Chapter 495 Kiwi fruit wine (at least 730.01 million) please vote for me
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu is getting older after all. After coming up from the mountain and walking around in the orchard, he felt a little tired.
Cao Shujie saw that his grandfather's face was not very good. After asking his grandfather, he accompanied him down the mountain.
After returning home, he asked his grandfather to sit down and rest for a while. Cao Shujie made a cup of tea for his grandfather. After seeing that his grandfather's face returned to normal, he felt relieved.
"Grandpa, want to eat a kiwi fruit?" Cao Shujie took a kiwi fruit from the table and peeled off the skin. The flesh was a bit like chicken fat in color.
"Grandpa, eat it quickly." Cao Shujie handed it over.
Cao Zhenghu was not polite. He took a bite of the kiwi fruit and chewed it whole. He ate a third of it in an instant: "Shujie, the kiwi fruit you grew is indeed very sweet and a little sour, so it tastes better."
"Grandpa, you just said it, our kiwi fruit has also been improved, but I continue to do experiments in the west part of the orchard and prepare to improve new varieties." Cao Shujie told his grandfather.
Nowadays, there are too many improved varieties of fruits. If you still follow the same old tradition, you will not be able to gain an advantage in the market. At this time, you must continue to innovate and cultivate new varieties.
"Shujie, I don't understand this either. Just watch and figure it out." After Cao Zhenghu finished eating the kiwi, he took two pieces of tissue paper from the table to wipe his hands.
Despite his age, he is very particular.
"Grandpa, when we wait for the National Day holiday, we will fly to Xinjiang for a few days. Then my uncle, eldest brother and second brother will also go together." Cao Shujie greeted his grandfather in advance.
Cao Zhenghu nodded and asked one thing: "Shujie, you didn't ask your sister if she was going? She hasn't come back during the summer vacation. It would be great if we let her go with us during the National Day holiday."
"It's just a good time for our whole family to get together."
Cao Shujie felt a little ashamed, he was not as thoughtful as his grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'll call her later and ask her."
…
The last time Cao Shujie went to Cao Jianlong alone to mention that there was a serious issue of ownership of interests in the village's land, Cao Jianlong did not deal with Cao Shujie. He really did this seriously.
He also knew that Cao Shujie's concerns were not unfounded or exaggerated.
If the delay continues and someone suddenly jumps out to argue about the ownership of the land when the kiwis are being sold, then there will most likely be more serious consequences.
In the past, the issue of land ownership was a bit confusing. The reason why it did not cause greater consequences was largely because growing corn and wheat was not profitable. You could only earn a few hundred yuan in one season with all your hard work.
For people working outside, this amount is not enough for one month's salary, so no one comes back to argue about such a thankless matter.
But it's different now.
Many people plant kiwi fruit in their fields. According to the data Cao Shujie told them, the average yield of this variety of kiwi fruit per mu is about 4,000 kilograms. The normal market price can easily be sold for seven or eight yuan per kilogram.
loose.
According to this figure, the average output value of kiwi fruit for one acre of land is about 28,000 yuan, or 30,000 yuan. This is not a small amount. For a four-acre field, the output value is more than 100,000 yuan.
Even if all the initial investments are removed, the profit from 4 acres of land can be tens of thousands of yuan.
In the countryside, this number is enough to cause some uncontrollable situations.
Based on this most serious consequence, after careful and thorough investigation, many problems were indeed discovered.
When dealing with problems, Cao Jianlong would deal with matters in a business-like manner, no matter who came to plead for mercy. He would call the other party who was confused and explain the problem clearly, and then both parties would deal with it face to face.
Either the two parties sign a lease agreement, or the land is returned to the original owner, who will pay a certain amount of compensation based on reasonable circumstances.
Because of this incident, Cao Jianlong was scolded in Caojiazhuang, but he didn't care about the attitude of a small group of people, and even dealt with the matter very forcefully.
He also told those people who are very unconventional in a tough manner that if they want to grow fruit trees and make money, they should not mess up.
After handling this matter, Cao Jianlong went to Cao Shujie specifically. The two of them drank kiwi fruit wine brewed by Fan Hailiang. Cao Jianlong told him what happened during this period.
"Some people have obviously received great benefits, but they are still greedy. If you ask me, such people are not worthy of staying in Caojiazhuang. Get out of here as far away as possible." Cao Jianlong said through gritted teeth.
At this time, he deeply realized a sentence: "Human greed has no bottom line."
"Uncle Long, you are great!" Cao Shujie said.
This was the first time that he sincerely recognized what Cao Jianlong had done.
Cao Jianlong was a little embarrassed. He waved his hands and said: "It's not a big deal. The main reason is that some people go too far. Shujie, you have a soft temper and can't harden your heart. I'm over 50 years old.
It doesn’t matter what happens.”
"For people like them, sometimes you really have to harden your heart and cut them off when necessary." Cao Jianlong reminded him.
His words can be regarded as talking about one of Cao Shujie's weaknesses.
Even though Cao Shujie is quite domineering outside, he still can't be cruel to some fellow villagers in Caojiazhuang.
Some people just don't know how to advance or retreat. Cao Jianlong realized at that time that he was more suitable to do this than Cao Shujie.
"Uncle Long, let me offer you another drink." Cao Shujie held the fruit wine and toasted to Cao Jianlong.
Cao Jianlong also picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked glasses with Cao Shujie, and they both drank.
This kiwi fruit wine has alcohol content, but the alcohol content is not high. It mainly has a sweet and sour taste, just like drinking a drink with alcohol content, which makes people addicted.
After Cao Jianlong finished a drink, he licked his lips and asked Cao Shujie: "Shujie, where did you get this? It's quite delicious."
"Uncle Long, this is fruit wine made from the remaining kiwi fruits in my orchard on the mountain. This time it is mainly in the experimental stage and not a lot has been made. If you like it, I will get you two bottles to take back later."
"Then I'll take it shamelessly." Cao Jianlong happily agreed.
He said, "I'll take it back and give it to your aunt to have a taste. This is really good stuff."
When Cao Shujie heard what he said, he smiled and said: "When the apples in my orchard are ripe, I will make more apple cider vinegar and leave some for you."
After watching Cao Shujie fill him up with wine again, Cao Jianlong took the wine glass and put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully. There was a sweet and sour smell, which was very tempting.
"Uncle Long, you may not think this is fruit wine, but it perfectly retains the original nutrients of kiwi fruit. Drinking it twice at ordinary times is also very beneficial to your health." Cao Shujie told him another benefit.
After hearing this, Cao Jianlong frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Shujie, how long is the shelf life of your fruit wine?"
"After brewing, if you seal it and leave it unmoved, it won't be a problem for three or four years," Cao Shujie said.
This time is not short.
Regarding this issue, Cao Shujie also asked Fan Hailiang carefully. He was afraid that the 100 kilograms of kiwi fruit wine he brewed could not be stored. He originally wanted to drink it during the holidays, or when his close relatives and friends came to play at home.
drink.
If you can't save it, all your hard work will be in vain.
Fortunately, according to Fan Hailiang, there is no need to worry about this aspect at all.
When Cao Jianlong heard what Cao Shujie said, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He twisted the wine glass in his right hand and looked at the liquid in the transparent glass. After a while, he said: "Shujie, you said that after the kiwi fruit in our village matures, if we don't sell it, how about turning the kiwi fruit into fruit wine? Will there be any profit?
higher?"
This was the thought that flashed through Cao Jianlong's mind.
He wasn't sure if this idea would work, but everything was negotiable.
Cao Shujie pondered for a while before saying: "Uncle Long, I can't say it's not possible, but the problem is that the wine yield of fruits is very low. For example, in my batch of kiwi fruit wine, the quality of kiwi fruit is considered good, and the wine yield is only about 20%.
How much do you think this wine must sell per pound to make back the capital?"
"And the sales of fruit wine are not necessarily good."
"When you go to the market or supermarket, have you ever seen people selling fruit wine in large quantities?"
Cao Jianlong was immediately asked.
He understood that what Cao Shujie said was right.
"I originally thought I could find a good way, but it seems I thought too much." Cao Jianlong sighed, a little disappointed.
When Cao Jianlong left, Cao Shujie brought him two bottles of kiwi fruit wine to take with him.
This wine was specially bought by Cao Shujie in a batch of bottles used to hold wine. The mouths of the bottles were sealed with corks, which can effectively prevent the contact between the wine and the air, thereby preventing bacteria from flowing into the wine and causing reactions, affecting the taste and taste.
Shelf life.
When Cao Jianlong saw these two bottles of wine, he also said: "If we can get better packaging, this wine looks really high-end."
This sentence reminded Cao Shujie.
I have to say that to sell products these days, you must first have a good-looking packaging, and secondly, have a gimmick that makes sense.
If others hear that this stuff is good for the body, they won't feel so bad about spending money.
"Forget it, let's do the things in front of us first and take it step by step." Cao Shujie thought that the workshop would be renovated and upgraded soon, and the equipment would be shipped soon, so he didn't hesitate anymore.
He took the time to call his sister and tell her about going to Xinjiang during the National Day holiday. His sister Cao Huifang heard that she was going to Xinjiang and agreed at that time.
According to his sister's idea, he went there to experience the customs and customs of Xinjiang.
"Brother, are you sure you are leaving on October 1st? Are you going by car or how?" Cao Huifang asked him.
Cao Shujie said: "Take a plane."
"Okay, I haven't flown on a plane yet." Cao Huifang was looking forward to flying.
"Send me your ID card information and I will buy a ticket in advance." Cao Shujie finally said to his sister.
Cao Huifang was also very happy. It didn't take long to take a photo of her ID card and send it to her using her QQ account.
Then Cao Shujie went to his uncle, his eldest brother, his second brother, and other members of his family to ask for their ID information and told them about buying air tickets in advance.
At the same time, Cao Shujie did not forget to call Adilijiang and told him that he would take a large family to Xinjiang Changji during the National Day.
"Adilijiang, let's talk about Apple again after I get there," Cao Shujie said to him.
"Mr. Cao, I welcome your arrival. Give me a call when you arrive. If you have any needs, just tell me directly." Adilijiang was very enthusiastic.
When the six of them went to Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie's atmosphere was unforgettable to them, and it also made them truly recognize Cao Shujie as their friend.
