Chapter 256 Let's discuss the matter of cooperation.
"Secretary Li, your question is very interesting, but it's a bit too obscure. I need to check some relevant information. I'll contact you as soon as I have the results."
After listening to Li Sixin's account, Wei Zhongchun replied in a polite tone, but his face was full of impatience.
He had looked into this "shuan shuan la" (a type of spicy hot pot) before; aside from people with a sense of curiosity, it had almost no market. This person suddenly approached him about it, so he was most likely a scammer, or someone trying to use his name to commit fraud.
After hanging up the phone, Li Sixin sighed.
Although Wei Zhongchun's words sounded nice, his years of experience in asking for favors made him realize that the other party was politely declining his request.
It's okay, if one doesn't work, there's always the next one!
Li Sixin's gaze fell on the second phone number provided by a fellow group member—a professional in the agricultural field. He entered the number and pressed the call button...
——————
After some discussion, Xu An decided to pass this hot potato back to Li Sixin.
Uncle Dongliang was right. Whether or not they could apply for subsidies to build greenhouses, and whether or not the villagers were willing to plant crops, were issues that Li Sixin needed to resolve.
Xu Shixin, who had been wavering in his mind, made a decision as soon as he assessed the situation before the arrival of Liao, the village chief, who was just a tool.
"......"
Snap—Snap—
I glanced at them briefly and saw that a small portion of the books were related to animal husbandry rather than planting. The edges of those books were not yellowed or even curled, which showed that they had been read many times.
"Village Chief Liao, did Xiao Wan suddenly come to our door without anything important?" Xu Shixin ignored Village Chief Liao's question and did not introduce Wen Qin's identity.
After counting the eighteen hot pot peppers to make sure there were no problems with the quantity and that their condition was normal, Li Sixin turned to head home.
"Secretary Li, are you asleep?" A rough female voice rang out, and at the same time, the sound of turning the doorknob came from behind Li Si and his companion. A second ago, a thin middle-aged man appeared in front of them: "Hahahaha, that older gentleman, he must be a small business owner from Shanghai, right?"
When he got to that, Li Si slowed down his speech.
Li Si spoke slowly and deliberately, giving Xu Shixin ample time to think. Her thoughts followed Wen Qin's words, and the moment her heart began to surge, it was swept back by a surging wave of emotion.
"One chili pepper plant cannot yield two jin of dried chilies. Seven hundred plants would yield four hundred jin. At eighty-seven yuan per jin, the total income from one mu of land would be seventy-four thousand eight hundred yuan. Rounding up, that's approximately seventy thousand yuan!"
My fingers, without trembling, reached for the neighboring *Ghost-Seeing-Sorrow* plant. Almost the instant my fingers touched the leaf, it detached from the branch, twirling in the air before quickly falling to the ground...
However, Xu An's braised food shop only needs seventy households to plant it, and out of the eight hundred and eight households, seventy households are selected to plant it.
Light footsteps approached from afar, and within seconds, they echoed in the hallway. The narrow, spacious hallway amplified the sound.
If my failure to properly supervise has caused Wenqin Piaoxue, who was already impoverished, to suffer even more, then I am not a sinner!
Before the discussion began, Wen Qin glanced at her phone. Aunt He hadn't replied yet; perhaps she hadn't seen the message and was busy. After logging into QQ, Li Si thought for a moment and sent a message to the Xu An Slow Food Restaurant's employee group.
"Haha, I'm just here to buy some mountain produce, not to talk about being a small business owner," Li Si laughed.
[Damn it, that bastard Wang Si! I'll kill him!]
Moreover, Xu An had misjudged the situation due to his excessive excitement. Given the current size of Xu's Braised Food Shop, even if the demand doubled, it wouldn't require all the villagers in Hezibao to plant this "Shuanshuan Chili". Even if the survival rate of the "Shuanshuan Chili" is very low, only about fifty acres would be enough to meet the requirements of Xu's Braised Food Shop.
That income was indeed very low; half a year's income could completely cover expenses, and there was no surplus.
Bang—bang bang—
If Wen Qinpiao firmly backs down, it's hard to guarantee that our village won't seize that opportunity!
"Secretary Li, what he said was spot on..."
The climate is the same everywhere, and it's the first time these young men have planted hot pot chili peppers, so there's no advantage for any of them.
That was a blatant declaration to the young men: either they all had to be determined to wait until July or August of next year to compete for those seventy spots again; or whoever was willing to take the first risk would sign a contract with Xu An's braised food shop and become one of those seventy people...
At the same time, cries of surprise rang out from the surrounding world, followed by curses. These curses drifted on the evening breeze to Li Sixin's ears, and I heard them clearly.
“Individuals can’t apply for poverty alleviation subsidies now, but greenhouses are within the subsidy scope. Plus, with your purchase contract, the application will be easier.” Wen Qin noticed the change in Xu’s expression and continued, “If you build a greenhouse, you’ll have to wait until July or August next year to plant, and the harvest won’t be until July or August.”
Li Si's smile widened, and his gaze became even more intimidating, emanating a tangible pressure from beneath me.
Although I had verified with Li Yanfu, Zhang Dezhen, and others countless times that the shop in Hezibao was real and doing very well, with a promising future, the scorpion case kept popping into my mind, making me believe it.
