Chapter 60: Rushing to buy durians.
After three months of careful care, the durians in the space have grown.
In Nan Jingyi's eyes, the newly born durians seemed like big gold ingots hanging on the tree.
There are about fifty or sixty durians on each durian tree.
This is already the fastest progress. According to the normal growth cycle, durian trees usually take 7 to 8 years to bear fruit.
Based on the growth rate of the space, it should be ready for picking in half a month.
In the space, Assistant Xiaopi is watching over her day and night, so Nan Jingyi is not worried at all.
When she sells the durians on the market, everyone will be shocked.
In the fruit market of Jiang City, it is almost impossible to see durians. Even if they are available, they are of average quality or in small quantities.
Moreover, things are rare and expensive, and the price of durians at ten yuan per pound has also dissuaded many citizens.
She almost spent the past half month counting on her fingers, and finally the day came when she could pick durians.
Xiaopi has been waiting for it early. He is responsible for picking, and Nan Jingyi picks it up in a sack under the tree.
They use the function picking that comes with the space, which is very convenient.
I saw Xiaopi waving his wings, using a knife to quickly cut at the rhizome, and then with a wave of his hand, the durian seemed to be suspended in the air, falling slowly and evenly.
Nan Jingyi wore the space bracelet and gently placed the durian in the prepared bamboo basket.
Thirty durians were picked for the first time today.
Four of them were given to the operating room, surgery, ophthalmology and internal medicine departments respectively, for colleagues in these four departments to try.
She sent a durian to her aunt's house.
Grandma was discharged from the hospital yesterday. It was her aunt and uncle who handled the discharge procedures. Nan Jingyi felt bad and specially sent durians to her aunt and her family to try.
There are two left at home, waiting for Su Jiali and Chen Fang to come over tonight.
She plans to take the other twenty or so to the warehouse to sell them tomorrow to try out the water.
As soon as she returned home in the afternoon, Nan Jingyi received calls from more than a dozen colleagues ordering durian.
"Jingyi, how much does your durian cost per pound?"
"Who is it?" Nan Jingyi heard a familiar voice,
"I am "Teacher Luo? Didn't you hear it?" Teacher Luo is Nan Jingyi's internal medicine teacher,
"Teacher Luo, I'm sorry, I didn't hear your voice. My durians are one yuan or nine yuan cheaper than in the market." One pound, it's guaranteed to taste better than the ones in the market. "
"Yes, everyone in the department said it tasted good after eating it. Leave one for me and I'll pick it up at your warehouse tomorrow afternoon. "
Okay, Teacher Luo, I promise to pick the best durian for you tomorrow!" Nan Jingyi put down the phone and registered.
Nan Jingyi received several more calls from colleagues, all of whom were buying durian.
She told her colleagues the address of her warehouse and made an appointment to come to the warehouse to make selections after get off work tomorrow.
At 6:30 the next morning,
she put the durians and the ingredients on the order from the space into the warehouse, waiting for Zheng Juan to take over.
Not long after, Zheng Juan came over and smelled the unique fragrance of durian when she came in.
"Mom, I left a box of durian for you. I ate it with Jiali and the others last night. You can try it too."
"This durian is better than the ones on the market. Aunt Yang bought the durian the day before yesterday and gave it to me to taste. One piece is not as fresh as this one." Zheng Juan took a bite and put it down.
"You go to work. I'll take it back at noon and give it to the old man to try." Zheng Juan was reluctant to eat it. Started busy sorting out ingredients and looking at orders.
"Okay, I'm going to work. Mom, if anyone comes to ask about the price, this durian costs ten yuan per catty. If it's a colleague from my work unit, it's cheaper and sells for nine yuan per catty."
Nan Jingyi told her mother, Went to work.
In the afternoon, she rushed to the warehouse as soon as she got off work and dragged the durians in the basket to the gate for sale.
The whole street was filled with the fragrance of durian, and many people passing by came over after smelling the smell.
Several thrifty uncles and aunts heard that it cost ten yuan a pound and were reluctant to buy it because it was too expensive. They stood on the sidelines and looked at it with envy.
Those cheerful uncles and aunts asked Nan Jingyi to help him choose.
While she was choosing, she told the aunts next to her how to choose.
"Auntie, my durian is a premium golden pillow durian. Look at this durian. It has a plump shape. When choosing, look at the number of bulges, spikes and spacing, whether it can shake...and so on."
"Look at this . It's very good. You can't go wrong buying it. It's 5 and a half kilograms and 55 yuan." Nan Jingyi agreed and handed it to her aunt.
The aunt paid the money with satisfaction and went back happily.
After a while, more than ten colleagues from the hospital came. Nan Jingyi invited them to come in and choose for themselves, and also helped them choose.
To be honest, as long as the ingredients were grown in the space, they were all very good.
"Teacher Luo is here, let me help you pick the best and biggest durian!"
"Hey! Xiaonan, you don't need a big one. My family has a small population, so a four or five kilogram durian is enough. Thank you!" Teacher Luo's husband She works out of town all year round, leaving only her mother and daughter at home. If it weren't for her daughter's love for eating, she wouldn't be willing to buy this expensive fruit.
"Okay, here's durian! It's better for women to eat, and it can relieve menstrual cramps!"
Nan Jingyi had done her homework in advance.
She continued to promote the benefits of eating durian, "Eating durian can replenish nutrients for the body, which is good for promoting blood circulation, dispersing cold, moisturizing the intestines, and strengthening the body!"
"Really? I only know that it is delicious, and What are the benefits of this?" The colleagues nearby also started to choose for themselves.
"Yes, especially us lesbians eat better. It can relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea."
In the end, more than ten colleagues who came came and everyone bought durian and the response was very good.
Nan Jingyi counted her income from selling durians today. She sold a total of twenty-four durians, making a profit of 1,512 yuan.
She made a rough estimate that five durian trees could earn nearly 20,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, the number of durian fruits for the first time is limited, and there are about 270 durians in the space.
Let’s talk about Zheng Juan,
After returning home at noon, she put a box of durians given by her daughter on the table and prepared to wait for her husband to come back to eat together, then turned and went into the kitchen to cook.
Nan Tian came in with his girlfriend. The two of them glanced at Zheng Juan who was busy in the kitchen and nodded as a greeting.
Zheng Juan has long been accustomed to it. When her second son and his girlfriend came back, she quickly added vegetables, washed and chopped vegetables.
After a while, Nanjiang Cheng also came back from get off work. The three of them were watching TV in the living room, and no one went into the kitchen to help Zheng Juan.
"Hey, there is durian. It tastes good. This is the king of fruits. Come on, wife, try it."
Nan Tian noticed the durian on the table and sat down at the table with his girlfriend to eat.
He just didn't leave a bite for Zheng Juan.
"It's time to eat! Nantian, you two come over to eat quickly... Lao Nan, come over to eat!"
When Zheng Juan put the food on the table, set the bowls and chopsticks, and filled the food for four people, she discovered the empty durian box.
Zheng Juan felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
If Jingyi knew about it, with her temper, she would definitely make a noise. Zheng Juan sighed,
is she really going to live like this?
