Chapter 574 574. Fruit tree arrangement
Hang up the phone, Wu Jun stared at the transfer and couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to return it - it was just one pound. He had previously said that he would send two pounds to Professor Song to try, but the other party also only wanted one pound in return...
This is really true. How much free advice did the other party give you when planting?
However, no matter what, it is only one pound. This year he sent out a lot of samples, and some of them were bought back, mostly a pound and a half. The remaining large orders…
It’s okay not to mention it!
He was sitting in the yard, but he was still a little confused.
Do you really want to go back to selling barbecue crayfish?
He couldn’t figure it out, why is there no market for Sichuan peppercorns if they are so good? The wholesale price of 30 per pound is really the bottom line. No one in the 70s or 80s on the market can match his taste!
Let’s open the backend of the online store and take a look - okay, there’s no publicity, no purchase pins, and we can’t sell a single order for a whole month. It’s hard to do online store business now!
But this search top advertising space is too expensive! The conversion rate of new stores will not be ideal either...
I was thinking about this, and I don’t know how long it had passed before I saw my phone light up again—Yuncheng’s phone number, for advertising, right? But after hesitating and remembering that the address Professor Song just gave was Yuncheng, he finally got through.
On the phone, a voice that sounded particularly bold said: "Hello, is this Boss Wu? I, Professor Song, introduced me - how do we sell our peppercorns? Let me get you five kilograms first!"
ah?
Wu Jun was stunned: "I'm... five pounds, right? OK, OK, I'll send it out tomorrow. I'll send it out by air. It'll arrive the day after tomorrow!"
This time, it was Zhang Yanping's turn to be dull - are all business people so generous these days? He didn’t even say the price!
…
And this evening, Zhang Yanping contacted several spice sellers introduced by Professor Song and recorded them one by one. Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the goods!
Everyone chatted at night, but they were more passionate than during the day. For example, Professor Song had already planned the planting of star anise, fragrant leaves, and pepper.
“The octagonal anise grows vigorously. If it grows for a few years, it will not be a problem to reach more than ten meters.”
"Scent leaves are like laurels. They have strong skin and are easy to grow. They are not afraid of the sun or the cold. Planting here is not stressful at all. It just grows slowly. The seedlings in 78 years may not be 70 centimeters... but the leaves are dry when they are dry. Don’t weigh it when it’s dry, just plant a small patch and that’s enough.”
Zhang Yanping looked at the pictures given by Professor Song and couldn't help sighing at this moment: "I would have bought a few trees in the spring. I just ordered spices, and fragrant leaves are the most expensive, costing 100 yuan per pound!"
Fortunately, when paired with the other three to five catties, fragrant leaves only require one catty.
Professor Song was cheerful, there are some things that are separated by lines, like mountains, and it is normal for most people to not think of it.
“There is also cinnamon, which is also commonly used, but it is not difficult to plant, but you need to peel the bark of the tree... I don’t think anyone grows it here, and it doesn’t produce yellow cedar... No one knows this craft, so I suggest you buy it if you need it.”
Song Tan nodded fiercely. She couldn't find anyone now, let alone advanced professionals... save trouble if you can.
Calculating it this way, these spice planting areas really only need a few acres of land to sell...it can be arranged!
Professor Song explained these things in detail and even had pictures. Not only Song Tan and the others were listening, but Qiao Qiao, Seventh Cousin, and Wu Lan and Song Sancheng were all attentive and reluctant to move.
There were many people listening, and Professor Song felt even more recognized. This was different from teaching students, so he became more and more excited:
“I have roughly thought of several types of fruit trees. One is winter dates, the other is apples, and the third is pomegranates—all of which are durable in storage and transportation. But there is one thing that makes the orchard tiring to take care of.”
ah?
The old Song family looked at each other: Are you tired of planting peach trees?
Not to mention, those days of picking peaches were really tiring. As for weeding... Wulan smiled sheepishly: "Our family didn't do much weeding this year, so what? Yanping found a lot of people to come fishing, and the one who caught the least every day was weeding the fields... He fished twice before and after. Three months."
Don't say it, the old men may not be efficient at work, but they are quite serious.
Without stopping for two or three months, the grass in the garden will have no chance to grow, and all the grass roots will be pulled out...
As for fruit thinning…
Song Sancheng's mouth watered when he heard this: "I asked someone to pick it at the time. I didn't do much at home. It was the salt water green peach. It's so delicious!"
“The ones pickled in sugar are more delicious, like the plums in the supermarket, but harder and crisper.”
Speaking of this, everyone's saliva was secreted uncontrollably, and they all wished for another peach.
As for rain protection...the rain this year was pretty good, but their family didn't take care of it!
There’s also bagging... isn’t there a net on top of the head? Although it cost a lot of money, it saves time on bagging, how convenient it is!
Professor Song:…
Why, has his agricultural experience been accumulated in vain?
He silently expressed his luck and reiterated his confidence: "Domestic apples have not been easy to sell in the past two years, but your family..."
He paused and changed his perspective: "Apple trees are resistant to moisture, and some older fruit trees will grow taller. They can be perfectly interplanted with grass fruits by sacrificing a little of their lower branches. I think it is very suitable for your family's situation."
“There are also pomegranates, and there are many varieties. You can learn about them first, and then we can consider planting them—it’s best to plant them in autumn. Let’s get used to the environment this year, and then properly replenish fertilizers and rest in winter. The yield will be good next year.”
“Needless to mention winter dates, right? The price has been very good in the past two years, and I see there are wild date trees on the mountains, and there are pomegranates at the door of many people’s homes. The climate is very adaptable.”
“Okay, okay! Okay, okay, okay!” Song Tan nodded like he was pounding garlic. All of these are delicious! She likes them all!
The question now is…
“Professor Song, do you have these fruit trees?”
Professor Song:…
Although he considered introducing me through channels at first, your question is really very discreet!
He said in a muffled voice: "Yes, but you have to think about the specific size of the saplings you want!"
Song Tan threw away the problem and was very free and easy at the moment: "What are you thinking about! I just want big seedlings that can bear fruit, and the finished tree is also fine!"
For example, the apple tree used for interplanting must not start with a small, squat tree, right?
Professor Song was speechless: "The cost of finished trees is high...not to mention the difficulty of planting, the transportation cost is also high."
"It doesn't matter," Song Tan said confidently: "Wouldn't it be possible to earn back the money if we bear fruit next year?"
And even if this million is not enough, next month, when the pruned tea leaves grow again, the tea leaves and autumn tea in stock can be sold again!
Dongzao pomegranate is my favorite! !
