Chapter 137 Southern Flour Mill(2/2)
You can also transform into a frog and crayfish killer and squat by the stream all afternoon.
At night, I was lying on the threshing floor, looking at the stars in the sky, and the frogs in the pond not far away were playing the concerto of life.
It is said that the fragrance of rice flowers means a good harvest and the sound of frogs sounds is like this.
The village is full of joy of harvest. The young daughter-in-law who returned to her parents' home before the wheat harvest this year is still grateful to Zhao Wenmu.
Because everyone knows that the changes in Shanqian Village began when Zhao Wenmu harvested game.
Zhao Wenlin has been extremely busy recently.
Not only do we have to harvest game, but we also have to take care of peach trees, and we have to cultivate nearly twice as much land as before.
Zhao Wenguang also needs no words.
Song Yun was still in confinement, and he had to shoulder all the family land and Jingyun Factory's purchases by himself.
Zhao Wenjun also worked hard.
Breeding crayfish and crabs in summer is a completely new topic for her, and the record book is getting thicker and thicker visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Wenmu couldn't help much, he could only help everyone harvest wheat.
Even many migrant workers in crayfish restaurants have to return to the village in the morning to help their families with work, and then rush back to the shop at noon.
Everyone is fulfilling and working hard.
The clean wheat with almost no impurities was put into the warehouse, and everyone felt at ease.
There is food in hand and no panic in mind.
As a farmer, what you fear most is that your family will have no food left.
Just when every household was stocking up on new wheat, good news came from Toucun, Shandong.
The Southern Flour Mill was established.
The total investment in the flour mill is 20,000 yuan. The production team of Shandong Toutun Village contributes 10,000 yuan, and the remaining 10,000 yuan is subscribed by the villagers, but each household's investment must not exceed 500 yuan.
If calculated based on the upper limit of 500 yuan, only 20 households can actually get it together.
There are nearly 300 households in Shandong Village.
As a result, it took three days to collect the 10,000 yuan.
The ideology of people in Shandongtou Village lags far behind Shanqian Village and Sanlizhuang.
Zhao Wenyan and Zhang Zhenshan naturally paid 500 yuan.
"My little brother said that this is a rare opportunity, so we can't miss it!"
Zhao Wenyan said to Zhang Zhenshan before grabbing the money and going to the production team.
"Yeah! Go quickly, it's only 500 yuan!"
Zhang Zhenshan responded casually.
"Isn't it just 500 yuan? Zhang Zhenshan, I think you have exaggerated. 500 yuan, if we didn't have a younger brother, could the two of us earn it in a year?"
Zhao Wenyan was not in a hurry to go out, and scolded Zhang Zhenshan with her hands on her hips.
Zhang Zhenshan realized that he had made a mistake and shut up.
Although the flour mill has members investing in it, it is essentially an asset of the Shandong Toucun production team, and the members’ equity is confirmed through private agreements.
Therefore, it is a 100% collective enterprise.
Not affected by the business ban on a category of agricultural products.
Private enterprises are currently strictly prohibited from getting involved in agricultural products such as grain.
Before building the flour mill, Zhang Zhenpeng went to Zhao Wenmu many times for advice.
Zhao Wenmu suggested that he start from a flour mill and in the short term mainly engage in flour production, sales and flour processing as an agent. In the future, it will gradually cover various flour products, such as noodles, snacks, etc.
Zhang Zhenpeng listened to his advice.
"On June 20, the Southern Flour Mill in Toucun, Shandong opened grandly! As an opening bonus, the retail price of flour is discounted at 12 cents per catty, and the processing fee for bringing your own wheat is discounted at 2.5 cents per catty."
This news, like a rocket, spread quickly in Zheshan Commune and Chengguan Commune, which were far away.
The flour costing 1 cents and 2 cents is the same as that of a supply and marketing cooperative, but no votes are required, so it is quite attractive.
What really caused an uproar like a nuclear bomb was wheat processing.
In the past, everyone sold wheat to supply and marketing cooperatives and then spent money to buy flour.
Therefore, people are actually very reluctant to buy flour.
Because everyone has no money!
How can I use the little money I finally earned to buy flour when I have to save it, meet emergencies, prepare for a wife and have children?
It is very difficult to process flour at home.
Just relying on that graphite plate, one person cannot process ten kilograms of flour in one day.
The flour particles are so rough!
To put it bluntly, the flour you grind out after a hard day's work is not as much as the shit you poop out.
But things are different now. You can directly process your own wheat into flour!
Go with the wheat and come back with the flour.
The processing fee is only 2 cents and 5 cents.
Farmers' ideas are very simple, or a little distorted.
They only think that 2 cents and 5 cents is a bargain, but to a large extent they don’t realize that they are also selling wheat!
In other words, many consumers will fall into such misunderstandings.
But no matter what, since the wheat is grown at home, there is no need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to grind flour.
Then why not go?
Of course I go, go right away!
The investment in Nanfang Flour Mill reached 20,000 yuan, which can be said to be a very high starting point. It can process 5 tons of wheat every day.
A full 10,000 kilograms!
But on the day of the opening, Zhang Zhenpeng was still dumbfounded when he saw the crowds of people queuing from the end of the village to the beginning of the village and all the way to the outside of the village.
Everyone either pulled carts or pushed carts, or used ox carts or mule carts to load hundreds of kilograms of wheat. It was probably several families who came together.
Countless villagers, whether they knew each other or not, were talking and laughing as if they were celebrating a festival.
Or this is also a kind of joy of harvest.
From that day on, the rumbling roar of machines resounded throughout Shandong Toucun from morning to night.
Machines and dust tell the story of the changes of the times.
It has also changed the ideological concepts of people in Shandong Toucun.
In an era where escape is inevitable, no one can pretend to be deaf and dumb.
