Sure enough, the person who can get along well with Boss Wu is also a very outgoing person.
Before Song Tan could say anything, the other person had already slipped into the yard.
"Oh, this house is newly built, right? It's so nice! It looks much better than my old house!"
Before the water was poured out, he wandered over to the three old men and women in the corner, and then looked down curiously: "What are they doing?"
Everyone has removed the thorns from the golden berries. Now one person is cutting them while the remaining two are using a small ear pick to split them open and pick out the seeds.
Old Lady Li glanced at him and said, "This is golden cherry, I heard it's a medicinal herb."
"Oh, we grow medicinal herbs at home!"
Boss Qian immediately started chatting enthusiastically.
The old lady Chen next to him gossiped, "I just heard your accent doesn't sound like a local, where are you from?"
Boss Qian waved his hand and said, "I'm from Lucheng, not far from here."
"Well, my friend told me that this boss has a 20-acre peach orchard. I came to take a look."
Speaking of Taoyuan, everyone is curious—
Everyone knows that the girl from the Song family is engaged in agriculture and planting at home, and she also rented a hill to plant peach trees.
But the place behind the mountain is a bit remote and has nothing to do with anyone's land, so usually no one goes there.
Now he was curious and asked, "Fruit should be profitable, right? What's the price of peaches this year?"
This is what I asked.
Boss Qian smiled and said, "The price of each variety is different. The market starts to have peaches in May. It's already July here, the peak fruit season, so they are not worth much... According to what I bought before, if the appearance is good, the wholesale price in the orchard is 10 yuan for three kilograms, and we are responsible for picking them."
10 yuan for three pounds
Old Mrs. Chen thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Old Mrs. Li next to her, "How many acres of mountain did the Song family lease? There must be a lot of peaches, right?"
"The village called a meeting a few days ago. It seemed that there were hundreds of acres of fruit trees planted there... Oh, that's a lot of fruit trees!"
Song Tanzheng took out a bag of tea from the house. Hearing that the conversation was getting more and more outrageous, he quickly said:
"No, wasn't that contracted later? At the beginning, there were only 20 acres of peach trees, not a large quantity."
"It's okay," Boss Qian said, looking very relaxed. "I'm not a big wholesaler. I just do this small business, which is fine."
Those who run serious orchards often have thousands of acres of orchards.
For those who are serious about fruit wholesale and have orchards of thousands of acres, they have to contact several people in advance.
He is different, he is a poor boy who started from scratch, he has a turnover of hundreds of thousands every year, he has no debts and the profit is not bad, he is very satisfied with it!
Boss Qian estimated: I heard from Old Wu that the peaches in this family are growing well, and the yield per mu should be able to reach 1,500 kilograms.
A 20-acre peach orchard should be able to be purchased for 100,000 yuan, if the peaches are of good quality.
There are not many people growing hawkbill peaches around here, most of them are grown by people moving south. But there are many people who like the crispy and sweet taste of local peaches... This batch of fruits should sell quite well.
Otherwise he wouldn't be so active.
Song Tan enthusiastically reached out to take his cup: "Make some tea? Home-made tea."
Boss Qian was happy: "I'll do it myself, oops..."
He enthusiastically took the tea bag from Song Tan's hand: "Old Wu kept praising your tea before, and told me to bring two kilograms back. I was in a hurry this time and didn't have time to go to his house... cough cough cough!
!”
He looked at the handful of "tea leaves" with obviously yellow leaves and old stems, and at this moment he couldn't help but turn the words he hadn't said into a cough.
"You..." Boss Qian had a complicated look. He wanted to ask if you took the wrong thing, but he saw Song Tan looking at him with a smile, not ashamed at all.
"Yes, our tea is famous. Come on, have a try!"
Having said that, he grabbed a handful of tea leaves into the cup without further ado, then boiled it with boiling water and brewed it. His movements were as smooth as flowing water and he completed the whole process in one go.
Mr. Qian: …
God knows.
He was already sighing secretly in his heart.
Dealing with rural people is also troublesome. Many of them are honest, but they are stubborn and think their products are good.
Are there some dishonest ones
That's even worse. They only care about small profits and never consider sustainable development. They break contracts after signing them, and raise prices after they have agreed on something... All of this happens.
For example, right now, he is not exaggerating, it is such a remote mountain road and such a small orchard, and it is only because he is diligent that he is willing to make a trip.
How to serve tea, or this this this this...
Hey, what’s that smell
Boss Qian sniffed and smelled the gradually spreading tea fragrance, and at this moment, he once again swallowed back all the words in his heart.
He cleared his throat, then took the cup in his hand and sniffed it as if nothing had happened, and then praised sincerely: "It's really good tea! It smells so good!"
It’s just that other people’s tea is either fresh leaves or young buds, but here it’s all old tea leaves… Well, it smells good, but it’s a bit embarrassing to give it to others as a gift or to entertain guests.
Song Tan was unaware of Boss Qian's worries, and at this moment he just smiled:
"Boss Qian, I forgot to tell Boss Wu before that our fruit is of premium quality, so the price may be a bit high."
As there were other people sitting in the yard, she didn't tell the price.
Boss Qian, on the other hand, looked very open-minded:
"That's fine. If the peaches are really good, I can offer a higher price. But there's no point in just talking about it. Why don't we go up the mountain and take a look?"
Just for this tea, if peaches are really 1/10 as attractive as this tea, it wouldn't be a bad idea to increase their price by a few cents!
Four yuan per pound, you won’t find such a good price in the entire market!
Song Tan was just about to agree when he heard another car sound.
Secretary Xiao Zhu quickly looked at his phone:
"Song Tan, the people who are conducting the investigation have also arrived."
After saying that, he hurried out, while Song Tan scooped left and right and brought out two large baskets.
Boss Qian followed, curiously looking at the two middle-aged men outside wearing long pants and formal polo shirts: "What are they investigating?"
Song Tan did not hide it: "I plant peach trees on this mountain, and I get subsidies for every acre of land. The other party just came to inspect it today."
“Ohhhh.”
Boss Qian understood.
I don't know why, but seeing that he looked so impressive, I tightened the teacup in my hand, straightened my thin body, and followed Song Tan.
On this side, Secretary Xiao Zhu had already warmly invited the two to the yard, but the inspectors often went to the countryside and had seen everything.
It's so hot today, I just want to finish this quickly.
"No, no, no, it's almost noon. Let's go up the mountain and take a look while the temperature is still acceptable."
The other party held up his phone: "We will also take pictures and keep records when the time comes."
"Okay! Come on, this is the owner of the farm, Song Tan."
The other party looked at Song Tan, stretched out his hand, and was a little surprised: "You are the only one who manages the orchard at home? I heard that you are a college student who returned to your hometown to start a business? Incredible!"
