Chapter 65 Water Spinach

It's National Day.

During the National Day Golden Week, the old tile house wants a lot of rice field eels.

It’s not that the restaurant has many customers, the main consumption of these eels is wedding banquets.On the biggest day, Chen Mo sent 230 kilograms of eels to Lao Wafang at 120 yuan per kilogram, which is 2.76 yuan a day.

During the National Day, a total of more than 800 kilograms of eels were caught, earning 10 yuan.

Later, using ground cages, we could still catch dozens of kilograms of eels every day, and sold them all to Lao Wafang.

The days passed day by day, and it was the middle of the month.

In the orchard, the navel oranges are already very big, and the peel is still green, not yellowing.

At this time, some early navel oranges are already on the market.

Chen Mo picked a navel orange and cut it open. The flesh inside was light yellow, sour and sweet.

These navel oranges generally weigh more than 200 grams, and there is not much water in the pulp. When they are fully mature, they should still gain a few dozen grams.

In the morning, while collecting the duckweeds, my father said: "I bought the fruit bag."

"I said before that I don't wear bags." Chen Mo said.

There are sixty or seventy fruits from one tree, and it is too troublesome to put them all in bags.

"You don't want to do these things. Your mother has already contacted good people."

"How much does labor cost per day?"

"120 yuan." Dad Chen said.

Now is the slack season, and the weather is not very hot.The idle people in the village are still willing to come out and earn this 100 yuan.

With changes in temperature, differences in labor intensity, and different places, labor prices vary greatly.

Zhang Cheng is still planting vegetables there, and now the migrant workers he hires cost 130 yuan a day.

Chen Mo roughly calculated, 120 yuan a day, to cover all the fruit trees with bags, some money.

Chen Mo has never done any of this work, and he doesn't know how many fruits a worker can bag in a day.It is said on the Internet that one person can put on about 3000 bags a day.

But the people invited are all novices, and it is enough for one person to set more than 1000 bags a day.

Chen Mo didn't care about bagging the fruit. After feeding the fish, Chen Mo sent the eel to Lao Wafang for 45 kilograms and more than 5000 yuan.

No more picking up fungi now.

There are also mushrooms in the mountains, mainly pine mushrooms. Pine mushrooms are cheap and difficult to pick up. Before the National Day, Chen Mo and the others stopped picking up mushrooms.

Now I just catch and sell eels.

There are 100 greenhouses in Kangyuan Farm, and the rent is 8 yuan. After that, we will buy seeds, fertilizers, and hire workers...

The total investment of 100 greenhouses of spinach is about 17 yuan.The main reason is the high labor cost.

In order to keep up with the progress, Chen Mo had high temperatures during the period of plowing and sowing, which meant high labor costs.After all, the investment per mu is close to 3000 yuan.

The money spent before has now been earned back. There are now 106 million in Chen Mo's account.

After sending the rice field eels back, at the farm, Master Huang was watering the water spinach.

There are 100 greenhouses, and Master Huang manages them by himself in normal time.The growth period of water spinach is mainly to prevent insects, fertilize and water.

The fertilizer is water-soluble fertilizer, fertilization and watering are carried out at the same time.

Today is the 17th, which means that the earliest water spinach planted in the hole is 24 days away from today.

The water spinach that is fertilized now is the water spinach that was first planted.

It takes about 35-45 days for hole-planted water spinach from planting to harvesting.

Chen Mo's water spinach used Lingquan, and the land was mixed with some spatial organic soil, and it grew very well.The height of the seedlings is 15-20 cm.

In fact, you can pick at a height of 20 centimeters, but to achieve good results, it is best to wait until 25-30 centimeters.At that time, the whole batch can be harvested.

"Brother." Zhou Li walked over.

"Oh." Chen Mo shouted with a smile.

Zhou Li, Chen Mo's younger brother and sister, is also Zhang Cheng's wife.

"Didn't go to work today?" Chen Mo said.

"I resigned." Zhou Li said: "Zhang Cheng is building a greenhouse at home, and I will come back to help. Now I hire a worker, and the monthly expenditure is higher than my salary."

Chen Mo smiled and said: "If the greenhouse is completed, it should be better than working part-time."

Zhang Cheng also came over: "Brother."

Chen Mo nodded: "What are you doing here?"

"Can't I come over?" Zhang Cheng said: "Zhou Li wanted to eat water spinach. Just when she said she would come over and pick some, you came over. I'm afraid she would be embarrassed when she saw you coming over."

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Zhou Li said, "I want to eat water spinach, why don't you let me pick it?"

Chen Mo smiled: "The two greenhouses in front have just fertilized, go to the greenhouse behind to pick."

Zhou Li smiled and nodded: "I think these water spinach are so tender, they must be delicious."

"Brother." Zhang Cheng shouted.

"What?"

"Lend me 10 yuan." Zhang Chengdao: "I'll pay you back when the vegetables are sold."

"10 yuan, what will it be used for?"

"My greenhouse over there has cost 23 yuan. All the money I spent picking up mushrooms this year was invested in it. My parents also gave me some money. The greenhouse is not finished yet, and I still have 1 yuan on hand. That's a lot of money." Zhang Cheng said: "In the future, we will pay for housing loans, car loans, and workers' wages."

"I'll transfer it to you. Your vegetables have started to be sold. Pay me back."

"it is good."

Chen Mo transferred 10 yuan to Zhang Cheng: "Why did you spend more than 20 yuan, and you didn't spend any money on those greenhouses?"

"I gave you money." Zhang Cheng said: "Although he is my father, I can't get the benefits in vain. I still gave him 8 yuan."

Chen Mo said 'hmm': "In that case, your investment there is a bit big."

"100 greenhouses, 60 acres, should be able to earn back the capital." Zhang Cheng said.

"Manage it well. Ask Master Huang if you don't understand..."

Zhang Cheng looked at Master Huang next to him, and Master Huang also looked over.

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Most of the work on my side is arranged by Master Huang. Otherwise, if there are a hundred greenhouses, I'm afraid I will be caught blind."

Master Huang turned off the shower faucet and said, "The vegetables Mr. Zhang grows are too complicated. If he wants to do a little of everything, he will have too many things to do."

"Various vegetables, share the risk. If one vegetable cannot be sold at a high price, other vegetables will also be expensive... By the way, how much does water spinach cost per kilogram now?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Wholesale price?"

"Correct."

"In the wholesale market, it's about 1 yuan. If you come here to collect it, it's about... about [-] cents." Chen Mo said.

The current selling price of water spinach in the vegetable market is 2 yuan per catty.Prices in Qingshan Town...

Prices in cities are probably higher.

Of course, the price of water spinach still depends on the quality.The ones with higher quality are more expensive.

Vegetables are of high quality, and whether they can be sold at a high price depends on the channel.

"With 7 cents, you can still make money?" Zhang Cheng said.

"I don't know the exact price either." Chen Mo shrugged: "We'll see when the time comes."

Water spinach is a very cheap vegetable.

Moreover, the current temperature is very suitable for the growth of water spinach, and water spinach that is not produced in greenhouses can be produced in large quantities.After November, the price of water spinach will go up, especially in winter...
