Chapter 273 Fish Farming Planning
Everyone in Huachidu Village had received their share. Gu Xixi asked An Qinghe to pick out the share for the local Gu family members, and had the driver deliver it to Tianshui Village.
There are many people with the surname Gu living in Tianshui Village. You can just leave it there and they can notify others to pick it up.
The three of them returned home and watched An Qinghe pour out piles of copper coins and start counting them.
Gu Xixi said to An Qinghe, "You don't have to run today. The elders of the clan will personally guarantee and collect the money on your behalf. When the money is collected in two days, it won't be too late for you to go again."
"Okay." An Qinghe used a rope to string a thousand copper coins together.
There was not much joy on his face about making money. He sighed, "Oh, what do you think we are doing by opening a workshop? We have to find a way to get the raw materials, which will cost a lot of money. We also have to properly handle the sewage as Xixi said."
"That's eight people, including the hired workers and the skilled stewards."
"Eight wages, and in the end, only these three or two pieces of fruit are left in our hands."
Because Gu Xixi had decided to sell fertilizers and pesticides at low prices from the beginning, opening a workshop was at most a way to earn some hard-earned money.
He Jinglan said, "I think this is very meaningful."
"Look, this small workshop has enabled eight people to find a way to support their families."
"Anqing and you have done a great deed by doing this."
An Qinghe thought it made sense, "Now that things are on the right track, I don't need to keep an eye on them all day, so I don't mind if I earn less."
Gu Xixi said with a smile, "You are only talking about the immediate benefits."
"In the future, Yunling County, the Pinellia orchard in Shu, my orchard, the orchard in the northwest, and the newly bought land, we can't do without this workshop alone."
"It won't be long before you have to hire a few more people and buy a few more sets of tools to expand production."
An Qinghe slapped his head and said, "Yeah, how could I forget about this? I am so short-sighted!"
He Jinglan curled her lips, "You used the idiom well this time."
Gu Xixi added, "That's not all. If our production process can be further optimized and efficiency improved, we can sell our products to more people."
"I'm only asking you to sell at a low price now, but that doesn't mean you can sell it to others at the same price."
An Qinghe took a deep breath, his eyes showing a cunning gleam that belonged to a businessman, "Yes!"
"These pesticides and fertilizers are specially formulated by you. I have these products that no one else has, so they should be very valuable!"
He didn't even bother counting the money, and turned to Gu Xixi with a fanatical look in his eyes, "As long as we can open up the situation and let others know that our products are good and effective, raising the price is no problem!"
"Ordinary people who farm buy big bags at wholesale prices, while rich people who take care of their homes buy small bags at a higher price."
Gu Xixi smiled and nodded, "Have you figured it out?"
An Qinghe was a real man of action, and he immediately said, "How about you get some fertilizer for the flowers and plants?"
"It can also be subdivided into different categories, such as orchids, peonies, and roses. Anyway, most of the raw materials are similar. The more categories there are, the more money you can make."
Gu Xixi looked at An Qinghe with some surprise.
An Qinghe was puzzled and looked down at himself, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh, I'm an amateur, that's all I'm saying. If you can't make many varieties, forget it."
Gu Xixi said with emotion, "I want to say that I admire you. This idea of yours is very good."
Not only is it good, it’s also very advanced.
The concept proposed by An Qinghe is the common professional gardening brand in later generations.
Subdivided categories of fertilizers and pesticides came into being only when people were generally able to eat and dress well, began to pursue spiritual needs, and gardening became a popular hobby.
The packaging is more exquisite than agricultural fertilizers, so the price is naturally much higher.
Gu Xixi said, "I think we can give it a try."
An Qinghe was surprised, "It's true."
Gu Xixi smiled and nodded.
There are only so many nutrients that plants need.
You just need to slightly adjust the proportion of the formula according to the characteristics of different plants. It is actually not complicated.
He Jinglan said sourly, "I only know that you two are going to make a lot of money."
An Qinghe said, "When we expand our business in the future, Ms. He can invest if she is interested."
He Jinglan immediately perked up, "That's what you said! As long as you have made your plans, feel free to contact me."
Anqinghe is serious, "It's a deal."
Gu Xixi couldn't help but laugh and sigh, "Now they are all happy, they are really two money-lovers."
He Jinglan snorted, "It should be said that the three of us money-lovers have met each other, so no one should look down on anyone else."
She was in a good mood and helped Anqinghe count the money.
After checking the amount of money, An Qinghe pushed half of it in front of Gu Xixi.
"This is your share. Use it as pocket money."
Gu Xixi pushed it back and said seriously, "Keep these for yourself."
"I have already paid my share."
An Qinghe was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.
"You mean the people who learned to grow corn from you?"
Gu Xixi nodded, "Yes."
"The current selling price is the limit of what they can afford. I hope that through these means, they can gradually have more food and clothing and have some extra money."
He Jinglan was excited, "You want to make the entire Huachidu Village prosperous?"
Gu Xixi said, "Not just Huachidu Village, the more places like this the better."
"This will be good for my farming and good for your business."
"Hmm..." He Jinglan pondered, "Let me give you an analogy that may not be appropriate. Let me tell you if it's right. It's like raising fish. If we put out bait first and let the fish eat and drink enough, then they can live and work in peace and contentment. If they live a good life and can make money, they will naturally be willing to spend money."
Gu Xixi's mouth twitched. "Although it's not very polite and the logic is a bit confusing...but the principle is almost the same."
An Qinghe stared at Gu Xixi in a daze, "Xixi, I will be devoted to you in this life! My most beautiful rose..."
Gu Xixi didn't want to listen to An Qinghe's cheesy words, so she got off the bed with a wooden face and said, "Hurry up and collect your money. I'll go get some drinks."
She walked out quickly and ran into Mr. Gu who was acting suspiciously.
Mr. Gu wandered outside the door for a long time, and finally he made up his mind and stepped over the threshold.
Then I heard Gu Xixi ask, "What's the matter?"
Master Gu was startled, raised his head, and said awkwardly, "Oh... I... just came to take a look."
Gu Xixi responded calmly, "Then come back after you finish reading it."
After saying that, she turned a corner and went into the kitchen.
Master Gu was anxious. "Um, the pesticides and fertilizers, are they all gone?"
He didn't go to the threshing ground today, but was squatting on the road.
Seeing that everyone else had taken the fertilizer and went to the fields, Master Gu felt very upset.
Finally, he saw a donkey cart carrying things out of the village, and he was completely panicked.
There wasn't even a single pack left for him!
Mr. Gu finally couldn't hold back any longer and ran to Gu Xixi's house again.
Gu Xixi looked at him, pretending to be confused even though she knew the truth, "I sold it for half an hour in the threshing ground this afternoon. Didn't you buy any?"
