After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 309 Food Drying Factory

In mid-July, Sunshine Rose grapes enter the color change period, which is also the critical period for adding sugar and color. First add acid, then add sugar, then add color, and finally add aroma;

By early August, the fruits are fully ripe and ready to be picked.

Chen Yueyi and Zhao Fang have already started preparing for the sales of Sunshine Rose grapes.

Shen Qiuqiu left this matter entirely to them;

She herself was not idle, and took the time to go to other places to inspect the "golden vegetables" export project.

During her last trip, she ate a golden dish called kimchi at a Korean restaurant on the cruise ship. It had a very special texture and was very delicious;

Later I learned that the so-called "golden vegetable" turned out to be sweet potato stems that are common in rural areas.

Basically no one eats sweet potato stalks in China, they are all used to feed pigs, but they are very popular abroad and many people love to eat them.

Shen Qiuqiu also found out after consulting relevant information that sweet potato stems have rich nutritional value and health effects, and also have certain anti-cancer effects;

In Europe and the United States, sweet potato stems are known as "longevity food", and sweet potato leaves are also known as the "Queen of Vegetables".

Sweet potato stems and leaves are very popular in Europe, America, Japan, Korea and other countries for their rich nutritional value and unique taste;

According to the current export market, the price of a pound of dried sweet potato stems is about 80 yuan.

Qinghe Village has planted more than 300 acres of chestnut and sweet potatoes this year, and some villagers have planted local sweet potatoes to feed pigs;

All together, there should be more than 600 acres;

These more than 600 acres of sweet potatoes can harvest a lot of sweet potato stems and leaves.

Shen Qiuqiu took a fancy to the business opportunity of exporting sweet potato stems and planned to build a food drying factory to process sweet potato leaves and sweet potato stems and then package them for export to realize additional income from sweet potatoes.

During this field trip, Shen Qiuqiu visited several import and export trading companies to learn about the qualifications required for exporting sweet potato stems and related information and channels. She also visited the production workshop of a food drying factory and benefited a lot.

After returning from the inspection, Shen Qiuqiu became more confident in establishing a food drying factory;

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen both expressed their support for this;

Although the old couple has little education and does not understand the concept of running a factory, they have always supported their granddaughter's career unconditionally.

My family has recently bought and built a new house, and has nine employees;

Grandpa Shen was worried that his granddaughter would not have enough money, so he also gave Shen Qiuqiu his bankbook. There was a deposit of more than 300,000 yuan in it, which was the entire savings of the old couple.

In order to make her grandfather feel better, Shen Qiuqiu accepted the passbook, but had no intention of using the money;

She still has enough money on hand to make a living, but if she can't, she can still get a loan from the bank.

Shen Qiuqiu is a man of action. Once he decides something, he must do it immediately.

If you want to set up a factory in a village, you must first solve the land problem;

Unlike homestead land, which can be bought and sold directly, industrial land must be applied to the government department.

Shen Qiuqiu compiled the "Feasibility Analysis Report on Sweet Potato Stems Processing Project" and the "Report on the Establishment of a Food Drying Plant" and other materials and submitted them to relevant departments.

The town's leadership team held a special meeting to study Shen Qiuqiu's project, and even went to Qinghe Village for an on-site inspection;

Shen Qiuqiu took them to visit more than 600 acres of sweet potatoes grown in the village, and introduced to them in detail the prospects for export and sales of sweet potato stems.

When the leaders arrived at Shen Qiuqiu's house, Grandma Shen also brought out a plate of sweet potato stem pickles she made for the leaders to taste;

When I went on a trip last time, the old lady ate this food and learned to make it when she came back. It tasted pretty good.

The town leader took a bite and said with a smile: "I didn't expect sweet potato stalks to be made into pickles and taste quite good. No wonder they can be exported abroad." "That's right." Grandma Shen grinned, "They call this ' The golden vegetable kimchi is very expensive. Such a small dish costs more than 100 yuan. I thought at that time, isn't this what we use to feed pigs in rural areas? What's so strange about it? Just be a baby."

The old lady's words made everyone present laugh.

On the way back after the inspection, several leaders talked about what they had just seen in Qinghe Village in the car.

"I haven't been to Qinghe Village for a few days. The scenery of the village has changed a lot."

"Yes, there are more young people in the village, and there are more smiles on the faces of the villagers."

"Shen Qiuqiu is a good young man. He has ideas and dares to think and act. This sweet potato stem export project has great potential."

"Rural revitalization still depends on these young people."

"I have paid attention to this young man Shen Qiuqiu. Her cooperative is doing well. I heard that this year she signed a multi-million planting contract with the villagers. If the project goes well, Qinghe Village should be able to take off the label of a poor village."

"Well, we have to give strong support to her food drying plant project; the establishment of a food drying plant in Qinghe Village can solve the employment problem of some villagers, and the processing and selling of sweet potato stems can also bring certain economic benefits to the villagers. , thereby improving the living conditions of villagers and embarking on the road to get rid of poverty and become rich.”

"I am also very optimistic about the prospects of this project. We can use Qinghe Village as a pilot project. If it succeeds, it can be promoted throughout the town or even the county in the future to improve agricultural efficiency and increase farmers' income."

The leaders chatted with each other;

The conversation was full of affirmation of Shen Qiuqiu and his emphasis on the project of processing and exporting sweet potato stems.

After returning to the office, the leaders held a brief meeting to discuss the matter.

Shen Qiuqiu waited for a few days, and the relevant approval documents came out quickly.

This is just the first step, there are many tedious processes to follow;

It is necessary to go through the formalities such as project establishment, planning, and environmental protection permits with the construction department, environmental protection bureau, etc., and pay various approval fees...

Because of the leadership's attention and attention, the approval procedures for each unit and department were very fast, with green lights all the way;

It took about ten days for Shen Qiuqiu to complete all the procedures;

After paying a land transfer fee of 4.8 yuan, we obtained a -acre piece of land in Qinghe Village.

During this period, Shen Qiuqiu also went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license and registered the Qinghe Fresh Food Drying Factory.

The factory is located in the southernmost part of Qinghe Village, which is still a wasteland;

Far away from the center of the village, but not desolate.

Shen Qiuqiu took the time to go through the construction approval procedures;

Because she didn’t want to miss this year’s sweet potato season, Shen Qiuqiu chose a steel structure factory that was convenient, fast and had a short construction period.

Steel structure factory buildings are very common in industrial parks. They are characterized by short construction periods, high strength, and good stability; they can be put into production quickly and with high quality.

The construction period of a 500-square-meter factory only takes about half a month, and the labor and materials are paid for 200,000 yuan.

While building the factory, Shen Qiuqiu also urgently purchased a batch of production equipment, storage equipment and disinfection equipment needed for food drying;

In addition, there are also relevant documents that need to be processed for personnel recruitment, production and sales...

Shen Qiuqiu was as busy as a spinning top.
