Chapter 1105: Selling Fruits and Making a Fortune

With his wisdom, it was easy to figure out why he had done this.

Cranberries can float on the water, as long as they are beaten by a machine, as they were just now, so that collecting them can reduce a lot of effort and time.

It used to be a valley and a road, but now it's blocked with bags full of dirt at both ends, and then pumped from Lake Rota, not far away.

Standing on the edge of the artificial lake, Han Xuan fished a handful of cranberries from the water and washed them directly with the lake water to eat, he was different from the rich three generations of Europe who were brainwashed by aristocratic etiquette, and he was not so particular.

The cranberries are quite large, at least larger than those that Han Xuan had eaten before, and the taste is not as sweet as strawberries, but the unique taste is very attractive.

There are strawberries, cranberries, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, etc., so many kinds of berries, the English suffix "berry" is the same, but they are not the same.

The first three are in the Rosaceae family, while blueberries and cranberries are in the Rhododendron family.

Blackberries look like mulberries, and the difference between them is almost imperceptible, but the two are actually different types.

"I knew I wouldn't have eaten breakfast just now, so I came here to eat whatever I wanted.

It's all very nutritious and good, no pesticides and fertilizers are useless, but it's a pity that I can't eat it, and I burp ......"

Han Xuan hiccuped and walked towards the place where the crowd had gathered.

Secretary Shen, a snack merchant, also fished a handful of cranberries from the lake, nodded while eating, and clearly wrote "Delicious!" on his face. Happy! ”

After the old man came to the Snow Mountain Ranch, it was not like a vacation, but more like he came to help with farm work.

He likes to do things with his own hands, and he usually doesn't even have to open the door himself, and the assistants are well arranged.

Now he is using an air pump to inflate the rubber boat, and the branches of the low cranberries are flooded with water, and people can't go down directly, for fear that the cranberries will be soaked in the water, and they must be fished ashore quickly.

There are already a few people salvaging on the water, and the rubber boat is of good quality, and the branches that are not too hard cannot be broken.

They scooped the cranberries out of the water with nets and put them in the cabin of the dinghy.

After filling, someone on the shore pulls the rope back, drags the boat back to the shore, dumps the cranberries and sets off again......

Within the field of vision, there is a fiery busy scene, probably out of the primitive instinct deep in people's genes, and they always feel happy when they see a good harvest.

Han Xuan's mother poured the cranberries into the washing machine, and after simply rinsing them first, the cranberries automatically fell into the plastic basket, and someone loaded them onto the tractor when the basket was filled.

Later, they will be transported to the newly built fruit processing plant, and after picking and selling, they will decide whether to sell them fresh or dried cranberries.

Han Xuan couldn't help here, he looked at it for a few minutes and walked south.

Cranberries are not expensive, and blueberries are more valuable.

With the fanatical love of blueberries in the West, although the scale of blueberry cultivation has expanded a lot in recent years, it is still in short supply for a long time.

The selling price of cranberries is only about one dollar a pound, while the price of blueberries purchased by buyers can reach about four or five dollars, and the retail price in the market is generally ten dollars a pound.

The old man has a stable and huge sales channel, and the fruits of the Snow Mountain Ranch are the same as milk, which are all self-produced and sold.

The lowest price of blueberries in the Snow Mountain Ranch was $20 a pound last year, and the large blueberries selected were even more expensive, and some people rushed to ask for $50 a pound.

Last year, it was sent to the supermarket, and it was bought out as soon as it was put on the shelves, and people have a special love for the products of Snow Mountain Ranch, which are exported to Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries.

The yield of one acre is about 9,000 kilograms, and at the average price of thirty dollars a catty, one acre of blueberries can bring in a net profit of more than 500,000 US dollars.

Last year, many trees did not reach the age of fruiting, but this year they began to be harvested, and blueberry trees like this were planted in the Snow Mountain Ranch for a thousand acres, in addition to the cost of labor and transportation, and there was also distribution to the SOS Group, which was enough for Han Qianshan to make a lot of money......

Last year, most of the blueberry picking was done by hand, and this year I just bought 30 special raspberry picking trucks.

In fact, cranberries can also be picked by it, but the number of dismantling and picking cars is not enough, and the terrain is not very suitable, so the old method is adopted.

Standing on the side of the road and waiting, when a raspberry pick-up truck came to him, Han Xuan clearly found that the car drove over the bushes, and then the blueberries on the branches were gone.

They were magically driven to the roof of the car, where many workers stood, packing them into boxes.

Every now and then they stop and leave the boxes of blueberries on the side of the road, and a truck pulls them away.

Heavy trucks on the road are constantly flowing, producing nearly 20,000 tons of fruit in total, but they can't just be taken away.

As usual, Han Xuan also tasted some blueberries, but his stomach was uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to eat too much.

He said to the people around him, "Let's eat fruit here for lunch, call Joanna, we won't go back at noon, we don't need to prepare lunch." ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Miller, the head of the orchard, and then went to the place where Miller had spoken......

In order to increase the number of snow-capped mountain pasture sites, a small tropical botanical garden was built near the orchard last year.

Next to it is the bizarre space botanical garden that was planted with seeds from the seeds that I had brought from NASA headquarters when I went to NASA headquarters.

It covers a small area of just over 1,000 square meters, and is built with double glazing, and in winter there is heating to create an environment suitable for tropical plants.

It was the beginning of summer, and the temperature outside was about 22 degrees Celsius, and when Miller led them into the glass conservatory, the heat was blowing in their faces.

Han Xuan looked at the thermometer hanging on the door, and it was converted to 37 degrees Celsius.

Tropical plants, which have been brought in from far and wide, grow very well here, and banana trees have lush leaves and have produced several large bunches of green fruits, which are not yet edible.

The dragon fruit is still a seedling, and the long row looks like a cactus.

When the papaya was ripe, Han Xuan reached out and picked a papaya, threw it to Secretary Shen and said, "Eat more, it's good for you." ”

She asked confusedly, "Why?"

There are papaya trees in front of my house, and there are a lot of things on the treasure island, and I'm tired of eating them. ”

Han Xuan did not answer, the following words will be said to tease his subordinates, if he is accused, ten million dollars may not be able to solve it.

As if he hadn't heard, he smiled mysteriously and continued to look around.

At this moment, stop by a tree.

There are more than a dozen huge green fruits on it, a bit like a durian, but there are not as many thorns, and it is also larger than a durian.

This fruit is called jackfruit, and it is a completely different fruit from pineapple.

He came here specifically for this, and just now I heard my dad say that jackfruit is ripe, and I want to pick one and take it home to taste.

If you are not used to eating it, you will think it is unpalatable, but if you like it, you will never forget the aroma of jackfruit.

Han Xuan likes to eat jackfruit very much, and asked Miller at this moment: "Are these ripe?" ”

Seeing that Mr. Miller nodded, and then said to Owen: "Help me pick a big one, I'm going to take ......"
