Lu Chixiao accompanied her to sort out the gems and put them into the box: "Didn't you say you also bought spices?"
"Yes, yes, the spices here are so cheap!"
As Xu Suizhu spoke, he opened the spice bag and took out bags of various tropical spices measured in kilograms, including cinnamon, cloves, basil, pepper, curry leaves and various cardamom.
Ceylon cinnamon is said to be the "most authentic cinnamon"; Ceylon cardamom has the most complete varieties; Ceylon clove has a strong fragrance and can be used for cooking seasoning, essential oil refining, aromatherapy and tobacco making, etc.
"The stall owner saw that I bought a lot, and asked me in broken English if I was in the foreign trade business. If the quantity was large, he could give me a cheaper price!" Xu Suizhu smiled and told Baozi Daddy, "I was on the way here.
I was just thinking, should our "Jiangcheng Shanhe" set up an import and export trading company? To introduce domestic specialties and top-notch goods to foreign traders, and at the same time introduce high-quality foreign products to domestic traders. If we have enough manpower, we can do it ourselves
It’s okay to open an import and export goods supermarket. Anyway, we have our own building, so we can open a supermarket on the first floor to sell all kinds of import and export goods..."
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it became. Xu Suizhu looked at Baozi with bright apricot eyes and asked, "What do you think?"
"When did the idea that Teacher Xu came up with not work?" Lu Chixiao joked, "I'll discuss it with the boss when I get back. I think he's quite free recently, so it's good to have something to do."
Mr. Lu, who was playing with his son at home, suddenly sneezed, shaking the son in his arms three times. The little guy thought he was playing with him, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and burst into laughter.
Lu Chilin raised his eyebrows: "I usually don't laugh no matter how I tease you, but a sneeze is really flattering! How about another one? Ah-sneeze-"
"Grrrr!"
"Ah sneeze——"
"Grrrr!"
"..."
Mrs. Lu, who was reading the newspaper with her reading glasses, listened to several back and forths, and finally couldn't help scolding her eldest son: "Are you boring? Are you afraid of making your son stupid? From now on, you will be happy if you laugh when you see someone sneezing.
Already?"
"..." Lu Chilin thought so too!
Forget it! No more playing!
"Are the second brother and his sister-in-law coming back soon?"
"Yesterday Xiaojuan came to the house and sat for a while. She said she was going back tonight. If the journey goes well, she should be able to arrive on Saturday. Alas, it is troublesome to go abroad! I heard that I only stayed in that country for three days, and it took a long time to go back and forth.
It took so long!”
"That's because we take the sea route. The plane is faster!" Young Master Lu said, "I heard that the scenery there is quite beautiful. I will take you there by plane next time. I can't help it. Who can let you go there?
This is his job. Let’s go play by ourselves, why should we suffer this? We must choose to fly!”
"Come on! I won't go on a random yacht!" Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at him, "On my own yacht, if I want to sleep and sing, if I feel bored after staying in the cabin for a long time, I will go to the deck to watch the scenery.
How comfortable! Do you get this kind of perks when flying? No?"
"..."
Young Master Lu couldn't refute his mother's words for a while.
At this moment, he could never have imagined that the plane that he compared to a boat would be a plane that would make him want to vomit in the future.
As the CEO of an import and export trading company, I was not allowed to fly frequently to all parts of the country to sign large-scale trade contracts with countries around the world! So I spent half of the year flying in the sky...
…
"Isn't it cute?" Xu Suizhu showed Daddy Baozi her afternoon's spoils like a treasure.
The luggage was basically packed during the lunch break, and the rest was just the things I bought in the afternoon.
In addition to spices, she also bought many local handicrafts.
Although I didn’t go specifically to the wholesale market for handicrafts, I saw this product being sold at the gem market, so I went shopping.
Women are all duplicitous. They say they won’t buy it, but it’s not very practical. If you buy it, it will freshen for a while and then accumulate dust. The result is——
I saw a carved wooden elephant and a wood-carved mask with a unique style and wanted to buy it. I said my kid would definitely like it;
When I saw the beautiful crystal bracelets and hair accessories, I thought the little girl would definitely like them;
I saw the batik fabric clothing and wanted to buy it. It has a strong tropical ethnic style! Maybe I will do this once in my life, so don’t leave any regrets!
When I saw the simple seats, leather bags, and wallets sewn from buffalo leather, I wanted to buy them even more. Others may not be very practical, but who dare to say that a small chair or a wallet is not practical?
Buy buy buy!
In the end, it was still the store door where large and small bags came out.
It's a rare trip, so I have to pay some tourist tax to the local government - I firmly refuse to admit that my head gets hot when I enter the store, and I want to buy everything.
Of course, it’s the gem market! Of course, gems cost the most.
"Let me tell you, the gems here are really cheap!" Xu Suizhu did not forget to explain to Baozi what he had learned all afternoon while packing the boxes. "No wonder gem dealers from all over the world come here to purchase goods. It's a bit far away.
, but you can earn a lot more! The quality of the gems is also good! Look at the peacock sapphire I found, isn’t it beautiful? This blue is really pure!”
Lu Chixiao admired the sapphire as big as a baby's fist with her hand and said, "It's quite beautiful. I'll ask Taozi to find a master to grind a pendant for you later."
"Such a big one can sharpen several pendants! It's such a waste to only sharpen one! Use the scraps to grind the ring surface, the brooch is also good!" Xu Suizhu thought for a while and said, "Actually, Li Tao can really try to purchase goods here.
His Zhenxuan Pavilion was originally in the jade business. He said that the price of domestic jade has been rising in the past two years. It can be seen that the competitiveness of the industry is also increasing. If you open a new business, you may be able to bring back your old capital.
OK, old trees will bloom new flowers, I think it’s feasible!”
"That guy is so smart! I don't need you to mention anything. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. Go back and ask the master in his shop to pick up the extra money. Don't say anything, just put the gems to him, and he will take the initiative to come and ask you about it.
.”
How could Lu Chixiao not understand the temperament of his younger brothers? He likes money and enjoys the process of making money!
So if you know that Sri Lanka has such beautiful and charming gemstones, and the key is that the purchase price is much lower than domestic jade, who would not want to expand this new business? Unless he is too lazy to be content with the status quo and unwilling to change, then he has nothing to say.
But neither Li Tao nor Fu Zhengyang are such people.
Seeing how confident Baozi's father was, how could Xu Suizhu dare to make a bet with him?
Which bet did she win?
If it weren't for the indescribable stakes, I could write a history of Xu's blood and tears!
Don’t gamble! Definitely don’t gamble!
Teacher Xu stood firm: "Gambling is a bad habit! You must quit!"
Lu Chixiao rested his chin on her shoulder, shook his shoulders with laughter, and deliberately ruffled her smooth hair: "You are smart, Teacher Xu!"
Xu Suizhu gave him a blank look in return.
Can you not learn to be smart?
Those experiences and lessons gained through blood and tears!
