Aunt Liu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she saw the two comrades from the market management office just leaving.
I thought to myself, how could there be no problem at all?
Look at the cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy vegetables on Xu Wanping's stall, and then look at your own, alas...
Look at Xu Wanping's business, and then look at my own, alas...
If Aunt Liu often surfs the Internet, she will know that there is such a word, it is called - control group.
Xu Wanping didn't have time to chat with her daughter until she sold the last handful of water spinach: "I also said that business is getting better this month, so I can save more money. This house will expire at the end of this month. If you don't like it, we won't renew it."
If you want to rent, go find a high-rise community near your school and rent a house upstairs. It will save you a long time to back up the car when you get home. What happened is like this... Fortunately, everything is okay, otherwise I don’t know what to do.
…”
When Xu Yin heard that, living in a high-rise building? How troublesome would that be for Ms. Xu, who gets up early every day to buy food and run stalls? She quickly dismissed her mother's idea: "Mom, this place is very good. Don't rent in a high-rise building."
"What's wrong? Don't you really want to live in a high-rise house?"
"...I suddenly didn't like it anymore, and I grew a lot of vegetables, which I could eat just before school started. It would be a pity to move them away."
When Xu Wanping heard this, she agreed: "But your school is too far away from here."
"It's okay. I only go back once a week, so just stay as far away as possible! When I get the scholarship, I will buy a battery-powered bicycle. Riding by myself will save more time than taking a car."
Xu Wanping: "..."
I really want to say: My dear girl, the admission score of your school is 249. You entered by passing the admission line. Have you forgotten? Are you so confident and sure of getting a scholarship?
You know, every time she heard her daughter talk about what she was doing after receiving the scholarship, she couldn't help but blush, but she couldn't say anything for fear of damaging her daughter's self-confidence.
Forget it, as long as she is happy.
Do you want to buy a battery car? If business continues to be as good as it has been in the past few days during the two months of summer vacation, I will buy one for my daughter before school starts!
Xu Wanping thought boldly in her heart.
Xu Yin was thinking about another thing:
"Mom, it's still early, I'm going out for a while."
Xu Wanping looked at the sky: "It's already dark, where else are you going?"
"Go to Wolong Spring to pick up some mountain springs and come back."
Xu Yin came up with this idea after hearing it from a customer: The water quality of mountain springs must be better than tap water. Using it to spray vegetables is like washing.
Anyway, she is very strong, so riding a tricycle and transporting two buckets of spring water back is not stressful for her. By the way, she can also save some riding kilometers and earn some energy points.
Two buckets of spring water a day are not enough for spraying vegetables. You can also use it to boil water for cooking at home. There is no doubt that the taste of spring water is better than that of tap water.
When Xu Wanping heard what she said, she thought that the spray water she used before was really brought by her daughter from Wolong Spring:
"No wonder! There was a little water left in the watering can that day. When I poured it out to wash my hands, it didn't smell like tap water. When did you fill it up? Mom doesn't even know."
Xu Yin: "..."
I haven’t gone yet!
But then it became even more necessary - Ms. Xu discovered the difference between water from a spray bottle and tap water.
"Mom, I'm leaving then!"
"Put on your helmet!"
"knew."
Wolong Spring is in the area where Xu Yin's home is located, and it takes at most fifteen minutes by electric car.
Many nearby residents go to Wolong Spring to fetch water and take it home for cooking. On the one hand, the spring water tastes good, and on the other hand, they save money on tap water.
However, most residents go to collect water in the morning.
At this point in the evening, because the light is relatively dark, there are not many people coming to collect water.
Xu Yin lined up two people and it was their turn.
She filled two five-gallon mineral water buckets and carried them back to the car, one bucket in each hand.
"The little girl is very strong!"
An old man selling melons at a stall in front of Wolongquan praised him sincerely.
"Uncle, how do you sell this melon?"
Xu Yin saw that the melons on his stall did not seem to be wholesale, because they were available in large and small sizes, and several of them were crooked.
"I ordered them all and sold them cheaply. Vegetable melons cost 3 yuan per catty and melons cost 4 yuan per catty."
Xu Yin said: "I want all of them, please weigh them."
"Do you want them all?" The uncle was stunned for a moment, then quickly put a few good-looking melons on the scale, and wiped out zeros when quoting, "I'll charge you 80 in total."
In addition, he also gave her those crooked melons.
"Anyway, I have the final say on how much I grow and how much I sell."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Thank you! Do you still have this melon at home?"
She washed a vegetable melon in the spring water and took a bite immediately. It was crispy and had a good taste. She couldn't help but want to add some new products to Ms. Xu's vegetable stall.
The uncle was surprised and said: "These are enough for you to eat for several days. Do you really want to buy them?"
Xu Yin didn't hide it from him and told the truth that she wanted to sell it at the night market.
The uncle shook his head: "There are many stalls selling melons in the night market. This business is not easy to do."
"It's okay, uncle, just sell it to me. I can eat as much as you want."
If there are too many and it's hard to sell, just stock the system warehouse.
The uncle took Xu Yin to his house.
It turns out that his home is right behind Wolong Spring. This area was still a rural area more than ten years ago. After it was merged into the urban area, the surrounding areas were relocated one after another. Now only a few scattered households are left at the foot of Wolong Spring.
The uncle knew that sooner or later the house would be relocated, and it would be difficult to plant anything in the future, so as long as he lived here, he would plant melons every year, just because his wife liked to eat melons.
But how could the two of them eat all the melons on half an acre of land, so they set up a stall at the entrance of Wolongquan every morning and evening, selling as many as they could to earn some money for food.
Using a flashlight, Xu Yin followed the uncle into the melon field and picked out the obviously ripe melons. In the end, she picked fifteen melons, twenty vegetable melons, and three watermelons.
Xu Yin settled the bill on the spot.
Of course, the pocket money left by the original body was not that much. This did not use a few soft sister coins stored in the system warehouse.
She discovered that traveling through the book world is like a level-breaking game, and the soft girl coins of the same era are as versatile as gold coins.
After carrying all the melons onto the electric tricycle, Xu Yin said to the uncle: "Uncle, please don't go out to set up a stall on such a hot day. From now until the beginning of September, I will come here every night to collect spring water and stop by your house."
Harvest melons.”
"Okay! Okay!" The uncle replied with a cheerful smile.
Without going out, you can sell the melons from the field at the retail price. At most, it will be a zero. How can you not be happy?
Xu Yin is also happy. Being able to buy melons grown by farmers in the city is worth the trouble!
…
Xu Wanping was surprised when her daughter came back with half a cart of melons: "Yin Yin, where did you buy the melons? And where did you get the money?"
Even though there were only three watermelons, the rest were either vegetable melons or melons. But after selling vegetables for seven or eight years, she still had a keen eye. With a quick calculation, she knew that half a cart of melons was worth a lot of money.
Although she usually gave her daughter pocket money, it was only ten or twenty yuan at most, and she didn't give it every day, only once in a while. No matter how frugal she was, she couldn't afford to buy so many melons.
Xu Yin said: "I gave it on credit. I brought it here for a trial sale. If it didn't sell, I took it back and returned it."
