Chapter 95 Flour from the Leisure Farm brand?!
That morning, Xu Ran had Li Wu drive a truck, loaded with several baskets of eggs and a large two-basket load of black truffles, to the city.
The farm is just starting out, so we can't skimp on any small amount of money.
The eggs could probably sell for over a thousand yuan.
Black truffles are much more valuable, costing around 80,000 to 90,000 yuan.
This was because Xu Ran went to the mountains twice more.
They dug out all the top-quality black truffles.
We still have to thank nature for its gifts.
There's a wholesale market in the city with shops that specialize in buying black truffles.
The wholesale market has many shops, with scattered agricultural and sideline food products displayed outside. Customers walk through the aisles, picking out inexpensive goods.
Xu Ran and Li Wu each carried a basket of black truffles and walked into the shop that buys black truffles.
The shops here are different from other shops; there are relatively fewer customers, and the shops are very quiet.
Because black truffles are a niche product, they are mostly supplied by designated suppliers, and few people buy them regularly.
Upon seeing Xu Ran enter, a man in his forties asked, "What would you like to order?"
Xu Ran said unhurriedly, "Do you want to buy freshly dug wild black truffles? They're all over 1 jin (500 grams), some even 3 jin (1.5 catties), and they're pure black."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately became interested.
Regular black truffles are easy to find, but large black truffles are extremely rare.
After all, this kind of thing can only be grown in the mountains, and even if it is planted by humans, it will not grow very big.
Black truffles must grow vigorously in specific natural environments to reach a weight of 1 pound.
"Let me see."
The man's eyes immediately went to the basket.
This man is named Liu Guang, the shop owner, who makes a living by selling black truffles and has his own distribution channels.
Liu Guang walked over, squatted down next to the bamboo basket, reached out and picked one up, examining it carefully.
The black truffles still had some damp soil clinging to them, and their pure, natural aroma was very pleasant to smell.
This stuff can't be faked; it's definitely freshly dug, top-quality black truffle.
Moreover, they are large enough to be considered top-quality.
Liu Guang was somewhat shocked, not expecting that the two young men who came would make such a big deal right away.
"That's good, are these all freshly dug? How could they dig so many?"
Liu Guang clicked his tongue and asked.
"Yes, I run a farm at the foot of the mountain. I was lucky enough to find a spot for black truffles, so I dug them all up."
Xu Ran nodded.
"You're really lucky; these black truffles are all top-quality."
"Don't worry about my prices, they're very fair. I have a Douyin account, and I update the prices there every day. For local mountain produce like this, over 1 jin (500g) can fetch 380. These are all lychee peels; if they get a better rating, I can offer 400."
Liu Guang took out the black truffles from the basket one by one and examined them carefully.
The more I look, the more excited I get.
These black truffles are of such high quality.
They are all top-notch.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ran smiled calmly and replied, "That's not right. These are all dug up from the mountains, the best quality, so the price is definitely higher."
"Even at 600 yuan per jin, you can still make a profit."
"I work in agriculture and I used to sell wild mushrooms at the market, so I know the wild mushroom market very well."
"This level of black truffle is in high demand and short supply in the wild mushroom market, and the price cannot be lowered any further."
Looking at the black truffle in front of him, Liu Guang suddenly had a thought.
Xu Ran is right.
This premium black truffle has a large market.
As a businessman, you definitely want to make more money.
He could tell that Xu Ran wasn't the type to dawdle. After hesitating for only a few seconds, he readily agreed: "Okay, 600 per jin, I'll take it."
"If you have any more in the future, I'll take them all."
Xu Ran nodded, "There were some that looked ordinary, not as good as these, so I didn't bring them over."
"I'll buy even those that aren't of good quality, as long as you have them."
"Let's sell these for now."
Next, Liu Guang packed the black truffles and weighed them.
It weighs 134 jin in total, which is a little over 8 yuan at 600 yuan per jin.
This is not a small amount.
Liu Guang checked each black truffle again to make sure there were no problems before paying the bill.
Xu Ran was waiting on the side.
They weighed the black truffles before we arrived, and the weight was fine.
This shows that the other party is quite conscientious.
"Remember to contact me if you need any similar goods in the future. I'm always willing to buy them." Liu Guang handed Xu Ran a business card. "You can add me on WeChat too, just let me know when you need me."
"If it's inconvenient for you to come over, I can come to your door to collect it, no problem."
Xu Ran checked her phone, confirmed that she had received the transfer, and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Judging from Liu Guang's appearance, he'll probably make some money from this deal.
However, Xu Ran had already reached her target price, so she didn't care about anything else.
A few trips into the mountains can earn 8 yuan, which is enough.
After finishing these tasks, Xu Ran took Li Wu to the wholesale market to purchase goods.
With the Spring Festival approaching, Xu Ran prepared some employee benefits for the farm staff.
It's nothing more than rice, flour, cooking oil, and fruit.
Xu Ran's perks included two bags of high-quality flour produced on the farm, a barrel of Golden Dragon cooking oil, and two boxes of top-quality Fuji apples.
The employees are all locals, and it's a matter of pride to take these things home or give them to elders, regardless of whether they need them or not.
Of course, Xu Ran had already distributed bonuses to the employees at the end of December.
Therefore, the main focus this Spring Festival is on distributing gifts.
To run a business well, you need to create a good atmosphere.
Large companies have dedicated unions to manage things, but his small farm is entirely up to him.
The two spent the day shopping and then drove back home.
Another fulfilling day.
That's farm life. Every day you're busy with odd jobs, which are physically demanding but not mentally taxing.
When they got back, everyone heard the commotion and came out to help.
The dogs also gathered around to watch the commotion.
The atmosphere was still great.
The next day.
The flour factory contacted Xu Ran, saying that the flour had been packaged and was ready for sale.
Xu Ran called the manager at Walmart again to discuss sales and storage matters.
This time, a larger quantity of flour was produced, with some stored in the farm's warehouse and the rest in Walmart's warehouse.
We'll restock once the supermarket has sold out.
These things were all planned in advance, so there were no mishaps.
The next day, the trucks started transporting goods back and forth.
Meanwhile, the flour from the Yuran Farm brand has officially been launched on Walmart shelves.
Xu Ran felt quite satisfied with this.
Flour isn't consumed as quickly as tomatoes, which are usually used up soon after purchase and then repurchased.
A bag of flour can last for one or two months. After customers buy it, they often exclaim, "The flour in this supermarket is of better quality than that in the wholesale market," and then they remember the brand of the flour.
Therefore, it takes time for word-of-mouth to build up.
They have excellent connections within the industry.
Those in the same industry know who these supermarkets are partnering with.
Walmart launched a new type of flour, branded by "You Ran Farm Co., Ltd.", and this news quickly appeared in market research reports from its peers.
The report shows that the flour is pure natural wheat flour, without any additives, highly refined, with a strong wheat aroma, and rich in nutrients, making it a top-grade wheat flour.
Yang Kaifu, the manager of Yonghui Supermarket, saw this report.
He was somewhat surprised.
"Flour from the Yuran Farm brand?"
"Xu Ran's farm?"
"Was Walmart the company that Xu Ran Xiaomai collaborated with a while ago?"
Yang Kaifu was shocked.
Currently, the cooperative projects between Yonghui and Youran Farm are tomatoes and sunflower oil.
The evaluation results for both products were excellent, the market response was also very good, and they sold out very quickly.
As for wheat, Yonghui, as a nationwide supermarket chain, has several fixed partners, all of whom are large-scale farmers with thousands of acres of wheat fields.
Therefore, Yang Kaifu initially didn't think much of Xu Ran's wheat fields, since the headquarters supplied them directly, and he didn't have to worry about it.
But to everyone's surprise, Walmart took notice and partnered with Xu Ran, and the feedback was quite positive.
"I didn't expect Xu Ran's wheat to be of such good quality."
"Is the climate here comparable to Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia? How can the wheat grown here reach such a level of quality!"
Yang Kaifu began to re-examine Xu Ran's farm.
This farm is truly extraordinary.
If there's an opportunity in the future, I must find a way to cooperate with the farm.
Otherwise, existing partnerships could be snatched away.
Inside the farm.
Xu Ran was free again.
Everyone has already tried the flour. No matter how it's made, it's extremely chewy and has a wonderful aroma.
Food tastes best when it's grown by your own hard work.
Xu Ran played with the foal in the open space.
When he first arrived, the little guy was quite reserved and seemed a bit cautious.
Now that he's familiar with the farm, he runs around like a madman all day long.
Sometimes they can't even be called back.
At first I thought it was a "spirit pearl", but it turned out to be a "demon pill".
However, horses have complex personalities, with all sorts of types.
As long as you're mild-mannered, you can be a little crazy.
Just don't hurt anyone.
