Chapter 2 A good start

Saturday, June 13, 2020.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the Qin family's large troops were dispatched. Qin's father and mother, third uncle and third aunt, fifth uncle and fifth aunt, younger uncle and younger aunt, and Qin Liufu himself, a total of nine people went up the mountain to pick lychees.

This means only picking one or two thousand kilograms of lychees. If Qin's father agreed to pick all the 17,800 kilograms of lychees on the mountain, there would be more than this person.

A group of nine people, including Qin Liufu, were all used to farm work, especially picking lychees. They were all very skilled. They completed the tasks of picking, pruning branches and leaves and framed them in just over an hour.

At this time, the small truck that we had contacted last night had already stopped at the foot of the mountain, and everyone began to carry lychees to the foot of the mountain.

The lychees that were about two thousand kilograms were easily transported from the mountain after only two times.

When loading the car, my uncle Qin Youjin patted Qin Liufu on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, do it well. I still have four or five thousand kilograms of black leaves. If you open up sales in the provincial capital, I will pick it and transport it to you."

"Don't worry, uncle, my lychee preservation technology will definitely not have any problems. Just wait for my phone call." Qin Liufu said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll wait!" Qin Youjin nodded with satisfaction.

"Lao Liu, I have three or four thousand kilograms, don't forget!" Uncle Qin Youcai also spoke.

"I have more, nearly 10,000 kilograms in my place!" said the fifth uncle Qin Youbao.

"I haven't forgotten, Uncle and Third Aunt, Uncle and Fifth Aunt, and Uncle and Aunt, you all wait. When my nephew opens up sales in the provincial capital, I will call you as soon as possible!" Qin Liufu said with a smile.

In a few minutes, the lychees had been loaded. Qin's father took out the two thousand yuan that had been prepared and handed it to Qin Liufu, saying, "This is the freight. When you arrive at the place and unload the goods, you will give the freight to others."

Qin Liufu took the money, nodded silently, and said, "I understand, then I'll leave."

...

From Qinghe Village to the provincial capital, it is about 300 or nearly 400 kilometers. Qin Liufu set out at around 10 am and did not arrive at the place where his second sister lived until 3:48 pm.

Qin Liufu called his second sister last night and talked about renting a temporary warehouse, but he was lucky. The landlord whom he rented happened to have a garage on the first floor of the first floor, so his second sister spent 300 yuan a month to rent the garage.

After graduating from junior high school at the age of 16, my second sister Qin Erying went out to work. The previous few years were not stable, so she changed several jobs. Later, after someone introduced her, she came to a chain clothing store in the provincial capital as a shopping guide, and then she gradually stabilized.

The benefits of clothing stores are four days off every month, and the monthly salary + commission will be about four or five thousand yuan.

It was Qin Erying's turn to rest tomorrow, but after receiving a call from Qin Liufu yesterday evening, she immediately called her colleague to adjust the shift and rest a day in advance.

"Second sister!"

"Lao Liu, the food is ready. You and Master Zhou go up and have a meal first!"

Master Zhou is from the next village and is about 40 years old. When he heard Qin Erying's words, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. This lychee cannot be kept in the carriage for too long. Let's unload the goods first!"

"Master Zhou, don't be too anxious to unload the goods. It's not a short time to eat. I only drank two bowls of white porridge in the morning. Now I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back." Qin Liufu said while touching his stomach.

"Yes, Master Zhou, what time can you take to have a meal? Go upstairs quickly. I'll calculate the time to cook the dishes. It will get cold if I wait!" Qin Erying also advised.

Seeing that the brother and brother were so enthusiastic, Master Zhou stopped refusing and said, "Since that's the case, I'll disturb you!"

...

When the last box of lychees was removed, Qin Liufu handed the two thousand dollars prepared by his father to Master Zhou and said, "Master Zhou, thank you for your hard work. This is the shipping fee, please click!"

Master Zhou took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, and smiled and said, "What else do you want? Brother Qin, can't believe me? I'm leaving, call me any time if I need it next time!"

Qin Liufu nodded and smiled, "It must be sure, it's a good journey!"

After Master Zhou drove away, Qin Erying looked at the lychees piled up in the garage with twenty bamboo frames and said, "Old Liu, how do you plan to sell so many lychees?"

"Second sister, you don't need to worry about this. I have my own way. While it's still early, you can print out your WeChat and Alipay payment code for me first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to collect money." Qin Liufu said.

"Lao Liu, do you know whether you use the money collection code? Do you know if someone else has paid for it successfully?" Qin Erying asked worriedly.

"Second sister, do you underestimate me? Although I don't have my own mobile phone, it doesn't mean I haven't played with my mobile phone! High school students in this era, especially those in the second and third year of high school, probably have mobile phones. I usually use my classmates' mobile phones to play with them, and I am very familiar with the various functions of the mobile phone." Qin Liufu said with a smile.

Qin Erying nodded and said, "Since you understand, that's enough. I'll print out the money collection code for you first, and I have to buy a scale, right? Otherwise, how can I weigh it when selling lychees?"

"No need to buy a scale, I don't need to sell lychees!"

"Anyway, you can just know what you know. Then I'll get you a money collection code first."

"Well, let's go together. When I came here just now, I saw a lot of people selling fruits at the intersection of the kindergarten. I'll go and ask about the market first!"

"Well, then let's go!"

Before closing, Qin Liufu directly used the two functions of "recovery" and "improvement" of the fruit app. Without knowing that the 20-frame lychees in the garage changed quietly.

Qin Liufu grabbed a large bunch of lychees and waited for his second sister to close the car door before handing them over and saying, "Come on, second sister, how does it taste like our lychees this year?"

Qin Erying was not polite either. She took a few of the large string of lychees and walked towards the intersection of the kindergarten, while skillfully peeling and stuffing them into her mouth.

The solid, crisp, sweet and juicy fresh meat made Qin Erying nodded repeatedly. This year the quality of this black leaf should be considered the best in history.

When he walked to the fork in the kindergarten, Qin Liufu left a small string of lychees himself, stuffed the rest of the lychees to his second sister, and said, "Second sister, you go and print the money collection code first!"

Qin Erying knew that he was going to stay here to inquire about the market, so she nodded and took the lychees while eating them while heading towards the intersection on the left.

After his second sister left, Qin Liufu walked straight to the closest fruit stall selling lychees. This fruit stall was actually an electric tricycle with a piece of cardboard hanging on the back compartment with the words "Freshly launched black-leaf lychees, 8 yuan per catty."

The owner of the fruit stall was a woman in her forties. When she saw Qin Liufu coming over, she saw him holding lychees in his hand, but her professional instinct still asked her to greet him: "Little handsome guy, do you buy lychees? The black leaves I just picked today are only sold for 8 yuan per pound."

"Boss, I am also a black leaf, try it!" Qin Liufu picked two of them casually and handed them over and said.

The boss lady was a little confused when she saw this, subconsciously took the lychee and asked, "Little handsome guy, what do you mean?"

"Boss, please try my lychees first and see how the quality is?" Qin Liufu said with a smile.

The boss lady is a kind-hearted person. Although she didn't understand the meaning, she still smiled and said, "That's it, okay, I'll try it!" After saying that, she looked at the two lychees in her hand that were full of flesh and shape and color, and skillfully peeled them into her mouth and stuffed them into her mouth to taste them.

"Boss lady, what's the quality?" Qin Liufu asked with a smile when he saw the boss lady's eyes lit up slightly.

The boss's wife is aware of the goods and praised him after hearing this: "The quality is very good. I haven't tasted such good quality black leaf lychees for several years. Little handsome guy, do you know where to sell it?"

"To be honest, I just transported a batch of black-leaf lychees from my hometown today. If you need it, you can come to me to get the goods. The price will definitely not be more expensive than what you get in the wholesale market." Qin Liufu said with a smile on his face.

The boss lady said with a look of surprise: "Little handsome guy, are you serious? Is the quality the same as the one in your hands?"

"Of course it's the same." Qin Liufu said in affirmatively.

"That's great. My surname is Zhang. My handsome guy. Are you noble? Where is your goods? Is it far away from here?" the boss asked impatiently.

"Don't let your surname be Qin, Sister Zhang, my goods are at the back of this path. You'll be here after a turn from here." Qin Liufu pointed to the garage and said.

Sister Zhang has the kind of decisive and decisive temperament, and she didn't want to wait for a moment, so she hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, take me to see the goods first!"

"This... Sister Zhang, will it be fine? I want to attract more customers here!" Qin Liufu said embarrassedly.

"Oh, Brother Qin, why are you attracting customers? Let's go and see the goods first. If the quality is so good and the price is suitable, I will give you all the money!" Sister Zhang said with a big bag.

"Really and false? Sister Zhang, you can't fool me. I have about two thousand kilograms of lychees. Can you really eat them alone?" Qin Liufu said half-believingly.

"Brother Qin, I'm not alone. My whole family is in this industry. I'm just responsible for one of the stalls in the West District." The boss's wife has been in this business for many years, so she naturally knows how helpful the good source of goods is to the business. She can eat the whole family and naturally doesn't want outsiders to interfere.

Qin Liufu didn't expect that the first customer he just found was a big customer, so he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Zhang, come with me!"

After saying that, she walked in front of the road. Sister Zhang didn't say anything, and stopped doing business, so she followed her in a car.

In just one or two minutes, Qin Liufu took Sister Zhang back to the garage where lychees were stored, and took out the keys to open the garage door. A unique fragrance of fresh lychees floated out.

"Sister Zhang, the lychees are all here. A bamboo frame is about 100 kilograms, a total of twenty frames. They are all picked and loaded and transported this morning. As soon as the goods were unloaded, I went out to attract customers. Sister Zhang, you are my first customer." Qin Liufu said with a smile.

Sister Zhang, who walked into the garage, looked at each frame after another. Based on her years of experience in identifying fruits, she naturally saw that this batch of lychees is indeed so fresh that it cannot be more fresh. Moreover, the lychees on the bamboo frame are very good, and they are almost perfect in shape and color. I just don’t know whether the quality of the lychees at the bottom of the frame is consistent with the above.

Qin Liufu had already considered this issue. Seeing that Sister Zhang had seen one frame after another, he said, "Sister Zhang, you can taste every frame of lychees at will, and you don't have to worry that the quality of the lychees at the bottom of the box is not as good as above. When you are sure to ask for them, you can pour out all the lychees and carefully check and taste them."

When Sister Zhang heard Qin Liufu say this, she was completely relieved and immediately said straight to the point: "Brother Qin, I am not a fool, I like to go straight to it. I went to the wholesale market yesterday to get goods. The wholesale price of Black Leaf is 5 yuan per catty. If you have no objection to this price, I will be able to pack the goods here!"

"Sister Zhang, you know the quality of my lychee. Since you are so happy, I won't be too lazy. Given that you are my first customer, I can give you two choices." Qin Liufu raised two fingers: "The first choice is to make you round with 5 yuan per pound. The second choice is to make you round with 6 yuan per pound."

Sister Zhang asked in confusion: "What are the benefits of this second choice?"

"Of course there is a benefit. I can give you a promise to Sister Zhang. If this batch of lychees becomes scented and you haven't sold out yet, no matter how much you have left, you can ship them back to me. I can change the black leaves of better quality at the same weight for you." Qin Liufu said with a killer move.

Sister Zhang widened her eyes and said in a silence: "Are you serious about this?" No wonder she was so surprised. Who doesn't know that preservation is the most important thing in fruit business, especially lychee business? If this promise made by Qin Liufu is true, it will definitely be a sure profit for her.

"Of course it's true. You don't have to worry that I will run away after selling this batch of lychees. To tell you the truth, these two thousand kilograms of lychees are just used to fight the front station. If the sale goes smoothly, there will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of lychees with better quality waiting to be shipped up and sold!" Qin Liufu said lightly.

"Okay, Brother Qin, then we'll make up for it in one sentence, 6 yuan per pound, I'll pack this batch of lychees!" Sister Zhang waved her hand generously and made a decision.

"Good, then just say a word!" Qin Liufu nodded with a smile.

The first business in life was so smooth and smooth, without any twists and turns.
