Suixi sweet potato contractor need not worry about digging and selling.

Original title: sweet potato industry spawns brokers to accept sweet potatoes with one call.

At noon, Luo Tumei, like the villagers, ate fast food in Tian Tou.

On the early morning of December 3, more than 40 villagers from nearby towns and villages were busily putting sweet potatoes dug out by potato diggers into boxes on the sweet potato planting ground in Yangqingyi Village, Caotan Town, Suixi County. A large truck was parked not far from the field, and five or six villagers were carrying boxes of packed sweet potatoes neatly into the car.

Luo Tu Mei packed with the villagers.

The reporter saw in Tian Tou that these people who collected sweet potatoes and carried boxes and loaded cars were convened by Luo Tumi, Jia Luozi Village, Caotan Town. Luo Tu Mei can mobilize more than 200 potato pickers at any time and can mobilize hundreds of people in more than 10 minutes.

The sweet potato industry in Suixi Port Gate, North Slope and Caotan Town has given birth to many "sweet potato brokers". He Min, a sweet potato grower and broker in Nanduhe Village, Beipo Town, said: "during the peak harvest season, more than 110 tons of sweet potatoes can be sold in one day, and an average of more than 50 tons of sweet potatoes can be sold every day throughout the year. Dealers are waiting for the goods to be loaded in Tian Tou, and if there is no foreman to summon hundreds of villagers in an instant, they will not be able to catch up with the loading of potatoes. " Luo Tu Mei is his most satisfied foreman. There are nearly 20 foremen active here, large and small, but few of them are as capable as Luo Tu Mei.

As a perennial foreman in the field, Luo Tu Mei's skin is much darker than others, and her big voice is a little hoarse. When she was middle-aged, she didn't go to the field until she was fully armed: wearing a hat, a thin flower scarf on her head and face, and a long-sleeved shirt with long trousers. "70 or 80 mu of land has been harvested for more than ten days before." Luo Tumei said, "at this rate, it will take more than a week to finish harvesting the sweet potatoes in this land."

At noon, Luo Tumei used the time to eat fast food to report the progress of collecting sweet potatoes to he Min, the sweet potato boss.

As the place of work is close to home, after finishing the housework in the nearby village, women go to the fields to collect sweet potatoes to help support the family. They are between 30 and 60 years old. They start work at about six o'clock every day, eat fast food at Tian Tou at noon, rest for an hour, and have to be busy until the evening. The wage is calculated by the day, about 80 yuan a day, a carton can hold about 60 jin of sweet potatoes, they can usually pack 30 or 40 cases a day. Most of the porters and loaders are middle-aged men, who earn about 150 yuan a day.

Luo Tu Mei does things quickly and speaks quickly. Originally, she also worked as a potato picker, but now as a foreman, she not only has to work as a foreman, to grasp the progress of potato harvesting, but also to check packing and follow up loading; she often has to ride a motorcycle to and from several nearby sweet potato planting sites to supervise and inspect, which is very responsible.
