The merchant did not dare to reply to the message because the tray of five fruits was sold out

The closer to the Lunar New Year, the demand for five-fruit trays is increasing. At a facility specializing in providing ready-made five-fruit trays at Trung Kinh Street, Cau Giay District, the staff worked hard at full capacity to pay enough goods for customers.According to Mr. Luu Dinh Viet, the owner of the facility, from December 20 (January 11, Duong), he has mobilized many seasonal employees and started receiving the service of providing five-fruit trays on Tet holiday. “I mainly retail carved watermelons and large and small five-fruit trays,” said Mr. Viet.According to him, since December 26, the number of five-fruit trays has reached 100 trays per day. Before the demand for orders increased, Mr. Viet had to hire 5 main workers and 4 apprentices, but he still did not have enough human resources. “Last year I also hired 20 people. The more people you hire, the more you can do. This year, I can’t hire many people, so I only dare to accept applications according to my ability to provide,” he added.Each melon engraved with the theme of Tet is retailed at a price ranging from 250,000 – 500,000 VND / fruit and can increase the price to 1,000,000 VND on the 29th and 30th, when supplies are too scarce.For 3 years now, every time during a holiday season like Mid-Autumn Festival, Lunar New Year… Mr. Pham Xuan Thuan has been hired by Mr. Viet to arrange a five-fruit tray because of his experience. Wages are paid according to the number of five-fruit trays made and the skill of the workers. On this Tet holiday, Mr. Thuan started working on December 20 and has an average income of about 1.3 million/day. “There was a time when I stayed up 40 hours to run the number of products because it was too crowded,” he said.A tray of five fruits here has an average price of about 2 million VND. According to Mr. Viet, the cheapest tray costs 900,000 VND, the most expensive tray can be up to 10 million VND depending on customer requirements.To make the five-fruit tray more eye-catching and special with the theme of Tet holiday, in addition to a variety of colorful fruits, Mr. Viet also decorated many accessories such as red envelopes, apricot branches, red cherry branches, and stickers. the word “blessings, fortune, longevity” and conifers…The five-fruit tray is combined from at least 5 different types of fruit. Depending on the concept and region, 5 types of fruit are flexibly arranged. “The society is increasingly modern, the trend is that players always like beautiful and unique, so the service provided must also be constantly renewed. Especially with high-priced fruit trays, not only provide a variety of fruits, but also have to be unique,” Mr. Viet shared.The five-fruit tray on the altar on the traditional New Year’s Day in Northern families will often have a bunch of green bananas placed at the bottom, in the middle put large fruits, dotted around with small fruits. However, the way to display and decorate the five-fruit tray is increasingly diverse and can be mixed between different regions.At this time, buyers have to pay more than 100,000 VND for a 3-km technology car ride. “Nowadays, people usually order online, so we mostly have to order technology cars to deliver to customers. However, booking a car is quite difficult because not only are few drivers active, but they are also limited to receiving items on Tet holiday.Facing the overcrowded situation of ordering five-fruit trays on Tet, a fruit shop in Dich Vong ward, Cau Giay district had to stop this service from December 27 and only maintain the form of selling by kg at the store.According to Ms. Phuc An, the shop’s owner, because selling by kg was too “expensive”, the shop did not have enough time and human resources to extend this service until the 30th of Tet. It is known that each tray of five fruits she has ever received is the cheapest at 650,000 VND, the most expensive is up to 2 million depending on the decoration and the type of fruit. “Making a five-fruit tray requires a lot of work, so it takes a long time, besides, it’s very difficult to hire workers at this time, so I have to stop making five-fruit trays,” added Ms. An.Before that, Ms. An took pictures of the designs of the five-fruit tray and posted them on social networks to attract customers. “However, now I don’t even dare to read the messages because of the number of inquiries and orders that I can’t receive,” she said.
