224 The Story of Selling Navel Oranges!
The dozen oranges were finished in a short while.
“This navel orange tastes quite good now!” The sister-in-law smiled and said, “I think it’s better than mandarin oranges! Mandarin oranges are still very sour now. This orange is sweet with a hint of sourness and has a pleasant orange fragrance.”
The navel oranges that Gu Qingming had eaten in the past had all matured, and they were the most delicious when the orange fragrance was the strongest.
Now, it was her first time tasting this half-ripe orange. Although the taste was not as long and rich as the ripe ones, it was not much worse.
If she had to choose between navel oranges and mandarin oranges at this time, she would definitely be more inclined to navel oranges.
Of course, everyone had their own preferences.
Gu Qingming quite liked this taste. It was sour with a hint of sweetness and had a faint fragrance.
She ate three oranges in a row. When she felt that she was full and could not eat anymore, she stopped.
After all, they had only come over after breakfast.
After everyone finished eating the oranges, other than Gu Qingming and the two children, the others began to work.
According to Eldest Uncle, it was best to fertilize before picking fruits.
They even said that someone was fertilizing the fruits after picking them.
However, Eldest Uncle had been farming navel oranges for more than ten years and had a lot of experience and deep professional planting skills. Therefore, the navel oranges he planted had sweet juices and a rich and long orange fragrance.
Every time it was the season to sell navel oranges, other people would be worrying over the sale of their navel oranges, but his navel oranges were sold out!
Why? Too many people bought it!
There were many people who bought his oranges, and the price was not cheap. However, when it was the mining season, those new and old customers swarmed over and drove up the mountain to pick it up.
At least a few thousand kilograms were sold out every day. Tens of thousands of kilograms of navel oranges were sold out in less than half a month.
After selling them, many people still came to look for them. Uncle and the others could only reject them one by one and promise that they would pick them first next year.
Many people were envious. Then, one farmer went to Eldest Uncle and the others and said that his navel oranges had been sold out. Perhaps Eldest Uncle could help him sell his. The fee was fifty cents per catty.
If he sold more, he would still make a certain amount of money.
However, Eldest Uncle rejected him sternly.
“The most important thing in doing business,” he said, “is integrity.”
Those clients came to him because they valued the quality of his oranges and trusted him. If he sold them other navel oranges, it would be dishonest and leave a bad impression on his clients in the future.
Therefore, he did not want to be greedy for these small benefits.
Hearing that, the other farmer was furious.
He said loudly, “Shi Lichun, your navel oranges have been sold out. Shouldn’t you help my family sell ours? It’s not easy to sell navel oranges this year. Are you just going to watch my navel oranges rot on the trees? Why are you so evil?”
Eldest Uncle and the others were speechless.
However, Third Uncle’s expression was no longer as pleasant as before.
He said angrily, “We’re evil? Are you f*cking kidding me? What do your navel oranges have to do with us if they can’t be sold? It’s not like we’re the ones who can’t sell your navel oranges.”
The farmer was frightened by Third Uncle’s anger, but he still said righteously, “You’ve sold out your navel oranges. Shouldn’t you help us? Besides, I’m not asking you to help for nothing. You can earn 50 cents for a catty of oranges. What’s there to be picky and unsatisfied about?”
Instead of getting angry, Second Uncle smiled and said, “So, you’re saying that our family lacks the profit of 50 cents per catty? So, in order to earn 50 cents from your family, we have to lie to our clients and lose our integrity. Then, we’ll lose our clients? So, we should lose big for your oranges? We should be magnanimous like Bodhisattva and help you sell navel oranges at the expense of offending our clients?”
That family was speechless.
Second Uncle’s expression immediately turned cold. He said coldly, “Do you take us for fools, or do you think we should help your family? What right do we have to help your family? Are you our father or our mother?”
When the farmer heard this, his expression turned especially bad.
He said angrily, “You… you, Shi Liqiu, don’t be too harsh with your words. I’m just asking you for a favor, not asking you to commit murder and arson. Is there a need to be so angry and turn your back on me?”
“Hehe, since it’s a favor, we have the right to refuse, right?” Third Uncle sneered. “So, why are you so angry?”
That farmer blushed and said angrily, “We’re all villagers. Aren’t you going to help me with this little favor?”
Eldest Uncle could not take it anymore. He shouted fiercely, “Get lost!”
That farmer’s expression became even uglier. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Second Uncle said coldly and loudly, “My eldest brother told you to get lost. Didn’t you hear him?”
The farmer was chased away and left in a sorry state.
“Pfft, what kind of person is he? Where did he get the face to ask us to help sell his navel oranges?”
Third Uncle said angrily as he watched the farmer leave with his family.
“If his navel orange is good-looking and delicious, it would taste similar to ours and sell well. W But don’t you know what his navel orange looks like? Not only does it not look good, but it tastes sour and isn’t juicy. It tastes bad. If we sell such a navel orange, our reputation will be ruined. Then how will our navel oranges be sold next year?”
Second Uncle smiled and said, “Alright, Third Brother, didn’t we reject it?”
Eldest Uncle instructed his two younger brothers seriously, “In the future, no matter who comes to sell the navel oranges, you can’t agree! If there’s really a client who needs it and doesn’t mind other companies’ navel oranges, you can explain it to the client. You also have to choose navel oranges that taste good for the sale.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle immediately replied seriously, “Yes, Eldest Brother, we understand!”
…
Gu Qingming had always known that the navel oranges of her three uncles were sold well, but she did not expect them to sell so well.
One had to know that their family’s navel oranges were sold separately. No matter how much they bought, they would not bargain and would all be sold at the same price!
It was expensive, sold well, and sold quickly. There were not many farmers in Shahe Town who could do it.
Everyone went to work. The two children accompanied Gu Qingming, their aunt.
Gu Qingming stood in front of the house, her eyes shining as she stared at the orange seedlings in the greenhouse in front of her.
Kong Xingfan said that the seedlings in this shed had already met the requirements to enter the space to plant.
However, these seedlings were all limited. Moreover, it seemed a little too abrupt for her to ask Eldest Uncle for them for no reason.
“Aunt, what are you looking at?” Shi Junxuan asked curiously.
“That’s right. Aunt, what are you looking at?” Shi Jiahao asked, unwilling to fall behind. “What’s so good about the things in this greenhouse?”
“Yes, they don’t look good. Aunt, let’s go over there and play!”
