Chapter 148 Put it on the itinerary
Hu Shulan got angry after hearing this and started arguing with Feng Xiu again.
The quarrel between the two sides made the people nearby come to watch the show. At this time, Zhu Suisui took Lu Lanxu and the village chief away first.
The three of them drove the ox cart away.
The noise of the quarrel could still be heard, accompanied by the crying of Old Mrs. Xu. It was really lively.
The village chief felt uncomfortable and quickly left this place of trouble, feeling emotional as he went along.
"Xu's Snack Shop is so well run, I'm afraid it wasn't opened recently, it must have been around for a year or two. But you know, when Xu Xiayan was admitted to university, our whole village pooled together 200 yuan to give her. Who had an easy life in those days? Why did we save money to give money to Xu Xiayan? We were afraid that she would be bullied outside after being admitted to university. Who knew it would be like this?"
Just like Xiao Chou.
What could the village chief say? The money had been given away and there was no reason to ask for it back. However, there was still some resentment in his heart.
With a family like this, can we expect the college graduates to give back to the village?
Zhu Suisui and Lu Lanxu looked at each other.
Lu Lanxu understood what he meant and asked if he wanted to meet Yao Yu.
Anyway, all three of them have arrived in She County.
It's a good opportunity to chat.
When the village chief heard that it was related to the development of the village, he immediately perked up and even asked to treat us to a meal.
Even if you are the village chief, your life will not be much better. At most, it is better than those in the village. You have some subsidies from the government and can eat in the state-owned hotel, which costs at least several yuan. Four people will spend no less. The village chief really cannot pay for this.
Lu Lanxu contacted Yao Yu, who came over half an hour later.
The three of them went to the hotel and ordered food first.
When it came time to pay, Lu Lanxu and the village chief were competing to pay the bill, but in the end Zhu Suisui got the extra money.
The village chief was helpless. "You guys are such a jerk. I already said I paid for it."
"Uncle, there will be plenty of opportunities later. If you want to treat us to a meal, let aunt cook for us." Zhu Suisui said with a smile.
These words brought the two families closer together, and the village chief felt much more relieved. Compared with the Xu family, they were like heaven and earth.
As soon as the dishes came up, Yao Yu came over.
This matter had been discussed before, so Yao Yu talked about it with the village chief again, after all, he still had to pull the strings.
The village chief didn't expect Yao Yu to be willing to pay, so he took the money.
However, he did not agree immediately and thought about it for a while.
In the past, when doing business in the village, although they took the risks themselves, the money was actually in the hands of the villagers. Now, it is equivalent to receiving wages from Yao Yu. As for other things, how much they sell has nothing to do with them.
But it was difficult to convince the villagers. The village chief also tried to convince them, but every household was hesitant. The only one who agreed was Zhu Suisui's family. That little bit of land was not enough.
Now it comes to this.
Yao Yu is the only solution left.
But the village chief thought about it and said, "Can I do it myself with my land?"
Although he is a country boy, he still has a sense of adventure in him.
His family has more than ten acres of land under their control, so he can grit his teeth and take it.
Yao Yu glanced at Zhu Suisui, then thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you let the villagers choose, either contract it to me or do it themselves, but the contract quota is on a first-come, first-served basis, and I can only take on 50 mu of land. If you do it yourself, I can help sell the dates produced later as long as you agree to the requirements."
He wanted to test the waters first.
After hearing this, the village chief naturally thought this was a good idea.
After discussing some details, the village chief was in a hurry to go back and prepare.
There is no time to lose.
The two agreed that Yao Yu would come over tomorrow to check out the quality, and then pick a batch of dates to sell and see how the market reacts.
After dinner.
Yao Yu had other things to do, so he left first.
Zhu Suisui and Lu Lanxu naturally went back in the village chief's ox cart.
The village chief was quite cheerful, "When I have money, I will buy a tractor that can carry anything."
A few families in the neighboring village who became rich first pooled their money to buy a tractor for the village. The village chief was so proud that everyone who saw him was extremely jealous.
Although Village Chief Xu was also jealous, he thought that if his village was well developed and he made money this time, he could buy himself a tractor and let his family live a good life.
He wanted to rush home and gather everyone at home for a family meeting.
The next few days.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly.
Yao Yu is a reliable person. After arriving at the village, he went straight to the dates on the mountain. After tasting some, he understood why Lu Lanxu wanted to do this business.
The taste is indeed good.
He simply ordered a batch of dates at the price of 0.1 cent per kilogram, and bought 15,000 kilograms of dates. Including labor costs, the price was one yuan a day. As expected, a lot of people rushed to do the job, and he spent 1,600 to 1,700 yuan.
This amount of money is not small at all!
Yao Yu will have to pay for transportation and other miscellaneous expenses later, so it is estimated that this trip will cost more than two thousand yuan. In total, because it is close to the end of the year, the price of fruits will increase to a certain extent. After a compromise, the sales amount will be close to 20,000 yuan.
The profit and cost are probably about ten times.
This is certainly a better algorithm, but in the end it still depends on whether Yao Yu can open up this market.
Anyway, the village has been quite lively recently.
After Xingfu found out about the Xu family's affairs, everyone started to dislike Xu Chengcai. Now every household dislikes them. Later, Yao Yu came to buy dates, and the people in the village were all racking their brains to make some money for the New Year.
Even Mrs. Zhu couldn't stay idle.
"I don't want a dollar, I can do it with fifty cents."
Zhu Suisui was so amused that he said, "Grandma, this is immoral. How can you quote a low price? If everyone follows your example, how can others get a dollar?"
Labor is indeed the cheapest.
Old Lady Zhu still refused to give up, "Then I'm different. I'm an old lady, I do less work, so it's normal to have less."
It will probably take several days to pick and select more than 10,000 kilograms.
Even if it's just three days.
That's also RMB 1.5.
Old Mrs. Zhu didn't want to let the $1.5 slip away from her.
But it wasn't just Mrs. Zhu who felt the same way. Xu Hui was also very moved.
Zhu Sui was so entangled that he had no choice but to look at Lu Lanxu.
Lu Lanxu stepped forward and held Grandma Zhu's hand, saying softly, "Grandma, please let the young people do this kind of work. There are more important jobs for you, and you will still be paid when the time comes."
"What is that?" Mrs. Zhu was obviously very interested in making money.
Even Zhu Suisui was confused as to what kind of work could be given to the old lady.
Lu Lanxu laughed, "When the dates are picked, there will inevitably be some that are left to fill the number. When the time comes, use your sharp eyes to pick them out. See if you can help me."
