337 Taro

With so many agricultural products on sale in the online shop, Third Master Shi’s taro was the best seller.

Many of them were repeat customers!

The main reason was that his taro was really big and round. Moreover, it was fragrant and soft after being steamed. It was the best food for old people who had bad teeth. Many young people wanted to be filial to the old people at home and would think of their appetite.

Actually, not only did the elderly like this taro, but many young people also liked it.

The taro was first steamed and cooked until it was soft. After peeling it, it was stir-fried in the pot with oil. After smashing it with a spatula, it was mixed with clear water and cooked into a dough-like shape. The final dish went well with the rice. It was really delicious and especially appetizing.

In the countryside, many children did not like to eat. The adults would cook some taro and mix it with rice to be fed to the children.

Occasionally, there would be some green onions, vegetable leaves, and so on added to the taro. It was delicious and nutritious.

Some people liked their food to be flavorful and would add some plum vegetables, beans, and so on.

Taro was also a common food used by rural people. Many people even liked to use taro to make taro buns. In fact, the consumption of taro was quite large.

In the countryside, almost every family would plant some taros, especially when there were many children at home. They liked to plant more taros.

Because of the taro, children, including those that did not like to eat, could eat half a bowl of rice.

Because taro was planted by most in the countryside, taro sales in the countryside were not very good.

In two to three months, Third Master Shi’s family would only sell at most two hundred catties of their taro. Now, that it was sold online more than 50 kilograms were sold in just four to five days. Moreover, the price was so expensive. Excluding the freight fee, it had reached 2.50 dollars per catty.

In that case, selling things online was really a good sales channel.

Over the past few days, the villagers had heard about Third Master Shi’s order and the delivery company coming to his house to get the goods. Their eyes were filled with envy.

If he sold all his 1,000 kilograms of taro, he would earn at least 3,000 dollars.

In the past, everyone was still laughing at him. With so many taros planted and piled up at home, they were about to rot.

Unexpectedly, not only did his taro not rot, but he also earned a sum.

Over the past few days, Third Master Shi had been happy.

He did not go anywhere else now. He stayed at home. As soon as he was informed that there was an order, he would prepare the packaging. Then, in the evening, the courier company would come to pick up the goods and ship them out to the customers.

“Third Uncle, how much taro do you have left?” someone asked curiously. “These few days, all I’ve heard and seen is that someone has bought your taro again.”

Third Master Shi waved his hand and said humbly, “There are still a lot of taros. I don’t know how long it will take to sell more than a thousand catties. Today, my wife even asked me how many taros our family will plant this year. I estimate that other than leaving an acre of land to plant food, the rest of the land will be planted with taros. Anyway, other than planting taros, I don’t know how to plant anything else!”

Although he said that, everyone felt that he was showing off.

The corners of a villager’s mouth twitched as he said, “Third Uncle, don’t be humble. Right now, your family’s taro is the best seller of the things in our village. I heard from Little Gu that the traffic on the website will increase in the future, and our things will also sell. In the future, your family’s taro will definitely sell even better. Therefore, you don’t have to know how to plant anything. You just have to plant the taro well. Perhaps your family can earn a lot by planting taro. This is also a way to make money.”

If something in his family was easy to sell, they would definitely specialize in planting these things.

Just like Shi Lichun and his brothers, the three of them were very good at planting watermelons and oranges. Therefore, they planted watermelons every year and did their best to manage the navel orange.

Therefore, the three brothers earned more than 200,000 every year by growing watermelons and navel oranges.

But the others couldn’t.

“Hehe, Third Uncle, your family has more than five acres of land. If you use one acre of land to grow food, won’t you still have more than four acres of land left? One acre of real estate yields more than 3,000 catties, and more than four acres of land produces more than 10,000 catties of taro. More than 10,000 catties. 3 dollars per catty is at least 50,000 dollars. The taro can be planted for two seasons. The harvest that year is nearly 100,000 dollars. Third Uncle, it looks like you really have to consider planting taro on all of your lands.”

Third Master Shi glanced at him and said angrily, “Kid, why are you specifically eyeing my family’s land and my family’s taro? Besides, it looks like the taro is easy to sell now. If we plant too many, who knows if it’s easy to sell or not? This is what I’m worried about!”

He didn’t know what to do.

If the taro continued to sell well, he could rent a few more acres of land to plant it.

However, the problem was that his family’s taro was not always so easy to sell.

10,000 dollars was too much, but if it was no longer popular?

“Third Uncle, I think you’re just worrying for nothing! Your family’s taros aren’t just sold in town, they’re sold online to the entire country. Just because your family has a lot of taros doesn’t mean that others have a lot too. Your family’s taros are planted well and delicious. There are also many repeat customers,” the villager analyzed seriously.

Third Master Shi said worriedly, “That’s what I said. One can never be too careful. If one can be too careful, it won’t be easy to sell. Won’t I lose out?”

Ordinary farmers did not have such courage.

They had always been conscientiously guarding their personal fiefs. When they looked further away, they were timid. Third Master Shi was also one of these people.

Previously, he had planted taro in 50% of the land because he wanted to pick some taro every day to sell in Wei Town and earn some income every day.

However, he did not have the courage to plant four to five acres of land at once.

Hence, someone suggested, “Third Uncle, perhaps you can go to Lichun’s house and ask Little Gu. I think she’ll know better about whether your taro is easy to sell online!”

Third Master Shi’s expression turned fierce. He shook his head and said, “That won’t do. We’ve already troubled Little Gu. We can’t look for Little Gu every time something happens. She must be quite tired. When Little Gu established this online shop to sell things, it was to make it convenient for us to sell things. We’re already very grateful that she has the intention, but we can’t push our luck. Once something happens, we look for this child.”

A villager suggested, “Third Uncle, since you can’t ask Little Gu, why don’t you ask Zhou Fangfang? Zhou Fangfang follows Gu Qingming. Perhaps she knows too.”

“But this child is also busy!” Third Master Shi was also a little embarrassed.
