Chapter 916: The selfish and vain female supporting role (12)
Chen Xuan brought his teammates from the basketball team to the barbecue stall to help when he had nothing to do.
The big boys are all tall and tall, and some of them are very handsome. They stand next to the barbecue stall and become a living sign. It used to be called the "beautiful barbecue stall", but now it is jokingly called the "handsome guy barbecue stall".
The Liu family father and son only dare to poke fun at women, no matter how much they covet her, they don't dare to cause trouble.
Finally left the night market and went to set up a stall elsewhere in disgrace. Starting a business from scratch is enough for them to be miserable for a while.
In that room, after Xu Yin successfully handed over the rent, the rent was about to expire. Half a month ago, she told the landlord that she would not renew the lease. So when it expired, the landlord came over to check the decoration and appliances in the house to make sure they were not damaged. After collecting the keys, Xu Yin carried two suitcases and a backpack and embarked on the journey back home.
Chen Jiao drove an off-road vehicle with a relatively large trunk to take her to the high-speed rail station.
Actually, I can just take a taxi, why bother you to make a trip.
Oh, it doesnt take much time, not to mention Im happy with it.
Chen Jiao came down to help her put the suitcase together, then returned to the car and started the car.
"My brother said that the barbecue stall business has been booming recently. The barbecue stall at Dongxiangkou has been evacuated, and we are the only one in the whole night market. I am thinking about striking while the iron is hot and renting a storefront to open a full-day barbecue restaurant. But I also know that the area near the university is very lively at night, and if an all-day barbecue restaurant is opened, the business may not be as good as it is now, so we should wait a little longer..."
Xu Yin smiled and listened to her talk about business.
At the high-speed rail station, Chen Jiao took her to the ticket checking hall.
At this time, she took out a thick red envelope and stuffed it into Xu Yin's backpack, and also gave her two boxes of Anshi's famous specialties: "You helped me a lot by selling my formula, and I didn't even have time to thank you properly. Please be sure to accept your small kindness. Although our cooperation is relatively hasty, I consider you a friend. If you have anything, just ask, and I will definitely help you if you can."
After saying that, she waved her hand and exited the ticket checking hall.
The person behind Xu Yin urged her: "Hurry up! There is no one in front."
Xu Yin had no choice but to accept Chen Jiao's intention with a smile.
However, she has confidence in her recipe and believes that the business of the Chen family's bakery shop will get better and better.
Xiangcheng is a small town in central China, surrounded by mountains and built on the mountains.
Due to traffic congestion, development here has been relatively slow. It can be said that it is one of the last batch of towns in the country to be lifted out of poverty.
The way to get rid of poverty is also very simple - growing fruits and selling fruits.
With the promotion of the local government, every household either contracted an orchard or fruit forest, or planted fruit trees in the private land in front of and behind the house. In addition to going out to work, the only way to make a living was by selling fruits.
The cherry orchard contracted by Xu Yin's family is quite large, with a total of five acres.
When the village collective orchard was disbanded and turned to the villagers themselves, other fruit orchards were quickly divided up, but no one wanted the cherry orchard.
It is said that large cherries with good flavor are popular in the market outside, while there is no market for small cherries.
In the end, it was Xu Yins grandfather who made the decision and let the eldest couple take over the contract rights of the cherry orchard for 70 years, thinking that no matter what, the family would finally have a living.
But the fact is exactly as the villagers guessedsmall cherries are not easy to sell. It is troublesome to pick, difficult to transport and store, and the purchasers who come to your door are very picky, so the purchase price is very low every year.
Grandpa Xu felt that he had made a mistake in his decision-making and had harmed the elder's family. He became depressed and fell ill. His younger son took him to the city to recuperate. He has not come back in the past few years for fear of hurting his feelings.
Xu's father and mother Xu devoted themselves to the cherry orchard, doing everything themselves and saving whatever they could. But they never expected that their daughter would spend all the money they saved.
Mingkang, are your cherries almost ripe? Have the purchasers come to see them? How much are they offering this year?
In the evening of early summer, Xu Mingkang finished his day's work, closed the gate of the cherry orchard, and was about to go home for dinner, but was stopped by the village chief.
"Uncle Village Chief." He scratched his hair and looked a little depressed, "It will be picked in a few days. When the purchaser went to Dawei's house two days ago, he also came to my house to have a look. However, the little cherries will be picked this year. The price has dropped again, last year it was still 9 yuan per catty, but this year even if it is 7 yuan, it may not be affordable.
However, the cost of fertilizers is rising every year, so this years income is far worse than last year.
But what can be done? His family lives on these five acres of cherry orchards.
It's not easy for Yinyin to work hard in a big city. Hearing her cry on the phone several times made him and the child's mother feel as if their hearts were being chopped out of flesh. They originally thought about waiting for the cherries to be sold and giving the child a sum of money. Let her not be so stressed, but now...
Xu Mingkang shook his head: "Let's see again. If it doesn't work, I will pick it out and sell it."
Small cherries are fresh on the market, and the retail price in the city can be 15 yuan per pound, which is more than twice the purchase price.
Xu Mingkang naturally knows that it is more profitable to pick out and sell them, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
His family is not like other families. They have many children and are willing to spend money to hire small laborers.
There are only three people in his family. After his daughter graduated, he stayed in the big city to work. In order to save more money, the couple worked on the cherry orchard by themselves, all year round. If he went into the city to pick cherries and sell them, All the work in the garden must fall on his wife alone, and she can't bear it. But if you hire someone, the day's wages will be quite a lot. The profit is not high to begin with, and if we hire more people, it will become even less profitable.
Besides, the skin of small cherries is more tender than that of large cherries. They are easily bruised by a few bumps and can easily rot when the temperature is high.
The purchaser comes in a transport truck, which is air-conditioned and covered with shock-absorbing protective padding, which can reduce the loss of cherries.
But he had to go to the city to sell, so he had to take the bus carrying a basket. The bus was bumpy and there was no air conditioning on the bus. It was suffocating all the way and he suffered numerous bruises and suffocation.
After trying several times in the past few years, I found that I couldnt make much more money than selling it to a buyer, and it was very tiring. Later, I simply didnt think about picking it out and selling it.
But if the purchase price this year is really so low, he wants to try his luck in the city.
My fifth child is also saying that if the purchase price is so low this year, why dont we just go to the city and sell them ourselves.
Xu Laowu is the youngest son of the village chief. His family also grows cherries, but they are big cherries. However, the price of big cherries is also said to have dropped this year. A new variety has emerged in the south. I heard it is grafted with cherries and has a better taste than ordinary large cherries.
No, yesterday the purchaser came to quote, the highest price was 16 yuan per catty.
This price is a bit difficult for them to accept.
Last year, selling for 20 per catty was considered low, but this year it actually fell below 20.
The village chief took a puff of cigarette, sighed and continued: "It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. You have to take the bus three times. It's bumpy and bumpy. I'm afraid there are not many intact ones in the city. This We are not looking for someone to discuss, and we plan to rent an air-conditioned van together and take them to the city to sell. Mingkang, since you also want to pick out and sell, do you want to go with Lao Wu and the others? "
