In front of the tricycle, Dong Zhuolin was extremely embarrassed.
Seeing a row of old acquaintances standing in front of me, I was a little embarrassed about my business, so I hurriedly explained to myself: "It's true that I work in a construction company. I'm off work right now, and then I help my uncle sell some watermelons."
"Your uncle?" Gao Chuanfeng was stunned, quickly looked around, and asked: "Which one is your uncle?"
"Are you looking for me?"
Just when Gao Chuanfeng finished speaking, a dark-skinned, tall and thin middle-aged man walked over from another melon farmer.
"I am Dong Zhuolin's uncle. I was chatting with someone just now. Are you... his friends?"
"Oh, I'm Dong Zhuolin's high school classmate." Gao Chuanfeng said.
Uncle Dong Zhuolin smiled and said: "I am his uncle Dong Fang. Isn't this the season for selling melons? There are too many watermelons at home, and they are getting ripe these days, so I brought them to the city to sell some."
Glancing at his eldest nephew Dong Zhuolin, Dong Fang added: "Zhuolin heard that I was going to sell melons in the city these days, so he helped me pick out a few good places and came here with me to practice selling melons in the evening.
"
"Oh, that's it." After hearing Dong Fang's words, Gao Chuanfeng could probably understand why Dong Zhuolin was in a hurry and said that he didn't have time to play ball these days.
Do you want to help your uncle sell watermelons when you co-write?
Gu Chen picked a local unicorn melon and couldn't help but ask Dong Fang: "Uncle Dong, do we have many local unicorn melons?"
"There are quite a few." Dong Fang couldn't help but say while smoking a cigarette: "The terrain of our Jiangnan City is mainly hilly, with hills in the west and plains in the east."
"The basic landforms include six types: low mountains, high hills, low hills, hills, terraces, and plains."
"The soil in our Jiangnan urban area is divided into these soil types: paddy soil, fluvoid soil, purple soil, lime soil, red lime soil, and mountain yellow soil."
"It is precisely because of this terrain and soil that the melons grown have a thin skin and a sweet taste."
Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued to ask: "So, our local Kirin melon planting area is still quite large? So now should be the time to mature?"
"Yes." Dong Fang held a cigarette in his mouth, picked up a watermelon knife, cut a watermelon into several small pieces and distributed them to everyone for tasting, and said casually:
"Every June and July is when our watermelons start to go on the market, so many melon farmers in Jiangnan City will use tricycles and small trucks like mine to bring their own watermelons to the streets and alleys of Jiangnan City for sale!"
Many passers-by saw that there were many people gathering at Dong Fang's stall, and they all moved closer.
While Dong Fang was chatting about business with Gu Chen and others, he shouted to passers-by: "Want to buy melons? The local watermelons are quite sweet."
"Can I have a piece?" asked a woman passing by.
"Here, it's sweet." Dong Fang handed a small piece of watermelon to the woman.
Then he smiled at Gu Chen and said, "The watermelons here are different from those in supermarkets. Most of the watermelons our melon farmers sell are home-grown watermelons."
"Although the varieties are a bit single, the maturity level is even and the price is cheap."
"Those of us often take advantage of the darkness to enter the streets and alleys of Jiangnan City, trying to find our own way out without affecting the city's management and image."
Lu Weiwei tasted a small piece of watermelon and couldn't help but marveled: "Your watermelon is quite sweet. I see that all the Jiangnan Bridge is contracted by you melon farmers."
"Haha." Seeing Lu Weiwei praising the deliciousness of his own watermelon, Dong Fang was still very satisfied and said: "If it's delicious, buy more. Melon farmers like us usually use agricultural trucks as our base."
"Usually, you can set up a temporary sales market by leaning against the roadside, using an electronic scale and a small bench."
"In a certain corner of a modern city, this should be called... called the inheritance of original product transactions."
Gu Chen liked Dong Fang's down-to-earth attitude very much, especially this down-to-earth way of communication.
Honest dealings, if you don't come up empty-handed, the watermelon will still be sweet.
Compared with the varieties of watermelons sold in supermarkets, the watermelons brought home from these melon stalls on the roadside seem to have lost their cold commercial atmosphere and become full of spirit.
In Gu Chen's view, people's love for watermelon should not come from the variety or price, but from the casual summer feeling it represents.
Gu Chen also wanted to buy, so he asked Dong Fang: "Uncle Dong, let me pick a few more to take away. Do you have any sacks?"
"Yes, there is a sack." Dong Fang threw away the cigarette, looked around and asked Dong Zhuolin: "Zhuolin, where did I put my sack?"
"Behind the cockpit." Dong Zhuolin said.
Dong Fang immediately took out a few sacks and asked Gu Chen, "How many do you want?"
"Fill four sacks and help me pick them," Gu Chen said.
When Dong Fang saw the big business coming, he immediately said happily: "Okay, then I will help you pick some good ones."
The two uncles and nephews of the Dong family immediately started to get busy...
Seeing this, other passers-by also started picking their own watermelons.
For a time, Dong Fang's melon stall was overcrowded compared to other melon stalls.
And other melon farmers can only cast envious glances.
While Dong Fang was selecting watermelons, Gu Chen asked him: "Uncle Dong, how long will it take for you to sell out this cart of melons?"
"That's not necessarily true." Dong Fang packed a sack and put it aside first, then picked up another sack and said:
"Normally, it takes two to three days for a cart of watermelons to be sold out. For those of us who go to the city to sell melons, the period from morning to afternoon is the most difficult."
"But 5pm to around 10pm is the prime time for our watermelon sales, and for the rest of the day, we melon farmers can only quietly keep the stall where we are."
"In the face of hot weather, we can only move to the shade of trees during the day so that the melons and people can enjoy the shade. Only in the afternoon and at night can we usher in the peak period of selling melons."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Dong Fang couldn't help but smile and said, "So you guys are my little climax, hehe."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Look what you said." Gu Chen is taking care of the business of his friends and relatives.
But look left and right, there are actually quite a few melon farmers on both sides of the Jiangnan Bridge.
I'm afraid that the limited number of passers-by can't consume so many watermelons, and those who can make deals can only rely on chance.
But the place Dong Zhuolin introduced to his uncle is indeed quite good. There is a sightseeing platform of Jiangnan Bridge, which protrudes directly from the bridge walkway.
Standing here you can enjoy the night view of Jiangnan Bridge.
Therefore, the probability of passers-by staying here is relatively high, and there are more melon farmers setting up stalls.
Gu Chen asked casually and jokingly: "Isn't there a lot of competition in selling melons here?"
"Isn't that right?" Dong Fang packed another sack of watermelons and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's no longer the same as before to sell melons in the city."
"There are many varieties of watermelons in supermarkets, including those that are directly chilled or cut into pieces. If they don't taste good, there will be no market for them."
"My uncle has a hard time selling melons." Dong Zhuolin explained to Gu Chen while helping his uncle weigh the watermelons: "There are too many people planting melons this year. Now it's time for the watermelons to mature again. We have to sell these melons as soon as possible."
go out."
"Some of the melon farmers like my uncle who came out to sell melons brought their own food, and some just had a quick snack."
“Some melon farmers, seeing that they don’t have enough melons to sell, will rush back and pick a cart full of melons to sell.”
"Every time I return home after selling melons, I am already exhausted. After falling asleep early, I have to go to the city again the next day."
"So looking at it now, melon farmers like my uncle still have one of the hardest jobs in this society, so during this period of time after get off work at night, I will come over to help my uncle sell melons, so that my uncle can have more rest."
"Then you are filial enough!" Seeing that Gu Chen bought four sacks of watermelon, Gao Chuanfeng felt embarrassed if he didn't buy some to take back, so he said again: "Then give me two sacks, and try to let your uncle
come home early."
"Okay!" Dong Zhuolin was also happy when he heard that there was a business of two more sacks.
Others sell melons by the piece, but the watermelons here in Dongfang are sold by sacks.
This made many melon farmers nearby envious, and they all stood there in a daze.
And Gu Chen also enjoyed the happiness of childhood in this kind of purchase.
These melon farmers who appear on the streets on summer nights reap their happiness behind their hard work and dedication, and also bring the most authentic urban fireworks atmosphere to the city.
They also made the city warmer while bringing back memories of Gu Chen's childhood.
If you meet these melon farmers on the streets late at night, buy a watermelon and take it home.
Perhaps everyone can experience this simplest, original satisfaction and happiness.
After scanning the QR code to pay, Gu Chen, with the help of Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, moved the watermelon into the trunk and placed it so that the trunk lid could only be partially closed.
Looking at the envious eyes of the melon farmers not far away from Dong Fang's melon stall, Gu Chen asked Dong Fang: "Uncle Dong, do these come from the same place as you?"
"That's right." Dong Fang glanced at his companions and couldn't help but said: "The watermelons we grow are all in a poverty alleviation industrial base in our village."
"We have planted more than 50 acres of this kind of Kirin watermelon here, and it is currently very unsalable."
"How many poor households can this poverty alleviation industry bring?" Gu Chen asked.
Dong Fang replied: "We are now 23 poor households, and we all participate in dividends."
"The weather is not very good now, and the watermelons in the fields are about to mature again, so these watermelons must be sold quickly, otherwise the losses will be huge."
Gu Chen thought for a while and then said: "We in the police force have a lot of people, but just the few of us who buy watermelons can only consume a limited amount. Otherwise, I will help you go to our branch to ask and see everyone.
Do you want to focus on buying watermelons?"
"If everyone has this willingness to buy, then we will calculate the purchase quantity and you can just send the watermelons directly to our Furong branch. Do you think that's okay?"
"Hey, are you comrades the police? If this can really happen, then on behalf of our 23 poor households, I would like to thank you comrades the police."
Dong Fang had just sold 6 sacks of watermelon, and Gu Chen instantly came up with an idea for a bigger order.
It felt like he had met someone noble tonight. Dong Fang smiled with crow's feet on his face and said with gratitude:
"If it really works, I will give you the best price. As long as you can sell these nearly ripe watermelons in the fields as soon as possible, then you will be the benefactor of us melon farmers."
"Well, this is just my temporary proposal." Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and asked Dong Fang: "Can you leave me a phone number? I can contact you then."
"No problem." Dong Fang quickly took out his mobile phone and exchanged numbers with Gu Chen, feeling that he was lucky tonight.
The appearance of Gu Chen and others caused many passers-by to stop.
Suddenly, there were a lot more melon-buying customers on the Jiangnan Bridge.
The melon farmers are all happy...
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few watermelons left on Dong Fang’s melon stall, and he could go home and sleep early.
After Dong Zhuolin weighed a customer's watermelon, he trotted all the way to Gu Chen's car and thanked Gu Chen through the car window: "Brother Gu Chen, thank you so much tonight. If it weren't for you, maybe we would still be here."
It will take a long time to sell it here."
"It's okay, that's right. We'll ask everyone in the group later and see what they say." Gu Chen also said modestly.
Although I know and have my own call, basically there is no problem for Furong Branch to buy poverty alleviation watermelons.
However, Gu Chen does not want to limit it to Furong Branch, but also wants to expand the purchasing collective to all major police stations under Furong Branch, as well as other branch police stations.
Dong Zhuolin smiled and said: "You are a very loyal brother. If I, Dong Zhuolin, are needed in the future, just give me a shout."
Gu Chen smiled and couldn't help but said: "We are the people's police, so we should do this little thing."
"Boss, how do you sell this melon?"
Here Dong Zhuolin was still talking to Gu Chen, but over there Dong Fang was almost overwhelmed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Chen smiled and said: "Hurry over and help, we have to go to dinner."
"Okay, let's meet again later."
The two waved to each other, and then Gu Chen drove away.
…
…
Following the navigation, Gu Chen drove off the bridge and arrived at the farmhouse Lu Weiwei mentioned, a restaurant not far from Jiangnan Bridge.
This area is basically still in an undeveloped area, and there are vegetable fields everywhere around the farmhouse.
At this moment, there were many diners' vehicles parked outside the farmhouse.
After Gu Chen and Gao Chuanfeng parked their cars respectively, they came to the open-air platform.
There are stars and lights all around arranged by the shop owner, as well as many flowers and plants.
In Gu Chen's eyes, this is an out-and-out illegal building.
However, this location was originally a restaurant converted from wasteland, surrounded by vegetable fields and some undeveloped land along the river.
The interior of the restaurant is a shed built with a steel frame structure.
However, because of the summer, diners prefer to sit on the platform outside and overlook the beautiful scenery of the river and the gorgeous lights of the Jiangnan Bridge.
This place gives people an atmosphere full of human fireworks.
After Gu Chen and everyone occupied their seats, the waiter came over with menus to greet them.
The task of ordering food was handed over to Lu Weiwei, while Gu Chen continued to pick up his mobile phone and began to edit and send text proposals in the work group about purchasing watermelons for poverty alleviation.
It didn’t take long for the group to receive responses from many colleagues.
He Junchao:【How many watermelons did you buy?】
Gu Chen: [4 sacks, take them to the third group office tomorrow morning.]
He Junchao:【(Luxury)】
Officer Ding: [So much? That’s enough for three groups of us. How can we buy watermelons for poverty alleviation? Do we need statistics? 】
Lu Weiwei: [Send me a few watermelons directly, and Xiao Yuan and I will count them in the group.]
Officer Ding: [OK, then I want 4.]
He Junchao: [Let me take two, too. A single person can only contribute so much. 】
Trainee Xiao Chen【I want 3.】
Officer Wang: [I want 4.]
Lu Weiwei:【I want 5 too.】
Yuan Shasha: [Then I want 100.]
He Junchao:【???】
Officer Ding:【???】
Gu Chen quickly raised his head and glanced at Yuan Shasha sitting opposite and asked: "Xiao Yuan, did you type the wrong number? Did you add an extra "0"?"
Yuan Shasha smiled and said: "No, Senior Brother Gu, I will... order 100 first. A relative of mine's company happened to order some watermelons as summer benefits for employees. I will order 100 first to let them have a taste.
If it tastes good, then order hundreds more."
"Haha!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and also couldn't help but complain: "By the way, what does Xiao Yuan's relatives company do? It seems like a very large company."
"Haha, it's nothing." Yuan Shasha looked embarrassed, feeling like she was exposed?
Think about it just now, instead of revealing in the group that you want to order 100 units, secretly contact Dong Fang, and then order 1,000 units, wouldn't it be flattering?
However, it was Gu Chen who called for help in the group, and Yuan Shasha just wanted to support Gu Chen's charity actions.
In the group, the questions about He Junchao continue.
He Junchao: [Xiao Yuan, what’s going on? Do you want to order 100 pieces? 】
Yuan Shasha: [Well, I support the charity action launched by Senior Brother Gu and order 100 first.]
He Junchao:【...】
He Junchao: [Then let me order 10. It would be embarrassing to order two.]
Gu Chen: [When ordering watermelons for public welfare poverty alleviation, please do according to your ability. There is no requirement to order quantity. After the ordering figures are tallied, Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan will send the figures to the melon farmers, and then they will be shipped to our Furong branch compound for sharing.
.]
Officer Ding: [Okay, I will forward it to other groups now so that everyone can take action.]
Officer Wang: [I will also transfer it to Mr. Xi and Xiao Yang immediately.]
Everyone took action and started editing the text and forwarding it to various police work groups.
For a time, everyone's enthusiasm for ordering melons was unprecedentedly high.
After borrowing pen and paper from the store, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha started working on site.
The statistics started from 300 to 500, and soon jumped from 500 to 800.
When the food in the store was ready, the number of watermelons ordered for charity poverty alleviation quickly exceeded 1,000.
"That's great." Lu Weiwei didn't care what the people around her thought of her, she jumped up excitedly and said: "It has exceeded 1,000. It seems that everyone's ordering efficiency is very high. These 1,000 are just the current orders.
The number may increase in the future.”
Seeing Gu Chen's satisfied look, Lu Weiwei said excitedly: "Junior brother Gu, you are really awesome this time."
