Chapter 418: One Eats and One Silent
Kangzi picked some kumquats and washed them specially.
Everyone took one.
Jiang Yan was about to peel the skin, but Kangzi quickly said, "No need to peel it, you can eat it directly."
Jiang Yan took a small bite doubtfully.
Then, her eyes suddenly widened.
Then, just like a hamster eating, it ate all the kumquats very quickly, one bite at a time, and finally spat out the seeds on the paper towel.
Then she exclaimed, "This is so delicious."
"I thought it would be sour, but it was so delicious and especially sweet!"
She knew that kumquats were usually used to make tea.
Even if you drink it in water, you need to add something else to neutralize the sour taste.
Therefore, she took a very small first bite and prepared herself to be hit by the sour taste. However, the result was beyond her expectations. It was so delicious that she wanted to stamp her feet.
The others were eating too, but none of them said a word.
Only after eating can you open your throat.
“It’s delicious!”
"Oh my god, this is so delicious."
"Fuck, this is a green kumquat?"
"It's sweet and juicy, absolutely amazing."
Everyone praised it highly.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but take another one from Kangzai's hand and started eating it in small bites, her eyes narrowed comfortably.
Handsome Brother ate half of it, then looked at the remaining half of the green kumquat and said in surprise, "This is too delicious. Could it be that some kind of technology or hard work has been added to it?"
Yu Yao glared at him and said, "Shut up and eat your food."
"Eating can't stop you from talking!"
What she said was still nice, but she was already cursing in her heart, saying that her boyfriend was good in every way except that he had a big mouth.
The handsome brother shut up angrily and continued to eat the green kumquat silently.
Shi Zheng said: "But there is no technology and hard work."
“There’s not even any pesticide.”
“It’s no exaggeration to say it’s natural and organic.”
Because these fruits cannot be sold, the villagers on the island do not take care of the fruit trees. They basically plant them in the ground and let them grow wildly.
This shows how good the climate and soil fertility of Longwei Island are. Even though the fruit trees grow wildly, they grow well and the fruits are delicious.
Kangzi said proudly, "This is the technician in charge of agriculture on our island."
“Not only are the fruit trees natural and organic, but they are also species unique to Longwei Island.”
"You can't find such delicious green kumquats anywhere else."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"You can tell from the taste that if it were made with more technology and more effort, it wouldn't taste this good."
"Yes, this fruit is not cloyingly sweet, but rather sweet with a hint of sourness. It's delicious, and after you eat it, there's a refreshing aftertaste in your mouth."
“This is what we call a lingering aftertaste.”
The two elder brothers praised each other, and everyone nodded in agreement, responding, "Yes, yes, yes, right, right, right."
Kangzi picked a basket of fruits, but these people ate them all one after another.
After eating the last one, Da Zhuang and Xiao Pang started fighting over it, neither of them giving in. At this time, even being good brothers was useless.
Ye Qing looked at it with amusement: "There are thousands of kumquat trees here. If you want to eat some, just pick them yourself."
Kangzi also laughed and said, "That's all you can do."
"What are you grabbing?"
"Qingzai has said so, you can pick whatever you want."
Da Zhuang and Xiao Pang were embarrassed: "No, no."
"Such delicious green kumquats must be very expensive. How can we eat them so casually?"
"We pay."
The others nodded as well.
Except for Dazhuang and Xiaopang, those who come here to fish are actually not short of money. If they were short of money, they would not spend 5,000 yuan to come to Longwei Island to fish.
The elder brothers all said in unison: "Yes, we bought some to eat."
"When I leave, I'll take ten kilograms with me."
Another older brother said, "You're so stingy. Take ten kilograms back. Is that enough for you to share?"
"I'll pick fifty kilograms and take them away."
"Anchor, can you help me send it?"
Ye Qing shook his head: "No way."
The eldest brother was a little depressed: "If there are too many, it will be difficult for me to carry them."
Ye Qing didn't respond.
Others also said they would pick some to take away when they left.
Who doesn’t have relatives? Not to mention parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and close neighbors. Such delicious kumquats must be shared with all of them.
With this calculation, ten or twenty kilograms is not enough.
Even the big brother who said he wanted to pick 50 kilograms finally said he wanted to pick 100 kilograms to take away. Although it was troublesome to transport it, it was not impossible.
Shi Zheng was also very happy to see their enthusiasm.
But then I thought, with so few people, even if each person took away 100 kilograms, they could only sell about 1,000 kilograms. Compared with the green kumquats in the orchard, it was a drop in the bucket.
I can only say that it's better than nothing.
One of the older guys asked, "Host, how much are your green kumquats?"
Ye Qing said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Shi Zheng's mouth twitched. He hadn't figured out anything yet and had no idea how to sell it.
Kangzi coughed twice and whispered to his elder brother, "Brother Zheng, you must be very knowledgeable. What price can such delicious green kumquats be sold for outside?"
Brother Zheng thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. It depends on the promotion and packaging. For example, the premium fruits I bought as gifts, even if they contain apples, can be sold for over a hundred yuan each."
Kangzai was shocked.
Although he had rarely eaten apples, he knew that apples were the most common fruit in the mainland. How could one be sold for more than a hundred yuan?
Steal money!
Brother Zheng didn't know Kangzi's reaction and continued, "If it's apples sold by vendors, the most expensive one is only a few yuan."
"This is the first time I've eaten such delicious green kumquats."
"If you ask me to buy it, I will buy it even if it's one hundred pounds."
One hundred and one jin! ???
Kangzi's eyes were trembling with shock.
The green kumquats that no one wants even at one yuan per pound on Longwei Island can be sold for one hundred yuan per pound outside?
Kangzi asked, "You're not saying anything nice, are you?"
Brother Zheng smiled and said, "From a consumer's perspective, I would be willing to buy it and try it. I have enough money anyway."
"From a business perspective, a price of one hundred yuan per kilogram for such delicious green kumquats is very reasonable, and there is definitely a market for them."
"As I said, if you want to sell at a high price, you need publicity and packaging."
"How about I ask my friend who does fruit wholesale. He's very good at this."
Kangzi looked at Ye Qing, who had also been listening. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Zheng, is this a problem?"
Brother Zheng laughed: "Of course it's not a problem."
"It's just a phone call."
He was very happy to help. He made so much money with Ye Qing yesterday and owed him a favor. If he could help, he could also repay the favor. Why not do it?
He immediately called and chatted for a few words. His face turned sour. After hanging up, he said angrily, "My friend said Longwei Island is too far away and they can't send anyone over to purchase."
"He didn't understand the situation, and I couldn't explain it clearly over the phone."
"I'll talk to him later."
actually.
What his friend said on the phone was more direct and unpleasant. His friend believed what he said, but no matter how delicious the green kumquats were, they would be useless if they could not be transported out. Besides, green kumquats were a relatively niche product, and the profit would not be substantial enough if they were purchased from Longwei Island and then promoted, packaged and sold outside. In his friend's opinion, this deal was not cost-effective.
His friends even mocked him for being so kindhearted, going to such a remote island to support the poor farmers.
Brother Zheng was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Support poor farmers?
He made 250,000 yuan yesterday thanks to the anchor boy!
Can you make 250,000 yuan a day by wholesale fruits?
