【Chapter 051】 Longan sales
After working for several evenings in a row, Liu Rui finally planted all the saplings in the backyard. Looking at it, the seedlings that have been pruned down to the top of the orchard still look a little unbearable, but they still have a shocking feeling when they stand neatly in the orchard.
Because of the moisture of the space spring, the saplings did not appear uncomfortable, and in just a few days, the roots turned green, which can be regarded as surviving the first difficulty of seedling transplanting. After all, September is not the best time to transplant, and most growers transplant seedlings at the end of October. At that time, there was less direct sunlight and the temperature was relatively low, which was conducive to the seedlings to retain moisture and nutrients.
The day after planting the fruit trees, Ji Xiaojun did not inform Liu Rui, and went straight to Liu's house with a chubby fruit merchant.
"Xiao Rui, this is Huang Xingye Huang Boss, I will bring him over today to see your orchard." Ji Xiaojun entered the courtyard and introduced the fat boss to Liu Rui.
When greeting the fat boss, Liu Rui felt that the other party's interest was not very high, and it was estimated that he came to the Liu family for the sake of Ji Xiaojun's face.
However, Liu Rui didn't care, anyway, his orchard was there, and he didn't have to worry about selling it with such good quality. At most, if Zhou Guodong and Ji Xiaojun find a few more fruit merchants, they will definitely be able to sell them.
Because Ji Xiaojun and they came early, it was not yet lunchtime, so Liu Ruisuo took them to the Longyan Garden in the back mountain to have a look.
After not coming over for a few days, Ji Xiaojun found that the orchard had undergone a lot of changes.
The dragon's eye, which was originally only the size of a pigeon's egg, seems to be bigger again, could it be that these 'Lidong Ben' can grow into the size of a wild egg? Looking at Liu Rui, who was calm next to him, Ji Xiaojun still had an unfathomable feeling in his heart.
Ji Xiaojun, who had been to Liu's orchard, was still frightened, and Huang Xingye, who saw such an amazing scene for the first time, was even more unbearable. His mouth was wide open, his eyes were round, and with his chubby cheeks, he was also quite happy.
Huang Xingye has been engaged in the fruit business for more than ten years, not to mention well-informed, at least he has traveled a lot of places. He had seen many orchards of different sizes, but he had never seen such an orchard with such a good harvest!
Longan is a difficult fruit variety to serve, and the management of melons and fruits alone is cumbersome.
At the beginning of fruit set, proper fruit thinning must be carried out, otherwise the fruit tree will not be able to support the nutrients required for each fruit during the growth period. In this case, the fruit grower should decide the intensity of fruit thinning according to the situation of his orchard, whether to pursue the weight of a single fruit or the yield of a single tree.
Generally speaking, there are often two situations when the longan tree is close to maturity. One is that the number is small, but the single fruit is large; The other is that the fruit is small and the yield is high.
However, the Liu family's orchard completely subverted Huang Xingye's cognition.
Longans the size of pigeon's eggs hung on the branches, and the fruits bent the branches, but the whole longan could not be seen at all malnourished.
"Little brother, shouldn't every tree in your orchard be like this?" After being stunned for a while, Huang Xingye came back to his senses and asked.
Because of the line of sight, Huang Xingye only saw the situation of a few longans in front of him, but he thought of Ji Xiaojun's strong recommendation, and couldn't help but think of such a situation.
"Well, this orchard is the first year that it bears fruit on a large scale, and we didn't expect it to perform so well." Liu Rui nodded and said a piece of information that shocked Huang Xingye.
According to the general law of longan hanging fruit, in the first year, there can be more than ten or twenty catties of hanging fruit in a large area, which is already well managed. The yield of these fruit trees in front of me is at least more than 30 catties, if the whole garden is like this, how can it not be shocking?
Following Liu Rui and Ji Xiaojun around, Huang Xingye's original disdain has long since disappeared, and has been replaced by attention from the heart.
For a businessman like Huang Xingye, finding a good source of goods will be a lot of income for himself, so after seeing the quality of Longyan Garden, he has decided that it is imperative. At the beginning, Huang Xingye did follow to Liu's house because of Ji Xiaojun's face, and the bumps along the way made him regret it, but after seeing Longyan Garden, everything changed 180 degrees.
As a senior fruit merchant, Huang Xingye knows that such an orchard is hard to come by, so he naturally has to settle down as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"In this way, Xiao Rui, I'm not verbose, five yuan per kilogram, I'm round!" Huang Xingye, who returned to the front yard, couldn't wait to offer the price.
This year, the retail price of early-maturing longan in Qingshan County is only two yuan a catty, and it is said that the price given by Huang Xingye is quite good. However, Liu Rui is not the kind of person who is impulsive when he sees money, he did not rush to agree, but poured tea for Ji Xiaojun and the two of them, diverting the topic.
Looking at Liu Jiahong, who looked indifferent, and then looked at Liu Rui, who was steady, Huang Xingye quickly understood that what he had met was not those uninformed farmers, and it was not easy to win this order.
"Lao Huang, you have also seen the orchard, and it will be harvested in a week at most, and I also believe in you so I invited you to come." Seeing that the scene was a little silent, Ji Xiaojun had to come forward to round the scene.
Ji Xiaojun also knows that Huang Xingye is not a stingy person, otherwise Ji Xiaojun would not have been the first to bring him here? Huang Xingye just planned to make a price all over the sky because of the merchant's real surname, but this is good, since he is willing to make a price, it means that he has the sincerity to cover the entire Longyan Garden.
"Since Lao Ji has said so, it's my fault to twist it again!" Huang Xingye is also a bachelor, and then said: "Three yuan per catty, it can't be more." ”
Seeing that Huang Xingye took the initiative to raise the price, and it was quite simple, Liu Rui knew that there was basically not much moisture in this price. In the past two days, in order to sell longan, he has been running to the fruit wholesale market in the county, and he also has an understanding of the current price in the fruit market.
It stands to reason that three yuan a pound is already a very high price, to be honest, Liu Rui is already a little excited, but he always has to maximize the benefits.
"This price is not low, but the specific cooperation method is round or weighing?" Liu Rui handed the teacup in his hand to Huang Xingye and Ji Xiaojun and said.
In Qingshan County, there are generally two ways for fruit merchants to purchase fruits, one is the traditional weighing and measurement method, and the other is the estimation of the circle. The former way is better than steady, clear and clear, both buyers and sellers have no regrets, but the latter way is a bit exciting.
When a fruit merchant sees an orchard, he will consult with the owner of the orchard, estimate the yield of the orchard, and then pay the purchase price according to the agreed quantity and price. At this point, the fruits produced in the orchard this year belong to the fruit merchants. Because of the uncertain surname, this method is quite popular with some fruit merchants and fruit farmers who like excitement, and can often stage surprise dramas.
"Then it's up to you." As soon as he heard Liu Rui's words, Huang Xingye knew that it was impossible to take advantage.
"It's better to weigh it, we don't know how to estimate it if it's round, so it's better to be steady." Liu Rui took a sip of tea, and then said: "Seven yuan a kilogram, as well as the cost of hiring workers to pick fruits and transportation, you have to pay for it, Boss Huang." ”
As soon as he heard Liu Rui's methodical words, Huang Xingye knew that the situation was stronger than people, and it would be impossible not to agree. After all, the quality of the orchard is there, and no matter what fruit merchant sees it, he will agree to Liu Rui's conditions.
After some bargaining, Huang Xingye finally reached a consensus with Liu Rui to buy all of Liu Rui's longan, and then drove over to buy it after a few days when the longan matured.
"Uncle Ji and Boss Huang are not busy leaving, let's have a meal at home first." finally reached a consensus, and Liu Rui was in a good mood.
"This is natural, your food tastes really special, and I still can't forget it when I go back for a few days." As soon as he mentioned the Liu family's food, Ji Xiaojun remembered the wonderful taste a few days ago.
Huang Xingye, who was on the side, listened to it, and said in his heart that it was poor and remote here, what could be delicious? Ji Xiaojun said this mostly out of politeness.
"Since you like Uncle Ji, I'll bring some back from the vegetable garden in a while and let my aunt try them." For Ji Xiaojun, Liu Rui is naturally very grateful, and a little vegetable is naturally not enough to express.
"Xiao Rui, is the situation stable for the supply of 'South Beauty' now?" While waiting for Zhang Guizhi to make lunch, Ji Xiaojun chatted with Liu Rui about the vegetable garden.
"It's okay, they are now asking us to gradually increase the supply volume, and now we have to provide almost 300 catties a day. Fortunately, the newly planted vegetables are also beginning to ripen, and there is basically enough supply. "When it comes to the cooperation with 'South Beauty', Liu Rui's face is filled with a look from the inside out.
"300 a day, so calculated, your vegetable garden is not much worse than Uncle Ji's gardening field!" After thinking about it in his heart, Ji Xiaojun suddenly found that if Liu Rui's vegetable garden could be operated for a long time, it would be a great thing.
Originally, Ji Xiaojun thought that the Liu family's vegetable garden was just a small fight, but now it sounds like he earns a lot of money in a year.
"Where can I compare to Uncle Ji here?" Liu Rui shook his head and said, "We don't have enough manpower, and we've been trapped here all day. ”
Huang Xingye, who was on the side, was a little surprised to look at the vegetable garden over there at this time, but he didn't expect that this inconspicuous farmhouse vegetable garden was actually the raw material supply point of 'South Beauty'. Huang Xingye has been to 'South Beauty' many times, and the dishes there are authentic and the prices are quite expensive.
At this time, Huang Xingye understood that Liu Rui's confidence in the negotiation just now was so strong, unlike ordinary farmers, he relied on it.
After a while, the fragrant farmhouse dishes were moved to the table one after another, and at this time, Huang Xingye knew that what Ji Xiaojun said was not a kind word, but a heartfelt emotion.
ps: Thank you folks for putting Xiao Yan to the ninth place on the new book list, bow!
