Chapter 198 - 197, In a State of Panic
When Hehua returned to the village and announced the price of persimmons at four yuan per jin and hawthorns at eight yuan per jin,
it was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar.
It got all the villagers excited!
"What? Persimmons can sell for four yuan per jin? How is that possible? I just went to the market two days ago and sold persimmons for only eight mao per jin!"
"When did persimmons become so valuable?"
The villagers were buzzing because many of their families grew persimmons. After all, this type of fruit didn’t require meticulous management, often referred to as "lazy man’s fruit."
That’s why they planted some, not necessarily to make big money, but to supplement household expenses.
But no one expected that the price would be so high.
"It’s definitely cheaper to sell them in town, because the people there are very poor, and everyone has relatives who grow some persimmons, so there’s no need to buy any."
"But good things aren’t cheap in the city. Of course, the reason Zhao Ranran managed to sell at such a high price this time is thanks to Secretary Su finding sales channels."
"Now that you mention it, it’s true. I feel that since Secretary Su cut her hair short, she’s like a different person, greeting everyone she meets with a smile, unlike before when she held herself aloof, as if others didn’t know she was the village secretary."
