After I Picked Up the Immortal Bottle

Chapter 7 Tangerines sell well

The big yellow dog wagged its tail triumphantly, and threw the killed rabbit in front of Li Zhe.

Li Zhe stretched out his hand and patted it on the head: "Yes, I will go back at noon and get you rabbit meat."

He was extremely surprised. It was a dream for a local dog to catch rabbits. People in the mountains needed to use tricks to catch rabbits. In the past, Li Zhe's father would also get this thing when he had time, so he could often eat it.

Now, even the big yellow dog at home can catch rabbits.

Hearing the praise, the big yellow dog wagged its tail even more happily, and the big Tibetan mastiff behind him also stuck out its tongue, staring at the rabbit on the ground sideways. This guy must be hungry. If it weren't for the big yellow dog and Li Zhe beside him, he might just They ate it raw.

All morning, Li Zhe was watering orange trees with buckets of water purified in jade bottles, and watered almost twenty of them.

When I went back at noon, I found that the first few orange trees that were watered had obvious changes.

The tangerine leaves were green and shiny, and became full of life. The small tangerines hanging on them had become significantly larger, almost reaching a size that could be sold.

I reached out to pick one, and just peeled off the skin, a refreshing fragrance wafted out, making people salivate.

Breaking apart the yellow orange petals, Li Zhe stuffed one petal into his mouth and crushed it, the indescribable freshness exploded in his mouth, sweet and sour, the perfect taste ratio made him feel refreshed It's upside down.

"I'm going, it's so delicious!"

Li Zhe swore he had never eaten such a delicious orange!

He swallowed the whole orange in two or three bites, picked off several in a row and ate them all, looked up at the rhubarb and Tibetan mastiff who looked up at him with drooling eyes, and threw a few petals to them as well.

"The oranges on the market are all small and sour. There are no such delicious oranges. If they are sold in the market, they will be absolutely expensive and popular. An orange tree has about four to five hundred small oranges. , about one hundred catties, if it sells for five yuan per catty, no, such delicious oranges should sell for ten yuan, and each one can sell for one thousand!"

Li Zhe made some calculations, and his heart suddenly became hot.

Selling wild ginseng and roses made him a lot of money, but this kind of income is not long-lasting. It goes without saying that wild ginseng is hard to find. Roses are easy to buy and can be watered and transformed with jade bottles, but customers The source is a big problem, so the management of orchards, vegetable fields, fish ponds, etc. is fundamental.

After returning home for a quick meal at noon, Li Zhe ran to the orange field again.

He used a jade bottle to purify the water and irrigated all the fruit trees. His parents took care of the fish pond all day, so no one noticed how he was struggling.

When the mountain was about to fall in the afternoon, Li Zhe started picking oranges. He picked seven or eight hundred catties of oranges in one go, put them all into bamboo baskets, put them on a flatbed cart, and pushed them to his home down the mountain.

The oranges were expected to take more than a month to ripen, so his parents were very angry when they knew that he had picked so many oranges. When they saw the plump and attractive oranges in the bamboo baskets, they were all surprised.

...

The next day, Li Zhe refused his father's help, drove the family's small broken van alone, and brought baskets of oranges to the morning market in the county.

The farmer's market in the morning market was crowded with people. He used to come here often to sell things. He was familiar with the road. He found a good place on the side of the street, stopped and started to move oranges to the ground to set up a stall.

There was a tricycle selling fruit on the opposite side, and there were also oranges in it. The young stall owner gave Li Zhe a very unfriendly look.

Li Zhe saw that the oranges on his stall were obviously shed goods, and they were small in size, making money by relying on out-of-seasons. There was also a cardboard next to it that said 'oranges 8 yuan/jin', and he was overjoyed.

Those broken oranges sell for eight yuan, isn't it appropriate to sell your own oranges for more than ten yuan?

After removing a few bamboo baskets, Li Zhe sat in the van and played with his mobile phone. He was so confident about his oranges.

"You two don't move, just stay there!"

The two silly dogs in the car who were brought out because they were worried wanted to poke their heads out of the car, but were slapped back by Li Zhe.

The big yellow dog tilted its head innocently, stuck out its tongue to please, and sniffed its nose from time to time, as if it was very hungry. The same is true for Tibetan mastiffs. Li Zhe came out in a hurry in the morning, so he didn't feed them well, but only fed them water.

Li Zhe peeled an orange and threw it to them, when he heard a voice in the car: "Hey, young man, how do you sell these oranges?"

Li Zhe got out of the car as soon as he heard that the business was coming, and said with a smile, "Oranges cost 15 yuan a catty. They are grown at home. They are very sweet. You can try them."

Upon hearing the price, the two aunts who walked up to the stall immediately stared: "Fifteen a catty, why don't you grab the money? I just bought it the day before yesterday, and it costs five yuan a catty..."

Especially seeing the image of Li Zhe, wearing a straw hat, flip-flops, shorts and sweatshirt, a typical image of a farmer in a rural village, I felt even more contemptuous in my heart, muttering: "The bumpkins are crazy about money."

Li Zhe rolled his eyes, he didn't buy it if he didn't buy it, why did he say so much? He didn't bother to explain to them how unusual his orange was.

"Oranges, eight yuan for oranges, come and have a look, it's cheap and delicious! It's not a scam!"

When the young man at the opposite stall heard Li Zhe's bid for 15 oranges, he almost couldn't laugh out loud, and immediately shouted loudly.

Sure enough, the two aunts walked over when they heard the yelling, and began to bargain, and finally tasted it, frowning, and bought two catties.

With the income coming in, the young man at the stall immediately gave Li Zhe a provocative look.

"..."

Li Zhe couldn't stand the young man's complacency, so he picked up an orange from the bamboo basket and pushed it away. In an instant, a strong and fresh orange smell spread around, and it couldn't be stopped.

This fragrance, like a clear spring flowing in the desert, makes people feel shocked when they smell it.

Many people closed their eyes and sniffed intoxicatedly, and soon surrounded by the fragrance, even the two aunts who had just paid for the young oranges from the stall turned their heads to look over.

One of the aunts looked at the half-eaten oranges in her hand and felt that it was really not good, so she walked back with a basket.

"The oranges cost eight yuan a catty, so I'll just ask for a few catties more. The market is about to close, and your broken oranges will rot if you can't sell them."

Li Zhe smiled proudly: "Now the oranges are twenty yuan a catty, and I won't sell them for less. If I can't sell them, I'll take them back and give them away. These oranges were picked in the morning, and they won't rot in ten days and a half months... "

Brother is a vengeful person. He said that I would buy this broken orange even after I despise it. If you want to buy it, I won’t sell it!

"Hey, didn't you just sell it for 15? Why did you turn around and sell it for 20? This rotten orange sells for 20, why don't you go to heaven!"

"Okay, let's go. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There are a few orange trees at home, so I want to take the opportunity to make some money. There are plenty of oranges in the market."

"These rotten oranges cost 20 pounds, and only fools buy them."

The two aunts had already despised Li Zhe to the extreme, and kept scolding the local turtle and the bumpkin.

Li Zhe smiled lazily, broke open the orange and took a bite, then yelled: "Sell oranges for twenty yuan a catty, if they don't taste good, you don't need money."

A young couple passed by and hesitated when they smelled the refreshing fragrance of oranges. Li Zhe handed over half an orange and said, "Taste it. If it doesn't taste good, you won't buy it. If it tastes good, you'll buy it."

The boy took it and handed it to the girl. The girl broke off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, biting it open. Immediately, her eyes lit up: "Wow, wow, delicious!"

Hearing the girl's exclamation, the boy saw the opportunity to be courteous, and said to Li Zhe proudly: "Two catties, no, ten catties!"

"Okay, wait a minute!" Li Zhe happily replied, and took out the electronic scale.

After paying two hundred yuan, the girl looked at Li Zhe and said, "Boss, give me two more. Twenty dollars a catty is too expensive!"

After the first order was made, Li Zhe was also in a good mood. Seeing the expressions of the two aunts next to him looking like idiots, he smiled and said, "I'll give you four!"

"Thank you, Boss!" The young couple picked four oranges that were obviously bigger, opened them and ate them.

Seeing the two eating happily, the onlookers immediately shouted.

"Boss, give me a piece to taste."

"It's delicious and I'll buy it too!"

A few minutes later, dozens of catties of oranges were sold, and the whole street was filled with a fresh and pleasant smell of oranges.

"Hey, 800 yuan has been credited!"

Li Zhe was counting the money like a money fanatic, and a clear and sweet voice came into his ears: "Boss, how many oranges do you have? I want a hundred catties!"

Li Zhe looked up and found a pretty woman in black sportswear and white fashionable earphones standing by the booth. It seemed that she had just tasted an orange, and her almond eyes lit up.

A look of amazement flashed in Li Zhe's eyes. This woman is so outstanding, her face is pure and delicate, with slight sweat dripping from her face. Can't hide that curvaceous tall figure.

"There are plenty of oranges, but I don't do wholesale oranges, so I can't buy a hundred catties cheaply. I sold dozens of catties in a few minutes." Li Zhe said with a smile.

"Well, it's okay. Can I pay with Alipay, I don't have cash with me."

Li Zhe nodded, and removed a few more baskets from the car, and finally weighed them. The total was 103 catties, which were calculated as one hundred catties and given to the woman.

The two thousand yuan was transferred to Alipay, and the woman said she was looking for someone to move it. Li Zhe was also busy greeting other customers.

Soon, the pretty woman rushed over with two young men who looked like hotel waiters, and loaded a hundred catties of oranges into a commercial vehicle.

After eating another orange, the pretty woman tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked Li Zhe: "Little brother, leave a contact information, if I still need it, I will call you."

Li Zhe nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. The other party is obviously a big customer. If it can become a long-term channel, it will be more convenient to sell oranges in the future.

"Well, I don't have a business card, please write down my phone number."

After exchanging cell phone numbers, the woman put on the earphones again and continued running.

Oranges are still very popular even if they cost 20 catties a catty, although most of them are sold at a price of one catty or two catties.

In comparison, the stalls on the opposite side seem empty. The young fruit seller couldn't sit still anymore, walked over and whispered, "Brother, where do you wholesale your oranges? Tell me about it."

No one cared about his stall, and he didn't sell a few catties of fruit for an hour. Li Zhe's sales were in full swing, of course he was jealous.

Li Zhe curled his lips, who the hell is your brother, and you forgot just after the provocation?

I ignored it and continued to sell oranges.

A look of anger flashed across the young man's face, and he said coldly: "If you don't tell me, believe it or not, there won't even be a stall here tomorrow."

Yo ho, threaten me?

The corner of Li Zhe's mouth curled up, and he turned around and pulled the car door with his backhand. Immediately, Rhubarb and Dahei stuck out their heads, staring at the young man quietly.

"Damn!" The young man was so frightened that his three souls trembled, damn, a Tibetan mastiff without a chain, this is crazy! How can I pretend to be aggressive, so I ran into the crowd in a panic.

"Hehe, threatening me? Do you think you're an urban management officer? Pretend again?"

Li Zhe was about to close the car door again. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt something wrong. Why didn't the two dogs look hungry, they were so hungry just now.

He quickly turned his head to stare at them and said fiercely: "Don't steal the oranges!"

The big yellow dog quickly took a step back, then wagged its tail and looked in other directions, with a guilty look on it. As for the big Tibetan mastiff, there was a piece of orange peel hanging from the corner of its mouth, just like a mentally retarded man. Seeing this scene, Li Zhe's face turned black up!
