Chapter 396 Big Explosion
The next day, when Fu Tinghua was at work, he called Qi Yunyang. He wanted to ask Qi Yunyang to have dinner together in the evening, but Qi Yunyang said that he didn't have time recently because his sister and brother-in-law were getting a divorce.
Upon hearing this, Fu Tinghua hung up the phone without asking any further questions.
Qi Yunyang may know about his brother-in-law's affairs, or he may not. Fu Tinghua feels that at this critical juncture, he should not meddle in other people's affairs.
In case the Qi family thought this was a scandal, Fu Tinghua felt that it would be better for him to pretend that he didn't know.
Su He has been very busy recently because her career is about to usher in a second spring.
The sugar oranges will be ripe in the next few days and can be picked and sold.
She and Fu Tinghua went to the hillside to see that the sugar oranges were growing very well and the yield was really high. One tree produced hundreds of fruits, which was really no exaggeration.
The Fu family finally understood why Su He asked the villagers to go up the mountain to help pick the fruits, because there were really a lot of them. Just on this hillside, the whole mountain was covered with orange-colored fruits with a hint of green.
The Fu family tried it, and although it was not fully ripe, it was already very sweet and delicious.
I can’t even imagine how sweet the sugar oranges will be when they are fully ripe.
Su He has already negotiated with several agents, and they are all paid at wholesale price, 30 cents per pound.
She also made an agreement with them that if they were all sold in Wencheng, they would all be sold at a uniform price of 50 cents. Unless they had been kept for two or three days or the appearance of the tangerines was not good, they could be sold at a discounted price.
In this way, the market price of sugar oranges will not be disrupted.
Of course, if they want to sell it in other provinces, then it is up to them to decide how much price to sell it for, and Su He will not interfere.
Anyway, the business has been discussed, and all we have to do is wait for the fruits to ripen.
In mid-November, the temperature started to get colder, especially in the countryside, where frost began to fall.
Everyone stayed at home and had nothing to do. Every day they cooked, ate, sat by the fire and chatted, and the day passed like this.
Afterwards, a piece of news pushed by the Fu family caused quite a stir in Shangyao Village.
That means going up the mountain to help pick oranges. You'll be paid two dollars a day, and you only need to pick for six hours a day.
Two hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon.
Considering the weather, Su He felt that it was too cold in the morning and it would be better to spend more time picking in the afternoon.
It only costs two dollars, and it’s just picking fruits, and it only takes six hours, so it’s not a long time.
You have to know that working at a construction site only earns three or four yuan a day, and you have to move bricks at the site, which is really tiring.
Picking fruits is farm work, and the villagers feel that it is not as hard as moving bricks on a construction site. Although the weather is a bit cold, it is doable!
Besides, it’s winter now. Where can you find work in winter? There is no job to do even if I want to earn some income.
Now that the Fu family can provide work for the villagers, everyone is scrambling to go.
So what if it’s a little cold? Not afraid of cold.
I’m afraid of having no time to spare, not making money, and not having enough to eat.
However, the Fu family said that there were too many people who signed up and there were no more spots left for picking fruit on the first day.
Although you need to hire someone to pick the fruits, you don't need that many.
It probably takes about ten people, and the labor cost is about twenty yuan a day.
Just these twenty or so dollars made the Fu family feel heartbroken.
When the other people in the village who arrived late saw that there was no quota for them, they could not help but feel disappointed and asked the Fu family to be fair and give them a quota.
Since they were all from the same village, the Fu family couldn't refuse and agreed.
It takes about half a month to pick this fruit. In the first few days, we observe who is more diligent. The diligent people will be able to work until the end.
So when this was said, those who had thought that the weather was cold and they didn't want to work and just pretended to work no longer dared to be lazy.
Moreover, if the villagers want to buy tangerines, they will be sold to them at wholesale price, 30 cents per pound.
The villagers thought it was too expensive at first, but someone from the Fu family took the tangerines to the town to sell at market time, and they got 40 cents per pound, which was a full 10 cents more than the villagers paid.
The villagers who were reluctant to spend money to buy tangerines at home, after trying the tangerines, bought two kilograms on the spot to take home.
This fruit is really sweet, sweeter than any other variety of orange.
Especially the children at home, they love to eat it.
In this age when sugar is so expensive, a tangerine is sweeter than sugar. I'm sure everyone would be willing to buy some to take home.
And the point is, this tangerine is really delicious.
Finally, the Fu family discovered that all the villagers who helped them pick tangerines on the mountain came to them with money to buy tangerines.
So the money went back and forth and finally returned to them.
As for Su He, her tangerines were sold out immediately after they were launched in the supermarket.
To be honest, fruits these days are not cheap, and many of them are sour and taste bad.
The delicious fruits of later generations have all been improved through many generations, and now in this era when even rice production is not that high, the fruits promoted by Su He can really be said to be of good quality and low price.
The agents who had agreed to cooperate with Su He were also shocked when they saw the sugar oranges being snatched away.
Everyone was hoarding big bags of it. Even though we told them that the fruit couldn't be kept for too long, many people still bought more than ten kilograms.
In their words, there are many people in the family, more than a dozen.
These tangerines are so small that if one person eats a dozen, they will be gone in no time.
You can go without sugar in winter, but you can’t go without sweet tangerines.
The happiest person was Lu Qiming.
He was the first agent Su He approached, because the two had previously worked together in the durian business and the cooperation was quite pleasant.
So when Su He asked him if he still wanted to buy tangerines from her, Lu Qiming agreed immediately.
Su He has already told him clearly that this fruit has a high yield and he is not the exclusive agent.
But Lu Qiming still trusted Su He very much and signed a cooperation contract with Su He on the spot.
This time, Su He did wholesale the sugar oranges in the form of a signed contract. Of course, the penalty for breach of contract would not be too high. After all, it is not a big business, right?
However, considering that this was the first time and everyone didn't trust each other very much, Su He felt that signing a contract was the safest option.
Because of Su He's model, many people were afraid that there might be some conspiracy in the contract, so they did not dare to sign it.
However, these people regretted their decision so much after Suhe’s tangerines became a hit.
