Fruit Tycoon [Farming]

Xu Yi and Liu Mingcheng walked to the north side of the river together, and the water level was indeed much higher than it was a few months ago. Before Xu Yi came home, the Xu family had 2 mu of land here, which was later rented out to outsiders to plant trees for 6 yuan. More dollars per acre.

For the same renting of land, it only costs more than 200 yuan per mu to the locals. Before the trees were planted, the villagers had a lot of quarrels over the matter of renting the land, especially those who rented it to the locals. Before the expiration date, they wanted to take the land back, just for the price difference of more than 500 yuan.

For rural people, let alone 500 yuan, even 50 yuan is extremely precious.

Standing on the river dam, Xu Yi and Liu Mingcheng were both wearing sandals, and each occupied a position with a wide view. Two children stood beside them, holding a bamboo pole and two buckets beside them.

Lobsters are ready to be caught this season, but in Xu Yi's impression, it seems that the lobsters start to get fat after June, but it is also possible that the aquatic lobsters are different from the farmed lobsters.

Not long after, the floating thread on Xu Yi's side didn't respond yet, but the child's thread next to him was dangling on the water surface. The lobster kept thumping, just like the flying insects buzzing past at home in summer. It kept shaking.

"Hey hey!" Accidentally, the lobster let go of the earthworm it was clinging tightly to, and jumped directly into the water. The boy next to him couldn't help showing a disappointed look, and his cheeks were a little red.

"Don't be afraid, lobsters are easy to catch, and another one will come up soon—" Before Xu Yi finished speaking, his bamboo pole moved into the water immediately, and through the clear water, Xu Yi could even see the lobster's head floating on the water to breathe , he made a decisive decision, pulled the bamboo pole, and threw the lobster up early.

"Hey, he's really big!" Xu Yi sighed, "It seems that no one is fishing for lobsters now!"

When he was a child, a group of ten or so children got together, and wherever they went, it was like locusts crossing the border. The lobsters and fish in the river, the frogs in the fields, and the sparrows in the trees... Few of them could escape their clutches.

Later, the environment was not good, and the number of lobsters became less and less. Xu Yi didn't expect to catch such a big lobster today, which was comparable to the lobsters in the barbecue shop.

"My family is busy farming, who has time to catch this?" Liu Mingcheng put away the bamboo pole, and he also caught one, but it was not as big as the one Xu Yi just caught.

The luck of the two children also improved now, and they caught several of them one after another. Liu Mingcheng felt a little regretful: "I knew that I should wear less clothes, and go down to the river to touch the snails!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a red figure flashed across the water. It was a common water snake in the water. Liu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my mother, luckily I didn't go into the water!"

Even though the snake is not poisonous, the smooth scales still make one's scalp tingle!

The four of them concentrated on fishing for lobsters. Liu Mingcheng occasionally asked the two children about their studies. When he asked, the two children turned their heads away without saying a word, which made the cousin very embarrassed.

After a while, a dog barking suddenly came from a distance, Xu Yi turned around and saw that Tantou, his own dog brother, was rushing over with an army of dog brothers.

I don't know if it was fate or a special coincidence, but at the moment when Tantou was running towards the river dam, a brown figure with shiny fur suddenly flashed across the field.

——The weasel that impressed both Xu Yi and Probe.

Xu Yi watched Tantou's galloping pace come to a halt, like a speeding car suddenly facing a sudden brake, and Tantou's front legs even scratched clear mud marks on the ground.

Seeing Tantou stop suddenly, its dog brothers were very puzzled. They poked their heads and stared at Tantou fiercely.

This dog is still very majestic among the dog brothers, but this majesty was completely wiped out when he saw the weasel flashing across the field of vision. Tantou simply stopped. Before the weasel completely disappeared, he was absolutely Will not go to the dam.

The dogs were also very obedient, Tantou stopped, and they stopped too.Just like that, a row of dogs sat on the field stalks, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped these lovely creatures. Xu Yi couldn't help but take an artistic photo of them.

After fishing for lobsters, although the bucket was not full, it was still heavy to lift. Xu Yi and Liu Mingcheng each carried a bucket. The two children walked in front of them, while the dogs slipped to the front and then to the back. Wang Wang's happy cry rang all the way.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, greenhouse watermelons are on the market again.

This year's launch was earlier than last year's. Xu Yi notified the news in advance. On the day the melons were on the market, trucks had already gathered near the greenhouse to transport watermelons.The place where the car was parked before was still a dirt road, but later because the business was so hot that cars couldn't park on the side of the road, Xu Yi simply built a cement yard as a parking lot.

Although Xu Yi's supply is less than last year, no matter how little the supply is, every fruit brand still comes with full sincerity.

"Old Wang, it's raining like that in Xiyun County this year. Didn't you say on the phone the day before yesterday that the quality of watermelons is not good and you don't plan to come?"

Old Wang squinted at him: "Didn't you also say that?"

The person who spoke chuckled: "Who would be willing!"

While talking, several fruit brands that had vowed not to come this year actually came. When they saw so many cars parked at the door, their faces immediately showed disappointment.

The severe typhoon this year has affected the whole province's fruits. The taste is worse than last year, and the output is not as good as last year.But even so, the quality of Xu's fruit is recognized as good. Even if the quality has declined compared to last year, it is still excellent compared with orchards in other places. It is a fool to give up the opportunity to others!

Xu Yi was dispatching in the shed, and Xu's parents and Xu's mother also rushed back from Sujin City to help pick melons and transport them.

The two persons in charge of Koukouxiang Orchard and Haorii Orchard murmured softly at the side: "The quality of the melons harvested in various places this year is not good, and I don't know how Xu's is?"

"I hope it's not that bad. Recently, there are a lot of people buying melons in our store. They just pick and choose one by one, shake their heads and leave, but the quality is still not good."

Just as she was talking, Xu's mother walked over with two round watermelons in her arms, and cut the watermelon lightly with a knife, and the watermelon made a crisp sound, which was a sign that the watermelon was ripe.

When Mama Xu cut the melon into slices, the people in charge couldn't wait to pick up a piece and observe it first... The color is bright and the color is very positive. At first glance, it is not a ripening melon, but a normal-growing watermelon.

But isn't Xiyun County raining for many consecutive days this year?

It was too late to delve into the reason, the people in charge lowered their heads and began to taste the watermelon seriously.

"This, this, why is this melon so sweet?"

This taste is even better than last year's Xu's melon. It has a fresh and refreshing taste, and the flavor of sweet juice fills the mouth with just one bite... Just one bite can wipe away the irritability in people's hearts.

The flesh is slightly brittle. The moment you eat a whole piece of watermelon, all the cells in your body seem to do a heart-cleaning exercise, and your whole body and soul feel happy.

Almost at the same time, many people in charge rushed to the greenhouse and walked in front of Xu Yi.

"Mr. Xu, we are an old cooperative relationship. Anyway, you have to save more of this melon for us?"

"Mr. Xu, our Mr. Bai said that he is willing to increase the price, as long as you can give me more melons..."

"We are also willing to increase the price!"

"The quantity of goods we agreed on before was not enough at all. Our store can't manage it for three days, so we just went back. Mr. Shen wants to settle accounts with us!"

The scale of watermelons has not changed much compared with last year, but the demand for Xu's watermelons in the Sujin market has far exceeded the production scale.At the end of last year's sales, Sujin City even had a fruit purchasing agent, which is a profession that delivers Xu's fruits bought in Sujin City to nearby counties and cities.

It is a pity that each of these fruit purchasing agents is substandard.Often after buying the fruit, or on the way to the express delivery, smelling the aroma of the fruit in the box, the saliva drips, and after a while, the fruit in the box is eaten up by them, and they have to go back and buy it again.

Xu Yi refused to raise the price, but in the face of other people's demands, he only promised to expand the scale next year.

Fruit wholesalers are actually waiting for this sentence.No matter what they ask for today, the orchard has only so much output in total, and so many people have come, even if one person adds a little bit, it's not enough points, not to mention that Xu's has its own chain store.

If the taste of the fruit reaches Xu's level, it will not only be supplied to ordinary orchards, but also to foreign guests and Michelin restaurants... If it passes the above testing standards, it is not impossible to appear on the table of the state banquet.

If the up and down arrangement continues next year, none of the fruit merchants present will be able to get a piece of the pie based on this year's scale.

Xu's father, Xu's mother, Xu Yi, uncle's family, aunt's family... After a busy day, the first batch of watermelons was transported to various fruit shops in Sujin City with the truck, and the remaining small part was transported to the Xu Yi's own truck, Xu's parents and Xu's mother went to Sujin City with the car.

After staying in Sujin for more than half a year, Xu's father and Xu's mother have become more and more accustomed to living there.

……

Sujin City.

The old customers of "Xu's" passed by the store as usual, but found that the store door, which usually only rings with wind chimes, has reopened today.

I haven't seen a single grape that I've been thinking about for almost a year, and there are watermelons that are round and green and make people drool at the sight of them.

Compared with the sky-high price of 18 catties of grapes, Xu's watermelon is a conscientious price, only 180 yuan per catty. The first customer who passed by the store happily picked a watermelon, paid [-] yuan and carried it away.

Halfway there, the customer suddenly remembered.

Is he bloated?A 180 yuan watermelon he actually thinks is a conscience price?

His monthly salary is only 6000 yuan!

But thinking of the delicious taste of grapes last year, he couldn't help drooling, not to mention that 180 yuan can only buy 1 catty 8 taels of grapes, and a whole watermelon can be bought, which is so big, bigger than his head!

Thinking about it this way, the customer's mood suddenly became happy again, and the watermelon didn't feel heavy in his hand, and he was as beautiful as a fat man weighing eight hundred catties.

In just one morning, about 3000 melons were sold in the store, easily worth more than [-] yuan.

On the other hand, the newly opened store of "Xu's" has a completely different experience.
