Chapter five hundred and seventy-six increasingly cheap vegetable prices
After dinner, the family settled the accounts every day. Today, the total number of vegetables, fruits and melons was sold. Each transaction costs more than 1,000 yuan, and at least 6 or 700 yuan. These are sold to those who set up stalls to purchase goods, which totals 30,000 yuan.
The vendors who come to buy goods these days have almost stabilized, and the vegetables they sell every day are stable at around 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Today, Ma Yanwen pulled another 8,000 kilograms of chili peppers and 2,000 kilograms of eggplant. Since early June, Ma Yanwen stopped all other dishes and specialized in the business of chili and eggplant.
Not only do they take regular goods from Wu Fei, but they also start purchasing peppers and eggplant on the market every day. Of course, Ma Yanwen doesn’t have time to come to Wu Fei to pick up goods from himself. He collects them in the county store every day, responsible for handling the collected peppers and eggplant.
During this period, the prices of peppers and eggplant have dropped significantly, with the retail price only selling for more than three yuan per pound. The wholesale price of Wu Fei here has dropped from more than three yuan per pound at the beginning to two yuan per pound now.
However, when it was two yuan per pound, Wu Fei had no intention of lowering it down.
Wu Fei has been growing chili peppers at home for more than 20 years. Anyway, since Wu Fei has been remembering, he has grown a lot of chili peppers at home every year.
Wu Fei remembered the most that the year Wu Fei planted peppers at home. In addition to planting all his own fields, he also picked up a lot of peppers at other people's homes to plant peppers.
Although Wu Fei has not been at home in recent years, he has to plant several acres of peppers at home every year. From June to September every year, the highest pepper yield is the time.
Usually when Wu Fei calls home, his mother always talks about selling peppers to Wu Fei. Today, the price of peppers has risen a few cents or fallen a few cents.
Anyway, Wu Fei is not unfamiliar with the retail price of peppers at home in recent years, so after Wu Fei lowered the wholesale price of peppers to two yuan per pound, no matter what those who purchased the goods said, he insisted on not reducing the price.
Although some people have reduced the amount of goods purchased, Wu Fei is not in a hurry at all and arranges a wave of people to go to the field to pick peppers every day.
Wu Fei planted a total of about 70 acres of chili peppers. Since the mass production of peppers, Wu Fei arranged for people to pick chili peppers tomorrow.
The 70 acres of pepper field was divided into 7 parts by Wu Fei. He sent someone to pick some of them every day, and it took exactly one week to finish the round.
After a week, the pepper seedlings that were picked last time, and the peppers that were not yet mature on the last time can be picked.
Of course, there are also peppers that were almost old last time, but they were not picked in time. When they were picked for a week, they had turned into red peppers.
After June, the peppers in the field officially entered a high-yield period. Every day, Wu Fei picked seven or eight thousand kilograms of peppers.
There are a lot of red peppers here, which are sometimes one or two hundred kilograms short, and sometimes they can pick them back for five or six hundred kilograms in the most.
Although the price of red peppers is much more expensive than that of green peppers, when the wholesale price of green peppers is 2 yuan per pound, the wholesale price of red peppers can be sold at least 3 yuan per pound.
However, keeping red peppers is not a cost-effective thing. In addition to the fact that it takes a lot of time, staying on the tree after getting old will also affect the growth of peppers. The most important thing is that it will affect the blossom of the pepper tree, thereby reducing the yield of peppers.
Xiao Jinsong and another new wholesaler are still the same as before. As long as Wu Fei has vegetables, they will have a portion of each.
However, Xiao Jinsong did not come to pick up the goods today. Instead, another new boss, Li Baosan, pulled back a truckload of goods and contributed 13,000 yuan to Wu Fei.
These are the ones that earn more money in a single transaction in a day, and they were added soon, with a total income of 63,000 yuan.
The others were all earned in pieces, including vegetables and newly sold watermelons, which cost more than 6,000 yuan.
All together, 70,000 yuan is not much different.
Today, except for those who came to buy groceries, there were no large batches of watermelons sold.
Of course, many of those who sell vegetables come to buy goods and casually inquire about the watermelon market. However, after hearing the price quoted by Wu Fei, they all gave up one by one and never mentioned the watermelon issue again.
Now more than 80% of the peppers in the field have been bought by Ma Yanwen, Xiao Jinsong, Li Baosan, and dozens of other vegetable vendors can consume the remaining 20%.
However, after Wu Fei reduced the peppers to two yuan per pound, Wu Fei would choose the best quality part to collect the peppers he picked every day into the farm. Every day, Wu Fei would also collect hundreds to one thousand kilograms of peppers from the farm.
Before he knew it, Wu Fei had collected tens of thousands of kilograms of peppers, thousands of kilograms of eggplant, as well as cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, and... Anyway, as long as there are things that are planted in the field, Wu Fei chose the best quality ones to collect them into the farm.
Of course, it is not a lot every time. At most, 10% of the picked one day is collected into the farm. However, over time, there is a lot of things collected into the farm.
Fortunately, the farm warehouse is infinitely large. No matter how much things are put in, I always feel that the open space in the warehouse has not changed at all.
Of course, the daily income is not low, but the expenses are also increasing day by day, and the cost of picking peppers is the largest.
Wu Bang probably has to do statistics. If a person picks it carefully, he can pick about 40 kilograms of peppers in an hour.
People who pick peppers all count the time, and an hour costs 15 yuan. In this way, the cost of picking a pound of peppers is almost 40 cents.
Most of the people who pick peppers are older, most of whom are fifty years old, and few of them are thirty or forty years old.
So it would be good to have an average of 40 kilograms per hour. Wu Fei had thought about it and calculated the wages based on the weight of everyone picking peppers, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
When picking peppers, you should not just pick them off casually. When picking, you should also carefully distinguish the age and tenderness of the peppers. Although some peppers seem to have grown up, they do not have elders.
These tender chili peppers are not suitable for picking. Because the meat of the chili peppers at this time does not grow thicker, and the pepper seeds inside do not grow full. Although they look quite small, they are not weighed at all.
In addition to distinguishing the old and tenderness of the peppers, you should also be careful not to leak the old peppers. If you wait for a week before picking them, the peppers will turn into red peppers.
