Chapter 772 768. Thirteen thousand!
"Dig potatoes!"
Old man Qin returned to the village and shouted.
The whole Xiaoqinzhuang was in an uproar.
The machines are ready, just waiting for Luo Yihang and the company representatives to come and watch the harvest.
The villagers were delighted and pushed out small tractors from their homes and hung potato harvest pendants on them.
There are only terraces here, not in large plots, so large agricultural machinery cannot be used.
The younger ones could only dig the potatoes out of the soil, and others followed behind to pick them up.
It’s the same process as Luo Yihang’s harvesting in the greenhouse.
It is easy in the Kubuqi Desert. The potatoes are dug out with a large harvester, the soil is removed by a vibrating sieve, and then the potatoes are directly collected along a conveyor belt into a truck running parallel to the side. It is fully automatic.
The little machine isn't bad either.
Under the organization of Old Man Qin, eight villagers pushed eight tractors, each responsible for a piece of land, and drove into the fields with the ignition on.
Turn the potatoes from the soil to the surface one by one, starting from the bottom up.
After the tractor turned over two ridges.
The remaining men, women, young and old in the village all joined in the battle.
I got a woven bag from the village committee and went into the fields to pick potatoes.
After picking up the first few ridges, the tractor had already driven far up the mountain.
Old Man Qin once again gave instructions for allocating manpower.
Women and children who are weak pick up the fruits in the fields.
The young and strong ones are responsible for moving things to the roadside.
The elderly people in the village drive tractors, electric tricycles and various vehicles to transport the goods to the village committee warehouse.
Several people were also arranged in the warehouse to be responsible for unloading, weighing and stacking.
An assembly line is running smoothly.
It's just that there are too many potatoes in the field.
Just for the few acres of fields at the foot of the mountain, there were more than two hundred people, young and old, who had to squat on the ground to pick up potatoes and put them into bags.
A bag can hold 50 kilograms and can be filled in just a few steps.
The filled bags are placed directly in the fields, and the rows of woven bags are almost pasted together.
The other strong men who were in charge of carrying the goods were moving around the fields with a bag in each hand.
The vehicles transporting goods on the roadside also never stop.
There are at least three or four hundred villagers busy in Xiaoqinzhuang.
But the progress seems a bit slow...
Luo Yihang found Old Man Qin and asked, "Uncle Qin, according to our previous experience, how many potatoes can one person harvest in a day?"
Old man Qin held up a finger and said, "We are all experienced in this village. A strong laborer can harvest one mu of rice in one day. But before, one mu of rice only produced 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms, and 4,500 kilograms at best. This time, the harvest will definitely not be that fast."
A strong laborer can harvest three to four thousand kilograms a day, but a light laborer, such as a woman or a child, certainly cannot harvest that much.
The yield per mu of Qiuyan 9 was previously measured to be 12,000. Judging from the results today, it is likely to exceed 13,000.
In other words, it takes three strong laborers a day to harvest one acre of land.
There are six hundred acres here.
According to the villagers, it would take a week to pick potatoes.
It’s been a bit long.
"Did we collect them this way before?" Luo Yihang asked again.
Old man Qin waved his hands and said, "In the past, each family harvested their own crops, and sold what they harvested, and the money was settled after the harvest. This year, we planted the same crops, and harvested them together. We will record the number of fields of each family and divide the money later."
After answering, Luo Yihang just smiled but had no other expression.
Old Man Qin understood that Luo Yihang was not asking about this. After thinking about it, he reacted, "Yes, yes, this year is different. This year, the guests are waiting, and we can't take our time to collect them."
After figuring it out, go find Director Zhou immediately and ask for people from the nearby villages.
Luo Yihang also found the company representatives and explained the situation to them. They agreed and asked them to collect and transport the products as soon as possible. They were also waiting for the trial production to test the process and calculate the final cost.
Besides, the harvest in Kubuqi will be ready in a few days, so we have to hurry over there as well.
Everyone was familiar with the place, and with the help of Director Zhou's coordination, in the afternoon, folks from all over the country came, and suddenly there were thousands of people gathered in Xiaoqinzhuang.
Villagers nearby have long wanted to come and see with their own eyes what this mysterious big potato looks like and how high its yield can be.
As a result, when they saw the potatoes all over the ground, they were all a little confused. This was too exaggerated. The pits, valleys, mountains and plains were all full of potatoes, and they were all so big.
An old master took a look and exclaimed: "The yield per mu is at least 10,000 catties."
Old man Qin curled his lips and said, "It's too little, I said too little, I harvested thirty acres this morning, and the average yield per acre is 13,700!"
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked back to the village committee with an arrogant look on his face.
Someone is watching here.
"Fuck him!" the old master cursed excitedly, "Thirteen thousand!"
The news of the production volume spread quickly, and every one of the villagers in the surrounding area felt dizzy and upset, and wanted to say something, "More than 13,000 kilograms, how much will it sell for..."
When he thought that it was very likely that his family would be able to grow this variety in the future, his face turned red with excitement and his whole body was full of energy.
Working hard...
-
As for how much it can be sold for?
The discussion was going on in the village committee.
When the villagers arrived.
People from Fangshan County’s agriculture department, industrial and commercial department, and investment promotion department also came.
In addition, there is Director Zhou from the Poverty Alleviation Office and Old Man Qin from Xiaoqinzhuang.
Formal price negotiations will be conducted with representatives of various companies.
Originally, they wanted to call Qin Qiuyan, but Qin Qiuyan was nailed to the field and refused to come.
The boss is here and we have to listen to him.
Alas, Luo Yihang was born to do this job.
Be the host in the center.
We now know that the average yield per mu of the first thirty mu is 13,700 kilograms, and the difference between each mu is within 1,000 kilograms.
It has been confirmed that the per-acre yield of Qiuyan 9 in Fangshan County, Luliang Mountains is similar to the estimated level, with a slight increase.
So what we are discussing this time is not just the issue of more than 8 million kilograms of potatoes.
However, we have to talk about the price of potatoes first.
The representative of COFCO Technology directly took out a list of purchase prices for autumn potatoes from various regions.
And they stated that this was not their statistics, but market statistics done by the industrial and commercial department.
Fangshan County also confirmed it after reviewing it.
Luo Yihang was curious and took it to take a look.
The price of potatoes this year is not very good. The highest is in Hebei, with the main producing areas charging 0.6 to 0.64 yuan per pound.
The fluctuation in Shanxi is huge, with the lowest being 4.7 cents and the highest being 6.8 cents, and 6.8 cents happens to be in Fangshan County.
Looking at Inner Mongolia, it’s so miserable. The rent in Ulanqab is only 3.4 cents, and the highest is 50 cents. In Kubuqi, it’s only 40 cents.
This price is the most common staple potato variety, and does not include high-priced potatoes with unique flavors.
After confirming the market price.
The company representative said very generously that for this acquisition, they would not care about the market fluctuations caused by high production, or even the grade and quality.
Just follow the standard market price, 68 cents per pound, full amount!
This price is released.
Old Man Qin from Xiaoqin Village was about to get angry on the spot...
