After a month-long investigation, Lu Yang came to Fenglin City, located in the central part of Minnan Province. Eventually, he settled down in Dayan Village, Qishui Town, Linshui County, under Fenglin City.

Today, Lu Yang has changed from a sales manager in Shencheng to a land contractor in Dayan Village.

This is how Lu Yang came to Dayan Village.

When he arrived in Dayan Village, Wu Fan was the first friend Lu Yang knew.

Wu Fan is two years older than Lu Yang, a civil servant of the Qishui Town Government, a local, when Lu Yang decided to contract land in Dayan Village to engage in the cultivation of Zhu Guo, Wu Fan gave him a lot of help. This person is a warm-hearted person, cheerful by nature, optimistic, and has a strong infectious energy.

"Lu Yang, what the hell are you planting?" Wu Fan didn't understand why Lu Yang came to Dayan Village to contract land for planting. In his opinion, the conditions of Dayan Village are really ordinary, the environment is average, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are almost no advantages, except for more land. Compared with other villages, there are more than 100 households in Dayan Village, with an average of more than 10 acres of land per family, which is also unique in Fenglin City.

Lu Yang smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he was helpless when he came here. He originally wanted to choose a place with better transportation conditions and low land contract prices, but he found that the ecological environment of Dayan Village was the most suitable for the growth of Zhu Guo, so he could only come here.

No one will believe this reason, so Lu Yang simply won't say it.

Wu Fan shook his head and didn't ask any more.

The days passed, and Lu Yang spent every day in the field. In Dayan Village, he contracted ten acres of land, and no matter how much he had, he couldn't manage it alone. According to the price of 400 yuan per mu of land, the annual contract cost of Luyang is 4,000 yuan. Considering the financial difficulties, Lu Yang only signed a ten-year term, and this time, his savings were reduced by half.

After that, Lu Yang paid someone to sort out the land. In order to cultivate the best vermilion fruit, Lu Yang has carefully managed the land, from drainage and irrigation to soil improvement. After doing this, Lu Yang spent nearly a month cultivating Zhu Guo seedlings, and by the beginning of July, the ten acres of land contracted by Lu Yang had been planted with verdant Zhu Guo trees.

After the fruit trees were planted, Lu Yang still couldn't relax. Although the Zhuguo tree has a strong immunity to pests and diseases, Lu Yang does not dare to take it lightly. Every day, he checks to make sure that the tree is growing normally, and at the same time, he is also recording the growth of the tree.

In this way, Lu Yang was busy for more than a month, and at the beginning of August, the vermilion fruit trees on ten acres of land began to hang pink fruits.

"Lu Yang, what are you planting in this field?" When Wu Fan came to Lu Yang's side again, he was immediately shocked by the scenery in front of him. He looked at the vermilion fruit trees that were less than two meters tall, and the pink fruit that he had never seen before, and hurriedly asked.

Lu Yang smiled and said: "This is a new variety of fruit that I have cultivated, called Zhu Guo, how about it, haven't you seen it?" ”

"I've never seen it, I've never even heard of it!" Wu Fan nodded again and again, "Although I don't know how it tastes, but from the outside, your Zhu Guo is really beautiful." Lu Yang, are you familiar with these? ”

Lu Yang glanced at him: "What, do you want to taste it?" Hehe, not now, it's not ripe yet. ”

"When will it be ripe?" Wu Fan did not give up.

"One more week." Lu Yang estimated that it would take about a month for the fruit of Zhuguo to ripen from flowering to maturity. This batch of vermilion fruits was planted in early July, and it will bloom in mid-July, and in a few days, the vermilion will probably ripen.

"Well, I'll definitely be back next week!" Wu Fan still remembered Zhu Guo before leaving.

After sending Wu Fan away, Lu Yang returned to his house in Dayan Village. This house was rented by him, the price was very cheap, and it was not far from the land he had contracted, so it was convenient for him to take care of Zhu Guo.

"Lu Yang, you're back." As soon as Lu Yang entered the door, a voice came from outside.

"Uncle Ge, please come in." Lu Yang greeted him.

The person who came was Ge Jiefang, the village chief of Dayan Village, who was in his fifties this year, with a tough body, full of energy, and his strength was not inferior to that of young people. According to him, if he hadn't stayed to take care of the village, he would have gone out to work with the young people.

"Uncle Ge, are you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Lu Yang asked.

Ge Jiefang grinned: "What can I do, it's just to see how your side is doing." I went to your place just now to take a look, and a large pink patch startled me. Lu Yang, what kind of fruit is yours, I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen it! ”

Lu Yang's heart said that this was the case.

"Uncle Ge, my kind is called Zhuguo, it is a new variety, I cultivated it myself, it is normal if you haven't seen it, and when the Zhuguo is ripe, you will know when you taste it."

Ge Jiefang smiled: "I'll just say, you're from a big city, you won't come to Dayan Village to farm, right?" Well, I'll definitely taste your vermilion fruit then. ”

Lu Yang thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, Uncle Ge, there is something I have to trouble you." When the vermilions are ripe, I have to sell them. But ten acres of Zhu Guo, I can't pick it alone, and then I will ask you and the villagers to help, as before, I will pay per person. ”

Ge Jiefang waved his hand: "What kind of reward, isn't it just picking a fruit, don't worry, leave it to me!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Guo was about to mature, Lu Yang contacted Wu Fan.

"Lu Yang, I got you the car." Wu Fan jumped down from a pickup truck with a wolf on his face.

"I didn't think I was riding a bicycle before, but when I drove it, I realized that the road in Dayan Village was too difficult to walk, and you see my face was full of gray." Wu Fan washed his face, and he was suddenly much refreshed.

"Okay, who made you drive so fast." Lu Yang said with a smile, very grateful to Wu Fan in his heart. Dayan Village is thirty miles away from Qishui Town, and Wu Fan received a call from him, and immediately borrowed a car and rushed over.

Wu Fan looked around: "What's the matter, your Zhu Guo is ripe?" ”

Lu Yang said: "It's only been these two days, when the zhu fruit is ripe, I will go to the city to sell, this place has to go to the city, I can't do it without a car, and I don't know anyone else, so I have to ask you for help." ”

Wu Fan waved his hand: "What's the matter." ”

Lu Yang's estimate was correct, within a week, the color of the vermilion fruits in the ten acres of land began to deepen, from pink to red, and after two days, almost all the vermilion fruits became red.

This indicates that Zhu Guo is really ripe!

As the owner of Zhu Guo, Lu Yang was the first to taste Zhu Guo.

Before tasting it, Lu Yang carefully observed Zhu Guo.

The ripe vermilion is the size of a lychee and resembles the appearance of a small tomato, but the shape of the vermilion is a standard spherical shape, which has a beautiful look. In terms of color, the red of the vermilion fruit is not the same as the red of the small tomato, it is red and transparent, the red is attractive, and the red is lovely.

"It looks great." Lu Yang said secretly.

Put a vermilion fruit in his mouth, and with a light bite, the sweet juice gushed out, and instantly spread all over Lu Yang's mouth and tongue.

"Sizzle...... The taste is simply amazing! ”

Lu Yang had to admire, this fruit was definitely the best he had ever tasted!

"Sweet and sour, moderately crunchy, tender and juicy...... Is there any other such fruit in this world besides the one in my hand? ”

After eating a zhuguo, Lu Yang picked another one.

"It's a tempting taste."

After eating more than a dozen Zhu Guo in one go, Lu Yang stopped.

"How should the price of such a delicious vermilion fruit be set?" After eating Zhu Guo, Lu Yang began to think about another question.

Lu Yang, who came from a sales background, is very sensitive to price issues.

"Although Zhu Guo is delicious, it is the first time it has been listed and it is not famous. If the price is set too high, sales will become a problem in the short term. ”

Lu Yang is very confident in Zhu Guo and believes that as long as there is time, Zhu Guo's market will definitely open. But now, he had to consider another factor, and that was that he was running out of money.

Coming to Dayan Village, in addition to the forty or fifty thousand yuan spent on the contracted land, Lu Yang's remaining money was basically spent on the cultivation of Zhu Guo, from the initial seedling cultivation to the final maintenance and management, in more than two months, Lu Yang's savings have bottomed out.

That's why he tried to save as much as he could.

"If I don't have any income, I'll have a problem even eating." At this time, Lu Yang deeply realized the difficulty of starting a business.

"No, the Zhu Guo must be sold as much as possible, and the price of the first batch of Zhu Guo cannot be set too high."

Lu Yang planned to sell Zhu Guo to Fenglin City this time, and considering the local economic level, he finally set the price of Zhu Guo at 3 yuan a piece.

In 05, the price of a fruit of 3 yuan is definitely a high price, and a vermilion fruit is only slightly larger than longan, weighing less than 50 grams, this kind of fruit, ordinary salaried people will definitely not buy it.

"Zhu Guo is worth the price!" Lu Yang also has a rod scale in his heart, if it weren't for the quick recovery of funds, he would never have sold Zhu Guo so cheaply.

After the price was set, Lu Yang estimated the yield of Zhu Guo again.
