Chapter 34 The Village Chief's Respect
Rumble.
Early in the morning, a deafening roar came from the edge of Xingfuzhai Village, and three boxes of goods lined up and drove in.
These cars are the fleet that Fuli Huahai is responsible for purchasing, while chef Huo Weidong personally served as the person in charge and led the fleet.
Li Youqian's good quality vegetables shocked him. He wanted to see for himself what kind of water and soil it was to cultivate such delicious vegetables.
"Chef Huo, you are suffering from it. I didn't expect that you came here in person." When Li Youqian saw Huo Weidong, he also greeted warmly.
Huo Weidong is the chef of Fuli Huahai and has a very high status, so Li Youqian naturally cannot neglect it.
Moreover, people strongly praised his vegetables at that time, and he even wanted to repay them to show respect.
"Boss Li, why are you so awkward to your ears? I am just a little chef, how can I compare with you, the boss?" Huo Weidong waved his hand, looking as if he was ashamed of himself.
"Don't disgust me. I'm a big boss, I'm just a small vegetable farmer." Li Youqian rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
"Haha, I'm telling the truth. Even if you are a small vegetable farmer now, in my opinion, you will definitely become a big boss in no time." Huo Weidong praised, "I have to establish a good relationship with you in advance. If I can't make a living one day, Boss Li, you have to take me in. I don't have high requirements. Just give me some food and not let me starve to death."
Li Youqian knew that Huo Weidong was joking, so he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, my door has always been open for you. As long as you are willing to come, you can come at any time."
Huo Weidong also saw Li Youqian's future, so he didn't have the slightest attitude of a chef. The two of them chatted and laughed and came to the vegetable field.
At this time, in addition to Li Fugui and his wife, there were ten villagers who helped in the vegetable field. These people were found by Li Youqian last night. He promised to help for a long time today, and each person was rewarded with fifty yuan. He immediately responded and was full in an instant.
For honest rural people, if you can earn fifty dollars in half a day after going to the ground, it is simply a good thing that a pie falls from the sky, especially helping with vegetables, which is much easier than doing farm work.
"Lao Huo, how many kilograms of vegetables do you plan to buy this time?" Li Youqian asked.
"Originally, according to my opinion, it must be better than the more. However, our manager was afraid of poor sales, so he finally decided to order about 800 kilograms for each one. These should be enough for the three-day supply of our Fulihua overseas and the catering companies under our jurisdiction. The initial fermentation can be completed in three days. Whether this dish can be popular will be clear at a glance."
"But I have 12% confidence in your dish. I believe that with the joining of vegetables like you, our Fuli Huahai Catering will at least double the customer base. After a while, we will expand our publicity and profits will definitely increase sharply." Huo Weidong said seriously, as if he was more confident than Li Youqian.
"Then I'll ask Lao Huo for your good words." Zhang Yu smiled.
Soon, the employees brought by Huo Weidong brought large boxes for serving vegetables, while Li Fugui and the villagers placed the clean vegetable codes in the box.
More than ten people worked hard, and after more than two hours, dozens of vegetable baskets were completely filled.
However, because these are green vegetables, there is actually no extra weight in a basket.
After the vegetable field was directly weighed, the workers brought the boxes of goods.
"952 kilograms of oil and vegetables, 883 kilograms of lettuce, 741 kilograms of small cabbage, 807 kilograms of small rape and 330 kilograms of coriander. You Qian, this is the receipt for the amount of vegetables, you can collect it. This afternoon, the company's finance department should transfer all these dishes into your account. If there is any error at that time, you will tell Manager Lu directly that he will definitely help you solve it." After weighing, Huo Weidong tore off the attached receipt and handed it to Li Youqian.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lao Huo." Li Youqian thanked.
He planted three acres of vegetables in total. Because of the nourishment of spiritual liquid, these vegetables cannot help but have no diseases or pests and diseases, and their growth is also great. Take lettuce for example, the yield per mu of 6,000 kilograms is definitely good.
However, because three acres of land were planted with four kinds of vegetables, the estimated total output of this lettuce was only about four or five thousand kilograms.
Although Fulihuahai purchased seven or eight hundred kilograms each this time, the total amount was estimated to be one-quarter to one-fifth of the Li Youqian vegetable field.
Although there are still a lot of leftover dishes, Li Youqian was not worried at all.
He believed that in three days Fuli Huahai would witness the popularity of these vegetables, and at that time they would inevitably increase the purchase volume, so these vegetables were actually not enough for a few days, so he had to expand the planting as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if a new catering company seeks cooperation with him during this period, wouldn’t he have to watch the money slip away from him?
After loading all the dishes, it was already past ten o'clock, Huo Weidong no longer stayed for a long time and said goodbye and left.
"Uncles and aunts, this is the reward for you. Each person costs 60 yuan, and the extra ten yuan will be used as before meals. Thank you for helping you." Li Youqian took out the prepared wages from his wallet and distributed them to all the villagers who helped.
It was said that it took half a day, but in fact, it only took three hours of work in total. Li Youqian actually gave them 60 yuan, and every villager's face was filled with joy.
"Brother Gui, being rich is really a person who does big things. If our family Shengwa is half rich, I can wake up in my dreams." Sun Caixia wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with envy.
"If you have money, you have a promising future. Maybe we can all benefit from having money in the future." Wang Aiguo couldn't help but praise.
They watched with their own eyes that these dishes were loaded by three large trucks and could think of them with their toes, and they would definitely be sold for a lot of money.
These villagers do not have the ability of Li Youqian, but as long as Li Youqian often hires them, it would be a very happy thing for them to earn a thousand yuan in extra money that month.
Li Fugui's old face was also flushed. He had never felt that life was so nourishing. Now, in the eyes of these villagers, he was just like the rich man in the past, with a glorious scenery.
"It's not in vain that my father gave you a rich name." Li Fugui looked at Li Youqian and muttered silently in his heart, his mouth was so happy that he was crooked.
After sending away all the villagers who helped, Li Youqian also returned home.
After dinner, Li Youqian did not have lunch break. They had to go to the village committee to discuss the land exchange with several other families, so Li Youqian went into the house to check the price of today's food.
Lettuce is 5 yuan, 8 yuan, 3 yuan, 2 yuan, 3 yuan, 7 yuan, 4 yuan, 3 yuan, and 6 yuan, 5 yuan. These are the average prices given online. Even if there is some fluctuation, it is not much different. The most important thing is that its dishes are ten times the market price.
Li Youqian made a rough calculation and could sell his own batch of vegetables for 160,000 to 170,000 yuan.
The vegetables he grows are not like other vegetable farmers, and they also need to throw away pesticides, expenses, etc. In addition to some rapeseed money and a little labor cost, they are almost all profits. In other words, he can make a net profit of 140,000 to 150,000 for this batch of vegetables.
Li Youqian himself couldn't help but be shocked. Since Fuli Huahai dared to acquire it at ten times the price, the price would definitely be higher. Li Youqian couldn't help but sigh that the catering industry is indeed a veritable profit-making industry.
After browsing on the web page for a while, Li Youqian turned off his computer and went to the village committee.
At this time, village chief Li Defa and villager Zhao Guowu had already arrived.
Seeing Li Fugui coming, Li Defa got up to greet him in person.
In the morning, three large trucks entered the village to purchase the vegetables grown by Li Youqian. Li Defa saw it with his own eyes. He was shocked and envious.
Li Youqian earns more money than he earns when he is the village chief. Li Defa has to admit that he has indeed misunderstood before.
And the people here heard more or less, and their eyes immediately became different when they looked at Li Fugui.
"Fugui quickly sit down. Oh, the afternoon shouldn't have called you here, but everyone has something to do in the afternoon and can't get it all together, so you just want to do it." Li De said enthusiastically.
Although Li Defa was quite kind in the past, no matter how he said he was a sesame official, he had an invisible power. But now, not only are the two sides on equal terms, but Li Defa even felt a little bit self-deprecating.
"Yes, it's all my fault. The main reason is that I have to go to the town to collect food in the afternoon, so I can only advance our situation." Zhao Guowu also stood up from the stool on the side and said a little embarrassedly.
Li Fugui was also a little flattered by the scene in front of him and didn't know what to do. Then he glanced at the smiling Li Youqian, and he finally calmed down.
If you have your own smart and capable son, what else can you worry about?
Li Fugui thanked him a few times, then sat on the stool, while Li Youqian stood silently behind Li Fugui.
Everyone here is from the same village, and they are all Li Youqian's elders. Standing still makes him respect his elders, not the kind of arrogant person.
"Well, Fugui, I have talked about the change of land, and they all agreed. But you also know that corn has been planted in the fields, and we farmers rely on the fields to make a living. If this is ruined, the harvest will be gone for a year. So call you here and discuss how much compensation is appropriate." Li Defa spoke first and directly pointed out the topic.
"Guowu, I want to hear your thoughts first and see how you want to compensate. You all know what kind of person I am, Fugui is. As long as it is reasonable, I will definitely have no objection." Li Fugui glanced at the few people in the venue and asked.
Chapter completed!
