Zhao took a quick look and said, "Okay, okay, there's still a lot of it. It'll go bad in a few days, so go ahead and sell it if you want."
Little Bell quickly grabbed Zhao's hand and said, "Grandma, if there are some really big and sweet ones here, pick them up and eat them yourself. You can buy the rest later."
As she spoke, Xiao Lingling handed two to her and gave Zhao a look.
Zhao understood instantly that it was most likely taken out from that treasure, and nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's keep the best ones for ourselves, and send some to your godfather and the others so that everyone can have a taste.
After all, such delicious fruits are not available every year. Come, second brother, help pick them up quickly."
Song Jie and Huo Qiuyue heard the news early in the morning and came over, "Aunt Zhao, don't worry, we'll come and help too. We have nothing to do anyway.
But seriously, these cherries are really big and sweet. I haven’t had them in years.”
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xiao Lingling happily sat aside to help, and occasionally two more people joined in.
In fact, she didn't put too much in. Everyone was picking them out and dividing them into baskets, picking out some broken or overripe ones.
In the end, the largest ones were picked out and filled two large baskets.
There were two baskets, one large and one small, of broken and ripe fruits.
There are five large baskets of food left that can be sold, and each basket can hold more than 100 kilograms.
Logically speaking, an ordinary cherry tree cannot bear so many fruits.
But that cherry tree is really big, and one person can’t hug the trunk. I don’t know how many years it has been growing in this deep mountain.
I guess there is no other tree like this in the whole mountain.
It is precisely because it is large enough that it is difficult to transplant, otherwise Xiao Lingling would have wanted to transplant it directly home.
Zhao pointed to the five large baskets and said, "If you want to sell them, take four from here.
We can divide the rest among ourselves and pick out some to give to the villagers as a token of appreciation."
Lin Ran's face lit up with joy. "Okay, I promise to sell all four baskets!"
Zhao ignored him and sent another thirty or forty kilograms of the remaining cherries to Damao's family.
Although Damao and Erdan had already packed two small baskets and took them back when they went down the mountain, she had to express her gratitude because the children had helped.
As for the rest, Zhao divided the ripe ones into two baskets, one large and one small, and gave some to every household in the village.
It’s not much, maybe only two or three per family, but it’s a nice gesture and everyone appreciates it.
As for the last two baskets with the largest heads, in addition to eating them ourselves, we also divided out two more baskets using small baskets.
One basket was sent to the Wu family, and the other basket was sent to the academy for the teacher.
Thinking about selling cherries in the afternoon, everyone ate lunch very hastily.
Right after dinner, Lin Ran urged to go to the county to sell cherries.
"Grandma, how are we going to the county? Dad and Grandpa are not here."
Jiang Xinian waved his hand. "Don't worry, I've already arranged the people. It looks like you all plan to go with us?"
Jiang Xinian glanced at the children, and none of them nodded.
This is the first time they have gone out to set up a stall to sell things. Who wouldn’t want to try such a novel experience?
Even Little Bell was eager to try it.
Jiang Xinian smiled and said, "Well, let's go! Let's see if you can sell all of these. Chen Zhe, go get someone to drive the cart."
There are so many people today, and with all the cherries, it would take at least three carriages.
Zhao originally wanted to go with them, but then she thought that today was about the children's affairs.
And with Jiang Xinian, Xu Guling and others following them, nothing serious would happen, so they just let them go.
So the people who went this time included the three Lin brothers, Xiao Lingdang, Qiaomei, and Qin Yu.
There are also Wu Tongtong, Song Qianzhong and three others, and the rest are Jiang Xinian, Xu Guling and Geng Haokang.
It can be said that the children came out in full force.
Lin Ran had already started mobilizing in the carriage.
"Well, let's decide on a price first. Tongtong, Qianzhong, you've bought fruit in the county before. Do you know what the average price is?"
Song Qianzhong and Sun Yongxuan had never gone out to buy anything, so when they heard this, they quickly shook their heads.
Wu Tongtong smiled and said, "I did go out shopping with them, but it wasn't cherries, it was loquats and pears.
Generally speaking, one pound costs about twenty or thirty cents, which is very expensive and most people can't afford it.
These cherries are quite rare, so they should be sold at this high a price, right?"
Lin Ran thought for a long time, then shook his head, "No, we have a lot of fruit here, hundreds of kilograms.
Although there are many wealthy people in this county, it is probably not easy to buy them all.
It's free anyway, so why not set the price at fifteen cents per pound for now?
If someone buys more than ten catties, we can charge twelve cents per catty. We are the only one in the business, so there will definitely be buyers.”
As he spoke, he picked out half a basket from each of the two small baskets.
"Well, since there are so many of us, we can split up and keep these two small baskets for people to try.
I took Xiao Wu, Xiao Song and Xiao Sun to the entrance of the academy on Yunhe Street.
Little sister, you, your second brother, Qiaomei, Qinyu and Tongtong should go to Mudan Street. There are many rich people there.
How about we take two baskets each and then meet up at our furniture store after we sell them all?"
Xiao Lingling nodded. This was the first time in her life that she was making money, so she was still very confident.
"Okay! Third brother, let's do as you say! Brother Zhe, thank you for taking us to Mudan Street."
Chen Zhe, who was driving the car outside, responded repeatedly, "Okay, don't worry, we'll be there soon."
Soon, we arrived at the county. It was just past noon and quite hot, so there were still many people walking on the street.
Xiao Lingdang and the others were dropped at the intersection of Mudan Street and Shaoyao Street.
Jiang Xinian also followed them down, but turned around and went to the teahouse opposite so that he could help the children at any time if they had any problems.
Lin Hao put out two large baskets of cherries, and Xiao Lingling sprinkled some water on the cherries, making them look more tempting.
However, Qin Yu is a man of few words, and his second brother Qiaomei and Tongtong are relatively introverted, so it can be said that none of them can fight.
Wu Tongtong saw that everyone passing by was looking at them, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
"Little sister, can we really do this? How do we sell this?"
Little Bell was not panicked, she pinched her throat and cleared it, "Ahem, let's take a look.
Dear uncles, aunts, grandparents, brothers and sisters, please don’t miss it if you pass by.
There is a limited supply of sweet and sour cherries here. Each person can try one. If it is not sweet, it is free.
The humming sound of the little bell was not loud in the noisy street, but it was novel and attractive enough.
Soon people were attracted by her voice and gathered around them.
