The expected income of the Rose Star Dew Orchard, 1000 Golden Crowns, is actually quite conservative. Su Li estimated that the selling price this year would undoubtedly exceed 5 Copper Coins per pound.
Last year, the sale at this price to West High Merchant was entirely due to the territory being remotely located, in a desolate period without any interested visitors. They were the sole merchant caravan, and it was they who determined the price.
This year, a large number of merchant associations and caravans will definitely arrive, driving up the prices of this specialty product.
In fact, if the apple industry were more developed, these merchant associations would have pre-ordered early in the year, deciding how many pounds of Rose Star Dew to procure from the orchard. Some associations might even sign bulk trading agreements with the farmers, agreeing to purchase at a set price regardless of the mature apple's market value, with heavy penalties for breach by either party.
