At the beginning of May, some early-maturing loquats on Niuwangzhuang began to turn yellow. The two sisters, Luo Meihui and Luo Meiling, went to the mountains to see them every day. Houwazi came late last year and hadn’t eaten loquats. When he went up to see the loquats, he asked Lao Zhou, "Father, how much does a catty of loquats cost?"

"It's 30 yuan a catty, and I'll give you a 24% discount, that's [-] yuan." Old Zhou replied.

"It's too expensive, we won't sell this." At this time, Xiao Shulin, who was sitting not far away and was doing walnut carving, said.

"..." Houwazi scratched his ears. Is 24 yuan so expensive? The small biscuits he usually sells the most cost 16 yuan a catty.

When the loquats matured, Houwazi knew why his father said that the loquats were too expensive. The loquats in their family were not too big because they were local varieties. Even so, there were only about ten pieces per catty.

So many loquats will cost 24 yuan?Houwazi frowned, he also felt that it was expensive.But it's good to eat it by yourself. This loquat is delicious, sweet and juicy, and no matter how much he eats, his father will not ask him for money.

"Xiao Luoping, why didn't you bring the loquats?" After a few days, the children in the town also heard that the loquats in Niuwangzhuang were ripe.

"Go to the supermarket." Houwazi is selling freeze-dried vegetables to a female classmate at the moment. Bags of freeze-dried vegetables are packed in small sealed bags, and each bag costs one dollar. I compared and compared those bags, and finally chose the one that seemed to have the most weight.

"You can't buy it in supermarkets." Not every parent is willing to get up early and queue up. Let the children buy one or two from Houwazi. A loquat is only three yuan for three yuan, and five yuan is only five yuan. Eat one or two every day , the average family can still afford it, of course the most important thing is for convenience.

"Xiao Luoping, you can also sell loquats!" The little girl who just bought freeze-dried vegetables has already opened the bag and ate them.

Houwazi thought for a while, and told his fathers that he wanted to sell loquats when he returned home that night, but Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin didn't stop him either. Anyway, it was a loss or a profit in the end, and he had to let this kid sell it himself to know.

The next morning Xiao Shulin still went to town to practice martial arts. When Luo Meng took Houwazi to the courtyard for breakfast, the day's loquats had already been picked back in the yard. Luomeng gave him a small basket and asked Houwazi to pick it himself. Go, he didn't watch from the sidelines, and went to talk to Chen Jianhua about the matter.

"Monkey boy, why do you choose the small ones?" the aunt who was weighing the loquat couldn't help asking.

"Expensive!" Houwazi said, frowning.

"Hey, hey! Look at this kid!" The aunt couldn't help laughing, and said to the people next to her, "How many years has it been since this happened? We used to do this when life was hard. When a visitor comes to the house, no matter what, you have to boil a pair of eggs. I am reluctant to choose the big one, and I am afraid that people will notice the small one, so I have to pick and choose every time. I have to touch and touch a few eggs."

"Who says it's not? Don't talk about eggs at that time, you can't even eat white rice."

"The young people nowadays have not lived a hard life. They are just different from us. I see some of them dumping leftovers at home every day. I feel sorry for them."

"That's all people who haven't been hungry."

"It's not easy to go hungry these days."

"How did Lao Zhou teach the children? Tell me, why is he so calculating? You have to pick the young ones when you sell loquats."

"Hey, their kindergarten doesn't have a scale, so it's just a matter of selling."

"Houboy, why don't you sell such a small loquat to your classmates?"

"Yeah." Houwazi didn't think he was doing anything wrong, he was just thinking about how to sell these loquats so that he wouldn't lose money.

"Old Zhou, it looks like you have taught such a good boy to become a money addict."

"What?" Luo Meng was talking to Chen Jianhua just now, so he didn't pay attention to the movement here.

"Look at the loquats that Houwazi picked." The aunt smiled and pointed to Houwazi's basket, showing Lao Zhou the loquats he picked out.

When Luo Meng saw it, there was still something he didn't understand. Didn't he just want to get a little more loquats with a smaller one? That's a good boy. We all know that we have to start with the cost of terminating the contract, so he praised without hesitation: "My son is old Smart!"

"Your son is always stingy!" The people next to him laughed and retorted.

"Old Zhou, you can't do this? How can you teach him to pick those little loquats?" An old lady joked with him.

"I didn't teach this." This is what his son is smart and realized by himself.

"If you didn't teach him, who else would? He's only old enough to know how to do this by himself?" A four-year-old doll, what can he know?

"We don't believe you if you say that Shulin taught it." Although Xiao Shulin is the son of Boss Xiao, his image in everyone's minds is decent and honest. In addition, he is now teaching martial arts in the town every day. Popularity is much better than before.

"Anyway, I didn't teach it. Could it be you who taught it? Hey, I'm a mistake in kung fu. How did you teach him?" Old Zhou saw that he couldn't make up his mind, so he beat him up. .

"What do you say?"

"How can we teach him that?"

"Don't tell me, I didn't even think about doing this."

"Who else but Lao Zhou?"

"This child was taught by him, is it really like what you said?"

"Go out and say that his surname is not Zhou, and no one will believe it."

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is Zhou."

"What's Lao Zhou's last name?"

"Hey, look at me, I forgot again, Lao Zhou's surname is not Zhou!"

In the midst of such gossip, Luo Meng weighed the small basket of loquats, then took his son's little hand, and the father and son went to the intersection to wait for the ox cart. Every morning at this time, they were on the road There are many bullock carts coming and going, and one can be waited for in a while.

On the way, Luo Meng asked him how much he planned to sell a loquat. Houwazi told him that it would cost three and a half yuan, but Luomeng didn't say anything. The experience told to him is not as profound as what he summed up by himself.

Houwazi's small basket of loquats weighed more than three catties in total. When he first arrived at the kindergarten, he was snatched up by the children in no time, and two young teachers from the kindergarten followed him to buy it.

The principal of the kindergarten had a talk with Romon and the others before, because of the fact that Houwazi was selling things at school. The principal is also an open-minded person. He said that Houwazi is too introverted, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to talk to other people. The children played together, and sold things very happily, and communicated more with other students. If this is the case, let him continue to sell.

But it can only be sold for fun, and it can't make too much noise, otherwise, their kindergarten can't help it if they want to pretend they don't know.And if some parents report this problem in the future, saying that Monkey Boy affects the learning atmosphere of the kindergarten, they can't ignore it. By then, Monkey Boy should not be able to continue selling things.

Houwazi went home that night and counted the money. When he found out that he had made money, he immediately became happy. Early the next morning, he took Xiaolan to pick loquats again, completely unaware that his great career of making money might be destroyed at any time stop.

On the other hand, the two foreigners in Niuwangzhuang, they just came to Niuwangzhuang for two days, they found out that some of the pao thorns produced in Niuwangzhuang are sold to Tongcheng, and some are sold to Hong Kong, there is no surplus at all. The fruit could be sold to them, so the two of them stayed at Niuwangzhuang in the name of investigation and never went back.

This time the loquats on the mountain were ripe, and the two of them couldn't sit still. After discussing it, they decided to talk to Chen Jianhua about cooperation.

The loquat fruit grown in Niuwangzhuang is small in size but full of fruit flavor. When Luo Meng bought the loquat tree, he bought the local loquat bred from the old tree planted in the village and transplanted it. After planting for more than a year after coming here, the fruit trees have grown stronger and more fruit-bearing this year. In addition, there are a small number of fruit trees that did not enter the fruit-bearing period last year, and this year they also began to bear fruit. Production is much higher than last year.

However, this number is only compared to last year. Last year, they did not sell a single loquat to Hong Kong. The supply of the store in the town and Tongcheng Jiweilou alone was already in short supply. This year, with the addition of Boss Duan, these fruits on the mountain It looks like a lot, but it may not be enough to sell.

Chen Jianhua told Luo Meng about this, and Luo Meng let him push it away. His Niuwangzhuang is only so big in total, and it can't be done in the domestic market alone, not to mention the selling price in the country is also good. Why bother to send things abroad?

Mike and Charles can obviously understand Romon's decision. After all, they are not very advantageous in terms of price. The prices given by Boss Duan and Boss Ma are very good. Too high, so the risk is too great, and it is not a good choice for them.

After staying in Niuwangzhuang for so long, Mike and Charles also know that Niuwangzhuang is not large in scale. Except for the many Huojing persimmons planted on the back mountain, the number of other fruits is very limited. Being watched to death, it may be difficult for them to find another opportunity.

So the two foreigners began to study the feasibility of building an orchard in this small town. Even if it can't reach the height of Niuwangzhuang, at least build one like Dawan Village. The quality of the crops produced in the village is also good. Been paying attention a long time ago.

It's just that people in the village say that the reason why the crops in their fields grow well is because of the blessing of the Bull King.The two foreigners stood on the hillside and looked at the legendary bull king. They were a little at a loss. They drove the big buffalo to plow the ground with whips yesterday. Is the old man the bull king?

"The ox king still wants to pull the plow?" Isn't there any special treatment for being the ox king?

"Pfft!" Erlang snorted, he was too lazy to talk to these two guys, the king of the mountain was still feeding the monkeys, what happened to the king of cattle pulling the plow?Didn't you see that its nose rings are all sterling silver?Other buffaloes do not have this treatment.
