As the village chief, I only raise bugs

Chapter 42 42. Order Purslane

Tian Guoqing got up from behind the desk, took out a cigarette, and sat on the sofa with Jiang Chongshan: "You haven't been to Uncle for a long time? What's the matter? I'm busy these days?"

"Yeah, I'm too busy!" Jiang Chongshan said with a smile, and then took out a lighter from his pocket to help Tian Guoqing light it.

Seeing that Jiang Chongshan was quite proficient in lighting cigarettes, Tian Guoqing was a little surprised and said, "Have you learned how to smoke?"

"No, but I always have cigarettes and a lighter on my body."

"Look at Chongshan, and then at you!"

"What's wrong with me?" Tian Ziqi, who was making tea, muttered.

Tian Guoqing glared: "You've learned to talk back now, right? If it wasn't for Chongshan being here, I would definitely slap you!"

Now, Tian Ziqi didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Jiang Chongshan resentfully.

Jiang Chongshan wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he still helped Tian Ziqi out: "Uncle Tian, ​​Ziqi called and said that you want to discuss cooperation with Red Tooth Amaranth?"

Tian Guoqing gave Tian Ziqi another look: "Yes, it's this brat who beat me up every day, making me forget about business."

"I asked the chef to make a few dishes with the purslane you sent. The taste is really good, especially the purslane egg soup, stewed pork ribs with purslane, and other methods are also delicious. Next, I want to Let’s launch a series of purslane dishes!”

"At this rate, our consumption will not be small. I just want to ask you, how much can we supply in a day?"

"The quantity is not large at the moment!" Jiang Chongshan shook his head, "The maximum is one or twenty kilograms a day. The quantity will be large in April or May next year. Then I can open up the supply. I suggest taking advantage of this period to experiment more and let Give it a try to regular customers, and we will launch a series of dishes as soon as they are available in large quantities. What do you think?"

Tian Guoqing flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Since the amount is not large, forget it. If it is measured, tell me."

Logically speaking, this is a trivial matter to Tian Guoqing. As far as their relationship is concerned, as long as Jiang Chongshan is here, they will definitely provide it to him.

But today at noon, a guest he couldn't afford to mess with made him nervous.

At first, he didn't think about using red-toothed amaranth. After all, he had never seen this thing before. Although he went for a test and knew that there were no toxins or anything in it, he still didn't dare to give it to the other party.

But I didn't expect that two old customers who had tasted red purslane came here today, and called for the last red purslane to be stewed with pork ribs. They happened to be seen by a group of people passing by in the hall, and the guest called for this.

He had no choice but to communicate to the entourage of the other party, saying that this thing is a new species, and they are still in the experimental stage. Although they have tested it, how to do it has not yet been fully developed.

The guest didn't have so many scruples, saying that he hadn't eaten anything back then, and seeing this dish reminded him of his childhood, and he also said that Tian Guoqing would not be responsible for the problem.

No way, Tian Guoqing had to serve this dish.

When the other party left, he was full of praise for this dish, and asked Tian Guoqing for some more, saying that if he had the opportunity to come to Zhonghe, he would come here to eat again, and hoped that Tian Guoqing could develop a few more dishes.

That's why he specially asked Jiang Chongshan to come here.

Only then did he reveal his real purpose: "Chongshan, tell Uncle Tian, ​​is this purslane?"

Jiang Chongshan explained: "It is a kind of purslane. I found a few plants in the mountains that are slightly different from purslane, so I transplanted them back and cultivated them myself. I didn't expect it to be cultivated. Some time ago I made a few dishes as purslane, and found that the taste was much better than purslane, so I went for a test, and after the test results came out a few days ago, I sent you some."

"I thought, if I can develop a dish, I will mobilize the masses to plant it, and at least I can increase my income. In order to increase the gimmick, I named it red purslane!"

Looking at Jiang Chongshan, Tian Guoqing thought of the fact that he was looking for a job when he just graduated last year, and couldn't help sighing: "The nutritional content is really not low, and there is a special fragrance. It seems that you are really suitable for starting a business in the mountains. That way, since you're here, tell Uncle Tian what price you want to supply!"

"Uncle Tian, ​​I don't understand this. You have a lot of experience. How do you think the price is right?"

"Since this is so similar to purslane, let's refer to the price of purslane!" Tian Guoqing pondered for a while, "The price of fresh purslane in the past two months is about three yuan. The taste of purslane, The smell and nutritional value are much better than those of purslane, I think the minimum price is around [-] yuan, of course, it depends on your output, if the output is low, the price is normal.”

"Then let's start with five yuan!" Jiang Chongshan didn't hesitate when he heard the price, because the picking season of this thing can last for six or seven months. If it is planted in a greenhouse, four families can pick it a year.

At the same time, he also checked that the annual yield of purslane is about [-] catties per mu. Red purslane grows much better than purslane. He estimated that there should be no problem with the annual yield of [-] catties per mu.

If there is a market, this is another important income for the masses!
After all, it’s a bit monotonous for the masses to only raise headless worms. In addition, with the return of the migrant workers, they began to build greenhouses for breeding. At that time, the elderly at home will not have so many things to do, and they will definitely go to fiddle with the land. , Planting red purslane can also increase their income a lot.

At the same time, he also wanted to replace the feed of the second-generation golden-winged flies with purslane. Although the ones planted outside are far inferior to those in the test center, they still have a certain effect. By then, they will live longer or produce more. Eggs are all money!

Now, with Yule, Meng Pinghui also said that if the production volume increases, new drinks will be launched, and he will buy some of them. In this way, there will be a market for the masses to grow this product.

"Let's talk about the production at that time." Tian Guoqing didn't say the price, what he thought was that if the production was low, he would raise the purchase price a little bit, so Jiang Chongshan wouldn't suffer, right?Besides, no matter how I sell it, I won't lose money.

He continued: "Don't leave tonight. Let's have two drinks."

"Dad, what do you want to drink tonight?" Hearing about drinking, Tian Ziqi became interested. He had been coveting the old wine his father kept for a long time, but he couldn't drink it on weekdays.

"What do you need?" Tian Guoqing glanced at his son, "You will serve us tonight!"

Hearing this, Tian Ziqi's face suddenly became mournful, and he knew that Jiang Chongshan had come, and his low status in the eyes of his father had suddenly become a negative number.

However, Jiang Chongshan refused: "No, I have to go home at night, Teacher Xue still needs me to take care of him!"

When Tian Ziqi heard this, he quickly said: "By the way, Chongzi, I will take you back tonight. I haven't visited Teacher Xue since he was discharged from the hospital."

Tian Guoqing was quite satisfied with his son's words: "Okay, then drink later, Ziqi, buy more nutritional supplements when you leave later, and I will reimburse you."

"Okay!" Tian Ziqi said happily, although his fishing tackle shop has made good income recently, it is still not easy to get some money from his father.

Jiang Chongshan was not polite either, he knew it was Tian Guoqing's wish.

Thinking about what happened this afternoon, he said, "Uncle Tian, ​​I have something to discuss with you when I come here today."
