Chapter 99 House decoration, the orchard ushered in the first wave of guests
Mengmeng is very discerning. When she saw that grandma had finished eating the kiwi fruit, she grabbed a peeled kiwi fruit from the basin with her other hand and handed it to grandma Wang Yuelan: "Grandma, you can eat it too."
"Hey, Mengmeng, stop working so hard and eat quickly. If grandma won't eat, I'll leave it to you." Wang Yuelan was happy in her heart and advised her.
But Mengmeng disagreed. She had to give it to her grandma and watch her put it in her mouth and eat it before she gave up.
She grabbed the kiwi fruit in her hand and continued to nibble off a large piece. When she saw that there was only a little bit left, she did not throw it away. Then she turned to her father, Cao Shujie, and handed it to her: "Dad, you eat it!"
"..." Cao Shujie never expected that his daughter would still remember his 'special hobby'.
This story starts with my daughter eating strawberries.
When those things are sold out of season, they are really not cheap. Cao Shujie used to buy some food for his daughter, but they were reluctant to eat it.
Later, she discovered that her daughter only ate the red part of the strawberry and threw away the remaining white part. Cheng Xiaolin disliked her daughter's waste and joked: "Mengmeng, give the rest to your father."
Just like that, Mengmeng kept this in mind and never forgot anything she said. Later when eating strawberries, she ate the top red part in two or three bites and left the white part at the bottom for Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie never expected that just strawberries would be enough, but Mengmeng would even save kiwi fruit for him.
Cao Shujie didn't want to take it, but seeing that his daughter was very persistent and insisted on him taking it and eating it, he was speechless. He looked at his daughter seriously and said with a smile: "Mengmeng, you are so filial!"
"Hehe!" Mengmeng received the compliment and smiled proudly. She would leave even more confidence for Cao Shujie in the future.
This scene made Cheng Xiaolin, who was eating kiwi fruit next to her, burst into laughter. Even Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo were confused!
After hearing the daughter-in-law explain the reason, they immediately understood what was going on. Cao Jianguo also said: "Mengmeng, give those to grandpa, grandpa likes to eat."
But Mengmeng shook her head and refused, and said loudly: "No, give it to daddy, daddy likes to eat."
Cheng Xiaolin had no choice but to 'praise' her: "Mengmeng, you are such a good girl!"
"I am!" Mengmeng shouted.
In the evening, Cao Shujie received a call from his sister Cao Huifang. His sister said one thing on the phone: "Brother, your improved kiwi fruit is so delicious. My colleagues are all rushing to eat it."
"Fangfang, don't do this, just say what's the matter." Cao Shujie asked his sister.
The brother and sister grew up together, and he knew from an early age that when his sister said nice things, she was definitely not holding back good things.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard his sister Cao Huifang say: "Brother, if you have time, send me another 20 pounds. I will take it to the school to give it to my classmates and teachers to try."
"Good guy, you're pretty good at taking my stuff as a favor!" Cao Shujie complained about her, which made Cao Huifang unhappy. However, Cao Shujie couldn't stand the entanglement and agreed to send it to his sister.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the post office early tomorrow morning to send kiwi fruits to my grandfather, and I will also send some to you by the way." Cao Shujie finally said.
When she heard her brother agreed, Cao Huifang was particularly happy: "Brother, you are the best!"
"Fangfang, please pull it off, I'm still busy, that's it." Cao Shujie hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and continued to eat the remaining kiwi fruit bottoms of his good daughter.
After eating, Cao Jianguo said: "Shujie, you think someone should buy such a delicious fruit, right?"
"Dad, don't worry about it sooner or later!" Cao Shujie said: "If no one buys it, I will continue to deliver it. If Pingyuan County doesn't work, I will go to Yiling City to have a look. If it doesn't work, I will go there.
Going around the provincial capital..."
"Why don't you spread your wings and fly to the sky!" Wang Yuelan said to him.
Cao Shujie didn't say anything back. You're a mother, so whatever you said, I pretended I didn't hear it.
…
After Cao Shujie and his family finished eating the kiwi fruit, they returned to their bedroom. Mengmeng, perhaps because she had eaten a little too much just now, was lying on the bed, too lazy to move.
"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Cao Shujie was a little worried when he saw that she was not energetic.
Mengmeng groaned and couldn't say anything, Cheng Xiaolin said: "Husband, don't worry, she is full. I will rub her belly later and let her breathe."
Having said this, Cheng Xiaolin continued: "Go and do your work first, don't you still want to buy Bitcoin?"
"Okay, I'll go outside to operate." Cao Shujie took his notebook and went to the small room outside.
Turning on the computer and logging into the BTC China trading platform, Cao Shujie first glanced at his account information.
In the past four days, Cao Shujie has been operating. He grabbed a total of 2878 pieces and spent a total of 9 yuan.
This price is really not high. If there is no deviation in the course of history, if he casually takes out one and sells it ten years later, he will not only recover all the capital, but also have a surplus.
All the rest is profit!
"Tsk, tsk!" Cao Shujie felt inexplicably secretly happy. This behavior of doing things behind the scenes made him feel transcendent, like he was God.
I don’t know what happened today, but the transaction price jumped straight up from an average of about 28 yuan a piece to 6 yuan, which cost a lot more than before.
Today's sharp price increase of more than 24% has also made the silent market start to boil again. Many people feel that this wave of BTC's decline will soon hit the bottom, and it is likely to start to reverse and continue to rise.
rise.
But some people say that this is called a decline relay, which involves a group of new people and then makes another sharp decline.
But for a BTC warrior like Cao Shujie who has "belief", he doesn't care and is still happy to grab orders.
Every time he got an order, he would be happy for a while, and he would also yell about how much money he could make with 200,000 yuan, and how much money he could make with 300,000 yuan.
But there were too many people grabbing orders. After grabbing 461 coins, he decisively gave up and continued to grab orders. He saw that the number of coins in his account had increased to 3,339, and the 500,000 RMB he had last recharged still had 400,000 RMB left.
It's a long way to go to spend all this money, so go to sleep.
After closing the computer, Cao Shujie went back to the bedroom, hugged his wife, and had a good night's sleep.
…
August 2nd, the third day of the seventh lunar month!
At around 5 o'clock in the morning, the biological clock woke Cao Shujie up again.
His wife was lying in his arms. He wanted to sleep for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He simply got up and packed the kiwis sent to his sister and grandfather, wrote the address on a piece of paper, and then left home with his four energetic dogs who had also just woken up and went for a walk in the mountains.
It gradually became Cao Shujie's habit to take them on patrol in the mountains at this time every day. He would say hello to the people passing by. Many people smiled and asked him: "Do you want to work today? If so, just call them."
"
However, seeing Daha and Erha looking at each other eagerly, no one dared to chat with him.
Arriving at the mountain, Cao Shujie's cell phone rang first before he could go up the mountain.
When he saw that the call was from Cao Tiemin, he figured that it probably had something to do with the decoration.
After the call was connected, I heard the call from the other side: "Shujie, I will bring people and materials over today to decorate it for you. Is it okay?"
Cao Shujie said directly: "Just come, I'll wait for you."
"Well, I'll call you when I get to Caojiazhuang." After Cao Tiemin hung up the phone, he asked someone to drive towards Caojiazhuang with decoration materials and people.
Cao Shujie and his four dogs had not finished patrolling the orchard on the mountain when Cao Tiemin called him again. After Cao Shujie answered the phone, Cao Tiemin shouted directly: "I'm here at your new house, come here."
"Wait a moment, I'm walking the dog on the mountain, why don't you come up and pick some apples to eat." Cao Shujie looked at Daha and Erha, who were still very energetic, and couldn't get down for a while.
After hearing what he said, Cao Tiemin immediately followed the road up the mountain and came to the orchard.
When he met Cao Shujie, he was wearing gray shorts and short sleeves, a pair of brown sandals, and was holding four dogs in circles. He was also convinced!
"Shujie, are you just doing this job every day?" Cao Tiemin felt the urge to run over and kick him.
Crazy with jealousy!
But who knew that as soon as the "dangerous thought" came out, the big wolf-like dog's head turned around, and its blue eyes stared at Cao Tiemin unblinkingly. The dog's face no longer had the usual careless look, and Cao Tiemin started to look at it.
The dog felt danger in its eyes.
"Oh woo!"
Daha howled at Cao Tiemin, which frightened Cao Tiemin so much that he stood there and did not dare to move.
"Damn it, is this dog so evil?" Cao Tiemin felt that he was frightened by the eyes of a dog. It was so embarrassing that he couldn't help but complain.
Cao Shujie looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You kid is not honest in your heart. You must be scolding me, and Daha can tell it right away."
"Get out!" Cao Tiemin couldn't admit that he just wanted to kick Cao Shujie, and then specifically said: "Hold the dog leash."
"It's okay, Daha doesn't bite." Cao Shujie said.
Seeing that Cao Tiemin didn't believe it, Cao Shujie said directly: "Daha, sit down and don't move!"
Daha cooperated very well, sitting on the ground with his butt sticking out, staring at Cao Tiemin, his tongue lolling, motionless.
"Shujie, why do you have so many dogs? Why don't you give me two to help you share the burden?" Although Cao Tiemin was scared, he really liked this dog when he saw it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the four dogs immediately started shouting "oh, oh" and "oh woo". The barks of various dogs kept coming, making Cao Tiemin feel like he was poking a hornet's nest.
He didn't dare to talk any more, for fear that if he said too much, he would be bitten by a dog and it wouldn't be worth it.
It took about twenty minutes for the two of them to come down the mountain together.
When passing by the old orchard, he saw kiwi fruits larger than goose eggs and red apples the size of an adult's fist hanging on the vines. He asked: "Shujie, this is the kind of kiwi you gave me."
"Yes, they are all there. Let's go in and take a look?" Cao Shujie said, "It's very exciting to look at it from the inside."
"Forget it for today, let's settle the decoration first. I won't be able to finish it for a while, so I have plenty of time to come and take a look."
As he was going down the mountain, smelling the fruity aroma wafting in the wind, he still had some doubts in his heart: "I remember it's not the time for kiwi fruits to mature yet. Why are you so early-maturing? Have you taken medicine? Or are you taking hormones?"
"Get out of here, believe it or not, I'm going to let the dog bite you." Cao Shujie stared at him, letting go of the rope at any time.
Taking advantage of the crowd's strength, Daha and Erha also barked several times to demonstrate.
Cao Tiemin was so frightened that he wanted to run away.
When they came to the foot of the mountain and walked towards the house, Cao Tiemin asked: "Shujie, the kiwis here are ripe, why don't you contact the fruit seller to sell them?"
"If it's hung on a tree for a long time, won't it rot?"
Cao Shujie smiled slightly and said, "It's not time yet, so why worry."
After hearing what he said, Cao Tiemin said no more.
When they arrived at the two-story building, the two of them went in together. Cao Tiemin also put his hands on the wall to see if it was completely dry. After a while, he smiled and said: "Not bad, we're almost done.
Let’s start doing it today.”
"Okay, you can mess around. If you need anything, call me. I'll pay you the last dollar," Cao Shujie said.
Cao Tiemin made an 'OK' gesture with his hand, and asked someone to drive the van from the gate to the yard, unload all the decoration tools and some materials, and at the same time began to contact the floor tiles, cement, sand, etc. that had been ordered in advance.
Suppliers, ask them to deliver the goods to Caojiazhuang, Qingshi Town as soon as possible.
…
On the other side, Lian Qijian and four friends who played in the same community also drove from Pingyuan County to Caojiazhuang, Qingshi Town.
Lian Qijian's aunt's house is right here. He doesn't even need to navigate, he can come there with his eyes closed.
But when he arrived at the entrance of Caojiazhuang Village, he was a little confused and didn't know where 'Brother Jie's' orchard was.
Stopping the car on the side of the road, Lian Qijian called his cousin Cao Zhen and got Cao Shujie's phone number from him.
After sending a text message with Cao Shujie's cell phone number to his cousin, Cao Zhen remembered that he hadn't called Cao Shujie yet and asked him to take care of his cousin.
When he reacted and was about to call Cao Shujie, the system prompted him that the line was busy.
"Qijian made the phone call quite quickly." Cao Zhen muttered.
In this case, he didn't care too much. Anyway, Cao Shujie knew his cousin.
…
Cao Shujie, who was watching Cao Tiemin decorate, did not expect that on the fifth day after he sent out the kiwis, he would receive the first wave of customers, and this wave of customers were actually acquaintances.
But having said that, the first wave of gifts he sent were all acquaintances, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Cao Shujie attached great importance to the arrival of Lian Qijian and others, and wanted to give them a discount later.
After explaining the address to Lian Qijian, Cao Shujie soon heard the sound of a car horn outside.
"Ironborn, I'm going out for a moment."
"Go and do your work, don't worry while I work." Cao Tiemin said.
When Cao Shujie came out of his home, he saw a Volkswagen Passat stopped nearby.
Judging from the style, it is still a new product that was just launched this year.
He thought to himself: "You are quite wealthy!"
When the car arrived, Lian Qijian got out of the car and shouted: "Hello, Brother Jie."
Besides him, there were four young people of the same age in the car.
Cao Shujie had met him once. They were both young people and not that unfamiliar: "Qijian, why are you here?"
"Brother Jie, that kiwi fruit of yours is so delicious. I have nothing to do at home and wanted to come over and pick some to take back." Lian Qijian was very happy.
