Lin Qiu returned to the office after class, and the math teacher in the same class, the head teacher, Ruan Mianmian, pulled her to her desk, "Lin Qiu, come and taste the new bayberry, it's very sweet." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Now that the bayberry is ripe, doesn't the bayberry have to wait until around the Dragon Boat Festival?" I have the impression that most bayberry is sold around the Dragon Boat Festival, and now even if there is bayberry at this time, it is very expensive, "Is this bayberry expensive?" ”

"This is early-maturing bayberry, which was very expensive in previous years, and this year it is about the same price as eight dimes a pound and meat." Teacher Ruan said with a smile, she thought that this year's bayberry is so cheap, and those who love to eat bayberry are blessed, "Our local bayberry ripens half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival, and I am afraid that we will have to wait for another half a month to eat it." ”

Lin Qiu nodded, Lin Qiu looked at the bayberry in Teacher Ruan's bag, all of them were red and purple, red and black, round and full, and he just wanted to take a bite and feel its deliciousness.

Lin Qiu picked up a bayberry and looked at it carefully, this bayberry is not big and only the size of longan, gently bite it, you can see the fresh red and tender flesh, the lips and tongue are stained with bright red juice at the same time, the flesh is fine and tender, sweet with a slight acidity, with Lin Qiu's experience in eating bayberry for many years, it is indeed a good bayberry.

"This bayberry tastes really good." Lin Qiu felt that his little gluttonous worm was hooked, but after eating two, he stopped his mouth, although the price of this bayberry is the same as the price of meat, it is quite expensive, and this price is enough to make many people retreat. Even if people let you eat openly, you can't eat half a catty too much, and the two are just general friends. Lin Qiu planned to go to the vendor to buy some and take them back to taste when he got off work.

"You know the goods." One by one, the bayberry entered Teacher Ruan's mouth.

Lin Qiu recalled the good taste of bayberry, and suddenly remembered the sad face of his sister-in-law during the Qingming Festival, worried that this year's bayberry would not make money, not to mention, it might also lose money, after all, renting a mountain, playing pesticides and even hiring people to watch bayberry pick bayberry all cost money.

A family is counting on the income of bayberry on this hill for a year, and now the price of bayberry is not high, and when bayberry enters the market on a large scale, the price will be pressed lower, and tens of thousands of catties of bayberry are generally purchased by people, and the purchase price is ......

If it is even worse, the money from selling bayberry is not enough to cover the labor cost of picking bayberry.

This year's early-maturing bayberry is so cheap, I'm afraid that when the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the eldest uncle and sister-in-law's bayberry don't know what price to be sold for, and it is unlikely that tens of thousands of catties of bayberry will be retailed. If it is sold to those who buy agricultural products, it may lose money this year. Thinking about it, Lin Qiu felt that the bayberry in his mouth was not so delicious.

As the saying goes, natural disasters are afraid of no harvest, and a good harvest is afraid of pricelessness.

Lin Qiu returned home and saw the eldest uncle and sister-in-law, why is the eldest uncle at the bottom of the mountain today, isn't he busy going up the mountain with an old man he hired to see the bayberry?

Lest the bayberry be stolen, the person who stole the bayberry was afraid of being discovered by the owner, so he took a long bamboo stick and beat it all the time, and the bayberry fell down all of a sudden, picked up some and put it directly in the basket and took it away, before and after not five minutes. But bayberry trees will be ruined badly, often losing seventy or eighty catties at once. The most worrying thing is this kind of stealing, firstly, there are heavy losses, and secondly, people may not be able to catch it if they run fast without going up the tree. But thieves are difficult to prevent, some thieves come out at night to steal bayberry, and the uncle sometimes lives in the old house on the mountain at night to watch the bayberry.

The eldest uncle and sister-in-law sat in the courtyard and looked at each other speechlessly, the eldest uncle held a dry tobacco pipe and smoked a dry cigarette sullenly, without much expression on his face, and the sister-in-law sat on the side with the soles of her shoes and did not make a sound.

Lin Qiu chuckled in his heart, could it be that something really happened to the bayberry on the mountain.

"Uncle, sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Li Mei raised her head, Lin Qiu saw that her eyes were red, and her sister-in-law had cried, could it be that something happened to the bayberry on the mountain?

"It's not the bayberry on this mountain that's making trouble." Song Qingxu was upset, unwilling to listen to the chatter of the two women, so he took the dry tobacco pipe and patted the ashes on his body and entered the house

Li Mei hung up with tears in her eyes, "A few days ago, I met the person who collected bayberry, your uncle asked, how to collect bayberry this year, he said that a dime and two cents a catty, then the 20,000 catties of bayberry are only worth about 2,400 yuan." ”

"This bayberry business is getting more and more difficult to do, in previous years, when the income was good, I could earn 2,000 yuan a year, but I haven't made much money in the past few years, and I won't rent the mountain after I finish this year, anyway, it's just eight years." No matter when it is difficult to do business, sometimes it is easy to make money, and sometimes it is difficult to lose money. Vision, insight, and courage are all indispensable, and even so, no one dares to make a lot of money by packing tickets.

"Fortunately, I spent a lot of money to rent a hill with a lot of bayberry trees, otherwise I would have to wait five years for a bayberry tree to grow and bear fruit, and the loss would be even worse." Li Mei said this, tears also stopped, a little glad that the choice of the family, I heard that some people in other towns contracted barren mountains to plant bayberry trees, that loss is called a miserable, their own family has saved seven or eight thousand yuan, which is very good.

But thinking of this year's bayberry, Li Mei's heart sank again, and she couldn't finish the game without losing one or two thousand, "Alas, this year's bayberry, it's too much of a loss, I don't know how much money I have to lose." ”

"Sister-in-law, why don't you sell it yourself?" It's really a loss to sell all the bayberry for 2,400 yuan, and the bayberry picking time is about a month, maybe you can find a way to sell it a little higher.

"Where can I sell so many bayberry in just one month?" Li Mei also wants to sell bayberry by herself, but the key is that so many bayberry can't be sold in a month, and now she is worried! No one wants to do this loss-making business, so they have to find a way to recover some losses.

"But I feel that selling to those who harvest bayberry is only afraid of losing more, so many bayberry are picked in three or four batches for a day or two each time, and it will cost a lot of money to hire someone." 20,000 catties of bayberry were charged for 2,400 yuan, but in the end, there were not so many in the hand

Li Mei didn't know the bottom of her heart, her husband had to make an idea about this matter in the end, and she really didn't know much, "I have to think about it and discuss it with the owner." ”

Lin Qiu didn't say much, and he didn't know if the idea would work.

Besides, the brothers are still settling accounts, and they can't interfere too much, and if one of them is not good, the relationship may deteriorate.

But I have to think about it, can I think of a way to help my uncle and sister-in-law sell tens of thousands of catties of bayberry together, even if I can only save my capital in the end, it is better, than watching Yangmei lose money.
