Chapter 417: The Way Out for Green Kumquat
Shi Zheng parked the car.
Without saying a word.
Ye Qing greeted, "Have you had breakfast?"
Shi Zheng shook his head.
He had just come from town, forgot to buy breakfast, and was not in the mood to eat.
Ye Qing walked towards the earthen stove and said, "There's nothing else here, let's cook some rice noodles."
He worked swiftly.
Fifteen minutes later, the rice noodles are ready.
The rice noodles are also delicious when paired with steamed salted fish and cold dishes.
Shi Zheng took a bite, then sighed and asked, "Ye Qing, don't you want to know what I've been busy with these past two days?"
Ye Qing shook his head: "No matter what you are busy with, it will not have a good result. I'd better not ask, lest you feel worse if I talk about it."
"..." After hearing this, Shi Zheng thought to himself that you are a very nice person. He sighed and said, "I asked the supermarket in our town, and they are willing to buy it. The purchase price is 50 cents per pound."
"I went to small supermarkets and even asked at small shops, but the owners wouldn't accept it even at 10 cents a pound, let alone 50 cents a pound."
"I clearly gave them all to eat, and they all said it was delicious!"
Having said that, Shi Zheng scratched his messy hair.
You can see that he is very anxious.
Ye Qing listened and thought it was normal. The only big supermarket in the town was actually not that big. To put it bluntly, it was the size of a community supermarket that sold vegetables and fruits.
They mainly sell vegetables. As for fruits, they only sell fruits that are not available in Longwei Island and can be stored for a period of time.
Why other small supermarkets and convenience stores don’t accept it? Because they don’t have this business.
In Longwei Island, almost every household has fruits, and they can’t even finish eating them at home. If you have a lot of money, you might as well go to the supermarket to sell them.
Shi Zheng was desperate and tried every possible means to cure his illness.
Ye Qing patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
"What's so hard about this? I went to the city yesterday." Shi Zheng said this and sighed a few times: "I went to the largest fruit canning factory in the city."
"But when I heard it was from Longwei Island, they said it was too far away and the factory wouldn't buy fruit from Longwei Island."
"It was a wasted trip."
Ye Qing said: "If they don't come to collect it, we can transport it over."
Shi Zheng said angrily, "I said the same thing at the time, but the manager said their factory doesn't buy green kumquats and kicked me out directly."
"I clearly saw that they have a plan to buy green kumquats, but the purchase price is not high, only two yuan per pound!"
"Even if we ship it and sell it, I don't think we'll even make enough to cover the cost of gas."
When Ye Qing heard this, he felt that the manager's attitude was a bit problematic, but he was too lazy to think about it too much. He had never considered this sales channel in the first place.
If this sales channel was feasible, people would have sold the fruit in the early years, and the fruit from Longwei Island would not have to rot in their own fields until now.
He comforted Shi Zheng and said, "You've worked so hard."
"Next you will take care of the fruit trees in the orchard."
"I'll figure it out."
Shi Zheng glanced at Ye Qing, who looked indifferent, and complained silently in his heart, "Your family is rich and powerful, you can make money by fishing at sea, but you don't care about the orchard, even if the fruits rot in the garden."
But he can't do it!
He had a falling out with his boss, the old monkey, before, and the old monkey was just waiting for problems to arise in his work. If the fruits in the orchard rotted in the ground, the old monkey would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
actually.
Losing his job is a small matter. If these fruits rot in the fields, it would be a waste of resources. He is really heartbroken!
He had some complaints about Ye Qing not caring about the orchard at all.
He is a technician in charge of the entire Longwei Island's agriculture, but he is busy with the orchard all day long, while Ye Qing is like an outsider.
Is this appropriate?
Who is the owner of the orchard?
But when the words came to his lips, he held them back.
Saying these things now would not help the situation at all except to vent his negative emotions. He might as well sulk by himself.
He couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
We still have to think of a solution. If we think of a solution, the fruits in the orchard may rot in the ground. If we don’t think of a solution, the fruits in the orchard will definitely rot in the ground.
The two of them had finished drinking rice noodles and had just finished cleaning up when Kangzi came and picked a green kumquat. The fruit tree had not been sprayed with pesticides, so he wiped it lightly and put it into his mouth to eat without peeling the skin.
It tastes sweet.
Juice explosion.
The sour taste follows, but it is not strong and complements the sweetness just right.
Kangzi ate them all in no time, then picked another one and ate it. As he ate, he said, "It's so delicious. This is the best green kumquat I've ever tasted."
"That's strange."
"This green kumquat isn't a special variety, how come it tastes so good after being transplanted here?"
Ye Qing couldn't explain.
He turned his head and looked at Shi Zheng.
Shi Zheng wiped his hands after washing the dishes, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's due to geological reasons."
In fact, he wasn't sure.
There are many uncertainties involved. He is busy looking for a way out for the green kumquat and has no time to calm down and do research.
Kangzi just said it casually and didn't ask any further questions. He changed the subject and asked, "Qingzi, have you figured out how to sell the green kumquats?"
Ye Qing shook his head.
Kangzi rolled his eyes and said, "How about live streaming to sell goods? Isn't it popular to sell goods through live streaming now?"
"I think we can give it a try."
"You have quite a few followers on your account now, and you get a lot of gifts every time you livestream. There are quite a few wealthy people there, and there are even a few rich women who might buy all these green kumquats just for your sake."
After saying that, he couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Before Ye Qing could shake his head, Shi Zheng shook his head and said, "No way."
"I heard you're livestreaming fishing, which has nothing to do with selling fruit. Netizens might not buy it. Besides, netizens only buy a few kilograms at most. How much would that cost to ship it from Longwei Island to Haibin City, and then pack it up and ship it all over the country?"
"These green kumquats can only be sold for a few dollars, which might not even cover the postage."
“Now everyone wants free shipping.”
"You can't let people buy a green kumquat for just over ten yuan and then spend dozens of yuan on shipping."
Kangzi thought it made sense and said angrily, "I was just saying it casually."
"No, forget it."
Ye Qing actually thought about it. If he wanted to sell green kumquats through live streaming, he would have to raise the price to make up for the high shipping costs, and his fans would have to pay for this.
He was not very happy.
Now is not the time to sell goods through live streaming. It will not be too late until the shipping routes are opened and the freight rates are reduced.
and.
Not only was he worried that netizens wouldn't buy it, he was also afraid that they would buy it too much, in case Kangzi said that a rich woman would buy all the green kumquats just for his face.
You definitely won’t be able to finish it, so it will all be wasted.
Don't think he's just imagining things.
There are so many crazy fans. It is said that on a talent show, some fans bought milk and poured it all out without drinking it in order to support their "brother", and only took the milk bottle cap.
Tell me whether it is immoral or not.
At this time.
Chen Hu and Wang Jie also came, along with Jiang Yan and others.
When Jiang Yan saw the orchard, she showed her signature surprised expression, her cherry lips opened into an O shape, and she shouted, "Wow, so many trees!"
"Anchor, these trees are so tall and big."
"What kind of trees are these?"
Ye Qing said, "These are lychee trees."
“There are also mango trees and kumquat trees inside.”
Everyone suddenly realized: "So it's an orchard, it looks quite large."
The two elder brothers said, "It's a pity that the lychees are not bearing fruit at the wrong time."
"I heard the fruit on Longwei Island is good."
When Kangzi heard this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Although lychees and mangoes are not ripe yet, the green kumquats are ripe."
“It’s delicious.”
"I'll pick a few for you to try."
