Chapter 355 355 Kudzu Root Powder
Chapter 355 355. Kudzu powder
It's not that Song Tan doesn't understand, he just thinks that this is the only piece of mountain land left by Zhang Wang's family, and maybe he wants to keep it as a support.
However, with the more than 30 acres of sloping land in Zhang Wang's family, her inner and outer circles totaled almost 280 acres!
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little excited!
And Zhu Jun was so sure that she didn't delay. She simply asked directly when Zhang Wang's family came up the mountain to help pick peaches:
"Uncle Zhang, I plan to rent more mountain land next year. Your mountain is next to my house. Do you want to rent a piece of it to me?"
"We will listen to the village's opinion on the rent and it will be easy to negotiate."
The Zhang Wang family was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation: "Okay! I'll plant it for you! How much work can I do as a lame person! But..."
He looked hesitantly at the lush green mountains next door, and felt a little reluctant to let go:
"When will I rent it? Can it be early next year? I still have kudzu growing on the mountain. I want to dig them up and dry some kudzu powder in the winter..."
Every household in the village has this mountainous land, but most people don't even make much use of it. At most, you can go up there and cut some firewood in winter, or pick a few good beams from when you were building a house in the past...
It’s not that they lack courage and vision, but sometimes poverty is really a shackles.
Because I am poor, I cannot afford the risk of losing money. Playing it safe is far better than taking risks.
Because I am poor, I cannot risk my family’s life and my children’s education fees.
The cost of trial and error for farmers is too precious. So precious that they would rather endure hardship and hardship without changing.
Therefore, these mountains remain green and idle day after day.
The hillside in front of Zhang Wang's house is quite big, but for him it's really useless.
If it hadn't been for the fact that they accidentally dug out kudzu roots from the mountain a few years ago and made some money by washing, beating and drying them, the old couple would not know how long they would have left it idle.
As for kudzu, if there is no mechanical assistance, it will all depend on the strength of a handful. Not only is it tiring to make, but it cannot be sold at a high price on a small scale.
Young people can even help publicize it online, but honest people like the Zhang Wang family will just take it to the town and wait for someone to collect it.
This kind of pure kudzu root powder is usually sold by vendors for 80 to 100 per catty.
It's his turn to sell, which is about 30-40. Occasionally, a relative or friend will buy a pack by the way.
Unfortunately, they were both thin-skinned, so it was difficult to ask for a high price. In the end, they were happy to get 50 yuan.
Because of this, they didn't go out of their way to plant the wild kudzu on the mountain. They just dug it out every year and piled it on thickly with some fertilizer collected here. That was enough.
Now that his wife is gone and he has no plans to have children anymore, there is no use leaving such a big mountain alone.
Zhang Wang's family was actually happy that Song Tan wanted to rent it, but he fertilized the kudzu last year and saw that it produced many more kudzu this year.
Dig now. The kudzu vines are strong and the leaves are shiny. It’s not time yet.
Waiting for Song Tan to clear the mountainous area in spring before digging, it would be a waste of these kudzu roots.
Hence this question.
"Okay!"
Song Tan was also very happy: "But Uncle Zhang, don't dig by yourself in winter. How long will it take to dig on such a big mountain?"
"I'll let the guy driving the excavator dig it out when the time comes, and you can take your time to clean it up."
There are too many weeds, vines, shrubs, and small trees on the mountain. In comparison, kudzu is difficult to grow. Without an excavator, there is no way to deal with the mountain later.
Zhang Wang’s family rejoiced:
"Okay, if you have time, you can start clearing the kudzu and mountains in the autumn, so as not to be too busy in the spring."
That's true.
If we really negotiate a contract with the village, every second will count in the spring next year.
Song Tan nodded readily: "Okay."
After thinking for a while, she then said: "Uncle Zhang, I think the quality of your kudzu is good. When you dig the kudzu to make kudzu powder, why don't I ask Qiao Qiao to go live broadcast and help you bring some goods."
"But this price is based on the market price, and it may be a little more favorable. There is no way to put my label on it."
Zhang Wang’s family is overjoyed!
At this moment, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Then he walked this way carrying the basket one by one, and said excitedly:
"I checked Douyin to see people selling goods on it. The sales are very popular. I don't have the ability... I still have more than ten kilograms of kudzu powder at home. I might as well take it to your house and try it first! Then you can Pricing!”
At the same time, he sighed: "Kudzu root is good to drink. It nourishes yin and reduces internal heat. It is suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Song Tan knew.
The seventh cousin came back for a walk in the mountains one day and praised the growth of the kudzu root. He told Qiao Qiao that kudzu root can relieve hangover, cure throat, moisturize dryness and prevent cancer...
Qiao Qiao memorized it and summarized it, and everyone heard it.
Song Tan looked at Zhang Wang's family's uneasiness and the way they looked at her eagerly. She originally thought it was unnecessary.
But at this moment, something moved in her heart, and she simply nodded in agreement:
"Okay, our Qiao Qiao now has a fan base, so we should be able to bring goods. Uncle Zhang, can you just use these ten kilograms of kudzu powder as promotion fees for Qiao Qiao? We will discuss the specific selling price at that time."
"Okay, okay!"
At this moment, the dark and thin faces of Zhang Wang's family seemed to reflect the red brilliance of the sun.
When going down the mountain, Zhu Jun asked Song Tan with a smile:
"You asked Qiao Qiao to promote Zhang Wang's products. If the quality of his products is average, will it affect your own reputation?"
"No." Song Tan shook his head: "When the time comes, I will indicate in the live broadcast room that this is ordinary kudzu root powder, not ours. Fans can buy some if they want to try it. If they don't want to, we won't force them."
However, based on her analysis of the current market, this kind of live broadcast of digging kudzu roots and making kudzu root powder for everyone to see is more trustworthy.
Besides, what Zhang Wang's family can produce here is not so much that it can't be sold, so it should be appropriate.
She just looked at the lush mountains and forests and the scattered fields at the foot of the mountain, and sighed at this moment.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Jun looked at her curiously.
Song Tan shook his head: "I just suddenly understand you a little bit."
Nowadays, everyone shouts slogans, and Zhu Jun often talks about it.
But what is rural development?
Is it to make the firewood stacks in the village more neat and the houses more beautiful, so that every household no longer has to go to the fields, or to build roads to the doorstep?
For the elderly people left behind in the village, none of them are.
What they want is a real change in life and hope for the future.
Zhu Jun also turned his head to look at her, and suddenly patted her shoulder like an old-fashioned cadre, and then said seriously:
"Do a good job."
"You know, there will be a wave of returning home during the Spring Festival. Where will the labor force be next year, and whether the village can retain people depends on your performance this year."
I will go back to my hometown tomorrow, and I will try to write more today...
Regarding the mountain, Tan Tan 20 (not counting his own) + Inner Circle 80 + Zhang Family 30, Outer Circle about 150, adding up to nearly 300, not small. There will be some fields to connect...
I know that the place seems small to everyone, but the premise is that the village has lost young and strong people, and the mountains cannot use machines and rely on manpower. Tan Tan's family does not have much money...
So it is a steady and steady approach.
Don't worry, we will slowly make money and fill it up slowly. You can't get fat in one bite. Tan Tan tossed a lot in the early stage, purely to eat well. There is no rush in the later stage.
