Dressed to be a grandmother

Chapter 1064 Don't make trouble if you don't understand

The people in the new village are naturally happy after hearing this. Farming is a human being, and who would be unhappy if there is a good harvest.

Bai Xi continued: "How much was a catty of watermelon last year?"

Zhou Dahu opened his mouth, but Chen Daliu had already proficiently reported the number.

"Grandma, there were many villages growing watermelons last year. In our county, it cost three cents a catty. There were few people growing watermelons the year before, and it cost five cents a catty..."

There is a market in Niuluo Village, and the transportation team has traveled all over the country, so they have a deep understanding of the prices of non-staple food in various places.

Bai Xi nodded, and said again: "Isn't the harvest of watermelons a little earlier this year?"

Zhou Dahu nodded before Chen Daliu could speak: "Yes. Auntie, this year's watermelons are ripening a month earlier than usual." Watermelons have been harvested one after another, and they can be harvested for more than half a month.

Speaking of this, Zhou Dahu and the others looked very fortunate. This year's planting was thanks to my aunt who said earlier. Otherwise, the temperature this year is good, otherwise I couldn't harvest a month earlier.

They are not stupid. If they harvest early, it means that the watermelons in other places have not yet been sold, so the watermelons in Xiaxincun will have an advantage. Even if they cannot be sold at a high price, they will not lose money.

"Sell it for ten cents a catty."

A dime a catty?
Can it be sold?
Is it too high?

When the people in the new village heard this, they were all astonished. They looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Bai Xi, with a look of trust. Since the aunt has said everything, there must be no big problem.

A total of [-] mu of watermelons were planted in their village. They picked them today. According to preliminary calculations, one mu of watermelons can weigh about [-] catties, and a catty of watermelons can be sold for a dime, so the [-] mu...

Zhou Dahu and the others did some calculations in their heads, and they were stunned. It doesn't matter if they don't figure it out clearly, as long as they know that there will be a lot of money.

At the end of Bai Xi's words, He and Huang Xiangzhang couldn't help frowning.

The blind trust of Huang Xiangchang and Zhou Dahu and others is different, Huang Xiangchang thinks further.

These days, everyone buys watermelons individually. In the past, those watermelons weighed seven to eight catties, or ten catties each, but the watermelons in Xiaxin Village weighed thirty catties at every turn.

A dime a catty, a watermelon costs three yuan.

Three yuan to buy a watermelon is only a month's wages in the city. I'm afraid I can't bear to eat it.

What's more, the purchases by the Ministry of Statistics are all measured by a unified price, where Bai Xi can say as much as he wants.

Zhou Dahu and the others also seemed to think of this, feeling a little sleepy while being excited.

Bai Xi didn't notice everyone's expressions, and ordered Chen Daliu to cut another watermelon, eat two pieces, and then wiped his hands.

"This watermelon sells for ten cents a catty, isn't it a bit of a loss?"

Bai Xi's muttering made Huang Township Chief unable to help but speak.

"Comrade Bai, I don't think it can be sold for a dime or a catty. No matter how sweet it is, it's watermelon, not meat."

Watermelons are different from grapes in Niuluo Village. Grapes are high-end fruits, and because of the season and scarcity, the price is high, but watermelons, to be honest, are grown in more or less every province across the country. something rare.

"I say you can sell it for a dime."

Bai Xi glanced at Zhou Dahu and the others, and asked, "Do you trust me?"

Looking at her shining eyes, Zhou Dahu and the others, who already had great trust in Bai Xi, nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, we believe in you!"

Why don't you believe it? When did my aunt predict that she wasn't right? So many things were considered impossible by so many people at the beginning, and they were not optimistic, but my aunt did it anyway.Greenhouse vegetables, vineyards, peach groves...

Besides, they naturally want to sell at a good price.

Of course, if they really can't sell it, they have no complaints. They cost five cents a catty originally, but with their current yield per mu, they are already making a profit.

Chen Daliu: "Major, don't make trouble, you don't understand this." At worst, the village will pay for some, and it won't count as a slap in the face of my aunt.

Although the five-cent watermelon doubled, but this is the seedless watermelon that my aunt named and praised. Naturally, it is different. Let alone a dime, even a dollar is worth it!

"Me? I don't understand?" The village head Huang choked at Chen Daliu's words. Although he didn't know much about farming, who would not know about the unified purchase and marketing?
Bai Xi is a little girl, let's forget about it, Chen Daliu and the others don't know about it?

Huang Xiang gasped, and then suddenly remembered that the things in Niuluo Village had not been purchased from the purchasing department for several years, but some factory cafeterias had contacted them and came to buy them.

Could it be that Niuluo Village intends to sell watermelons in Xiaxin Village in the same way?

Because the watermelon on this tractor was filial to Bai Xi from Xiaxin Village, so, except for the one that Bai Xi asked to cut, the other watermelons were put away properly.

As for the head of Huang, he ate a stomach full of watermelons, and said that he would be concerned about the problems of the new watermelon varieties in Xiaxin Village, and he did not forget to let them not put too much hope on the price of watermelons.

These words may seem disappointing, but they are also close to the truth.

Although Zhou Dahu and others in Xiaxin Village were not very happy, they were not at ease.

As soon as the head of Huang left, Bai Xi ordered Zhou Dahu to go back and weigh all the watermelons picked today, and let the transportation team of Niuluo Village transport them out.

"That's right!" Chen Daliu thought of it when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh: "Grandma, it just so happened that the factory was going to give benefits to employees, so we can give away this watermelon."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dahu immediately said, "In this case, then five cents a catty."

A brigade, Niuluo village is doing Xiaxin village a big favor, they want to sell it for ten cents a catty, it's too much.

If it weren't for the watermelons that had invested a lot of money in buying fertilizers, it would have been possible to sell them to Niuluo Village for two cents a catty.

Chen Daliu saw that Zhou Dahu was so upbeat and didn't take advantage of the fire, so he couldn't help giving him a good look.

"No."

"You guys do it first, don't pick the remaining watermelons, wait for two days." After Bai Xi finished speaking, she clapped her hands and went to the tree house, leaving Chen Daliu, Zhou Dahu and others looking at each other in dismay.

"What does aunt mean?"

After Zhou Dahu asked, Chen Daliu curled his lips: "You ask me, how would I know, anyway, what my aunt said must be reasonable."

When other people heard it, they did too.

Although the head of Huang was depressed, he hurriedly called the county when he returned to the village and reported the incident.

Hearing that the Niuluoshan Brigade in Dashan Township has bred seedless watermelons, the county is naturally happy, and naturally there are no praises.

Huang Xiangchang smiled: "Director, you see, did you send someone to check in these two days?"

The director of the Agricultural Department laughed loudly: "This is for sure. Comrade Huang, your Dashan Township is very good. The Niuluoshan Brigade is worthy of being an advanced five-good civilization brigade. It has been closely following the country's policy direction and developing rapidly..."

(See you tomorrow~)
