Chapter two hundred and fifty first vegetable vendor
Wu Fei waited at home until Monday night before receiving a message from Xiao Zhiyong. There was finally a certain news about growing vegetables.
Originally, Wu Fei thought Xiao Zhiyong had forgotten this matter, or he was just bragging after drinking, and when he woke up, he chose to lose his memory.
"Wu Fei, don't you think I forgot about you, do you?"
Xiao Zhiyong said on the phone: "Actually, my father came back from another place to transport vegetables in the middle of the night last night. In the morning, he arranged for people to side dishes for places where they needed to deliver vegetables. After finishing his work, he slept until he was about to have supper before he woke up."
"For your business, I ran home immediately after class in the afternoon. I told my dad about you just when I was having dinner."
In fact, it is very hard to do vegetable wholesale business. There are many local dishes that are generally not very profitable and have relatively low profits.
Because local vegetable farmers usually sell their own vegetables to the market to sell them, if the wholesale price is high, you won’t want those vegetables and rice.
Because everyone needs to make money, the wholesale price is high, and the selling price is also high.
But if the same vegetables are higher than those of vegetable farmers, they will not be able to sell them much.
Because the vegetables on the hands of the vegetable vendor need to go through a few more resales, when they reach the hands of the vegetable vendor in the vegetable market, they have already passed at least twice.
It is not as fresh as the vegetables picked by the nearby vegetable farmers from the fields. If the price is more expensive than the ones sold by the vegetable farmers, there will be problems if they can buy them.
Only by selling vegetables with small local output will the profit be higher.
However, for dishes with small local production, it is generally difficult to receive enough dishes locally.
At this time, everyone generally chooses to go to other places to purchase, transport it back and then sell it wholesale it. Local vegetable vendors generally like to sell such dishes.
Because without the impact of local vegetable farmers on low-priced vegetables, the prices of those vegetables can generally be sold higher, so the profit will naturally be much higher.
For example, local vegetable farmers come to sell vegetables. Although everyone usually follows the market, in most cases, they will not sell the vegetables they have worked hard to grow at a low price.
But the reality is that you have one family and my family also have one. Sometimes when you can’t sell it, you can only sell it at a low price.
Because everyone generally grows some common local varieties, and even the seasons of production and market are similar, they naturally cannot sell at a very good price.
In order not to rot in your hands, you can only sell it at a cheap price. The main reason is that the vegetable farmers nearby usually only sell it in the morning, and many of them sell it in the morning.
Usually, when it is 11 or 2 o'clock, I will go back to eat and prepare to go to the field to work. Selling vegetables is not the main business, but farming is the only thing.
Although farming is not profitable at all, it seems very contradictory to say this. But the reality is that even if farming does not make money, people at home still regard farming as their main business.
Just like Wu Fei’s family goes to sell chili peppers, he ate some food early in the morning and rushed to the market.
At the beginning, there were generally not many people buying things at the market. At this time, I would go to the market to find out what the price of chili peppers are sold today.
Then, based on the market conditions of the day, decide the price of your own peppers. If there are too many peppers sold on the market that day, the price will naturally not be able to sell.
In order not to pick up the peppers left, I had to sell them a little cheaper.
In my father's words, "Someone wants three cheaper ones. Anyway, they are all things that grow in the ground. Just sell them a little cheaper."
Fortunately, due to the weather this year, the price of local chili has always been strong. When it is expensive, it can be sold for five or six yuan per catty. Even when it is the cheapest, it is more than three yuan per catty.
If the weather was good in previous years and the yield of peppers was the highest, it would be considered as good as the price.
Of course, the price mentioned here is all about 10 or 20 kilograms at a time. If you buy one or half kilograms at a time, the price will naturally be different. One kilogram is at least more than one yuan, otherwise you will not be too lazy to make up for it.
Because like Wu Fei and others, there are many peppers growing at a time and the yield is large, they can pick three or four hundred kilograms in one go to the market.
These chili peppers usually have to be sold in just a few hours.
So I would rather sell a little cheaper than sell a pound of one or half a pound in pieces, although it would be much more expensive at the price. But when will the price be sold for a few hundred pounds of chili be sold?
Because of the rural market, after 11 or 2 noon, fewer and fewer people gradually became. After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the things that had not been sold out were almost impossible to sell.
Therefore, people usually try to sell as much as possible when the traffic is the highest. As long as you buy more, it doesn’t matter if the price is cheap.
At this time, those vegetable vendors who specialize in selling vegetables will purchase a large amount of peppers at a lower price, then sell them wholesale them, or wait until they are sold within a few days of the market, and earn the difference.
In the past, when Wu Fei had a lot of pepper planting at home, he specially contacted two county-level vegetable vendors who specialize in collecting peppers. Although the price was much cheaper than selling it on the market, it could save a lot of trouble.
Generally, there will be no loss. They will pick the peppers directly in the field and weigh them, and then the vegetable vendor will take them away in a car.
However, in recent years, Wu Fei’s family has not grown many peppers, and usually only grow more than one acre of peppers. Sometimes I can’t get busy and less than one acre of land.
Unlike when Wu Fei was in high school at home, he planted more peppers at that time. In addition to his own land, he also planted several acres of other people's land.
In the most year, there were almost 8 acres of peppers. After all the peppers were collected, when the family counted the number, a total of about 40,000 kilograms of peppers were sold in a year.
This is not a collection of those who do not keep their books in their daily life. For example, people from the village or nearby come to their homes to buy a few or ten pounds at a time, but those who usually do not keep their books in their books.
If you remember all of those, there might be more or less. But after Wu Fei went out to work, he planted less peppers at home, and his main income throughout the year was to breed pepper seedlings and other vegetable seedlings.
But in this way, although the income is reduced by a large part, people will have a lot of relief. You should know that when the yield of peppers is the highest, the family invites people to pick peppers, and at most, they invite more than ten people at one time.
You should know that when the pepper yield is the highest, it is almost the hottest time of the year. At that time, picking peppers is very early in the morning. When the temperature rises, it is not suitable to pick peppers.
The picked peppers are particularly prone to deterioration at this time, and they will rot a lot after one night.
Therefore, it is best to pick peppers when they are cooler in the morning. Even if there is dew on the peppers, they will be quickly dried up after being picked home.
