Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1528 Village Meeting

The second day of the May Day holiday was another extremely satisfying day for the villagers of Yunqiao Village.

The only bad thing is that the tourists bought so many things that the vegetables in everyone's fields could hardly hold on. Even Grandpa Qi Lin's chicken feather vegetables were sold for two hundred yuan today.

The old man looked at his three acres of land. He never knew that making money was so easy!

Oh my, if we can do this every day, won’t Linzi be able to find a wife in less than two years?

The old man was so happy!

It just so happened that the wine my grandson sent me last time had not been finished yet, so I poured myself a small glass of wine and sipped it carefully in the evening. I was so looking forward to it.

The villagers were visiting each other and talking about this matter. At this moment, they were hoping that the Song family could sell them more vegetable seedlings.

“We didn’t have enough to sell before!”

"It's no use asking the Song family to sell at a lower price. The crops they grow are much better than ours, and they earn more money than us. Selling to us would be a sheer loss..."

Even those who try to take advantage of others know that this kind of relationship will not last long.

"Didn't Wulan say that the experts and their students were all invited to stay here to study breeding? A year has passed, why haven't they figured it out yet?"

"It should be soon. Look at Tian Tian who's selling strawberries. I heard that's their experimental field..."

"My family can also grow strawberries, why do they give them to those from other villages..."

"Come on, forget it. They have a family of four taking care of a piece of land. You are the only one at home, right? Can you do it?"

At this time, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu directly announced through the loudspeaker: "Hello, hello, are you all here? Regarding the future development of the village, everyone should take time to come to the village office for a meeting and talk about the details... Not sending representatives, but everyone who is free should come..."

There is not much entertainment in the countryside once it gets dark, and this is related to everyone's wallet, so as soon as the broadcast came out, people immediately went to the village office.

In the empty room where the meeting was held during the New Year, Qi Lin and the other two were already waiting there, with baskets of materials beside them - they were working overtime for the village, and Secretary Xiao Zhu never hesitated to pay the overtime pay, so the three were very happy to work overtime.

At this moment, Tang Xiaodong stared at the table: "Are all the items correct? Is the difference in output not too big?"

This is how we arrange seedlings for the villagers, because they are moved from the mountains for various reasons, with different varieties, different yields, and different economic benefits.

What is worrying is not the lack of income but the inequality of income, so they have to calculate carefully, from planting costs (including time) to income, and try to make it as balanced as possible for every household.

Honestly speaking, if Party Secretary Xiao Zhu hadn't repeatedly stressed that this was a rare opportunity, Song Tan would never have agreed to this kind of behavior of feeding food to one's mouth.

But, what she said also makes sense -

"Many cities and towns may only have one chance to develop after decades. If you miss it, you will always fall behind."

"It's not good to feed the villagers, but as long as we can stick to it for two months and let returning customers know that our ordinary vegetables are better than those in the market, they will be able to make their own way."

Yan Ran thought of Secretary Xiao Zhu's earnestness and nodded: "Yes. It's all right. We have to emphasize again tonight that tonight is the last time to provide seedlings."

This was not the original plan.

For example, last winter, Song Tan began to provide vegetable seedlings to the villagers. The plan was to provide them regularly and in fixed quantities, and to use three to five years to see whether Professor Song and his team could develop more suitable varieties.

But as she enveloped the village with spiritual energy, in just over half a month, the weeds in the fields became more moist than those elsewhere. For perennial woody plants, the taste advantage was not obvious. But for the various fast-growing vegetables that can be eaten in one or two months, the change was really outstanding. In other words, Song Tan no longer needed to provide the carefully cultivated vegetable seedlings. The villagers could rely on themselves. As long as the production of two crops kept up, their own agricultural economic ecology could be maintained.

The three-person team who constantly monitors the soil, water and air quality in the village felt this change more directly.

The reason why they can cooperate today is also because of this premise.

Now, with the villagers arriving one after another, Secretary Zhu has also discussed the red and white faces with the village cadres, and soon it will start -

"Is everyone here? If you are not here, please go back and tell each other."

"You all have seen the tourists over the past two days. Time is tight, so I won't waste any more words. First of all, tonight the Song family will provide vegetable seedlings to everyone for the last time, and the price will still be the same as before."

"Because there are many varieties and the quantities vary, but we try to divide them as evenly as possible. If you want to buy something, you can draw lots and you get whichever you draw. You are not allowed to exchange them."

As soon as this was said, someone immediately asked: "Why is this the last time you provide it? We can also pay in the future."

"That's right! I don't buy on credit, can I buy more?"

The villagers were not willing to accept this - anyone who saw the money flying away would have cried out.

"What are you arguing about?" The captain said with a gloomy face, "Are you not satisfied with taking advantage? Why do we sell to you at a low price every day? Last winter, I told you to be bolder, but you still complained."

"When you see the money, you want to come again. You've already enjoyed the benefits, but you can't just wait for others to bring the food to your mouth!"

The team leader is an old face in the village and one of our own. Now he speaks harshly and everyone can only listen.

Seeing this, Secretary Zhu laughed again: "Rely on the mountain and the mountain will fall, rely on people and they will run away. It's insecure to always rely on others for money. From now on, you dare not quarrel with the old Song family loudly, then how can you be fellow villagers?"

This is the truth, and everyone actually understands it in their hearts, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when they say it out loud now.

"They are capable, the vegetables are expensive, just keep your voice down..."

"You can't say that." Secretary Zhu was not in a hurry at all: "The Song family didn't mean to ask you to give in for the seedlings at the beginning, but to find a stable way for us to make money."

"Isn't that what they have now? They first use their expensive vegetables to attract people, and then they sell the vegetables from their own fields. Let me ask you guys, have you sold all the vegetables from your own fields in the past two days?"

Then it must have been sold, and it’s not sold too much.

Because good food is expensive! Some families with five or six people have to use a bowl to cook vegetables for a meal. How can they bear to eat good food all the time? But now that they are here, if they can't bear to eat expensive food, how can they bear to eat cheap food from the field?

For example, Grandpa Qi Lin, the price of chicken feather vegetables in the vegetable market is now 6 yuan per pound, but you have to set up a stall and pick them yourself. But in the village, people pick them themselves and get yuan...

Who wouldn't be happy about this?

And the villagers didn't cheat anyone - Party Secretary Xiao Zhu said that whoever cheats others and ruins the reputation will have his name put on the QR code map and crossed out!

In short, the vegetables from my own garden are fresh and sweet this year, and they are sold at a price fifty cents or one yuan more expensive than those at the vegetable market, which is not excessive at all!

After thinking about it, everyone was speechless.

Come on! See you tomorrow.
