Chapter Forty-Nine: The First Trial

After a few more days, the strawberries in Li Chen's greenhouse began to ripen in a large area.

Li Chen specially found Li Liwen and told him that the strawberries he planted were ripe, and invited the villagers to try them for free.

Li Liwen is also very strange, Li Chen planted strawberries he knew, but he was really a little surprised that they could ripen so quickly. But after eating the strawberries brought by Li Chen, his face changed.

Broadcast on a loudspeaker to mobilize the villagers to go to Li Chenshan to taste strawberries. In the winter, everyone's work is already small, and many idlers really came to Li Chen's, and after eating some, they were all amazed.

Since it is a free tasting, Li Chen has no obligation to let them be full, but he still prepared some small items such as soap, shampoo, and towels as small souvenirs, and sent them to everyone at the same time, and asked everyone to do free publicity for him.

Everyone got something for nothing, how could they be unhappy, and Li Chen didn't have any special requirements for them, just a little publicity for himself within the scope of his activities.

There are no constraints on this kind of thing, so everyone naturally has no psychological burden. But after coming and going, Li Chen's strawberries still spread nearby, and even spread to several nearby villages.

At the same time, Li Chen went to the city again, first went to the carton factory to see the samples of the cartons ordered, and then went to the agricultural wholesale market and found the fruit merchants.

First took out the strawberries and let them taste them, which immediately attracted their praise and their eyes lit up.

After that, we will talk about the price.

The off-season fruit itself has a huge advantage, and Li Chen's strawberry is not only big, good looking, but also tastes good, which can be regarded as a rare and superb strawberry.

Which of these fruit merchants is not a human spirit?

Although the things are good, they still have to go and see Li Chen's actual planting situation.

Li Chen naturally agreed.

Seeing that the New Year's Day is approaching, it is the time for the fruit merchants to show their talents, so the fruit merchants are more anxious than Li Chen.

When they arrived here, the fruit merchants were a little depressed at first, after all, Li Chen only had one greenhouse, but when he went inside, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw that although the strawberry seedlings inside were dense, they grew extremely vigorously, and they pulled them with their hands, and each plant had at least twenty or thirty large fruits hanging on it. The smallest fruit also has more than 20 grams, and the big ones are about 40~50 grams.

So calculated, the first stubble, I am afraid that there must be 20,000 or 30,000 strawberries, each strawberry according to 30 grams, but also about 1200 ~ 1800 catties, this season according to 20 yuan per catty is not a problem, these strawberries will be able to sell to about 24,000-36,000.

And this kind of strawberry is really not suitable for bulk sales, it is really suitable for boxed sales.

Even if the price is set higher, it is better to be listed in advance, and the texture is so good, the hot sale is certain. And once it is a hot sale, they are also very profitable.

Suddenly, the merchants became excited. In addition, nearby villagers and even villagers from other villages also came here to buy strawberries in a scattered manner, and they were full of praise for strawberries, which strengthened the confidence of the merchants.

However, for the sake of insurance, these people still asked Li Chen to let them take some samples and go to a professional institution for laboratory testing and identification, to see if there were any prohibited fertilizers such as hormones.

and stated that as long as the test was qualified, they would immediately negotiate with Li Chen about the order.

Li Chen understood it very well and expected it. Let them go! And I just took the opportunity to order all the cartons. In addition, he also went to the brigade headquarters, found Secretary Li Liwen, and asked him for help, saying that he would hire a few people from the village to help pick strawberries, it doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman, he is diligent in his hands, careful in his heart, and free in time.

Li Liwen didn't expect Li Chen to make a move in such a few days, he was very surprised, but he didn't refuse, he made a lot of money for him and found four diligent people.

According to Li Chen, as soon as he has something to say, these people will be in place immediately.

After solving these problems, Li Chen patiently waited for the results.

Four days later, the results came out, and Li Chen's fruit was really pure green organic strawberries without any pesticides.

Now the merchants have come to the spirit, and they have come to talk about orders.

Of course, the quantity ordered in the early stage is not much, and it is also sold in bulk, and the price is not very high, at 40 yuan per kilogram.

Li Chen knew that they also had to see the reaction of the market, so they were not in a hurry, the so-called wine fragrance was not afraid of deep alleys, and it was natural that buyers would not worry about it for a long time.

And after these merchants pulled the goods away, they really came back to the door within two days.

Without him, once the strawberries came out, the sales were very hot, and the sales volume was also rising, and the supply was in short supply. Not only retail investors, but also some boutique fruit stores have begun to pay attention.

No, the merchants tasted the sweetness and hurriedly pounced again.

No, they didn't need Li Chen to say anything, they competed with each other to raise the price, and in the end, the price per kilogram was about 70 yuan.

Even so, the merchants are crazy about grabbing.

Li Chen's greenhouse became very busy for a while, and the helpers were tired and killed one by one, eager to turn the sky and the day, so that they could barely meet the demand for pulling goods.

Don't underestimate the work of picking strawberries, you can't be in a hurry or be rough, otherwise it's easy to hurt the strawberries and step on the seedlings. In addition, Li Chen's density is too dense, so everyone's speed can't be fast.

However, the villagers were surprised when they were busy, because no one expected Li Chen to have this ability, this strawberry is really covered! After all, it's not like no one has ever made a greenhouse on the mountain field before, but they can't grow this effect, this kid really has two hits, and he deserves to be a graduate of a famous university.

Everyone talked about it, but the work in hand was not slack.

After all, the money Li Chen promised to give was really interesting, 20 yuan an hour during the day, 30 yuan an hour for the night shift, two meals a day at noon and at night, and a supper if he worked overtime at night.

This kind of treatment also makes everyone speechless!

Of course, the meal was not made by Li Chen, but ordered from Qi Xiangju, the only small restaurant in Tizhi Village.

Li Kaifu, the owner of Qi Xiangju, is also happy.

Since Li Chen came back, his small restaurants have been opened many times, and many guests from the city have eaten at him. This time there was such a big move, and now the more he looked at Li Chen, the more he felt that this kid was pleasing to the eye.

Also pleasing to his eyes is Li Liwen.

He was also very pleased to see that this kid had actually made some movement in a short period of time.

My mother and Li Xue also came early, and they didn't believe it at first, until the car pulling the goods came, and the car pulled away, and Li Chen handed them a step on the cash to count, and they came back to their senses.

Looking at the piles of bills, they were so excited, don't mention it.

As for Li Chen, he has already set his sights on a farther place, and now it is just a small test of the knife, a preliminary look at the power of the book from the ground, around May Day next year, and when those pears come down, it will really usher in a small **.

And by the end of next year to the year after, as I make this kind of pear into a brand, the greater success will be just around the corner.

However, through greenhouse planting, he can feel that he still needs to broaden his horizons and ideas, and not be limited by one or two or a few things.

After all, he has a wonderful book from the ground, as long as he grasps this resource, he can continue to explore new things, thinking of this, Li Chen can't help but surge with passion.

"Chen, Nuo, this is all the money, after deducting labor costs, material costs, meal costs, etc., a total of 43,900 yuan remains. Do you order more? ”

When Mom and Li Xue pushed a suitcase of banknotes in front of Li Chen, both of them couldn't calm down for a long time.

It's only been a few days, and Li Chen actually earned so much just by selling a strawberry!

Li Chen didn't go to order: "I still can't believe you!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Sister, why don't you come back and help me?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Xue was a little stunned.

Li Chen said again: "Sister, Mom, you have all seen it, our mountain farm is about to be busy, this is just the beginning, I am a little busy alone, if it is after next spring, when the pears come down, I will be even busier." Mom takes care of our brother, and she definitely can't be separated, so if you quit your current job to help me! ”
