Chapter 272 Are you sure you want a thousand pounds?
Tan Chen handed the letter of introduction to Director Xu.
"Director Xu, this is a letter of introduction from our commune. Please take a look and see if it's okay."
Director Xu took the letter of introduction and examined it carefully. "Well, the letter of introduction is fine. Just tell us the quantity you need, and I'll help you with production after you pay the money."
"However, the quantity cannot be less than 200 kilograms."
Shang Ruoting made a preliminary calculation of the demand for fertilizers. In this era, if fertilizers were used in paddy fields, one acre of paddy field would require about 40-50 kilograms. If the free acid was replaced with non-acid fertilizers, the amount would be halved, and the same effect could be achieved.
By this calculation, if 25 kilograms of fertilizer are used per acre of paddy field, their 6 acres of paddy fields will require 150 kilograms of fertilizer, and together with Yangmei's family, it will require 275 kilograms.
In addition, dry fields also require a certain amount of chemical fertilizers, but the amount used is half that of paddy fields.
She planned to use the same fertilizer on Yangmei's family's fields. In this way, the two families would have 24 acres of arable land, plus some of the wasteland would also need to be used, at least 400 kilograms.
There is also the wasteland of Aunt Chen Si's family. Planting corn and sweet potatoes also requires some fertilizer, so I brought it all along.
Finally, she reported a number to Director Xu.
"Director Xu, I'm planning to order 1,000 kilograms of fertilizer."
This number shocked Director Xu. Although he had a letter of introduction from Liuhe Commune, he knew in his heart that this was the fertilizer that Comrade Tan Chen intended to customize for himself.
He knew that Fengxian County was a pilot area for the household distribution policy, but how much land did this family actually get?
Why do we need so much fertilizer?
"Young comrade, are you sure you want a thousand pounds?"
Shang Ruoting affirmed: "I'm sure."
Such an order was not a big order for the fertilizer factory. Seeing that the other party was so sure, Director Xu did not ask any more questions.
"Okay, our factory price for fertilizer is 0.4 cents per kilogram. Even though you don't need to add free acid, the price won't change much."
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen had already asked Zhao Fa at home about the price of fertilizer. In previous years, the village bought fertilizer at 41 kilograms.
Moreover, judging from Director Xu's expression, he had no intention of asking them for fertilizer tickets.
Therefore, she was quite satisfied with the price of 40 cents per kilogram.
"Okay, we can pay now."
Director Xu saw that the two young comrades were efficient and efficient, so he did not delay and took them directly to the Finance Department to handle the formalities. Shang Ruoting paid the full amount at once and received a receipt at the same time.
The delivery time is set for one week later, and the fertilizer factory is not responsible for delivery.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen did not hesitate about this and borrowed the team's tractor to transport it back.
The couple settled the fertilizer issue and left satisfied with the receipt.
Although the price of fertilizer is not low for the people in the village, otherwise the village would not have used insufficient fertilizer in previous years.
But I don’t know if Yangmei and Aunt Chen Si can accept this price?
Shang Ruoting had already thought about this when she placed the order. After all, her fertilizer, which uses non-acid instead of free acid, has stronger performance.
Moreover, it was because of her that Yang Mei's family and Aunt Chen Si's family contracted so much wasteland. If she had something good, she would definitely take them with her.
If the two families think the price of fertilizer is too high and don't want to invest so much, she won't force them. If they can't use up all the fertilizer themselves, she can secretly hide it in the space and store it for use next year without any loss.
The two of them had accomplished their mission and felt no more pressure. They rode their bicycles slowly on their way home. When they passed by the commune, they returned the unused fertilizer coupons to Secretary Cui.
After all, helping Yang Mei's family and Aunt Chen's family to customize fertilizers was done first and reported later. Now that the matter is settled, Shang Ruoting naturally has to inform the two families.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Shang Ruoting asked Tan Chen to go home first, and she went to Yang's house.
After Shang Ruoting explained the matter to Yangmei, Yangmei frowned. It was not that she did not believe Shang Ruoting's words, but she had recently emptied her family's savings in order to build a greenhouse, and only had some money left to buy seeds.
Shang Ruoting saw that she was in trouble and thought that the fertilizer was too expensive.
"Yangmei, it's okay if you don't use this fertilizer. I just thought it was good, so I ordered some extra."
Yangmei frowned, not knowing how to explain.
Just then, Yang Tao came back from school. She saw Sister Ruoting and her elder sister talking there. She stood aside and listened for a while, and she understood the general meaning of what they were saying.
