Capítulo 1634: Chapter 1491: Business Opportunity
Zhang Yanping himself didn’t expect to earn this salary.
He proudly showed off to Doctor Xiaoguo: “Look! Although I’m not as specialized as you, I also have my own skills! This face looks best a little tanned. Maybe I shouldn’t use those face masks you made for .”
Doctor Xiaoguo sighed: “If I knew it would’ve turned out like this, I would’ve just rented you to co ho with
for the New Year, without having to involve myself at all.”
Zhang Yanping: ?!!
“I even got a tattoo for you! And you say that!”
With a dragon on one arm and a tiger on the other, in the middle of winter, he’d have to think of ways to roll up his sleeves while carrying firewood, all for this woman! He’s so wronged!
Doctor Xiaoguo, recalling past events, tousled his stiff hair, which looked as unfriendly as he did: “Alright then! You can rely on your looks, and I’ll rely on my skills. Doesn’t that complent each other well? A perfect match.”
Zhang Yanping glanced at her and fell silent.
The couple confusedly had a spat, while Yun Duo had just finished preparing the new month’s payroll. She saw Zhang Yanping storming ho and quietly reminded herself: Don’t get carried away!
Zhang Yanping is even the boss’s cousin, working an outside job, and yet he has adjusted so well and quickly. Just look at how angry he is, like he could pick up a knife at any mont. How scary!
She has to be just as dedicated!
What crops are about to ripen on the mountain in May and June? She should spare so ti to consult with Yan Ran and the others on the mountain and perhaps draft a to-do list.
Although the boss might not need it, that’s her job. Especially since she doesn’t have to work overti now and can have a good al and sleep soundly by just focusing on her tasks during office hours, what a perfect job!
Before that, she was downstairs helping Song Tan mix rice husks into the soil, and she asked, “Boss, what do you think? For my sister and brother-in-law who’ve always been in the village, is there any business with low costs that two people can manage and still earn so money?”
“There are actually quite a few.”
Quite a few?
Yun Duo was puzzled: Is there so much business potential in rural areas? Why is it so hard to find such a business?
Song Tan was mixing soil for roses.
Lun Chuan is particular about planting flowers, so if she’s going to give away potted plants, she can’t just scoop so yellow soil into a pot and send it over, right?
That’s not giving a flower, that’s giving soone extra work.
Especially these two rose plants, which she had pruned and stimulated to grow, fussing over for more than a month until they finally produced satisfactory buds, needed extra care.
So, even though the soil was garden soil dug up from the ground, it was mixed with a small amount of rice husk to make it more loose. According to Zhang Wang’s family, this stuff decomposes slowly, so it won’t burn the plants and can be confidently used as a soil base.
There was a small bag of soil nearby fernted from plant compost, which was perfect as a base fertilizer for the rose pots. After casually mixing everything, Song Tan finally had ti to speak: “In the village, as long as you’re willing and ready to invest, there are many things you can do.”
This investnt isn’t just financial but also involves ntal and human resources.
“Take your sister and her husband, Yun Duo—I was just mixing soil, did you think the process was complicated?”
The topic changed too quickly, and Yun Duo didn’t react imdiately. She glanced at the remaining soil and then at the prepared soil piles, confused: “It’s alright, not too complicated.”
If you just talked about it, it might seem like a lot of steps, but once you’ve actually done it, you know it’s just about a bit of mixing here and there, not complicated at all, actually kind of stress-relieving.
Song Tan laughed: “Do you think there’s any business opportunity in this?”
Yun Duo’s spirits lifted!
She might not be that quick-witted, but she likes to thodically think things through from beginning to end.
For example, a business opportunity with planting flowers—
Pots?
No, that’s not it. There’s no craftsmanship or manufacturers here, and it seems like a big investnt which doesn’t et her requirents.
Garden soil? That’s a no-cost business, just need to dig so from the field.
But they sell that online, mostly large bulk orders with negotiated logistics prices. Selling small quantities might not earn enough to cover shipping costs.
What about compost?
Yun Duo perked up: “Are we going to sell this fernted fertilizer?”
She was genuinely thinking, which made Song Tan laugh: “You see, rice husk is the cheapest soil improvent material, and though fewer people grow grains in our village, there are many elderly people within ten miles and eight villages. This year they plant so wheat, next year they plant so rice.”
Of course, the elderly lack physical strength and are frugal, so the yields are generally average, not only with lots of unfilled grains but also abundant rice husks.
This rice isn’t really ant for eating; they just can’t bear leaving the land unused. However, if soone is willing to buy it, they would naturally prefer a steady cash inco.
Yun Duo’s eyes shone bright!
Song Tan smiled along:
“Do you think if we turn this into Rice Husk Charcoal or sell the dry rice husks directly, using a village livestream to promote it, pay a little for advertising, and do so small-scale marketing, it would work?”
The village’s livestream channel is rarely used, but whenever it is, it’s ant to sell goods. Although it hasn’t been used for a while, given its previous tens of thousands of followers, rice husks, let alone air, could easily sell hundreds or thousands of orders.
The rice husk is bulky, but it’s not heavy.
Yun Duo was elated, almost wanting to fly over to Yunyun and tell her about this!
But then Song Tan shifted gears: “However, rice husks are very stable in price online, costing so cents to a couple of dollars per pound. Working hard without consistent large orders won’t make much money.”
“If that’s the case, why not sell…”
Before she finished, Yun Duo eagerly exclaid: “I know, we can sell natural organic fernted fertilizers the sa way!”
What was the ferntation thod Yan Ran and the others ntioned last ti?
Ah! She didn’t listen carefully.
“No,” unexpectedly, Song Tan offered another direction: “The natural organic fertilizer ferntation process is well-known among gardeners, with no barriers. Anyone familiar with it can easily do it themselves.”
“So, it’s not suitable as our main business.”
“But…” she winked at Yun Duo, “have you considered manure ferntation?”
“Huh? Manure?!”
Yun Duo was bewildered.
In her limited childhood mories, her sister would carefully carry two buckets to the toilet to scoop manure…
She’s definitely experienced it before. To make manure now, it might be absolutely impossible for her.
