Chapter 915: The selfish and vain female supporting character who chews her old age (12)
When Chen Xuan had nothing to do, he brought his teammates from the basketball team to the barbecue stall to help.
The big boys are all tall and tall, and some of them are very handsome. They stand next to the barbecue stall and become a living sign. It used to be called the "beautiful barbecue stall", but now it is jokingly called the "handsome guy barbecue stall".
The Liu family father and son, who only dare to secretly poke and attack women, do not dare to cause trouble no matter how much they covet her.
In the end, they left the night market and set up stalls elsewhere in disgrace. Starting a business from scratch was enough for them to be miserable for a while.
In that room, after Xu Yin successfully handed over the rent, the rent was about to expire. She told the landlord half a month ago that she would not renew the lease, so when it expired, the landlord came over to check the decoration and appliances in the house to make sure they were not damaged.
After collecting the keys, Xu Yin carried two suitcases and a backpack and embarked on the journey back home.
Chen Jiao drove an off-road vehicle with a relatively large trunk to take her to the high-speed rail station.
"Actually, I can just take a taxi, why bother you to make a trip."
"Oh, it won't take much time, not to mention I'm happy with it."
Chen Jiao came down to help her put the suitcase together, then returned to the car and started the car.
"My brother said that the barbecue stall business has been booming recently. The barbecue stall at Dongxiangkou has been evacuated, and we are the only one in the whole night market. I am thinking about striking while the iron is hot and renting a storefront to open a full-day barbecue restaurant.
But I also know that the area near the university is only lively at night, and if a full-day barbecue restaurant is opened, the business may not be as good as it is now, so we should wait a little longer..." Reading
Xu Yin smiled and listened to her talk about the business experience.
When she arrived at the high-speed rail station, Chen Jiao took her to the ticket checking hall.
At this time, she took out a thick red envelope and stuffed it into Xu Yin's backpack, and also gave her two boxes of Anshi's famous specialties: "You helped me a lot by selling my formula, and I didn't even have time to thank you properly.
Please accept this small kindness. Although our cooperation is in a hurry, I recognize you as a friend. If you have anything, just ask, and I will definitely help you if you can."
After saying that, she waved her hand and exited the ticket checking hall.
The person behind Xu Yin urged her: "Hurry up! There is no one in front."
Xu Yin had no choice but to accept Chen Jiao's intention with a smile.
However, she has confidence in her recipe and believes that the Chen family's bakery business will get better and better.
…
Xiangcheng is a small town in the middle of the country, surrounded by mountains.
Due to traffic congestion, development here has been relatively slow, and it can be said to be one of the last batch of towns in the country to be lifted out of poverty.
The way to get rid of poverty is also very simple-growing fruits and selling fruits.
With the promotion of the local government, every household either contracted an orchard or a fruit forest, or planted fruit trees in the private land in front of and behind the house. In addition to going out to work, the only way to make a living was by selling fruits.
The cherry orchard contracted by Xu Yin's family is quite large, with a total of five acres.
When the village collective's orchard was disbanded and turned to the villagers themselves, other fruit orchards were quickly divided up, but no one wanted the cherry orchard.
It is said that big cherries with large size and good flavor are popular in the market outside, but there is no market for small cherries.
Read a book
In the end, it was Xu Yin's grandfather who made the decision and let the eldest couple take over the contracting rights of the cherry orchard for 70 years, thinking that no matter what, the family would finally have a living.
But the fact is exactly as the villagers guessed - small cherries are not easy to sell.
It is troublesome to pick, difficult to transport and store, and the purchasers who come to your door are very picky, so the purchase price is very low every year.
Grandpa Xu felt that he had made a mistake in his decision-making and had harmed his elder brother's family. He became depressed and fell ill. His younger son took him to the city to recuperate. He has not returned in the past few years for fear of hurting his feelings.
Xu's father and mother Xu devoted themselves to the cherry orchard, doing everything themselves and saving whatever they could. However, they never expected that their daughter would spend all the money they saved.
"Mingkang, are your cherries almost ripe? Have the purchasers come to see them? How much are they offering this year?"
In the evening of early summer, Xu Mingkang finished his day's work, closed the gate of the cherry orchard, and was about to go home for dinner, when he was stopped by the village chief.
"Uncle Village Chief." He scratched his hair and looked a little depressed, "It will be picked in a few days. When the purchaser went to Dawei's house two days ago, he also came to my house to have a look. However, the little cherries will be picked this year.
The price has dropped again. Last year, it was still 9 yuan per pound. This year, even if it is 7 yuan, you may not be able to beat it."
However, fertilizer costs are rising every year, so this year's income is far worse than last year.
But what can be done? His family lives on these five acres of cherry orchard.
It's not easy for Yinyin to work hard in a big city. Hearing her cry on the phone several times made him and the child's mother feel as if their hearts were being chopped out of flesh. They originally thought about waiting for the cherries to be sold and giving the child a sum of money.
Let her not be so stressed, but now...
Xu Mingkang shook his head: "Let's look at it again. If it doesn't work, I will pick it out and sell it."
Small cherries are fresh on the market, and the retail price in the city can be 15 yuan per pound, which is more than twice the purchase price.
Xu Mingkang naturally knew that it would be more profitable to pick out and sell them, but it was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Unlike other families, his family has many children and is willing to spend money to hire laborers.
There are only three people in his family. After his daughter graduated, he stayed in the big city to work. In order to save more money, the couple worked on the cherry orchard by themselves, all year round. If he went to the city to pick cherries and sell them,
All the work in the garden must fall on his daughter-in-law alone, and she can't bear it. But hiring people will cost a lot of money a day. The profit is not high to begin with, and it will be even less profitable if you hire people again.
Moreover, the skin of small cherries is more tender than that of large cherries, so they are easily bruised by a few bumps, and can easily rot when the temperature is high.
The purchaser comes in a transport truck, which is air-conditioned and covered with shock-absorbing protective padding, which can reduce the loss of cherries.
But when he wanted to go to the city to sell, he had to take a bus carrying a basket. The bus was bumpy and there was no air conditioning on the bus. He was suffocated all the way, bruised and badly bruised.
After trying several times in the past few years, I found that I couldn't make much more money than selling it to a buyer, and it was very tiring. So I simply didn't think about picking it out and selling it.
But if the purchase price this year is really that low, he wants to try his luck in the city.
"My fifth child is also saying that if the purchase price is so low this year, why don't we just go to the city and sell them ourselves."
Xu Laowu is the youngest son of the village chief. His family also grows cherries, but they are big cherries. But the price of big cherries is said to have dropped this year. A new variety has come out in the south. I heard it is grafted with cherries. It tastes great.
Better than regular big cherries.
No, yesterday the purchaser came to quote, the highest price was 16 yuan per pound.
This price is a bit difficult for them to accept.
Last year, selling for 20 per catty was considered too low, but this year it actually fell below 20.
The village chief took a puff of cigarette, sighed and continued: "It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. You have to take the bus three times. It's bumpy and bumpy. I'm afraid there aren't many intact ones in the city. This
We are not looking for someone to discuss, and we plan to rent an air-conditioned van together and take them to the city to sell. Mingkang, since you also want to pick out and sell, do you want to go with Lao Wu and the others? "
