Chapter 23 Loquats Yuan per Catty
Yang Fan distributed a whole basket of loquats to the grandparents, uncles and aunts in the village. After eating the loquats she gave, everyone said they were delicious.
After delivering the gift, she went to the mountain and picked a basket of loquats. After picking, she returned home, took out the pen, ink and yellow paper she had bought earlier, drew a talisman for Li Kangping, and folded the talisman.
Then she took the scale from home, carried the basket of loquats on her back, took a small stool, and asked Grandpa Li to take her to town.
Grandpa Li had already learned about Li Kangping from Grandma Xu, and knew that Yang Fan was really a capable person. On the way, he curiously asked her, "Yang Fan, where did you learn all these skills?"
Yang Fan replied, "I learned all this from the Taoist priests at Sanqing Palace."
So that's how it is. Grandpa Li is not surprised anymore.
"Before, your uncle sent you to Sanqing Palace," Grandpa Li said with emotion, "At that time, we thought your uncle was crazy. He didn't let you go to school and sent you there for what purpose."
"Hey, I didn't expect you to actually learn some real skills!"
"Oh, yes."
There was a hint of surprise in Yang Fan's eyes. His original body had lived in Sanqing Palace before, so why did he have no memory of that period?
She lowered her head, looking thoughtful. When Yang Xiuwen picked up the express, she would also ask him about this matter.
I just don't know how long the delivery will take.
The car quickly drove to the town, and Yang Fan first went to the courier to send the amulet to Li Kangping.
Then she went to set up a stall to sell loquats. She set up the stall on the street outside the vegetable market. There were people from nearby villages selling vegetables, fruits and some small items outside, so her stall did not look out of place.
Yang Fan first went to a nearby store to buy a bunch of bags, and asked for a piece of cardboard. He wrote a sentence on it with a brush - Shangyuan Village's finest loquats, one hundred yuan per pound.
Finally, she inserted the cardboard into the backpack and sat on the small stool, and her stall was a success.
Grandpa Li hadn’t left yet. He was shocked when he saw that she wrote that loquats cost one hundred yuan per pound.
"Yang Fan, you want to sell loquats for 100 yuan per pound?!"
"Well, 100 yuan a pound is a bit cheap," Yang Fan said, "but let's build up the brand first, so we'll sell it at this price first."
Grandpa Li: "..." Do you mean you think you sell it too cheaply? !
An uncle who was selling vegetables nearby laughed and said, "Little sister, loquats are 100 yuan a pound, you can obviously just grab them."
Who in this small town would buy loquats for 100 yuan a pound? Unless they are crazy
Grandpa Li advised, "Yang Fan, you are selling too expensive. Others are selling for more than ten yuan per pound. You should sell at the same price as others."
"No, my loquats are better than theirs, so they're worth the price."
Yang Fan sat on the small stool calmly, "Grandpa Li, go ahead and do your work. I can sell the loquats."
Grandpa Li complained in his heart that it would be impossible to sell such expensive loquats.
Alas, this child still has no life experience.
She'll know once she tries it.
Seeing that she insisted, Grandpa Li stopped persuading her.
"Okay, I'll go first. Call me when you get back."
"it is good."
After Grandpa Li left, the stall owners around her saw the price she wrote and kindly advised her to change the price and not sell it at such a high price.
The vegetable seller across the street advised her, "Little sister, this is your first time selling loquats, right? Loquats in fruit stores are only around 15 yuan per pound now."
"You can't sell it at this price."
"Hey~ Are these loquats from Uehara Village?"
The aunt noticed the words "Uehara Village" written on her, and her expression became even weirder. "Little girl, have you been cheated?"
“Loquats from Uehara Village?”
The middle-aged man who said Yang Fan robbed the money turned his head and took a look. It was indeed the words "Shangyuan Village Loquat". He said, "Little girl, don't sell it. Even dogs don't eat the loquats in Shangyuan Village. Who would buy them?"
The words "Uehara Village" attracted the attention of the people around. It was already a household name in the town that the land in Uehara Village could not grow anything edible.
There were even loquats from Shangyuan Village for sale, priced at one hundred yuan per pound. People around him looked at Yang Fan as if he were a fool.
"Little girl, have you been deceived? How come you are able to get loquats from the original village to sell?"
"Yes, you must have been deceived."
Faced with everyone's doubts and disgust, Yang Fan did not get angry. She gave a loquat to each of the people setting up stalls around her.
"Try it, you will definitely not think it's expensive after you try it."
Yang Fan also peeled a loquat and ate it.
After peeling the loquat, the sweet loquat aroma immediately floats in the air. Just by smelling the aroma, you know that this is the right loquat.
Looking at Yang Fan eating loquat, he looked very enjoyable.
The people around looked at each other and peeled the loquat to taste it.
Apart from anything else, this loquat looks really good, big and round.
The uncle next to Yang Fan said, "I want to see how delicious these loquats that cost 100 yuan per pound are."
After peeling the loquat and taking a bite, everyone's expression changed instantly.
This loquat is so delicious!
With a delicate texture, fresh and juicy, this is the most delicious loquat they have ever tasted!
A large loquat was eaten in just two bites, and everyone's expression was filled with aftertaste.
"Little girl, is this really a loquat from Uehara Village?"
The uncle next to me was a little bit unconvinced that such delicious loquats actually came from Uehara Village.
Yang Fan nodded. "Yes, this is my loquat. My family lives in Shangyuan Village."
Everyone was shocked again that there were such delicious loquats in Uehara Village!
"Didn't they say that nothing edible can grow in Uehara Village?"
"Oh, didn't they say there was nothing wrong with it? It might just be the wrong timing."
"Too."
The older generation tended to believe in mysterious things, and they quickly found things that could not grow in the fields in Shangyuan Village.
"Although your loquat is delicious, the price is too expensive."
The uncle next to him looked a little distressed, "One hundred yuan per pound, this is not something that ordinary people can afford."
"Yes, yes, little sister, sell it at a lower price so we can all buy some."
"You sell it at such a high price, no one can afford it!"
One hundred yuan per pound of fruit is too expensive for people in this small town where the average monthly income is only about two thousand yuan.
One hundred yuan is enough for a family of three to buy groceries for two or three days.
Yang Fan remained silent. One hundred yuan per pound for such spiritual fruits was a very reasonable price.
She checked and found that there were loquats being sold on the market for more than 100 yuan per pound, so the price she set was not too expensive.
But for a small town with a backward economy, it is indeed a bit expensive.
She thought for a moment, took the brush she brought with her, and revised some prices.
Shangyuan Village’s premium loquats: 66 yuan per catty, 120 yuan for two catties.
