Chapter 995: Price of Cabbage and Radishes

~8 min read 1,404 words

The firewood stove had a strong fire. Zhou Maozhu had just peeled and cut the radishes and found a plate to put them in. On this side, only a "sizzle" was heard, the lard was heated until it was hot, and then the cabbage went into the pot.

Li Lanhua sniffed: "Oh my, no wonder Song Tan's vegetables sell so expensively. You smell this cabbage, the taste is just fragrant!"

"Yes!" Zhou Maozhu also smelled it. At this moment, she was rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find a toothpick, and at the same time praised: "This radish is also tender. Don't sell it all later, leave two for me to taste."

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh, and muttered to her husband in the kitchen: "Just smelling this taste, I guess it can really sell for three yuan!"

But what they didn't know was that the price Song Tan offered was 5 yuan, and Secretary Xiao Zhu was purely to prevent everyone's psychological expectations from being too high.

Now Old Zhao looked at the plate in front of him and hurriedly greeted everyone: "Come, let's taste it together and see if this high value is worth it?"

Everyone didn't stand on ceremony and reached out one after another.

Sitting in the cold courtyard early in the morning eating equally cold radishes, the taste wasn't very pleasant.

But this radish had high water content, and it was crisp and sweet when it entered the mouth, and only when it was swallowed did it bring out a hint of spiciness unique to radishes... Even if it was ice-cold, it wouldn't hide its good taste.

Tasting it like this, five yuan was really worth it!

"Good, good, good!" She agreed fully!

The next moment, Zhou Maozhu, who knew nothing, came out of the kitchen with a plate, clutching a handful of chopsticks:

In other words, just the radishes alone could bring in nearly ten thousand yuan!

"No need, no need." After tasting the radishes, Old Zhao had great confidence in the cabbage. At this moment, he waved his hand and was the first to pick up his chopsticks and start eating.

Radish leaves are quite heavy when they get old.

Calculating 1500 jin of radishes at a unit price of 5.5 is over 8000, and the leaves are two yuan a jin——

And Old Zhou, who was close by, asked curiously: "How much of this radish did my family plant?"

Only Old Zhu and the others smacked their lips, picking fault: "Still much worse than what we ate yesterday."

And everyone also unceremoniously reached out with their chopsticks to taste, and at this moment nodded along: "The taste is really good!"

"Radishes are 4.5 yuan a jin, are you collecting?"

"Right, I'll collect yours today first. After selling out in two days, I'll go to other families in the village to collect."

"How many jin of leaves does one radish produce?"

"Auntie, you'd better help Uncle Zhou pull the radishes first, radishes are 5 cents more expensive than cabbage."

"I thought you wanted to taste the flavor, so I used lard to stir-fry it, and didn't add any other seasonings besides salt..."

After thinking about it, she said: "Let the radish leaves dry in the dew, pick out the yellow leaves and old leaves that can't be eaten, and I'll collect the rest for two yuan a jin."

The people who came were not ignorant of people's livelihood. At this moment, a calculation in their hearts could lead to the price——

For the farmers in the village, it was indeed a very large income!

What kind of price is 5 yuan a jin for cabbage? The cabbage in our town is almost hitting 2.5 cents! Not to mention just picking off some normal old leaves, even if you only want leaves and not stems, isn't that money for nothing?

After all, they are fruit and vegetable types, and there are sour and sweet ones on the same tree, not to mention the radishes in the field.

After all, Song Tan's things had a fixed price in the later period, and she didn't limit it for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to earn so much money!

Zhou Maozhu: ……!!!

Old Zhou quickly balanced the accounts in his heart.

Wang Jing thought about it: "Look at the size of the radish. For example, the smallest radish just taken is over 6 jin, and the leaves should be about two or three jin after picking."

She stood up and greeted everyone: "Go, go, go, it's too cold, let's go back and roast the fire, Teacher Tang said we'll make candied oranges today."

You know, this point is especially rare, but if the packaging slogan is put out, this jin of radish can double several times.

And Song Tan dropped the toothpick and asked Old Zhao decisively:

But he had also been a vegetable vendor for many years and knew the impact of this price on farmers, so he nodded patiently:

Wang Jing smiled, and pointed her hand into the courtyard:

I chewed slowly, the sweetness and crispness of the cabbage became more obvious under the stimulation of hot oil, and even the finely chopped vegetable stems had rich juice.

"Go, go!" Secretary Xiao Zhu urged him: "We are just here to join in the fun, don't worry about us, go do your work!"

She thought about it, and asked carefully: "What if I boil another portion of cabbage soup?"

"It was agreed at the time that these might be sold at a high price, so everyone planted them... This family should be able to collect one or two thousand jin of radishes, and cabbage is about the same."

Wang Jing looked at everyone with anticipation, and Old Zhao gave the answer directly: "Cabbage is 5 yuan a jin, I need you to peel off the old leaves that are really not decent before weighing."

I watched everyone eating radishes with a crisp sound, and couldn't help but salivate, just about to reach out and take a piece to taste the flavor, but saw that the plate in front of me was already empty.

Li Lanhua was surprised and stupid: "Is it really that price?"

"Hmm..."

This is not the grassy smell of green vegetables, but has a unique style.

After thinking about it, she added: "Please don't spread this price, otherwise I'm afraid someone will make up the numbers. If my customers buy fake ones later, we won't be able to do business in the future."

Oh my god, there are radish leaves too?!

Secretary Xiao Zhu hadn't been so detailed, so she could only look at Song Tan.

Old Du also nodded in agreement: "But it's slightly better than what we eat down the mountain. Down the mountain, there are only a few times when the taste is exceptionally good."

"Okay!" I nodded decisively, and then looked at Li Lanhua: "I don't want the variety from your own home, I want the ones transplanted from Wang Jing's home, 5.5 a jin, washed clean, and wiped dry."

"I understand, I understand!" Li Lanhua nodded repeatedly, and then stood up with her hands and feet in the wrong place, and asked excitedly:

"Then... then you sit first, I'll go pull the radishes?"

Hiss!

After collecting it and setting a price of 12.8 to sell as fruit radishes, there was no pressure at all.

Li Lanhua didn't know if they were also purchasing agents. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking that 3 yuan wasn't enough, 2 yuan, 2.5 yuan should be fine, right?

This is 5 cents more expensive than originally planned, but Old Zhao felt it was worth it. Who would sell this thing as a vegetable!

Old Zhao thought to himself, Song Tan brought me here specially, could I not know if this thing is worth it?

She looked around the courtyard and couldn't help but mutter again: "Where did that person run off to again?" Doing business, such a big thing, why isn't Li Lanhua here?

Secretary Xiao Zhu explained: "The best planter in our village is Song Tan, and these varieties were all picked by her. In the autumn, as long as people in the village go to the field to help for two days, they can get a pile of radish seedlings and cabbage seedlings." ===== CHAPTER 996 =====
