Chapter 332 Selling Lychees

"Ah Sheng, what are you writing?"

Mother Tang looked curiously at her son writing something on a piece of paper with a brush, then leaned over to take a look, and read:

"Fresh lychees, if you want to eat them yourself, pay with integrity, ten yuan per catty!"

After finishing reading, Mother Tang asked in surprise, "Are our lychees ripe?"

"Yes, I went to the reservoir today and saw that the lychees I planted last year are already ripe... The new varieties of lychees mature earlier!"

"It's so powerful, it's more than a month earlier than normal lychee, what kind of lychee is this?"

"I forgot. At that time people said it was a new variety, so I bought it and planted it... But this lychee looks very good now, with many fleshy cores and small, and very sweet..."

Father Tang interjected, "But isn't ten yuan a catty too expensive?"

Tang's father's words are not unreasonable. According to the previous situation, the price of lychees in Guangxi Province is so low that no one wants it for a dollar a catty. Many people are too lazy to pick them from trees. Then the value doubles, and you can buy it for four or five yuan a catty. If you can sell it to the north, it will be another price, and it can reach seven or eight yuan or even more than ten yuan a catty!
Still, why is this the case?In addition to the freight, it is because the storage time of lychee is too short. Bai Juyi's "Lychee Picture Preface" has a saying: "If you leave the original branch, the color will change in one day, the fragrance will change in two days, the taste will change in three days, and the taste will change in four or five days. In addition, the color and smell are all gone." Although there are various insurance methods, the most common way is to put the lychees in ice cubes and freeze them, but this is very expensive, and the loss rate of transporting them to the north is also very high. It is simply not worth the loss!

"Ten yuan a catty is not expensive at all. This is still a friendly price. Dad, don't you forget how much our vegetables cost?"

50 yuan a catty, how could you forget this?At that time, when the price spread, I don’t know how much the villagers caused a sensation. It just gradually subsided during this period of time, but those villages farther away from Lihonghe Village thought it was a joke when they heard that a catty of green vegetables was sold for 50 yuan!
Mother Tang said: "This lychee ripens early, and now it's a good market, what's the matter with selling it for ten yuan a catty? Listen to Ah Sheng..."

Well, my mother is biased and choked Father Tang so much that he didn't know what to say, but she just said, "I didn't say no..."

Tang Shenyuan: "Mom and Dad, I picked some lychees and put them in the refrigerator. Try it and see if it's worth ten yuan a catty!"

As he said that, he took out the lychees and gave them to his parents to taste. They are old farmers. I don’t know how many lychees they have eaten. As soon as they ate the lychees that their son gave him, their eyes lit up immediately. Looking at those lychees Each one is about the same size, neat in shape, and has a lovely red shell. What's more rare is that the meat is multi-core, small, thin-skinned, and tastes very sweet.

Mother Tang: "Well, this lychee is so good... Hey, why does it feel like I've finished eating our vegetables... My whole body feels light..."

"Three fires for one lychee... I think you are on fire!"

Tang's father attacked from the side.

But when Tang Shenyuan heard what his mother said, he immediately looked at his mother with admiration. He could taste all of them... These lychees and those vegetables are all watered by spring water, and there is spiritual energy in them. Of course, there is a kind of lightness after eating. Hurry up!

"Ten yuan a catty for such a good lychee is too little, I think 50 yuan a catty is about the same..."

"This……"

Mother Tang gave her husband a blank look, and said to her son, "Ah Sheng, we have this lychee right now, and the others haven't ripened yet. It's a good market and our lychee is so good, the price can't be lowered!"

Tang Shenyuan nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "I agree with what my mother said before, but I don't think it's necessary to raise the price later... Those tourists finally came to our Honghe Village to let them eat our food. The lychees in Honghe Village are also good... and it's almost all free money, they pick us by themselves without labor and cost..."

There is one more thing Tang Shenyuan didn't say, that is, our family is not short of money now. To be honest, Tang Shenyuan is really not short of money for selling lychees, just to make fun of it.

"Forget it, make up your mind!"

……

In the afternoon, people in Honghe Village were discussing a lot, almost all pointing at the sign hanging on the side of the reservoir——

"Ten yuan a catty, isn't it too expensive, and you have to pick it yourself?"

"Pick it yourself, it doesn't matter how much you eat under the tree, A Sheng doesn't even know how to count..."

"Wow, Brother Tang finally spoke. I've been waiting for a long time. I've been coveting Litchi for a long time!"

"Ten yuan a catty? It doesn't seem to be expensive. The lychees are not ripe yet, so it's not too outrageous to sell them for ten yuan! Okay, I have to pick a few catties... I haven't eaten lychees for more than a year." Yes, I miss it so much!"

"Haha, it's great to pick the fruit by yourself! I haven't climbed a tree for a long time!"

"Are you sure you can climb trees that are not as tall as you?"

"..."

Whether they are from Honghe Village or nearby villages, or tourists who come to Honghe Village, they are very excited, because they have seen those lovely lychees for a long time, and today they can finally eat them!

Because of Tang Shenyuan's special status in Honghe Village, even the poor children in the village dare not steal lychees and eat them. You must know that these are the most mischievous guys. Tang Shenyuan used to go everywhere with his friends to steal from the villagers Eat fruit... But they dare not steal the fruit from Brother Asheng's house, because their parents have told them in every possible way not to steal from Brother Asheng. If you are really hungry, I will give you a few dollars to buy snacks... …

Tang Shenyuan also wondered why the fruits hanging on his fruit trees were so intact, even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't know why?
"Brother Asheng, is it really okay for you to sell like this? Will you lose money?"

"Why are you here, fourth brother? Is the restaurant at home not busy?"

It was Tang Guang'an who came, and he said to Tang Shenyuan: "You have hundreds of lychee trees, if you pick them like this, they will disappear within a few days..."

"It's gone, it's gone, those cherries will be ripe in a few days..."

Tang Shenyuan handed Tang Guangan a lychee in his hand——

"Fourth brother, try it too..."

"Well, yes, this is the best lychee I've ever eaten. Ten yuan a catty is a bit of a loss!"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you lose or not. Have you ever seen anyone here who sells lychees for ten yuan a catty?"

Tang Guang'an thought for a while and said, "It's really not. In the past, it was one or two yuan a catty. The cheap ones can't be cheap... Haha, but it's because of the cheap prices that those children can eat with their stomachs open!"

Tang Shenyuan frowned and said, "So, ten yuan a catty is the most reasonable!"

Tang Shenyuan and the others watched the tourists carrying bamboo baskets to the lychee tree to pick the best lychees they thought. Of course, these bamboo baskets were produced by the bamboo products factory in Honghe Village.

Some people couldn't help peeling one to eat. Once they ate it, they couldn't help admiring and enjoying themselves. At this time, they also felt that ten yuan a catty was a good deal, and they speeded up the picking speed. Originally, they only wanted to buy A few catties quietly increased the purchase amount...
