pay off the seedling money when the geese are delivered. Second, you prepare the food yourself. We will mix it for you for free, so that the geese grow faster. Third, we will provide technical guidance throughout the process."

"So what's the profit of this thing? Is it profitable to raise it in large quantities?"

"There is profit, but people are different. Some people can earn fifteen hundred yuan from raising a thousand geese in four to five months, while others can only make four or five hundred yuan at most. In short, there is a difference. It depends on how hard you work. If, as you said, you have forty or fifty mu of ponds, raise fish underwater and geese on the surface, you can raise three thousand geese and produce fifty thousand kilograms of fish. But it's very tiring and you're busy all day long. Cutting grass to feed the geese, shoveling feed to feed the geese, cleaning, in short, it's very busy."

Wang Xiaoqi beside him was somewhat moved by what he heard and nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the technical training after I finish these few days of work."

Raising geese is one of Liu Xialian's key development projects. Northeast China is vast and sparsely populated, with fertile land, high grain yields, and a wide variety of grains. There are a lot of wild grasses and forage grasses, and the price is extremely cheap. Raising geese and fish together increases the utilization rate of ponds, and it is a path of healthy development. When the business expands, geese are supplied to the south. The way Northeasterners cook geese is relatively simple, that is, stewing geese in an iron pot, but southerners are different. They can make various kinds of roast goose rice, crispy goose, and roast goose.

Two days later, the first batch of goods was shipped from the county town by train, and then shipped to the provincial capital by train. After arriving at the provincial capital, it was put on an express train and departed for Pengcheng. There were four carriages in total, loaded with 135 tons, of which 1,220 tons were corn and 15 tons were large ice blocks. Several tons of large ice blocks were placed in each carriage for cooling. The temperature in the Northeast is low, but once you enter the interior, the temperature is 35 or 36 degrees all the way south. If you don't put ice blocks, the fresh corn will go bad.

Li Meng led seven loaders to escort the corn. The journey was quite fast, and they arrived in Pengcheng in two days and two nights.

Chen Guoqing was greatly surprised when he received the goods. He admired Liu Xialian's thoughtfulness, but he also felt that he had lost out. If he packed less ice, wouldn't he be able to transport more goods? Next time, two tons of ice would be enough in each carriage.

As others have said, this trip was very tiring. After deducting various expenses, Liu Xia Lian only made a net profit of 6,000 yuan. In a month, she only made 60,000 yuan by making ten trips of cargo.

Chen Guoqing's profit was slightly higher, at least more than 10,000, because the selling price in Gangcheng was relatively high.
