Chapter 113 Harvest Season (please recommend)
The acquisition and processing of matsutake were directly handed over to Xu Siwen. As the planner to promote this business plan, Mu Shanhe took Zhao Zhicheng and others back to the farm in Matiling.

Although Xu Siwen was a little reluctant to leave Mu Shanhe, Mu Shanhe ignored him at all.The reason is simple. Many crops planted earlier are now in harvest season.As a farmer, how can I be absent at this time?
When he returned to the farm and saw Zhu Jinghao, who was in charge of farm affairs, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said, "How was it? Nothing happened recently, right?"

"It's nothing! It's just that the watermelons in our field are almost ripe. There are so many of them, what should we do?"

"That's it?"

"Yes! I did some calculations before, and I am afraid that our few acres of watermelon land can produce more than 2 kilograms of watermelon. With so many watermelons, we will definitely not be able to eat them all. The melons are almost ripe, so we have to find a way to sell them. Drop it?"

"Don't worry! Our watermelons are of good quality. It won't be a problem to find a few buyers to consume them."

Knowing that the planted watermelons were ripe, Mu Shanhe took Zhao Zhicheng and others directly to the watermelon field.Looking at the round watermelons in the field, all weighing more than ten kilograms, Mu Shanhe felt happy.

I picked a few ripe watermelons, took them back to the farm and soaked them in cold water before cutting them into pieces and tasting them.After taking a bite, the juice overflowed. Mu Shanhe said with great satisfaction: "This melon is good, with enough water and good sweetness."

"Yeah! This melon is really good. It should fetch a good price."

"The price of watermelons is not high now, but once the watermelons are planted, the income from one acre of watermelon land should be more than the income from growing grain. Our watermelons do not use chemical fertilizers, but only farmyard manure, so the sweetness is more palatable." Some."

After tasting the planted watermelons with everyone, Mu Shanhe immediately said: "Old Zhao, tomorrow we will pick a thousand kilograms of watermelons, and the town will send five hundred kilograms. Other departments that deal with it will give some, and let them taste the taste of our watermelons. .

In addition, at the forest farm, you can also pick some and send them over, as long as the quantity does not exceed [-] kilograms.If they want to buy it later, it will be at least [-] cents per catty.There are not many watermelons on the market now, and the price is not expensive. "

"Okay, Master Mu!"

A 5-jin watermelon can only be sold for 2 yuan at most.The few acres of watermelon fields planted in Mushanhe can harvest more than [-] kilograms of watermelon at most.This means that the income from planting watermelons can earn up to [-] yuan.

If labor and other expenses are excluded, the return from growing watermelons is not high.But for Mu Shanhe, he will also keep some of these watermelons.Waiting until winter, you can have a bite of fresh watermelon, and the taste will be so pleasant.

If others think it is too expensive, Mu Shanhe would rather store all the watermelons in the Mountain God Space.In this day and age, off-season vegetables and fruits have not yet been widely promoted, and eating watermelon in winter is basically a luxury.

In addition to watermelons being put on the market, soybeans, corn and rice are also being harvested.Mu Shanhe, who had seen the quality of his own crops, directly asked Zhao Zhicheng to buy grain from outside and transport it to the grain depot as public grain.

Regarding this approach, Zhao Zhicheng was somewhat puzzled and said: "Mr. Mu, does our farm use so much grain?"

“The soybeans and corns we grow alone may not be enough for us to consume in a year. However, all the food grown on the farm is used as our rations, and all the food used to raise livestock is purchased and stored.

As for why you do this, you will understand later.Didn’t you say before that our rice yield is somewhat low?When the rice is harvested and you cook a meal, you will surely understand the reason. "

Mushanhe, who came from a later generation, knew very well that when planting pollution-free crops, the yields were indeed not as high as those using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.But the quality and taste of the food grown in this way are better than those grown using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

At present, the food grown on the farm cannot be sold at a high price for the time being.So Mu Shanhe also thought about using it as self-feeding food for the farm.The extra rice left over is processed into rice and given away to others.

When someone tastes the rice grown on the Matiling Farm, the quality and taste are significantly better than the rice purchased from outside, then the value of the farm's rice will naturally continue to increase.It would be a pity to hand over such high-quality rice to the public grain.

On the other hand, corn and soybeans are consumed in large quantities by farms every year.For Zhao Zhicheng and others, after corn is ground into flour, it can also be eaten as a staple food.Soybeans also have many uses.When the watermelons in the field began to mature in large quantities, Mu Shanhe personally directed the picking of the first batch.After a few calls were made, the leaders who had good relations with the farm were naturally very happy.

Even though there are not many watermelons, it is really not easy for many people to eat fresh fruit.When Zhao Zhicheng drove and delivered the watermelon, everyone's favorable impression of Mu Shanhe rose to another level.

After tasting the watermelon, many leaders praised it: "This watermelon tastes great!"

"Yes! The taste is very good and it is very moist."

"How about we purchase a batch? Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and we will distribute it as welfare then, how about that?"

"Sure! It's just that the price seems a bit expensive!"

"How much is a catty?"

"Fifty cents! However, if watermelons are of this quality, they are not expensive."

"That's okay! I heard that they didn't plant a lot of watermelons this year. If we don't start quickly, the guys at the forestry farm might get it wrong. Buy five thousand kilograms first, which should be enough for us to receive benefits!"

As the town took the lead in placing the order, five thousand kilograms of watermelons were quickly delivered.When Mu Shanhe received the follow-up call, he could only say helplessly: "Sorry! All the remaining watermelons in the field have been sold."

"Ah! Why so fast? Xiaomu, didn't you say there are more than 2 kilograms of watermelon?"

"Boss, the forest farm asked for [-] jins, and the town asked for [-] jins. There is really not much left."

I was worried that there were too many watermelons to sell, but in less than a day, more than 2 kilograms of watermelons were not enough to sell.The most important thing is that Mu Shanhe reserved nearly two thousand kilograms of watermelon, and also left some for the farm employees to use as dessert.

The total money sold was about 1 yuan. Zhao Zhicheng and others were also very happy and said: "Mr. Mu, our farm finally has its first income. If other people run a farm like you, they won't be able to afford the loss at all!"

"It's okay! When I start this farm, I don't expect it to make money. As long as I can protect my capital, I'll be satisfied. Don't worry, when we raise more animals and store more medicinal wines in the future, we can eventually make back the money."

Everyone knows that Mu Shanhe does not rely on the farm to make money.This farm is mostly used to house Zhao Zhicheng and others.If we really want them to work for half a year and take a break for half a year, I'm afraid they will feel too bored.

When all the crops grown on the farm were dried and stored in the warehouse, Mu Shanhe felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the warehouse full of food.The rice grown on the farm actually tastes better than the rice I bought before.

Confirming that the quality of the rice was very good, Mu Shanhe also asked Zhao Zhicheng and others to pack all the processed rice into ten kilogram bags.The rice packaging bags are all labeled with the label 'Matiling'.

In addition to using the first batch of rice grown as food for the farm, Mushanhe packaged the rest and gave it away.Even Qin Kaixuan in the provincial capital quickly received five bags of rice and two bags of dried matsutake mushrooms in the mail.

Xu Siwen, who took a break from his busy schedule and returned to the farm, tasted the rice himself and quickly asked for [-] bags to give away.In this regard, Mushanhe is also very generous and gives away everything for free without charging a penny.

But Xu Siwen knows that free things these days are often the most expensive!
