Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1835 - 1666
The live stream on earthworm compost lasted for half an hour.
How do I put this, even people who didn’t have a single green plant at home ended up buying a batch, saying they’d go downstairs right now to dig up soil and find plastic jugs to plant onions...
Regarding this, Zhang Yanping, who watched the entire live stream, could only comment: It’s still Qiaoqiao who always hooks people like a fish, but without any orders to sell, which resulted in everyone willing to spend money to buy something.
Then there’s the advantage of the pricing.
Just 9.9 yuan, and apart from Mi Xue, this price can’t even buy a cup of milk tea from other brands.
What’s the harm in buying two pounds of earthworm compost?
You’re supporting Qiaoqiao, helping farmers, fostering a healthy hobby, and maybe it really does bring nutrients to your plants.
Just like that, Yunyun’s House’s first-time harvest from their two acres produced over four tons of dried earthworm compost with a total sales of 39,600 yuan.
In total, there were 4,000 express orders, 2.8 per order, and after excluding the costs of the packaging and other things, this time the profit was over twenty thousand!
Earning more than twenty thousand in three months might not mean much in a big city, but in the countryside, this money could be entirely saved!
And this is just the initial results from trial and error. Going forward, won’t the yield be even higher?
Even Qi Lin and the others guaranteed the effectiveness of the earthworm compost; once customers use it, they’ll surely find it useful.
Repeat customers might not come as quickly as the current sales, but it could become a steady stream.
This is a solid good business!
Yunyun was overjoyed!
Yunyun’s husband was gleefully exclaiming: "Once the money is received, save it all."
Yunyun disagreed: "You’ve worked hard before, sure, but we can’t always depend on physical labor alone. I asked Teacher Yan and others; you can get a spray watering system, controlled remotely, for just over a thousand yuan, don’t save on that."
"Also, for hauling goods from the city, talk to them properly, see if they can deliver here daily, we’ll pay them."
With the improved earthworm cultivation, monthly consumption could be ten to twenty tons of mixed feed, almost a ton daily on average.
Relying on his little tricycle to haul it from the city, not to mention the hassle, it can lead to fatigue and danger.
Although doing this will increase costs again, Yunyun feels that if she doesn’t want to bear hardships, it’s best her family doesn’t either.
Her husband usually listens, but when it comes to spending money...
Yunyun already glared at him: "Isn’t the money managed by me?"
She pondered again: "Let me check again, and get Qiaoqiao a gold pendant... Don’t be stingy. With just a word, we made over twenty thousand in half an hour, anyone would feel obliged to show some appreciation."
They might not be short on money, but they know their limits. It might not be pricey, but it’s her gesture.
Yunyun’s husband was a bit reluctant.
But...
"Make it a big one! They’ve helped us a lot, they were there from the beginning."
"Next time we sell, I’ll get you a gold bracelet too."
Yunyun gave him a look: "Got it—hurry up and help with the postage bags!"
...
Yunyun’s success caused quite a stir in the village, and people couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
But as this year’s outlook clearly improved, there’s a subtle sense of awe amidst the envy:
"They really deserve to make money."
Carrying out various tasks, sweating in the hot sun, working hard all day, it’s not easy!
"Look at them, still digging soil at over 30 degrees Celsius at noon... I told my man to catch bugs in our vegetable garden early in the morning or late at night, and he’s impatient about it..."
"This is truly hard-earned money."
Comparing it to vegetable farming, it demands even more effort.
If they earn a bit more, it’s well-deserved.
Wu Lan felt a sense of empathy when mentioning it at home:
"As they say, ’poverty breeds cunning, and wealth fosters good conscience’. As people’s lives improved, the surroundings are also peaceful."
In the past, dogs raised in the countryside had to be guarded during the New Year, or they’d be stolen. Chickens and ducks were frequently taken, and vegetables were vandalized in the fields.
There were pond contractors before too, who made a bit of money in the first year but in the second year, when the fish were about to be harvested, someone poisoned them out of envy, ruining the entire pond.
There were no surveillance cameras back then, and the sparse village made it hard to find the culprits.
It was difficult without solid evidence.
Secretary Xiaozu was chomping on a melon nearby and laughed at the comment: "Which is why the country aims to revitalize the countryside, not just from an economic perspective, but also in terms of moral education and future development."
