Chapter 920: Will Anyone Buy It?
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi both gave her their private savings. They ate and lived at home and had little place to spend money.
Li Lai was not to be outdone.
Zhou Guo said: "I don't want it. This money is what you worked so hard to save. Just keep saving it."
"It doesn't matter. You save it for later use. It will be much more useful to you than to me." Zhou Su was anxious and couldn't understand why Zhou Guo didn't want it.
Zhou Guo touched his head and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister. But Xiao Su, your money is useless to me. It's just a drop in the bucket. You should keep it for yourself."
After that, he said to Zhou Mai and the others, "Brothers, your money is the same. A little bit of money won't make much difference, lest it drag you down. Take this money and buy something you like."
Her huge business cost tens of thousands of taels at a time. If she used up a little bit of it, not only would it not be enough to save the emergency, but it would also bring burden to her family.
Several people were greatly shocked. Is six hundred taels too little?
Their total assets amount to several thousand taels. Don’t you even look down upon these few thousand taels?
Zhou Gu said, "I still have some, several thousand taels, I'll give it to you."
Zhou Guo shook his head, "Brother, I don't want any of it. You keep your money. If our family is really in trouble, we will have to rely on you. I will find a way to get the money from the business, but you cannot use your private money."
She can still make the clear distinction between private and public use.
Li was very worried. "Then open a shop. You need mother. Mother will help you. I am also good at making snacks now."
She was deft with her hands, and what she made was even better looking than those women's.
Zhou Guo said: "No need, you just need to assign me two dim sum chefs, with them my shop will be halfway there."
It’s hard to find a shop in Yunzhou now, so you have to rent one. Renting is always much easier than buying.
Li said, "Just adjust it. I'll just check the accounts from time to time. Aren't you in charge of these people? You don't have to tell me."
Zhou Guyi raised his hand and said, "Let's go pick some fruit. We can save the small ones to make snacks later."
The family went down to the fields again with scissors in hand.
This was the first batch of ground berries picked. There weren’t many. The total amount picked by several people was only 32 kilograms.
They all feel it is not enough.
The old man said, "This is just a small amount. If there are many dishes that the family likes to eat, it would not be enough to buy them all at once. It's too little. How much can it sell for?"
In the past few years, they didn't think of selling this thing like this. They just picked it and ate it, and didn't think of picking out the seeds to grow seedlings. Sometimes the seedlings in the field grew into small seedlings, and they pinched and threw away all the vines. Otherwise, not to mention these few acres of land, there would be dozens of acres of land over the years.
Zhou Guo said: "One catty is nine hundred coins, thirty-two catties can be sold for more than twenty strings of cash."
Everyone except Lee gasped, "How much??"
No one knew yet that she was going to sell it at this price. When they heard that the fruit was 900 wen per pound, their eyes went dark.
"Would anyone buy this? Just for this bite of fruit?"
"I think it's difficult. One catty costs 900 wen. How much rice and flour can I buy? How much oil and salt can I buy? I can even buy dozens of catties of meat. Who will buy it?"
"And I can buy dozens of chickens."
Zhou Mai and the others all said one after another that the fruit was worth nine hundred coins per pound and would definitely not be sold.
Only a fool would buy it.
Zhou Gu rarely said anything. He had been doing business for several years and had a good idea of what was good and what price it could be sold for.
Besides, Zhou Guo has put the finished product here, and if you still can’t see it, then all his years of hard work would have been wasted.
Zhou Guo looked at them and said, "Who said no one wants to buy? A large crab costs one and a half coins per string, not much more expensive than this. I see you guys are enjoying eating them, eating several in one meal, and in a few seasons you can eat dozens of them, dozens of strings of coins. Why don't you guys say you can't sell them?"
"How can they be the same..." Zhou Mi stopped talking before he finished his sentence, as if there was really no difference. A pound of fruit is more than a crab, enough for a family to eat, while a crab is only enough for one person and is more expensive than fruit.
Zhou Mai said: "Then we have to see if there are many buyers. Let's go back to the city."
A group of people got on a carriage and headed for Yunzhou City.
The duck shop has been cleaned up and simply decorated, with cabinets available.
The old man looked around and shook his head. "Isn't it a bad idea to sell fruit next to duck? How much is the duck? How much is the fruit? Can people who buy duck afford the fruit?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, think about it. Duck products are not cheap per pound. Who would spend money to buy these things when ordinary people don't have enough food to eat? It's also cost-effective to buy chickens and ducks yourself. Those who can spend this money to buy duck products are those who have enough food at home."
"If they have enough food to eat and can afford duck products, then they can also afford fruit products. One kilogram of fruit can buy dozens of kilograms of duck products."
"Yeah, will this work?" Li also felt that it was not very reliable.
Zhou Guo said, "If I can find a place, can I still squeeze in here? I know it's not suitable, but there is no other suitable shop except here. If there is no shop, it will be displayed on the street like a dish. I'm afraid it won't sell for this price. It's so embarrassing."
Zhou Mai said silently, "Cheng Ding, aren't you planning to put those fruits in front of the mountain goods store?"
"How did you know?" She didn't tell them.
Li smiled and said, "You have said it so many times. You said it last year when the fruit came out."
Zhou Guo said, "The lingonberry can't be compared to this fruit. It's big and can be stored. It's not rare in the north. You can buy it in fruit stores every autumn, but ground berries don't have it."
Although ringola berries are not that rare, they can still be bought. But it is different with ground berries. Ordinary people cannot even find them if they want to buy them.
Zhou Mi carefully stacked the fruits on the side. After listening to them, he said, "Don't argue. The fruits are already on display and the door is open. We'll know in a while. What are you arguing about? Don't you always say that we should speak with facts?"
Zhou Guo saw that the fruits had been arranged. The delicate little baskets were filled with red wild berries piled to the brim, which was so attractive that it made people unable to walk.
Li waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the back and wait. This shop is small to begin with, and with so many of us guarding here, no one else dares to come in."
A group of people walked back in a rush, looking out through the screen quietly.
Zhou Guo also left, leaving only the two guys who usually sold roast duck.
It is almost the beginning of the 4th hour now, and I don't know when these dozens of kilograms of fruit will be sold out.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw someone coming.
It was a woman who looked at the bright red fruits and asked, "What kind of fruits are these and how much do they cost?"
The young man said, "Madam, this is called ground berry. It is very difficult to grow and there are not many fruits. One pound costs 899 coins."
