The next day, Wu Fei slept until he was three o'clock on the sun. I was really tired at home these days, mainly because I had too much effort to get through the mud.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, I felt relaxed and I got up two hours later than usual. I didn't wake up until my grandmother called for dinner.

Oranges also need a cool and ventilated place to prevent them for a period of time before they can be treated with anti-corrosion and freshness.

"Xiaofei, come with me to beat chestnuts later. Your aunt and your grandparents will pick up oranges at home. Those small, bad, and bad looking must be selected. Now there are those who buy oranges in the village and can be sold at a cheaper price."

While having dinner, my uncle said to Wu Fei.

In the past, I would pick some good oranges I picked and put them away and eat them myself, and then I would sell them to vendors who came to collect oranges. Every year when picking oranges, many people always set up some purchases in the village.

A few days ago, a tricycle selling oranges in Wu Fei and his village was sold for ten yuan and six kilograms, but the oranges were not very good. They were big and small, and there were broken ones inside. This is how they were selected.

Wu Fei asked his uncle: "How much can those oranges sold per pound now? Are there many people doing this business now?"

"It can also be sold for 30 cents per pound. The price of oranges this year is similar to last year. The main thing is to look at oranges. The best one is only one or two yuan. For example, these bad oranges that are picked out are only a few cents per pound."

"They took back a few cents per pound here, and made one or two cents per pound and wholesale them. Like the ones sold in the countryside and rural areas now, six or seven pounds, they are like that. Some people also went directly to the village to collect them and sold them to those people. One pound can be sold for about one cent more. But once, they can only pull a tricycle, which is at most seven or eight hundred pounds."

Although the distance between Wu Fei's family and his uncle's family is only half an hour's drive away, it belongs to two cities.

Although the dialects of the two places are the same, the economic crops grown are very different. My uncle and his county planted a lot of oranges a long time ago, and later, after the government's promotion and improvement, they gradually formed a famous citrus production area in the country.

In recent years, oranges have undergone many improvements and introductions, and many new varieties of oranges with high economic value have appeared in my uncle and their place, such as sugar oranges, honey oranges, navel oranges, etc., which have been introduced in recent years.

However, after Wu Fei's uncle cut off the old orange orchard, he did not plant new orange trees.

In Wu Fei and his county, fruit tree planting was also promoted in the early years, but it was not orange trees, but plum trees.

At that time, the plum trees were distributed according to poverty alleviation policies and did not spend much money. However, the government's plum trees were not successful at that time.

After the plums were born, the plums in the mountain could not be sold, and it was troublesome for everyone to pick them back and feed them to pigs. So not long after, the plum trees in the mountain were cut home and burned as firewood.

Although the two places are not far apart, if it is okay, people rarely go around the two places. They usually go to the market in their own towns.

For example, at this time, more than 90% of the oranges in the county fruit market were pulled from my uncle and others. Those who sell oranges generally wholesale oranges in the county fruit market.

But there are also some well-informed people who will go directly to their uncles to pick up oranges and sell them to Wu Fei and the others.

Every time I pull a three-wheeler, I usually sell one car in a day. At the beginning, I usually cost 6 or 7 kilograms. After I sell it, I can sell it for ten yuan and ten kilograms.

Wu Fei always thought that ten yuan and ten kilograms should be a loss-making business. Today, he realized that the sentence that only the wrong ones are bought and not sold is not wrong at all.

Those dealers sold the oranges for up to four or five cents per pound. When they first sold them, they had to sell one pound of six or seven yuan, and they could make more than one yuan per pound.

Even if you sell it to the end, you can make twice as much money as ten yuan. If you sell a tricycle a day, you can always make a profit of six or seven hundred yuan. And how much oil can a tricycle burn in a day? Fifty or sixty yuan is enough to burn.

No wonder many small businesses make money and buy houses in county towns or cities. Speaking of which, in addition to digging food in the fields, working in factories is also the most promising job.

In today's society, the monthly salary of three to five thousand yuan in factories is beyond the expenses outside, how much money can there be left?

If you still smoke or drink, it would be good to have half of the salary of four or five thousand yuan per month. What can you do with that money? The little money you earn throughout the year can't be bought in a big city with a large toilet.

The farmers who dig food in the fields are the hardest and most tiring. They are busy all year round and can't make much money in the end. If the weather is good for a year, it's okay, but if there is a flood disaster, the harvest will be gone in the blink of an eye. They also have to pay for pesticides, fertilizers and seeds. As for the daily labor, it will only be a waste of money.

Even if the weather is good, a single acre of orange orchard like my uncle and others can pick up at most six thousand kilograms of oranges.

However, the weather this year is not good. There was too much rain in the first half of the year. Oranges were greatly affected when pollinated and many flowers fell off.

There were continuous droughts in the second half of the year, which caused the oranges not to fully grow and needed to pump water from the rivers and reservoirs to resist drought, which increased a lot of costs. Most of the oranges without pumping irrigation were smaller than those in previous years.

However, the oranges in Uncle Wu Fei’s house need to be taken care of in small places, so they were not affected by the drought weather, and few of them reduced their yields.

But even so, I picked all the oranges yesterday and it was more than 1,000 kilograms less than the most years, and it looked like a total of only 4,600 kilograms.

Moreover, there are more small and deformed oranges inside than in previous years. Among them, the 4,600 kilograms of oranges may need to be selected, which can be almost 1,000 kilograms.

And this thousand pound of orange can only be sold at a cheap price, and it can be sold for three or four hundred yuan. As for some people, why don’t you take it to another village to sell it yourself, it can only be said to be taken for granted.

Those who drive tricycles to sell fruits, others travel in the countryside for at least 300 days a year. Others know exactly where there are more people and where there are roads and where things are not easy to sell.

You, a farmer who farms at home, suddenly go to the village to sell oranges one day. Everyone has oranges nearby, but when you go far, you are not familiar with the situation. It may be good to transfer to three or five villages a day, but it will be a different story.
