Chapter 157: Chapter 157: High-end Ingredients (First Update)
Translator: 549690339
At 12 0’clock on December 24, during the Xiao Nian Festival, Xiao Jinli received a phone call from her maternal uncle.
Even through the phone, her uncle’s voice sounded very excited.
He said, “Jinli, do you know that the earthworms you brought back have been sold overseas and have become high-end ingredients? Haha, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.”
It had been six months since Gao Jianjun updated Xiao Jinli on the sales of the earthworms to foreign countries. It seemed to have taken quite a long time.
After all, the earthworms that Xiao Jinli had cultivated had only lived for about three to five months, so it was impossible for them to survive until now.
Xiao Jinli still seemed very surprised and said, “Oh, really, Uncle, that’s great!”
Gao Jianjun said, “To be categorized as high-end ingredients in the international market, products must undergo strict inspections, complicated processes, and be examined by industry insiders. Only then can they be labeled as high-end ingredients.”
Speaking of which, he lamented, “Ah, I just didn’t send enough earthworms abroad. Now, lots of famous hotels overseas are sending orders our way, but I don’t dare to accept them. It’s like watching a huge pile of money fly away right before my eyes.”
Xiao Jinli,
Gao Jianjun continued, “Jinli, I heard from your dad that you’ve contracted over five acres of land and raised more than 100,000 earthworms. Can you spare some of them? You should know that the price offered by those overseas orders has reached 88,000 yuan per jin.”
Xiao Jinli raised her eyebrows in surprise, “That high?”
She bought them for 100 yuan per jin, and after only three to four months, the price per jin had skyrocketed to 88,000 yuan. This was a huge profit.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be tempted.
But her purpose in raising earthworms was not to sell them directly but to help enrich the entire Xiao Family Village.
“Yes, yes, that’s how high it is.” Gao Jianjun nodded and said, “So, Jinli, can you raise more earthworms and sell them through foreign channels? With a price of 88,000 yuan, it would be heartbreaking to miss out.”
Xiao Jinli slightly raised her eyelids, covering her mouth and chuckling, “Uncle, we’re planting vegetables and fruits in our village next year, and my five acres of land and over 100,000 earthworms are already part of my plan.”
Gao Jianjun, ‘
Does this child realize that she’s missing out on a money-making opportunity?
“However, I plan to expand production and sell them as part of foreign trade deals,” Xiao Jinli said with a smile. “Also, we’ll be exporting the vegetables and fruits grown in Xiao Family Village along with the earthworms. Uncle, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask for your help when the time comes.”
‘ Gao Jianjun was suddenly anxious, and he asked, “Jinli, what do you mean by that? Are you planning to export the Xiao Family vegetables as well?”
Xiao Jinli nodded and said, “Yes, Uncle, that’s my plan. Uncle, you’ve tasted the vegetables from my family during summer vacation. How do you think they would fare if sold overseas?”
