Chapter 65: First time selling lettuce, freshness guaranteed

The leaves can be used to grow seedlings, so isn’t the soil good enough?

So in Sister Liuhe’s mind, what does the better earth look like? Can corn and wheat seedlings be grown successfully using leaves overnight?

"I won't leave now. I'll wait until our vegetables grow up and the planting scale is expanded so that we can sell them wholesale in large quantities. I'll find buyers before leaving." Lu Liuhe said.

The two children are too young.

She is not yet able to be a hands-off boss.

Corn, wheat, rice, sweet potatoes and potatoes are all durable. They can be planted, harvested and directly stored in the base warehouse and can wait for her to come back and sell them.

However, green leafy vegetables are not resistant to storage. Once the planting area is expanded, you will not be able to eat them all. You have to harvest them and let the vegetable vendors take them away immediately, otherwise they will rot in the fields.

"Yeah." Zhou Jian nodded, feeling a little happy.

According to the growth rate of vegetables in the new experimental field, it will take at least until the sixth generation of vegetables is planted before the planting area can be expanded for sale.

But when it comes to selling vegetables, there are really vegetables to sell right now: "Sister Liuhe, the scale of lettuce planting has reached eight acres, and three acres of it can be harvested.

I roughly calculated the yield per mu, and it is definitely not as good as the first generation in Experimental Field No. 1, but it is also around 4,000 kilograms. Three mu of land means about 12,000 kilograms. ”

Lu Liuhe said: "I see. I will go out these two days to see if I can find a reliable person to come and collect the vegetables."

In the future, when she is not at the base, she cannot let the two children drive the vegetables out to sell by themselves. It would be too dangerous if they were targeted.

We still have to find a vegetable vendor who can come to the base to collect vegetables.

Speaking of traffickers.

She actually remembered a person, the middleman Zhao Yi in the black market, but she didn't know whether he was in the vegetable collecting business.

The base only strictly investigates the smuggling of grain, but does not mention the smuggling of vegetables. If Zhao Yi takes her vegetables to the black market for wholesale, it should be okay.

[Liu'er, I am the worm in your stomach. I guess you must be thinking about the middleman in the black market. 】

[That guy is quite reliable, but does he do vegetable trading business? The profit is small, definitely not as profitable as getting weapons, equipment and exotic materials. 】

[In vegetable trading, quantity is what matters. When the vegetable area of ​​Liu'er's new base is expanded, the output will naturally increase. By then, I guarantee he will make a lot of money. 】

***

Lu Liuhe has always been quick and decisive in doing things.

That night, she went to the black market, found the second-hand dealer Zhao Yi, and asked him if he was interested in trading vegetables.

"Sister, are you telling the truth? How many vegetables do you have and what are they?" How could Zhao Yi not do it? As long as it is a profitable business, he will do it!

"For now, we only have three acres of lettuce, about 12,000 kilograms. Can you eat it all?" Lu Liuhe asked.

Zhao Yi said: "Sister, you don't know this. Vegetables are in short supply and they are sold very quickly on the black market. There are 50 million people outside the high wall, and not all of them live in shacks in the slums.

Besides, people in the slums are divided into different classes, and there are many people who can occasionally buy vegetables to eat. Putting 12,000 kilograms of vegetables out would only be a matter of sprinkling some water. ”

Lu Liuhe has never studied this.

Zhao Yi took out the data and gave her a detailed analysis.

This vast area radiating from the high walls of the base is called the slum.

It is divided into upper three areas and lower three areas.

There are about 30 million people in the upper third district. He lives in the high-rise buildings in the upper third district, which are densely packed with pigeon cages.

People who live here work in various factories and can provide their family with a minimum of food and clothing.

There are about 20 million people in the lower three districts, most of whom are engaged in scavenging. Their income is very limited and they cannot guarantee food and clothing for themselves and their families. Death from starvation, illness or various accidents is common.

"I see." Lu Liuhe looked at the information carefully, returned the tablet to him, and said, "Then let's meet here at five o'clock tomorrow morning. I will deliver the vegetables to you."

She needs to see his sales ability before deciding whether to cooperate with him in the future.

If he is reliable, she will take him into the planting base so that the military brothers guarding it will be familiar with him, so that it will be convenient for him to find Xiao Jian and the others in the future and he can enter and exit the base smoothly.

"Okay." Zhao Yi knew that if he made friends with her, he would definitely have good luck. His face was full of smiles and he said, "Sister, the vegetable prices fluctuate every day. They are updated at 4:30 in the morning. Then we will follow the real-time vegetable prices."

Lu Liuhe made an OK gesture and separated from him.

**

the next day.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Lu Liuhe, Zhou Jian and Zhou Qi got up and started working.

In fact, they don't have to do anything. They just need to input data into the agricultural machinery and let it work in the fields on its own.

The agricultural machinery at home is really an all-rounder and can do everything. It goes into the fields to harvest lettuce, packs it into bags of 100 kilograms, and puts it into its own carriage.

Lu Liuhe was stunned when he saw this operation.

When they harvested potatoes and sweet potatoes before, they did it all by hand. You know, this machine is so smart and labor-saving. What’s the point of harvesting for the first time and doing it by yourself? It’s so pretentious. Just let it do it!

An hour later.

The lettuce from three acres of land has been packed into bags and neatly stacked in the carriage.

Lu Liuhe drove the car to the scale and weighed it. It was 13,500 jin, and the yield per mu was about 4,500 jin.

Because it was her first time to sell vegetables, and she was selling them to middlemen on the black market, she was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so she didn't let Zhou Jian and the others follow her and went alone.

Five o'clock.

She delivered the cart of vegetables to the meeting place agreed upon yesterday on time.

Zhao Yi was already waiting for her with his men. There was a large truck parked nearby. He walked up to her with a smile on his face and said, "Sister, today's wholesale price of lettuce is 30 Alliance coins per pound. Take a look."

Speaking of.

Hand her the tablet.

Since Lu Liuhe chose to cooperate with him, he naturally believed in him and said, "I don't need to look at my employees. There are 13,500 kilograms of lettuce in my car. It was just harvested from the field an hour ago. It is guaranteed to be fresh. You can take the people to watch the goods and unload them!"

"Okay, sister." Zhao Yi nodded hurriedly. To reassure her, he said, "Sister, they and I are brothers who have shared life and death together. We can trust them."

Then.

Then he asked his brothers to unload the goods.

Seeing that he didn't weigh it, Lu Liuhe smiled and asked, "Why don't you weigh it to see if I have mixed the good and the bad together and sold it to you?"

Zhao Yi smiled with a simple and honest face: "Sis, since you trust me so much, I naturally trust you too."

Lu Liuhe liked to work with straightforward people. He jumped off the driver’s seat with a smile and helped them unload the goods.

While unloading the goods, Zhao Yi sighed, "Sister, I heard that people with the ability of space can store a lot of things in their space. It would be great if I had this ability too. With a thought, all the goods in this truck can be stored in my space."

"Then you have to work hard." Lu Liuhe encouraged him.

Zhao Yi sighed, "I'm already eighteen this year. According to the data from the base, there are less than one in a thousand people who awaken after the age of eighteen. I don't know if I have that luck."

Lu Liuhe looked at the golden light of merit on his body, which was brighter than the last time they met. He said sincerely, "Don't worry, you are very lucky. I am very good at judging people."

After she finished speaking, she hissed in pain and gasped.

grass!

He is lucky.

She has bad luck.

It seems like my hand was cut by something.

Zhao Yi saw her pull her hand out, and there was an inch-long cut on the palm of her hand, with blood flowing out.

He quickly said, "Sister, wait a moment. I have emergency medicine and gauze in my car. I'll get them over to you right away."
