The predicament of the harvest year, the fruit is cheap and hurts the farmers.

This phenomenon was also common in previous lives.

I still remember the year she came here, in the previous life should be 2015, that year, Shaanxi's apples were harvested, but in the end they suffered a "cheap fruit hurt farmers", a few yuan a pound of apples were finally sold to a few cents per catty, and I listened to friends talk about this topic during dinner, saying that the bananas fell to three cents a catty, and the lychees were rotten on the trees, and I also took out my mobile phone to search for news photos for everyone to see.

At that time, everyone was very emotional.

They all sighed at the difficulty of fruit farmers.

I didn't expect that in this life, this kind of thing really happened to me!

For a while, Zhao Qing's face was particularly ugly.

The second old man, who was still dancing with his eyebrows, also had a face as earthy.

Seeing the two of them like this, Gu Changsheng's body was shaky.

"How so?" The second wife stood up suddenly, "When the purchase price was the highest last year, it used to be fifteen cents per catty!" ”

"That was last year!" Gu Changsheng said, he looked at Zhao Qing, "Master Cao said that last year was because the peach harvest in the surrounding counties was not good, and the supply of peaches exceeded demand. ”

Mr. Cao is the largest fruit merchant in Jianing County.

The family has more than 100 carriages, and has its own dart master, has a fixed sales network, in the past two years, the fruits in Jianing County are purchased by him and exported.

There are also sporadic individual customers who come to pull goods, but they are only a few.

And Jianing County is a large fruit area. There are tens of thousands of acres of fruit forests in the county, pointing to the surrounding merchants to pull goods, which is a drop in the bucket.

"That's not going to drop to a penny!" The second wife's face turned red. "He's just relying on us to be inseparable from him, holding it!" She looked at the second master, "When we lived in Guqian Town, the new peaches were not all two or three hundred wen in any year, and the highest peach was three hundred and fifty wen, and I never had less than forty wen in my memory!" ”

Although he doesn't understand business, he was born in a business family after all. Especially the Shen family used to dominate the market, and the second wife still knows a little about this kind of monopoly sales.

Thinking of his hard work for a year, he was finally held in the hands of someone so lightly. The second wife was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently.

Seeing that her body was shaky, Zhao Qing hurriedly shook her hand and explained softly:

"Peaches are not produced around Tam Sai Province, and they are transported from here to there. Along the way, you need to pay for the hotel, dart, and carriage. There is also mildew and deterioration, and it is good to have three catties left after ten catties of peaches are transported to the ground...... Naturally, the price will be doubled. ”

The second wife's face turned red and she opened her mouth to argue.

Zhao Qing said again, "That's how to do business, sit on the ground and pay back the money on the spot, and we can bargain slowly when he gives a penny...... Don't worry, I'll figure out how to do this. ”

Figured it out?

What else can they do?

The second old man looked particularly depressed.

“…… Not to mention the fruit farmers who hired them, the few cellars of ice we saved alone cost thousands of taels of silver! ”

Here in the summer. There is no air conditioning, so you can rely on the ice stored in the winter to cool off.

For this. Zhao Qing deliberately asked Chi Feng to dig five large cellars in the backyard of the Longmen Inn to store ice cubes, the second wife was too extravagant, Zhao Qing perfunctorily said that it was to store peaches in the summer, which was a coping word, but he didn't expect the second master to keep it in mind.

Thinking that these ice dollars were completely lost, I couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Yesterday, Changsheng said that if the trouble is not good, the price will be reduced, I still don't believe it," he said, and the second master whispered, "Plant a grain ......of millet in spring, and grow ten thousand seeds in autumn." There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. At the end, he slammed his fist on the desk, "I used to read books, but I never understood it, and I thought it was nonsense...... Only now do I understand that the more abundant the harvest, the more the farmers will starve to death! ”

As he was talking, Shuxiang hurriedly came in and replied, "...... Tian Zhongli's family is here. ”

Tian Zhongli is also a large peach farmer in Jianing County, with 1,500 acres of peach forests at home, and he came to Zhao Qing to discuss the sale of peaches.

As soon as I sat down on this side, there were peach households gathered in a semi-idle place one after another.

With 1,000 acres of peach forest, the Shen family is not the largest peach farmer in Jianing County, but the fourth aunt of the Shen family is the nephew of Lord Feng......

These peach farmers have vaguely regarded the Shen family as their backbone.

When encountering this kind of thing, first of all, they all come to the semi-idle house to inquire about the movement.

For a full morning, half-idleness is like boiling a pot.

The shelf life of peaches after ripening is very short, and if they do not find a market in time, they will soon be moldy.

In addition to going out to find a market by himself, he is to negotiate with Cao Zhi!

However, in this ancient era of transportation and underdevelopment, how easy was it to transport the fruit to a farther place to sell it during the preservation period?

She wanted to ask Yang Ziqian to help see if she could open up sales channels in Zhongzhou Mansion, and she had lived in Guyan Town for a few years, and the price of peaches there was dozens of times that of here.

If you can transport it over, you won't earn a little bit of money, and if you make a fuss, it will be millions of profits.

This thought came together, and even Zhao Qing's heart was pounding.

Who knows, as soon as she raised her head, everyone blew up.

One by one, they shook their heads into rattles.

"It's been at least twenty-five days from here to Zhongzhou, and the peaches have already been rotten when they arrive there!"

"The Cao family is powerful enough, and peaches are only sold in the southern part of Nanzhou Prefecture!"

"If it can really be transported there, do you think the Cao family will not be lucky?"

"That is, if it can really be shipped over, how can Tan Xi's peach price be so high?"

“……”

Zhao Qing just said a word, which caused a group attack from everyone, although Zhao Qing repeatedly said that she had a way to ensure that the peaches could be safely transported to Zhongzhou Mansion without rotting, but everyone just didn't believe it.

When it comes to business, they are indeed not as shrewd as the famous third grandmother.

When it comes to storing peaches and serving the fruit forest for several lifetimes, they are all real experts!

They have never heard of anyone who can transport ripe peaches to a place that takes more than five days to make peaches!

Seeing that none of the people agreed with him and dared to cooperate with him, Zhao Qing simply shut up.

It wasn't until late in the evening that everyone finally came to an agreement.

recommended Zhao Qing, who was eloquent, and several other representatives, and came to Cao's Mansion together to find Cao Zhi.

“…… I will pay for everything, if you don't want to sell, you can keep it yourself! Cao Zhi's sonorous voice was categorical.

After speaking, regardless of everyone's nephrite pleading, under the protection of several nursing homes with big shoulders and round waists, he walked away like the wind.

Leaving a group of helpless fruit farmers, crying without tears.

Zhao Qing returned to the semi-idle residence and was already in charge of the lamp.

Chunlan and Sister-in-law Zhou coaxed Brother Fu and Brother Rong to play rope in the courtyard.

Seeing Zhao Qing coming back, Fu Ge'er threw the rope in his hand and pounced, "...... Mother, mother! ”

Brother Rong looked down at the half-turned rope in a daze.

Chunlan stood up with her clumsy stomach.

"How?" She looked at Zhao Qing worriedly, "Can the price of peaches rise?" (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm sorry, I worked overtime today, and it's half past nine when I get home.
