For half an hour, no one came forward to ask about the price, but Fang Ming was not in a hurry and still sat there leisurely. However, Qin Xue was a little anxious and kept shouting.
"Uncle, look at these peaches. We grew them ourselves and just picked them."
"Auntie, these peaches are very sweet and delicious."
"Uncle, look at the peaches, they are fresh."
…
However, no matter how much Qin Xue shouted, no one came to buy them, because for people in the county, 20 yuan a pound of peaches was indeed too expensive.
"Your peaches are so expensive, can I try them?"
After a long time, a man in a suit finally came over and asked.
"Testing?" Fang Ming thought for a moment. He originally wanted to say that he couldn't try it, but when he thought that no one had come to buy it until now, he finally said after pondering for a moment: "Okay."
The man didn't say anything. He picked up a peach and was about to wipe it with his hands, but found that the peach was very clean.
"Have you washed your peach?"
Fang Ming smiled and didn't answer. In fact, he didn't wash the peaches at all. They looked just like they were picked from the tree.
After taking a small bite of the peach, the expression on the man's face changed. His eyes widened with a look of surprise. Then he changed his previous eating method and began to eat in big mouthfuls. He actually finished the fist-sized peach in a few bites.
.
"This is the most delicious peach I have ever tasted. It costs twenty yuan per catty. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth it. Boss, please give me five catties."
The man took out his wallet and took out one hundred yuan. Fang Ming smiled, weighed five kilograms of peaches with an electronic scale, put them in a bag and handed them to the man.
"Brother, it's finally sold."
Putting one hundred yuan into the small box, Qin Xue smiled happily. She did not expect that someone would actually buy such expensive peaches, and one purchase would cost five kilograms.
Watching the man's leaving figure, Fang Ming thought for a moment and added another line of words on the board: Tasting allowed.
Fang Ming suddenly figured it out. These days, the fragrance of wine is still too deep in the alley. If he continues to be so arrogant, he may not be able to sell the peaches in these two bamboo baskets.
I have to say that after adding this line, more people came to inquire. Of course, most of them still didn't try it, because most of them were thin-skinned and felt embarrassed after trying it but not buying it.
But the good thing is that there are still a lot of people trying the food, and after everyone who tasted it, they bought them all, the least was one catty, the most was ten catties, two baskets of peaches in less than an hour or two.
By that time, they were almost sold out, with only two or three squeezed peaches left.
"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred..."
Qin Xue happily counted the money there, her little eyes narrowed as she smiled. After counting three times in a row, she said sweetly: "Brother, we sold 5,360 yuan today."
"Yes, the stall is closed today."
Fang Ming glanced at the remaining peaches in the basket, and then at an old man not far away. This was a skinny old man, squatting on the ground, with a snakeskin bag spread out in front of him.
Put some green onions and spring onions on top.
Obviously, these green onions were grown by the old man himself, and the ones he couldn't eat were sold to the county.
"Xiaoxue, give these peaches to this old man, and then we go home."
"good."
Qin Xue took a few peaches and walked up to the old man. The old man had a look of surprise on his face at first, said something to Qin Xue, and finally accepted the peaches and smiled at Fang Ming.
"Brother, grandpa asked me to thank you."
"knew."
Fang Ming didn't say anything. The old man had been setting up the stall for almost the whole morning, but Fang Ming noticed that the green onions he sold were pitiful. Green onions are different from other vegetables. Many people only sell them in a few or two.
Buy it. After all, green onions are just a condiment. If you buy too much, you won’t be able to use it all.
"Come on, let's go home and pick peaches."
…
The next day, Fang Ming picked three bamboo baskets of peaches this time. Unlike last time, no one showed up. As soon as his tricycle arrived, a large group of people came over.
"Boss, your peaches are so delicious."
"Yes, I bought it home yesterday, and my husband, who doesn't like peaches, ate two or three of them."
"My sister-in-law is in the hospital and can't eat anything, but she ate the peach with gusto yesterday."
"Boss, give me three kilograms."
"Give me five pounds."
"I want twenty pounds."
…
Seeing so many people coming to buy peaches, Fang Ming also had a smile on his face. Most of these were yesterday's customers, and some were friends of those customers who came here after eating peaches.
Soon, all the peaches in the three bamboo baskets were sold within half an hour. This was because Fang Ming was the only one doing the weighing, otherwise the speed would have been faster.
"Xiaoxue, give these peaches to that grandpa and then send them over."
There were still a few peaches left, so Fang Ming asked Qin Xue to send them to the old man again, and then left again with Xiaoxue.
"You can't transport much at a time on a tricycle."
On the way home, Fang Ming had an idea in his mind. When he arrived at the village, he walked directly towards the village chief's house.
"Qin Yang, are you looking for my dad? My dad just went to the village committee."
At the village chief Li Nan's house, only village chief Li Nan's son Li Ke is at home. Li Ke is similar in age to Fang Ming. The two of them played together when they were young. Moreover, unlike Fang Ming, Li Ke was the leader of the children in the village when he was a child, and he was very popular.
He was also very loyal. Once Qin Yang was bullied by children from the next village, Li Ke led other children in the village to beat up the children who hit Qin Yang.
"Brother, I'm here to see you this time. Don't you have a truck?"
"Yeah, you want to use a truck?"
"Well, I want to borrow Ke Ge's truck to take me some peaches to the county town to sell. I can give Ke Ge two hundred yuan for the transportation fee."
"Come on, it's not like I don't know about your family's situation. How can I still collect money from you? If my dad finds out, he won't poke my spine." Li Ke curled his lips and said.
Fang Ming smiled and said nothing, and led Li Ke towards the back mountain. This was Li Ke's second visit to the mountain after many years.
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
Looking at the fruit trees on the mountain, Li Ke cursed a few times before calming down the shock in his heart. This was too exaggerated. It was no longer the season, and the peaches, apples... and plums had all grown.
"Is this still a bayberry tree? It's bigger than a lychee."
"There are so many peaches on a tree, but the branches are not broken. This is unscientific."
Li Ke turned into a shock madman at this moment, while Fang Ming was picking peaches with a smile. After Li Ke digested it, he joined in as a helper.
"These peaches look very good, Qin Yang, how much do they cost per pound?" Li Ke picked a peach and asked while putting it in his mouth.
"Twenty yuan a pound."
Snap!
Li Ke didn't hold his hand, and the peach fell directly to the ground. The peaches cost twenty yuan per pound, and with the weight of these peaches, only two of them could be killed by one pound.
"There are probably more than a thousand kilograms of peaches on your tree. They cost twenty yuan a kilogram, which means that this peach tree alone has an income of more than twenty thousand yuan. You are robbing money."
Fang Ming did not answer, but gave Li Ke a tasting look.
"No matter how delicious the peach is, it's impossible to sell it at this price, and it can still taste like ginseng fruit."
Li Ke picked up the peach on the ground, wiped it, put it in his mouth and took a bite. After that, his expression became the same as that of the people who bought the peach from Fang Ming.
"Damn, such a delicious peach, the moisture and the sweetness are just right."
After eating a peach, Li Ke spoke. Now he finally knew why the peach was so expensive. Although he had never eaten ginseng fruit, in his opinion, even ginseng fruit tasted like this.
"There is also this apple, let me try it too."
After eating the peaches, Li Ke walked to the apple tree again, picked one and put it in his mouth. The apple juice flowed into his mouth along with the pulp. The unique green and astringent taste caught his taste buds instantly.
.
"This...this has completely different tastes from peaches, but they are both so delicious. Qin Yang, how much do you plan to sell these apples per kilogram?"
"Thirty yuan." Fang Ming said without raising his head.
The corner of Li Ke's mouth twitched, and after a while he replied, "This price is not expensive."
…
After a whole morning of hard work, Fang Ming and Li Ke just finished picking peaches from two peach trees. After picking them onto the truck, the entire back of the truck was full, and they drove the truck toward the county town.
However, when he arrived at the original place this time, Fang Ming found that the stall that originally belonged to him was occupied. It was also a fruit stall, and the stall owner also sold peaches.
This kind of stall is usually set up by whoever comes first. Fang Ming didn't say anything, but the other party deliberately sold peaches here, which was obviously intentional, knowing that he sold peaches here well.
Facing the provocative gaze of the vendor, Fang Ming didn't say anything. Instead, he stopped the car near the inner corner, and then he and Li Ke moved two baskets of peaches from the truck and started selling them.
Business was still booming, and more people came this time than last time. Among them, there was a middle-aged man who pulled Fang Ming aside.
"Boss, tell me how many kilograms of these peaches cost. I plan to buy them all at once. Can the price be a little cheaper?"
Fang Ming looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smiling look, which made the middle-aged man mutter in his heart. To be honest, he had bought this peach the day before yesterday, and he was instantly conquered by the taste of the peach.
This kind of peach is definitely not expensive at twenty yuan a pound, but he was worried that some kind of pesticide was used in the peach, so he took the peach to a testing agency to have it tested, but the final test result shocked him.
Big jump.
The vitamin content far exceeds that of ordinary peaches, does not contain any hormones, and is even comparable to some supplements.
This result shocked him. If this was really the case, then these peaches would be easy to sell even if they were sold for fifty yuan a pound.
