Chapter 23: Buying Bees
After listening to Wang Can's words, Li Wei pretended to be unhappy and said; "Why, what else do I have to do to come to the steamed bun shop, how can I say that I am also the major shareholder of the steamed bun shop, can't I come to see the operation of the steamed bun shop?"
Wang Can said helplessly; "Okay, you can come, but I still have to ask, why did you come here so early today, this doesn't look like your character?"
Li Wei waved his hand and said; "I really don't have anything to do, it's just that I went to bed too early yesterday and can't sleep when I wake up in the morning, so I'm just going up here for a walk."
In addition to recruiting a waiter half a month ago, another waiter was hired a few days ago. The two were recruited by a man and a woman, both young people in their twenties. The first man was introduced by Aunt Zhang, and the second woman was from Wang Can's hometown and was introduced by relatives. Now there are six people in the bun shop, and they can already be busy.
Li Wei walked around, and suddenly remembered something, he wanted to buy a box of bees, and asked Zhao Xinyu to help ask, Zhao Xinyu went out to buy every day, and he knew a lot of people, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Xinyu; "Xiao Zhao, how is the bee I asked you to ask?"
Zhao Xinyu replied; "Brother Wei, I really asked for you, bees are more expensive now, they are cheaper in autumn, and now a box of bees is about 1,000 yuan, Brother Wei, if you want to buy it, I will ask him to send it today or tomorrow."
Li Wei waved his hand and said; "It's enough to buy a box, you call him, I don't have so much cash with me now, the money will be used in the store first, and it will be deducted from the money of the vegetables when the time comes."
After staying in the bun shop for a while, Li Wei went home. After returning home, Da Fat woke up, but he didn't see Li Wei, and he was no longer in the Taoyuan space, so Da Fat screamed anxiously and was running around the house. Seeing Li Wei enter the house, the big fat came over to pester him, Li Wei held the big fat head and played with it for a while, and then sent him into the Taoyuan space.
In the past few days, Liu Jianping has to be busy running business procedures, so he didn't ask for vegetables, and Li Wei didn't pick vegetables in the morning, but only picked some vegetables in the afternoon, which was enough to sell in the night market. When he went out of the night market, Li Wei felt that he was a little too busy, and there were waves of customers, which made Li Wei a little busy. In the past, when Liu Jianping was there, he could still help him with his work, but now he is left to set up his own stall, only to find that he is really tired of setting up a stall alone, which makes Li Wei determined to wholesale all the vegetables to Liu Jianping, and he will talk to Liu Jianping tomorrow.
When he came back from the night market, Zhao Xinyu called Li Wei and said that the bees had been delivered, and asked Li Wei to go to the bun shop to pick it up. Li Wei drove directly to the bun shop, Zhao Xinyu was waiting outside with a man in his fifties, and saw Li Wei coming, Zhao Xinyu said; "Brother Wei, this is Lao Zhou, my friend's family is a beekeeper, and he specially helped to send it over, if you have any questions, just ask him, he also understands something."
Li Wei said hello to Lao Zhou, and then Lao Zhou took out the beehive from his car, and then loaded it into Li Wei's car, and told Li Wei some precautions when raising bees, left each other's phone numbers, and drove away. Li Wei didn't go into the bun shop, and drove home after saying a word to Zhao Xinyu.
On the way home, Li Wei sent the beehive into the Taoyuan space, and told the big fat in the Taoyuan space not to let it touch the beehive. After returning home, Li Wei took off his clothes and entered the Taoyuan space. The beehive was placed in an open space by Li Wei, and now there are bees coming out to collect honey. Big Fat stared curiously at the little bees that were constantly flying, and from time to time he raised his claws to catch the little bees in the air.
After having bees, Li Wei's work is a little easier. In the past, although there was a breeze in the Taoyuan space, it still needed to be pollinated manually, but now with bees, there is no need for Li Wei to do it himself.
The next day, Li Wei entered the Taoyuan space to take a look, because of this group of bees, the entire Taoyuan space seemed more vibrant. There are constantly bees flying between the flowers and hives of different colors, bringing the nectar back to the hive.
After coming out of the Taoyuan space, there was nothing to do in the morning, Li Wei drove to Liu Jianping's newly opened store, the store was being renovated, Liu Jianping was not at home, Liu Jianping's wife was watching the workers decorate, and saw Li Wei coming over and said enthusiastically; "Xiao Li, your brother Liu is not at home, so he went to apply for a business license, but he will be back soon after a while."
Li Wei shook his head and said; "It's okay, sister-in-law, I'll come over and walk around when I'm at home, see how your store is doing, sister-in-law, go get busy, I'll stay for a while and leave."
After taking a turn in the storefront, the storefront rented by Liu Jianping was only twenty or thirty square meters, but it was enough to sell vegetables and fruits. The street where this store is located is not as bustling as the street where Li Wei and his bun shop are located, there are not many shops and restaurants on the whole street, and it looks very deserted during the day. However, for Liu Jianping, it is just right here, and the cost here will definitely not be too much, Liu Jianping's business is mainly for customers who do not need to open stores in too prosperous places, so the cost will be too high.
After a while, Liu Jianping came back, saw Li Wei wandering around in front of the door, came to Li Wei and said; "Xiao Li, how do you look at this store?"
Li Wei nodded and said; "It's good, after you have a store, Brother Liu, you don't have to get up early and be busy at night, just look at the store, and send it to customers when they ask for food."
Liu Jianping was in a good mood today, and said with a smile; "I, mainly use this place as a warehouse, it can sell the best, it doesn't matter if it can't be sold, after having a store, I don't have to move vegetables upstairs and downstairs every day."
Li Wei nodded approvingly, Liu Jianping used to keep vegetables and fruits at home. Every day, twenty or thirty baskets of vegetables, plus a lot of fruits, had to be moved up from the fourth floor of his house, and then moved down when they were to be sold. Now that we have this storefront, we can put vegetables and fruits in the store, which saves a lot of effort.
Then Li Wei said; "Brother Liu, I decided not to sell vegetables in the night market anymore, I'll wholesale all the vegetables to you, right?"
"Ah, what." Liu Jianping suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, and Li Wei repeated what he had just said, and Liu Jianping was convinced that what Li Wei said was true, so he hesitated and said; "Otherwise, how about you put the food in my store and buy it on your behalf, and I'll give you the same price as in the night market?"
Li Wei listened to Liu Jianping's words and shook his head again and again; "No, then how can it be done, it is still calculated according to the wholesale price I gave you."
Seeing what Liu Jianping was going to say, Li Wei continued; "Brother Liu, if you still say such things, then I still sell them in the night market."
"Okay, brother, in that case, I won't say anything." Liu Jianping nodded heavily.
