Chapter 476: Pocket Little Watermelon
"Well, I'll just say you'll like it!" Yu Mei said triumphantly, this delicious mushroom soup, even if outsiders want to drink it, they can't drink it, because only this kind of mushroom is found in the village.
"Such a delicious mushroom soup, if it can be sold outside......" Before Zhao Baliang's words were finished, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, don't mention it." The shelf life of this mushroom is very short, only more than ten hours. After this time, the soup made is not only not delicious, but also poisonous!"
"Huh?" Zhao Baliang was startled, it was so serious. It seems that it is not easy to get this delicacy to the big city!
Seeing the surprised expression on Zhao Baliang's face, Yu Dongqing said: "It would be nice if we could build a road from the village to Dongcheng, so that at least the mushrooms can be sold to the big hotel in Dongcheng." Actually, we have contacted several big hotels before, and they are willing to buy them, but they can't get there......" Yu Dongqing shook his head as he said.
There's nothing more uncomfortable than guarding something that makes money, but not being able to sell it because of the road.
"Build a road...... "Zhao Baliang muttered quietly, recalling the scene of driving all the way, building a cement road to Dongcheng City, at least tens of millions of funds, difficult!
Although Zhao Baliang has a lot of assets, he does not have enough funds in his hands. Therefore, Zhao Baliang did not say that he wanted to help build the road. When his career slowly stabilized, he didn't mind helping the villagers in Yujia Village build a road.
After eating, Yu Dongqing took out several watermelons and said to Zhao Baliang and Feng Lele: "Come, try our local specialty watermelon, don't look at this watermelon, it's sweet!" Yu Dongqing said, and raised a watermelon about the size of a fist in his hand!
Seeing that kind of pocket watermelon, Zhao Baliang and Feng Lele couldn't help but be interested, especially Feng Lele, who ran over curiously and asked with interest: "Uncle Yu, is this really a watermelon? Why is it so small!"
Yu Dongqing smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "No way, the land in the village is barren, so the watermelons can't grow big." However, don't look at this watermelon as small, but it's sweet. We sent it to the town to sell, and a watermelon would sell for more than a piece!"
Summer is the season to eat watermelon, this kind of fist-sized watermelon, in a small town in the countryside, can be sold for more than a dollar, if you get to the big city, at least five yuan a piece. It's just that because the road is not good, the cost of transporting it all the way is not low.
As the knife in Yu Dongqing's hand cut the watermelon, Zhao Baliang immediately smelled a unique fragrance of watermelon, with a hint of sweetness. Although he hasn't eaten it yet, Zhao Baliang is sure that this watermelon is particularly delicious.
Because the watermelon is small enough, you don't need to deliberately cut a few more knives, cut it from the middle, half of each person, hold a small spoon, and scoop it to eat.
"Wow, it's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious watermelon. Feng Lele said excitedly while eating. Although Zhao Baliang didn't shout excitedly, from the way he ate, he could tell that this watermelon was really delicious.
Of course, if you can chill it, it will be even better. Although Yu Dongqing has been soaked in cool well water, how can the cool well water compare to the refrigerator?
"Uncle Yu, how is the yield of your watermelon?" Zhao Baliang asked as he ate.
"One acre of land is less than 3,000 catties. Yu Dongqing said with some loss. There is no way, the land in the village is barren, and his family's yield per mu can be so much, or because he is diligent enough. Otherwise, it will only be lower.
Nodding, Zhao Baliang naturally knew that the average large-scale watermelon planting base has a yield of 7,000 to 10,000 catties per mu, and even in smaller places, it is almost 5,000 catties. And Yu Dongqing's is only 3,000 catties, which is indeed much less than others.
"But my yield per mu is already okay. If you grow food, you won't be able to make so much money. Yu Dongqing smiled innocently and said, "After a while, when a large number of watermelons are ripe, I will hire a car and transport them all to the town." ”
"Uncle Yu, can you sell me all these watermelons?" Zhao Baliang looked at Yu Dongqing and asked.
Looking at Zhao Baliang suspiciously, Yu Dongqing asked: "Baliang, if you want to eat, when you leave, you can load it vigorously until your car is full." ”
Hurriedly waving his hand, Zhao Baliang said: "Uncle Yu, I didn't mean that, I mean, I want to buy these watermelons of yours." ”
"What?" Yu Dongqing looked at Zhao Baliang and asked puzzledly, "What are you buying this watermelon for?"
"Of course, it's selling at a high price. Zhao Baliang said excitedly: "Uncle Yu, you believe me, I promise, your watermelon will definitely be sold at a high price." "Zhao Baliang didn't dare to say that there was absolutely no problem with selling it for five yuan a catty.
Yu Dongqing's watermelon, one is about one catty, that is to say, a watermelon can be sold for five yuan, which is much more cost-effective than when he goes to the town and a watermelon is a dollar.
"This ......" Hearing Zhao Baliang's words, Yu Dongqing hesitated. He didn't know whether Zhao Baliang's so-called high price could sell the watermelon at a high price, or whether Zhao Baliang would close it at a high price and then sell it at a low price.
If it was the latter, Yu Dongqing would never be able to agree.
"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I have my own sales channels, and I can sell these watermelons of yours at a very high price. Zhao Baliang saw Yu Dongqing's concerns, and hurriedly spoke.
Yu Dongqing still couldn't believe it, could he still sell it for a higher price than a dollar......? It's impossible.
"Eight taels, it's not that my uncle doesn't believe you, it's really ...... My watermelon has agreed to sell it to the buyer in the town. Yu Dongqing said with some embarrassment. The reason why he was reluctant to sell to Zhao Baliang was that he was worried that Zhao Baliang would not be able to sell it. In that case, wouldn't it all be smashed in Zhao Baliang's hands.
"Uncle Yu, haven't you sold it yet, in this way, I will charge it according to five yuan, okay?" Zhao Baliang directly offered the price of five yuan.
Hearing the price of five yuan, Yu Dongqing was startled. Originally, Yu Dongqing thought that the high price Zhao Baliang said was two or three yuan, but he didn't expect it to be five yuan. In this season, ordinary watermelons are a few cents a pound, and although his watermelons are delicious, they can't be sold for five dollars a pound.
"No, no. Yu Dongqing waved his hand again and again and said, "Eight taels, if you like to eat, my uncle will give it to you for free." Five dollars a piece, this ...... This is absolutely not good, there is no such thing!"
Hearing Yu Dongqing's insistence, Zhao Baliang was speechless, he wanted to buy something at a high price, why was it so difficult?
"Batael, I received it from my father for your kindness, but it's really unnecessary. Yu Mei also felt that Zhao Baliang pitied them, so she was willing to buy them at such a high price.
"Meimei, you misunderstood, I really don't pity you. Zhao Baliang hurriedly explained, but when he said this, he seemed so pale and weak. On the contrary, it is a bit of a meaning that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
Zhao Baliang found that it was useless to explain it, so he simply had a showdown, "Actually, I know the boss of the Imperial City Club. Before, he asked me to help him buy some fruits at a high price, and I saw that your watermelon was good, so I thought about taking it back at a high price. You say, can the owner of the Imperial City Club be short of money? Five yuan a piece, for them, it is not a problem at all!"
"Imperial City Club?" Yu Dongqing and Yu Mei said at the same time.
Yu Dongqing didn't know about the Imperial City Club, but Yu Mei did. Although she has only been studying in the provincial capital for less than a month, Yu Mei has already heard of the name of the Imperial City Club. If these watermelons are really sold to the Imperial City Club, five yuan a piece, it is really not a high price.
"What you said is true?" Yu Mei looked at Zhao Baliang and said with some disbelieving.
"Of course it's true. Zhao Baliang said as he thought about what to prove. Suddenly, Zhao Baliang remembered that there was a photo of himself and Huang Song in his mobile phone, so he hurriedly opened his mobile phone and found the photo, "Look, this is a photo of me and Mr. Huang, so you should believe it, right?"
Huang Song is a man of the year in the provincial capital, and he is also a representative of young and golden. Although Yu Mei didn't have any thoughts about Huang Song, she couldn't stand the other people in the dormitory talking all day long, so Yu Mei had also seen Huang Song's photos.
Seeing Zhao Baliang talking and laughing and standing with Huang Song, Yu Mei still didn't believe it!
"Do you really know Mr. Huang?" Yu Mei grabbed Zhao Baliang's arm excitedly, but realizing that Feng Lele and Yu Dongqing were on the side, she hurriedly let go.
Nodding, Zhao Baliang said, "Is this still fake?"
After getting Zhao Baliang's exact reply, Yu Mei hurriedly turned around and said to Yu Dongqing: "Dad, why don't you just sell it to Baliang, he sold it to the Imperial City Club, not to mention five yuan a piece, even ten yuan a piece, it's nothing." I've heard that the kind of high-priced apples bought in the Imperial City Club are thirty yuan each!"
"What? Thirty yuan for an apple?" Yu Dongqing obviously didn't believe it, what kind of apple was this, it could be sold for thirty yuan a piece.
"Oh, Dad, we don't understand the world of rich people. Thirty yuan is not a small amount for us, but for others, it is not worth mentioning at all. Yu Mei hurriedly said: "Anyway, it's all rich people's money, and if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain." ”
"This ......" Yu Dongqing naturally wanted to sell it for five yuan a piece, but ...... He still felt a little unreal, why could this watermelon be sold for such a high price? And what does the apple look like for 30 yuan a piece?
"Uncle Yu, you can sell it to me, I am also entrusted by others. Zhao Baliang deliberately said in this tone, in this way, it became Zhao Baliang begging Yu Dongqing to sell him the watermelon!
Nodding, Yu Dongqing said, "Okay, but ...... My family's melon plot is only more than three acres, is it enough? If it is not enough, I can contact other villagers who grow watermelons, and there are quite a few!"
"Okay, I want it. Anyway, when the time comes, I will buy from you, Uncle Yu. Zhao Baliang said this because he wanted Yu Dongqing to make a little difference. However, Yu Dongqing obviously didn't have this idea, and when he heard Zhao Baliang's words, Yu Dongqing said excitedly: "Okay, I'll go and inform the big guy now, don't sell it cheaply, this watermelon can be sold for five yuan a piece!"
Hearing Yu Dongqing's words, Zhao Baliang and Yu Mei were speechless for a while. The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but laugh again!
