Chapter 1074: Earthberry Mountain
Zhou Guo picked up a tree and turned it over and over. "It's really different. The fruits in this field are sweeter than those in Song County. Don't you think so?"
The old man sighed and said, "Isn't it because the fruit is so red and big?"
Zhou Guo shook his head, "No, it's not like you haven't eaten the fruits at home. Even the big ones are so red, and rarely are they so sweet. If you want to eat one, you can't find many in a field."
"Really?" The old man was suspicious. "Why didn't I notice it? You can taste such a subtle difference?"
Zhou Guo said: "This is easy. In two days, the fruits from other fields should also be delivered. You will know when you try them."
This idea of hers was not made randomly, but was actually tasted and tasted by her.
Although the piece of land outside the city is small and can't grow much, it is particularly suitable for growing ground berries. They are fragrant and sweet, and are considered a top-grade fruit among ground berries.
It seems that the mountains that have been opened up are not suitable for growing wild products anymore. It is better to use them to grow ground berries. In the future, they will become ground berry mountains. All the ground berries of the big farmers in the north will come from here. How much money can be made every year? ?
On the second day, there was still a small plate of fruit left in the basket, and fruits were also delivered from several other places.
The person delivering the fruit said, "Master, the ground berries are starting to turn red. This is the first batch. In the next seven or eight days, these fruits will be ready for sale."
Zhou Guo nodded, "I understand, you go back first."
These fruits were placed on the table in baskets, each one was bright red.
She brought over the plate of fruit left outside the city. Although it was a little wilted, it was still obvious that the fruits on both sides were slightly different.
The old man didn't believe it, so he took one and ate it, chewed it carefully, frowned, and ate another one.
Zhou Guo asked: "How is it, can you catch up with this?"
The old man said, "Yes, they are different. The berries outside the city have a stronger flavor. The ones delivered today have no flavor and are a bit bland."
Zhou Guo smiled. "I told you, this piece of land outside the city is really a great place to grow ground berries. With land like this, why grow mountain products? Growing ground berries will make more money."
Strawberries like this can be sold at a reasonable price of one tael of silver per pound.
The old man said, "Mountain products aren't cheap either. How can you plant all the ground berries on such a big mountain?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Yes, you said that the land is so good, and the fruits grown there taste so good, wouldn't it be a waste to grow mountain products? I'll use it to grow fruits, and other land can also be used to grow mountain products."
But it’s different with ground berries. Once you leave this piece of land, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find another piece of land like this.
She called Hu Zi and told him her plan.
Hu Zi was very happy. "I was just thinking, the fruits here seem to be different, they are always tastier than those from other places. Should we just use them to grow ground berries?"
Zhou Guo said: "As for mountain products, you can find another mountain. There is no rush for this matter. The most urgent thing now is the fruit."
The price of a pound of ground berries is not cheap. To make so much money, one naturally has to be cautious.
A few days later, the first batch of fruits for sale were delivered from the farm. Because the picked fruits had to be all red, in order to ensure that there would be fruits to sell every day for more than a month, no matter how many there were, only more than 60 kilograms were delivered on the first day.
The quantity was not large, so Hu Zi had them placed in front of the dim sum shop. In the morning, when there were not many people on the street, they were sold out.
More than 60 kilograms of wild berries were bought by several large buyers.
The old man asked, "Didn't you limit the quantity in previous years? If there were fewer things, more people would see them. Each family was only allowed to buy a certain amount. Are you not limiting the quantity this time?"
Zhou Guo said: "The seeds are limited in quantity because we want everyone to have them. These fruits..."
He smiled and said, "If we buy these today, before tomorrow, all the wealthy families in Yunzhou will know that there are ground berries for sale outside. They are fragrant and sweet big ground berries. Ground berries from other places cannot compare."
I don’t know where Manager Yang got the ground berries from. I haven’t seen them sold in Yunzhou in recent years.
I guess people just don't think much of this little money?
But it’s not cheap either, one pound can be sold for eight or nine hundred coins.
The old man thought about these wealthy families, and whenever they got something good, they would show off, entertain guests, and demonstrate their abilities. He understood this, so in this way, they wouldn't have to work hard to promote themselves.
In addition to the fruits that were sold, the pastry shop also kept some of the relatively less good quality ones to make pastries.
It is placed on the counter and looks very exquisite.
The price of the pastry will be different depending on how many slices you put on it.
The ladies and girls from wealthy families liked it very much.
There are not many days in the year when we can eat such pastries.
Sells very well.
With the first day, the fruits will be easier to sell on the second day.
Today's fruit is only over 50 kilograms, from another field. One kilogram of fruit is 988 coins. Although the quantity is small, it is a lot of money to earn every day.
In the first few days, the fruits were placed in front of the shop every day, and they were usually sold out soon after the shop opened.
Later, wealthy families started to place orders directly. They would come to the shop every day to place an order for the amount they wanted, and the goods would be delivered the next day.
In order to avoid offending each other, the number of reservations per day is limited. If anyone comes late, the seat will be sold out and they will have to wait until the next day.
After being sold for a few days, the ground berries in these places in Song County have also ripened.
At the beginning, the quantity was not large, so it was sold directly in the counties below, at more than 100 wen per pound.
Few people can afford such expensive fruit, and few are willing to buy it.
Only the wealthy families and landlords in the county were willing to spend the money to try it out.
After selling for eight or nine days, the fruits began to increase slowly, and the entire county could not eat them all.
It can only be stuffed into other counties.
They also began to supply Yunzhou, but these fruits could not be compared with the ones outside the city. The appearance was different and the taste was also different. One catty only cost one or two hundred coins, which was much cheaper than the fruits outside the city.
One or two hundred wen is not cheap, but even so, on the first day, there were still many people buying.
Some buy several kilograms, some buy one and a half kilograms, and some even buy by the piece, two or three, five or six, one for each person in the family.
I started selling ground berries last year, but because the quantity was small, they disappeared just as they became famous.
As soon as the raspberries came out this year, they were all bought up by wealthy families. They usually only saw their shadows, and when the raspberry baskets passed by them, they could smell the fragrant aroma.
Rich families in Yunzhou don’t have that much crabs. It’s the same as crabs. They can’t afford the top-quality ones, but they can still afford the middle-level ones if they eat a few pounds.
Therefore, the ground berries from places like Song County are still selling well.
After all, such fruits are rare, and it is rare to see them in Yunzhou.
The wealthy people were also happy because the fruit was different from the ones they bought. Not to mention the taste, even the appearance was a little different. What they ate was a delicacy that ordinary people could not afford.
They spend money willingly.
