Chapter 277 The price has to be increased! (4200 words) Please vote for me, good night
"Shujie, what happened?" Cheng Xiaolin, who was standing next to her, saw the wonderful change in the expression on her husband's face and realized that something must have happened.
Cao Shujie shook his head and said, "I'll finish my work first and I'll tell you in the evening."
It was around 5 p.m. when the last two guests in the orchard left carrying two pots of strawberries.
Cao Shujie looked at the slowly setting sun in the west. The temperature between the sky and the earth also slowly dropped. A gust of wind blew over, making it cool and very comfortable.
Let's go to the farm restaurant for a dinner tonight. All the delicious food and drinks are served, and cold beer and drinks are ready.
His wife went over in advance to order food and greet the big guys for dinner.
After the last check, Cao Shujie locked the door, took the box containing the money, and rode his electric tricycle down the mountain. When he got home, he took out all the money from several boxes and put them in the safe. Then he picked up his grandfather and daughter and headed towards the farm restaurant.
Rush over.
In the car, Mengmeng said to her father: "Dad, it's so annoying. I can't even go out."
"Why?" Cao Shujie asked her with a smile.
Then I heard Mengmeng say: "As soon as I go out, many people hug me and kiss me. I don't like it!"
After hearing what his daughter said, Cao Shujie smiled.
Most of these tourists came through videos uploaded to Youku by his wife.
The protagonists in these tourists’ videos, the ‘dog thief’ Cao Shujie and the little thief-catching warrior Mengmeng, naturally pay more attention to them.
But Cao Shujie is an adult who is almost 30 years old, so it is not fun no matter how you look at it.
On the contrary, the cute and fleshy look is more likable.
Mengmeng and her grandfather went out to play together. Many tourists on the street saw her and wanted to take pictures with her.
Mengmeng had already experienced this kind of battle during the Qingming Festival, but she still couldn't accept it. There were too many people who wanted to take photos with her.
Mengmeng thought about playing games with Cao Bingbing and the others, and reading comic books with Xixi, Cao Wanyi and the others, but she was definitely not taking pictures with some unknown uncles and aunts.
"Mengmeng, it's okay. Those uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters like you, so they took pictures with you." Cao Shujie said.
"I don't care anyway!" Mengmeng shook her little head, refusing to listen to this.
Cao Shujie took his grandfather and daughter to the farm restaurant and suddenly found that many people in the village were eating here.
This made him feel quite fresh.
But he was also very happy to see the result.
In this way, farmhouse restaurants are not only doing business for tourists, but also starting to do business for the village.
Later, people from surrounding villages, towns, and counties may also come to eat.
In this way, if it is done well, the brand of Caojiazhuang Farm Restaurant will be established, instead of relying on tourists to survive.
Many people saw Cao Shujie holding his daughter's hand with one hand and supporting his grandfather with the other hand as he walked in. They all turned around to greet them.
"Uncle Tiger, are you here for dinner too?"
"Hey, Mengmeng is here too. Tell grandma what you want to eat?"
"Shujie, are there still so many people there tomorrow? Let me see if I can go there with a cart and sell some things tomorrow. Others have made the money. How can this be done?"
Cao Shujie followed the voice and looked over, only to realize that the person speaking was Gao Qiang.
Cao Shujie also asked him: "Qiangzi, are you lying at home reading novels again and not doing anything serious all day long, which makes your wife dislike you?"
"You can pull her down, she, an old woman, dares to speak against me?" Gao Qiang said as if he was very powerful.
But many people present knew what was going on. Everyone looked at him with a smile, and no one exposed him.
After Mengmeng came over, she moved her little head back and forth to look for Cheng Xiaolin. When she saw her, Mengmeng immediately shouted: "Mom!"
The next moment, she threw away her father's hand and ran directly towards her mother.
When she came to Cheng Xiaolin's side, Mengmeng then began to complain, repeating what she had just said to her father.
Hearing her daughter's complaint against the tourists, Cheng Xiaolin had to be careful. She bent down and picked up her daughter, sat her on her lap, and then asked her: "Mengmeng, tell mom, who is there today? It doesn't matter whether you want it or not."
If you are willing, I will let you cooperate in taking pictures, and mom will take care of them for you."
"That's it, that's it..." Mengmeng was excited just now, but now she found that she couldn't say a name.
She doesn't know them at all, what should I say?
When Cheng Xiaolin saw the expression on her daughter's face, she knew what was going on and quickly coaxed her: "Okay, okay, Mengmeng, didn't you keep saying this beef is delicious yesterday? Come on, mommy will give you another piece.
Eat enough."
When she heard that there was food, Mengmeng's attention was diverted. She said, "Mom, give me beef quickly."
Seeing her mother holding a piece for her, Mengmeng grabbed it and started to chew it. Cheng Xiaolin asked her, "Have you washed your hands?"
"Washed it, dad washed it for me at home." Mengmeng said.
Cheng Xiaolin then put the beef in her daughter's hand: "Eat quickly, I'll give it to you after you finish."
"Okay!" Mengmeng stuffed a third of the beef into her mouth in one go, making her whole little mouth bulge, making it difficult to take a bite.
Cheng Xiaolin frowned and became worried when she saw her daughter eating this way.
"You can't eat slower." Cheng Xiaolin said to her.
"You'll chew it up later and you'll spit it out again."
She was very familiar with her daughter's behavior, and she was so angry that she wanted to beat her, and then she glared and said, "Mengmeng, if you dare to waste time, I will beat you."
"Hehe!" Mengmeng pretended not to understand.
Holding the beef in one hand, he turned around and got out of his mother's arms and ran towards his father.
But Cao Shujie also saw through his daughter's 'plot' and ignored her at all.
Mengmeng had no choice but to keep chewing the beef in her mouth but refused to swallow it. Many people couldn't help but laugh when they saw her like this.
Wang Leigang was also waiting anxiously for this day. The three cows he got last time were about to bottom out.
But there are so many tourists during the day that there is really no way to go up the mountain to catch cattle, so we can only do it at night.
Wang Leigang didn't expect that beef would sell so well. Some people even bought some braised beef to take back after eating it.
This made Wang Leigang make up his mind to get three more animals to be slaughtered tonight.
After the slaughter is completed, I will call on a few more people to clean it up overnight and marinate it!
He didn't pay attention at first, but later several customers told him that the beef he bought from Boss Cao was a little different and tasted better.
It also tastes more delicious!
Wang Lei only really noticed this after hearing the feedback from customers.
After dinner in the evening, everyone else left. Cao Shujie asked his wife to take his grandfather and daughter back, while he stayed and went up the mountain to catch cattle with Wang Leigang.
On the way, Cao Shujie took the initiative to talk to Wang Leigang about the quality of beef and asked him what the customer feedback was like?
At this time, Wang Leigang seemed to understand something. He smiled and said: "Boss Cao, don't tell me, many tourists want to buy some more to take home to eat after eating."
"The meat quality of the cattle you raise is indeed better than a lot of beef on the market." Wang Leigang said.
When the high-rail cart came up, Wang Lei just went in and randomly selected three cows, put a rope on them and pulled them out, then pulled them onto the high-rail cart.
This time he did not rush to follow the high-rail car, but continued chatting with Cao Shujie: "Boss Cao, please increase the price!"
"..." Cao Shujie found it difficult to make an offer.
He said: "These three heads will still be at the original price we set. We will renegotiate later."
"No problem!" Wang Leigang didn't find it unacceptable.
There are some things he knows very well.
It's just that neither of them knew it at first, and they didn't think about the quality of the meat.
For Cao Shujie, this farm restaurant at the foot of the mountain is more like promoting his cattle. Otherwise, who would believe it if he just said it with his mouth?
This is the same as when he first started selling kiwi fruits, he took his kiwi fruits to Pingyuan County, Yiling City, and the provincial capital Quancheng to deliver them for free.
It is impossible to sell beef at sky-high prices, but if it is sold at the current market price of ordinary beef, Cao Shujie will not be so stupid.
He was thinking about taking out food in the future. How much would it cost?
No matter how good something is, it still has value.
After talking about this matter, Wang Lei felt calm when he left. After Cao Shujie greeted Zhuang Xuesong, who was on the night shift, he also went down the mountain and went home.
It was not yet 10 o'clock in the evening, and Grandpa Cao Zhenghu had already fallen asleep.
His sister Cao Huifang also went to bed early because she was too tired.
When he came upstairs, Cao Shujie discovered that the small desk lamp in the bedroom was still on, and the orange light shone on the head of the bed. His wife, Cheng Xiaolin, was lying on her side on the bed, playing games with her mobile phone in her hand.
"How boring are you!" Cao Shujie said to her.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't care. She said, "I just want to wait for you to come back and find something to kill time. If you don't come back, I won't feel at ease."
"Why are you not at ease? What else could happen to me in Caojiazhuang?" Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband: "You look strange this afternoon. What's going on?"
Cao Shujie suddenly realized that his wife had misunderstood.
"At that time, Brother Cui called me and said that the beef we raised at home has better meat quality than the beef on the market. He asked me not to sell it cheaply."
"That's it?" Cheng Xiaolin was very surprised.
She thought something had happened.
Cao Shujie was too lazy to talk to her: "Otherwise, what do you think is going on? Could it be that someone came to Caojiazhuang to kidnap me?"
Having said this, Cao Shujie still clenched his fists and showed off his biceps to his wife: "Honey, look at my muscles, how do you think?"
Cheng Xiaolin was amused by him and said: "It's just a piece of fat, it's almost integrated. Why are you proud?"
Cao Shujie was filled with displeasure. What does this mean?
But Cheng Xiaolin ignored him, turned sideways, lay on the bed and prepared to sleep.
Cao Shujie shouted: "I'll come and take care of you after I take a shower."
Unfortunately, when he came back after taking a bath, his wife was already fast asleep, and she was snoring so lightly that Cao Shujie was too embarrassed to wake her up again.
The night has passed!
When people welcome the new sun, the May Day holiday has also come to the last day.
There were obviously a lot less people coming to play in the orchard on this day.
Cao Shujie had already been mentally prepared, and he did not find this incident very scary.
Moreover, the strawberries in the orchard are a bit overwhelmed after picking them for the past two days, and they need time to grow and bear fruit again.
He was busy until noon, when his sister Cao Huifang suddenly came over and said to him: "Brother, I have to take the bus back to school this afternoon, and I have to go to class tomorrow morning."
"Can we still make it in time?" Cao Shujie looked at the time. He knew clearly that because of the May Day holiday, there were many people going back by car at this time.
The car is not easy to ride in.
His sister Cao Huifang said: "It's not bad. When the time comes, we can just stand and squeeze in to get to Yiling City."
"Don't be rude. You go home, change your clothes, pack your luggage, and I'll pick some strawberries for you. I'll drive you to school in a while." This is what Cao Shujie said.
After hearing this, Cao Huifang quickly refused: "Brother, no need, besides you are very busy here."
Cao Shujie refused to listen and said, "Let's do it. I'll pick some strawberries for you and bring them with you."
Half an hour later, Cao Shujie arranged the work in the orchard. He carried four full pots of strawberries down the mountain and put them on his GL8 car.
This is also Cao Huifang's first time riding in her brother's car. Even though she said she refused, she really wanted to try this car to see if it was more comfortable.
"Brother, how long can strawberries be sold for?" Cao Huifang asked curiously on the way to Yiling City.
Cao Shujie said: "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."
"Normally, selling for two months is not a big problem."
When Cao Huifang heard what her brother said, her face was full of joy: "Brother, then you are rich."
"It's just to earn some hard-earned money." Cao Shujie said shamelessly.
When Cao Huifang heard this, she immediately covered her ears and stopped listening.
"Brother, I found that you are quite good at pretending. What does it mean to earn hard money? I have many senior brothers and sisters who have entered corporate units. Why do I feel that they will never be able to earn the money you make from selling strawberries?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how can I earn so much?" Cao Shujie refused to admit it.
He also told his sister not to talk nonsense in school and to be low-key.
When the car passed the temporary long-distance bus station in Qingshi Town, the brother and sister looked out of the car window and found that there were many people riding or waiting for the bus outside.
Fortunately, I didn't take a long-distance bus. If I had to wait, I might not be able to get to school even after dark.
Two hours passed before they knew it. Cao Huifang still didn't feel anything. They had arrived at the gate of Yiling University.
Looking at the students dragging their suitcases towards the campus one after another at the door, Cao Shujie suddenly remembered something and asked her sister: "Fangfang, do you still have money? If you don't have any, I'll give you some."
"Oh, let me go, brother, I've been waiting for your words for two days!" Cao Huifang didn't feel embarrassed at all.
At least she helped her brother and worked for more than two days.
Cao Shujie was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he took down his sister's luggage from the car, then took down four pots of strawberries, and finally took out a wad of money from the glove box of the car, without counting it, and handed it directly to his sister: "
This is at least two to three thousand, is it enough for you to spend?"
"Brother, that's enough. I can't spend it all." Cao Huifang took the money and said with a smile.
Cao Shujie was too lazy to look at her, but he still didn't leave in a hurry. He stood at the school gate and looked at his sister, carrying four pots of strawberries and some things or personal belongings brought from home in his other hand, heading further away.
Walking to the girls dormitory building.
His sister was walking, and Cao Shujie suddenly saw someone in front of him whose figure he couldn't see clearly. He took some things from his sister's hand, followed her and walked away together.
"Fangfang has found a partner?" Cao Shujie was very puzzled, but he felt that this was not like his sister's character.
With his sister's carefree temperament, if she really found a partner, she would have publicized it for everyone on the road, unlike now that she has been home for three days without even mentioning a word.
