Chapter 1075 There’s news
As more and more fruits came on the market, they also supplied them to teahouses, theaters and restaurants. Although they were cheaper, they could sell a lot of them every day. Together, they could sell several hundred kilograms of goods every day.
Sometimes, selling the goods individually may not necessarily exceed the sales of the goods given away.
As a result, the amount of money she earned every day increased, and she smiled happily while holding the account book.
The old man said, "This stuff sells so well, why don't you plant more next year? You don't lack land now anyway."
Zhou Guo said, "How can that be possible? If there are too many of these things, they will be worthless. The North is considered good, but many people are still struggling to get enough food. How can they afford to buy these things? Even if there are too many of them, no one will buy them. It's a waste of effort."
This year it's just right, not too much. Even if there is a slight shortage of supply, that's a good thing.
She is not going to be in variety anymore.
The old man said, "You are selling it for several hundred coins per pound now. If you lower the price to a few dozen coins, more people will buy it, and you will make more money then."
"Forget it. I'd rather make money from rich people. I'll be much happier making money from them, and I won't feel guilty setting the price too high. Let ordinary people use their money to buy a few pounds of meat."
Isn’t eating meat more substantial than eating fruit?
The ground berries were sold in various places in the north for more than half a month, and Zhou Guo made a lot of money.
At this time, news finally came from the border.
That day, the personal soldier came back in a hurry and said excitedly: "Sir, there is news from the border."
Zhou Guo was looking at the accounts of local farmers. He looked up immediately and said, "Go ahead."
"The Major General sent a letter saying that the battle at the border was over and that he returned victoriously with his army yesterday."
Zhou Guo was delighted. "They have already returned to the border. Will they come out?"
The personal soldier said, "I don't know about this."
Zhou Guo stood up excitedly and walked out.
The old man asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Guo said: "Go outside the city and pick some fruit."
She promised to send the fruits to Xu Sibei and the others when they were ripe, and she couldn't go back on her word.
The old man stood up and said, "I'll go too."
My steps were brisk. The border was clear, which was great news. The originally dark sky finally turned gray.
As long as the Xu family does not fall, the little disciple will not be sad.
I don’t know when, but the Zhou family and the Xu family became one.
Not far outside the city.
Rows of ground berries are planted on the rows of ground cages, and the red or green fruits hang on the edge of the cages, which is very beautiful.
The village head was directing people to pick fruits for tomorrow. When he heard that Zhou Guo and his group were coming, he hurried forward to greet them, "Master, why are you here now?"
Zhou Guo looked at her, a female village head who was promoted by her because she was particularly good at growing ground berries. In the past few months, she has become more and more shrewd and capable.
"I'll pick some fruit myself," he said. "Take me to see which field has big fruit."
The village head pointed to a field in the west and said, "The field over there was originally reserved for picking tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If the master wants to pick some to give away, that field is the best. The fruits are big and red, and there are still some to choose from."
He personally brought a few baskets to Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo took the basket and said, "I'll do it myself, you go ahead and do your work."
Yunzhou has been busy selling wild berries these days, so the farm is naturally busy too. This is the only time of the year when one can make money, so they naturally cannot neglect it.
"Well, Master, I won't accompany you. You can pick them slowly by yourself."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Go ahead."
The old man looked around the farm and sighed, "This time last year, there were only ten acres of land. It has only been a short time, and such a large farm has been built out of thin air. Even the small hill opposite is yours. If you were richer, wouldn't you buy all these hills?"
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Why do I need so many mountains? This piece of land is enough for now. No matter how delicious the ground berries are, if I can't sell them, they will be worthless. Not only will I not make any money, but I will also lose money. Isn't it a waste?"
Berries are grown here, so she will have to find another place for mountain products.
The old man didn't understand. "You're just taking off your pants to fart. You don't want the ready-made place, but you're wasting your energy looking for a place? The land is so big, and since it doesn't need that much land to grow ground berries, why don't you open up another piece on the side? The two farms can be combined, and you don't have to run around to ferment the manure. How great! When both sides are busy, you can still take care of each other. One group of people can be used as two groups, and even short-term labor can be saved."
The more he talked about it, the more he felt that his idea was a good one. It not only saved time and effort, but also saved a lot of money.
Zhou Guo looked at the surrounding environment. In fact, it didn't take much space to grow ground berries, and less than half of the mountain had been used.
If we grow mountain products, they can be used in other places in the mountains and will not be wasted.
Moreover, this place is close to the provincial capital, and fresh products like sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms, if left for two days after being picked, will never be as fresh as when they were just unearthed from the mountain. After a few days, the taste will eventually be compromised.
He did not object. "Okay, I'll go to the county magistrate later and bring him some delicious food."
It was originally said that she could only be given a large piece of the mountain. If that didn't work out, she could rent it, which would be much more cost-effective than buying.
The old man didn't have time to talk to her. He bent over with a basket and searched for ground berries. He picked up the ones that were closed and ate them without even blowing the dust. "Delicious, these fruits really have to be picked fresh from the field. They taste the best."
He was carrying an empty basket and ate the berries he picked without putting anything in it. After walking halfway along the ridge, there was not a single wild berry left in the basket.
Zhou Guo was a little tired of eating these days, so after eating two, he began to pick carefully.
There are many people in the camp, but I'm afraid not many of them can have a meal with the two brothers.
In addition to ground berries, we also need to give them other things. Don't pick too many ground berries. Four baskets are enough. One basket weighs five or six pounds, which is more than twenty pounds in total. It should be enough for them to eat.
The fruits she picked were all big and red, the best quality.
In addition to these fruits, she also asked people to prepare several baskets of crabs, pickled vegetables, a large jar of braised duck, and bought a lot of delicious snacks in Yunzhou.
The old man couldn't help but say, "Your uncle didn't even have this kind of treatment back then."
Zhou Guo said: "There was no way at that time. I wanted to send it to him, but do I have the ability to do so?"
Don’t you even look at why you can give it now?
The old man didn't say anything, but he felt that she was too nice to those two boys.
Zhou Guo still doesn’t know what he is thinking?
He said, "They are good to us, so we have to be good to them too. Look, my farm is short of people and fat, and they got them for me without saying a word. Xu's army also asked for food."
"How do you know there won't be a second time?"
"Even if we have to do it a second time, there will be a reason. We will get it back later."
