The road down the mountain was easier in the morning, so it took about three hours.
But the road up the mountain was not that easy at this time, and the van driven by Li Bu was no longer a good vehicle.
So with stops and starts, Li Bu relied on his superb driving skills to drive for more than four hours before finally driving the car home.
When the two of them got home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Aiguo, who had passed by Li Bu's house many times, saw their car coming back and immediately approached him and asked, "What time did you go out in the morning and come back so early? How is the sale?"
Not sold yet??”
"Dad, you are here. This is the roast duck I bought for you, and this is your favorite Wuliangye. We have sold out all the lychees. Xiaomei and I bought this to honor you, hehehe...
." Seeing Li Aiguo appear at his door, Li Bu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took out the things he bought for the two families, and then gave Li Aiguo the portion prepared for Li Aiguo's family.
After reaching out and taking the things from Li Bu, Li Aiguo first looked around, and then asked in a low voice, "All are sold? How much did you take out this time, and how much did you sell for in total?"
"It's easy to sell outside. Others sell for 18 and we sell for 15. One thousand kilograms of lychees were sold out in three hours.
The total sale price was more than 14,000 yuan. After deducting the 5,000 yuan wholesale price that should be given to you, we made about 10,000 yuan." There was no need to lie to his father-in-law, so Li Bu just said it directly.
The bottom was exposed.
"In the past, we had abundant lychees here every year, and the purchase price was only 50 cents per pound. Others were too lazy to come up to pick them up because the mountain roads were dangerous. Unexpectedly, this year's production has been greatly reduced, and the price has actually caught up with the good prices.
But this good price is of no use. This year, only two families in our village, your father’s family and my family, have lychees that bear fruit. The rest are in twos and threes. One family doesn’t even have a hundred catties. The total number of lychees in the whole village is not enough.
Less than 10,000 kilograms.
The purchase price of 10,000 kilograms is only 5 yuan, which is just over 50,000 yuan. But even so, others are too lazy to come up and pull it up, because our broken mountain road is really too dangerous.
Alas, the road is impassable and the future of the village is in doubt."
After lamenting that the road was blocked and the future of the village was in doubt, Li Aiguo looked at Li Bu seriously and said, "Xiaobu, I will sell all the lychees at home to you, and you can pay whatever you want in the end.
Just give me and your dad the wholesale price.
Also, don’t flaunt your money around, lest you attract those loudmouthed women in the village later.
If someone asks you where your lychees are sold, just say that their boss hired you to drive the truck to transport the goods, and how much does it cost to transport a truck?
Don't tell me that you earn more than 10,000 yuan per car. I'm jealous now. Maybe someone will repossess your shabby van for you tomorrow..."
"Okay, I know, I won't talk nonsense.
Besides, these lychees from our two families are actually only enough for me to sell them for four or five days. Even if others want to be jealous, they can’t be jealous, hehehe..." He smiled and said back to his father-in-law.
After a few words, Li Bu began to open the door and invite Li Aiguo to come in, while nodding in agreement.
Li Aiguo came here specifically to see if his son-in-law had gained anything. Now that he has seen it, he is quite satisfied. In addition, he also has something to do.
So Li Aiguo didn't stay too long, so he sat at Li Bu's house for a while, then took the things Li Bu gave him and went home with a smile on his face.
When you give something to your father-in-law, of course you can’t forget about your own family.
After packing up the van with Li Yanmei, Li Bu took Li Yanmei and carried the roast chicken and liquor bought for Li Wanfu and went back to his father's house.
Li Wanfu, who had long known that Li Bu and the others were back, was currently wearing a vest and shorts, half asleep on the lounge chair at the door. When he saw the two coming, he immediately pretended to have just woken up and said, "You're back.
How was your harvest today?"
"All the lychees I brought with me were sold out, weighing a thousand kilograms, for more than 10,000 yuan. Excluding the wholesale price to my father-in-law, I made almost 10,000 yuan.
I know you like to eat roast chicken, so Yanmei and I bought this specially for you, and also bought you a bottle of Wuliangye." After smiling and talking about his harvest today, Li Bu brought it
The roast chicken and white wine were handed to my mother Liu Yan, who just walked out of the house.
After reaching out to take the roast chicken and white wine from Li Bu's hand, Liu Yan first gave Li Bu a disgusted look, then she greeted them both into the house and whispered, "It's good to make money, but it's also good."
Don't show off blindly, or others will get jealous and try to trick you.
By the way, Xiaobu, Xiaomei, have you had lunch? Mom still has pork and mutton here, can I order some noodles for you?"
"I haven't eaten yet. We just met my dad at home, so we gave him the roast duck and liquor we bought for him.
Then I packed up the car and came directly over here with Xiaobu. If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten to eat.
Mom, let me do it with you, hehehe..." Li Yanmei and Liu Yan have always had a good relationship, so after smiling and replying to Liu Yan, Li Yanmei and Liu Yan went into the kitchen to cook.
.
"I'm a little greedy now. Liu Yan, chop up the roast chicken. I'll have a few sips later to satisfy my craving..."
After shouting a few words to the kitchen with a smile, Li Wanfu took Li Bu and sat down on the bamboo chair in the living room. He said with a smile; "I went down the mountain to sell lychees very early in the morning. I must be exhausted."
Bar.
You haven't suffered yet. Think about it, when your mother and I were young, in order to raise money for you and your brother's tuition, we would start pulling carts manually at around ten o'clock in the evening.
At around five o'clock the next morning, I took my fruits down the mountain to sell them.
And the things at that time were not worth much. I only made three or four yuan after a day of hard work. At the end of the day, your mother and I were both exhausted, but the money we made was not enough for you.
It’s for people’s tuition fees, hehehe…”
"Dad, I was ignorant before. I will work hard to make money to support my family in the future. I embarrassed you and my mother before." After hearing what his father had done, and then thinking about his own dissipation in the past five years, Li Bu took his place.
My predecessor said those words, which I have always felt sorry for in my heart.
"Hey, I hope you are really sensible this time, and don't change your mind in the blink of an eye like before."
After muttering a few words in his heart, Li Wanfu showed a happy smile, looked at Li Bu lightly and said, "Now we are separated. Whether you will live well in the future depends on you.
On your parents' side, as well as your eldest brother and the rest of the family, there aren't many people who can help you.
When you have children in the future, your mother and I can help you take care of them, but the quality of your life can only depend on you..."
"Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down again this time.
When I came back this time, I had already planned my future life.
After I sell out the lychees this time, I will build a breeding farm in the orchard to raise free-range chickens, pheasants, and pigeons.
Then I will follow the example of Huanong Brothers at the foot of the mountain and make a short video or something to promote my products, so that I can earn clicks on agricultural products and traffic, and both make money.
And now many people who make short videos have become rich. You can rest assured that I will not forget my roots. If I really become successful in the future, I will pay for everyone to build bridges and build roads, so that everyone can sell all the products in our Lijiacun.
Go and let everyone come in and see the beautiful scenery in our mountains..."
After hearing his father's words, Li Bu took out a cup from under the table, opened the liquor he brought and poured two cups. Then he took the wine cup and talked to Li Wanfu about his future plans.
