On the way home from the mountain, Cao Shujie rode an electric tricycle and led the way with his wife. Cui Jingguo followed behind with a family of three. The last van was driven by Cao Tiemin and his friends.
Cheng Xiaolin also asked her husband: "Shujie, do you think anyone else will come this afternoon?"
"Probably not." Cao Shujie said after thinking for a moment.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't understand and asked him: "Why?"
"Honey, are you confused? Today is Tuesday. How many people do you think have the time to come all the way to pick kiwis here at this time?" Cao Shujie asked back.
One sentence goes straight to the core.
"Honey, look at these customers who came here this morning. Uncle Wang can see that they are rich people who have nothing to do after they retire."
"Lian Qijian and the others are all college students on summer vacation, or children from wealthy families, right?"
"There's also Mr. Zheng, the clothes his family wears are pretty good, and Boss Cui, he has such a big livestock farm, and his family has a solid foundation!"
After thinking about it this way, everything became clear, and Cheng Xiaolin no longer struggled with this matter.
After Wang Yuelan received a call from his daughter-in-law, she first called the hotel in the town to book a set meal.
The hotel was also very fast and delivered the set meal before her son and the others came back.
It's not that she doesn't want to do it, her daughter-in-law is not at home, and her granddaughter Mengmeng keeps pestering her. Wherever Wang Yuelan goes, her granddaughter Mengmeng follows her, and she can't work at all.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law coming in on an electric bike, Wang Yuelan originally wanted to ask them how their sales were this morning, but then she heard her son say: "Mom, they are all here, I will pick them up first."
Not long after, Cui Jingguo and his family of four came in together with Cao Tiemin and others, and had lunch at Cao Shujie's place.
Cui Jingguo will drive back with his wife and children this afternoon, and Cao Tiemin and the others will continue to work in the afternoon, so they won't drink at noon.
But a dozen people gathered together, chatting and laughing, and they were quite happy.
After they left, Wang Yulan had time to ask her son how the kiwi fruit sold this morning.
"Not bad, a total of more than 230 kilograms were sold this morning." Cao Shujie told his mother.
"That's it." Wang Yuelan was a little regretful, the amount was far lower than she expected.
The next moment, Wang Yuelan asked: "How much did they charge?"
"How much did it cost?" Cao Shujie didn't know.
Cheng Xiaolin's mind turned quickly and she said: "Mom, the people here are not second-rate dealers, they are all individuals. Shujie sells it for 28 yuan per catty, which is slightly more expensive than the normal market price."
"In the morning, we sold a total of more than 6,500 yuan."
After hearing the price mentioned by her daughter-in-law, Wang Yuelan stopped on the spot: "..."
Is this more expensive, she thought?
This is simply ridiculously expensive.
According to the purchase prices paid by fruit sellers in the countryside in previous years, the green-hearted kiwis they grew usually cost more than two yuan per kilogram, and sometimes it could cost three yuan, but his son's takeout price was almost 10 times that.
After she came to her senses, the first thing Wang Yuelan said to her son and daughter-in-law was: "Just know this for yourselves and don't tell anyone else."
"Mom, I understand." Cao Shujie nodded.
The price difference was too high, and his mother was worried that someone in the village might be unbalanced and cause trouble, and this possibility was very high.
But Cao Shujie doesn't care. He can earn this money only because of his own ability.
You said that if you take the nutrient solution, you can ensure the quality of the fruit?
This is obviously a refutation and untenable. No matter who comes, what he is fighting for is his personal skills.
Otherwise, why would there be an agricultural expert? He is!
No one came over the whole afternoon, but Cao Shujie was not idle. He drove to the county at around 2 o'clock, contacted a factory that made packaging materials, negotiated a contract, and customized a batch for 30 cents per box.
The only requirement for kiwi fruit packaging boxes is to make the packaging boxes look more beautiful and high-end.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. No matter how good the product is, if it is not packaged, it will be a treasure covered in dust.
In addition, Cao Shujie also called his wife to pick some more kiwis in the orchard and take them home to ripen them. Before the Saturday weekend came, he went to Pingyuan County and surrounding counties to give away a batch for free.
.
There is a saying that if you can't let go of your children, you can't catch the wolf. Although this situation is not appropriate at present, the meaning is the same.
It's useless to just advertise, you have to speak out and attract people to come to him.
At the same time, Cao Jianhua, a villager in Caojiazhuang who originally ran a supermarket, also signed a mountain land contract with Caojia Village. He contracted 100 acres of mountain land on the mountain to the south of Caojia Village. In Cao Jianhua's words, he planned to engage in free-range farming on the mountain.
.
It is said that the rent signed by Cao Jianhua is the same as that of Cao Shujie, 130 yuan per mu of land. However, Cao Jianhua did not lease for that long. He only contracted for 5 years in the initial stage. He will consider whether to renew the contract depending on the situation.
In terms of rent payment, because Cao Jianhua's contracting period was short, he did not have the preferential treatment of paying the rent in three instalments like Cao Shujie, but paid it all in one lump sum.
Cao Shujie heard this from his father.
When his father said it, he seemed to be in a gossipy spirit.
Wang Yuelan couldn't stand her husband's behavior and said to him: "Don't be so blind there, get to work quickly."
However, what Cao Shujie didn't expect was that on the night he heard this gossip, Cao Jianhua came to see him. He came to ask where Cao Shujie's barbed wire guardrail was made from?
Cao Jianhua also wants to make a batch of the same.
This matter was mutually beneficial. Cao Shujie felt that it would be a good thing for Chen Xingquan, the owner of Chenzheng Guardrail, and would also help deepen the relationship between them, so he gave Chen Xingquan's phone number to Cao Jianhua.
He also called Chen Xingquan in front of Cao Jianhua and explained that an uncle and elder in their village wanted to buy a barbed wire guardrail of the same specifications as his.
"Boss Cao, don't worry, I guarantee that the person you introduce will get a preferential price for you." Chen Xingquan was also very happy.
Because Cao Zhen was involved, the price he paid to Cao Shujie was not high at that time, and it was considered a small profit but quick turnover.
Chen Xingquan didn't expect to get the order from Cao Shujie so quickly, and it was a big order.
On the phone, Chen Xingquan expressed his gratitude to Cao Shujie and said that considering Cao Shujie's time schedule, he would definitely treat him to dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie said to Cao Jianhua: "Uncle Hua, what I bought was a two-meter-high guardrail with iron caltrops on it. It costs 46 yuan per meter. You can go over and have a look, or you can choose the one with a lower price.
But if you are engaged in breeding, I still suggest you buy something sturdy."
When Cao Jianhua heard Cao Shujie's advice, he said: "Shujie, don't worry, I understand. I will treat you to dinner when I come back."
"Uncle Hua, this is all a trivial matter. There is no need for us to do this." Cao Shujie said.
What he said was sincere, and Cao Jianhua felt even more ashamed.
After sending Cao Jianhua away, Cao Shujie still felt that it was unreliable when he thought about him engaging in breeding.
Breeding is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but if you persuade people too much, it is easy for people to think too much, which will eventually lead to hatred and hatred, which is not beautiful.
In the next few days, Cao Shujie took the ripe kiwi fruits everywhere with purpose, but this time there was a little follower named Mengmeng, and Cao Shujie also specially printed several boxes of business cards.
When he went to crowded places in various counties to hand out free kiwis, he then distributed his business cards.
Several boxes of business cards were distributed within a few days.
In the past few days, Cao Shujie was in charge and Cheng Xiaolin was in charge. While Cao Shujie and his daughter Mengmeng were busy promoting their kiwi fruits, Cheng Xiaolin was not idle either. She would receive some sporadic customers who came to pick kiwi fruits every day.
The sales in the past few days are not as much as the first day, but there are still more than 100 kilograms every day. In the three days, a total of 563 kilograms were sold, with a total income of 15,764 yuan.
Including the kiwis sold on the first day, the total income was more than 22,000 yuan.
"Shujie, can you take a look at the accounts for the past few days to see if they are correct?" Cheng Xiaolin handed the account book she recorded to Cao Shujie, as if she was offering a treasure.
Before Cao Shujie could look at it, Mengmeng continued: "Mom, I'm so awesome too, I yelled at you too."
"Really? Why did you yell? Tell your mother," Cheng Xiaolin was curious.
She regretted not following her husband there today.
Mengmeng didn't know what her mother was thinking. When she heard her mother ask her why she yelled, her eyes looked around. When she saw an empty mineral water bottle at home, she went over to hold it with both hands and held it with her little mouth.
The mouth of the bottle shouted loudly: "Uncles and aunts, hello, grandparents, my name is Mengmeng, and my dad gives me peaches for free..."
"Hehe, mom, look, I'm awesome." Mengmeng stared at her mother, wanting to praise her.
"Awesome!" When Cheng Xiaolin saw her husband nodding, she solemnly praised her: "Mengmeng, you are really awesome."
"Hey!" Mengmeng's little face showed two small dimples, and she smiled brightly.
…
Pingyuan County Mingshi Mingdu Community, Lian Xuezhu's home.
After Lian Xuezhu came back from get off work, he was a little worried as soon as he entered the house, but when he saw his son and his wife feasting in the living room, eating the peeled kiwi pulp and smelling the fruity fragrance of the kiwi itself, he was also greedy.
"Are you familiar?" Lian Xuezhu asked subconsciously.
But after he said the words, he felt that it was redundant and said without thinking. If he was not familiar with it, would his wife and children eat him alive?
"Old Lian, I see you are worried. Is there something wrong?" his wife Dang Wanli asked.
Lian Xuezhu said: "A little trouble is really annoying."
"What's the matter? Tell me and listen." Dang Wanli chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed another kiwi fruit. She felt that eating like this was really satisfying.
"Jianjian, what you bought is a little small. Is there enough left for us and my mother to eat for a few days?" Dang Wanli asked her son.
When talking about this matter, Lian Qijian was full of complaints.
He bought a total of nearly 30 kilograms of kiwis last time. He was going to take out half of them to be cooked that night and eat the other half first, but who knew that his mother said that they were all cooked and the other half would be taken to the work unit?
One point.
He also said that good things should be shared.
Lian Qijian had no choice but to ripen all the kiwis. His mother actually took half of it and went to work to share it.
Forget it, but his mother ate even more harshly than he did after she came back, so Lian Qijian had a strong opinion of his mother.
Lian Xuezhu watched his mother-in-law discussing the matter of eating kiwi fruit. No one listened to him at all. He was helpless. His family's status was in jeopardy!
Fortunately, his wife Dang Wanli still remembered it and asked him: "Old Lian, what did you just say?"
"The superiors want our unit to cooperate with the Agricultural Bureau to strengthen support for the economic development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. At the same time, it also allows us to be more harmonious and cooperate in future work..." Lian Xuezhu explained the matter briefly,
Finally, he said: "How can we discuss cooperation better?"
After listening to what he said, Dang Wanli said directly: "Isn't this simple? You two units have a team building, and the matter is settled over a meal and a drink."
Hearing what his wife said, Lian Xuezhu rolled his eyes at her. This woman said the essence of it in one sentence, but the problem was that things couldn't be done that way.
"What are we doing for team building? Eating and drinking are not allowed right now. The bosses are looking for unhealthy tendencies!"
Lian Qijian, who was eating kiwi fruit, heard this and said to his father: "Dad, how about I introduce you to a place."
"What kind of right path can you introduce?" Lian Xuezhu didn't believe it.
His son just needs to play less games.
But the next moment, he heard his son say: "Dad, isn't the purpose of the communication between your two units to support the development of agricultural economy? In this case, why don't you go out to the grassroots and go to the scene to understand the actual needs of the growers?
By the way, I’ll do some team building for you, that would be great!”
After Lian Qijian said these words, Lian Xuezhu and his wife Dang Wanli were stunned.
In fact, the son's words were too mature and exceeded their expectations for his son's usual performance. This was simply beyond expectations!
"Then tell me where should we go? Recommend a place to me." Lian Xuezhu wanted to test his son to see if he really had something to say, or if he was just talking nonsense.
Who knew that his son Lian Qijian didn't even think about it and said directly: "Dad, I will tell you a place, but I have to follow you there, and I have to pick some kiwi fruits."
After finishing speaking, Lian Qijian muttered: "I wonder when the apples over there will be ripe?"
"Where? Tell me." Lian Xuezhu said.
At this time, Dang Wanli also reacted: "Jianjian, are you talking about the place where you picked kiwi fruits?"
"Yes, that's where I'm talking. Dad, Mom, you haven't been there. The plants at Brother Jie's place are beautiful and the environment is very good. Moreover, Brother Jie is doing planting in the mountains. I think if you go there, then
It's perfect!" Lian Qijian said confidently.
Hearing what his son said, Lian Xuezhu thought for a while, then took his mobile phone and went to the balcony to call his subordinates.
This was a matter between two units. He couldn't just go to that place excitedly based on his son's words.
At least arrange for someone to go to the front station in advance to understand the local situation and confirm whether it is really as good as his son said.
The team building between the two departments should not be too low-grade!
