Leisurely mountain village

Chapter 71 Fruit is a Hit

"Don't worry about that. I'll definitely earn more than you and Mom. Don't fret. With such a big mountain to rely on, how could I possibly be poor? That's ridiculous," Ye Huan laughed.

Just take that 800-year-old wild ginseng, if it were sold, how much could it fetch? Enough to make a living lying down?

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing. We can save whatever we can afford for my grandson." Ye Huan's mother stopped talking, knowing that her son was now capable.

"Xiao Huan told you to spend the money, so spend it. Isn't your son filial? I've never seen my son be filial to me." The old man's words killed the conversation.

Ye Huan suppressed a laugh and added a piece of braised pork to Jingjing's plate. It was made from pork belly from a pig raised in the mountains, and Jingjing especially loved it; she had already eaten her fifth piece.

"Xiao Huan, you eat by yourself. Jing Jing has already eaten several. If you eat any more, you'll get fat," Bai Jie said.

"It's alright, Jingjing is too thin. It's okay if she eats more. She looks better with a little bit of meat on her bones. It's not good for a child to be too thin," Ye Huan said with a smile, adding another piece for her and eating one for herself.

"It's delicious, thank you, Uncle." Jingjing, her mouth full of oil, looked up at Ye Huan and said.

"Mmm. If it's delicious, eat more."

“Your fifth uncle agreed. I’ll deliver fresh ones every day and bring back any that aren’t sold. Today I delivered 100 pears and 100 peaches,” Ye Dafa said.

"Okay, you decide what to do. I told you, you and Mom can keep this money. I'm really rich."

"Okay, I've already talked to Fifth Brother. We'll keep selling until the New Year. After the New Year, you need to reorganize things and see how the negotiations go. If it sells well, I'll reserve some stock for his fruit shop, though I can't guarantee how much," Ye Dafu nodded and added.

"That's fine. It's only right to take care of family. But in a county town, it might not be easy to accept such high-end fruit," Ye Huan said. "We can just water more fruit trees."

"Yes, I told him they were 80 each, and he was shocked," Ye Dafa laughed.

While they were eating, Ye Dana's fruit shop prominently displayed 200 pieces of fruit with a large sign that read "Pure Natural Organic Fruit".

"Boss, this pear looks good, how much is it?" a middle-aged woman asked, picking up a pear.

"Hello, these just arrived today, they're 80 each." Ye Dana wasn't sure either.

"Oh? So expensive? Is it really that good?" The beautiful woman wasn't scared at all; she just asked.

"Purely natural and organically grown, without any pesticides, and irrigated with mountain spring water. We support inspection." Ye Dana repeated Ye Dafa's words.

"Hey, this is a pear?" Another younger woman walked over, picked up a pear, looked at it, and smelled it.

"A fruit platter from Gu Family Cuisine? Boss, can I open one and take a look?" she asked.

“Sure~” Ye Dana nodded. Dafa had said that he could let people open it and try it, so it was on him.

Then he cut open a pear and a peach, and a unique fragrance wafted into everyone's noses.

"Yes, it's the fruit platter from Gu Family Cuisine, haha, boss, give me twenty of each. Do you have gift boxes? I'd like to pack them in." the young woman said.

"Yes, yes." Ye Dana was stunned. 80 yuan for a pear and a peach, and this woman didn't even haggle, she bought 40, and just like that, she got 3200 yuan? When did the fruit business become so easy?

After packing four boxes for the young woman, she simply scanned the QR code to pay and left.

The middle-aged woman listened to the whole thing, then made a phone call and said, "Give me 30 of the same kind, in a gift box."

"Okay, okay." Ye Dana was already numb, but he knew that Dafa's fruit seemed to be quite famous in the county. He knew about Gu's cuisine, but he had never eaten it. First, he couldn't get an appointment, and second, he really couldn't afford it. He heard that even a simple stir-fried vegetable dish cost 388 yuan.

He earned another 4800. Half of the stock was sold out, so his commission was 2000, which was more than his daily turnover.

The people picking out other fruits listened to the two wealthy people. They didn't understand, but they would call and ask. Then, one person bought five, another bought eight, and the remaining 98 fruits were all sold out in half an hour.

Ye Dafa was talking to Ye Huan about fruit at the dinner table when the phone rang. He saw it was Da Na and answered it.

"Fifth Brother, what's the matter?"

"Dafa, do you still have any fruit? Send some more, it's selling like hotcakes, lots of people are asking about it," Da Na said incoherently.

"What? These 200 pieces of fruit that were just delivered this morning are all gone? They were sold for 80 each? You didn't lower the price, did you?" Dafa asked.

"How could that be? They didn't even ask the price, they just asked if we had any in stock, if we had any at home. Don't wait until tomorrow, deliver it if you have any, it's all money."

"Okay, I understand. I'll bring it to you in a bit." Ye Dafa hung up the phone, still in a daze.

Ye Huan smiled and said, "It's settled."

"Xiao Huan, how much more do you think is appropriate?" Ye Dafa asked.

"Let's make it 300. We'll control the quantity each day. If there's too much, it won't be worth much. Besides, not everyone can afford this price. Starting tomorrow, it'll be 300 a day. Make sure you explain that to Uncle Wu," Ye Huan said.

"Hunger marketing?" Ye Dafa said.

"That's nothing. Think about it, a family of five, spending three or four hundred on a single fruit meal, who would be willing to spend that much?" Ye Huan laughed.

Ye Dafa nodded, seemingly understanding yet not quite, but he knew that following his son's arrangements would be the right thing to do.

"Today is the first day, and everyone came because of the reputation. I don't think we can sell out even 300 tomorrow," Ye Huan said before eating.

Ye Dafa hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then set off with two large baskets of fruit. This was all money; he could earn 60 yuan per fruit, so 500 fruits would be 30,000 yuan. He couldn't bear to part with it.

Ye Huan didn't stop him, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

Ye Huan's mother and Bai Jie listened calmly from the sidelines, already used to it. They paid 50 yuan to the restaurant each, and watermelons used to be 1500 yuan each.

Manager Du had heard about the fruit shop from acquaintances, and she knew that Ye's fruit was now in season in large quantities, but she really couldn't eat that much, so she didn't say anything.

It wasn't until someone asked her if she could help him buy some wholesale that she belatedly realized the Ye family's fruit had become a hit.

However, after making the call, Ye Huan did not agree to wholesale, nor next year. He will still mainly supply hotels with vegetables, which is a stable long-term strategy. Manager Du knows that next year's prices will definitely not be the same as the current prices.

Now Ye Huan's vegetables and fruits are famous in the county and even the city. It's impossible for everyone in the village and the shop to keep quiet.

Manager Du couldn't prevent this from happening, but fortunately someone contacted Ye Huan and, knowing that things were going on like this for the year, said some nice things and suggested cooperating next year.

Please keep urging me to update! Thank you!
