Picking tangerines is a group activity, and afterward they have to go to the county town to sell the goods, so Si Hong gave the children a day off.
The little ones clamored to help pick oranges, and the village chief Tian Bo let them make a fuss.
As a result, the so-called help was a dozen little greedy cats sitting in a row on the edge of the field, eating mouthful after mouthful without stopping until they burped.
"After you've eaten, go home and study. Don't run around, okay? The teacher will check your homework tomorrow."
"clear."
After giving some instructions, Si Hong started to chase people away.
Gu An counted that there were 22 tangerine trees in total. It was very convenient to pick them with special fruit shears. Ten people could pick them all in about an hour at most.
Ling Dong drove a tractor to the field. He was also responsible for pouring the picked tangerines into the truck bed. After all the good fruits were picked, the truck was full.
The tractor couldn't carry many people, so we filled it with diesel, took the oil drum and a few fruit baskets, and set off.
The program crew rented a bus in the county town. After everyone had their meal, they got on the bus and slowly hung in the back.
[Let's talk about this fruit picking team lineup. Which fruit farmer can afford it? ]
[Are you sure we've sold out this whole tractor of tangerines and it's enough for food, gas, and car fare today? (Laughing and crying)]
This year, sugar oranges are 3 to 4 yuan per jin (approximately 100 kg). A truckload of several hundred jin (approximately 100 kg) is enough.
My family never buys fruit that costs less than 10 yuan.
Guigui County is located in the outer area of the mountainous area and is a small county in Guangxi Province.
The permanent population is only about 120,000 to 130,000 people, with a diverse mix of ethnic groups and a complex dialect landscape.
It got its name from a large natural stone turtle in the county. Over time, it has become a famous check-in spot in nearby counties.
Local people in the county town and the countryside go to the market on every 3rd, 6th and 9th day of the lunar month, and today, the 26th, happens to be market day.
The bus arrived at the county town, and Zhang Fei gave the program team several designated locations for the stalls, which were decided by drawing lots by five groups of guests.
They are the vegetable market, pedestrian street, riverside park, bus station and the entrance of the foot massage shop.
A tractor of tangerines was distributed, with each group receiving two baskets.
"Little brother, go draw lots."
"Beautiful sister, where do you think is the best?"
"It doesn't matter." Si Hong lowered his eyes. Business requires the right time, place and people. You can make money if you have any one of them.
Gu An understood. If his sister wasn't picky, he wouldn't have any psychological burden.
Just take any one.
The Lin siblings were drawn to the only pedestrian street for shoes and clothing in the county.
Liang Kun and Liu Ruyan are at the bus station. There is no highway in the county town, so this is the only way for Guigui County to contact the outside world.
Ling Dong and Ji Meir were in Riverside Park, while Wu Fan and Fu Lisi had the best luck and were in the vegetable market, which had the largest flow of people.
The location Gu An got for his stall was in front of a foot massage parlor. He was speechless. Who would go for a foot massage in broad daylight?
"All the guests have already taken their seats. Now the tractors will deliver the tangerines to everyone's locations. The next three hours are up to you."
"The production team will provide you with stall supplies, including a stall cloth, a small stool, a loudspeaker, an electronic scale, shopping bags, a sign, and a pen. Everyone is welcome to use them. Also, the price of tangerines cannot be less than 3 yuan per catty."
"The group that sells out first will receive a mysterious gift, and the group that fails to sell out within the specified time will be punished accordingly."
The order in which the tractor delivers the tangerines is to start from the bus station and then to the foot massage shop.
Gu An also took the opportunity to roughly observe the flow of people and sales of fruit vendors in various parts of the county.
He asked the village chief Tian Bo, and learned that sugar oranges are also a large-scale planting industry in Guigui County. Logically, they should be seen everywhere on the streets, but in reality, there are basically no sugar oranges for sale on the market.
I really can't figure out how to ride my sister.
Sugar oranges are sweet and not greasy to eat, so why don’t locals like them?
On the road in front of the foot massage shop, Gu An set up the stall cloth, poured all the tangerines on the ground and placed two baskets aside.
"Beautiful sister, how do we sell it?"
He had no experience and wanted to hear Si Hong's advice.
Si Hong took the paper and pen, wrote quickly, and handed it to him.
[One jin is 3 yuan, 3 jins is 10 yuan. 5 jins is 20 yuan, 10 jins is 50 yuan! Why is the larger the quantity, the more expensive it is? Am I seeing things?]
[I've learned the principal's counter-bargaining trick! I've also failed miserably! (dog head)]
【I can sell this and eat the basket. 】
I ate the scale.
【I'm responsible for eating the green belt next to me! 】
[Brothers from the Yue Kingdom ahead, calm down! ]
Gu An picked up the speaker and put it down again, blinking. Si Hong sat on a small stool, looking down at her game, pretending not to see anything.
No one can imagine her selling this thing on the street.
"Pretty sister, please watch the stall for a while, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Um."
Picking up the loudspeaker, Gu An walked to a secluded corner of the street, stretched his neck to look around, and then turned on the recording mode while there was no one around.
I often go to the market with my mom to buy vegetables, and I've heard a lot of vendors' calls. I can just copy the familiar ones.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Dear handsome men and beautiful women, don't miss it if you pass by. These freshly picked tangerines are super sweet. I guarantee you'll want more after you finish them.
Buy and eat as you go for 3 yuan per pound, 3 pounds for 10 yuan and the whole family is satisfied. 5 pounds for 20 yuan, it's a great gift for friends that brings them closer together.
50 yuan for 10 kilograms. Throw it at a small party or something, and you'll be in a great mood. Come buy some!
After recording and listening to it once, Gu An was quite satisfied.
[Goodness me, you can't use this slogan without more than three years of street stall experience.]
【I have definitely collected it! 】
[I am also selling fruits. I am changing the recording now. Please wait for my good news! ]
【Those of you who set up stalls and rely on the weather for your livelihood, don’t take it too seriously. 】
...
Brother Biao spent the night in a foot massage parlor last night. He came out of the shop after receiving a call from Wang Gang saying that he was going to drive over to pick him up for dinner.
“How much are the sugar oranges?”
Si Hong raised her head, glanced at him lightly, and pointed at the sign.
"Oh, what a beauty!" Brother Biao's eyes widened, he wiped his greasy bangs with his right hand and coughed, his face looking like a pig.
There is such a pretty girl in Guigui County. Why hasn’t he met such a pretty girl before?
"It's college vacation now, right? Look, what's the point of studying? You end up working for a boss anyway. Sister, do you want to hang out with me?"
Brother Biao shook his arm with a big gold ring and a big gold watch on it, took out the wallet from under his armpit and opened it a little, revealing a pile of red hundred-yuan bills inside.
He thought he was handsome and rich, and it would be easy for him to win over these female college students from the county town by giving them some sweet treats.
Anyway, this isn't the first time this has happened.
"If you don't want to buy it, get out!" Si Hong looked around. The cameraman had gone after Gu An and had not returned yet.
She was not in a good mood when this kind of guy approached her, so she spoke in a cold voice and continued to play with her phone.
"She's still a hottie. Brother Biao likes this kind of energetic girl. In Guigui County, just ask around—"
"Brother, we are here." Wang Gang and Wang Taotao trotted over.
"Can't you see that I, Brother Biao, am busy bonding with my sister? Stop making noise." Brother Biao said impatiently, pulling away Wang Taotao who was blocking his view.
"I wonder which blind little sister would dare not give Brother Biao face?"
Si Hong felt the voices were familiar, frowned, looked up and stared coldly at the two of them.
“It’s you—!”
Wang Gang's body trembled.
"Oh shit, Brother Biao, run!"
