Chapter 12 Fruit Products

"Qiyi, you go and check how people in Qiuzhou deal with fruits that can't be sold." Yuan Qingdao.

Qi Yan didn't ask much, and retreated.

Yuan Qing walked to the railing on the third floor, looked at the beautiful dancing on the first floor, and looked at the fascinated appearance of the audience under the stage, well, anyway, they are willing to come to the restaurant.

The customers of Yuehu Restaurant have benefits again, they can not only listen to the male god Fu Qian play the piano, but also watch the beautiful Shiqiu dance, and eat the apple products carefully made by the shopkeeper...... Looking at ancient times, how many restaurants were so dedicated to their customers?

Anyway, when the Moon Lake Restaurant has not yet reached the point of cold love, all this has to be attributed to Yuan Qing's new way, anyway, she already has the ability to find another way, and there is nothing to praise.

Time passed slowly, and Qi Yi came back with information.

The fruits that can't be sold in Autumn Prefecture are donated to the land and used as fertilizer. People in this era didn't know what fruits could be processed into, and they didn't know how to sell them except to buy them directly.

Well, human progress is inherently slow.

Those rich fruit merchants transport fruits from all over the world to buy, and their fruits cannot be sold very little, and those self-employed people, because there are not many people, they can only transport them to Qiuzhou to sell, so that there are not many fruits bought, and there are many fruits left every year......

Yuan Qing thought about it and decided on a great decision, she wanted to save those self-employed people whose fruits could not be sold, she was right, she wanted to contract the fruits of that self-employed person to her name, and then that's it.

Without further ado, Yuan Qing asked Qi Yi to inquire about how many self-employed people had personal fruit forests, they were all scattered and not gathered together, it seemed that Yuan Qing had to go door to door to find them......

Most of them were concentrated in the villages near Qiulin, and on this day Yuan Qing and Qi Yan came on horseback.

"This sister-in-law, have you sold all your fruits?" Yuan Qing came to the door of a fruit farmer's house and knocked on the door, and it was a woman who opened the door.

"Girl, you're here to buy fruit, aren't you?" Women's Road.

"Pretty much." Yuan Qing nodded.

"I still have about five baskets of apples, but it's late autumn, and there are no no fruits left on the trees, so there are only five baskets of apples at home."

"Oh, sister-in-law, how many families like you have who grow fruit trees by a forest?" Yuan Qing asked. "That is, there are no fruit forests that have been contracted."

"Well, the girl wants to ask how many self-employed people like us are, right?" Women's Road.

"Yes." Yuan Qing nodded.

"There are not many, we are self-employed, the fruit forest is far away from those large fruit forests, and the yield is not very high, so it is not contracted by those rich businessmen, and if you calculate it carefully, there may be more than 20 households." Women's Road.

"More than 20 households? So where are the sisters-in-law's families? ”

"There are more than 10 households in our village, a few in the next village, and a few in the opposite village." Women's Road.

"Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I'm bringing you good news." Yuan Qing smiled very close to the people and said.

"Does the girl want to buy all my apples?" The woman said that if Yuan Qing sold all her apples, it would be the best news for her.

Yuan Qing nodded, "Sister-in-law, I can buy your apples, but you have to do me a favor and call all the self-employed fruit farmers in your village." ”

"Okay, as long as you are willing to sell my apples, I will call it, the master, you come out for a while......" said the woman and her husband went to call the self-employed people in the same village, their children, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came out to greet Yuan Qing and Qi Yi, and brought them tea.

After a short time, all the self-employed people in this village came, and their fruit grove was a ** fruit forest, which was not large and far away from the high mountains, and the yield was not high, so those rich people did not contract their fruit groves.

They are all self-growing, inefficient, and there will be a large number of fruits that cannot be sold every year......

"Folks, how much fruit do you still have that you can't sell?" Yuan Qing saw that they were almost all here, and then spoke.

"Girl, I still have three baskets of pears and two blue apples."

"I still have five baskets of oranges."

"Oh, okay guys, I also know your predicament, the fruit can't be sold, rotting at home, it's not what you want to see, I'll tell you a good news, if you still can't sell the fruit, sell it to me." Yuan Qingdao.

"Really?" If people don't believe it, who will buy a lot of fruit? Fruit is not an item, and it will rot after not being left for long.

"Really, guys, I specialize in buying fruits that you can't sell, but those fruits can't be too bad, right?" Yuan Qing said with a smile.

"That's nature, who would buy fruit that is too bad?" One laughed.

"Well, let me tell you this, if you really do business with me, then there is a place in Qiuzhou City that specializes in buying fruits, you can transport the fruits there, and then how do you do business, you should give more, not less." Yuan Qingdao, after all, these fruits are grown by their hard work, and the paper can't wrap the fire, once there are fruit products to sell in the market, these people who specialize in selling fruits shouldn't be so stupid, right?

Yuan Qing has no source of fruits, those rich fruit merchants, it may not be possible to cooperate with them, after all, why should people cooperate with you? So Yuan Qing started with these self-employed people first.

"Guys, if you don't know the way, three big brothers and sisters have also been to the ...... a few days ago" Speaking of which, the three people who delivered the apples a few days ago stood up.

"Well, it's the little house." Yuan Qing nodded after listening to the lecture of the three of them. "Everyone, tomorrow you can follow them wherever your fruit goes."

"Okay." The crowd nodded.

Yuan Qing got up and left, Qi Yan followed closely behind her. Some things are not in a hurry, after all, the fruit growers' minds are not so sharp, and tomorrow they will wait for the fruit to arrive, and other things are slowly being discussed in detail.

Yuan Qing and Qi Yi came to the next village, gathered the only few self-employed households in the village, and explained the general situation, because no one in their village knew where to transport the fruit, so Yuan Qing decided to divide the troops into two ways, Qi Yi led them to transport the fruit back to Qiuzhou City, and Yuan Qing continued to go to the next village to mobilize the masses.

In the third village, there are only five self-employed households, which are very concentrated, and they seem to have a few baskets of fruits that cannot be sold, so Yuan Qing asked them to push the fruits to Qiuzhou City.

In a small house on the urban-rural border of Qiuzhou, there are more than a dozen people concentrated here. The small yard is full of all kinds of fruits.

"Everyone, I call one, you consciously bring in your fruit." Yuan Qingdao.

More than a dozen people nodded.

"Okay, the first one, Li San."

Li San, a thin middle-aged man, moved the fruits he had worked hard to cook for a year to a hut. There are three baskets of apples and two blue pears.

"Li San, three baskets of apples are two taels of silver, and two blue pears are one or two pieces of silver. Take three taels of silver. Yuan Qingdao said, handing three taels of silver to Li San.

Li Sanxi smiled and took the silver. "Girl, if you still need fruit in the future, can I still sell it to you?"

"Well, Li San, what fruits do you grow?" Yuan Qing asked.

"There are apples, pears, and oranges." Li Sanyi counted them one by one.

"So is there anything else besides autumn when you can eat fruit? Like watermelon, bayberry, and whatever. Yuan Qing asked.

"No, girl, Qiulin has nothing else to plant except for these fruit trees." Li Sandao. "But bayberry is planted." Bayberry is the fruit of summer.

"That's good, as long as you have fruit, you can buy it here." Yuan Qingdao.

The fruits in the autumn forest are: apples, pears, persimmons, oranges, dates, autumn peaches, walnuts, millet, hawthorn, kiwi, oranges. That's pretty much it.

Today, a large number of fruits are acquired in the hut, of all kinds, in a complete variety and at a low price.

"By the way, guys, who of you would like to stay and work here?" Yuan Qing asked.

"What do you do?"

"It's very simple, it takes time, maybe two months for a short time, half a year for a long time, have you considered working here?" Yuan Qingdao. "We need about four or five people, and it's a long-term worker, so if you think they or your family have it, you might want to consider it." ”

"Girl, you want us to work, what do you want us to do?" One asked.

"You can rest assured that it is some manual work, nothing difficult, the age must be over 16 years old, male or female, it is required to be in good health, no physical disability, if anyone has the heart to come, come here for an interview tomorrow." Yuan Qing said, "It's getting late now, let's go back." ”

"Alright, girl, let's go." Everyone nodded to Yuan Qing and left.

The night was dark and windy.

"Qiyi, it looks like we're going to be busy." Yuan Qing looked at the room full of fruits, these fruits, no matter what, she had to deal with them well, if this fruit processing business continued, Yuan Qing planned to do as much as possible. After all, it's a pity that these fruits are used as fertilizer.

Fruits are apples, pears, persimmons, oranges, chestnuts, hawthorns.

The practice of apples, Yuan Qing roughly figured out, oranges can be made into canned food, hawthorn can be used in medicine, chestnuts have many methods, pears, rock sugar pears and are pure, persimmons can be made into dry persimmons.

There is also the question, where to buy these fruit products?

You must know that in Qiuzhou City, every inch of land is expensive, and the rent of shops in the bustling central market is not lower than that in the central city...... Forget it or settle for the next best thing and find a place with less rent.

The next day, the growers came by appointment and brought a large amount of fruit. To be continued
