Chapter 560: I Can't Stop Eating It
Although there are more courtyard rooms in the living area, when arranging these old people who come from afar, Zhuang Haiyang still arranges them in the resort with better living facilities. Anyway, when they got married before, they also lived once.
Another advantage of staying at a resort is that if something unexpected happens, the accommodation also has an emergency signal button. On the resort side, there is an infirmary with good medical conditions.
Equipped with this infirmary, it is also to prevent accidents and emergencies, and to have time to do some emergency treatment, so that after the follow-up ambulance arrives, the patient can be better sent to the hospital for first aid, which is also specially requested by Zhuang Haiyang.
After arranging the place for the old people to rest, Zhuang Haiyang personally drove the golf sightseeing car to pull the old people to the living area of the farm. Looking at the flowers blooming on both sides of the road, many elderly people feel that the scenery is very beautiful.
Old Man Wang, who was sitting behind Zhuang Haiyang, said with a smile: "When I came here last year, your farm looked very depressed. I haven't been here for half a year, and this farm feels like a different world!"
"Old man, this is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? It's just that, compared to last year, most of the trees transplanted on the farm have just been planted, and they do look a little depressed. Right now, it's a bit of an improvement!"
"You kid, you're really modest! What do you mean it's a little better, your farm stuff is now famous!"
"It's okay! It's okay, after all, the investment is so big, you have to find a way to earn back the cost!"
Facing Zhuang Haiyang, who looked modest, an old man behind him also laughed and said: "Your farm investment is indeed not small, but the income should not be low, right? Is it possible, do you want to earn back the cost within a year?"
As soon as these words came out, all the old people also laughed. Even if some elderly people feel that the prices of vegetables and fruits grown on the farm are indeed exaggerated. But they all know that farm things really don't have to worry about selling.
On the other hand, the farm does not charge them any fees for the ingredients that they send to them every week. If you really want to calculate the cost, even if their retirement salary is not low, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford it, and eat the vegetables and fruits supplied by the farm every day!
When I arrived at the farm living area, I didn't see any grand welcome scene, only Concubine Li and Zhuang Haiyang's family stood at the door of the courtyard to greet them. Even so, Zhuang Haiyang was still complained by the old people.
"The little concubine is still pregnant! Why let her come out! This sun is still quite poisonous!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was complained, pretended to be speechless and said: "I have no right to speak in front of her." What is she going to do, do I dare to object?"
"That's right, mother-in-law, it's okay, it's still good to walk around once in a while. It's really not good to stay at home every day. ”
By the way, you've been in the belly for a few months?"
"Two weeks, five months!"
"Well, that's okay, this time period, you really should be active. However, remember to take more supplements. ”
"Yes, it will!"
became the object of the old lady's attention, Zhuang Haiyang could only turn his attention to greeting other old men. After sitting in the courtyard for a while, the old people quickly said: "Xiaozhuang, go to the farm orchard!"
"Okay, the orchard is a little far away, do you want to take a car there?"
"No, I don't think it's a long way to go?"
"It's okay! Anyway, the battery car, it's still a little far to walk past. If you want to see any orchards, let's just stop by the roadside. At the moment, there are many ripe fruit varieties in the orchard!"
"Okay, it's up to you, we'll let you arrange. ”
It was mid-May, and many tropical fruits in Nanzhou, which is in the tropical region, began to ripen and be picked. It can be said that the farm orchard is busy during this time. The hired fruit growers have not been worried about having nothing to do recently.
The families of those comrades-in-arms who are temporary workers have also been studying and helping in the orchard recently. Fruit picking can also bring them a lot of income. In the eyes of many comrades-in-arms and their families, it is more profitable than farming.
Arriving at the orchard where the first harvest began, many old people walked into the orchard with great interest, looked at the fruits on the trees and said, "This fruit should be called jackfruit, right? I really didn't expect it to grow so much in the first year?"
"Well, it's also called a big pineapple, and these jackfruit trees planted on the farm are all about ten years old. When transplanting, the tips of the branches were also pruned. After transplanting, I chased the fertilizer a few times, and all the growth was not bad. ”
For these fruits transplanted on the farm, Zhuang Haiyang, as the owner of the farm, is naturally very clear. When purchasing these finished trees, Zhuang Haiyang signed the appropriation. Although the cost is not small, it still seems to be worth the price.
The technician who manages the jackfruit tree is actually very confused. Before these trees were transplanted, they didn't produce many jackfruit each year. Who would have thought that after transplanting, it would usher in the full fruit period.
The most shocking and delightful thing for the technicians is that after cutting off some jackfruit that is not in good condition, the remaining jackfruit on the tree is actually very good in terms of size and shape. Some are ripe and are also loved by diners.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to appreciate and introduce, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "Old man, are you interested in tasting the taste of this fruit? Because it is not ripe, I don't seem to have had time to mail it to you before." This fruit tastes good, too!"
"Don't bother! If you want to eat, it's not too late to eat when you go back!"
"It's okay! Anyway, there are a lot of us, so pick a familiar one and try it first. Eating at home is different from eating in the orchard!"
"Okay, pick one, and we'll try it." ”
After searching around the orchard, he found a jackfruit with soft and ripe skin and not too big a jackfruit, and Zhuang Haiyang personally picked it. Then let people find some disposable gloves and peel off the fruit directly.
When the jackfruit is opened, a fruit-specific fragrance instantly reaches the tip of everyone's nose. The smell of this fragrance alone made the old people nod their heads and say, "It seems that the quality of this fruit is still very good!"
"Old man, do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing! Try it, this is a wet wrapped jackfruit, it tastes very good!"
The old people who wore disposable gloves didn't say anything polite to Zhuang Haiyang, and they picked a pulp and tasted it. As Zhuang Haiyang said, the taste of this fruit is really good.
At least some of the old people who have eaten this fruit are very approving: "I really don't say that this tastes good, it is indeed much better than what I have eaten before." It seems that this batch of fruits is afraid that it will be sold again. ”
In fact, dozens of jackfruit that were ripe before were snapped up by those high-end restaurants. The manager of the resort complained a lot about me for this!
Listening to Zhuang Haiyang's witty words, the old people also laughed. When they came here the last time, they already knew that the resort also had Zhuang Haiyang's investment, and he was also the major shareholder of the resort.
Fortunately, the old people also agreed: "Good things must also know how to share." This is the first year that your farm's orchard produces fruit, and you also need to open up your reputation. Only by being recognized by the market and by customers can this business be long-lasting. ”
"Thank you, old man, for your advice! Actually, that's what I thought. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhu in the capital and the others have complained about me a lot, engaging in regional discrimination, and giving them too little fruit share! You say, I am not wronged!"
After causing the old man to laugh again, Wang Lao also nodded and said, "Indeed, with the quality of these fruits and vegetables on your farm, there is indeed no need to rush to expand outward. It will be easier to make a name for yourself in Nanzhou first, and then sell it out.
The most important thing is that the quality of your fruits, even in the international high-end fruit market, I believe it has a strong international competitiveness. Others say that the fruit on your farm is expensive, but you can put it in the international fruit, and your fruit is really not expensive. ”
As a well-known old expert in China, Wang Lao has naturally tasted some imported high-end fruits. In Wang Lao's opinion, the taste and quality of those fruits are indeed inferior to the fruits produced in Zhuangyang Orchard.
If we don't do the domestic market and all the fruits are sold abroad, I believe that Zhuang Haiyang's income will be more. But Wang Lao also knew that it was not that there were no international fruit merchants to purchase, but that Zhuang Haiyang did not agree at all.
The reason is that Zhuang Haiyang has promised that the fruits of the first two years of the farm will only focus on the domestic high-end fruit market. As for the international market, it may not be considered until the end of the second phase of the project.
It seems that this kind of decision is very stupid, but these old men feel that Zhuang Haiyang is actually very smart. First run the domestic market, and then find a way to enter the foreign market. In that case, even if the advance fails, Zhuang Haiyang will not lose too much.
Secondly, the orchard seems to be quite a small area, and there are many varieties of fruits that can be planted. Each fruit is allocated, and the amount produced each year is not much. If the second phase of the project is completed, the planting area of the orchard will naturally be at least doubled.
Correspondingly, the amount of fruit that can be produced on the farm each year will also increase a lot. At that time, the farm can also ensure a certain amount of high-end fruits to impact the foreign high-end fruit market.
Steady and steady, first lay a solid foundation, and then think about expanding outward. In fact, this is also a sound way of doing business. If you really want to make money, you can book farm fruits to international contractors, and in the short term, you can make money and become famous.
In the long run, the market is monopolized by contractors. This is also extremely bad for the farm. Now the sales model implemented by Zhuang Haiyang is still a very safe and smart choice in the eyes of the old people.
Take the old men with you and start a tour of each fruit plantation. When they returned to the living quarters, many of them felt that they didn't have to eat dinner. The fruit they had eaten in the orchard had already made them feel full.
Hearing the news, the lady group who did not go with them naturally criticized. Seeing the fresh fruits that they brought back, they just picked from the trees, and they also loved to eat them.
In the words of the old people, after taking a bite of these fruits, you can't stop at all!
