"Oh, Xiao Cao, thank you very much." Wang Shiye didn't feel much about the 560 yuan. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to Cao Shujie for taking the initiative to erase the zero.
Just like when he opened the factory, although the chemical products produced are niche, there are only a few companies on the market that do this. The prices are expensive and the profits are high, which is understandable.
After he started his business and prospered, he had eaten a lot of good things. How could he not appreciate that Cao Shujie's kiwi fruit had a unique taste? In Lao Wang's opinion, it was worth the price.
Cao Shujie smiled "hehe" and said proactively: "Uncle Wang, my apples are not yet ripe. If you come here again next time, I will give you some for your family to try."
"Okay!" Wang Shiye nodded with a smile. He was a little puzzled: "Xiao Cao, I just went over and saw, why are your apples not bagged?"
He said: "I also went to the orchard and saw that many apple growers put plastic bags or paper bags in them."
"The ones grown in bags look good!" Cao Shujie did not comment on its disadvantages, but instead said: "But mine is not bad, and the taste is pretty good."
The meaning behind the words is whether it looks good or not.
But he didn't say it clearly, and Wang Shiye heard it. He believed that many fruits are not as fragrant as before.
While they were talking, Lian Qijian and his four friends came over here carrying two bags of kiwis each.
When he arrived, Lian Qijian pulled his neck and shouted: "Brother Jie, please help me weigh it."
"Are you still picking it?" Cao Shujie asked them.
Several people shook their heads, and one of them, a young man named Tian Zihao, said: "Brother Jie, let's pick these first, and then come back after we finish eating. Anyway, there are still three weeks until school starts in the summer vacation, so we have plenty of time."
"Okay, if you still want to buy it, try to buy it as early as possible. I'm afraid that if you come late, it will be gone." Cao Shujie said.
Don’t tell me whether it can be sold or not, you have to talk about it!
But when Lian Qijian and Wang Shiye heard what Cao Shujie said, they were convinced.
They didn't think Cao Shujie was bragging. On the contrary, they all believed that good things can be sold easily!
Cui Jingguo and his family of four had been watching. Now seeing that Cao Shujie was very busy, Cui Jingguo said directly: "Boss Cao, you are busy first, I will take them in to pick some."
"Boss Cui, I'm sorry for not taking good care of you. Come to my house for lunch." Cao Shujie shouted.
He also said to Cheng Xiaolin: "Honey, get some bags for Brother Cui, call our mother, and cook some more dishes for lunch."
Turning around, he also sent invitations to Wang Shiye, Lian Qijian and the others: "Uncle Wang, brother Qijian, you can also have lunch at my place."
"No, no, we have to go back, next time!" Wang Shiye waved his hand, they came to buy things, and Cao Shujie had already lost dozens of dollars, so why did they have the nerve to go to his house for food again.
Lian Qijian and the others were also embarrassed, after all, they were not very familiar with each other.
It was Lian Qijian who gave him some advice: "Brother Jie, I see you raise a lot of cattle, why don't you raise some sheep, chickens, etc. The environment in your place is so good, if you open a restaurant nearby, you can roast some mutton."
It’s good to make skewers or stir-fries.”
"I see other tourist attractions do this, you should try it too." This guy has a very good mind.
Cao Shujie smiled: "I've just started working on it. All the money I have is invested in it. Later, I will decorate the mountain and make it more beautiful."
He had a comprehensive plan in mind, but he had to eat his food one bite at a time and do everything one by one.
When Wang Shiye heard what he said, his smiling eyes narrowed: "Xiao Cao, if it really gets to the extent you said, I will bring someone to play next time."
Cao Shujie didn't know what politeness meant. He pointed to the large field of fruit saplings in the east and said, "Uncle Wang, look at the kiwi and apple saplings over there in more than 50 acres. There are green ones, yellow ones, and red ones.
There are also kiwi fruits, which provide sufficient nutrition from the beginning, and the taste is guaranteed to be more delicious than the ones here."
"Oh, I'm so greedy for what you said." Wang Shiye was indeed aroused, and he asked: "How long will it take to bear fruit?"
"It will take at least two years, and it will take three years to achieve large-scale results," Cao Shujie said.
But he was not in a hurry, and pointed to the open space in the north and said: "I plan to plant improved watermelons, strawberries and other seasonal crops there. If you like to eat them, you can eat them next year."
"Good guy, Xiao Cao, you are so ambitious!" Wang Shiye admired Cao Shujie very much this time.
The planning is clear, with both long-term development considerations and short-term plans in mind. This is the same as running a business.
He asked with great interest: "Xiao Cao, what did you do before, just plant orchards?"
"No, I used to do research at an agricultural science company in Beijing, and I also worked in a management position." Cao Shujie said casually, without giving a detailed introduction.
"You don't think this place is big, but it is very exquisite. You invested a lot of money, right?" Wang Shiye has a sharp eye, and he can see some things.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I almost invested a number in the early stage. If you want to do well, you have to invest. If the money in my pocket is not empty, I will have to invest in it later."
"Haha, you are good!" Wang Shiye asked him: "Do you want to invest? Can I invest some?"
Cao Shujie looked at Wang Shiye seriously and found that the kind-faced old man had a serious expression on his face and his eyes were calm, and he did not seem to be joking.
But he still shook his head and said: "Uncle Wang, I am very grateful for your support!"
"But I just got a two million loan some time ago, and the bank told me that it will be approved soon. If I'm still short of money in the future, I won't be polite to you, Uncle Wang."
This was a disguised rejection. Wang Shiye was not angry. He said: "Haha, do your best, I'm optimistic about you."
Lian Qijian and the other five did not rush. Seeing Wang Shiye trying to lift the kiwis to load into the truck, Lian Qijian even helped him carry them: "Uncle, let me help you."
"Thank you, young man!"
"It's okay, uncle, you are too polite." Lian Qijian said with a smile.
"I see your license plate is from our county. Where do you live?" Wang Shiye asked casually.
Lian Qijian said: "Uncle, I am a famous official in the county. Where are you?"
"Happy Garden!" Wang Shiye said.
"Oh, your place is a great place!" Lian Qijian yearned for it in his heart. He said, "The house in Xiyuan is large enough, but the space of the house in our community is a bit cramped."
They, one old and the other young, even chatted.
Cao Shujie was weighing fruits for Lian Qijian and the others there, and Cheng Xiaolin was holding a notebook nearby to write them down.
Lian Qijian and the other five all picked more than 20 kilograms. Cao Shujie removed the two kilograms as a gift as promised before, and the rest weighed 113 kilograms in total. According to the picking price of 28, they collected a total of 20 kilograms.
3164 yuan.
Cheng Xiaolin was busy just now and didn't notice how much Wang Shiye's share was. Now that she was collecting money from Lian Qijian and the others, she realized that their kiwis were sold so expensively.
"Then what we ate was not wasted?" This thought came to Cheng Xiaolin's head.
Then I thought: "Mengmeng also knows how to leave uneaten food for her father. She is such a good child!"
She was busy collecting money when someone shouted at the door: "Is this Boss Cao Shujie's orchard?"
"I am Cao Shujie, please come in." Cao Shujie went over to greet people again.
The three people who came this time were a family of three. Seeing Lian Qijian and the others weighing the scales, they thought they had found a place.
"Boss Cao, I got your free kiwi fruit at Youth Square that day." The visitor introduced himself.
Cao Shujie was overjoyed that the 7 boxes of more than 30 kilograms of kiwi fruits were finally not given away for free. At least two customers came to the door.
All this money was earned back.
Later, when they went back to eat it, it tasted really good, and they passed it on by word of mouth...
The visitor also said: "Boss Cao, your place is easy for me to find. Fortunately, you mentioned Caojiazhuang, Qingshi Town, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to find it."
Cao Shujie laughed and apologized repeatedly. He said: "I was in a hurry and didn't have time to print the business card..."
After saying a few words, the family of three named Zheng took two bags and went into the orchard.
Being in the orchard, Zheng Huapeng smelled a stronger fruity fragrance. He said to his wife She Wencui: "Wencui, smell how fragrant this fruit is. I didn't lie to you!"
"Just the tip of your nose, pick it quickly!" She Wencui gave her husband a look and took her daughter Zheng Mengfeng to pick kiwi fruits.
Holding the kiwi fruit on the vine and pulling it off hard, She Wencui still felt a little regretful: "This fruit is still hard and cannot be eaten. If it were ripe, it would be nice to have a meal."
"You can't think like that. If you have a good meal, don't be afraid of being late. If you go back and eat it slowly, it will be more delicious." Zheng Huapeng said, shaking his head.
There were too many kiwi fruits around, and the fruits were all well-proportioned, about the same size, and the surface of the fruits was very clean. Zheng Huapeng couldn't help but sigh: "I said the taste is so special. It seems that they have been carefully cultivated."
.”
"It makes no sense to just wait for pie to fall from the sky without putting any effort into it," She Wencui said.
The movements of her hands were not slow, and she grabbed a dozen more in a moment.
After Wang Shiye and others loaded the kiwis into the truck, his wife Gan Jiaqing saw how good the environment here was and said to him: "Old man, ask Boss Xiao Cao if we can go somewhere else."
When Cao Shujie heard Wang Shiye's inquiry, he agreed wholeheartedly. This was nothing!
Lian Qijian and the others usually play in the county town and rarely come into contact with such an environment, so they feel particularly fresh here.
In addition, the fruit saplings here have begun to grow wildly, and there are vibrant scenes everywhere. One glance at it makes people feel very comfortable.
"Let's go and have a look." Lian Qijian and the others put the kiwis in the trunk of the car, paid and went to play.
This piece of land totals more than 80 acres, which is enough for them to see.
But as Cao Shujie said, it's still not enough. There are many things around that need to be added.
After this busy period, after Cao Shujie got the second loan from the bank, he was ready to hurry up and fill in the details.
He is not afraid of spending money, as long as it can achieve the results he expected.
People asked one after another, "Where is Cao Shujie's orchard?" This matter quickly spread in Caojiazhuang.
Several people privately said that many people bought kiwis from Cao Shujie, and some were curious about how much money he would have to sell for a pound of kiwis to recoup his investment.
But some people are confused. The kiwi fruit in their orchard is still as big as a free-range egg. Why does Cao Shujie's grow so fast?
In the orchard on the mountain, Cao Shujie and his wife were still busy.
He took the time to call his mother and asked her to prepare more dishes, saying that friends would be at home for dinner later.
"Boss Cao, you really don't need it. You can just be busy. Let's go first." After Wang Shiye and the others came back from walking around, they felt indescribably tired all over their bodies, but they were in great spirits. They felt like they were full of energy after taking a breath of air.
Comfortable.
Hearing that Cao Shujie wanted to stay with them for dinner again, Wang Shiye quickly got in the car and left after refusing.
Lian Qijian and the others did not stay after they came back.
As for Zheng Huapeng and the others, they were indeed unfamiliar, but Cao Shujie also gave them a discount. After erasing the fraction of one pound and two taels, there was still 23 pounds left.
She Wencui was very happy and felt that Boss Cao was good at doing business.
Cao Shujie also thought about putting them in cartons, but Zheng Huapeng refused: "Boss Cao, we are buying them back to eat ourselves, so there is no need to go to so much trouble."
After Zheng Huapeng and his family of three came over, two more groups of people came after them. After discounts were removed, they bought a total of 38 kilograms of kiwi fruits.
A group of people saw that there were still apples and wanted to buy some, but Cao Shujie told him that the apples were not ripe yet and the taste was not good.
With this start, Cao Shujie is very happy. He is not greedy for more. He knows that there will be people coming later, and he only needs to plant good fruits.
Cui Jingguo and his family of four picked a total of 43.6 kilograms, and Cao Shujie directly took the initiative and wiped out the fraction of 3.6 kilograms.
"Why did Boss Cui buy so much?" Cao Shujie wondered.
After weighing the items, he and his wife helped pack them.
Cui Jingguo said: "Boss Cao, your kiwi fruit is really delicious. I will buy more and take some of it back to give away."
Hearing what Cui Jingguo said, Cao Shujie felt even happier.
As a result, he has one more potential customer.
Seeing that it was noon, Cao Shujie did not let Cui Jingguo leave and directly took the whole family to his house for dinner.
At the foot of the mountain, Cao Shujie also called his friend Cao Tiemin and several decoration workers.
After a busy morning, I sold a total of 234 kilograms and earned 6,552 yuan.
Such a considerable income made Cheng Xiaolin see a different future. She felt that she would make a lot of money after returning from the capital.
At home, Wang Yuelan started preparing lunch after receiving a call from her daughter-in-law.
Thinking about what his son said on the phone just now that the kiwi fruit in the orchard was selling well, Wang Yuelan relaxed.
I am afraid that my son will be busy and have nothing to gain.
Although she still doesn't know exactly how many kilograms of kiwis she sold and how much she earned, she feels that as long as she has this beginning, the rest will be a matter of time.
