48. Gaojia fruit

I didn't say anything all night, and I got up early the next day, but I didn't expect Xia Qing to get up earlier than me.

"How's it going, are you sleeping well?" I asked, still a little worried that she wasn't used to it.

"It's good, it's the first time I've slept on the village kang, haha! You lived here when you were a kid, huh? Xia Qing said with a smile, I didn't expect this girl in the city to suffer more than I imagined.

"yes. I didn't expect you to be so adaptable? It seems that it is quite suitable to be our people here, so don't go! I joked.

"Okay! At least the air here is clean and there is no smog, right? It's very suitable for the elderly! If one day you are too old to work, you can simply retire here! Xia Qing said with a smile.

"Okay! Being our daughter-in-law saves even the rent! I teased.

"Who is rare!" Xia Qing's face turned red and turned her back, her back looked very good in the sun.

At breakfast, my mother pulled Xia Qing to ask a lot of questions, but Xia Qing answered politely.

Come to think of it, my mother really regards Xia Qing as her daughter-in-law.

It's no wonder, after all, ordinary friends don't follow strange men home casually, right? Could it be that Xia Qing is really interesting to me?

Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, so there is basically no movement at home. After breakfast, I took the summer sunny to the mountains for a walk.

Since I got the bracelet, if I don't have anything special, I've basically insisted on walking a few kilometers every day. After persevering for so many days, the whole person's spirit feels much better.

Xia Qing and I walked up the hill one after the other, where there were a series of fruit trees planted by the villagers. These fruit trees have been there since I was a child, and they are also where we played games as children.

On the way, I met some people from the village, smiling and saying hello. At first, Xia Qing was a little restrained, but when she got to the mountains, she began to spread joy like a rabbit in the field.

"I didn't expect you to be quite good here, the air is good, the scenery is good, and there are so many fruit trees. Let me say, Gao Chao, you don't need to go so far to Dragon City to study, it's good to farm here! ”

"How can I meet you if I don't go to Dragon City?" I said with a smile.

"Is it that important to meet me? If you can't meet me, wouldn't it be nice to find a girl in your village to marry and live! ”

I shook my head and smiled wryly. I thought to myself, staying in the village for two or three days, I guess it still feels fresh. If you stay in the village for the rest of your life, you won't find it fun.

On the way back, I met the second uncle and the second aunt carrying farm tools home, so I stepped forward and asked, "Second uncle, how is the family's income in the past two years?" ”

Seeing that I asked about the income, the old couple suddenly said with a sad face: "Don't mention it, when the fruit market was good in the first two years, there was still an income of two or three thousand per acre of land." In the past two years, more people have planted fruit trees, but their income has decreased. You see, there are several mountains over there that have not picked the fruit, but they can't afford to sell it! ”

"Just from the rotten tree?" Xia Qing asked.

"Yes, if you pick it yourself, you can't pick it, and if you hire someone to pick it, you won't even be able to get the capital back. In the past two years, we have begun to plant fruit trees in our town, but although the varieties we introduced are sweet, they don't look good, so they can't be sold at a price. The second uncle said.

"Not really! Chao Wazi, you are very educated in reading, and some time ago, my second uncle and I were still discussing whether to cut down these trees. The second aunt also added helplessly.

"Do we use pesticides for fruit trees here?" Xia Qing asked.

"Pesticides? Didn't hit. I don't have the money to fight, you think, girl, you can't get it back if you don't take medicine, if you do, won't you be even more unable to get it back. The second aunt said and walked away slowly.

"Gao Chao, the air here is so good, and these fruit trees have not been sprayed, so they can be certified as organic food? Right? Even if you can't get organic food, it's okay to put a green and pollution-free label! Xia Qing said.

"Oh, that's right. But wouldn't it be a hassle to toss around these? We only stay at home for two or three days, and we have to go back to Dragon City in two years, where is the time to fix this? Listening to Xia Qing's words, my heart moved, but the idea was immediately abandoned.

If this idea can be realized, there must be people in the village who have thought about it, but why didn't it happen? While thinking, I went home.

Along the way, Xia Qing was thinking about her green organic food, and said to me while pondering: "Gao Chao, do you know how much more expensive the food with the green organic label in Dragon City is than the average one?" ”

"I haven't bought it, I don't know!" I said.

"If it's organic, it's at least three or four times more expensive than ordinary food; Even those with a green and pollution-free label are one to two times more expensive. I see that you are also beautiful here, and there are basically no factories and mines along the way, I just checked the PM25 index is only more than 20 points, which is better than those resorts in Dragon City! ”

"But we're so far away from Longcheng, there's no way you can pull these fruits and vegetables to Longcheng to sell, right? How much does it cost to transport it? "I was thinking about Xia Qing's thoughts in my heart, and I estimated the feasibility of what she said.

"I didn't say that I would have to transport these fruits to Dragon City, but if you think about it, you are very close to Kyoto and the provincial capital! If you can transport things from here to your provincial capital, or even Kyoto, you'll earn it! Let's just do it? I'll make a few phone calls. ”

Xia Qing said that she took out her mobile phone and contacted her, and after contacting her, she was really contacted by her to do a fruit wholesale business.

"Didn't I meet a few friends in Kyoto two days ago? One of them is a fruit and vegetable wholesale business, and their business is quite large, and it is estimated that more than half of the fruits and vegetables in the entire Kyoto area have been owned by his family. The other party listened to what I said and was very interested, but they had a condition. Xia Qing put down the phone and said.

"What conditions?"

"They want us to do the basic processing and packaging, and the process of organic certification is relatively long, but it is not much of a problem to process the fruit in their capacity. And I just picked an apple and ate it, and it tastes really good. How's that, are you interested in making this project a reality? Xia Qing asked with interest.

I didn't expect Xia Qing to really think about it, but if you want to do this, you have to find someone in the village to be responsible, we have other things at hand, so it's impossible to keep an eye on this matter all the time.

I told Xia Qing about my confusion, and Xia Qing said: "I don't care about what you said, you are more familiar here, why not find someone to be responsible, right?" ”

When I got home, I told my parents what had happened, and to our surprise, they were very excited.

"I can do this!" My dad volunteered, his face flushed and he looked excited.

I forgot that my dad was also a very good person in the village, I remember that when I was a child, he was one of the first to plant fruit trees in the village, and he used to follow people to transport them in the early years.

It's just that I'm older in the past two years, and I'm a little less when I go out for a run.

"You have it, you still think you're a young man? Besides, you have to invest a lot of money to do this, right? Where in our village is anyone willing to invest this money! "Compared to my dad's enthusiasm, my mom seems to be very pragmatic.

"Uncle, auntie, you don't have to worry about money, our business friends in Kyoto say they are willing to invest, you just need to organize the people who can be used in the village. If you are interested? I told my friend how much money he needed, and they would be able to get it at any time. Xia Qing smiled and comforted.

"This, this, is there really such a good thing?!" My parents couldn't believe that these were true, but fortunately Xia Qing didn't say that the money was from our company, otherwise my parents wouldn't have to be stupid!

Fortunately, I was on the road just now, so I discussed it with Xia Qing, not to mention the current situation of our company, so as not to make the two old people unable to accept it for a while.

In my parents' opinion, it is not easy to study in Dragon City, find a job after graduation, and stay in the big city, millions and tens of millions are as far away as a dream for them.

Two months ago, I didn't dare to think about these things, but now we have all managed the billions of business, and it is only a matter of several million yuan in total to get a fruit packaging and processing plant, of course.

After listening to Xia Qing's words, my father immediately gathered some relatives and friends in several villages to discuss. At first, everyone didn't believe that there would be such a pie-in-the-sky thing, thinking that Xia Qing and I were here to fool around.

Later, everyone finally figured out one thing, anyway, there is no need for the village people to pay for this thing, everyone can help not only get the money, but also dispose of the fruit in the garden, why not?

As the saying goes, there is a lot of power in numbers, and the people in the village quickly took action, and the place to build the factory and the people involved, Xia Qing and I contacted Kyoto and quickly got a set of fruit packaging processing production line.

According to the suggestions of the villagers, the factory was built relatively simple at the beginning, with a rainproof shelter and cement floor, and the packaging processing production line was cheaper than we imagined, and the whole investment was only a few hundred thousand.

In addition, Xia Qing and I also contacted a packaging design company and an organic food certification agency separately.

The latter takes longer, but the former is simpler, and Xia Qing directly asked an acquaintance to help get it.

When deciding on the name, Xia Qing and I struggled for a while, and finally we planned to name the fruit in Gaojia Town "Gaojia Fruit".

The name Gaojia is because of the place of origin, although we mainly produce apples here, but in addition to apples, the whole Gaojia town also produces hawthorn, walnuts, dates, pears and other seasonal fruits and dried fruits.

It is called "Gaojia Fruit" to cover a wider range, and in addition to selling apples in the future, it can also sell others.

Originally, I planned to stay at home for two or three days before leaving, but I didn't expect this busy time to be more than a week. After getting up early and going to bed late for a week, the first fruit processing factory in Gaojia Town was officially built, and the entire investment was only more than 500,000 yuan.

Before leaving, I transferred another 500,000 yuan to my father, so that he could recruit people, purchases, transportation and other things. Xia Qing gave my dad the contact information of the company in Kyoto. This matter is basically handed over.

"Thank you, Natsu! On behalf of the whole village, I thank you! Before leaving, my dad held Xia Qing's hand and said.

"Don't talk about that, uncle, you know, it's part of our investment. I'm going to come over when I'm done. Xia Qing said.

"Come home at any time! You and Gao Chao are not busy, come back at any time to take a look! "My mother was reluctant to let go of Xia Qing's hand, after watching me and Xia Qing busy in the past few days, she basically decided that Xia Qing was the future daughter-in-law of the Gao family.
