Chapter 3902 Why do we pick fruits like this?
The young man let out a long sigh, remained silent for a moment, and continued his topic. .
"Later..., the owner of the orchard asked us to beat fruit like we do now."
“When we used to pick fruits, we used many people.”
"And now... after changing to fruit beating, I can collect as much fruit in one day as ten people did in the past."
"But... my income is still the same as before and has not increased."
"But...but nine of my companions lost their income, which put their lives in trouble."
"As for me... my life is not as good as it used to be."
"The owner of the orchard requires me to work one to two hours longer than before."
"I'm afraid of losing this job, so I can only accept this unreasonable request."
"But this takes up time to take care of family members, thus causing discord in the family..."
"So... although I still have an income to comfort myself now, but... I feel that one day I will eventually collapse..."
At this point, the young man no longer had the excitement of getting Lin Yun's copper coins before, and bowed his head in silence...
Lin Yun and the two knew that they could only get this information from him.
It's just that they don't understand.
Although picking fruits requires more labor, it also improves the quality of the fruits and can be sold at a higher price to make up for it.
Obviously, the loss caused by spoiled fruit is definitely greater than the cost saved by cutting labor.
It is impossible for the orchard owner to fail to calculate such an account.
And he has done this in the past few years, so it must be a feasible way of doing business.
Why did he suddenly abandon it?
Just when they were puzzled.
A man ran over from a distance.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Why don't you do something good?"
"If you delay today's work... I will deduct ten days' wages from you..."
I heard someone yelling.
The silent young man sitting on the ground suddenly jumped up, picked up the long pole and continued to hit his fruits without saying a word in reply.
Over the years, he had gotten used to it.
Of course, when he saw those families whose income was not secure, he had to accept it.
The visitor wanted to yell and scold.
Lin Yun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "You are the owner of the orchard, please calm down. I asked him to say a few words to me."
"If there is any loss, I will compensate you. Please don't embarrass him."
"You..." The owner of the orchard originally wanted to get angry, but seeing the extraordinary temperament of Lin Yun, he could only hold back the curse words and asked coldly: "Compensate! How do you want to compensate?"
Lin Yun looked at the fruits all over the ground and thought it would be difficult to sell such fruits, so he smiled and said, "How about I buy more fruits from you, the owner of this garden?"
It stands to reason that it would not be easy to buy such rotten fruit.
If someone wants to buy it, the garden owner must be very happy.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the garden said with a cold face: "No! My fruit has been reserved by a big merchant, and I can't sell even a pound to anyone else."
"Already booked?" Lin Yun was surprised.
Doesn’t the merchant who made the reservation have quality requirements?
It's hard to buy such a fruit.
"Do you think I lied to you?" The garden owner stared, obviously resentful in his heart.
Lin Yun felt the resentment of the garden owner and knew that he needed to appease this guy first.
So he brought a piece of silver.
This piece of silver is enough to sell tens of thousands of catties of fruit. In this secular world, its value is definitely not low.
When the owner of the garden saw the silver, his eyes immediately shone.
Although this piece of silver is valuable, it is not much for an owner of such a vast orchard.
His garden full of fruits would be worth at least tens of millions if sold.
But in fact, it was just his property. In terms of cash, he didn't have much in hand.
Therefore, seeing Lin Yun's piece of silver, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Owner... let's do this! Let me ask you a few questions, and this piece of silver will be considered as compensation."
"If it's not enough, I can add more, as long as you're not angry and don't embarrass that little brother."
Lin Yun handed over the silver and pointed to the young man who had just talked to them.
"Just asking a few questions... these are enough... enough! Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed..." The garden owner excitedly took the money.
When the young man over there heard these words, he worked more energetically.
"Master, please take a seat." Lin Yun pointed to a felled fruit tree on one side.
"Master, please sit down too! If you have any questions, just ask, I will tell you everything you know."
Lin Yun and the owner of the garden were sitting on the tree trunk.
Yun Qingqing stood aside and listened quietly.
"The owner of the garden... I just want to know why such good fruits need to be picked in this way?"
“You can’t fetch a high price if you pick it like this.”
"Compared with the price loss, the labor saved is nothing at all."
Lin Yun summarized his questions and asked.
"I don't need to sell at a high price, and I can't sell at a high price now!"
The garden owner's answer surprised Lin Yun and asked, "Why?"
"Why?" The garden owner smiled bitterly, with a more helpless expression on his face than the young man picking the fruit.
"How to answer? Let me start from the beginning. Maybe you can find the answer from my past..."
The garden owner sighed, and after a brief silence, he began to talk about his past.
"Many years ago, I managed an orchard here."
"At that time, the orchard was not so big, and many people here were running orchards."
"At that time, when the fruits were ripe, I hired many people to pick them carefully. The fruits were also very popular after they were put on the market..."
"At that time... although the income could not reach the level of a wealthy person, it was considered a good family in the village."
"Until one day, a person found me and changed my life."
"No... not only changed my life, but also changed the lives of many people in our area."
"A person came? A person who forced buying and selling?" Lin Yun asked.
"No!" The owner shook his head.
Then he was silent for a while, and then said: "But after hearing you say that, I suddenly feel that he is a person who forced buying and selling."
"Tell me... what kind of person is he? What did he do?" Lin Yun became more and more curious.
"He... how to say it?"
The owner tried to recall that he hadn't seen that person for a long time. Now, all matters were just handed over to him by his subordinates.
"He looks like a very elegant scholar."
"But he is also very rich..."
"But now that I think about it...all his money should have been taken from others...it should be like this."
"Those people...should have been trapped by him like me..."
The owner of the garden was actually a little excited, as if someone had the same experience as him, so he would not be lonely.
