The next thing is simple, Fujiwara-kun won the princess's great favor, and he talked to Taro Kawaguchi about something in private. Out of gratitude, not only will I order Taro Kawaguchi's black-skinned watermelon for a long time in the future, but I will also help promote it in his circle.

The local tyrants he knows are not only from Japan, but also from other countries in the world, such as the oil prince of Saudi Arabia, the aristocrats of Europe, and so on.

Everyone takes what he needs, and everyone rejoices.

Before the party was over, Taro Kawaguchi contacted Chen Baoli and asked to transport a batch of more than 20 black-skinned watermelons within two days.

He sold it to Fujiwara-kun, and a watermelon exceeded 50,000 yuan, which can be described as madness.

And Fujiwara-kun doesn't even bother to bargain, the world of local tyrants is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

……

In Zhangjiazhai, Chen Baoli was mentioning this matter to Zhang Fan.

"Find twenty ripe watermelons, you should still be able to find them. Zhang Fan said with a deep groan.

He also goes to see strawberries and watermelons a few times a day, and he knows what the situation is. In fact, if it takes another ten or eight days, the black-skinned watermelon will be more ripe on the first trip, and it is time to actually pick it.

Uncle They didn't know when they came home, and when they heard that the landing price of one of those watermelons was about 4,000, they were all stunned and lost their speech.

No wonder, Xiaofan is reluctant to grow vegetables.

Isn't this obvious? Growing vegetables is hard, and the profit cannot be compared with the fruit, and if it were him, I am afraid it would be the same choice.

However, they didn't know that Chen Baoli changed hands to the Japanese for tens of thousands of yuan, and the Japanese sold it for tens of thousands.

There are tens of thousands of watermelons in one place, and the people in the entire Zhangjiazhai can't believe it, which is really appalling.

How much do you have to account for those 20 acres of watermelon fields? They don't even have the courage to calculate.

"Brother Zhang, in my opinion, what cucumbers and cucumbers do you plant? Your dozens of acres of land, with an annual income of 20 or 30 million, will definitely not be able to run away. Chen Baoli said bewildermently to Zhang Fan's uncle.

Zhang Fan's uncle glared at him and said unconvinced: "I'm not bad at growing cucumbers." ”

He didn't say anything angry, his family's melons and vegetables are the best in the village, and the price given by Manager Liang is high. More importantly, Manager Liang values him very much, and this attention makes him greatly satisfied.

All the villagers in the entire Zhangjiazhai, except for his nephew Zhang Fan, who is more profitable than him?

Chen Baoli discussed with him, and tomorrow he would go to the melon field to pick out more than 20 of the best black-skinned watermelons and hand them over to deal with Taro Kawaguchi.

Then, the uncle began to tell Zhang Fan about the New Year, and their family had not prepared anything. This year is special, it is a turning point for their Yang family, so they want to live a better life.

Not only their family, but also the entire Zhangjiazhai people have such an idea.

On the side of the village committee, the old village chief even discussed, wanting to invite a troupe to come over and sing a big opera, which was lively and lively. In the past, the villagers of Zhangjiazhai were very envious of other villages, and on the day of the Chinese New Year, the children were going to see a tiger show or something.

"Don't be in a hurry to do these New Year's goods, right?" Zhang Fan said.

In fact, for them, there are several very important things to do during the New Year, the first of which is to do New Year's goods.

Purchasing New Year's goods is an indispensable priority for ordinary Chinese people, including eating, wearing, wearing, using, playing, offering, giving New Year's gifts, dry, fresh, raw, cooked, collectively known as "New Year's goods", and the process of purchasing New Year's goods is called "New Year's goods".

This has become a custom, and he has had such a shopping spree since the Qing Dynasty.

In the two or three hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, the capital was a mixture of Han and Manchu people, northerners and southerners. Especially among the upper classes, the bureaucracy, the exchange of customs was more common. The Manchu and northerners deliberately learn the diet and daily life of the Suzhou and Hangzhou people, and the Han people deliberately learn the etiquette and official style of the Manchu people, which is mixed into a special "Beijing flavor" from all aspects. The complex New Year's goods are also a reflection of this social life.

At that time, the New Year's goods, such as according to the major categories, can be divided into six categories: diet, clothing, sun and moon, superstition, play, and decoration. In the diet, the most common goods such as pigs, mutton, chickens and ducks are the most common; Venison, pheasant, frozen fish, etc. are all Kanto goods from outside Shanhaiguan; And water-milled rice cakes, sugar rice cakes, cold bamboo shoots, magnolia slices, etc., are things in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are a lot of daily necessities in the New Year's goods, including paper, bamboo, porcelain, etc. from the south; Superstitious goods are the bulk of the old New Year's goods, such as incense sticks, tin foil, woodblock printed door gods, stove kings, flowers for the Buddha, nectar offerings, etc., among which the tin foil of folding "ingots" and "spindles" are all from the south.

There are even more things to play with, children's and adults' toys, regardless of whether they are Manchu or Han in the north and south.

A few decades ago, the material life in society was not rich enough. New Year's goods may be a table of rare good meals; New Year's goods are new clothes that you have tried on for a long time and finally bought; New Year's goods are the red, green, and green fruit candy in children's pockets; and New Year's goods are small felt hats that grandmothers have been reluctant to buy.

Nowadays, the market is extremely rich in goods, the concept of New Year's goods has become difficult to define, and doing New Year's goods is also becoming a kind of ritual, making people feel the arrival of the New Year in the joy of busyness, and conveying the warmth of the pulse in the trivial but warm ceremony. New Year's goods have also become a good mood for themselves after releasing the impulse to consume, and the New Year's goods reflect the spiritual pleasure after the material life is well-off.

Some people say that the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker. Perhaps, he is referring to the steaming of every family slaughtering pigs and sheep, and the ecstasy of a family visiting a temple and buying what they have been looking forward to for a year.

But in fact, in the countryside, the flavor of the New Year is still well preserved.

Like them in Zhangjiazhai, the New Year is approaching, and the children are happy, not only because they don't have to go to school during the New Year, they can play during the holidays; not only because they can receive red envelopes from adults during the New Year, so that their private money can be bulging; but also because the New Year is lively in their impression, and they like that kind of festive atmosphere.

Adults will be a little worried, every time the Chinese New Year is a big shrinkage of the wallet, which also means that one year older, life lost a year.

In previous years, everyone was poor, and when they bought a new set of clothes for themselves, they had to cut half a sky-high price, and they were not very willing to spend money. This year, everyone has made a lot of money with Zhang Fan, so there is no need to wronged themselves and their families.

Therefore, since a few days ago, some anxious villagers began to use cars to pull back the New Year's goods, all kinds of items are very miscellaneous, some for their own use, and some for visiting relatives in the future.

"If you buy it early, you really have to wait for two or three days before and after the Chinese New Year, and there will be no people on the street at all. Uncle reminded.

It used to be like that, and the idlers of the whole town ran out into the streets for two or three days. The already crowded streets are instantly impassable, and whoever drives to the street with water in their brains will not be able to get out without half a day.

"Then wait for Xiao Xin to come back in two days, and then we will go to procure. Zhang Fan nodded.

However, Zhang Fan and the others don't know, don't say wait for two or three days, just today, there are obviously more people on the street, and from nine o'clock in the morning, the streets are full of people.

"Tonight, tomorrow night, I'll write down what I'm going to buy, and then you can buy according to the list." "Uncle is not worried about Zhang Fan and Zhang Xin's girl.

Two young people, who can't remember some customs, are always lost.

Therefore, he had to write down what he was going to buy. Otherwise, you may forget to buy what you should have bought, and pull back what you shouldn't.

Zhang Laoba's family in their village is to tell the young men in the family to go to procure, and there are a lot of leaks that should be bought, such as the materials to be used for food during the New Year, but they should not be bought, like those fireworks cannons, pulled a small half car back, and Zhang Laoba was so angry that he trembled.

"No problem, then uncle, you can just write it down. "It's quite convenient to have your own car.

After speaking, Zhang Fan turned to Chen Baoli and asked, "When will you go back for the New Year?"

"Go back, don't you want to go back, this year in your village, welcome?" Chen Baoli and his wife discussed, this year the family came to Zhangjiazhai for the festival to relive the feeling of the New Year in the countryside.

In addition, it is also very convenient for the wife to go back to her parents' house on the second day of the new year for the New Year.

"Uh, if you like it. ”

The aunt said: "That's good, it's very lively." ”

……

The next day, Zhang Fan and Chen Baoli came to the melon field and began to pick watermelons, which also attracted some onlookers.

These watermelons are about to be exported to Japan, and the news cannot be hidden, whether it is villagers or tourists, they know about it. And the price is against the sky, a ten-pound watermelon, the landing price is three or four thousand yuan.

"Horror, I can't afford to eat it, strawberries can still be tasted, just buy less. ”

"Are the Japanese all wronged?"

"The purchase price is so expensive, how much do you have to sell it for in Japan?"

……

Chen Baoli shouted to the workers: "Be careful, take it lightly, polish it well before moving back, and deduct wages if you can't do it well." ”

To treat their own workers, it is not enough to just increase wages, but to pay equal attention to grace, rewards and punishments. Like Zhang Fan, he felt that it would not work, and he was only generous to the workers under him.

Hearing this shout, the onlookers outside understood in seconds, no wonder it was so expensive, even the surface of the melon skin had to be polished, it was the legendary packaging?

In today's society, we really pay too much attention to packaging and surface.

Take moon cakes as a matter, the cost of cakes for a few months is only a few yuan, and if there is one more box, it will be sold for dozens, more than 100, or even hundreds of yuan.

Some tourists who are sensitive to numbers began to roughly calculate the output value of Zhang Fan's 20 acres of watermelon land.

After their rough calculations, a string of terrifying numbers made the people around them too scared to speak. According to the yield of 10,000 catties per mu, the income of these 20 acres of black-skinned watermelons is more than 10 million.

"In the past, I have also eaten domestic black-skinned watermelon, which is not valuable, and it doesn't cost a pound to eat it in the melon field. ”

"It's different, just like those strawberries, they should be the best in the world. ”

"Hey, who wants to try it? Fight it and crowdfund it. Someone asked.
