Chapter 9 Selling Grapes
It gets light before 6 o'clock in August, and Wu Fei, who goes to bed very early at night, wakes up around 5 o'clock. As soon as Wu Fei wakes up, he enters the space and takes a look inside. The seeds he made yesterday have grown.
Especially the earliest watermelons and cabbages have grown very deep, as if they had grown normally for a month.
The seeds sown yesterday have all grown. However, the seeds that were not watered with space water have not changed at all. After various experiments, Wu Fei has determined that the space spring water can at least accelerate the growth rate of various crops.
After washing with well water, Wu Fei watered all the vegetables and fruits. He decided to go shopping after the grapes were sold out today to fill up the space.
Wu Fei found that his mother had gotten up and was cleaning the room. He asked his mother for two large baskets that were usually used to pick peppers. Wu Fei came to the old house alone.
The garden behind the old house is quiet and quiet, with only the early birds flying around in the garden.
When he walked under the grape trellis and took a look, Wu Fei jumped. He saw that the weeds that were only a little deep the night before had grown more than a foot deep in two days. He walked under other fruit trees that had been watered by space spring water.
At first glance, it was indeed the same. The fruit trees were obviously much more energetic than the day before yesterday, but the weeds were also as lush.
"It won't take half a day to pull out all this grass, but it can also be used to feed cattle. I wonder if you can grow faster if you eat the grass grown in the space spring water." Wu Fei thought: "But you should pay attention next time.
, you have to finish weeding before you can water the space spring. Not to mention wasting spring water, the grass grows so fast and deep, and you also waste time weeding.”
He peeled one and threw it into his mouth. It felt a little more delicious than yesterday. Anyway, Wu Fei felt that this was the most delicious grape he had ever tasted in so many years.
I picked a bunch, then wrapped it in newspapers, and soon the two baskets were filled. I carried it with my hand, and one basket weighed at least 30 kilograms.
When we got home, everyone except Xiao Duoduo had already gotten up. After eating breakfast cooked by his mother, Wu Fei and his sister Wu Li drove a three-wheeled motorcycle towards the county town.
It was about 50 kilometers from Wu Fei's home to the county seat. The tricycle could not drive very fast, and it was already past 9 o'clock when we arrived at the county seat.
I found the farmer's market management office and paid a management fee of 10 yuan to rent a temporary stall. The farmer's market covers an area of about 10 acres and was built in less than a year. It is divided into several areas, and Wu Fei and the others rented a temporary stall.
A stall is a specially designated area for temporary stalls, specially provided for people from the towns below who come to sell things temporarily.
After finding the stall, Wu Fei and the others did not start selling directly. Instead, they waited for their sister Wu Li to come back from walking around before starting to put out the grapes. And Wu Li's walking around outside was not in vain. Several nearby sellers
She inquired about all the fruit sellers, especially those selling grapes, and tried one from each house.
"They are not as delicious as our grapes," Wu Li said to Wu Fei.
"What's the price? How much does it cost per pound?" Wu Fei asked.
"The cheapest ones sell for 8 yuan. They are local ones that are sold before they are cooked. The expensive ones are from other places. The most expensive ones sell for 18 yuan per catty. They are about the same size as ours, but not as big as ours."
The food at home is delicious." Wu Li told Wu Fei the news she had learned.
"Then we can sell them for 20 yuan per catty." After thinking about it, Wu Fei said, "We don't have many grapes anyway. We just weighed them, and they only cost over 70 catties."
"20 yuan per catty, is it too expensive? Is anyone buying it?" Wu Li was a little worried when she heard that it was so expensive.
"Look at our grapes, they are big and fresh. Anyone who wants to buy them will definitely be interested when they see our grapes. When the time comes, let him try a few, do you think he will buy them?" Wu Fei asked.
My sister gave me the idea.
"That's true. Anyway, I have never tasted anything more delicious than our grapes." After hearing what Wu Fei said, Wu Li also agreed with her brother.
"How do you sell these grapes? Can you try them?" At this time, a plump little daughter-in-law stood in front of Wu Fei's stall and asked.
"Okay, okay, let's try it first." Wu Li quickly picked a few grapes from a small bunch specially for tasting and handed them over.
"Yeah, delicious."
"These grapes look fresh. How do you sell them? How much do they cost per pound?" At this time, another auntie who was buying vegetables asked.
"Our grapes are local and were picked from the trees in the morning. You see, the grapevines are all fresh." Wu Li said while showing the grapes to everyone: "Our grapes are the most delicious and sell for 20
It costs 1 yuan per catty. I didn’t pick much today, just two baskets. If you want to buy something, hurry up.”
"It's so expensive. Other grapes from other places are not that expensive. The most expensive ones are only more than ten yuan per catty." When she heard that it cost 20 yuan per catty, the aunt said immediately.
"Auntie, look at how fresh ours are, big and delicious. The grapes from other places have preservatives in them. If they hadn't come so far away, they would have spoiled in such a long time." Seeing that the aunt was dissatisfied,
Gui, Wu Fei said from the side: "Our grapes were only picked in the morning. Look how fresh they are. We guarantee that there are no pesticides, preservatives, or anything harmful."
"Weigh two pounds for me." At this time, the little daughter-in-law who had just tasted a few said.
"Okay, what do you think of this bunch?" Wu Fei picked up a larger bunch, at least more than three kilograms, and asked his wife.
"This bunch is fine, it's big enough. This is the bunch, please weigh it for me."
"Three catties and six taels. Counting your three and a half catties, the total is 70 yuan." Wu Fei weighed it. It didn't look big, but it actually weighed three or four catties.
The little daughter-in-law paid the money readily and said to the aunt: "Auntie, the grapes sold here are good and very sweet."
"Then let me try it too." He said, picking up the grapes scattered in the basket, pinching them with his fingers, and the grape flesh went into his mouth. It seems that he is a man who eats grapes a lot. At least Wu Fei can't do it.
At this point, six or seven out of ten were pinched by him, causing juices to splash everywhere.
"Well, it's good." After eating a grape, the aunt said: "But it's a bit too expensive. Others only sell it for more than ten yuan a pound."
"Auntie, the price is not expensive anymore. Those grapes in the cold storage are sold for RMB 18. It seems that you are a person who likes to eat grapes. Once you eat them, you will know whether they are good or not." At this time, Wu Li, who collected the money, said: "You
Do you think my grapes taste better than theirs? They are grown by our family."
"That's true. You can tell at a glance that it was just picked." The aunt said, "You can also call me Erchuan. I have a lot of family members."
"Okay, two bunches of eight pounds and one tael, 160 yuan." Wu Fei, who was standing next to him, weighed it with quick hands and feet.
"Okay, go ahead." Wu Li said after taking the money.
"You're lucky, it opened just as soon as it was put up." Wu Li said to Wu Fei as he watched the people walk away.
"That's because everyone knows the goods. You can tell they are good at a glance. Of course, they don't care if they are a little more expensive." Wu Fei said: "In Shenzhen, people would buy grapes like this even if they cost twice as much."
"It's so rich," said Wu Li, who usually buys ten yuan a pound, which is still too expensive.
Soon, another business came to the door. In less than an hour, all two baskets of wine were sold out. The one who bought the most bought fifteen kilograms of wine for a total of three hundred yuan. Wu Fei gave him a bunch of small wines as a gift.
At least one of them bought more than a kilogram and collected thirty yuan.
