The fire of the wood-fired stove was strong, so Zhou Maozhu peeled and cut the radish and found a plate to put it on. There was only a "sting" sound from the other end, the lard was burning hot, and then the cabbage was put into the pot.
Li Lanhua sniffed: "Oh, no wonder Song Tan's vegetables are so expensive. When you smell the cabbage, it smells so fragrant!"
"Yes!" Zhou Maozhu also smelled it. He was rummaging through the cabinets to find toothpicks. At the same time, he boasted: "These radishes are also tender. Don't sell them all later. I will try two of them."
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but feel happy. I whispered to my wife in the kitchen: "Just from the smell, I think it can be sold for three yuan!"
But what they didn’t know was that Song Tan’s price was 5 yuan, and Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, was purely to prevent everyone’s psychological expectations from being too high.
Now Lao Zhao looked at the plate in front of him and quickly greeted everyone: "Come, let's try it together and see if this is worth the high price?"
Everyone was not polite and extended their hands one after another.
This morning, sitting in the cold yard eating the same cold radish, it didn't feel good.
However, this radish has high water content and is sweet and crisp in the mouth. Only when you swallow it does it bring out a hint of spiciness that is unique to radish... Even though it is ice cold, it does not hide its good taste.
Such a product, it’s really worth the five yuan!
Only Lao Zhu and others smacked their lips and said critically: "It's still better than what we ate yesterday."
Xiao Du also nodded in agreement: "But it tastes slightly better than what we eat on the mountain. There are only a few times on the mountain, and the taste will be particularly good."
After all, they are fruits and vegetables. There are sour and sweet ones on the same tree, not to mention radishes in the ground.
You know, this alone is particularly rare. As long as the packaging slogan is put out, the pound of radish can be doubled several times.
Zhou Maozhu didn’t know if they were also buyers. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but feel anxious. He thought that three yuan was not enough. Two yuan, two yuan, five yuan, right?
Looking at everyone eating radishes with a clicking sound, he couldn't help but feel salivating. He was about to reach out to pick up a piece and taste it, but he saw that the plate in front of him was empty.
Song Tan dropped the toothpick and asked Lao Zhao neatly:
“The radish is five yuan and a pound, do you want to take it?”
This is 50 cents more expensive than originally planned, but Lao Zhao thinks it's worth it. Who would sell this thing as a vegetable?
After taking it back and setting a price of 12.8 yuan to sell it as fruit radishes, there is no pressure at all.
After all, Song Tan’s items are priced in the early stage, and there will be no restrictions in the later stage. Otherwise, he won’t be able to earn so much money!
"Okay!" He nodded simply, and then looked at Zhou Maozhu: "I don't want your own varieties, I want these transplanted from Song Tan's family, 5.5 pounds per pound, wash them clean and dry them."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Let the radish leaves dry to dry out the dew, and pick out the old leaves with yellow leaves that are inedible. I'll take the rest for two yuan a pound."
For God's sake, are there still radish leaves? !
Zhou Maozhu was stunned with surprise: "Is this really the price?"
Old Zhao Xin said that Song Tan had brought him here specially. How could he still not know whether this thing was worth it?
However, he has also been a vegetable seller for many years and knows the impact of this price on farmers, so he nodded patiently:
"Yes, I will collect the ones from your house today. When they are sold out in two days, I will go to other people's houses in the village to collect them."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Please don't tell anyone about this price, otherwise I'm afraid someone will fake it. If my customers buy fake ones, we won't be able to do business in the future."
“I understand, I understand!” Zhou Maozhu nodded repeatedly, then stood up and took two steps at a loss, and asked excitedly:
"Then... you guys sit down first, and I'll go pull the radishes first?" "Go, go!" Party Secretary Xiao Zhu quickly urged him: "We're just here to join in the fun, don't worry about it, just go and do your business!"
Party secretary Xiaozhu explained: "The most powerful plant in our village is Songtan, and she has selected these varieties. In autumn, the villagers only need to go to the fields to help work for two days, and they can get a bunch of radishes." Seedlings of cabbage.”
“We agreed at the time that these could be sold at a high price, so we all planted them... This family should be able to harvest one or two thousand catties of radishes, and about the same amount of cabbage.”
Lao Zhou quickly made an inventory in his mind.
Calculating 1,500 kilograms of radish, the unit price of 5.5 is more than 8,000, and the leaves are two yuan per kilogram—
“How many kilograms of leaves does a radish produce?”
radish leaves are still quite good when they are old.
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, was not so careful about this yet, so he could only look at Song Tan.
Song Tan thought for a while: "Look at the size of the radish. For example, the largest radish we just picked up weighs more than 6 pounds. After picking out the leaves, it should weigh about two or three pounds."
His!
These people who came here are not ignorant of people's livelihood. They can figure out the price by just calculating in their minds -
In other words, just from radishes, you can earn close to 10,000 yuan!
For the farmers in the village, it is indeed a huge income!
The next moment, Li Lanhua, who knew nothing, came out of the kitchen with a plate and a pair of chopsticks in her hand:
“I thought you wanted to taste it, so I fried it with lard and didn’t add any other seasonings except salt..."
She thought for a while and then asked carefully: "How about I use water to make another cabbage soup?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Lao Zhao was very confident in the cabbage after eating the radish. Now he waved his hand, picked up the chopsticks first and started eating.
“Well…”
He chewed slowly, and the sweetness, crispness and tenderness of the cabbage became more and more obvious due to the hot oil. There was still rich juice in the chopped cabbage stems.
This is not the unpleasant grassy smell of green vegetables, but it has a unique style.
Everyone stretched out their chopsticks to taste it without any politeness, and nodded along with them: "It tastes so good!"
Li Lanhua looked at everyone expectantly, and Lao Zhao gave the answer directly: "The cabbage is 5 yuan a pound. You need to break off the old leaves that look really ugly before weighing them."
Li Lanhua:…! !
“Okay, okay!” She agreed!
What is the price of cabbage at 5 yuan per pound? The cabbage in their town is almost 25 cents! Not to mention just breaking off some old leaves normally, even if the leaves don't require poles, isn't it still free money?
She looked around the yard and couldn't help but murmured: "Where did this man go?" It was such a big business, why wasn't Zhou Maozhu here?
Song Tan laughed and pointed outside the yard:
“Auntie, you’d better help Uncle Zhou pull out the radishes first. Radishes are 5 cents more expensive than cabbage.”
She stood up and greeted everyone: "Let's go, let's go back. It's too cold. Let's go back and warm ourselves by the fire. Teacher Tang said that we will make rock sugar oranges today."
Update 2, more.
I am the kind of person who can’t pick up the leftovers in the doghouse. I obviously should save the manuscript, but I still write and publish one chapter.
In the book, it is now the 7th, and in the book on the 10th, Laba kills the pig.
