Chapter 55: Not planting wheat(1/2)
The eldest brother-in-law left, and Gao Guoliang took out a few bundles of money from the cabinet. These were the money that people in the village paid for fines. Baosheng saw that he wanted to take it to the countryside, so he gave his father a ride.
"Have you paid everything?" Gao Baosheng asked as the car left the village and looked at his father.
"It's all together. In the past few days, every household has borrowed all the money it can borrow from relatives. If we don't borrow enough, our family will advance it first... Six families advanced 3,318 yuan." Gao Guoliang said in a deep voice.
"Do you have so much money in your hand?" Gao Baosheng asked.
"The family originally had 600 yuan, and the remaining 1,800 yuan from your fourth uncle's betrothal gift was used. In addition, I spent 900 yuan from the labor money to build the house." Gao Guoliang said.
Gao Baosheng didn't answer after hearing this. His father also worked hard for the village. Building a house was very important to him. The 1,800 was money for fish feed, so he spent it all. This shows how much pressure he felt.
"This is 3,000 yuan. You take it first. We can't stop raising fish and building houses!" Gao Baosheng put his right hand into his pocket and took out three wads of money from the space, which was exactly 3,000 yuan.
"Take it! In a few days, the village's sand control and afforestation subsidy will come out, and then the wages for building the house will be made up." Gao Guoliang waved his hand and said.
"If I have it, you can take it, otherwise my mother will definitely complain about you. Can I give you a good look? If the sand control and afforestation subsidy were distributed like last year, it would only be more than 100 yuan per family. You can get back several hundred yuan."
Baosheng said.
Gao Guoliang thought for a moment and put the money away. He sat in the car and looked at the road ahead quietly. Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the gate of the township government. Gao Baosheng was waiting outside. Gao Guoliang paid the money and came out quickly.
.
"Have you finished paying?" Gao Baosheng asked when he saw his father getting into the car.
"That's it. Tomorrow, those who make family planning posters will come to our village. We have built two poster walls together and need to buy some paint. The township government gave us 90 yuan to do the propaganda. How can this little money be enough?" Gao Guoliang
said.
"If you lose electricity, you will lose some! There are paint sellers there. Dad, sit here and I'll buy some." Gao Baosheng got out of the car and bought many buckets of paint, including a big bucket of white paint, which cost 180 yuan.
money.
"Why did you buy so much?" Gao Guoliang asked as he watched Gao Baosheng move the carriage three times before finishing it.
"If you want to do it, do it well. This propaganda painting is well done and it is also a scenic spot in the village. If the paint is not used up, it will be used in the school. When the painter comes tomorrow, I will also paint some paintings for the school. I just bought two cigarettes.
." Gao Baosheng said and threw the cigarette onto the back seat.
"Son, you can't spend money this way. No matter how rich this family is, they can't afford to spend like this. Only by being diligent and frugal can we live a better and better life. Otherwise, you will spend all the money you make in the future." Gao Guoliang taught.
son.
"If I can spend money, I can earn more. If I don't have any money, I'll drive out for a few days for transportation.
By the way, Dad, I have something to tell you." Gao Baosheng said suddenly.
"What's going on?" Gao Guoliang asked.
"This year we will no longer grow wheat in our ponds. People around the provincial capital have begun to grow greenhouses. The price of greenhouse vegetables in winter is more than three times that in autumn. It is not a problem to earn several hundred yuan per acre of land. It is much better than that kind of wheat.
"Gao Baosheng said.
"I've heard of greenhouse vegetables, but I don't know how to do it. If we don't grow wheat, how will we pay the public grain next year?" Gao Guoliang asked.
"Isn't it enough to just pay the money? Nowadays, a pound of wheat only costs more than 10 cents. One acre of our land only produces more than 600 pounds. The income is less than 100 yuan a year. It's not troublesome enough to grow it.
"Gao Baosheng said.
Gao Guoliang hesitated. He cared very much about his son's words. After all, this family would belong to Baosheng from now on, but if he was asked not to farm, he felt very uneasy for a while.
"We have a car. If we can't sell it in the county, we take it to the city. It only takes a day to go to the provincial capital. The vegetables we transport there are fresh. Let my second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle tell me and we can plant them together.
Greenhouse vegetables." Gao Baosheng said.
"Go and tell your three uncles, I don't know anything about the greenhouse!" Gao Guoliang finally informed his son of his proposal.
Back home, Gao Baosheng told his three uncles about his idea. His fourth uncle, Gao Guozhong, was the first to applaud and agree. He believed Gao Baosheng that the four of them had five acres of land together and could raise fish in greenhouses on the shore of the lake.
He no longer cares about the income from growing vegetables and wheat.
Gao Guozhong and Gao Guoyao finally agreed, but they knew nothing about greenhouse farming and felt very uneasy.
"If you want to build a greenhouse, just build it. It's very cold here in winter. It's best to have bricks underneath the greenhouse to support it, so it can store heat better.
If you want the New Year vegetables to be on the market just in time, it is most appropriate to plant them starting in November, which means we need forty days to set up the greenhouse.
The wind and sand here are relatively strong, so the greenhouses cannot be built too big. I think one greenhouse can be built on three-thirds of the land. We can build ten greenhouses on five acres of land. I will leave this matter to my third uncle," Gao Baosheng said.
.
Gao Guoyao nodded after hearing this. Gao Guoming was in charge of the fish pond and now his family status has risen sharply. The people in Jijiagou were very polite when they saw him. Gao Guoyao was also jealous when he saw it.
“Our own family members have to agree on how to divide the final money.
Third uncle, you are in charge of greenhouse vegetables, just like fourth uncle is in charge of fish ponds. You get 10 yuan a day. You need to sell the vegetables to get the money.
My car used for transportation will be calculated according to the market price. After deducting the initial investment from me, the profit will be shared equally among the four of us." Gao Baosheng said.
"We are all a family. Just give us some money when you make money. It is useless if we ask for too much money." Gao Guoyao said.
Gao Guozhong and Gao Guoming also nodded in agreement. This Baosheng is just like their own children. Brothers in the countryside are a family. Baosheng is the hope of their whole family. Whatever he wants to do, the three brothers will definitely support him fully.
"Let's agree on this first. The house builders at home happen to be here these days. Ruobing and I will go check out greenhouse planting today. When we come up with a plan tomorrow, I will go to the county to buy materials for building greenhouses.
It will cost a lot of money to build a greenhouse. When the materials are bought, I will ask Ruobing to help you, Uncle San. If you have any technical aspects that you don’t understand, just ask him. I have to drive to the county to do some work." Gao Baosheng
said.
There is only a small area in the village's pond that can be grown in greenhouses. Gao Baosheng is determined to bring the whole village together, but it is still too early to say that it is impossible for everyone to give up growing wheat. Even if someone follows him, how will this market end?
How much money can Gao Baosheng make? He is still exploring.
If he really loses money, Gao Baosheng will not only have to bear all the losses, but also suffer a bad reputation. This is not what he sees.
He and Shen Ruobing came out of the cave, and Shen Ruobing walked next to Gao Baosheng.
"How about we go to the school dormitory? The book you bought last time contains information about greenhouse cultivation. Let's take a look at how to build this greenhouse.
You go do your thing tomorrow and leave all the technical aspects to me. The principle of greenhouse cultivation is very simple. The key is to maintain temperature and light." Shen Ruobing said.
The two came to Shen Ruobing's dormitory at the school. The new dormitory is now being capped. In a few days, when the wall dries a little, the fire wall can be heated and dried. There are still more than ten days until the children start school again.
Shen Ruobing can move in at that time.
There is no secret to Gao Baosheng in greenhouse planting technology, and even Shen Ruobing quickly grasped the key if there was information available.
"According to what you said, we need to build ten greenhouses with one-meter-high brick walls at the bottom. We need about 18,000 bricks, plastic sheets that are ten meters wide and about 200 meters long, and cork for the supports.
1,300 pieces, these may cost a lot," Shen Ruobing said.
"1,800 bricks, 600 thick plastic sheets, 300 wood, a total of 2,700 yuan will be enough. The labor cost is not included, but he doesn't use much wire, cement, sand and gravel, so he can just take it from home." Gao Baosheng said.
.
"Then with this design, the key to greenhouse construction is to balance the temperature inside the greenhouse. You need to buy some thermometers and several hair dryers.
When vegetables start to be grown in the greenhouse, to maintain the temperature inside, it is best to burn anthracite. Ten greenhouses consume a lot of media in a day." Shen Ruobing looked at Gao Baosheng and said.
"Shouldn't I just drive a car and make money? Anthracite coal in our county costs 120 yuan per ton. In winter, the fish in the lake sink to the bottom of the lake to spend the winter, and they don't need much feed. When the greenhouse vegetables make money during the New Year, the money will come back next year.
I just happened to buy fish feed." Gao Baosheng said.
"You are putting too much pressure on yourself!" Shen Ruobing looked at Gao Baosheng and said with some distress.
"Youth is the time to work hard. It would be sad if you don't work hard now and then work hard when you are old. When everything gets on the right track, we will be much more relaxed. Everything is difficult at the beginning!" Gao Baosheng said with a smile.
It was already dark, and Gao Baosheng saw that all the workers at the school had gone back to eat. He and Shen Ruobing also went back. During the meal, Baosheng talked about the design of the greenhouse. Tomorrow he would need his father and his third uncle to go to Ikeda to see it.
You see, his design is just a rough idea, and dad has to make the final decision.
"If you have time these days, it would be best to dig some silt from the lake into the fields, so that the effect of our greenhouse planting will be much better. Let the third uncle be responsible for the greenhouse. You can talk to me about the details here. There are technical aspects
I wonder if I can ask Ruobing, tomorrow I will drive to the county to find some work." Gao Baosheng said.
"You are busy with your work. We are building a house this year, and are also involved in fish farming and greenhouse planting. The pace is a bit fast, but it doesn't matter even if it fails, people have to be a little bit forward.
The money you gave us is enough for one month's feed. Depending on the progress, the two side houses in the yard will be ready for construction in 20 days. The cave dwelling for your fourth uncle's house will be completed in about a month. Let's hurry up on the later construction period. The house can be completed this year. The side house
If the fire wall is fast, we can move in before winter comes," Gao Guoliang said.
"Dad, please don't owe the workers any money for the mid-term project. All the upfront money for building the floors must be settled. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money for fish feed. I'll find a way." Gao Baosheng said.
Gao Guoliang nodded after hearing this. He originally wanted to postpone the wages, but since Baosheng said so, he would have to pay some people's bills recently.
One of the reasons why Gao Baosheng hired so many workers was to shorten the construction period, and on the other hand, it was to obtain space water. If he didn't even pay the workers, his plan to build a house would have failed more than half.
September 26th this year is August 20th in the lunar calendar, which is the meeting time in Mengjiawan Township. It is the busiest time in Mengjiawan Township. Before then, try to pay everyone what you can, so that
Only in this way can you gain recognition and gratitude from others.
Things at home are now on track. Now is the time when bricks are consumed the fastest. Baosheng still has time to buy another 20,000 bricks. In the countryside, being able to buy 70,000 bricks a year is considered an achievement.
The next morning, Gao Baosheng, Shen Ruobing, Gao Guoliang, and Gao Guoyao went to Ikeda to survey and determined all the locations for building greenhouses. Construction can begin here this afternoon.
Gao Baosheng drove to the Hengshan County National Highway Construction Office. His car was registered here, so he could just pull over and collect the ticket.
Pulling a cart full of earthwork, Gao Baosheng, the owner of Zhichang Grassland, was too dark-hearted and pretended to be too full. After driving for three kilometers, he saw a fork in the road and drove straight in. When he saw people everywhere, he directly put the car into the car.
The earthwork is stored in the space warehouse.
"Actually, it's okay to throw these earthworks into the space desert. Space can swallow all these earthworks." Gao Baosheng suddenly thought of the trend chart of space water acquisition that appeared last time when space swallowed up real objects.
Put the earth into the space. Anyway, the warehouse is still empty now. He may have some use for storing the red earth.
