Chapter 125 The Captain Agrees to Song Cenyue Buying a Rice Mill

"You want to buy a rice mill?!" Zhang Shengjin was surprised and suddenly thought of the scene where Song Cenyue and Liang Liangduo had chatted together before. A guess came to his mind: Could it be that when Song Cenyue was chatting with Liang Liangduo before, it was not just a casual chat, but she asked him about the rice mill?

Zhang Shengjin had previously seen Song Cenyue and Liang Liangduo walking and chatting together, but due to the distance, he did not hear what they were talking about.

Zhang Shengjin did not ask the question that he had in mind. He asked Song Cenyue and Liang Liangduo about their previous conversation and whether she had asked him about the rice mill. This was not the point. The point was that Song Cenyue wanted to buy a rice mill.

Zhang Shengjin thought seriously about Song Cenyue's plan to buy a rice mill. Song Cenyue said that if they bought a rice mill, they could also grind public grain, and it would be free. This would naturally be a good thing for the production team, and a very good thing.

When it came time to mill the public grain, the time was very tight because the authorities had to pay the rice within a certain period of time and the rice had to be good quality. They had to mill the rice day and night. Liang Liangduo always complained about being exhausted and was always worried that the machine would break down if it kept milling rice without a rest.

If she were to buy a rice mill, it would be much easier to mill the public grain, and half of the public grain could be allocated to her, helping to reduce the burden on the production team.

As for what she said, she would also grind grain privately and help the people in the production team to grind rice. This would naturally take away the income of the production team's rice mill and snatch away some of the production team's business.

But she bought a rice mill to help the production team produce public grain, which was a great help to the production team. She should be rewarded so that she can make money, otherwise she would have bought the rice mill in vain to help the production team.

Anyway, the production team's rice mill has already paid for itself and made money, so they are not worried about her "stealing their business".

After Zhang Shengjin made up his mind, he immediately nodded and smiled at Song Cenyue, "Of course, just like you said, this can help the production team, and you can also make some money, which is good for both you and the production team! Why not!"

The captain agreed, that's great! Song Cenyue raised the corners of her lips and smiled happily.

"Girl Cen Yue, you are such a creative kid. You even thought of buying a rice mill. It can not only help the production team, but you can also make some money. You have a really good brain!" Zhang Shengjin praised.

"Uncle tells you that this rice mill can make money. It can pay back the investment in one year, and it will be all profit after that. Although you can grind public grain like the rice mill in the production team, it is free, but the time for grinding public grain is not much, mainly concentrated in the autumn when the millet is harvested...

Because the government stipulated that we had to pay public grain after harvesting millet in autumn, our production team would pay public grain in autumn. The production teams in our area had to thresh the rice before handing it over, so we would start threshing the rice after harvesting millet and drying it...

Because the time limit for delivering grain given by the higher authorities was fixed, all the public grain had to be harvested within half a month. That was to say, after harvesting the public grain, the rest of the time could be used to help the production team harvest private grain and collect money.

Although the millet harvest here has always been poor, each family can still get some grain every year. When the team members distribute grain, both fine grains and coarse grains are distributed once a year, and rice is only distributed once a year...

Many families were afraid that they would not be able to thresh all the millet at once, as they would eat more when they saw too much rice. Therefore, they did not dare to thresh all the millet they were allocated at once, and they threshed it in several batches. Therefore, people were threshing grain throughout the year, but they would thresh more when they were just allocated millet, as that was the peak season for rice mills.

The peak season is usually after we get the public grain. During the peak season, there are 20 to 30 people queuing up to get rice. Sometimes there are 40 to 50 people, and sometimes there are 60 to 70 people... The peak season usually lasts for half a month, and we can earn more than 100 yuan in half a month."

People in the city think that people in the countryside only pay public grain once, and that is rice. They don’t know that the so-called public grain is not only rice, but also corn, potatoes, etc.

In autumn, rice is harvested and paid once.

The corn is ripe and can be eaten, and it must be handed in when it is harvested.

The same goes for potatoes. Once the potatoes are ready to be eaten and dug out of the ground, one has to pay the public grain tax again and hand over the potatoes.

Life is really not easy for farmers, they have to pay grain taxes several times a year.

After Zhang Shengjin sighed in his heart, he continued to tell Song Cenyue about the rice mill: "After the peak season, I can still receive an average of about 30 cents a day, so in a year, I can earn more than 200 yuan, which will pay back the money I spent on the rice mill. A rice mill is more than 200 yuan...

The rice mill in our production team cost 283.5 yuan. I remember that we paid for the investment in just one year after we bought it. "

Although I don't know how much she has asked Liang Liangduo, I have to tell her everything I know about the rice mill. After all, she has always been said to be a family with the Zhang family.

"Thank you uncle for telling me so much... Uncle, from what you said, this rice mill is quite profitable. It will pay back in one year, and all the rest after that will be profit. I can make more than two hundred every year!" Song Cenyue was truly grateful to Zhang Shengjin for telling her so many details without hiding anything.

The investment was recovered in one year, and the profit was more than two hundred every year thereafter. Although more than two hundred is nothing in modern times, and it can even be said to be very little, it was a lot of money at that time.

I can earn more than two hundred yuan a year, which is pretty good.

"It's very profitable to earn more than 200 yuan a year!" Zhang Shengjin smiled and sighed, "I thought that this rice mill would pay for itself in one year, and it would be very profitable to earn more than 200 yuan a year. I wanted to buy another rice mill to reduce the burden of the production team when it was harvesting public grain. When harvesting public grain, we had to rush, and one rice mill was always too busy. I was always worried that I couldn't harvest it in time to pay the public grain...

But the production team was too poor. Although a rice mill could help the production team earn more than 200 yuan a year, the production team had too many places to spend money. Such a large production team had to spend a lot of money a year, and it was impossible to save more than 200 yuan to buy another rice mill. "Zhang Shengjin's face was full of helplessness.

Everyone only sees that he is the team leader who is in charge of a production team and has power and prestige. But as the saying goes, one does not know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until one becomes the head of a household. The same is true for the team leader. Only after one becomes the team leader do one know how difficult it is to be the team leader.

Like him, because their production team was poor, they were always short of money and often worried about money.

Song Cenyue looked at Zhang Shengjin, who had a helpless look on his face and a hint of worry between his brows, and thought that the team leader wanted another rice mill, so why not wait until the college entrance examination was resumed, and after she passed the entrance examination and left here, she would give the rice mill she bought to the production team.

Anyway, it will take a few years for the college entrance examination to be resumed. The rice mill has already paid back the investment and made a profit in the past few years. According to calculations, I should be able to make 500 yuan by the time the college entrance examination is resumed.

I made 500 yuan, and I didn't feel bad about giving the rice mill to the production team...

No! Song Cenyue suddenly remembered something and immediately shook her head in her heart to deny this newly-conceived idea.

The rice mill cannot be given to the production team. Don't forget that rice can be grown in the space, and the rice mill is needed to husk the rice. Even if the college entrance examination is resumed in the future and you leave the countryside, you will still need the rice mill yourself.

If you want to help the production team, you can think of other ways, such as repairing more tractors and cars, and earning more money to share with the production team. In this way, the production team will have money, and the team leader can buy whatever he wants.

But I don’t know when I’ll see a tractor or car break down so she can go and repair it and earn some money…

If only I could have it today!

Soon she discovered that when this person was lucky, whatever he wanted would come true, and she was obviously very lucky...
