Chapter 492: largest vegetable wholesaler
Chapter 492 The largest vegetable wholesaler
Mr Zhao built a small pepper workshop for less than two months, but stopped due to lack of raw materials.
In the few days when work stopped, the wrinkles on the frowning face grew a few more.
In order to make her happy, Zhao Erwa took her out to watch the artisans preparing the ice sculpture exhibition. She accidentally saw a tricycle pulling a cart of fruits and vegetables to the market, including fresh peppers, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She followed the tricycle to the market.
After learning that chili can be grown in the greenhouse at any time of the year, Zhao Erwa immediately said: "Mother, you can let Dad contract 100 acres, our workshop will have chili available at any time!"
With the pepper seeds of the white phoenix tree, one acre of pepper can yield about 3,000 to 5,000 pounds.
One hundred acres, peppers can be piled up into mountains, they are a small pepper workshop, where can they use so much.
And if you contract 100 acres, you can't spend money!
If is contracted, then people must not be hired to plant or manage it, and manure must not be spent, which is another huge expense.
She can predict how many chili peppers she will use in total next year, and stockpiling more is more risky than laboring to plant a hundred acres of land.
Zhao Erwa saw that Mother Zhao had no intention of contracting, and immediately asked the village chief Zhao, "Uncle, uncle, how much is the rent for one hundred acres?"
Village Chief Zhao said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's just a dollar a month."
One coin a month, twelve months a year, and the basic expenditure is one hundred and twenty taels.
Everyone smacking their tongues together, it's not expensive!
What ordinary family can take out 122 taels a year!
One hundred and twenty taels can buy two villas.
Zhao Erwa is very smart. Every time the court takes the lead in a project, there is no unprofitable project.
You can farm whatever you want throughout the year, and it is not affected by the season at all. Even if Zhao Erwa doesn't know how much the cost will be, it will definitely not be a loss.
For example, 100 acres of chili peppers, they can’t use them themselves, they can also sell them to restaurants, to other food factories, and to his sister’s rouge gouache factory. The red pigment extracted from chili peppers has a lot of demand over the year.
Besides, it’s not just about growing peppers.
Flowers that girls like, strawberries that are suitable for all ages, etc., not all can be grown.
Zhao Erwa felt that the reward would definitely be greater than the risk. If Zhao mother didn’t want to contract, he would contract it himself. Anyway, he didn’t like to study, so he just inherited his father’s business and went home to farm.
Zhao Erwa rolled her eyes and asked, "Uncle, can you pay the rent month by month?"
He saved twenty taels of silver, enough to pay the rent for two months.
If you have to hire someone to buy seedlings, 20 taels is a drop in the bucket.
Many people are concerned about this issue. The village chief Zhao shook his head with a smile. "Contracting a greenhouse is signing a contract with the imperial court. At least two years of contracting must be contracted at one time, and one year's rent must be paid in advance."
Hearing this, many people lost the idea of visiting the greenhouse.
The investment of hundreds of taels a year, even if you know how to make money, there is no money!
Zhao Erwa was also choked for a while, and he had to go to his sister to borrow more than a hundred taels.
Suddenly, I heard the village chief Zhao say again: "You can borrow money from the imperial court, you can get a house or land, there is only one chance, everyone must seize it."
Those who do not have a house and no land are left alone.
This is not a project they can do.
Let’s work honestly.
Zhao Erwa heard the village chief Zhao say that there is only one chance, which must be a hint to him that it is very profitable.
Zhao Erwa's heart was surging, "Uncle, uncle, my mother and I want to sign up first!"
Mother Zhao stared, indicating how to plant a hundred acres, but she couldn't.
Zhao Erwa immediately lowered her voice and said, "Mother, you see that Uncle Zhao has sold so many fruits and vegetables in a short time. It can be seen that the market demand for fruits and vegetables is huge. Let's take a look first and calculate the cost. If you think it's inappropriate, Then forget it, there's not a single piece of meat lost anyway."
Mother Zhao thought so too, let’s see, and I can gain more insights, so I agreed.
Zhao Hongyun definitely couldn't come up with one hundred and twenty taels of silver, but he just wanted to see how the greenhouses grow out-of-season vegetables and fruits.
He was experimenting with floor heating at home, but what was wrong?
Cui Muzhi's cake shop sells the best strawberry flavor. Without the strawberry ingredients, it has little impact on the cake shop, but it makes the customers very concerned about it.
Mrs. Zhang gave Mrs. Cui a basket of fresh strawberries, which are big and sweet, and are of excellent quality.
He went to the market to buy strawberries. The strawberry seller was the village chief Zhao, and said, "Uncle, how many strawberries do you have, I bought them all."
He now wants to buy all the strawberries and stock up.
The head of the village said with a smile: "I planted one acre of strawberries, and the food factory has already ordered the 500 kilograms of strawberries."
"You have to buy it in a few days."
Cui Muzhi frowned, "Can you produce a few hundred kilograms in a few days?"
Zhao Village Chief smiled and said, "Yes."
Cui Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great." If it is processed and preserved a little, it should be able to be used in the store for a month.
The village chief Zhao knew that Cui Muzhi's cake shop had a great demand for fruit, and asked him, "The imperial shed has hired a contractor to grow strawberries all year round. Would you like to contract a hundred acres and try it?"
Cui Muyi was stunned. He didn't have the energy to manage a 100-acre strawberry field. However, if he had his own strawberry base and the cake shop could supply fresh strawberries at any time, he could open more branches and he could go home. Ask Mrs. Cui, who is good at managing the family business, if she is willing.
Cui Muzhi nodded, "Uncle tell me about the specific situation first."
The village chief Zhao saw the show and hurriedly introduced the benefits of greenhouse cultivation.
When Cui Muzhi returned home, he informed Mrs. Cui about the greenhouse. Mrs. Cui immediately asked excitedly, "It can be planted all year round, so can we grow medicinal herbs?"
The medicinal materials in Xiaoyao City have always been in short supply. If medicinal materials can be grown all year round, this is an endless way to make money.
Cui Muzhi said: "Mother can visit the greenhouse the day after tomorrow and ask Uncle Zhao, cucumbers, cabbage and strawberries can be grown, as well as medicinal materials."
Mrs. Cui nodded happily, "Okay, mother, go and have a look."
In addition to them, there are many big households who have signed up.
One hundred and twenty taels is not a lot of money for them, but, following the trend of the imperial court, maybe they can make a lot of money like cultivating pearls, growing mushrooms, building workshops, and opening supermarkets.
The opportunity that was missed before must be seized firmly now.
It was snowing all over the sky outside, and the village chief Zhao led them into the greenhouse, and the vibrant greenhouse immediately caught their sight.
Everyone saw all kinds of fruits and vegetables, picked them all the way, and ate them all the way.
Zhao Erwa took a small notebook and calculated in detail the input of each vegetable and fruit, the basic cost, labor, the profit that can be earned now, and the profit that will be reduced after the market is saturated in the future.
After getting the estimated average profit, Zhao Erwa's eyes were straight, and she said to Zhao's mother very firmly: "Mother, I want to be the biggest vegetable wholesaler!"
