Chen Baoli mainly told Zhang Fan that their black-skinned watermelon attracted the attention of Japan, and Taro Kawaguchi was very excited to tell him. That kind of watermelon, he wants as much as he wants, and the price is the same as their authentic black-skinned watermelon.

"Then, after the year, we have to expand the planting area of black-skinned watermelon. Zhang Fan said.

He prefers watermelon to strawberries. Growing watermelons is much less effort-saving than growing strawberries, and the benefits are no lower than strawberries, or even higher.

You have to know that in Japan, it is quite exaggerated to say that a kilogram of authentic black-skinned watermelon is more than 100 US dollars, that is, more than 700 yuan.

A watermelon is calculated according to five kilograms, and the sales price is as high as three or four thousand yuan.

This is still a normal price, and the highest watermelon sold for more than 30,000 yuan last year, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.

Then, even if it is the purchase price, Zhang Fan can sell it here for a unit price of about 100 yuan, and a watermelon landing is 500 or 600 yuan.

Zhang Fan's black-skinned watermelon yield per mu has reached an astonishing more than 10,000 catties, and the output value of one mu has reached more than 500,000 yuan, which is a very terrifying thing to say.

"It must be planted on a large scale, and you can plant as much as you can, and you are welcome. Kill the black-skinned watermelons in Japan, and the black-skinned watermelons they produce in a year are only so little. Chen Baoli said happily.

Zhang Fan is not very optimistic: "I can't say well, once we look at exports, it should have a great impact on the price of black-skinned watermelons, right? ”

Chen Baoli shook his head: "You still underestimate the consumption power of this world, and the number of rich people in this world." Our black-skinned watermelons are even more delicious than their authentic Japanese ones. ”

He made it clear to Zhang Fan that Taro Kawaguchi did not plan to put too much into the civilian market, and wanted to monopolize the world supply of top-quality black-skinned watermelons in the future.

I have to say that the Japanese is still quite ambitious, and he is not afraid of suffering losses when cooperating with such a person.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't make less money, as for what the other party does, it's not for him to consider.

Zhang Fan didn't want to speak.

……

Two days ago, when Chen Baoli arrived in Japan with the black-skinned watermelon, Taro Kawaguchi tasted it first.

After tasting it, he immediately realized that it would be another killer weapon that could be in his hands. He didn't go out immediately, but took a part of the black-skinned watermelon for testing.

When he got the test results, he was shocked that this black-skinned watermelon from China had two or three times more nutrients than their native black-skinned watermelon.

Therefore, he called Chen Baoli as soon as possible, kept in touch, and everyone agreed secretly.

These black-skinned watermelons, he is ready to make good use of them, and he has the luxury market of the world's top watermelons in his hands. In the past two days, he has been busy selling to various local tyrants in the world, giving them regular supplies, and he doesn't plan to go through too many fruit supermarket channels to sell.

Selling to the rich will always be more profitable than the ordinary market.

Taro Kawaguchi still had two watermelons in his hand, and he didn't want to open them.

Today, he is going to a local tyrant's party and is going to send it over.

It was a party of the prince of a consortium, and the people present were all young people, with the most girls of various styles, and even the popular stars could be seen shuttling, all dressed so coolly.

"Thank you, Fujiwara-kun, for your kind invitation. He respectfully came with a ninety-degree bow.

In Japan, bowing is a very important etiquette.

Japanese people often bow when they meet. Generally speaking, people bow to each other at 3O degrees and 45 degrees, and the depth of the bow and bend is different, and the meaning of the bow is different, and the Japanese bow at different angles indicates different degrees.

For example, a bow of 90° with the highest etiquette is a special thank you and a special apology.

The 45° bow is generally used for first meetings, but it is also used to welcome customers by waiters in restaurants and shopping malls.

The 30° bow is generally used to greet colleagues, such as when meeting colleagues in the morning, and can also be used between close friends. When men bow, their hands are naturally lowered on the sides of their trousers, and when they show respect to each other, they often place their left hand on their right hand and bow in front of them, especially women.

In fact, the first appearance of bowing in Japan was in the Yayoi period in Japan, when bowing was a kind of respect for people of high status by ordinary people, who knelt on the ground and hung their heads, so bowing at that time should be called a sign of obedience and obedience.

Bowing as a greeting etiquette was developed in the Asuka and Nara periods, with reference to the introduced Chinese etiquette, and a form of bowing suitable for identity was formulated.

The act of "bowing" is to stretch one's neck out to the other person, that is, to show the weakest and most important part of one's body to the other person, and if someone hits it, it may die.

This gives rise to the idea of giving one's life to the other person by bowing. In addition, when bowing, the hands are placed on top of each other, indicating that they will not cause harm to the other person.

Just like our usual eating and drinking, the Japanese regard bowing as a habit of life, and in the eyes of the Japanese, bowing is a daily routine, and they have been taught to bow since childhood.

This is a Japanese attitude to life, a belief in life, and with bowing, their life is complete, orderly, and Japanese.

Some might say that this is the same as kneeling in Korea.

Actually, it's still a little different. Both are cultures learned from China, but Korean kneeling is a bit deformed. Of course, the culture of different countries is different, and we can't say how bad people are, after all, everyone's ideology is different.

Fujiwara-kun just nodded slightly, he didn't plan to say too much to Taro Kawaguchi, his identity was different, and he talked too much.

Taro Kawaguchi hurriedly presented his gift, and a waiter quickly took it away, and opened the scene for everyone to taste. Black-skinned watermelons are a luxury in the eyes of ordinary people, but Fujiwara-kun doesn't look at them very much.

The black-skinned watermelons he let people reserve, or the best black-skinned watermelons, have many survived and are preserved at the most suitable temperature, and he is not worried that the black-skinned watermelons will not be eaten.

He glanced at Taro Kawaguchi, and he was not interested in saying a word, knowing that the guy had mixed in and wanted to sell products.

Today, he was in a good mood, so he didn't rush people. Moreover, today their Japanese royal princess is also invited, and there are some things that cannot be done too badly.

At this moment, the noble princess appeared on the scene, attracting almost all the attention.

Most of the women of the Japanese imperial family are not very beautiful, but today's princess is an exception.

And, strictly speaking, as royalty, it is almost impossible to be present on such occasions. After all, most of these young people's parties are not very healthy.

But this Sadako princess is a special existence, the daughter of a very influential prince in their country. Their family is in the midst of royalty, and today is a good opportunity.

"Welcome to our lovely Princess Sadako. He was the first to speak.

As he spoke, he went down and took a box from a maid, a gift he had prepared for the princess. He had learned what this Sadako princess liked.

Chinese carvings are her favorite, and it is said that the princess's carvings can be exhibited.

The one in his hand is a red coral from the deep sea, which was carved by China's top carvers and took a lot of effort.

The red coral has a pleasant color and a smooth texture. Red coral is an organic gemstone that grows at depths of 100 to 2,000 meters away from humans. Along with pearls and amber, it is listed as one of the three major organic gemstones, and is also listed as one of the seven treasures in the Oriental Buddhist scriptures, and has been regarded as a rich and auspicious thing since ancient times.

Fujiwara-kun is not too interested in gemstones, but since Princess Sadako likes it, he is patient to understand and love it.

Natural red coral is formed by the accumulation of polyps, which grow very slowly and cannot be renewed, while red coral only grows in the three major straits, the Taiwan Strait, the Japan Strait, and the Baltic Strait, which are limited by the sea area, so red coral is extremely precious.

The jewelry made of it is very popular with collectors, and the value of fine red coral is very fast, and it is valued by collectors.

In ancient China, red coral was regarded as an auspicious and happy thing, representing noble power, so it was also called "Ruibao", a symbol of happiness and eternity.

And the emperor of Japan also regarded red coral as his national quintessence. From the perspective of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, red coral has a lofty status.

Nowadays, the number of precious red corals is scarce and hard to come by, especially coral trees that are more than two feet tall. Nowadays, the importance of corals is also being recognized. Due to its rarity and non-renewable nature, coral is highly collectible.

In order to get this top-grade red coral, Fujiwara-kun not only spent a lot of money, but also suffered a lot.

Princess Sadako is not a person who puts on a show, she has a wide range of friends, and she also has her own way of getting along with these sons, and she never refuses gifts from others.

Someone once said that Princess Sadako was simply disgraced to the Japanese royal family.

Sadako opened the gift box, and there was a lifelike carving lying inside, and her face was like a flower, which made Fujiwara-kun beside her look distracted for a while, and secretly decided in her heart that she must marry this princess back.

"Chinese carvings are so beautiful. Princess Sadako said.

Fujiwara-kun raised his thumb and complimented: "Awesome, you can see at a glance that it is a treasure of China." ”

Sadako was much more enthusiastic about Fujiwara-kun, explaining: "This kind of carving, only Chinese masters in the world can do it, they are really amazing." ”

She came with great interest and instilled some Chinese carving culture in everyone.

A long history, exquisite skills of various sculpture crafts, such as ivory carving, jade carving, wood carving, stone carving, clay carving, face carving, bamboo carving, bone carving, carved inkstone, etc., is a precious artistic heritage in Chinese arts and crafts. Ivory carving, jade carving and other crafts are expensive materials and very fine workmanship, so they gradually change from practical products to appreciative products, so they are called "special crafts".

It can be seen that she really likes Chinese culture and admires Chinese carving culture.

"Look at this knife technique, do you see it? It's amazing!" Sadako leaned over.

Originally, I felt bored and depressed when I heard this, but Fujiwara-kun suddenly smelled the fragrance of the princess, and the whole person was full of energy and approached little by little.

Suddenly, he found that it was also a good choice to learn more about Chinese culture, and for the sake of the princess, how boring and boring it was!

"Well, it can be seen that this knife technique is absolutely unparalleled in the world. Fujiwara-kun praised shamelessly.

In fact, he didn't understand any knife technique at all, and he couldn't appreciate it. If it was those knife techniques that fought and killed, he might still be a little interested in watching.

Regardless of whether Fujiwara-kun really understands it or not, Sadako still impatiently introduced.

Knife technique is like the brushstrokes in calligraphy and painting, which can play a role in strengthening and enriching the artistic effect of the work. The reason why the beautiful brushstrokes are formed is the expression of the mastery of the technique.

When copying a good painting, people often find it most difficult than the brushstrokes, because the brushstrokes are the product of the combination of the artist's mind and skill, and they are something that is difficult to embody in any imitation.

Therefore, only by mastering the skills and constantly accumulating experience can you achieve the ideal and truly belong to your own knife technique. Lines and carvings, smooth and rough, concave and convex, arranged with a round knife, cut with a flat knife...... The charm of the artistic language they express is unattainable by sculptures of other materials.

In short, the knife technique is a technical technique used by the sculptor to embody his own creative ideas, and it is also a means to vividly reveal the content of the art.

The turns, setbacks, concave and convex, and ups and downs of the knife are all in order to make the work more vivid and natural, so as to fully reflect the material beauty of wood carving and reflect the rich carving beauty.

People who do not know the true meaning of wood carving art, when using a knife, they do not use a knife to write, but to paint and make a contrivance, and then they are afraid of carving badly, and the result is that the knife is rigid and ingenious, and the fun of wood carving can not be carved. Therefore, it is necessary to carve more, practice more, ponder more, and become familiar and perfect in order to form your own artistic language and artistic style.

Hearing what Princess Sadako said so much, Fujiwara-kun suddenly patted his ass and said, "Princess, you know so much, amazing!"

The princess was a little embarrassed by his praise, she just appreciated, not carved, once worshipped a master, but the master told her that she had no talent, which made her discouraged for a long time.

"There aren't many of them! By the way, this kind of carving is definitely the product of the top master in the carving world, do you know such a master?" Princess Sadako asked with great interest.

Fujiwara-kun was overjoyed, feeling that he had narrowed the distance with the princess. There are many suitors for this princess, and there are those with higher status and better family backgrounds than him.

He felt that as long as he learned some Chinese culture well, he had a very good chance of getting in touch with the princess.

"Know, he is an old man who rarely makes a move. This time, it was reluctantly carved for the sake of my sincere face. If you have time, how about I accompany you to visit that senior?"

The princess actually understood this guy's purpose, but she just couldn't refuse this opportunity to meet China's top carving master.

"That's too much trouble for you, Fujiwara-kun. Thank you, I loved your gift. ”

She could tell that it was a piece of fine red coral.

It was still a live piece of red coral, which was very rare.

There are usually three types of corals, dead, inverted, and live.

Dead corals have completely stopped growing, and the degree of damage is severe, and there are many cavities.

Inverted corals have basically stopped growing, and the degree of damage is still small.

Living corals, which can continue to grow on the seabed, have a thin film on the surface, and are the most valuable of the red corals.

The most precious of red corals is the crimson color that is found in the Sea of Japan and the Taiwan Strait.

Moreover, the heavier it is, the more precious it is, and Hu has a good sense of weight, and generally putting it in the palm of the hand will give people a sense of heaviness that does not match its delicate feeling.

Compared to other suitors, Fujiwara-kun is indeed the most attentive. Moreover, according to rumors, this loser's character has a good reputation among the rich second generation.

That's why she agreed to come to the party.

"If you like it, if you like. ”

The others didn't bother, this is Fujiwara-kun's territory, and everyone knows that Fujiwara-kun is pursuing the princess. If anyone destroys it, it may be difficult to get along in Japan in the future.

At this time, Taro Kawaguchi, who had watched the scene on the side, had an idea and held two pieces of watermelon to offer his courtesy.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is carefully prepared for you by Fujiwara-kun. ”

He is still good at talking, and he puts the credit on Fujiwara-kun, only in this way will he not anger Fujiwara-kun.

Whether it was Fujiwara-kun or Princess Sadako, they were obviously stunned. Fujiwara-kun's eyes flashed, and he didn't get angry on the spot when he saw that the other party pressed the credit on him.

In addition to being keen on Chinese culture, Princess Sadako is also a snack, she once aspired to eat all over the world, and when she arrived in China, she stayed in a certain city for a month.

As a result, she is sensitive to a variety of flavors.

When the watermelon was placed in front of her, she faintly smelled the fragrance of the watermelon. Looking at the cut noodles of the watermelon, I felt even more appetizing, so I couldn't help but save face and took a piece.

"Fujiwara-kun, thank you so much for doing this. ”

Fujiwara-kun's face turned bright, and he also showed a rare smile of appreciation to Taro Kawaguchi.

"You're welcome, I'm honored to serve the princess. ”

This time, it was Fujiwara-kun who gave face and took a piece to taste.

When they take a bite, the watermelon juice flows from their mouths into their esophagus, and the refreshing sweetness of the cold watermelon takes over their taste buds. The princess couldn't help but close her eyes and become intoxicated, it was the best watermelon she had ever tasted.

Fujiwara-kun immediately ordered: "Put those watermelons away, and then move out of our inventory to entertain some guests." ”

Then, he looked at Taro Kawaguchi with a little more attention: "Kawaguchi-kun, we'll talk in detail later." ”

Taro Kawaguchi made another standard ninety-degree bow: "Hi!"

At this time, Princess Sadako opened her eyes, and her two eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and she saw that Fujiwara-kun next to her almost melted her heart, and she actually had the feeling of first love.

"Fujiwara-kun, your black-skinned watermelon is so good, do you still have it? I want to bring some back to my father to taste. ”

Without waiting for Fujiwara-kun to answer, Taro Kawaguchi preemptively said: "Princess Palace, this is a special black-skinned watermelon specially imported from China by Fujiwara-kun, which is not currently available on the market, but Fujiwara-kun has spent a lot of energy." That's all for the watermelon for the time being, and if you want to eat it, you can only ask Fujiwara-kun to buy it from China. ”

Fujiwara-kun was very satisfied with Taro Kawaguchi, and he didn't take credit, so he didn't care if he interjected and spoke.

He waved his hand: "No problem, I'll send it to you in two days." ”

Taro Kawaguchi was overjoyed and relieved, and finally opened this opening and entered the upper class.
