Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 40 The Big, Red Apple

"If you want to know the road, it depends on people's wishes. Five degrees of clear frost crushes the canopy." After the autumnal equinox, the autumn is refreshing.At this time, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, the crabs are flying and the chrysanthemums are yellow, the mountains are red, and the forests are all dyed. It is a good time to watch the scenery and enjoy the moon.

By the end of September, all kinds of fruits and vegetables are basically mature, and the profits of reselling fruits and vegetables at this time are very low.Those unsalable fruits and vegetables have either been snapped up by those who dumped them, or they have simply rotted. If they go back now, there will be only leftovers left, basically no profit.

But that is for ordinary people. For Hu Tu, as long as there is a price difference between regions for a certain item and there are sales channels, he can make money.After all, he has Hu Xiaolian in his hands. As long as he wants, he can put a huge amount of fruits and vegetables in the lotus platform space, and sell them at high prices, and the profits are very rich.

In extreme cases, he can even travel by train or plane, and still be able to sell goods.In addition to the fresh-keeping ability of the space, he doesn't have to worry about the fruits and vegetables being spoiled, and he doesn't have to worry about buying expensive and selling cheap. At worst, he will wait for the price of fruits to increase.If summer and autumn are about to fail, you can always wait until winter.

For the first stop, Hu Tu chose Shandong.

Gupeng City is relatively close to Shandong, so it is convenient to drive there.Furthermore, the price of apples in Shandong has fluctuated year after year, and this year has been bearish all the way. News of unsalable apples in various places has appeared one after another.

For unsalable fruits, the most important thing is to find a market. If there is a good market, these fruits are all gold. If there is no market, no matter how good the fruit is, you can only watch it rot.

After inquiring about relevant news and seeing the poor sales situation, Hu Tu suddenly felt bad.Surrounded by peasants, he could see the suffering of the peasants, so he felt sad for their hard work for a year but ended in disastrous results.He sighed softly and said: "Although the power is still very small now, if you can help solve a little bit, you can also make some money by the way. When you earn more, you can solve more problems."

Because the driver's license can only be used on expressways after one year of practice, Hutu can only take non-expressways. Fortunately, there are electronic maps, which are quite convenient unless there are special road sections.It just took a little more time, from the original two hours to the current three hours.It hasn't been long since he took the driver's license test. Although he is confident that his driving skills are quite good, he doesn't dare to take it too seriously. He is cautious all the way, and stops every hour to rest for 5 minutes to ensure a safe journey.

Arriving in a small town in Shandong LY, Hu Tu stopped the car, went to the market to buy some food, and asked a local middle-aged man by the way: "Uncle, where are you selling apples here? I want to buy some go back."

The big man glanced at Hu Tu, and replied in a deep voice: "Oh, how much do you want to buy? If there is less, you can buy it at the vegetable market in front." His Mandarin is not very standard, but he tries hard to speak standard, and , He also thinks that his Mandarin is very standard, with a confident expression on his face.

Hu Tu quickly said: "I want more, about four to five thousand catties." He said the weight that a cart can pull, and in order to avoid wearing out, he only planned to buy one cart here.

The big man showed joy and said, "Oh, that's not much. Then what price can you give?"

When looking for slow-moving information before, Hu Tu checked the fruit prices here. The price of better-quality apples is [-] cents a catty, and the price of poor-quality apples is [-]-[-] cents.He said: "If the quality is better, it will cost six to seven cents a catty. If it is poor, it will not be accepted for the time being. Uncle, do you have any apples at home?"

"I don't grow much, but my wife's natal family grows a lot." The big man said, took out a pack of cigarettes, and handed one to Hu Tu, who immediately refused.It's not that he hasn't smoked before, but he doesn't like smoking, and smoking is harmful to his health, so he doesn't smoke anymore.

"Young people, there are more and more non-smokers. I also want to quit smoking, but unfortunately I am addicted and can't quit." The big man explained casually and continued, "But the price you gave is a bit low, you don't know, Have the prices of apples here been rising recently?" The latter sentence is the key point.

Hu Tu hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't fool me. If I don't understand the situation here, I wouldn't dare to come here casually." He can still figure out the price of the fruit.

The big man smiled and asked, "What's your name for the young man?" He gradually got closer, and it was easier to talk when he got closer.

"Miangui's surname is Hu, you can just call me Xiao Hu." Hu Tu did not say his full name, "Uncle, I have to rush back after picking up the fruit, are you free now, I will go and see your house Apple, if it looks good, let's talk about the price."

"Manager Hu, wait a minute." The big man walked into the store and called out his wife. The two whispered in each other's ears before coming out and said, "This is my wife. You can call her Aunt Tao or Xiao Tao. Let her follow me." You go there."

Hu Tu wanted to buy it, but he wasn't in a hurry to buy his. After all, there were slow-moving apples all over the place.Therefore, he wanted to sell it even more. After all, if he couldn't sell it, the fruit worth more money would be wasted.Therefore, he didn't dare to force Hu Tu too much, he only hoped that Hu Tunen would be kind enough to give more money in the end.

Now it is a buyer's market, and the seller has no right to speak.

Aunt Tao is a fat, middle-aged woman who is a little silent in front of strangers, but judging from her attitude when talking to her husband, she should be a very cheerful woman.She sat in the co-pilot and showed Hu Tu the way. After driving for 10 minutes, she arrived in front of a two-story building. Aunt Tao shouted at the top of her voice, "Mom, the apple collector is here."

An old couple ran out of the house "thump-thump-thump" and welcomed Hu Tu in.The yard is full of apples, roughly estimated to be more than 5000 catties, all of which are in good shape and look big and red.No wonder the big man said that Hu Tu didn't earn much!

One of the two parties wants to buy and the other wants to sell, so the price will naturally be negotiated.I don't know what they were negotiating with. Aunt Tao wanted [-] cents a catty to die, and she didn't counter the price. She kept talking about how difficult it was to cultivate the land before, and if she lowered the price, she would lose money.

Hu Tu naturally understood that even if it cost eight cents a catty, they didn't make any money.It's just that if he gave too high a price, it might give these villagers an illusion that the price of apples would increase, which would not be good for their future sales.

Hu Tu lowered the price a little, and said, "Why don't you just pay one yuan and five jins? This price is already very high now."

Aunt Tao was still dissatisfied, and again used the reason that the apples were of good quality to raise the price, and finally passed the weighing at a price of 1.55 yuan/Kg.

The family sold it at a high price, weighed it, and helped put the apples in their pockets, and then moved them into the car.Several people worked for more than an hour before moving the 2611Kg apples onto the carriage.Then they still kept on, loaded another 5 bags, moved them to the front seat, and added another 221Kg of weight.After working so hard, even though Hu Tu's health is much better than before, he still feels very tired.

In the end, the money was 4389.6 yuan, and Hu Tu gave them 4390 yuan. The elderly are not used to electronic payment, so Hu Tu gave them cash.

It was past noon, Hu Tu refused their persuasion, and drove away.Because the price Hu Tu offered was not low, Aunt Tao happily exchanged contact information with him, and asked him when he would come again.She also wanted to sell the apples at home again, so that the remaining half would be easy to deal with.As for the villagers who came to inquire, they were all dismissed by Aunt Tao. She only said that Hu Tu was introduced by her friend to prevent them from snatching Hu Tu at a low price.

Because Hu Tu himself didn't know when he would come back, so he didn't make a promise. He only said that he would come back when it was sold out. As for when it would be sold out, let Aunt Tao guess for herself!
