Ma Qinghong really liked these two children, but they were other people's children, so she couldn't like them too actively, so she looked at Lin Mengya and asked for her opinion.
"Ms. Huo, this fruit tree is not far from here. How about we go there and take a look?"
Lin Mengya readily agreed that it would be great to have a guide to take them there.
So the four of them, together with Ma Qinghong, went to see this magical fruit tree.
Long Tianyu quietly held his wife's hand.
He only ate half of the fruit that the lady gave him just now. Now he had peeled off the skin and removed the core inside. It was wrapped in a clean handkerchief and handed to Lin Mengya's hand.
"The fruit tastes a little different from the dry sweet noodle."
Lin Mengya looked at the half fruit and rolled her eyes with a smile, and said quietly: "This thing is not difficult, you should eat it quickly! And I have ordered more, so everyone on our ship can eat it in the future."
Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows, but still let her take a bite before continuing to put it in his mouth.
This is almost his habit. Whenever he encounters some rare and rare food, he will save his share for her.
In fact, with their current status, they can eat whatever they want, but this is just a habit and has nothing to do with anything else.
The fruit trees were indeed as Ma Qinghong said, not far from the yard where they were.
Lin Mengya finally realized what they meant by saying that the entire island was filled with fruit trees.
Where they were, there were patches of green or slightly yellow fruits hanging on the woods.
"Aunt Hong, are these all egg yolks? But why do they look different from the ones we eat?"
After obtaining Lin Mengya's consent, Ma Qinghong held both children in her arms without any effort.
Hearing Xiao Moyan's words, she explained with a smile: "Because these are fruits that are not yet fully ripe! Let's go, Auntie will take you to pick one and you will know."
The two little guys were a little impatient.
Some of these egg yolk fruit trees are tall and some are short, Ma Qinghong did not forget to explain to the two adults. "I heard that these fruit trees existed when our ancestors landed on this island, and in addition to bearing fruit, these fruit trees also
They don’t grow too big, and if we can’t finish eating these fruits, they just dry on the branches. Every year in winter we
You can also use it to make a fire to keep warm. This dry fruit is very good at igniting fire and is also resistant to burning."
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, God is not so fair.
"Then why don't you sell this kind of fruit? I heard that the yields of your vegetable gardens and orchards are not very high. Selling this kind of fruit can also increase your income." Lin Mengya asked doubtfully.
Ma Qinghong sighed and explained: "It could have been sold originally, but I don't know when the merchants who came and went said that the fruit was unknown. They also said that it was not a fruit but some kind of phoenix egg."
"They also said that if you eat this kind of food, you will cause disaster. But we have obviously eaten it for several lifetimes and it has not caused any disaster."
Lin Mengya didn't understand why there were such outrageous rumors.
It is more practical than people saying before that this fruit is not popular because it tastes bad.
However, it is very likely that there are two reasons why this fruit has not been sold.
But Lin Mengya felt that this group of people just got used to it.
"This kind of fruit is very nutritious and is very suitable for people who sail on the sea." She explained to Ma Qinghong what it means to be nutritious.
Ma Qinghong was shocked to learn that this fruit could effectively prevent scurvy.
"Wha, what? The fruit really has such wonderful effects!"
Lin Mengya nodded and said: "Not only that, it can also clear the intestines. Many times, because of the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables on the ship, even eating dried vegetables can sometimes not prevent gastrointestinal discomfort."
"This kind of fruit can effectively solve this problem. The most important thing is that it is very convenient to store. Do you think this fruit is powerful?"
The way Ma Qinghong looked at Lin Mengya, he no longer just regarded her as a benefactor, she was simply the incarnation of the Goddess of Poseidon!
right!
It must be because the Poseidon Queen heard their prayers and because of their extremely pious worship that she sent Miss Huo to them!
"But, with such good fruit, I can't help them if they don't buy it!"
If the fruit can be sold, it will not only increase their income in the future, but more importantly, they can rely on this fruit to get through the current predicament.
In the past few months, they have lost many customers due to the evil done by the Feilong Gang.
If this matter spreads, no one may come to buy supplies from them, and the people on the island will lose their source of livelihood.
Even if she can use the Yinghong Gang's big ship to bring everyone the supplies they need, it is not a long-term solution after all.
And in this way, they can only rely on the wealth they saved before to live in vain.
Maybe they don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat in their lifetime, but what about future generations?
Therefore, transactions with the outside world must be resumed as soon as possible.
But whether it is vegetables or fruits, it will take a certain amount of time to recover. It will take at least one to two months before they have enough supplies to trade with the people on the ship.
Now if they can add this egg yolk fruit, they will be more confident in retaining those customers. Lin Mengya just reminded: "They say that rushing is not a business, even if you tell them the effects of these fruits, they will not
You will believe it, so you might as well list this egg yolk fruit as a prohibited item for trading on your island.
one."
"When every ship approaches, you take the initiative to tell us that all items on the island can be traded, except this egg yolk fruit."
Ma Qinghong didn't understand, "But wouldn't it make it even harder to sell?"
Lin Mengya just smiled mysteriously, "Not necessarily, some people always think that the best things are the things that are unavailable! And they are all merchants who come and go, so they must understand the principle that rare goods can be bought."
"They see a lot of ordinary fruits and vegetables. Of course, they don't interest them, but this mysterious and taboo thing is enough to arouse the curiosity of many people."
"You can take this opportunity to secretly sell some of it. When they realize the real benefits of this egg yolk fruit, they will definitely buy from you again."
Lin Mengya is not a business expert, but she has seen too much of this kind of marketing routine in modern society.
For example, no one may care about the jade stalls you buy on the roadside, but the prices of rough stones marked "not for sale, only for display" are increasing several times.
After that, it will be sold.
This takes advantage of people's curiosity.
And some people always feel that only good things will be kept by the merchants themselves.
In fact, this idea is correct, but who would choose to display truly good things in public and cause others to covet them?
So to put it bluntly, these are all routines.
Ma Qinghong still didn't understand it, but when she called some of the smartest people in the clan to discuss it after she returned, everyone felt that her benefactor's method was simply wonderful!
So since then, the "Phoenix Eggs" on this small island have even become a best-selling product at home and abroad.
Some people have also tried to plant it on the coast, but they don't know whether it is due to the soil and water quality, but they never have the flavor of the island.
But who would have thought that this fruit, which can usually be sold for one or two silver a piece, is actually used as firewood on the island?
It can only be said that businessmen have dark hearts.
The sea people on the island have never been able to compete with those who run merchant ships.
But as long as everyone gets benefits, it’s a win-win situation.
Ma Qinghong wrote down Lin Mengya's words, and then took the four of them to pick freely in the forest.
They come here often, so there are some bamboo baskets here for putting fruits.
Ma Qinghong originally wanted to carry it on her own, but was stopped by Long Tianyu.
He followed his wife and when he saw which fruit Lin Mengya wanted, he immediately took advantage of his height to pick it.
Ma Qinghong's eyes lit up when she saw this scene.
She also wants to find a tall husband-in-law in the future.
At least when picking fruits, you can pick fruits that others cannot pick!
At this time, Lin Mengya still didn't know that she had invisibly influenced the concept of mate selection of a generation of heroine Ma Qinghong.
Ma Qinghong once felt that it didn't matter whether she married or not, since she didn't want to have children anyway. Later, Ma Qinghong felt that men can also be used as a spice to a boring life.
Although she still doesn't want to have children, it doesn't mean that she can't have a man!
The whole family had been playing around for a while, and when it got dark, Lin Mengya and the others decided to go back.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness of the night, someone hurriedly came over, it was Lin Mengya and the others.
"Miss, uncle."
The man maintained the personality of the couple smoothly and without any flaws.
"The master asked me to tell you two that a ship approached the island tonight. Our people have followed it and found out that there may be something wrong with these people."
The happy mood that I had just had fun with just now disappeared all of a sudden.
Lin Mengya immediately thought of a possibility.
She glanced at her man, and Long Tianyu's expression became more serious.
After giving the man a few instructions, he said to Lin Mengya: "I will send you and the children back first. You don't have to worry about the situation here. I will handle it."
If he was really a "master" of the Feilong Gang, they would not let him escape no matter what.
If not, Ma Qinghong and the others must be able to solve it.
The same goes for Ma Qinghong. He immediately handed the children back to the couple and said, "I'll go settle them first." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
