When Hehua returned to the village and announced the price of persimmons at four yuan per jin and hawthorns at eight yuan per jin,
it was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar.
It got all the villagers excited!
"What? Persimmons can sell for four yuan per jin? How is that possible? I just went to the market two days ago and sold persimmons for only eight mao per jin!"
"When did persimmons become so valuable?"
The villagers were buzzing because many of their families grew persimmons. After all, this type of fruit didn't require meticulous management, often referred to as "lazy man's fruit."
That's why they planted some, not necessarily to make big money, but to supplement household expenses.
But no one expected that the price would be so high.
"It's definitely cheaper to sell them in town, because the people there are very poor, and everyone has relatives who grow some persimmons, so there's no need to buy any."
