Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 2006 - 1759: Discussion in Baiyu County (Part 2)

Lun Chuan savored the taste carefully again and similarly didn't eat much more, just nodded and said: 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Compared to others on the market, this can be considered as a premium product. The rose fragrance is very strong."

It truly is rich; even after the grapes are eaten, there remains a lingering aroma in the mouth.

At the same time, the sweetness is appropriate, refreshing without being cloying, and the flesh is both crisp and chewy, quite distinctive.

Yan Ran and the others, after eating a few fruits, also held a fruit plate and picked some from the fruit in front of them:

"We'll go do some basic tests first — by the way, can the orchard be visited now? We need to randomly take some samples."

What test? What samples?

The branch secretary remembered the instruments they had brought and quickly stood up:

"We can! We can! Everything is possible! We don't randomly spray pesticides here and use biological ones instead."

The so-called biological pesticides — Lao Song's family uses them as well.

After all, although Song Tan can repel insects, she can't avoid using pesticides entirely — it would be obvious to anyone that there's a big problem.

Biological agents are often pricier, like microbial pesticides such as Bacillus subtilis, and plant-based ones like neem.

There are also animal-based pesticides, semiochemicals, and beneficial insect formulations, etc.

They can control pests and diseases, and they don't easily leave residues or develop resistance — the downside is they're expensive for large-scale use.

The village branch secretary enthusiastically led people to the door, then called to the young generation waiting outside:

"Da Liang, they want to go to the orchard for sample tests; take them around, they can visit any house."

This attitude is extremely sincere, but Yan Ran and the others felt it was only natural —

Coming to sell goods requires sample testing from every orchard, and each orchard needs a significant amount of samples, since even a slight mistake could harm Qiaoqiao's reputation.

Fortunately, the equipment of the new batch, while not having many functions, yields results quickly, avoiding extended delays there.

The branch secretary returned to the room and saw the fairy-like Song Tan asking the young male family member beside her:

"How are the grapes?"

Qiaoqiao nodded: "Not as tasty as ours, but still good."

The branch secretary saw the sincerity and calmness in his words, and finally sensed some slight oddity, quietly wondering:

Why bring such family members when negotiating business...

Feeling slightly uncomfortable, he refrained from expressing it, as he needed their help.

Besides, this minor displeasure also stemmed from their belittling of the fruit —

He couldn't lie truthfully; he had never eaten grapes as good as these, yet they repeatedly said they weren't as good as their family's...

Could they also be grape growers?

No reason to help sell their goods from afar, wouldn't that increase the competition?

While the village secretary's mind was racing, Song Tan was already considering the grapes —

Without Spiritual Energy enhancement, their taste indeed paled compared to those at home.

But in terms of flavor and other aspects, they indeed outshone the average.

It's clear enough, tasting like a clean, unadulterated fruit.

"The grapes are nice."

Seeing the sweat still flowing as they sat in the air-conditioned room, she didn't stall or tease but rather directly said:

"If all aspects of the tests meet the standards, we're willing to promote it this time. However, apart from the price, there are other requirements during promotion, and we must see if you can fulfill them."

The branch secretary breathed a sigh of relief and promptly replied:

"We can! We can! We can!"

But then he thought, the young people mentioned the company and their legal department, which might impose strict demands, so he felt slightly apprehensive and said:

"There are many major grape growers in the village; should I have them come over to listen together?"

Song Tan nodded: "Of course, that's fine, and we can discuss what pricing for these grapes would be appropriate."

The question was directed at Lun Chuan — after all, he was wealthy, and his family's vegetables and fruits weren't cheap before.

Lun Chuan pondered: "Last year in the Imperial City, I ate grapes priced at 121 per pound, but considering this year's nationwide price drop for Sunshine Rose, plus we're sourcing directly from the base, the price should be discounted."

Regarding how much to discount, Song Tan checked her phone — Yan Ran had gathered prices from alumni all over, and for this quality, they estimated between fifty to sixty.

Since that's the case...

"Qiaoqiao, we'll also make grades: forty, thirty, twenty per pound, and none below twenty."
