Chapter 28 Helping the Village Open a Business
Everyone was chatting while planting seeds, eating strawberries from time to time, and they were having a great time working.
When it was time to change plots of land, Ye Mingshan ate the strawberries in his mouth and turned back to call his father Ye who was watering the plants.
"Haizi, I see there are a lot of strawberries growing in your backyard, can you sell some?"
"Yes, the strawberries my daughter bought from the supermarket last time were not as sweet as yours, nor as big as yours. They tasted neither sour nor sweet, and I don't know how much pesticide was sprayed on them."
"Yes, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Can I sell some of these strawberries? My family kept craving for them last time."
Originally, I planted a few trees and produced some strawberries for myself to eat or give to relatives. However, as I watched the stems grow more and more in the field, the growth time of the leaf seedlings was shortened by half, and the fruits matured quickly. I really couldn't digest them, so selling them was indeed a good idea.
But I could sell it, but the price of strawberries is high. I would feel bad if I sold it cheaply, but if I sold it too expensively, I would be embarrassed to offer a price to our fellow villagers.
Father Ye didn't dare to agree easily: "My family only has a piece of land in the backyard. Even if we divide it, it may not be enough. I can't sell it for much, so I'd better not sell it."
Some people were not happy to hear this. "There are still many seedlings in the backyard. There will definitely be more in the future. How can you eat them when the time comes?"
Father Ye was not angry either. He smiled and said, "These strawberries are not all ripe at once. Besides, after the relatives share them, there won't be much left!"
Think about it, it is true. Who wouldn’t want to share good things with their family members first?
This is the truth, but some people still don't give up, "Then it's okay to sell some seedlings."
"I'll go back and ask my Ye Zi. She brought these seedlings back. She said they were newly researched seeds by an acquaintance and they're not available on the market!"
Father Ye didn't dare to agree to it casually. Good seedlings and seeds are hard to come by. If Ye didn't have enough seeds, it would be difficult for him to survive even if he agreed.
If there is too much or too little, it won’t be good for anyone.
"Ye Minghai, please help ask." The person who spoke nodded and gave further instructions with eager eyes.
The person who was speaking was Ye Dajun from the village. His family had planted a field of fruit trees, which were common oranges, grapefruits and the like.
Originally, the environment in the village was good and the fruits grown there were good, but there were many varieties of fruits here and the common fruits did not have much of an advantage.
In addition, the fruits are not top-quality and the quantity is not large. Many fruit merchants have to lower the price and can only sell wholesale, otherwise the ripe fruits will rot in the fields.
Every autumn when the fruits are ripe, Ye Dajun not only sells them to fruit merchants, but also asks his two sons to drive around to sell them. Not only is it hard work, but he also doesn't make much money.
At that time, his two sons were in high school, his wife was in poor health and could not work, and the family was burdened with heavy responsibilities. He had no other strengths, so he could only work as a worker or farmer to earn a hard-earned living.
I heard that planting fruit trees could generate income, so I made up my mind and used the little savings at home to buy fruit seedlings. I borrowed money and planted trees in the mountains. I ended up in debt.
After planting, I worked hard to water and fertilize every day. In addition, the grass on the mountain grew longer and longer. In addition, the fruit trees were prone to insects...
The fruit trees finally start to bear fruit, but the price is not very good. A lot of money is spent on the fruit trees every year. There is fertilizer to buy, insects to kill, and fruit tree harvesting costs money, not to mention the worry.
The family really wanted to live in the orchard. It was only in recent years that they had some income and had just paid back some money.
The fruit trees ripen once a year, and after a lot of effort, I can barely make a little income.
Recently, Ye's father sent some strawberries to his family. These strawberries are large and tasty. With his experience in growing fruit trees and selling fruit, there are definitely great business opportunities in the market.
He could even predict that anyone who saw this fruit would be unable to resist buying it!
As soon as Ye Dajun asked this question, Ye's father roughly understood the other party's plan.
To be honest, Dad Ye also wanted to help everyone, but he didn't know whether there were seeds, how many there were, and who to sell them to.
Secondly, everyone wants to plant it, whether it is for their own consumption at home or to prepare more to sell. Obviously, a lot of seeds are needed, but there are only so many seedlings in the backyard. It will be a problem if anyone gets them, and it will be bad for no one if there are fewer seeds.
Alas, it's rare for Ye's father to be sad!
He didn't say anything definite, and Father Ye didn't hide it: "There are not many seedlings now, and the seeds can't be bought. Let's wait until the strawberries in the backyard are ripe and see if we can save the seeds."
Everyone thought about it and could only remind him again and again:
"Then Miao Ziduo must remember it when the time comes!"
………………
Mini program orders are becoming increasingly popular, but the problem is that the products cannot keep up with everyone’s demand!
She didn't know why there were more and more customers from Jincheng, and it was not enough to collect mushrooms in the village!
Now there are no mushrooms, and there are only a few fruit trees. Even the most fruit-producing trees cannot be exploited like this, right?
We have to give the tree some time to recuperate!
At the beginning, Ye Zhen was only thinking about making some quick money in Jincheng. She put all the spiritual energy she gained from practicing at night into her body. Even the spiritual energy that nourished her health was retained by her through gritted teeth.
The fruit trees now produced abundant harvests and the results were gratifying.
But now she uses half of her spiritual energy on breeding and the other half on cultivation, so the fruit trees will naturally not grow wildly.
This resulted in Ye Zhen having no goods to send to everyone.
The number of fruits and vegetables on the shelves has been reduced again and again.
The people of Jincheng won’t do it! They leave messages under the mini program every day and bombard the vegetable and fruit group.
Ye Zhen had no choice but to be scared every time he saw the messages in the group. Who would understand? Did she not want to make money?
She strolled along the village path, with farmlands on both sides planted with green early rice.
The one carrying the load in front of them was Aunt Shui Ying, with the weight pressing on her slightly bent back. Ye Zhen hurried to help, carrying two baskets of vegetables in both hands.
"Aunt Shuiying, are you here to pick vegetables? The vegetables you grow are so juicy and look so green and tender."
Zhang Shuiying smiled and rubbed his shoulders. "Haha, really? Do you want to take some? They're fresh from the ground!"
"Then I'll take a handful of wild rice stems. They look white and tender. They'll taste sweet when stir-fried."
Ye Zhen was not polite and asked again: "Why did you pick so many vegetables today?"
Zhang Shuiying's face, slightly red from the sun, was stained with traces of time. Hearing this, she sighed, "Shouldn't we hurry up and pick them and sell them? It's getting hot these days, and the vegetables are getting old fast. How can we eat them all at home? We should prepare to carry them to the town to sell."
Yes! Sell!
Ye Zhen had a flash of inspiration. Isn’t this the real thing?
She smiled, "Aunt, how many of these dishes are left? I've collected them all."
They may not be as good as the fruits he had before, but they are all green vegetables. Pesticides are expensive now, and the vegetables eaten by the villagers have almost no pesticides. Ye Zhen can smell it even if he magnifies his five senses. These are enough to sell.
She stopped right there, took photos of Aunt Shuiying’s dishes and uploaded them, with the title always bearing the words “pure green, pure natural”!
The price including the postage for fresh produce is a bit high, but Ye Zhen doesn’t care. For the sake of her reputation, she uploads all the price tags.
It's entirely voluntary to buy or not, but don't urge her if she doesn't have new products.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, the orders that had just been uploaded were sold out.
Zhang Shuiying was stunned three times.
