Other ways to eat Sanhua plums

The eating method demonstrated in the video above, there is another way to eat in our local area, which is to cut the plums into pieces and dry them in the sun to make them into dried Sanhua plums, but this is very costly because the plums can be sold directly at a good price, and if you dry them in the sun and cut them into pieces, and then get wet in bad weather, you will waste your efforts in minutes. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I think I'm going to be able to.

Things are scarce and expensive, and extra-large fruits are rare, and you can't get more than a few on a hill.

The mainstream is still big fruit, we sell mainly big fruit, small and medium-sized fruit is usually wholesale to the wholesale fruit market, the quality is relatively not so good.

Our local area is generally the best quality plums used as gift fruit, this part of the plums we pick and packaged with special care, because we want to try to ensure that the surface of the Sanhua plum "powder" is not scratched (because there is a layer of white powder and named "Yinfei"). "

Generally speaking, it is a good idea to keep the surface of the plums as clean as possible.)

Generally, picking the plums leaves a mark when you touch them gently, so you have to pay special attention to picking them, and it takes a lot of time.

One of the most important factors in pricing plums in our region is the integrity of the "powder" on the surface of the plums, which is a natural cling film that cannot be synthesized artificially.

In the market sale of plums, it is difficult to buy this quality of plums, because the best fruit are used to make gift fruit.

Express generally send, EMS, SF these because they promise the province next day to (Qian row town from Guangzhou City, more than 300 kilometers), as long as you're not particularly remote, today send the next day can basically arrive (of course, I can not make a ticket to be sure that can be reached, I can only say that before the customers) 99% can receive the goods the next day). We will try to choose the fastest way to your hands.

We usually pick in the morning and send at noon, and strive to deliver the best Sanhua plums to your hands (of course, it is best to pick them directly from the tree and eat them).

Because the biggest thing about Sanhua plums is the freshness, as the old saying goes: "I'd rather eat a mouthful of fresh plums than a basket of rotten apricots," the importance of freshness to plums is self-evident.

Directly to the packing box to the fruit tree box to reduce the secondary damage

Sanhua plum packaging we will have a special foam box, which can prevent the plums in the process of transportation to prevent the courier brothers of the violent delivery of damage, but the price of the foam box is not low, coupled with the cost of cardboard boxes simply packaging costs to go to 5 dollars.

The plums on the market are generally purchased through the local centralized - wholesalers - supermarkets / vendors - consumers, the timeline is longer, but the price will be cheaper! , depending on what everyone wants.

Additionally: outside of Guangdong Province, Guangdong Province does not include postage! Because postage is very expensive, far away provinces Sanhua plum express fee are more than the price of plums.

Other

Since 2016, I have been selling our hometown Sanhua plums in the circle of friends (at first, I would actually feel embarrassed and feel like selling advertisements), and then I thought about it later, our Sanhua plums are hard-earned and planted by our family.

I like it myself and it's delicious, so I'm happy to recommend it to everyone.

The government of the town of Qianpai is also more powerful, these years also continue to attract investment, the introduction of material system, to broaden the sales channels, every year will also be held in the "plum blossom festival" "fruit festival" greatly increased the exposure of the Qianpai Sanyhua plums and popularity.

Thanks to all my friends for their support and trust, the most impressive thing is that there is a colleague from the first year we sold Sanhua plums in the circle of friends, there are with me to buy, has been continuously with me to buy 4 years.
