Chapter 134: Just the right fit
Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly when he heard this:
"I'm preparing, and I'll take as much as I want."
Hearing this, Uncle Li couldn't help but be taken aback:
"Hey, then your business is really big enough!"
He thought that Zhao Zhuo was just here to have fun and buy some pears by the way, but now when he heard it, he knew that Zhao Zhuo had come to buy a large number of pears.
Understanding this, Uncle Li couldn't help but say with some embarrassment:
"Now that most of the pears in our village have been ordered, I am afraid that the next batch will not be available until a few months later."
Zhao Zhuo nodded helplessly when he heard this:
"Okay, then thank you, uncle, I'll look for it again."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo prepared to leave.
Just as Zhao Zhuo turned around and was about to leave, Uncle Li suddenly thought of something:
"Eh, young man, wait a minute."
Zhao Zhuo turned back with some doubts:
"What's wrong, uncle?"
Uncle Li thought for a while, and then asked with some hesitation:
"There is still a batch of pears in our village, which have not been ordered."
Hearing that there were still pears, Zhao Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but light up:
"And? How many more? ”
Uncle Li replied:
"It's a lot of it, and it's cheaper. However, it can be a bit of a problem. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help frowning:
"What's the problem? Is it rotten? ”
Uncle Li hurriedly shook his head:
"No, no, we definitely won't sell the rotten ones. It's just that... Why don't you go with me and have a look, it's not far, it's just at the east end of the village. ”
Something is better than nothing, Zhao Zhuo nodded, took Uncle Li into the car, and under his guidance, he came to a pear orchard.
When he stopped the car at the gate of the pear orchard, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned:
"So big?"
I saw this pear orchard in front of me, the area is so huge that I can't see the edge at a glance.
Tens of thousands of catties are few, and it is estimated that there must be a small 100,000 catties!
Sure enough, Uncle Li pointed to the pear orchard in front of him and said:
"This is a total of about 20 acres, and if it goes well, it can almost have a yield of about 100,000 catties."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but wonder:
"Then why haven't these pears been ordered?"
Hearing this, Uncle Li did not answer directly, but took Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun to a pear tree.
At this time, the pear tree is already full of fruit, and you can touch the fruit with a casual hand.
Uncle Li picked a pear casually, and then brought it to Zhao Zhuo's eyes and showed it to him:
"How's it going, can you see the problem?"
Zhao Zhuo took the pear and looked at it carefully, and found that it was not rotten, there was no scar, and it didn't look like there was any problem, so he shook his head.
Seeing this, Uncle Li took another pear from the car that he had just brought from the sales point, put the two together and compared them, and then asked:
"You can see the problem now, right?"
Zhao Zhuo compared the two, and found that the pear here was smaller, only two-thirds the size of the other pear.
Zhao Zhuo nodded:
"It's a little smaller."
Uncle Li smiled bitterly:
"This pear orchard is the public property of our village, so everyone doesn't care about it, and there is a problem with pollination, which makes the pears here smaller than the authentic sharp-handled pears, and the taste is more astringent."
When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he understood the reason for Uncle Li's hesitation just now.
As the business card of Ansan, the sharp pear has always enjoyed a good reputation.
Therefore, this kind of pear is not very good quality, and Uncle Li is not too embarrassed to recommend it to others.
Zhao Zhuo picked up two pears and tasted them each, and sure enough, there was some difference in taste, but overall there was not much difference.
Zhang Yun also picked it up and tasted it separately, and then said with some regret:
"The pears in this piece are a bit astringent, but they should be better when canned."
Hearing this, Uncle Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"This girl is really smart, if this pear is canned, it will indeed cover up the shortcomings of the astringency. And compared to authentic pears, these pears can be preserved for a longer period of time. ”
Zhao Zhuo asked with a smile:
"Then why not sell these pears to a cannery? It's better than rotting in the ground. ”
Uncle Li smiled bitterly when he heard this:
"Hey, we originally planned to do so, but the canning factory didn't think the sales of canned pears were good, so we didn't want it!
We opened the price to five cents a catty, and people didn't charge it! ”
As he spoke, Uncle Li picked another pear and said with some pity:
"In fact, if this pear is left for a few more days, the taste can be similar to that of an authentic sharp-handled pear.
But the problem is that people can't wait a few days after picking the pears back, so they can't look at it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes looked straight at Uncle Li and asked:
"Uncle Li, what did you just say?"
When Uncle Li saw Zhao Zhuo's expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"I said... If this pear is left for a few days, the taste can be similar to that of an authentic pointed pear. ”
Zhao Zhuo hurriedly asked:
"How many days?"
"I have to let it go for five or six days, so many people don't want it for a long time, and they don't want it when they hear it."
"Will it be ugly after five or six days?"
Uncle Li hurriedly shook his head:
"Surely not! I can guarantee that in five or six days it will look the same as it does now! ”
After listening to Uncle Li's introduction, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If the fruit is transported from Mukden to the Soviet Union, durability is a necessary condition.
Especially this kind of more and more delicious, it is a burden for others, but it is a great advantage for Zhao Zhuo.
"Uncle Li, you just said that this batch of pears costs five cents a catty?"
Uncle Li nodded:
"That's right, authentic sharp pears cost one or two yuan a catty, and this batch of five cents will be sold! As long as you can sell it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhang Yun and asked her opinion.
张芸 says:
"This batch of 100,000 catties, all of them are only 50,000 yuan. I thought, let's try. ”
Even if this batch of pears is really not good or this business is not as easy to do as Zhao Zhuo thought, but after all, the cost of trial and error is not high.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo made up his mind:
"Okay, then try!"
After speaking, Zhao Zhuo looked at Uncle Li:
"Uncle, I have taken care of this pear orchard, arrange for someone to pick it as soon as possible."
Hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Uncle Li suddenly showed a surprised expression:
"That's great! I didn't expect your business to be so big, young man! ”
This pear orchard belongs to the public property of the village, if it can be sold, then the 50,000 yuan will be divided equally by everyone, and Uncle Li is naturally very happy.
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:
"100,000 catties is not much, just to test the water. If the quality of our sharp-handled pears is really good, we can continue to cooperate later. ”
Hearing that the output of 100,000 catties was just a test of water, Uncle Li couldn't help but secretly speak.
