Chapter 85: It's definitely going to be a big hit
Chen Hongxia took it and washed a few, and when she came back, she stuffed one into Su Maimang's hand, "Taste it!" I haven't eaten it for a year. ”
The apricots are ripe once a year, and there is no cold storage at home to store them at this time, so you can't eat them if you want to eat them after the season.
Su Maimang took a bite of the apricot, the entrance was sweet and sour, and the juice was also abundant, exactly the same taste as she thought.
While eating, Su Maimang thought of one thing, and hurriedly asked Chen Hongxia, "Mom, how many apricots can grandpa and uncle pick every year?" ”
Chen Hongxia touched her fingers and calculated, "Let's say the least, there are six or seven thousand catties." ”
The second elder of the Chen family is not very old, and he is capable of moving, and he is unwilling to live with his sons, so he has been living in the old house.
Each of the five sons of the Chen family has a large courtyard.
Therefore, the Chen family has a total of six courtyards.
In the six yards, several apricot trees were planted in the front and back yards, and the youngest tree was 20 years old.
The branches of the apricot trees are luxuriant, the growth is gratifying, and each tree can bear about 300 catties of apricots every year.
Then most of them add up, and there are really six or seven thousand catties.
There are so many apricots, you can't eat them all at home
Chenjia Village is not a small village, almost every household has apricot trees, every household has apricots, naturally there is no need to eat other people's houses, basically every household is the same as the Chen family, send apricots to the daughter of the foreign marriage to eat.
If you can't eat it all, you can only pull it to the county seat and sell it cheaply.
No one dislikes making less.
Originally, these apricots were grown and eaten at home, and it was already an extra joy to be able to sell them for some money.
In the past, Su Maimang felt that apricots were sold too cheaply, but when it came to the apricot harvest season, there were too many people who went to the county to sell apricots, and the price naturally dropped, which was also a helpless thing.
But that's no longer the case.
Su Maimang has been a Piao for so many years in the 21st century, although most of the time has been spent doing scientific research, but he has also watched some food blogger videos in his spare time.
There are some food bloggers with strong hands-on skills who like to use all kinds of fruits and vegetables to make dried fruits and preserved fruits.
Su Maimang read a lot, so he naturally wrote down some.
Now looking at the apricots in front of him, Su Maimang thought of dried apricots and apricot jam.
When you make apricots into dried apricots and apricot jam, the price can be multiplied many times, and you can store them for a longer period of time, and you can eat them in a richer way.
The more Su Maimang thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Mom, I thought of a good way to make money with apricots, and I'll tell them when grandma, grandpa and uncle come tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Chen Hongxia also laughed happily.
Although she married into the Su family, she also hopes to help her mother's family when she has the ability.
Originally, Chen Hongxia thought that if fruit corn could really be planted, then she would take the Chen family to plant fruit corn next year.
I didn't expect this to wait for next year, Su Maimang said such a thing.
After being happy, Chen Hongxia was also a little curious, "Maizi, how can this apricot make money?" ”
"Mom, this apricot can't be sold at a price, because it's the season of bumper harvest, everyone is selling, and they all want to sell it quickly and lower the price of each other.
So if we have a way to store apricots for a longer period of time, and we will sell them when others sell them, won't the price be high?
I saw in a book that you can make apricots into dried apricots or apricot jam, which tastes better than eating them directly.
As long as we do a good job, we will definitely sell well! ”
