Chapter 931: The selfish and vain female supporting role (28)
After all, these students have never done farm work before. Isn’t it difficult for them to harvest rice and wheat? Aren’t you afraid that they will ruin the vegetable field by fertilizing, watering, and catching insects?
Picking is different, it’s easy to learn and get started, and you can see the fruits of your labor immediately.
It’s not that the head teachers of other classes are uninterested, but it takes an hour and a half by bus from Jiang County to Xiangcheng. Is it too far?
Besides, if you contact a large farmer or vegetable grower in the city, the cost is very low. A student can do it for only 50 or 60 yuan. When you go out to the market and it’s fruit picking, the discounted price for a group tour is 118 yuan per person. Parents, don’t you think so?
Any opinions?
Unexpectedly, the parents were very happy and even wanted to sign up with their children for a family trip.
It is impossible to have a parent-child tour. This is a labor practice organized by the school, but with the support of parents, the activity went smoothly.
There are forty students in a class. Except for two students who took leave due to physical reasons, all other students have signed up.
Under the leadership of Teacher Xu and another male teacher, on Friday, carrying schoolbags containing water and snacks, they happily boarded the bus, singing and laughing all the way, and came to Xiangcheng to experience the daily life of fruit farmers.
When the villagers saw that the people in this car were all students, and they were junior high school students born out of restless adolescence, all of them were youthful and energetic, they couldn't help but feel cold sweat for the Mingkang family.
"Students of this age are not as qualified as retired teachers. They don't care about environmental protection, and they don't care about fruits. They eat whatever they want at home and throw them away if they don't want to eat them. They have a bad temper. I have to persuade them.
I don’t know how to listen, and I find you annoying if I talk too much, and even confront you, and now the Mingkang family’s cherry orchard will be ruined.”
However, the results once again surprised them.

Looking at the cherry orchard after the student group left, everyone looked at me and I looked at you: "Isn't this quite clean?"
"It's really not a waste?"
"How did the Mingkang family do it?"
"Not only the Mingkang family, but also the Lijun family's nectarine orchard is normal. When tourists come, they pick and eat at the same time. Each person picks two or three baskets. One basket is included in the tourist fee for free, and the rest are for tourists.
They paid for it. After they left, the ground was clean, and there were no nectarines in the trash can that were eaten after just one or two bites."
"..."
At the same time, on the bus returning, Gu Chenyu was handing out souvenirs to the students: "Boss Xu said that you did not damage the environment or waste cherries during the picking process. She will stamp your labor practice form with an excellent stamp."
, and I’ll give you a souvenir as well.”
The souvenir is a small cherry-shaped sachet filled with herbs that can make people sober. Wearing them on their bodies can help them stay awake and alert.
"Sister tour guide, when we came here, didn't you say that you can pick other things in the orchard of Qianjin Village? So if you go to pick peaches, plums, and apricots, are there such souvenirs?" A girl asked curiously.
Gu Chenyu said with a smile: "Of course, whatever fruit you pick, the sachet will be given in the same shape."
This is a souvenir agreed between Xu Yin, the village committee, and the travel agency - it will be sewn by an elderly woman who is good at needlework in the village, and the herbs will be purchased by Xu Yin.
The woman's wages are collected from the village committee and turned over to the expenses for receiving the tour. Herbs, embroidery cloth, and embroidery thread are all sponsored by the travel agency.
In fact, the cost is not much. Old women are too old to do anything else. They can make money by sitting in the village committee courtyard sewing sachets. Even if it is only twenty or thirty yuan a day, they are very happy.
What's more, as I get older and don't live with my juniors, I feel lonely at home alone. If we can sew sachets together and chat, our spirits will be much better.
The sewn sachet souvenirs are kept by the village committee cadres and distributed to tourists when they leave after picking.
However, they will explain when they arrive: If any tourists do not abide by the agreement during the picking process, wantonly damage the environment, damage the orchard, and waste fruit, not only will they not be given souvenirs, but they will also be blacklisted and will not be able to come to Qianjin Village to pick fruit again in the future.
We are all adults, even if we are not yet adults, we are still good young people who have grown up under the red flag. We will generally not disobey the truth after breaking it apart and crushing it to pieces.
Even if there are such people, they are very few of the best. If you meet them once, they will be blacklisted. If you want to come to Qianjin Village next time to pick them, I'm sorry! No chance!
In this way, the orchard of Qianjin Village, under the leadership of Xu Yin, received batch after batch of tourist groups.
There are basically family groups on weekends, retired employee groups on weekdays, and student groups with a labor practice theme. From Monday to Sunday, there are tourist buses coming to Shaiguchang every day, sometimes more than one.
The village committee's daily income started at 200 yuan, and sometimes it was as much as 600 yuan, which made the village elder smile like a chrysanthemum.
The orchard who picked up the group was also smiling from ear to ear.
It’s the same two to three hundred kilograms. The farmers work hard to pick it and sell it to the buyers who come to visit, or the tourists pick it and buy it themselves. The price difference is one to two thousand, and this is only one day! What if it takes more times?
The profits from taking over the group were so high that they saw hope.
They were fortunate to have signed up. Whether it was environmental maintenance fees or other fees, they were very active in paying for them.
Because they know that the good quality of tourists is obtained by the village committee and the travel agency together with souvenirs.
Moreover, after advertising the one-day souvenir-picking tour in Xiangcheng Qianjin Village, it will attract more tourists and generate more business.
In this way, the trouble of buyers lowering prices will no longer be a problem for them.
On the contrary, the purchasers who used to sneer at the little cherries often come to Xu Yin's house recently, licking their faces and asking if they can sell some of them.
The quotation has increased from the original 6 yuan to 10 yuan.
No matter how high the price is, they can't give it. After all, they don't directly contact the merchants. They sell it to wholesalers, and there is an intermediary.
But now, does the Xu family still lack the 10 yuan quotation?
Xu Yin delivers a batch of cherries to Anshi every two days and sells several of them weighing 100 kilograms. Not to mention the money earned from energy points, the price of small cherries starts at 12 yuan.
I was originally worried that no one would want the cherries when they were ripe, but they were still hanging on the branches. Why should I worry now?
Oh, there is also worry - worry about not selling enough!
Saying it may make the acquirer vomit blood, but it is indeed the truth.
For the small cherries in Anshi, her varieties are the best-selling ones. There is no need to worry about lack of sales. On the contrary, the supply exceeds the demand.
The purchaser also shamelessly came to Xu's house when he saw that the price of small cherries in Anshi remained high, affecting Jiangxian, Wenxian and other surrounding markets.
Unexpectedly, the Xu family's cherries have already been sold well, and I regret not settling on them earlier.
When I came to see the cherries for the first time in late May, if I had been more cheerful and given a quote of 8 yuan, I would have signed the contract long ago.
