"Oh, our Qiao Qiao is really good at talking! But your brother Yan Ping's name is useless. He tricked this girl and found out that he is lazy and lazy. What should we do?"
Zhang Yanping held the watermelon in her hands and just wanted to sigh.
What should I say? He couldn't pass this test today.
Fortunately, Watermelon rescued him in the end——
As soon as grandma ate the watermelon, she couldn't help but eat several more mouthfuls: "Tan Tan, this watermelon you grew is still delicious. I couldn't help but eat too much of the ones I gave you last time."
"The same goes for your grandpa. If you don't let him eat more, he won't let go. Then he bought a few more, but they don't taste like this."
Song Tan laughed loudly: "This is a new variety, cultivated with special nutrient solution. Grandma, you have to live in my house and eat it whenever you want."
"I know," grandma can now watch some short videos: "Nowadays it's all high-tech, what new varieties. I was playing Douyin that day, and some were cultivating egg fruits on the trees - I took a look, and it was a pound.
It costs eighty or ninety yuan!”
Song Tan: ...Grandma, what you are talking about is a liar, and it is not the same thing as us.
But how to justify it?
She was also speechless.
…
After all, grandma was old, so Song Tan didn't dare to ask them to eat more of the melons. Each of them ate two pieces, and the remaining plastic wrap was stuffed back into the refrigerator.
Only then did grandma react:
"What about the rest?"
Qiao Qiao thought for a while: "Mom went to the field to pick vegetables and said she wanted to make a good meal at noon. My seventh cousin went to the back mountain and said he wanted to pick a tender pumpkin and come back to stir-fry at noon..."
"Dad and grandpa are cutting grass to dry and dry, and they haven't come back yet. Grandma went to pick tea in the morning and is helping now... and Brother Wu Lei, he is helping to pick watermelons in the mountains. Now he needs many watermelons every day!"
Qiao Qiao finished speaking in one breath, and then she was surprised to find: "Wow! We have so many family members!"
Such a hot day...
Grandma couldn't help but look up at the sun outside, and Song Tan quickly reassured her: "It's okay, Brother Wu Lei is wearing a hat, and there are many places in my peach forest that are shaded, so there is not so much sunlight."
In fact, it's hot today, so no one is working anymore.
It's just that Wu Lei thought too much and was afraid that he would have new work arrangements when he came back, so he simply stayed in the mountain without moving.
However, after all, he was the eldest grandson who grew up with his son in front of him, so grandma still felt a little distressed. She knew that Wu Lei was out of control, so he sent it here specially so she didn't want to ask more questions, so she had to change the topic:
"Tan Tan, how do you sell these melons? Do you want to sell so many melons in one day?"
"You take it to the market yourself and sell it?"
"No." Song Tan explained with a smile.
Originally, she took the orders from her mobile phone to sell them in the city. However, the weather was hot and it was hard to move and carry them, so this job was directly given to the vegetable vendor Lao Zhao.
But this time I won’t give you any money. I will give you three big watermelons for one shipment, whether they sell them or eat them yourself.
Three large watermelons can be sold for more than a thousand yuan, and the commission is really high!
But for Song Tan - don’t have too many watermelons at home!
At this point, Lao Zhao was not very happy when he was nourished by today's happy life at first!
It wasn't until he heard about the watermelon that he reluctantly agreed - if he didn't do this job, he would have spent hundreds of dollars every day buying watermelon!
Now, if you take on this sales agency job, you just need to drive the car one more time. When the goods arrive, you don’t have to unload the car. You can just deliver the goods right where you are.
He could sell two of the three large watermelons and cut a few pieces into the remaining one. His parents and father-in-law would not be left behind, and everyone would be happy.
The beads in Lao Zhao's abacus were crackling, but he had no intention of becoming bigger and stronger.
In fact, if you were to find someone to wholesale watermelons, someone would buy them for 20 yuan a pound, and Song Tan wouldn't even need to give out a few extra watermelons, so it's not impossible to increase the price.
After all, the quality of these watermelons has great potential in the high-end market.
However, the family’s trademarks and other items are not yet complete, and the brand is not ready to start now.
Although you may get more money by wholesale to others, there is no guarantee that others will be unfavorable and greedy. Whether it is a sky-high price or a substandard product, it will easily ruin your reputation.
I chose Lao Zhao because he is now enjoying the benefits of being lazy and will not do anything that is shoddy.
Now Lao Zhao comes to pull vegetables in the morning and watermelons in the afternoon of the next day. He has work to do every day and his schedule is full!
Grandma listened in a daze, only knowing that her eldest grandson was now responsible for helping people load watermelons into the truck...
Tantan said that she could only make a few hundred melons a day, and she thought that it was not hard work, so just do it.
But there was another thing that aroused her curiosity.
"Qiaoqiao, what did you just say about mowing the grass?"
Grandma was curious: "Are you going to pull grass in the garden on this hot day?"
"No." Qiao Qiao shook her head: "There is a field in my sister's new land that is full of rushes. Grandpa said that you can make money by asking someone to cut the grass back and make it into mats."
Ah yo.
Grandma and grandpa were also extremely envious:
"Your grandpa is very energetic. I guess this can be sold for a lot of money, right?"
Song Tan smiled and said, "I can definitely make some money."
"But grandma, you and grandpa don't be impatient. Later, grandpa said to bring two bundles of straw over. You can also make yourself a straw mat at home."
"If you still have the time, you can help him weave straw mats. If he hires someone to weave straw mats, he will be paid for every weaving bed!"
"What salary do you want?"
Grandpa shook his head: "It's all a matter of helping me, and it's effortless."
"That won't work."
Song Tan quickly shook his head. The task of weaving straw mats was very detailed. He could only weave one bed in a day, so it was not that easy.
But for grandpa, this is the best job, and it doesn’t cost money.
not to mention……
"It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 kilograms of grass, and there is a lot of it even after it has been dried. If you want money, grandpa will be too embarrassed to pay wages to others."
She whispered: "You guys go ahead and do it first. If the sales are good, I will expand the scale next year. Then grandpa will be able to make money at home. How great!"
Ouch! Can it really be sold?
Grandma and grandpa were both happy.
Just...the old couple has lived in the countryside all their lives and saved their savings through their teeth. Now the total pension money is only tens of thousands of yuan.
But nowadays, it costs a lot of money to go to the hospital when you are sick. It is not unheard of in the village that some families have disputes over nursing homes...
Money is a person's courage.
If they can earn and save money, but they can no longer work in the future, are they still afraid of causing trouble to their children?
No need!
Besides, people who work at home every day would feel uncomfortable if they came here and did nothing, but they would feel comfortable if they had some work on their hands.
