"Well, there's nothing we can do about it," Liu Ming said, placing a plastic basket on the table. "My uncle brought this. I visited the orchard yesterday and even snuck in to pick some fruit. You all should try some. If the quantity was small, I would have taken the initiative to collect it. But the problem is that they have a lot, probably a truckload."
Xiao Yu saw the tangerines, which looked good, so he reached out and took one, peeled it and tasted it. It was very sweet and delicious.
"That's great, why is no one buying it?"
"Hehe, every household here has a few orange trees, and there are orange stalls next to each other on the street. Who wants to buy from them?" Liu Mingdao said.
"How much is one pound if I buy all of them?"
"Two cents."
“More expensive than ordinary oranges.”
"Yes. How much is a pound of grain? When apples came out, a pound of rice could be exchanged for three pounds, which is only a little over ten cents."
Uncle Liu looked at his son, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Liu Shan curled his lips: "I won't give you any benefits, why are you so anxious? You are just a messenger at best."
Uncle Liu's neck was stiff, but he didn't say anything else.
Xiao Yu saw the tangerines, thought for a moment and said, "If they are all of this quality, it's not impossible to buy them. But they have to pick them themselves and send them to us."
"That's for sure." Uncle Liu said confidently.
Liu Ming: "I think I'll have to tell them personally about this. You can just listen to my father's words. He can't make the final decision."
Uncle Liu: ...

Liu Ming was primarily responsible for harvesting the fruit, and he ultimately completed the task. However, there were three Zhuge Liangs behind the scenes, so the task was ultimately completed quite well.
Uncle Liu Ming got some good cigarettes and bottles of good wine from his nephew.
Perhaps having tasted success, Uncle Liu Ming introduced a hawthorn business to his nephew shortly after New Year's Day.
This time, Liu Ming directly gave his uncle 300 yuan. Nothing makes a poor family happier than giving money directly!
With this batch of fruit, Xiao Yu and a group of young men immediately took action, preparing to make a big move before the New Year. To this end, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Lin, and Liu Ming went out to find a group of friends.
Xiao Yu called over his younger sister-in-law and younger aunt. They brought the men in their family with them. There were many idle women in the village who wanted to help, but unfortunately, the Xiao family's sisters-in-law didn't get involved, so they couldn't either. Only those lucky enough to be chosen by Xiao Zheng and his friends to work were supervised by their parents, who ensured they washed their clothes cleanly every day and came to work.
The village was bustling for a week, and near the end of the year, there was a stall selling hawthorn cakes and orange marshmallows in the market and town.
Although the gummy candies sold at the stall are not packaged, they are more affordable and delicious than those sold in stores.
Many people who go out to eat will buy some after trying it. Celebrate the New Year early and let the children and adults at home enjoy a little luxury.
In addition to these, various fruit candied haws are also sold next to the gummy candies. They are not strung together, but they are large and fleshy, visible to the naked eye. Fifty cents can buy more than ordinary candied haws.
It is said that the bus station in the town can sell thousands of kilograms every day.
Xiao Yu's pig was slaughtered on the day all the fruits were cleared out. Xiao Xiaogu, Xiao Xiaoyi, and several of the Xiao family's sisters-in-law bought some side dishes with their own money and prepared a pig-killing feast at Xiao Yu's house.
Of course, each of the children who had been chosen earlier had the honor of being a guest at the table.
After the meal, the money was distributed. All the young workers who worked for half a month received wages of 80 to 100 yuan each, plus three pounds of candy each.
Xiao Xiaogu and others received one thousand each, plus candies, cigarettes and alcohol.
Uncle Xiao San and Uncle Xiao Er have all the soft candies, cigarettes, and alcohol. I'd like to thank all the parents for their cooperation over the past six months.
