Chapter 446: Price is Not Low

Boss Qian couldn't wait to pick one and taste it!

He has been collecting fruit for many years, and hasn't seen such good quality! Old Wu's introduction is really reliable! But other families are also his seedlings, why haven't they seen such good ones?

At this moment, Boss Qian said sincerely: "Sister, your peach quality is indeed good! No need to say anything more, what three yuan? No sincerity! I'll give you this high price—4 yuan!"

It can be seen that Boss Wu's introduction of people is really two-way—knowing that his seedlings are good, the wholesaler introduced is reliable. And this wholesaler is also thick-hearted.

To tell the truth, ordinary peaches, this is indeed a high price in the fruit market now! If it were negotiated, looking at the scale of the peach trees in front of him, 100,000 yuan is stable.

It must be able to let this fruit farmer earn back the cost in one year.

But... 4 yuan a jin?

Little Secretary Zhu's face became strange.

Boss Qian thought they were dissatisfied, and at this moment said righteously: "You must not feel it's little! Go out and ask around, if it were local peaches now, someone would grab them for one yuan. I just see that your peaches are rarely planted here, and the quality is good, so I give such a high price!"

"Otherwise, it would be two or three yuan a jin at the place of origin."

The two inspection personnel looked at each other, but secretly nodded.

Because according to what they know, 4 yuan a jin is indeed a high wholesale price. If it is negotiated, looking at the scale of the peach trees in front of them, 100,000 yuan is stable.

It must be able to let this fruit farmer earn back the cost in one year.

Song Tan could only decline: "Let's not talk about the price first, after all, we haven't

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Boss Qian also reacted, fearing they were dissatisfied with the price, and also fearing that these peaches were just for show, so he hurriedly said: "Taste is the most important thing!"

He also stopped mentioning the price altogether.

Song Tan then handed the basket over: "Then shall we pick some to take back and taste first?"

"You two, if you want to inspect, please trouble our Secretary to help guide you. The area surrounded by the wire mesh is my 20-acre orchard; I'll pick two baskets of peaches here first."

As for the taste...

"Boss Qian, let's wait until we finish picking the peaches and go down the mountain, then wash them and taste them."

These eagle-beak peaches are fuzzy; you can't eat them without washing them.

Boss Qian really couldn't bear to leave such good peaches behind, so he diligently followed Song Tan to pick peaches—this work was also exceptionally simple.

At other places, you'd have to pick and choose based on size, but here, there were clusters of two or three on the branches in front of him; he just needed to twist them all off.

They grew so uniformly!

He was delighted, as if the peaches were already his:

"Little sister, your family really has a knack for growing fruit trees!"

Song Tan looked at him: "Be careful, there are melon vines on the ground; don't step on them."

The second batch of small melons on top were already the size of two fists; it would be a pity if they were stepped on.

Boss Qian became even more convinced that she had a secret trick; otherwise, how could the watermelons growing under these trees grow so well?

It was a pity; looking at it, the quantity of these watermelons wasn't large, otherwise, it wasn't like he couldn't sell them.

Meanwhile, Secretary Xiao Zhu was leading the two inspectors along the peach orchard at a leisurely pace, and the two were quite embarrassed: "We can just look by ourselves; it's really troubling you, the village secretary, to accompany us..."

... Although Secretary Xiao Zhu was a secretary, she didn't have a shred of bureaucratic air, and at this moment, she smiled with exceptional kindness:

"What's the trouble! You've seen it yourselves; our village is poor and dilapidated, and we don't even have the money to fix the road. It's not easy to have a promising family farm here, so I'm hoping they can grow and strengthen, earn more money, and look better. That way, I can paint a picture for the superiors and get this road fixed."

That was true.

Thinking of the bumpy and twisted mountain road they took to get here, the two also felt a lingering fear: "It should be fixed! We didn't dare to drive fast on this road; otherwise, we should have arrived much earlier."

Secretary Xiao Zhu then asked: "Since you two often go to the countryside for inspections, I wonder if you know any fruit wholesalers or the like? Could you help introduce one? Preferably one with some real strength."

Otherwise, Song Tan's peaches at 60 yuan per jin might be too expensive for small wholesalers to afford, or they might lack the courage to buy them.

The other party was taken aback.

Wasn't that Boss Qian here specifically to see the peaches?

Boss Qian was a big mouth; he had already made everything clear along the way.

They were also a bit puzzled: "With such a small orchard, can't he handle it by himself?" Was this wholesaler's financial foundation really that thin?

"That's not it."

Secretary Xiao Zhu gave a bitter smile: "These peaches are on the premium route, and the price isn't cheap. I'm afraid Boss Qian might find it too expensive and be unable to accept it."

"Oh, oh, oh!" The other party understood then.

Nowadays, when fruit takes the premium route, the prices vary, and there are indeed some wholesalers who can't swallow it all at once.

After all, once the fruit is in hand, it's not like you can make money immediately; small wholesalers always need someone to share some of the risk.

It's just that... they were inspecting whether the tree planting met the standards, and as for wholesalers, it seemed they really didn't know many.

"When we go down the mountain later, I'll make some contacts and help you inquire."

The other party was also being honest.

"Good, good, good. Thank you, thank you!"

Secretary Xiao Zhu laughed, then added with great enthusiasm and confidence: "Don't worry, the quality of this fruit is 100% guaranteed. If you don't believe me, stay for a simple meal at noon. I guarantee that after you eat, you'll wish you could take root here forever!"

This young village secretary didn't look old, but she was quite persuasive!

Why would they not want to leave after just one meal?

"Fine." The other party wasn't coy either; he picked up his phone to take a picture of the orchard and joked: "If it's really that delicious, once I upload the pictures, I'll help you urge the review process when I get back!"

Everyone was happy.

A 20-acre peach orchard isn't big, but it isn't small either.

After the three of them strolled around, the two large baskets were already full.

Don't let Boss Qian's thin and small appearance fool you; he has been going to the countryside to collect fruit for years, and his strength is not small!

At this moment, with a slight exertion, his two arms steadily held the large basket in front of his chest.

Seeing Song Tan wanting to carry it with one hand, he advised:

"Little sister, don't push yourself! You might be able to hold it in one go, but firstly, it's inconvenient to walk, and secondly, this posture hurts your lower back! It's better to use both hands if you can hold it."

Song Tan was stunned; she lifted her hand, stood up straight, and subconsciously, she was already holding the basket full of green peaches in her hand.

That posture was no different from carrying a small basket.

Boss Qian:... It was my mistake to speak; I shouldn't have underestimated the toughness and strength of a farm girl.

Song Tan also appreciated his kindness: "Good! Thank you for the reminder, Boss Qian. I'm just used to doing this work and didn't react in time... Come, come, since we're all back, let's go down the mountain to eat some watermelon, drink some tea, and take a rest."

"And taste the flavor of these peaches while we're at it."

Looking at Boss Qian again, she said meaningfully: "Boss Qian, be prepared. The pricing for my peaches is really not low!"
