Cherry Valley’s cherries used to be priced at eighty yuan per kilogram. Now, after being processed into juice, one kilogram of cherries can produce two bottles of Cherry Juice, effectively costing 240 yuan per kilogram. She transported fifty kilograms from the cherry orchard as the first batch of juice trial.
"This is not all, we still have so Cherry Residue left," Xiao Xian and Xuerou quickly found a canning factory that had ceased production in winter. Utilizing the equipnt there, they produced the recently sold Cherry Juice.
"According to the experienced processor in the factory, they have never seen anyone use such good-quality cherries to make juice, kept saying we were being wasteful." The remaining Cherry Residue from the first fifty kilograms of cherries was delicious. After washing, pitting, and processing, about forty-nine kilograms were used for juicing, leaving over thirty kilograms of residue. These residues, after further processing, could be used to make jam or even other beverages, all of which still needed to be experinted with.
"Let’s continue from one place to another, and rember to keep the three-year cooperation contract you signed with Beijing Hotel well. I can’t just carry Uncle Qu around; from now on, it all depends on this newly signed contract." It was no coincidence that Beijing Hotel was chosen as the first client. Both Xuerou and Xiao Xian agreed that if they could secure a contract with a hotel that embodied national historical importance like Beijing Hotel, other hotels should be negotiable.
Sure enough, the several cherry-receiving hotels that originally cooperated with Cherry Valley, their purchasing managers also had so contacts. Upon confirming that Cherry Valley’s new product was accepted by Beijing Hotel, they all had this psychology: since Beijing Hotel accepted this kind of Cherry Juice, if a guest asks and they say they don’t have it, wouldn’t that lower their standing? Xiao Xian and Xuerou then smoothly signed seven or eight contracts.
During the process, Xiao Xian and Xuerou specifically ntioned that the contracts signed in previous years were void, and the other party agreed without a word.
After walking out of the last hotel, Shangri-La, it was already past three in the afternoon.
"The issue of fresh fruit supply is now resolved, even the hotels that were originally supplied with fresh flowers have chosen to sign the new Cherry Juice contract," said Xiao Xian who had always calculated things well. She fully disclosed everything about rose and Cherry Juice, even the matter of the old Array.
"It seems like good news, but this effectively doubles the supply demand for Cherry Juice. I’m worried that even if all cherries are processed, it might still be insufficient," Xiao Xian thought, feeling a new wave of concern.
"Yeah, I have thought of that already, don’t worry. We still have plenty of Cherry Residue left. Who says Cherry Juice can’t have so cherry pulp in it? Just like the orange beverages with pulp, we can call ours ’Pulp Cherries’. Also, I rember Watson sells a type of ginger cola; we could also develop a Ginger Water Cherry Juice. As long as the taste is good, it should not be a big issue." These plethora of juice ideas and concepts seed to suddenly flood into Xiao Xian’s mind.
Xiao Xian and Xuerou weren’t particularly fond of beverages, but Zhang Yiyi was, especially ginger cola which was her favorite winter beverage before transferring to the Huake Institute’s Reverse Genius Class, perfectly satisfying her desire for cola in winter and also preventing colds.
Before processing cherries at the canning factory, Xiao Xian had been using "Spirit Stacking" to make special ginger slices daily. Triggered by the shortage of pure Cherry Juice, this significantly stimulated Xiao Xian’s brain activity. Xiao Xian had a sudden inspiration to mix so herbal aroma into the cherry juice; the improved Cherry Juice, without affecting the taste, could prevent minor ailnts when drunk in winter. The function of this beverage could satisfy the taste of younger people and did not have to be confined to upscale hotels only. It can first be trialed in Agricultural Specialty Stores, which would also lower the costs.
Listening by the side, Xuerou kept nodding, surprised to see that Xiao Xian had quite a business mind. However, Cherry Juice sales had just started, and it might take so ti to beco well-known; they needed to wait patiently.
"That settles it then. You’ve really worked hard today, here’s a little benefit for you, dragging you out from ho during the holidays," Xiao Xian mysteriously took out two small bottles from her pocket.
A faint fragrance ensued, Xuerou saw a shimring pink liquid.
"What is this? I don’t want it, just helped out a bit and I also learned quite a lot," Xuerou saw Xiao Xian acting mysteriously, bringing the tube-like object to her nose, quickly uncapped the bottle, and then swiftly capped it again.
"Any woman would like this scent, and besides, this isn’t available in the market yet. One bottle for you, the other for your mother," Xiao Xian winked and slipped the items into Xuerou’s bag. Xuerou opened her bag and found two small bottles of silver-pink perfu. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welco to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets.
