Chapter 918 How to sell fruit
The family went to the fields.
At this time, four people came out, two young couples, and when they saw the Zhou family, they hurried forward to pay their respects.
Zhou Guo said, "Go ahead, we're just here to see how the ground berries are growing."
Li and his friends have already gone to the fields. On the baskets of groundberry seedlings, there are green, red, large and small fruits hanging. Some are still blooming, and some are not even a month old...
The old man looked at the acres of land. A lot of vegetables were planted in the remaining acres. He said, "It's okay now. If there are too many groundberry seedlings, won't they have nothing to eat here? Besides, there are only a few acres of land. Isn't four people too much?"
He can grow several acres of vegetables by himself, but it's just a few acres of raspberries, and he needs four people?
There are so many family members?
Zhou Guo said, "This is just the beginning. Not all of them are good at growing this. The others are here to learn how to grow it. I am still looking for land. If I can't find any extra land, I will clear a piece of land in Song County and move the ground berry seedlings there. Two or one person will be enough here, and the majority will be over there."
Song County is a big place, you can get as much as you want.
Zhou Mai and his friends were walking in the fields, picking and eating whatever they saw that they liked. Xiaohua ate with her little butt sticking out her head and her eyes narrowed.
Zhou Guo also went to the fields. Although these acres of land were not large, when the fruit was at its peak, they could probably pick forty to fifty kilograms a day.
Now that we have just started, we can gain about 20 to 30 kilograms every day.
Li came over excitedly and asked, "How are you going to sell this fruit?"
Originally, there were few seedlings at home, and they were too conspicuous in the village, so she didn't think of selling them outside. Now they have all been moved out, and they are growing in patches so well that when she looked at them, it was like seeing money all over the ground.
Zhou Guo had already thought about it, "This fruit is precious and rare, so it is not sold to ordinary people. One catty is 899 coins!"
Li gasped, "Can this be sold?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Mom, this ground berry is a rare thing even in the south. Most people can't grow it well. Even if they are lucky enough to get a few seedlings, they will die in a month, let alone in the north.
I've been in Yunzhou for a few years, and I've never seen this thing on the market. Even if it did exist, it would have been scooped up by the big players before it even appeared on the market. It's hard for ordinary people to even see one. I'm selling it for 899 coins, which is not expensive."
It’s hard to describe Li, but if you calculate it this way, it’s really not expensive.
She thought of herself. Now that her family was better off, she would be willing to spend the money on wild berries at 899 wen per pound if her family had never eaten them before.
Not to mention one kilogram, even three or five kilograms will be fine, even ten kilograms. As long as the kids like to eat it, I’d be willing to buy it if I grit my teeth.
If you think about it this way, the fruit which costs 899 wen per pound will not be a problem to sell. The key is that it is not much!
Zhou Guo went to the edge of the field to look for some fruits, all of which were small fruits that he could keep for his own consumption. One pound of fruit cost nine hundred wen, so the quality had to be good, and it had to be big and red.
Zhou Gu asked, "I think these fruits can be sold. When will they be picked?"
Zhou Guo said, "The shop is ready and will start selling tomorrow. We can come early tomorrow and pick the fruits in the field and then transport them to the shop to sell. If we pick them now, they will not be fresh by tomorrow morning."
Let’s meet there.
Everyone knows that if the wild berries picked at home are not eaten up, they will not be as juicy the next morning after being left overnight, so they have to be picked and sold immediately.
After watching in the field for a while and seeing that it was getting late, everyone got in the car and went back to the city.
No family member has ever been to this house in Yunzhou.
There were only three or five servants in the house, including the doorman and those who cleaned the kitchen. Zhou Guo didn't come often, so these few people were enough.
The family felt very surprised. Although the Zhou family had several houses in Yunzhou, all of them were rented out and they collected rent every year.
This house was rented out and someone else lived in it, so naturally it had nothing to do with them, so they never felt that they were from Yunzhou.
But this time it’s different. They actually have a home and a house in Yunzhou. Aren’t they real Yunzhou people?
Zhou Suli and Li Lai took Xiaohua for a walk around the house. Although it was only a three-story house, it had everything it needed. There was even a small garden in the backyard, a rockery and even a small fish pond. Of course, there were no fish in it, nothing at all.
But it was also well maintained, very clean, you could see the bottom of the water at a glance, and the yard was swept very diligently.
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi were looking at the front yard, trying to find a room for themselves, a bigger one, half for living and half for study.
Li was looking at the main house in the backyard. Seeing that no one was living in either room, she asked Zhou Guo, "Which room do you live in?"
Zhou Guo pointed to the front yard and said, "In front, I can live anywhere by myself. I sleep in the study at night. I'm too lazy to bother."
She liked to stay in the study and only came back to the bedroom at night, so she simply didn't live here.
Li said, "How can that be possible? The study is a study. You will move back here from now on. You will live in the east wing, and your aunt and I will live in the west wing."
Generally speaking, the east wing is the main house.
Zhou Guo said quickly, "Mom, you and your aunt should live in the east wing. Why would a little kid like me live in the east wing? If it gets out, people will think I'm frivolous."
Li waved her hand, "We can't live here more than twice a year, but you can always live here for a few months a year. Why leave the main room empty? This side is bigger than the other side. You can live here. It's much more comfortable than the study. Your study has too many books and smells. It's not comfortable to live in."
As she spoke, she moved her and Xu's luggage to the west wing. Her daughter had to take care of more things over the years and had more things, so she needed a lot of space.
Unlike the two of them, they only see the same few people every year, so it's just a matter of making a few more sets of clothes. Two people can always fit in one room.
Zhou Guo stopped refusing, because it didn't matter where she lived.
Zhou Gu and Wu Ya also chose a room, and also chose one for Xiaohua.
Xiaohua is old now and needs to slowly learn to sleep alone. After two years, it will not be appropriate for her to sleep with them.
Zhou Su and Li Lai also chose one each.
Zhou Mai, Zhou Mi and Zhou Guo all lived in the front yard and thought it was pretty good.
As for the old man, he did the same as usual and chose a place closest to the kitchen.
They chose their rooms one by one. The cook had already prepared the meal and set the table in the yard. The family sat in the yard to eat.
Li looked around the yard and said with emotion, "I never thought that one day we would have a home in Yunzhou."
Although their family had been thriving in the past few years, in their subconscious minds, they were not Yunzhou people. Every time they came here, they stayed in an inn like guests. Now they suddenly became the owners, which felt like a dream.
