Chapter 485 Planning to Make Canned Fruit



Chapter 485 Planning to Make Canned Fruit

"Yes, we can pick a lot. In the past two years, there weren't many fruits, not enough to eat. This year, we can finally harvest more."

As the orchard grows bigger and there are more and more fruit trees, the first batch of fruit trees that were pressurized have begun to bear fruit one after another this year. Although there are not many fruits, you can still pick some.

She put all the leftover fruits into the space. Now is the time when all kinds of fruits are ripe, and Xu Han plans to make these fruits into jam or canned food.

But because I have been very busy recently, this matter has been delayed. It seems that I have to take some time to put this matter on the agenda.

Otherwise, if the fruit is kept for a long time, it will be difficult to take it out. Fresh fruit cannot be kept, and if it is taken out, it will always be unacceptable to others. It is better to find a time to deal with it.

Xu Han and Zhou continued picking until Mu'er came over and called them to go back for breakfast, then they stopped what they were doing.

Xu Han said, "Let's go back first, and come back to pick the rest after breakfast."

"Okay, Madam, you go back first. I'll go call them back for breakfast and bring back the pears we picked."

"Well, I'll go back first, you go quickly and come back soon."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she took Mu'er's hand and the two of them walked home first.

Zhou went in the opposite direction, first to the valley to call people back, and when passing by the orchard, she carried the pears picked by the two people back home.

In the morning, Xu Han and Zhou picked a total of seven or eight baskets of fresh pears. Each basket weighed at least eighty or ninety kilograms, which added up to nearly seven hundred kilograms.

Xu Han and Zhou definitely couldn't carry such heavy pears back, so they had to rely on the men to carry them.

As soon as Xu Han got home and served breakfast, Lu Chuan brought his men back with the pears.

The Taoist priest took a pear with a smile, rubbed it twice and took a big bite. "This year's pears are big and plentiful. Mm, delicious, crisp and sweet."

Xu Han quickly advised, "Don't eat yet. We'll have breakfast soon. If you eat this big pear, you won't be able to eat breakfast."

When Grandpa Zhao heard this, he quickly withdrew his hand that was about to take the pear, and thought to himself: This pear is really big, one pear weighs more than one pound, I will definitely not be able to eat breakfast after eating the pear.

The Taoist priest didn't care. "I've already bitten it, so I have to finish it. The worst that can happen is that I won't be able to drink porridge for a while."

"Well, just don't hold on."

After she finished speaking, she went into the main room first, put the food on the table, and waited for everyone to start eating breakfast together.

At the dinner table, Lu Chuan asked, "What are you going to do with these pears? Are you going to keep them in the cellar? Or are you going to can them like before?"

Xu Han thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of fruits this year. I'm thinking of keeping some fresh and canning the rest.

Now that there are many people in my family, many things are not convenient to do. It is better to make them into cans, which are easy to preserve and convenient to eat.

We can sell the extra canned food in the county town, or give it to Yunhua and the others. There are so many fruits this year that we can’t even finish them at home.”

The Taoist priest said, "That's fine. It's hard to eat fruit in winter. Make some more and send them to Yunhua and Yunyun. The canned food tastes good, they will definitely like it."

Lu Chuan also said, "Yes, there is no fruit to sell in winter, so we can make canned fruit and sell them, which will definitely be very profitable.

Rich people like to eat fresh food. In previous years, they couldn’t buy fruits even if they had money. If we can make canned fruits and sell them to them, they will definitely sell well.

Besides, rich people have plenty of money, so they don’t mind spending a little more for this bite of food, and they can sell it at a higher price later.”

Xu Han smiled and said, "I planted this orchard to make canned fruit and sell it, but there aren't many fruits this year. If I were to sell them, I wouldn't be able to sell many cans before they were gone.

So I didn’t think about selling it. I kept it for my family first. I plan to start selling it next year.

However, it would be nice if I could sell some this year. After all, we have a lot of fruits accumulated at home. If the quantity is small, I can just sell them at a higher price.

Let’s develop the market first, so that it will be easier to sell next year.”

Lu Chuan asked, "Okay, are the jars at home enough? Should we buy some more?"

Xu Han took a bite of the greens and said as she ate, "You definitely have to buy jars. Last time, I made canned fruit using jars I had at home. Not only were they different sizes, they didn't look good either.

If we really want to make it and sell it, I think we should customize a batch of ceramic jars, and package them nicely so that we can sell them at a high price.”

"Well, let's go to the county town together some other day and settle the matter of the jar first."

"Okay, I'll go check how much fruit I have at home and make a count first so I can know how many ceramic jars I should order."

Grandpa Zhao on the side listened for a long time, then slowly suggested, "Since you are planning to sell canned food, the ceramic jar must be designed carefully.

The pattern design of the jar is beautiful and people will like it at first sight. Some people will buy some for the sake of this jar to try its flavor.

We can then put some marks on the bottom of the jar, so that when others see the marks, they will know that it is ours. "

When Xu Han heard what Grandpa Zhao said, her eyes lit up. She hadn't expected that Grandpa Zhao had such a strong awareness of trademarks and copyrights. As a modern person with a particularly strong awareness of copyrights, even Xu Han herself had just overlooked this point.

I have to say that old ginger is wiser. Grandpa Zhao has a lot of experience and a unique vision.

With Grandpa Zhao's reminder, Xu Han did not dare to be negligent and began to think seriously.

“What Grandpa Zhao said makes a lot of sense. In the future, we will not only make canned food to sell, but also make many other things.

We need to have our own logo, so that when others see the logo, they will know it is our business. "

Lu Chuan also agreed, "That's true, but how do we make a logo? What pattern should we use? What if someone else imitates our logo?

If someone imitates our products and something goes wrong, wouldn’t that be our problem?"

Xu Han thought for a while and said, “So we need to be more careful when marking so that others can’t imitate us.

And our designs must have special meanings, so that we can also build a reputation for future business.”

The Taoist priest watched as the topic went off topic, and he interrupted while drinking his porridge leisurely, "There's no rush. There's still plenty of time. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and it's probably going to take a while for the canned goods to be ordered.
