Thank you for your great support from tony20050503 and NGSTONE brothers today!

The next day, the old village chief counted all the chestnuts, Chu Shengmin totaled more than 6,700 catties, Widow Yang more than 5,400 catties, plus more than 2,300 catties from another family, a total of more than 14,000 catties.

Chu Jiaqiang contacted the buyer, and the other party said that it was too little, so he would not send a car over and let Chu Jiaqiang pull him to the city, and some of them would buy it in the wholesale market in the city, with prices ranging from four to eight yuan, depending on the quality of the chestnuts.

"Bagged! Today, I chartered Uncle Shengyi's car, and we pulled it to the city, and the other party also has a special acquisition point in our city. They said that the lowest price was four dollars. Chu Jiaqiang said to the three people who had chestnuts.

The other onlookers were all envious, the lowest price was four yuan, which was more than 50,000 yuan, nearly 60,000 yuan. Among them, Chu Shengmin and Widow Yang, who accounted for the majority, were the luckiest, and their income of one or two hundred thousand yuan could not escape.

The second uncle immediately went to find Chu Shengyi, and he discussed it with Widow Yang and Li Jing. He gave two hundred, Widow Yang two hundred, and Li Jing one hundred, a total of five hundred bags of Chu Shengyi's car a day.

Chu Shengyi agreed without hesitation, the city is only fifty kilometers away, and everything has arrived in about two hours. It doesn't take half a day to go back and forth, and I usually don't earn two hundred a day, except for the fuel fee, I also earn about one hundred, which is still a job to do.

Chu Jiaqiang helped to pack the chestnuts in a big snakeskin bag, and the second aunt sealed the mouth of the bag with a pin. Everyone helped to move into the car, and the three principals, plus Chu Jiaqiang, and the driver Chu Shengyi, set off towards the city together. The second uncle and Li Jing stayed in the back of the car to take care of the chestnuts, and Chu Jiaqiang and Widow Yang sat in the front of the car.

This is the first time that Chu Shengyi has driven a long distance, and it feels very good to walk on a standard provincial road.

"Jiaqiang, help me prune my fruit tree in two days, and I'm also going to manage it for a year and try the water." Chu Shengyi couldn't stand the temptation of this high profit, and was ready to work with the Chu family for a year.

"Oh! Okay! By the way, Uncle Shengyi, what kind of fruit tree is you? Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help asking. Not all fruit trees can make a lot of money, and some fruits have high yields, but the future is not too bright.

"Persimmons! Persimmon is relatively cheap, generally about a pound a piece. Chu Jiaqiang clearly explained to Chu Shengyi.

Chu Shengyi frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. If you want to say that the fruit trees are the best to take care of, count the persimmon trees, and the chestnuts have to stand in line.

The management is easy, the income period is long, generally 3~4 years after grafting begins to bear fruit, 15 years after the fruit period, the economic life span is as long as 100 years, there is "one year of planting, 100 years of income" said, it is an important tree species to develop mountainous areas to cure poverty and get rich, and it is also an excellent tree species to maintain ecological balance in nature. Persimmon trees are not strict in the selection of soil quality, regardless of mountains, hills, plains, river beaches; fertile land, barren land; Clay and sandy soil can obtain considerable yields.

Take his current acres of persimmons as an example, he has not managed them, but every year the trees are still full of persimmons, almost every one of them can be picked hundreds of catties, and the whole large area is twenty or thirty thousand catties. Every year, except for the particularly idle people, go back to pick some and soak them in water to remove the astringency of the persimmons, and most of them are hung on the trees until they are ripe and fall to the ground, which makes people feel distressed.

"I don't know if I can sell those persimmons, if I can, I will send them to the door for five cents a pound." Chu Shengyi said. He didn't know what kind of level the persimmons that had been managed by the outside people were, and he didn't know if anyone would want them.

He said this in his heart, even if it is five cents a pound, he has an income of tens of thousands of yuan. I wondered if I had to ask Chu Jiaqiang to help pick a few high-end fruits.

"Is it a lot? Go back and sell a little to me, I want some to dry, the persimmon cake tastes very good, hehe! Persimmon is not popular in our city, but the province next door has become a mainstream industry. The price is also higher, basically after some deep processing, made into persimmon cake, persimmon vinegar, lion sauce, etc., so that the profit is much higher. The price of the same persimmon has increased by four or five times when it is dried in the sun, and it has increased by more than ten times when it is made into persimmon vinegar or lion sauce. Chu Jiaqiang said what he knew.

"What to sell? If you kid want, go to the tree and pick it at will. It's just that how to sell this method is a headache, and it's troublesome to go out of the province! Chu Shengyi was a little bitter, why did he plant persimmon trees in the first place?

"Don't! I want more, weigh a few hundred pounds for me, and I want a dollar. And Uncle Shengyi, you don't have to worry, you can take it off, peel it off, and dry it into persimmon cakes. Persimmon cakes don't need to go out of the province, but also bring to the urban wholesale market, five or six yuan dare not say, but three or four yuan a pound wholesale is definitely not difficult. Chu Jiaqiang showed him a clear way.

Chu Shengyi's eyes lit up suddenly, three or four yuan a catty? It is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 catties of dried persimmon cakes, which is a big income. Even the widow Yang next to her was wide-eyed, and it seemed that this guy was earning more than herself.

"If you don't have to sell it, you don't have to sell it, it's still the same sentence, how much do you have to pick yourself. But Uncle has a request for you to help guide the practice of persimmon cakes, which should be different from our practice in the countryside, right? Chu Shengyi said that he would not accept Chu Jiaqiang's money, and he still had something to ask him.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't insist, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over to help when the time comes." In fact, it's much the same, we eat ourselves in the countryside, and we don't have to be too particular. If you sell them, the main thing is to make them look more beautiful, and press them a little more regularly when they are about to dry. ”

The two chatted and chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived in the city, Chu Jiaqiang pointed the way, and the car drove into the wholesale market.

After getting out of the car, Chu Jiaqiang called the person in charge again, and the other party quickly came to him. Say hello to each other, scatter a circle of cigarettes, and go straight to the point: "Let's take a look at the goods first!" ”

"Good!" Chu Jiaqiang climbed onto the car and pulled out a bag for each of the three of them, and the people below carried it down.

Pulling the mouth of the bag, the person in charge shook the snakeskin bag from side to side a few times before picking up some and taking a closer look.

"The quality is not too good! The chestnut variety is okay. The person in charge said.

The second uncle was just about to speak, but Chu Jiaqiang preemptively said: "Our chestnuts are all natural, and their appearance naturally cannot be compared with those who eat chemical fertilizers and pesticides." You are a person who has been dealing with chestnuts for many years, and this should not escape your golden eyes. ”

"Oh? That's it! The man suddenly groaned, no wonder he secretly said, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides were applied, and it was natural that he was small.

"So be it! Since you say so, I won't lower the price. Like the quality of this bag, I usually buy it for four yuan and five cents, and I think these chestnuts are all green food, so I pay five yuan, right? "The man seemed to have made a big decision. Then he gave five and a half yuan to Widow Yang, and five and a half yuan to Li Jing.

When the second uncle and the others heard this, they all looked slightly happy, they thought that they would deal with it at the lowest price, but they didn't expect it to be one yuan higher, which was a few thousand yuan more.

Seeing that the price was about the same, Chu Jiaqiang didn't bother anymore and immediately helped move in.

When the number was settled, the second uncle took more than 30,000, Widow Yang also had nearly 30,000, and Li Jing, the least, also had more than 10,000, and the three of them were happy.

Chu Shengyi only had envy, but he thought that as long as he made a good persimmon cake, 30,000 yuan would not be difficult. He hurriedly dragged Chu Jiaqiang to take a look at the wholesale situation of persimmon cakes, and saw that the most expensive wholesale price was as expensive as eight yuan, which really shocked him for a long time. However, Chu Jiaqiang told him that that kind of persimmon cake is a variety only found in the north, which is more precious, and with the freight, this price is not surprising.

This time, Chu Shengyi already knew the bottom in his heart. He found that the lowest price was really more than three yuan, which looked ugly, as long as he did some better, it was definitely better than those bottom goods, and it was not a problem to sell it for four yuan. That's more than 40,000, which is also an astonishing fortune.
