30. Cooperate with supermarkets
"Selling watermelons, fairy drunk watermelons, a specialty of Youxian Village, it doesn't cost money if it's not delicious."
Since the end of May, villagers from Youxian Village have been selling watermelons in several surrounding towns, on the roadside of Yulong Lake, and even in the county seat.
Moreover, the price of the watermelons they sell is very high, several times higher than that of ordinary watermelons, which makes many people look at and discuss, and they don't believe that there are such expensive watermelons.
"It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, everyone can come and try a piece. This is a characteristic industry developed by Youxian Village, Ludong Town, where the gods are drunk with watermelon, which is not only nutritious, but also able to reduce heat and heat, and can also treat minor stomach problems. The villagers carried out propaganda according to what Mo Changfeng said.
At the same time, they all cut open a watermelon and cut it into small pieces, and the fragrance emitted made the onlookers drool, and everyone stepped forward to taste a small piece curiously.
"Damn, this watermelon is delicious." Someone said in shock.
"Damn, there are such delicious watermelons, I feel like I ate all the watermelons in vain." Someone said with a sigh.
"No wonder people's watermelons are so expensive, they are really worth the money." Someone nodded and said.
"Boss, weigh me half a watermelon." Some people immediately decided to buy it, hoping to take it back to their families and try it.
"I also want half, can the boss give a little discount?" There are also people who want to bargain with the boss after deciding to buy it.
However, the villagers all agreed that no matter where they sell watermelons, they will all sell for 20 yuan a catty, so no one will easily give a discount.
This is not only related to the problem of their money, but also related to the fruit brand of Youxian Village, according to what Mo Changfeng told everyone, whether it is the language of propaganda or the price, the whole village must be unified, so that when the village sells other fruits in the future, everyone will slowly be able to accept such an expensive price.
"Mr. Li, do you think the watermelon I planted is worth thirty yuan a catty?" On June 3, Mo Changfeng accompanied a young woman with an elegant temperament to sit in his gazebo, chatting while tasting watermelon.
This woman's name is Li Ting, and she is the vice president of the chain fruit supermarket in the provincial capital that Mo Changfeng contacted, and she made a special trip to take the team down to accept the Mo family's watermelons.
"Brother Mo, the watermelon you planted tastes really good, very delicious, and it's the best watermelon I've ever tasted." Li Ting nodded, his eyes smiling and half-narrowed, as beautiful as two crescent moons.
"Mr. Li, after preliminary testing, this variety of watermelon contains a wealth of various elements, which is higher in nutrition than most fruits in our supermarket, and all of them are beneficial to the body." Soon, the staff of the supermarket inspection team came over and said excitedly.
"Okay, since you have passed our test, then buy your watermelon at the price you said. But Brother Mo, your cherries are growing well and in very good condition, remember our agreement, and notify me as soon as they are ripe. Li Ting said very simply.
"Okay, then I'll immediately organize people to pick watermelons, and the first batch of ripe ones is about 2,000 kilograms. As for the cherries, Mr. Li can rest assured that they can only be sold at a high price if they are handed over to you, and I am not at ease when they are handed over to others. Mo Changfeng said with a smile.
This year's watermelons can probably harvest more than 300,000 yuan, but Mo Changfeng believes that after Li Ting takes them, they can sell them for at least fifty yuan a pound in their supermarket, and they can probably earn half of their own money after removing various costs.
Subsequently, Mo Changfeng invited some villagers to pick watermelons, and in half a day, he picked those ripe watermelons and loaded them onto the supermarket's constant temperature transport vehicle.
"128,400 yuan, excluding 1,400 yuan in labor wages, 3,000 yuan in various management costs, and 124,000 yuan in profit." In the evening, Mo Changfeng calculated the accounts in front of his family, and it was another income of more than 100,000 yuan.
"Changfeng, at the end of this month, the peaches at home are going to ripen, right?" Mo Shifu asked.
"Yes, this year's peaches are also expected to be able to harvest more than 100,000 yuan. By the way, there are also corn cobs that are almost ready for the market, and we can also wholesale corn cobs to some restaurants in the city. Mo Changfeng nodded.
Last year, the family sold boiled corn cobs, and later sold roasted red potatoes and baked potatoes, and they all made a lot of money, and this year these items will still not be less, but will only be more.
However, Mo Changfeng also has some ideas, because the villagers can also sell these, so he plans to go to the city to contact some high-end restaurants to provide them with raw materials.
Because Mo Changfeng's asking price is relatively high, if it is an ordinary small restaurant, it may not be acceptable, but some high-end restaurants can be used to attract customers, so the price is higher.
For example, several restaurants that went to Mo's house to buy rice before, Mo Changfeng added WeChat with their bosses, and he sent WeChat to ask, and several bosses were very interested.
Last year, the Mo family sold boiled corn cobs for five yuan each, but this year, Mo Changfeng plans to wholesale directly to several restaurants in the city at a price of five yuan each, which has reduced a lot of work, not to mention that his income will not decrease at all.
Moreover, although some boiled corn cobs were sold last year, only a small part was sold due to time reasons, and most of the corn was harvested when it was ripe.
This year, it will be provided wholesale to several restaurants at the same time, and Mo Changfeng expects that except for the corn that leaves three acres of land as seeds, all the other corn cobs can be sold, and the income of this piece is several times that of last year.
"That's fine, after selling roasted red potatoes and baked potatoes for half a year, I'm really tired. Selling wholesale to others saves us a lot of things. Wang Juhua nodded in agreement.
If it was before, she would definitely not be willing to sell it wholesale to others to make more money, but now that the life of the family is getting better day by day, and her daughter-in-law is still pregnant with Liujia and needs someone to take care of her, her mind has also changed.
Within a few days, the peaches were ripe, more than 50 peach trees, each peach tree had about 100 catties of peaches, and the size was larger than the average peach, pink and pink, as beautiful as a peach, exuding a rich fragrance.
"The peaches at home are ripe, you can pick them at home, thirty yuan a catty, and you can buy them as soon as possible." Because the number of peaches was not large, Mo Changfeng did not contact Li Ting, but directly sent a message in the customer's WeChat group.
At the same time, I also took some photos and videos and posted them in the group, which attracted the attention of many regular customers, although the price is indeed a little expensive, but there are still many people who reply to reservations.
Especially those customers who ate the Mo family's peaches last year have long been looking forward to this year's peaches, some customers have asked in the group earlier, and some people have proposed to let them be notified of the ripeness of each fruit of the Mo family.
