Chapter 27 Selling Watermelons

Mrs. Zhang walked home with a vegetable basket. In this era, there are very few people who still use a vegetable basket to buy vegetables. That's why Mrs. Zhang saved like this. The first vegetable basket at home that has been used for more than ten years is still kept.

Because of the hard work when she was young, even though the family situation is better now, Mrs. Zhang still lives frugally. Of course, this does not exist in front of her most beloved grandson.

Today is Friday, and her eldest grandson, who is in junior high school in the city, is coming back to live. Mrs. Zhang got up early to buy vegetables, and planned to make a table of delicious treats for her good grandson. She didn't know that he was starving and thin at school. No.

Originally, Boss Zhang always bought vegetables at a fixed stall. After all, there are not many bosses who can tolerate her picky and good temper, but this day when she walked around the vegetable market, she saw many people surrounding a stall. The dishes sold taste very good.

Granny Zhang squeezed in to have a look, and found that the freshness was quite fresh, but the taste of the vegetables was almost the same. If it's delicious, come to the stall tomorrow and ask the boss to return the money to her.

Mrs. Zhang bought the three most common dishes, tomatoes, cucumbers and green vegetables. Tomatoes were used for scrambled eggs, cucumbers were mixed with a cold dish, and green vegetables were used to make green vegetable tofu soup, together with braised pork and boiled shrimp. It was quite full.

As soon as she finished, her son's family came back. Seeing her grandson so happy, Mrs. Zhang held his hand and shouted that she was thinner, and began to add vegetables to his bowl when she got to the dinner table.

"Grandma, let me do it myself. Hey, I don't like tomatoes." The grandson of the Zhang family muttered, but he was brought up by his grandma. It was clamped out again, and had to be stuffed into the mouth.

At first, the child ate tomatoes and vegetables as if he was taking medicine, but his complexion changed when he tasted it. Without the help of Mrs. Zhang, he picked up a few chopsticks and said, "Grandma, your cooking is so delicious. .”

Looking at the mother-in-law and grandson, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family looked at her husband helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Maybe Mom will let you obediently eat some vegetables. This child, it's not good for your health if you don't eat vegetables."

Her husband also knew about his son's faults, and said with a sneer, "My son is filial."

As a result, when they tasted it, they also found that these dishes were different. Not to mention the braised pork and shrimp, the taste of the few vegetarian dishes was much better than usual.

The child was even full of oil, and even drank two bowls of vegetable tofu soup, which he never drank, and flattered him with his thumbs up and said, "Grandma, this is your skill, and my mother can't do it. It's worse than grass."

The face of the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family turned dark, but the old lady Zhang said cheerfully: "It's delicious. I'll stay for two days if it's delicious. Grandma will cook it for you every day. Hey, the boss didn't lie today. Their food is delicious. It's really delicious."

The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family rolled her eyes at her son, and then said, "This cucumber is very good. It tastes like a mouthful of cucumber. It's completely different from the ones bought in the city. Mom, where did you buy it? I'll buy more tomorrow." Go back, put it in the refrigerator and eat it for a week."

Lin Yufen's vegetable stand became a hit, and almost all those who came to buy it became repeat customers. Although the price she sells is even slightly more expensive, but the taste is good, and people nowadays are not short of money, and they are willing to buy something delicious.

When there are more customers, the portion of the dishes will decrease. At the beginning, it can last until the end of the morning market, but as the days pass, the production of vegetables in the Yueying Mountain area can't keep up. After all, the Jin family's vegetable garden is so small. big.

Lin Yufen is also smart. After finding out that there is no shortage of sales, she went home to discuss with her elders and first, and directly contracted a few acres of land in the village to grow vegetables, and then bought them from the family who had grown enough vegetables. Not out of stock.

Grandpa Jin and Grandma Jin also made a fortune from the vegetable garden. The two elders took the money and counted it, and they couldn't help but feel a little tempted to expand the planting.

Jin Nanfeng said: "Grandpa, grandma, it takes a lot of effort to grow vegetables, and in the end the harvest doesn't cost much. Let's grow enough for our own food, and the surplus can be used to pickle vegetables."

Grandpa Jin was a little reluctant, and said: "My leg is also healed, and grandpa can take care of it if you go to the city. When you go to the city, grandpa and grandma will have nothing to do at home. Why don't you grow a la carte and earn money?" Some money."

Jin Nanfeng thought of the increasingly ripe watermelons on the bank of the river, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, our watermelons are ripening soon. There are so many watermelons, enough for us to be busy for a while, let's talk about it after we've been busy for a while."

Grandpa Jin looked at his grandson, a little suspicious of his plan, took a puff of cigarettes but didn't dare to ask directly, so he had to remind vaguely: "It's easier to sit in an office than to do farm work hard."

However, Jin Nanfeng stood up and said, "Hard work is hard work, and seeing what I grow gives me a sense of accomplishment. Grandpa, just watch me make a fortune, and then we will clean up Yue Yingshan."

"Hey..." Grandpa Jin watched his grandson go away, and couldn't help complaining to Grandma Jin, "Could it be that Nan Nan doesn't plan to go back?"

Grandma Jin also had some doubts in her heart, but Jin Nanfeng was very happy to stay with her at home. Going to Beijing is good, but she doesn't see her grandson a few times throughout the year, and she usually panics in her mind.

Grandma Jin hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you can earn money growing watermelons, it's good for Nan Nan to stay in the village."

Grandpa Jin sighed slightly, looked at Yueying Mountain in the distance, and finally said: "That's all, the child is getting older, hey, I'm also afraid that this child will follow his father's old path."

Grandma Jin's face was a little sad, but she still retorted: "That can't be done, Nan Nan has made up her mind since she was a child, and her temper is better than his father."

Jin Nanfeng said in front of his grandparents that he was full of confidence, but he was a little worried when he got to the field. The biggest disadvantage of agricultural products is that they usually cannot be sold at a high price in the place of production, especially during the harvest season.

The harvest of watermelons in this field is definitely a bumper harvest. As far as the eye can see, there are densely packed watermelons, and the ripening time of the watermelons is about the same. It would be good for the two varieties to be apart for at most ten days and a half months.

Jin Nanfeng walked into the field, and the lion king who followed him had already jumped into the field and began to pull the watermelon. After a while, he skillfully bit off a vine and pushed the big watermelon over.

Jin Nanfeng patted the Lion King on the head, and said angrily, "I want to eat watermelon again, and I've already eaten up my portion for today."

The Lion King groaned twice, looking very pitiful, but the cruel master stood still, and the Lion King hugged his calf, revealing a pair of wet eyes, but Jin Nanfeng took his watermelon away without a trace at all. The plan to open melons.

The Lion King quit this time, and barked at Jin Nanfeng twice, Jin Nanfeng reached out and gave him a chestnut, cursing: "I'm so brave, you dare to speak loudly to me, tomorrow's watermelon will also be cancelled."

When the Lion King heard this, he stopped whining and pretended to be pitiful, turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs.

Jin Nanfeng sighed slightly, watermelons are really good watermelons, and the taste is also very good, but the problem is that the market in Daisy Town is too small, he can't sell so many watermelons at all, and they can't sell them at a high price.

If Jin Nanfeng wanted to sell it at a low price, he could actually sell it to wholesalers given the quality of his batch of watermelons, but he was not willing to do so. Firstly, it was too much of a loss, and the labor cost might not be able to recover. Secondly, it was also a plan for the future. When the time comes, he will grow a mountain of fruits and sell them cheaply?

The transportation here in Daisy Town is not very convenient, but it is not to the extent that transportation is inconvenient. This is thanks to the government's vigorous road construction in the past few years, adhering to the concept of road construction before getting rich, and even Yueyingshan is a big city. road.

However, this is all useless work. The road has been repaired, but they don't have any special products here, and the scenery is good. People in the city don't like to come all the way here. The development of Anshan itself is mediocre, and it can't drive the surrounding area.

Holding a big watermelon, Jin Nanfeng had an idea. He called Zhang Guoliang to find out about the delivery situation in the town, and finally picked and picked nearly a hundred watermelons.

When the Lion King brought Agnelli over, Jin Nanfeng was sweating profusely in the watermelon field. When he turned around, he saw Agnelli patted the watermelon pushed by the Lion King, nodded and said, "Well, it sounds like it's ripe. .”

Jin Nanfeng knew what the Lion King was up to at a glance. For some reason, this little guy liked Agnelli so much, and always wandered around his feet.Seeing Agnelli's stiff look at first, Jin Nanfeng thought he didn't like puppies, but one day when he went back, he saw Agnelli sitting upright on a small bench, eating a piece of watermelon by himself and feeding the puppy Quickly.

Noticing Jin Nanfeng's unfriendly eyes, Agnelli looked at the expectant Lion King at his feet, coughed and said, "Nanfeng, I'm a little thirsty, can you sell me a watermelon?"

Jin Nanfeng rolled his eyes, and said bluntly: "I'm thirsty and go home and drink happily. My watermelon is not for sale."

Agnelli raised her brows and continued, "Are you sure you won't sell it? Originally, I planned to purchase this piece as a benefit to companies in China. The price is ten yuan per catty, how about it?"

Jin Nanfeng looked at Agnelli, and asked amusedly, "You have money and nowhere to spend it, right?"

But Agnelli said matter-of-factly: "Actually, I think the taste of the watermelons you grow is comparable to the black-skinned watermelons in Hokkaido, Japan. No higher price, of course, if you are willing to hype, you can raise the price by a few dollars."

Agnelli's words are very pertinent. In fact, Jin Nanfeng can't sell it at the price of ten yuan. The wholesale price of watermelon can reach three or four yuan, which is considered a sky-high price.

It is not that simple to fight a brand war. Jin Nanfeng has some plans in his mind, but the time is not ripe now, and he has too little. At least the first batch of watermelons this year will not be able to catch up.

Despite this, Jin Nanfeng still rejected Agnelli's purchase request. Agnelli frowned and asked subconsciously: "Why don't you agree? I bought your watermelons because they taste good, not because we friendship."

Jin Nanfeng said, "It's because we are friends that I don't want you to make an extra exception. In fact, I have already thought of a way to sell. If this road doesn't work, I don't mind your help."

Agnelli nodded, and could only accept this statement, and finally said: "Then can you sell me one now?"

"I'll give you one, but don't feed it to my dog. He can't eat too much sugar. Of course, you'd better not." Jin Nanfeng looked at Agnelli and said maliciously, "Actually, I I think you've gained weight these days."
