Chapter 46 Planting Rapeseed

When Zhang Guodong left Beizhuang Village, he saw that his uncle, father, fourth uncle and others were still waiting at the entrance of the village, and when Zhang Guodong came out, everyone surrounded him happily.

"Brother Guodong, how is it? Is there anyone in their village who bullies you? Our village is not afraid of him in Beizhuang Village. If you want to fight, you just have to fight with him." The children in Zhangjialing fought the most fiercely in the nearby villages, because the children above the third grade were all in Zhangjialing Primary School. When studying, children in Zhangjialing in their own village like to bully children from other villages most, and children of the same age in Beizhuang Village are not immune.

"Go...go...go...! You know how to fight all day long, what are you thinking? The matter has been resolved, and Beizhuang Village is willing to return all the fields that have been occupied over the years. This matter will pass from now on. The two villages are so far apart. In the near future, try to create as few conflicts as possible." Zhang Guodong looked at the contentious young men in the village and comforted him.

"As long as you have nothing to do, Beizhuang Village's words are so strong, why did it not be disputed so quickly, and the land that was occupied before was returned. How did you do it." Zhang Chengdong, the fourth uncle, asked with a look of disbelief.

"Beizhuang Village did promise to return all the arable land, and the head of their village will go to your uncle's house to apologize in person! As for how to persuade them, let's talk while walking."

Surrounded by dozens of people, Zhang Guodong walked towards his village. On the way, Zhang Guodong made his promise to exchange rapeseed for two.

"Guodong, you can't joke about this matter. If you can't keep your promise and they will make a scene, it will be a big deal. Even the township government and the township leaders won't talk to you." Zhang Chengzhi looked at Zhang Guodong's kindness It is reminded that rapeseeds have never been grown in the western area of ​​Ganjing Township. Everyone can’t eat enough to eat, so who would plant that kind of thing, but they also know a little about rapeseeds. There are many people who grow rapeseeds around the county, but they don’t I heard that when someone harvests rapeseed, everyone grows it and extracts the oil to eat. Everyone buys oil at the grain and oil store.

"No, I can say this? Do you know how much a catty of pure hand-pressed rapeseed oil costs? It costs one yuan and six in the county seat, and it is even more expensive in the south of Kun County. The oil yield rate of our rapeseed here is generally 35%. As mentioned above, a catty of rapeseed is 5 cents and 6 cents excluding labor costs, and a catty of wheat is only [-] cents. At that time, whoever wants to open an oil pressing workshop in our village can easily earn thousands of yuan a year." Zhang Guodong said It was so easy, but the villagers were not excited at all. They didn't understand this thing, let alone how to extract rapeseed oil. As long as they knew that Zhang Guodong didn't suffer, they would be relieved.

"A few thousand yuan? I don't think anyone in our village can do this except your family! I don't worry if you can make money. We also have a lot of land beside the ditch. Why don't we call on the villagers to plant together?" Rapeseed?" Uncle Zhang Chengzhi asked.

"That would be great. It would be great if this kind of rapeseed can form a large scale. Our village can produce a symbolic product, which will also improve the reputation of our village. Not only should we appeal to our village, but also the neighboring villages can talk. We can talk about it, one catty of rapeseed is exchanged for two catties of wheat, and we will exchange as much as they want." Zhang Guodong already has some ideas in his mind about the wheat needed to exchange rapeseed next year.

Yongkang County grows winter rapeseeds, which are planted later than wheat and harvested earlier. Zhang Guodong told his father what he thought when he returned home.

"If you want to do it, do it according to your ideas! If this oil shop is really as profitable as you said, bring your second brother and Uncle Qibo with you, our store is enough, and we will have more things. People can't let it go."

Dad meant to plant all the 5 mu of land beside the ditch into rapeseed, but Zhang Guodong’s 20 mu of first-class land did not plan to grow wheat. The family’s food is enough for next year, and it will be convenient to pay for the public grain next year.

In the end, his father still did not promise Zhang Guodong to plant rapeseed on all the land. The two mu of mulberry trees in the first-class land can be dug up. This year, 5 mu of land will be planted with wheat and 15 mu of rapeseed.

Two days later, all the teams in Zhangjialing knew about the planting of rapeseed, and they also heard about the authenticity of the matter from Zhang Guodong. Many people said that this year, they will plant rapeseed on their farmland below the second-class level.

In mid-October, the lunar calendar has also entered September, and Ganjing Township has entered the sowing season everywhere. Many people are driving cattle to work hard in the fields, and occasionally tractors can be found plowing the fields.

"Dad, one of the main reasons why the output of many places in the south of Kun County is so much higher than ours is the fertilizer problem. The biological fertilizers used in our village are obviously not enough. The county has also sold chemical fertilizers in recent years. We still buy some chemical fertilizers. Let’s go!” Zhangjialing has never used industrial chemical fertilizers, and many farmers even say that urea and carbon ammonia are toxins, sow the fields to fatten crops, and the wheat produced in the end is poisoned, and people will suffer from diseases after eating them. This is all rural caused by people's ignorance of science.

"You decide on your own. You are now the captain of the second team. If you have anything to discuss with the team, you can do it yourself if you don't have any opinions." Zhang Chenglin completely let go and handed over the team's affairs. In the hands of his son, he sells farm tools and clothing at home these days, and rarely asks about the affairs of the team.

Zhang Guodong went around the team, but he didn't expect everyone to accept the use of chemical fertilizers very happily. This year, every family in the second team is in a good financial situation, and everyone spent more than 100 yuan on fertilizer purchases.

After counting the fertilizers used by each household, Zhang Guodong and his younger brother drove a tractor to the county chemical fertilizer station. Now a bag of urea is only 4 yuan, carbon and ammonia are 9 yuan, and a bag of urea and half a bag of carbon and ammonia per mu of wheat It was enough, Zhang Guodong pulled 5 bags three times, which was enough for the second team.

The follow-up situation in the countryside is particularly strong, especially when the first team and the second team are next to each other. When Zhang Guodong brought all the fertilizers back to his door and the whole second team was paid separately, the fourth uncle was driving a tractor and was about to go to the county town. The first team Some people want to buy fertilizer.

In the next few days, the sowing speed of Zhangjialing wheat was very fast. Tractors sowed the seeds and sprinkled them into the ground together with chemical fertilizers. In just four days and ten days, more than half of all the first-class fields in the east of Zhangjialing were planted with wheat, and most of the remaining part was The second team stayed behind to plant rapeseed.

Zhangjialing has become the most important topic in the west of Ganjing Township since this autumn. Many people go there to find tractors for 7 tractors to plow land and grow wheat. One mu of land is cultivated for 3 yuan, 5 yuan for planting, and 3 yuan for planting with fertilizer. It takes half a month At that time, the seven tractors earned thousands of dollars, and the two tractors of Leslie Cheung and Leslie Cheung even earned more than 4 yuan.

When the wheat was planted in the ground, the weather gradually became cooler, and Zhangjialing began to build roads again. Under the leadership of Zhangjialing, the second team led the way with a progress of ten meters every day. Under such intense labor, the villagers of the second team Not only were there no troubles, but everyone became more united.Every day, everyone counts how many times the tractor has been pulled today, and how much money they have to wait, and the second team is the first to enter Zhangjialing Village from the Guanlu intersection, and the land of the second team is also on the side of this road, which is no different from their own road. , so everyone worked very hard.

On this day, Zhang Guodong went to the field to take a look. The wheat in the field of the second team was not bad, especially the field wheat seedlings that used chemical fertilizers were obviously stronger. He felt that the weather had changed recently, and it was time to plant rapeseed. Zhang Guodong stopped the road construction work of the second team and ordered everyone to start planting rapeseed together.

It takes 40 catties of wheat seeds per mu of wheat to grow wheat, but only 8 catties is enough to plant rapeseed. It will be better if there is rain when rapeseeds emerge.

Beizhuang Village has been paying attention to Zhang Guodong's rapeseed planting. After learning that Zhangjialing's second team has started to move, the whole Beizhuang Village has also started to get busy. The land used to grow corn and sorghum last year has been planted with a new crop of rapeseed this year. Rapeseed is much easier to grow than wheat.

Team 80 and Team [-] in Zhangjialing also planted rapeseed on all the land beside the ditch. Team [-] lived in the mid-valley, and there were not many lands that could grow wheat. They actually planted more than [-]% of the land in the village. Rapeseed, so the fourth team actually planted more rapeseed than the other three teams.

It's November, and the weather is getting colder. People put away their summer clothes and put on autumn coats. Zhang Guodong's family has a new batch of autumn clothes. Many people from neighboring villages come to buy them. Selling more than a dozen items for 100 yuan can make half of the profit. Zhang Guodong will go to Chang'an City every month to replenish the goods. Recently, he has not done any antique business. Zhang Guodong's family has more and more cash.

On this day, Zhang Guodong just bought a piece of wool in the light industry market, all of which are the cheapest types, the price is between 2 yuan and 5 yuan. Rural people like to knit sweaters. In winter, women in the village sit together and chat together during slack hours. This year, Zhang Guodong sells good-looking and durable rubber soles, so there are fewer people pulling the soles, and more people knitting sweaters.

As soon as he asked the porter to carry the woolen package onto the tractor compartment, Zhang Guodong saw a new department store just opened opposite the light industry market, and it looked very high-end inside. He asked his second brother to look at the tractor in the parking lot, and Zhang Guodong walked in. This new department store.

The first thing that caught the eye when entering the door was a dazzling array of gold ornaments. Zhang Guodong looked around at the counter and calculated that he still had enough money in his pocket, so he planned to buy a bracelet for his mother.

My mother used to have a gold bracelet, which was kept hidden as a treasure. In 1978, when the grain harvest in Yongkang County was in short supply, the villagers went to Kun County in the south to beg for food. Zhang Chenglin was unwilling to go, and Hu Yuee sold her bracelet with the heart. , Zhang Guodong was just ten years old that year.

"Hi sir, may I help you?" A shopping guide wearing a cheongsam came over, making Zhang Guodong feel like he was back in the 21st century.

"I want to see a gold bracelet and necklace. How much is the gold price here?" Now the price of gold is about 53 yuan per gram. Zhang Guodong is also very familiar with the price of gold when he has shipped to Chang'an several times.

"Sir, the price of our Zhousheng gold jewelry is guaranteed to satisfy you. The current market price of gold is 83 yuan per gram. As long as you spend more than 500 yuan, you will get a 85% discount on the whole site. If you buy 1000 yuan, you can buy a gram of gold at only 8 yuan per gram. Now that China is reforming and opening up, currency depreciation is inevitable, and if you invest in gold, it is also a good choice.” The shopping guide speaks with a southern accent. This stall may be a branch of Mingzhu City in Chang'an, and ordinary people cannot afford such a shop.

"Let me look at a bracelet first! The price here is a bit high, let's talk about money later."

After a while, Zhang Guodong saw a pair of bracelets weighing about 80 grams, priced at 6400, and a necklace weighing more than 12 grams. Finally, he saw a pair of pearl earrings on the recommendation of a shopping guide.

"How much do you calculate for these?" Zhang Guodong asked, pointing to three things.

The shopping guide lady didn't underestimate Zhang Guodong because of the simple clothes she wore. Obviously, they were all professionally trained. They took a notebook and explained to Zhang Guodong while calculating.

"Your pair of bracelets is 6400 yuan, the necklace is 1020 yuan, and the earrings are 880 yuan. The total is 8300 yuan. After giving you a 75% discount, it will be 6640 yuan." It won't be less if you get your own commission.

"This price is expensive. Is 75% off your lowest price? Why don't you call your manager over? I really want to buy it today. The work I do has something to do with gold. What is the current international gold price?" I know too."

The shopping guide originally thought that he could make a lot of money today, but he didn't expect that the guy in the rustic clothes was also in the gold business, so even if the order was made in the store, he would earn some manual fees. It's a mess.

The beautiful shopping guide quickly went upstairs and called her manager over. The manager was also a beautiful woman who looked only a few years old, and she was rarely seen in Chang'an City wearing fashionable clothes.

"Hello, since you are also in the gold business, you are giving us face by coming to our store, 60 yuan is fine! You also know that this is already the lowest price!" The female manager said that I am The expression of making friends at a disadvantage, but Zhang Guodong didn't appreciate it.

"60 yuan? You must earn at least a thousand yuan! Forget it, I don't talk nonsense, if you want 55 yuan, I will take it!"

In the end, Zhou Sheng Jewelry still completed the transaction with Zhang Guodong at a price of 55 yuan per gram. After the pearl earrings were finally discounted at 580 plus all product certificates, Zhang Guodong only paid 5640 yuan. Every time he went out, he carried a huge sum of nearly 6000 yuan. The purchase volume is not large this time, so there are still more than [-] left.

After walking around the field, Zhang Guodong bought a 360 yuan wool coat for his father, and a 120 yuan mechanical watch for his second brother Zhang Guotao, cousin Zhang Wenbin, and friend Wang Le. He was about to leave when he saw the counter The last pair of imported couple watches was 699 yuan. Zhang Guodong didn’t understand watches, so he sold them because he saw them beautiful.

The money in my pocket was clean, and I almost didn’t have enough money to refuel the car when I returned to Kun County. When I returned to Yongkang County, Zhang Guodong asked his second brother to stop the tractor at the gate of the high school, and entered this familiar yet unfamiliar place by himself. high school gate.

It was time for the third class in the afternoon. Zhang Guodong came to Teacher Baiyun’s door and saw that they were taking a physics class. They were lying outside the classroom window. Zhang Guodong saw that there were not many people in the classroom. In order to waste time waiting for a high school diploma, seeing Zhang Guodong looking out the window, some students all looked over.
