Chapter 47: Ripe Cherries
When she returned to San Francisco, Chiyo Tachibana was still participating in the exchange of French music groups, and the time was very small, and the two could only be together in the evenings. Because of his concern for the farm, Lan Jiawei said goodbye to Chiyo in the graduation season and flew back to Boise.
After going to meet Byron and learning that everything was going according to plan, and that it was going well, Lan Jiawei drove home in the Ford van he had left in the milk powder factory, and on the way he changed to the Bugatti Veilon convertible in the ring, and soon returned to the farm.
After changing the car, I first walked to the lawn of the manor, looked at the crops with a telescope, and found that the cherries had begun to bear fruit, although a month later than the earth's cherries, but it looked very good, and it was a good harvest.
Cherry picking will begin at the end of June, followed by blueberries and blackberries, and the grapes will ripen, and the farm will be busy again.
Xiao Jin, who was flying in the sky, saw his master, flew down and stopped on Lan Jiawei's raised arm, rubbed him affectionately, and after a while, Qiuqiu also rushed over and gestured at Lan Jiawei.
After letting Xiao Jin continue to fly into the air, Lan Jiawei followed Qiuqiu to a place close to the woods. The little guy screamed twice, and saw a little raccoon running out of the woods, dressed in golden fur and very cute.
Lan Jiawei smiled "haha": "Qiuqiu, is this your girlfriend?" ”
"Squeak", Qiuqiu nodded proudly, and gestured like a magic crystal, looking at the master.
Lan Jiawei threw an elf fruit to Qiuqiu and the female raccoon: "Did you tell him not to eat the fruit from the farm?" ”
"Squeak", Qiuqiu nodded and made a gesture, which means "of course I said it"
"Okay", Lan Jiawei looked for it and gave Qiuqiu a fifth-level wind-based magic crystal and a third-level earth-based magic crystal to the female raccoon. "Qiuqiu, maybe it's going to be sleepy, you take it back to the cabin, oh, I decided to call it curly, you see the hair on the top of its head is curly"
The two raccoons squeaked twice together with disdain for their master's naming level, and went to the cabin with the magic crystal in their hands. Jin now regards the attic of the wooden house as his nest, and Lan Jiawei is not afraid of any danger they will encounter.
When Lan Jiawei came to the tree of life, Xue Ling flew over with an elemental elf the same size as her, most of the elemental elves are girls' appearance, and this one is too, but she has a small green dress on her body, fluttering with small wings, very cute.
"I think it's a wood elf, it's a good sign", Lan Jiawei looked at the two elves with delight.
"Yes, Guardian, I was born because there have been a lot of wood elements lately," the wood elf said after flying around Lan Jiawei's head.
"Then I'll call you a wood spirit, I know your ability, it is to control the growth of plants", Lan Jiawei did not prohibit the two naughty elves from stopping in his hair.
"Yes, Guardian", the wood spirit flew again
"Xue Ling, please take her to inspect my sphere of influence, and then Mu Ling, I have planted a few Mir Gobi plants on the rocks on the other side of the mountain, you go and monitor their growth, don't let them affect other earth species"
"Of course, JAVY", the two elves flew hand in hand
Lan Jiawei didn't dare to let the wood spirit speed up the growth of crops, otherwise those farmers would go crazy.
After falling asleep for more than a week, Qiuqiu and Curly finally woke up one after another, and their appearance seemed to be like that, unchanged. Lan Jiawei was laughing and watching the two raccoons make fun of each other, and as expected, Curly would also make expressions. The skills of the two guys are different, the ball is a wind blade that becomes more powerful, and the curl is a protective earth wall. One attack and one defense, if you run into a wild wolf in the mountains, you can also fight. "Qiuqiu, take your wife to the farm to go around more, catch mice or something", Lan Jiawei dropped a sentence before leaving, Qiuqiu and Jujuan were behind him and despised the exploitative labor of their masters.
In the next half month, Lan Jiawei remotely controlled the situation of the food company on the phone, and asked Byron to sit and prepare. Monitoring the ripening of the Mill cherries, he immediately contacted the town agricultural association and asked for assistance in finding temporary personnel to help harvest and test the cherries as soon as possible.
Because it is a seasonal fruit, the efficiency of the U.S. government is vividly reflected, and cherries are quickly recognized as the latest variety, which has more nutritional and health value than all other cherries on the market, does not contain any chemicals, and is the top variety, and finally issued a relevant certificate.
Because I was persuaded by my father during the Spring Festival, I no longer think about the wheat on the farm, and it is cheap to buy anyway. So Lan Jiawei planted more than 9 acres of cherries. At harvest time, all the farmers and temporary recruits were busy for many days before the harvest was completed, and the yield per acre was as high as more than 21,000 kilograms.
With the help of agricultural associations and the efforts of their own food companies, Mill cherries entered the market at $4.5 per pound, equivalent to $9.9 per kilogram.
Lan Jiawei didn't care about the problem that the price was not high at this time, this was a pebble he threw into the market, and I believe that there would be a reaction soon.
Sure enough, when he was still struggling with Chiyo, although he had graduated, there were still parties and ceremonies that he couldn't come, the market was already boiling for Mir Cherry.
When several high-end restaurants tried to make pizzas and salads with this cherry, the whole food was upgraded by several notches, and customers who came back after eating it would order this dish specifically and change it to another fruit, and they were not willing to accept it.
Gradually, housewives discovered that the cherry, named "Mir", made the food even more delicious, and even eating it was addictive.
So after a few days of cold sales, the sales of Mill cherries began to soar in an all-round way, and the amount of less than 200,000 kilograms was barely enough to plug the teeth of the huge market. Many high-end restaurants that don't have storage are embarrassed, so they have inquired in many ways, and they have all targeted other fruits that are about to ripen in the elf farm.
Lan Jiawei looked at the more than 1.8 million US dollars that he only received, which was also the real first big income of the farm, and smiled in his heart: "This is not the price in the future." Boise's Mill Foods Company has a stake in Tachibana Sokatsu, but the profit of the fruit itself and the profit from the sale are accounted for separately, and what Lan Jiawei got does not include the profit from the difference in the price of the fruit sales.
Thinking that it has entered July, the oak barrels have arrived, and the winemaker's affairs have to be arranged, I found a few guys who looked very good on the headhunter network, sent an invitation, and then waited for the other party to arrive.
Within a few days, Lan Jiawei finalized the German descendant named Bill, settled him in the winery, recruited two assistants, and became the head of the shop. Bill was a very strict man, and when he saw the growth of the grapes on the estate, he immediately began to clean the high-spec French oak barrels that surprised him with his assistant.
Since the cultivation of wheat was no longer considered, Lan Jiawei cleaned up the original bakery and other places and allocated them to the winery, which is now much larger. There are still a few wooden houses on the farm that can be lived in, and we will recruit people later depending on the situation.
Boise, Byron entered the house with a tired face, and his wife, Miena, walked up to take the briefcase from her husband's hand, and kissed him: "Honey, have you been tired lately?" ”
Byron nodded: "Yes, the cherries from the farm are sold out, and many dealers are still calling to ask for goods." The packaging design of the milk powder company is basically completed and the personnel training is indeed a bit busy."
Byron followed her husband into the living room, "You have to work hard, there are still 5 children in the family who are not adults, and it is difficult to find such a job"
Patting his wife on the back, Byron smiled: "Very tired but very fulfilling, I have strength all over my body, and then there are blueberries and black grapes, grapes, plus milk powder, and wine in the future, this company is very promising, I will work hard, rest assured." It's almost time for the kids to get out of school, let's go cook."
