Adilijiang's home has a strong Xinjiang character.

Cao Shujie looked around in the living room, and he didn't go to other rooms to wander around.

In addition to Adilijiang, there are also his wife and son at home.

Adilijiang introduced his son's name to Cao Shujie, Rezali, and his wife's name was Gulzar.

The name is a bit tongue-twisting, and Cao Shujie is a little difficult to remember.

In addition to this, Cao Shujie also found a very embarrassing thing.

He could understand the Mandarin spoken by Adilijan, but not his son, Rezali, and his wife, Gulzar.

Fortunately, this problem is not big, mainly Cao Shujie chatted with Cao Zhen and Adilijiang.

His wife first came over to meet him, but she didn't come back.

Cao Shujie didn't know if there was any evasion here, so he didn't ask much.

Adilijan's son, Rezali, was serving tea and pouring water next to him, perhaps because of his personality, and he didn't talk much.

Not long after, Adilijiang's wife, Gulzar, brought over a pot of boiled mutton.

That's right, it's in a basin.

As soon as it was placed on the table, Cao Shujie smelled the fragrance of mutton, but the smell was not big.

Not long after, the roasted leg of lamb was served on a wooden tray, and she went out again.

"Please!" Adilijiang picked up a knife next to him, cut the boiled mutton in the basin, and handed it to Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen first, and then he and his son.

In Adilijiang's words, this pot of mutton is boiled in pure water, and only a handful of salt is sprinkled.

Cao Shujie was still thinking about why he didn't put some big ingredients to remove the smell, but when he pinched a bone, bit off the meat on it, and chewed it slowly in his mouth, at this time Cao Shujie tasted the more delicious way of mutton.

True to that saying, the most delicious food is often cooked in the simplest way.

"Delicious!" Cao Shujie said with a thumbs stretched.

You're welcome!

As the owner, Adilijiang was very happy when he saw Cao Shujie like this, and cut two pieces of mutton with bones for Cao Shujie, and then cut off a piece of meat from the roast leg of lamb and put it on the plate in front of Cao Shujie: "You eat more." ”

"Thank you, you really don't have to be so polite, I'll just come by myself." Cao Shujie said.

"Okay, we must be well fed at home." Adilijiang said.

He cut another piece of it for himself and ate it in large gulps.

After dinner, Adilijiang asked his son to bring a few apples, all of which were washed, and handed them to Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen respectively: "This is the apple from my orchard, you can taste it." ”

"The meat show is coming." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

He took the apple from Adilijiang's hand with both hands and held it in his hand to look at it carefully.

The skin of the apple is red, and the skin looks smooth and bright, which is very conspicuous.

This apple is not small, and it is not much different from their local apples, but not much different from the apples grown in his orchard.

"Click!"

Cao Shujie took a bite of it, and the apple was very crisp and sweet.

The juice of the apple itself burst out in his mouth as he chewed, making it appear sweeter.

After eating two bites in a row, an apple ate a quarter, and Cao Shujie's eyes fell on the cut of the apple he had bitten off.

The flesh is pale yellow, with a darker layer in the middle of the flesh, similar to the apples grown in his orchard.

But there is still a big gap compared to the apples grown in his orchard.

The flesh of the apples grown in his orchard is bright yellow, and the middle layer is more crystalline, that is, there is more sugar.

"Adilijiang, your apples are really good, they taste very good." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Cao Zhen also nodded, and he said, "It's really delicious." ”

Receiving the praise and recognition of the two, Adilijiang was very happy, he said: "I still have a lot of such apples in the cold storage." ”

"Good fellow, that's so direct." Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen glanced at each other.

At this time, Cao Zhen didn't speak again, and the next scene was handed over to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie took the initiative to ask: "Adilijiang, how much do you plan to ship this apple?" ”

"How much do you want?" Adilijan asked him.

Cao Shujie did not say a specific number, saying: "The more the merrier." ”

This makes Adilijiang a little unsure how much Cao Shujie needs, he said: "I have a total of 429 acres of orchards, all planted with this variety of apples, the yield per mu is about 6,000 catties, and this year's total harvest is less than 1,300 tons." ”

"At present, I still have more than 800 tons of apples in my cold storage." Adilijiang said.

Cao Zhen was a little confused when he heard it, he thought to himself that the fruit harvest in his hometown still uses catties as the unit of measurement, but the unit of measurement of others is directly calculated in tons.

This gap is really not ordinarily large.

Cao Shujie also had this idea in his heart.

He was still thinking that the production capacity of apples per mu in his orchard was more than 5,000 catties, which was considered a high yield on their side.

But the yield of apples per mu in Adilijiang can reach about 6,000 catties, don't look at the difference of only 1,000 catties, but this gap is sometimes difficult to cross.

This also made Cao Shujie realize that he still has a lot of room for improvement.

Don't mention this matter, Cao Shujie also wonders about one thing, it stands to reason that it is already the beginning of December, and the apples here in Xinjiang have been picked in September, and now it has been three months, according to his total harvest, half of it has not been sold, what is the reason?

Cao Shujie thought about it, but never thought through this relationship.

Cao Zhen is also thinking about this question.

Perhaps sensitive to numbers, Cao Zhen also paid attention to several key data mentioned by Adilijiang.

He also took out his mobile phone and calculated it with the calculator that came with the mobile phone, and the output was indeed more than 1,280 tons as Adilijiang said.

But if it was like what Adilijiang just said, he would have just sold a third.

"Apples aren't selling well this year?" Cao Zhen had this idea in his heart.

He is not professionally engaged in the fruit business, and he usually buys few fruits, and his sensitivity to this piece is not high.

Cao Shujie's apples were snatched up by fans in two days, and he didn't feel that the apples couldn't be sold at all.

Thinking of this, Cao Shujie said: "Adilijiang, how much are you going to sell your apples?" ”

"How about 4.75 yuan per kilogram?" Adilijan asked.

This price is the same as what he told Cao Zhen on the phone, 4,750 yuan a ton.

But Cao Shujie knew that Apple's price had fallen a little in the past two days, and he said: "It will drop another 8 cents." ”

"It's too much." Adilijan disagreed.

Cao Shujie is not in a hurry to get this batch of apples tonight.

He knew in his heart that there were more than 800 tons of apples left in three months, and there would definitely be no major changes in one night.

When Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen left, the two sides did not negotiate the price.

Coming out of Adilijiang's house, Cao Zhen drove and took Cao Shujie to his home here.

At Adilijiang's house, his wife Gulzar was cleaning up the table in the living room, and when she saw him coming back, Gulzar asked him how the apple was going.

Adilijiang shook his head: "I haven't negotiated yet, the price given by this friend is a bit low, I want him to raise the price a little more." ”

"Adilijiang, the price of apples this year fluctuates too much, and it is not easy to sell." Gulzar said: "We have been renting cold storage for so long, and the cost is not low. ”

"I know, but if I sell it at such a cheap price, the loss is too big." Adilijiang said.

Gulzar heard her husband say this, and didn't say anything more.

Their son, Re Roll, also helped his mother pack her things, and he didn't know much about the issues his parents were discussing, and he was not interested in learning about it.

……

Let's say that Cao Zhen and Cao Shujie returned to Cao Zhen's house in Changji, and after Cao Zhen cleaned up the guest room, he said to him: "Shujie, you will sleep in this room tonight." ”

"It's okay, I just sleep on the couch." Cao Shujie had never deliberately touched the apple market, so he asked Cao Zhen: "Cao Zhen, can you help me inquire about the price of Apple in the last three months?" ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Zhen asked him.

Cao Shujie said: "You also heard Adilijiang say that he has collected less than 1,300 tons of apples, but he still has more than 800 tons in his cold storage, which shouldn't be." ”

"Either he hoards goods and can live, or Apple is on the market in large quantities during this time, the price is unstable, and it is not easy to sell." Cao Shujie analyzes the reasons.

"I'll find out about the latest market prices and I'll talk to him tomorrow," he said. ”

That night, Cao Zhen didn't sleep, he made more than a dozen phone calls to get relevant information.

Cao Shujie also talked to Zuo Le and Nie Bin on the phone, and learned that the recent Apple market price belongs to a typical type of high opening and low walking.

Especially near the end of the year, the price of apples is more than 5 cents per kilogram lower than last month.

Zuo Le also asked Cao Shujie what he was doing at this price.

In his opinion, Cao Shujie planted his orchard well, and he didn't need to pay attention to the price trend in the apple market at all.

The fruits grown by Cao Shujie are delicious, and no matter how high the price is, there are people rushing to buy them in the market.

It's easy to see why.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie saw that it was dark outside, and it was indeed time to sleep.

"Cao Zhen, rest early, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something."

"Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Cao Zhen also went to rest.

……

Caojiazhuang, Cheng Xiaolin still remembered what her husband said, after her husband left, she first called two local logistics companies in Pingyuan County and asked about their freight prices.

Cheng Xiaolin knows very well that in the fruit industry, the cost of logistics accounts for a large proportion of the cost, and she naturally thinks that the lower the price, the better, so that their costs can be reduced and their profit points increased.

After inquiring, Cheng Xiaolin made an excuse and did not decide on a few cars.

She now has to wait for a call from her husband's side.

After all aspects are in order, the contract of carriage can be signed.

Otherwise, if you sign a few cars early, you won't need so much at all, and then you will be numb.
