Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"I am prepared to collect as much as I have."

Hearing this, Uncle Li couldn't help being startled:

"Hey, your business is really big!"

He originally thought that Zhao Zhuo was just here to play and buy some pears, but now he realized that Zhao Zhuo was here to purchase a large amount.

Understanding this, Uncle Li couldn't help but said with some embarrassment:

"Basically all the pears in our village have been ordered out now. I'm afraid the next batch will have to wait until a few months later, and we can no longer receive bulk purchases."

Zhao Zhuo nodded helplessly after hearing this:

"Okay, thank you uncle, I'll go look for it again."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo was ready to leave.

Just when Zhao Zhuo turned around and was about to leave, Uncle Li suddenly thought of something:

"Hey, young man, wait a minute."

Zhao Zhuo turned around with some doubts:

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Uncle Li thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly:

"There is still a batch of pears in our village that have not been ordered out."

When he heard that there were pears, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but his eyes lit up:

"More? How many more?"

Uncle Li replied:

"The quantity is quite large, and the price is cheaper. However, there may be some problems."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but frowned:

"What's the problem? Is it rotten?"

Uncle Li quickly shook his head:

"No, no, we definitely won't sell it if it's rotten. But... why don't you come with me to have a look? It's not far, just to the east of the village."

Something is better than nothing. Zhao Zhuo nodded and took Uncle Li into the car. Under his guidance, he zigzagged to a pear orchard.

When he stopped the car at the entrance of Liyuan, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but was stunned:

"So big?"

The pear orchard in front of me was so huge that I couldn't even see it at a glance.

From a visual inspection, tens of thousands of catties is a small amount. I estimate it should be as small as a hundred thousand catties!

Sure enough, Uncle Li pointed at the pear orchard in front of him and said:

"This is about 20 acres in total. If everything goes well, we can produce a yield of about 100,000 kilograms."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but become confused:

"Then why haven't these pears been ordered?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li did not answer directly, but took Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun to a pear tree.

At this time, the pear tree is already full of fruits, and you can touch the fruits just by raising your hand.

Uncle Li picked a pear casually, then brought it to Zhao Zhuo and showed him:

"How about it? Can you see the problem?"

Zhao Zhuo took the pear and looked at it carefully. He found that it was not rotten or scarred, and it looked fine, so he shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Li took another pear from the car that he had just brought from the sales point. He put the two together and compared them, and then asked:

"Can you see the problem now?"

Zhao Zhuo compared the two and discovered that the pear here was smaller, only two-thirds the size of the other pear.

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"A little too small."

Uncle Li smiled bitterly:

"This pear orchard is the public property of our village, so everyone doesn't take care of it. In addition, there was some problem during the powdering process, which resulted in the pears here being smaller than the authentic pointed pears, and

The taste is also more astringent.”

When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he understood the reason for Uncle Li's hesitation just now.

Jianbazi pear has always been famous as Anshan's business card.

Therefore, Uncle Li was embarrassed to recommend this kind of pears to others because they were not of very good quality.

Zhao Zhuo picked up two pears and took a bite of each. Sure enough, there was some difference in taste, but overall the difference was not big.

Zhang Yun also picked it up and took a bite each, and then said with some regret:

"This piece of pear is indeed a bit astringent, but it should be better if it can be canned."

Hearing this, Uncle Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"This girl is really smart. If these pears are made into cans, they will indeed cover up the astringent taste. And compared to the authentic sharp pears, these pears can be stored for a longer period of time."

Zhao Zhuo asked with a smile:

"Then why not sell these pears to a cannery? It's better than rotting in the ground."

Uncle Li smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"Hey, that was our original plan, but the cannery found that the sales of canned pears were not good, so they didn't want to buy it!

We even raised the price to 50 cents per pound, but they didn’t even charge us!”

As he spoke, Uncle Li picked another pear and said with some regret:

"Actually, if this pear is stored for a few more days, the taste will be almost the same as that of an authentic pointed pear.

But the problem is, people can’t pick the pears back and wait for a few days, so they don’t like them.”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked straight at Uncle Li and asked:

"Uncle Li, what did you just say?"

When Uncle Li saw Zhao Zhuo's expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"I said...if this pear is stored for a few days, the taste will be almost the same as that of an authentic sharp pear."

Zhao Zhuo quickly asked:

"How many days?"

"It has to be kept for five or six days, so many people think it takes a long time and are not willing to take it once they hear it."

“Will it get ugly after five or six days?”

Uncle Li quickly shook his head:

"This is definitely not the case! I can guarantee that it will look the same in five or six days as it does now!"

After listening to Uncle Li's introduction, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If you are transporting fruits from Fengtian to the Soviet Union, durability is a necessary condition.

In particular, this kind of food becomes more delicious the more you put it in. It is a burden to others, but it is a great advantage to Zhao Zhuo.

"Uncle Li, you just said that these pears cost 50 cents per catty?"

Uncle Li nodded:

"That's right, authentic top-quality pears cost one or two yuan per catty. This batch will be sold for fifty cents! As long as we can sell them, that's fine."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhang Yun and asked her opinion.

Zhang Yun said:

"This batch of 100,000 kilograms only costs 50,000 yuan to buy. I think we can give it a try."

Even if this batch of pears really doesn't work or the business is not as easy as Zhao Zhuo thought, after all, the cost of trial and error is not high.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo made up his mind:

"Okay, let's try it!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo looked at Uncle Li:

"Uncle, I own this pear orchard. Please arrange for people to pick it as soon as possible."

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Uncle Li suddenly showed a surprised expression:

"That's great! I didn't expect your business to be so big, young man!"

This pear orchard is the public property of the village. If it can be sold, the 50,000 yuan will be divided equally among everyone. Uncle Li will naturally be very happy.

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"One hundred thousand catties is not much, it is just a test of the water. If the quality of our sharp pears is really good, we can continue to cooperate in the future."

Uncle Li couldn't help but secretly sighed when he heard that the output of 100,000 kilograms was just a test.
