Looking at the golden fruits hanging on the branches, Du Wa, who was standing on the edge of the field, sighed and felt sad.
Jinpaoguo is a native fruit of Cusco!
They are shaped like stacks of bubbles and hang in bunches on the branches. When mature, they glow golden like the sunset.
It can be eaten directly, or can be dried and stored as dried fruit. If used to make wine, the taste will be unique, sweet and sour, refreshing and tempting.
Burning a cup of it in the cold winter is a must-have for surviving the severe cold.
Its status in Cusco is equivalent to that of a basic crop, so there are many fruit farmers growing Jinpao fruit and the competition is fierce.
Logically speaking, Dua should be happy about the bumper harvest of Jinpao Fruit
But he was a little unhappy.
A good harvest means cheap fruits.
Low prices of grain hurt farmers, and low prices of fruits also hurt farmers.
"I heard that the purchase price of the fruit has dropped below three cents. What should we do? We can't use our savings to fill it, right? How about not selling it, drying the fruit, and selling it again when the price picks up? "
Dua's wife, Salina, stood nearby with a worried look on her face.
According to experience, if the purchase price is less than four yuan, you will basically be in a loss situation.
However, this year has been a bumper harvest and the output has increased significantly. In theory, if it falls below four qian, there should be a small profit, but if it falls below 3 qian, it will definitely be a loss.
There is absolutely no doubt about it.
"How can we dry so many fruits? How much wind can we use? Besides, with the blessing of Mother Earth, not only our family will have a bumper harvest this year, but every family will have a bumper harvest. I see, the price of dried fruits will not pick up."
Dua is very discerning and hits the nail on the head.
Immediately, he looked sad again: "Brandon is studying at the Steward College and has to pay tuition again soon. If we don't sell fruit, how will we get the money to pay for it?"
Selina's expression suddenly collapsed when she heard this, and she looked like she was crying: "Why, how come this great harvest is worse than last year? What a crime!"
Dua remained silent.
The Jinpao fruit harvest failed, and everyone suffered.
There was a bumper harvest of Jinpao fruits, but everyone suffered.
What kind of world is this
"Ding ding..."
A burst of Internet video interrupted Dua's silence. He quickly opened the Internet and saw his friend Hansen, a fellow Jinpao fruit farmer, popping up on the virtual screen.
"Old Dua, have you heard? The purchase price of Jinpao Guo has dropped to two cents?"
"What?"
Dua was shocked.
Selina's pupils shrank sharply.
"Hurry up and sell it. I'm already selling it. I heard from the dealer that the price will fall in the future, and maybe it will fall below one cent. It's like giving it away for free!"
"how so?"
"Isn't it the fault of that damn divine food of the Holy Eucharist?"
After hearing this, Selina collapsed and sat on the ground, grabbing the ground with her head and crying.
"How can we live like this? Mother Earth, kind Mother Earth, please save us!"
Du Wa's face turned pale when he saw this, and a thought echoed in his heart.
- "It's over!"
The land for the orchard is rented, the night scented compost is purchased, and pest control, pruning, and weeding are done day and night. There are too many costs involved.
Selling it for two cents is definitely a loss of blood.
The price is still falling, is this going to be a complete death without a burial place
For a moment, Dua felt that his mind went blank, his chest felt empty, and he almost felt like he was out of body.
"Ding ding ding..."
There was another burst of Internet video prompts.
Dua took a look, and a trace of panic and guilt suddenly flashed across his face.
The person who posted the video was none other than his son Brandon.
Brandon has always been proud of him!
He has been smart since he was a child and can learn everything quickly. He even learned a little magic and fighting spirit from mercenaries and entered the Butler Academy.
You know, the students who come out of the Butler Academy are eagerly wanted by aristocrats and wealthy businessmen.
From now on, you will have no worries about eating and drinking, and your harvest will be guaranteed regardless of drought or flood.
It's not like their fruit farmers, who depend on the weather to make ends meet. If the weather is bad, there will be no fruit to sell, but if the weather is good, the fruit will be sold at a low price.
Brandon is one year away from graduation.
He was about to live a good life, but an accident happened on his side. This made Dua feel very uncomfortable. He felt that he was sorry for his son, and he was even too scared and timid to answer the video.
"Ding ding ding..."
The video is still playing and seems to be getting faster and faster.
"Stop crying, Brandon's video!"
Dua shouted to his wife, who answered the phone while she was hurriedly wiping away tears.
"What do you want from me, Brandon? I'm picking fruits. Look at this year's fruits. They are so beautiful. They are big and juicy. They will definitely fetch a good price."
Dua pointed the camera at the fruit trees and said cheerfully.
He knew that his son was smart, and if he didn't change the subject, he was really afraid that he would catch some clues and affect his studies.
At this time, Du Wa had already made up his mind to provide for his son to complete the stewardship academy, even if he had to sell it.
"Dad, I've heard that the purchase price this year is lower than last year." As soon as Brandon spoke, Dewar's expression froze instantly.
He didn't even dare to look at his son's handsome face on the screen.
In my heart, I felt both the embarrassment of being exposed and the shame of being helpless.
"You, just rest assured and study, you don't need to worry about the rest." Dua insisted.
"No, Dad, don't treat me like a child. I have a business with you this time. Do you know about Internet shopping? Why sell our fruits to foot traders? We can totally retail them and sell them to the people of Kver. They have Money, they haven’t eaten Jinpaoguo, so I don’t dare to say they will make a fortune, but they may make money.”
Brandon was afraid that his father would get angry, so he hung up the video and quickly expressed his thoughts in one breath.
As a student studying at a noble college, it can be said that his knowledge and knowledge are definitely not inferior to those of most nobles.
After all, the academy trained them to serve the nobility.
How can a country bumpkin with no knowledge serve the nobles
Because of this, Brandon received what can be called a cutting-edge education, and his familiarity with the Internet is naturally far beyond that of most people.
Recently, the Internet has announced the upcoming Internet shopping, which has caused discussion within the college.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Under the influence, Brandon keenly realized that his Jinpao Guo could actually be retailed through Internet shopping.
"What is this? Internet shopping? Isn't there e-commerce on the Internet?" Dua looked confused.
It turns out that the dissemination of information has limits.
Even if the Internet can be used by everyone, there are still a considerable number of people who do not know much about the Internet.
"Oh, Internet shopping is a function that will be launched soon... Oh, I can't explain it clearly in the video. I have already asked for leave and will go home immediately. Dad, you have to believe me, this matter is definitely promising."
Brandon tried to explain, but the more he explained, the more confused he became. He simply stopped explaining and directly told his father that he was about to go home.
Faced with Brandon's request for leave, Dua rarely blamed him.
He said for the first time that he would wait for Brandon to come home.
…
Thanks to the means of transportation spread by the Kingdom of Kvir.
Brandon, who used to take half a day to get home by horse-drawn carriage, directly called a Moto through the Internet taxi service in the same city, and it only took two hours to get home.
-Although he had to pay the price of having his butt split into eight pieces.
"Do you understand, Dad?"
Back home, in the orchard, Brandon tried his best to explain the concept of Internet shopping to his parents in concise and concise words.
However, seeing his father's still blank look in his eyes, Brandon knew that his father still didn't understand.
He neither understands the online shopping model;
I also can’t understand why the Internet Gods went to so much trouble to send their fruits to Kerviel and only charged a few Internet coins
I can’t even understand it. What if people don’t pay for this fruit after giving it away
I heard that Kevir is still in another world, a world that only gods and noble magicians can cross. How can he, an old farmer, ask for an account
This sounds like a liar.
"Well, I seem to understand a little bit. You can give it a try. It's just a matter of three to five kilograms of fruit anyway. How can there be no three or five kilograms of rotten fruit in the world?"
Dua still didn't understand the Internet shopping described by his son.
But he understood a little bit, and knew that he would lose at most three to five kilograms of fruit if he tried.
Anyway, most of the fruits in the orchard will be sold cheaply, or even rot on the ground. It is innocuous to take some out and experiment, so he simply agreed.
Brand was overjoyed when his father agreed.
He quickly turned on the Internet, clicked on Internet shopping, preset products, took photos, and wrote descriptions. He was very busy.
Thanks to the Internet template operation, Brand only took half a day to set up the online store.
Everything is ready below, all we need is the east wind.
Amidst the anxiety and thoughts, at noon the next day, Internet shopping was officially launched.
