1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 47 The Small Shed Cabbage Hearts Come to an End
When he went to sell vegetables in the early morning, the raindrops were drizzling. Feeling the wind and rain coming towards him, Yi Dinggan seemed to have understood the seven-word mantra.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
He is not a big gambler, but he gambles often. He can play chess, Landlord, Mahjong, and Golden Flower.

Whether it is a perfect match in mahjong or your successful stealing of chicken in fried chicken, it can bring him sensory stimulation.

What is the secret for vegetable farmers to make money?
Stability can ensure the lower limit.

But if you want to break through the upper limit and make a lot of money, you can only gamble, or it would be more appropriate to say take a chance.

What are you betting on?
Varieties, market conditions, time, weather, transportation, disasters, artificial monopolies, hoarding... can all become factors affecting the market.

So it’s about betting on the market.

Just one correct bet a year is enough for ordinary vegetable farmers to stand out and become part of the high-income group among vegetable farmers.

Yi Dinggan felt that he understood Chen Jiazhi's thoughts.

I also feel that there is a great opportunity.

On the contrary, there are not many people planting water spinach recently. Even if there are no unexpected factors, it is likely that it will be sold at a low price, making little profit but not a loss.

But if an accident happens, it will be a great opportunity!

Then why not gamble?

Especially seeing Chen Jiazhi and Liu Minghua busy in the market.

Although the market was declining and vegetable prices were falling, they were all sold in the end.

Moreover, the wholesale price of water spinach at 5 cents per pound is actually not low, and there is money to be made. Based on Jiazhi's output, he actually makes a lot of money.

This is the right thing to do with the small arch shed!

Take a gamble, and your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.

In fact, the current situation is a bit beyond Chen Jiazhi's expectations. His water spinach was harvested a little late, or the output far exceeded expectations, making the vegetables in his field "unsellable".

The original plan was to sell all the water spinach in Plot 1 in two days, or at most three days, but it ended up taking me four days.

The same is true for the next few batches of water spinach. The yield is higher than expected, but one step late, and then another. Now we are racing against time~
Today he harvested more than 500 kilograms of water spinach, and he directly asked for 5 cents per kilogram at the beginning.

This caught many vegetable farmers off guard.

The first wave of customers allowed him to sell nearly 200 kilograms of goods, which made him very happy. The rest depends on time.

However, there are still a lot of water spinach in his field. The approximately 0.5 acres of land in Field No. 2 has been divided into two batches. Now it is estimated that about 2100 kilograms can be harvested.

In addition, there is also 0.3 acres of water spinach in the small arch shed on the No. 6 plot taken over from Liu Minghua, with more than 1000 kilograms of water spinach.

All waiting to be harvested.

In short, it's a bit hard to sell.

Now water spinach is completely competing with the market for time. If it sells for 5 cents more a day, it can earn dozens of dollars more.

Playing with the heartbeat.

In order to harvest more water spinach, he picked less bitter melon and loofah today.

As for Chinese cabbage, the loss of Heshang's 80 kilograms of Chinese cabbage will affect his income, but there are not many Chinese cabbage left in his field. The last batch of Chinese cabbage in Field No. 5 will be cleared out in another day.

What's left is that you can pick up some Chinese cabbage transferred by Liu Minghua in plot No. 6.

In the early morning of that day, Chen Jiazhi earned 579 yuan.

The next day, he also earned 529 yuan.

His income is decreasing, but he is still the most outstanding among the small vegetable farmers. Even among the mobile vendors in the entire market, he has the largest number of vegetables.

At the same time, the Chinese cabbage in Plot No. 5 was also completely cleared out, which meant that the Chinese cabbage in the small shed came to an end.

"Jiazhi, how many kilograms of Chinese cabbage did you harvest from your small greenhouse this season?"

Early in the morning, when I returned to Dongxiang Vegetable Market, two veteran vegetable farmers, Li Mingkun and Guo Mancang, came to the door.

It's nothing, I'm just curious. If I don't find out clearly, I'll feel uncomfortable as if there are ants crawling in my head.

Qi Yongfeng, Yi Dinggan, Chen Jiafang, Huang Juan and others were also looking at Chen Jiazhi and Li Xiu, who were counting money by the bed. Li Xiu was frightened by the sudden sound and withdrew her hands.

Chen Jiazhi thought for a moment and said, "We probably harvested a little over 3000 kilograms, but less than 3100 kilograms of vegetables."

"Sure enough, there are 3000 kilograms. The yield is so high. This acre of Chinese cabbage alone sold for more than 4000 yuan. The cost of the small arch shed and fermented pig manure is only more than 800 yuan. Excluding seeds, fertilizers, labor, etc., the net profit is 3000 yuan per acre. It's amazing." After knowing the final result, Li Mingkun and Guo Mancang breathed a sigh of relief.

The Sijiuxin variety is more adaptable to high temperature and high humidity environments, but its yield is not as good as the 80-day, 120-day, and late choy sum varieties sown in spring and autumn.

A yield of more than 2500 jin per mu of Sijiuxin can be considered high.

Based on the income from Chinese cabbage, Chen Jiazhi's small greenhouse has made a great contribution this time!

There was a lot of rain when this batch of Chinese cabbage was in the seedling stage, and the quality and yield of the open-air Chinese cabbage were greatly affected.

Some of them died along the way due to poor management.

The Chinese cabbage in Chen Jiazhi's small shed was intact, with first-class yield and quality. He sold it at a high price before a new batch of outdoor Chinese cabbage came out.

Even this morning, the price of Chinese cabbage was still 1 yuan per catty.

Make a lot of money!
Yi Dinggan was listening in the room and once again felt the charm of taking a chance.

The women also envied Ma.

In fact, everyone is doing well this season, at least one crop of water spinach has been sold at a high price.

In addition, Li Mingkun has a stable supply of cucumbers, Qi Yongfeng and Guo Mancang have a stable supply of loofahs, and their income is much better than at the beginning of the year.

But people are afraid of comparison.

Chen Jiazhi can kill everything with just the Chinese cabbage, not to mention that there are large quantities of water spinach on the market to ensure a lower limit.

Although the price is low, the output is considerable!

"The look in your eyes makes me feel creepy!"

Everyone gathered at the door and looked at Chen Jiazhi. Qi Yongfeng said, "Brother Zhi, why don't you take me in as your disciple?"

"Stop, don't do that."

Chen Jiazhi was a little helpless: "I have said everything I need to say, without hiding anything. Just like when I asked you to sow vine vegetables and buy agricultural supplies this time, I will do what I said.

A lot of vine vegetables have been planted.

Don’t think I make a lot of money, I spend it all on agricultural supplies, and I will spend all the money from selling vegetables except for the necessary living expenses.”

Everyone was silent.

Some have sown other vegetables.

Some people are not optimistic about water spinach.

Some people have recently saved some money with great difficulty, and their lives have finally gotten better, and they don't want to spend it all so quickly.

Human nature dictates.

Only Yi Dinggan's eyes in the room were shining. That's it, with a try, the bicycle turned into a motorcycle.

...

Wu Yaohua, the catering manager of a high-end hotel, came to the hotel kitchen.

"Master Shi, a customer today said the choy sum wasn't as crisp and juicy as it was a few days ago, and the stems felt a bit dry. We might need to look into where the problem lies."

Master Shi smiled bitterly, took two steps, and picked up a few cabbage hearts.

"It's probably the difference in raw materials. The choy sums I received yesterday and today aren't as good as they were a while ago. The stems are a little thicker and harder."

Wu Yaohua frowned: "Have you told the supplier?"

Master Shi shook his head. "Last month, the vegetable supply was purchased by Xu and Mr. Xu. The choy sum and kale we've had these past two days were also purchased from Jiangxin Vegetable Market. However, there was a period of time at the beginning of the month where Jiangxin Vegetable Market was out of stock, so Mr. Xu had to find it outside. He's been switched back recently, so it's hard to say."

Xu He is a relative of the boss, and Jiangxin Vegetable Market is one of the hotel’s long-term suppliers.

There is no problem from the program point of view, and the background is also strong.

Wu Yaohua communicated with Master Shi for a while, but only one or two customers reported a change in taste, so the matter had to be left unresolved for the time being.
