Chapter 37 Selling Pears 1,
As time comes to the end of September, the pears in the orchard are ripe. Yellow hangs on the branches one by one, and birds come to the orchard every day. Several people at home take turns to the orchard to catch birds every day.
After a few days, Wu Fei was so annoyed by the birds that he couldn't catch them, and he couldn't beat them. When he was fine, he found the slingshot he played with when he was a child. He didn't hit a few birds, but the pears were beaten down and broken a lot.
The road from the old house to the village was finally dug, but it was not hardened for a while. It was covered with gravel and slag to pass through the car.
On that day, everyone agreed to pick all the pears in the orchard at once. It was really because everyone was tired of driving the birds these days.
It was the same carton as last time. Wu Fei bought it in the fruit market in the county. However, pears are much larger than peaches. For similar boxes, one box requires more than 70 peaches, and only 60 pears can be filled with peaches.
One floor has 4 rows, 5 rows, 20 pieces, one can be placed in three layers, and one box has exactly 60 pieces.
I picked all the pears and transported them to the new house in a small cart. I found an empty house to pile them up. The pears are much more resistant to harvesting than peaches, so I don’t rush to wrap them and sell them. After picking them, they can be kept for a long time. As long as the insects and birds are picked out, the unbreakable pears can be stored for more than a week at room temperature and will be refrigerated for longer.
Wu Fei pushed the pear trees to the new house for about 20 times. He felt his arms were sore, so he finally picked all the pears. According to a small cart of 200 kilograms, it was almost 4,000 kilograms.
There is no hurry to choose and package. When eating, everyone discusses how to sell pears well. At this time, there are many people selling pears on the market. Local and foreign countries have them, and the prices range from two or three yuan per pound to ten yuan per pound.
The pears in the orchard were watered many times by Wu Fei with space spring water, and they were all top-notch in terms of appearance and taste. However, it was not so easy to sell at a high price. After all, it was not the same as selling grapes at that time, and there were only a few hundred kilograms in total. There were thousands of kilograms here.
"Dad, I asked Uncle Wen'an a few days ago. This year, the pears they came in from other places are only a little over 4 yuan. No matter how good our pears are, the price should not exceed four yuan per pound. I think we should sell them ourselves. Anyway, they won't break if they are stored for a few days."
"Then sell it yourself. Now your brother has bought a car, so it's convenient to go to the city. But isn't this box too big? There are 60 boxes per box, at least 50 kilograms. If someone wants to buy a whole box, then a box of big boxes will not be able to move even those with less strength."
"That's the case. Why don't I go to the county town tomorrow and buy a smaller box of about 20 kilograms back."
The next day, Wu Fei ran to the county fruit market early in the morning and bought 200 boxes. He went to the market to inquire about the price of pears. As expected, the wholesale price ranged from more than one yuan to about 5 yuan, and the retail price outside ranged from 3 yuan per catty to 10 yuan.
The pears at home taste better than those sold for ten yuan per pound in the market. The price should be no different at that time, but when the price is high, it may sell slowly. After thinking about it, Wu Fei ran back to the market and came to Wu Wen'an's store.
At this time, the business in the store was not busy. The people who came to get the goods early had already taken the goods back, and there were only a few customers who bought the goods in the store.
Uncle Wen'an, are there any small cold storages in the market? The pears at home want to find a cold storage for a while." Wu Fei said to Wu Wen'an who was settled.
"Wu Fei, you're here. Yesterday your dad asked me about pears. There are too many pears now. Now there are no local or local people. Now it's not enough to sell them. It's good to rent a cold storage and sell them for a while. But there's no need to rent them outside. The cold storage I rented in my house is still very large and empty, so you can just put them there. You can store them for as long as you want. Three or four thousand kilograms of pears can't occupy much place."
"Thank you, Uncle Wennan, but you still have to pay the electricity bill." Hearing that the cold storage rented by Wu Wenan's home still has free space, this saves a lot of trouble.
When they got home, the whole family worked together, and even Xiao Duoduo helped bag the pears. One box was placed in 3 rows, 5 rows, 15 pieces, and a total of two floors. One box was 30 pears. Wu Fei weighed several boxes, and each box exceeded 25 kilograms.
I had almost 150 boxes to fill all the pears, and the remaining piles of pears were flawed, either bitten by insects or pecked by birds. When they were piled together, they were at least more than a hundred kilograms.
"What should I do if so many pears are not eaten at once, and they will all be broken after a few days." Seeing so many pears, my mother couldn't help but say with heartache.
"Those dead birds are ruining everything."
In fact, pears that are bitten by insects and birds can also be eaten. When Wu Fei was young, he liked to eat those bitten by insects.
I don’t know who said that the fruits that the insects bite are the best and sweetest. Anyway, Wu Fei believed it at that time, and he always picked the ones that were bitten by the insects.
"These pears were just bitten by insects and birds, and many of them were all sorted out. Look at who has no pear trees in the team, ask them if they want them, and give them some. I can't finish eating that much at home." At this time, my father gave my mother an idea.
"Then I'll feed these fish." Wu Fei said, looking at a small pile of bad pears beside him.
I took a basket and filled it with a full basket.
"Chop the pears a little and then take them to feed them." When Wu Fei pretended not to hear them, he left the yard directly.
"It's fine to eat some of them. Fruits are fed or fruits watered by space spring water. Which fish is so well treated?" Wu Fei thought about the scene of fish grabbing food every time he feeds fish. When the pears are thrown down, he is afraid that they won't come and rush to eat them, so he chops them up and makes them accustomed to it.
Pour a basket of pears into the water, and soon fish came to grab food. Wu Fei never understood that every time he fed, he would never go to eat for more than one minute. A large number of fish would come to grab food. With such a large reservoir, dozens or hundreds of acres, how could those fish markets know to eat here, and gather together in such a short time.
Even if a person is swimming in a reservoir, in a square reservoir of 100 acres, it is almost 250 meters away from the two corners. I have never understood how they can gather so quickly. Could it be that they have built a food grabbing group? Whenever they meet someone who has food, they can gather quickly by pulling an alarm in the group?
