After electricity was connected, Jiang Shixun led the villagers to build a number of mushroom houses.
In order to save money, wood and bamboo are still used.
The raw materials for growing mushrooms were prepared early in the morning. Once the mushroom house was built, the raw materials were immediately put in and mushrooms began to be grown.
The main crop grown is still oyster mushrooms, which have been successfully grown and everyone has experience, so this time we directly expanded the scale of cultivation.
The other mushrooms are still being tested, so the scale is not very large.
A few days later, Zhou Yong brought people from the railway station cafeteria to visit. The people in the cafeteria were very satisfied with the cultivation environment and the growth of the mushrooms, and wanted to place an order after the visit.
But there was a problem at this time.
The train station cafeteria needed to procure not only mushrooms but also other vegetables. If they had to come and deliver them themselves, it would be very time-consuming, so they hoped Red Star Village could deliver them.
Jiang Shixun agreed immediately. The people in the cafeteria were very satisfied and placed an order for a month's supply. Hongxing Village would arrange people to deliver goods to them every day.
If there is no problem with the goods and the subsequent feedback is good, I will continue to place orders in the future.
The village cadres were all very happy, but they were all troubled when they thought about delivering the goods.
Chen Jianshe worriedly said, "There's only one tractor in the village right now. Will it be able to make it in time if we deliver the goods?"
Jiang Shixun said calmly, "So I'm planning to get an old truck to deliver goods. Now that our production capacity has increased, we're definitely going to deliver to more than just the train station cafeteria. There are also many cafeterias and restaurants in the city. As long as we can negotiate, we can deliver to them together, expand sales channels, and save on fuel."
When others heard this, they all thought it made sense.
After all, the demand for goods at just one train station isn't huge. If I only deliver to this one store, I won't even have enough gas to cover the round trip. How can I possibly make money? I'd almost lose money.
If it could be delivered to every canteen and restaurant in the city, the situation would definitely be much better.
Someone worriedly said, "A truck costs a lot of money, right? Even if it's old, it's definitely not cheap. I don't know how long it will take to get a return on investment if I get a truck like this back."
Jiang Shixun smiled and said, "So my plan is to continue to expand the scale of cultivation, and then we will set up a factory to specialize in the production of mushroom sauce. Fresh mushrooms are difficult to transport and preserve. They have to be delivered as soon as they are picked on the same day."
The cadres of the commune have come to investigate before. Once we successfully open up the market, most of the surrounding villages will follow suit and grow mushrooms. It is impossible for them to just watch us eat meat without even giving them a sip of soup.
If that were the case, they would definitely object. But fresh mushrooms can't be shipped too far. If everyone grows them, how will they be sold? So, we definitely need to build a factory to produce mushroom sauce. This would solve the transportation and storage problems, allowing us to sell the sauce nationwide.
We don't have to worry about the mushrooms you grow not being able to sell and just rotting in the mushroom house. If we don't open a factory, others will definitely do it, and then we won't be able to take advantage.
With such a large area, we can only build one mushroom factory in a short period of time. If someone else grabs this opportunity, we won’t be able to build a factory even if we want to, and then we will just have to watch others eat our meat.”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately convinced and wanted to set up the factory right away to avoid being taken advantage of by others.
Jiang Shixun smiled, but his mind was thinking about what Zhou Yong had secretly told him.
