The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 407: Surprises from Procurement

"Wolfberry? Can you grow wolfberries?"

This thing is very valuable now, it is hard to find. Now it is only available in Chinese medicine stores.

Kong Dongcheng is the purchasing agent, so he must know how precious this thing is.

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"A lot of seeds haven't been planted yet, but we are building a canal now. Next year, we will plan a large team to plant wolfberries. How about I take you to see what I have planted first?"

Liang Xinyue did try to grow a few wolfberry plants, and it was time to pick them. Now they looked beautiful.

Kong Dongcheng became interested, and even Director Ren was surprised to hear that Liang Xinyue had cultivated and trial-planted wolfberries.

Let's all go and watch it together.

Liang Xinyue’s wolfberry seeds are planted in the middle of one of the three seedling sheds.

She took these people to see the shed where wolfberries were grown:

"Come on, come in, it's inside."

When they saw the saplings full of red wolfberries, they were all stunned.

There are many fruits hanging on each pole, which make the branches hang down.

Liang Xinyue took a look, picked a few and put them in her mouth and started eating.

"You can try them all, they are delicious. It seems like it is time to pick them. I will pick them and take them back to dry in the shade."

Director Ren was very surprised:

"Deputy Director Liang, do you really want to expand this?"

"Well, I don't have many seedlings now. There are probably only a few hundred in the valley. I'm still a little short, but after I'm done with this busy period, I'll come back and sort it out. I estimate that by the time I plant next year, I'll still have thousands of plants."

I don’t know if it’s because of my good luck or the golden finger of a time traveler, but although Liang Xinyue has inherited the planting techniques from her previous life, she found that no matter what she planted, the survival rate was 100%.

Even she tried, and the seedlings she planted afterwards all survived.

Therefore, raising seedlings is really not difficult for her. As long as she has the main plant, she can separate it into many small plants in the future.

Director Ren heard Liang Xinyue say that there were at least a thousand trees. In this case, if they were planted next year, they might be able to provide food and clothing for an entire brigade.

Director Ren was very happy.

Kong Dongcheng was also very happy and excited. Wolfberry was the most difficult thing for them to purchase. First, the quality was important. Second, the price was too high. Third, the quantity was small. Therefore, some candies that required wolfberry were no longer added.

After tasting one, Kong Dongcheng said repeatedly:

"I want to make a deal with you guys first. Can you give me all the wolfberries from now on? I promise I won't let you lose money. The main thing is the quantity. I can't get that much right now. I didn't expect you to succeed in growing them here."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Even if it succeeds, this is all we can give you this year. We'll have to wait until next year for the larger quantity. Will you still need our peanuts, soybeans, etc. next year?"

"Yes! As long as the quality is guaranteed, I want them all. And I'd be fine if I can get a whole trainload back at once."

Director Ren and Liang Xinyue were both surprised when they heard this.

Director Ren said happily:

"Okay, if you can help us sell the cash crops we grow here to the south, we will give them to you in the future."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Besides wolfberries, what else do you lack?"

"Sesame. The yield of this thing is also very low. We also want a large amount, but only a small amount."

Even without him saying it, Liang Xinyue could imagine that in this day and age, every family is short of food, and even the food in the country's treasury is running low. Large quantities of food have to be imported to ensure some supply.

If the land in the south is not used to grow crops, there will be a fine. It is impossible to grow cash crops on it.

But it happens to be possible here.

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"Let's think of a way to plan it. Next year, we will have at least two teams planting wolfberries and two teams planting sesame. We'll plant them everywhere, and you must come to harvest them."

Liang Xinyue dared to make this decision because she was an expert in this area, and both Director Ren and the county had said that in the future, they should follow her advice and engage in characteristic agricultural planting.

Moreover, with Xinshui Village having set such an outstanding example, other brigades had already begun to get restless. They had long wanted Liang Xinyue to arrange what to plant for them.

Liang Xinyue is waiting for the canal to be repaired so that she can arrange the planting in sections, with those who plant peanuts planting peanuts and those who plant soybeans planting soybeans.

I will try to get some instruments from Lao Ye and prepare to do a quality analysis of the land in each brigade, and plant whatever is suitable.

Liang Xinyue always thinks about what she should do in the future at night. Now that she has decided that she is in agriculture, she will use her agricultural knowledge to lead the people of this county towards prosperity.

Then start with having enough food and warm clothes.

With Liang Xinyue's words, Kong Dongcheng was very satisfied. When he turned around and left the shed, he also saw some Chinese medicinal materials:

"Hey, you guys are also planning to grow Chinese medicinal herbs?"

"Yes. We can grow some here. So I'll try growing some here first. I've planted dozens of Chinese medicinal herbs in these three sheds. Take a look and see which ones you want?"

Kong Caigou was very surprised, but he felt that he didn't understand much. He could recognize some medicinal herbs after they were prepared, but he couldn't recognize them after they were grown.

Liang Xinyue reminds

"Each one has the name of the medicinal herb on it."

Only then did he see that there was a small piece of paper hanging on each plant.

He gently parted the leaves and looked at them, exclaiming in surprise:

"These, these, I can buy them. Really, some of the candies we make also contain some Chinese medicinal herbs. If you can really grow and make them, we will buy them."

Kong Dongcheng felt like he had come to a golden nest. Everything here was what he wanted, but he couldn't have them all now. He had to wait until next year to grow them.

After leaving the greenhouse, Kong Dongcheng sighed regretfully:

"I wish I had known you had so many varieties here. However, it's not too early. You haven't planted them yet. If you had planted them earlier, I would have taken them away in a carload of peanuts."

Director Ren said with a smile:

"Then let's get the peanuts first this time. If you like them, you can also reserve some soybeans from the mountain."

After returning to the brigade headquarters, they discussed the price of peanuts.

Kong Dongcheng also said:

"Now in the south, the price of peanuts has remained stable. Since the last natural disaster, the weather in the south has been good, but it still cannot provide enough food for people."

"I have to pay for the transportation and other expenses if I ship the peanuts back from your place, so I can't give you a very high price. How about you give me the same price as in the south?"

Liang Xinyue's mind raced after hearing the price he mentioned. If this batch of peanuts was sold based on that, it would only be a few hundred yuan, less than a thousand yuan.

Liang Xinyue frowned, while Director Ren and Captain Liu raised their eyebrows happily. This price doesn't seem to be low.
