Chapter 16: An eye-opener

Coming out of the cave, I got down the ramp, went to the bottom of the waterfall, and walked forward along the clear water overflowing from Bitan, which flowed into a still stream of water three to five meters wide.

After the autumn rain, a layer of cool, the thick clouds gradually opened, sprinkled with a touch of broken gold, shining in the water, illuminating the water color through, on the pebbles at the bottom of the shallow stream, reflecting the rippling water ripples and light colors.

The small shrimp less than half a knuckle length is transparent in color, and there is no need to hide the figure, jumping and jumping in the water; The small pan'er brook crab, which gathered up the two long claws, swam in the cracks of the stones, mixed with the stone, and could hardly be seen if it were not for the occasional hidden movement.

There are very few fish in shallow water, and only when you are very lucky, you can see one or two "rockfish"; "Lying on the stone fish" is a description in the local dialect, Zhou Yi does not know the scientific name of these small fish, from the name of the soil alone, it is easy to know that these fish move against the stones at the bottom of the stream all the year round, and if there is a slight movement, they will be inserted into the cracks of the stones like arrows, so that you have four limbs, eight arms and twelve eyes, and you can not find its shape.

This spacious stream, in the sunshine, rises a faint mist, like smoke, the veins rise, lingering, people who know will say, it is "smoke stream".

Going down along the Yanxi, there are all the valleys and mountain passes, which should have been a place with abundant farmland, but at this moment it has been depressed and barren, and only the deserted houses hidden in the grass and forests, and the houses with black holes, tell the flow of people.

Although the house is deserted and no one lives in it, there is still an owner; Although the field was overgrown with weeds, it was still farmland in the law.

Zhou Tong consulted with the owner of the house and land, and moved the household utensils with the woman; Dozens of acres of land in the river valley were also reclaimed by him, and he waited for Zhou Yi to send grape tree saplings.

His house and land in Dongtian had already been bought by Zhou Yi, a modern "landowner" full of small-scale peasant consciousness, at the cost of grape saplings.

So far, in the Cave Heaven Valley, Zhou Yi can be regarded as a real "domination of the world".

Of course, being the first to plant a vine is fraught with risks – if the vine doesn't grow, you'll have to lose money – and thanks to the fact that it doesn't take much money to plant in the countryside.

As early as when the grapes were sold, Zhou Yi was mentioned and established a company called "Dongtian Fruit Industry"; Internally, easy to manage; Externally, whether it is communication, sales or tax payment, it is much more convenient.

Zhou Tong's grapes, when he first planted, signed a series of agreements with Zhou Yi: all grapes produced must be handed over to the "Dongtian Fruit Industry" company to sell to the outside world to obtain dividends.

When the agreed funds were all paid, a river valley was flat and open from the side of the mountain road into the cave, a hundred meters below the Yanxi River, revealing the fertile land that had been nourished for too long to be used underground.

The land was broken into pieces, like the water and soil that Zhou Yi opened in the cave, dug a ditch, led the mountain spring water, lingered around the square piece of land flowing, lingering, and finally merged into the Yanxi water.

On the black, yellow and fertile land, the grapevines stand up, the green leaves, sassy in the wind, and the elves love jade.

Because it was planted in autumn, Zhou Yi was afraid that the vines would not last until after winter, so he took advantage of people's inattention and put a little spiritual spring at the mouth of the irrigation ditch - I think it was enough for these vines to survive this cold winter.

As soon as Zhoutong's orchard was completed, groups of people came to inquire and inquire, and there was also the intention of planting grapevines - Zhou Yi did not refuse or promise, but just looked at it again, and next year, to see how the fruit trees planted here in Zhoutong grew before talking about anything else.

Like his father, he was conservative and cautious in many matters. On the other hand, I also look forward to Zhou Tong making money, waiting for the price to sell, and better negotiate the conditions.

He is not a "hero" who sacrifices himself for others, and in some personal interests that should be fought for and can be fought for, Zhou Yi spent some careful thought to fight for it......

On the second day of the autumn sun, Dongtian welcomed another guest.

Zhang Chutian, a classmate of Zhou Yi, is also one of the few friends who has always kept in touch.

This person has a fat face, a big belly, and a blessed appearance, and he looks like an edible person at first glance.

Some time ago, when Zhou Yi's grapes were selling hot, he went to Hainan for a trip, and after a few meals of beer and seafood, he was directly carried into the hospital, so he didn't come over to join in the fun.

Zhang Chutian's father is also a fat man, because he eats and cooks good dishes, he directly became the chef of a big hotel, and it is a good thing to jump into the high-income class at once; But because I ate day and night, somehow, I ate a gout out, and now, I basically can't eat the big dishes, and then I work in the kitchen, for a big foodie, it is even more uncomfortable torture than Ling Chi!

In a fit of anger, he resigned from the head of the hotel, and the father of the Zhang family took out all the funds in his hand and opened a vegetable and fruit store - a fruit and vegetable store for himself, a gout patient.

Not to mention, Daddy Zhang has a very good way of eating, even if it is a small vegetable and fruit retail store, he has also opened up tricks; Because of the kindness, fresh and luscious vegetables and fruits, and preferential prices, soon, a group of customers gathered, and within a few years, a store developed into a dozen fruit and vegetable retail chain stores covering the city.

Zhang Chutian, as the heir of the vegetable and fruit retail store, heard that Zhou Yi, an old friend, was selling grapes well, and he had long been ready to come over to inquire about the market and see if there was any possibility of cooperation; Of course, there is also the meaning of coming to see old friends.

He had just entered the cave, and before he had time to marvel at the scenery of the mountain, he was attracted by the ripe peaches of the tree; Because he helped Zhang's father take care of the business of vegetables and fruits, he had a very intuitive understanding of the quality of various fruits and vegetables.

Zhang Chutian looked at these acres of peach forest, there was still a distance of more than ten meters, and the open pores breathed the fragrance of peaches, which showed the fragrance of the fragrance!

Dozens of steps further, I saw that I had walked into the peach forest.

The peach forest is shrouded in sunlight, and the dew on the peach slowly evaporates into gas, evaporating a rich peach fragrance, which makes people drunk.

Zhang Chutian squinted his eyes, and finally saw the big pink and red peach on the tree clearly.

There are several peaches on the market that only weigh a pound, but the peaches here are each the size of two fists, almost close to the peach king of each season - he estimates that the small ones weigh a few pounds, and the big ones definitely weigh more than a kilogram.

He licked his lips, stretched out his hand involuntarily, wiped the dew on the peach, wiped the hair on the peach.

He thought he was careful enough, but he didn't want to, so he still rubbed the peach skin and cracked the crumpled pink skin.

The moist juice, with an unprecedented aroma of peach flesh, soaked into Zhang Chutian's heart and spleen, and moistened into his heart.

"Oh~~" The voice of the throat was involuntarily controlled, and even the body trembled.

Zhang Chutian couldn't wait to carefully put the peach to his mouth, and began to absorb the peach juice - he planned to suck the peach juice clean before eating the peach, but no matter how he sucked it, the juice in the peach seemed to be inexhaustible, flowing into his throat, lingering on the tip of his tongue, brewing fragrance in his stomach, making him intoxicated.

For a long time, it was like waking up in a dream, and when I opened my eyes, I don't know when, the peach skin in my hand was all shrunken, and only a skinny leather bag was left.

"How's it taste?" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Absolutely!" Zhang Chutian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Brother, you must give me some of this peach, I will pay a hundred, not a thousand yuan a catty, let's negotiate the price!" ”

Zhou Yi heard Zhang Chutian's words and was stunned for a moment, "A thousand yuan a catty?" He knew that some fruits in the market were very expensive, and he also knew that his peaches were excellent in taste and condition, but he never expected that they could be sold at such a high price.

"Too few brothers? It's not that I can't get a better price, it's just that it's not, take it back and try to sell it first? Rest assured, the price can be high, only high, not low! Or, do you want a price? Zhang Chutian was in a hurry, but he didn't see what Zhou Yi meant.

He was in a hurry. Although he wants to inherit his father's inheritance, he also wants to make some achievements of his own. So, he set his sights on the high-end fruit market.

He still has some high-end customers; But the supply of goods is almost none. After all, there are only so many really high-end fruits and vegetables, which are in short supply, and they are sold at high prices, so you don't have to worry about finding no one to cooperate. If there is no special, special relationship, how can it be his turn?

"No, I think the price is a little higher."

"I don't know it, do I?" Zhang Chutian's eyes were slanted, his mouth was crooked, and he looked disgusted, "You don't know the life of those rich people - as long as things are good, they sell them for as much as they want; Don't say a thousand yuan a catty, it's 10,000 catties, and people don't blink! Some people have a lot of money to spend on it! ”

"Moreover, there are 1,000 pounds of peaches on the market. Have you ever heard of the snow-capped peach in Lishui? This snow-capped peach grows next to the snow-capped mountain, and the ordinary goods are hundreds of pounds; Really good quality, thousands of pounds; More than a kilogram of peach king, 10,000 one, and the market priceless ......"

Zhou Yi was stunned by Zhang Chutian's words.

The price of fruit he knows is hundreds of yuan. At the beginning, when he set the price of grapes at 50 yuan, he was still worried in his heart, for fear that the price would be too high, and if he couldn't sell it, what should he do?

Who knows, the world is so vast, it really opened the eyes of his frog at the bottom of the well!
