Chapter 53: Grandma Xu helps sell loquats

After Yang Fan and Grandpa Li left, Grandma Xu moved a small stool and sat in the yard, waiting for someone to come and buy loquats as she said.

Not long after they left, a woman came to Shangyuan Village on an electric tricycle.

"Loquats from Yang Fan's family... Which family is Yang Fan from?"

Wang Xiuzhen walked along the road and it took her a while before she saw someone. It was Fu Yonghui, who was carrying a hoe and working in the fields.

She stopped the car and asked for directions. "Brother, I want to ask if there is a loquat seller in your village. His name is Yang Fan, right?"

"Yes, keep going forward," Fu Yonghui pointed to Yang Fan's house in front and said, "That house is Yang Fan's house. She sells loquats."

He pointed to the surrounding mountains and said, "The fruit trees around here belong to her family."

"Okay, okay, thank you, brother."

"You're welcome."

Wang Xiuzhen continued to drive forward, with a puzzled look on her face, "Why haven't I heard of an orchard in Shangyuan Village before..."

She drove all the way and first arrived at Grandma Xu's house. She stopped and asked for directions, "Sister, is that Yang Fan's house? I want to buy some loquats from him."

Someone comes to buy loquats so soon!
Grandma Xu stood up, smiled and waved to Wang Xiuzhen in the car, "Come over here, this is Yang Fan's loquats, she's out, so she asked me to help her sell them."

Wang Xiuzhen: “Ah?”

She got out of the car half-believingly and walked to Grandma Xu's yard. When she saw the yellow loquats in the frame, her eyes were full of amazement, "Wow, these loquats look so good."

“The strawberries and lychees look good too.”

The strawberries and lychees in the basket next to it are also big and red, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of fruit.

You can tell this fruit is right just by looking at its appearance.

"These are all priced the same, 66 yuan per pound, and 60 yuan per pound above 1 pound," Grandma Xu introduced enthusiastically, "You can try one of each."

"Try one."

It just so happened that her son and daughter-in-law all liked these three kinds of fruits, so they tried them all and bought some back if they were delicious.

Wang Xiuzhen tasted one of the fruits and her eyes lit up immediately. "Hmm! This fruit is good!"

It is juicy, fragrant and sweet, making people want to eat more.

Grandma Xu's face was full of pride. "It tastes good, right?"

Wang Xiuzhen nodded, "It's delicious."

"Big sister, weigh two kilograms of each for me."

"Okay." Grandma Xu skillfully took the bag and filled it with fruit and weighed it for her.

Six kilograms is three hundred and sixty yuan. Several kilograms of fruit cost more than three hundred yuan, so Wang Xiuzhen still felt a little painful.

"Sister, I'm buying so much, can you give me a discount?"

"Sister, I've already given you a very cheap price," said Grandma Xu. "This fruit is so good, especially the loquat, which can cure colds if eaten."

"Yesterday, someone from the Chinese Medicine Hospital asked Yang Fan to buy all the loquats on the mountain to make loquat paste, but Yang Fan didn't sell them, saying that the effect of making loquat paste is not as good as eating it directly."

"The loquats are so good, don't ask me to give you a cheaper price again."

It really can cure colds!
Wang Xiuzhen was excited, it seemed that she had come to the right place.

"Then sister, weigh me another pound of loquats."

Afraid that two kilograms of loquats would not be enough for her granddaughter, she weighed another kilogram of loquats.

Seven pounds, a total of 420 yuan.

After Wang Xiuzhen left until five or six in the afternoon, Grandma Xu's meal was almost ready and someone came to buy loquats.

They were Ge Junya’s colleagues. They had all eaten the loquats she gave them and came here specifically to buy loquats.

But they looked at the lychees and strawberries on the side, and everyone tasted them and thought they were delicious.

So those who came to buy loquats not only bought loquats, but also bought lychees and strawberries.

Seeing that there were not many fruits left in the basket, Grandma Xu couldn't help but admire herself for being a sales genius. Meanwhile, Wang Xiuzhen bought some loquats and hurried home. The first thing she did when she got home was to peel the loquats for her granddaughter to eat.

Her granddaughter, who originally couldn't eat anything, couldn't stop eating loquats.

"Grandma, I want to eat more."

"Okay, okay, grandma will peel it for you."

Seeing her granddaughter eating, Wang Xiuzhen said happily, "Dear, eat more loquats, and your illness will be cured."

"Mom, what are you feeding the kids?"

Her daughter-in-law Liu Ling walked in from outside and heard these words. She walked up to the grandparents and grandchildren, saw the loquats in the bag, and asked.

"Mom, you went to buy loquats. I was just thinking of buying some loquats to make some loquat paste."

"That's great. Don't eat all of it. Leave some for me to make into loquat paste for the children."

Wang Xiuzhen waved her hands repeatedly, "It can't be made into loquat paste. The loquats should be eaten directly for better effects."

"Who told you that?" Liu Ling explained, "Loquats must be made into loquat paste so that the human body can better absorb it and have a cough-relieving effect."

"The loquat seller told me."

Wang Xiuzhen told how she knew about the loquats and what Grandma Xu said when she bought the loquats.

Liu Ling had a speechless expression on her face, as if the old lady had definitely been cheated.

What about the people from the Chinese medicine hospital going to buy loquats, but people are not willing to sell them? This sounds fake.

It would be good enough for real fruit farmers to find suitable sales channels, let alone sell them to people in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. This scam is too fake and can only fool these old men and women.

Loquats at 60 yuan per pound, and some lychees and strawberries.

The old lady had spent several hundred yuan in a short time, and Wang Xiuzhen, the daughter-in-law, was about to say that she had been cheated.

Suddenly, the other person stuffed a loquat into her mouth. She chewed the sweet flesh subconsciously and then swallowed all the words that came out of her mouth.

You know what, this loquat is quite delicious!

Wang Xiuzhen said proudly, "It tastes good, right?"

"Delicious! This loquat is so sweet!"

Liu Ling reached out to take it again, but was stopped by Wang Xiuzhen.

"I bought these loquats for Lanlan. Go eat the lychees and strawberries. Those are for you."

"……All right."

Although she can't eat loquats, she also likes strawberries and lychees.

Looking at the big, red strawberries in the bag, Liu Ling quickly took some to wash and eat. The strawberries were delicious, better than any strawberries she had ever eaten, and the lychees were especially delicious too.

After Wang Xiuzhen's son and husband came back, they ate the fruits and said they were delicious, but they didn't take Wang Xiuzhen's words that loquat could cure colds to heart.

As a result, the child who had been having repeated fevers no longer had a fever by the evening, had an appetite again, looked much more energetic, and did not cough much all night.

The next day the child was completely recovered and was jumping around as usual.

But Liu Ling and her husband still believe that the child recovered because of the injections and medication.

If you tell others that eating loquats can cure a cold, who would believe it?

They didn't believe it, but Wang Xiuzhen did. She had been taking care of the child, giving him injections and taking medicine since he fell ill.

It's been so many days and the doctor said I would recover slowly, but now I'm fine after eating loquats.

That must be the effect of loquat!

Wang Xiuzhen immediately recommended the loquats from Yang Fan’s family in Shangyuan Village to the children, classmates and parents she was familiar with.

Now many children have been infected, and it is very painful for the grandparents to see their children suffer.

So, Wang Xiuzhen introduced loquats that can cure diseases to them, and many grandparents were tempted.

Although 60 yuan per pound is a bit expensive, I can still buy it for my child if I grit my teeth!
