Chapter 188: Pulling the Hook
In total, the farm only grows about a dozen acres of blueberries. Because Xiao Ping often used spiritual liquid to irrigate, Wang Dacang estimated that the yield of blueberries per mu could reach more than 1,000 kilograms, and the total output of ten acres of orchards would exceed 10 tons.
10 tons of blueberries may sound like a lot, but if they are successively put into the markets of Shencheng, provincial capital and Suzhou, it will actually be in short supply. So Xiao Ping only contacted the customers of the hotel and Ma Jie, the owner of Dahua Trading, and told them that the farm would have a batch of blueberries on the market, and if needed, they could come to the farm to pull goods. Although this is the first time that the farm has launched fruit, others do not know what the quality of the blueberries is. However, because Xiao Ping's previous reputation was so good, every customer who received the call expressed interest.
As for the price issue that everyone is concerned about, Xiao Ping also made a decision. He was absolutely confident in the quality of blueberries, so he opened a price that was twice as high as the market price, and sold for 150 yuan per catty of blueberries. 10 tons of blueberries is 20,000 catties, excluding the usual expenses or something, these blueberries can bring Xiao Ping an income of 3 million, which is also very good.
Although customers know that 150 yuan per catty of blueberries is very expensive, when they think that Xiao Ping's green vegetables will be sold for 50 yuan a catty, their psychology is balanced. Many customers have booked one or two hundred catties, and the discerning Ma Jie has booked 10,000 catties in one go. The farm's blueberries haven't been picked yet, and almost all of them have already been sold.
Xiao Ping only made a phone call for half a day, and easily solved the sales problem of blueberries, and he was naturally in a good mood. He asked Wang Cannon to organize the workers to start picking blueberries as soon as possible. So as not to catch customers off guard when they come to pick up the goods.
Although Xiao Ping seemed to have arranged everything properly, he always felt a little uneasy, as if he had forgotten something very important. He sat in the office and thought about it for a long time, and then slapped his head heavily and said, "Oops, I actually forgot about this little girl!" ”
The little girl in Xiao Ping's mouth is Zhang Jiamo, the baby granddaughter of Vice Governor Zhang Guoquan and the daughter of strong woman Zhang Yuxin. At the beginning, Xiao Ping hooked up with the little girl, and said that he would invite her to come to the farm to play when the blueberries were ripe. Xiao Ping still remembers the joy and expectation in the eyes of the little girl at that time. If Zhilu Dao broke his promise, Zhang Jiamo would definitely be very sad.
Xiao Ping didn't want to be a murderer who hurt the child's young heart, so he was secretly glad that he hadn't forgotten about it. hurriedly dialed Zhang Guoquan's house. Because he didn't want to give people the impression that he was inflammatory, Xiao Ping usually wouldn't call Zhang Guoquan's house if he had nothing to do. But this time, in order not to make the little girl sad, he could only make an exception.
The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged woman. Xiao Ping knew that this was Sister Zhang, the nanny of Zhang Guoquan's family, so he said very politely: "Hello, can you please call Zhang Jiamo to answer the phone?" ”
Sister Zhang has worked in the No. 3 building for several years, and she has received countless calls, including Zhang Guoquan and Zhang Yuxin, but it is the first time she has answered the call to Zhang Jiamo. So Sister Zhang couldn't help but hesitate for a while, and then said politely: "Okay, please wait." ”
Xiao Ping heard a rush of footsteps on the phone, and then Zhang Jiamo's milky voice: "Hello." I'm Zhang Jiamo, what's the matter with me? ”
Listening to the little girl's voice, Xiao Ping was also childlike, and said with a smile: "Mo Mo is good, guess who I am?" ”
Xiao Ping thought that this would stump Zhang Jiamo, but the little girl immediately smiled happily: "It turned out to be Uncle Xiao." As soon as I heard it, I heard it, hello Uncle Xiao! ”
I didn't expect the little girl to remember her voice so well, and he couldn't help laughing: "Mo Mo's memory is really good, my uncle called to tell you that the blueberries in the farm are ripe, if you come these days." You can eat the freshest blueberries! ”
After Xiao Ping's words, Zhang Jiamo was even happier, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Uncle Xiao, you still remember this incident, I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago!" ”
Xiao Ping smiled: "Of course, we have pulled the hook, how can we talk and not count?" ”
Zhang Jiamo suddenly sighed like a little adult: "Uncle Xiao is so good, I haven't forgotten what I promised Momo, it's not like my mother always forgets!" ”
Xiao Ping didn't want to criticize her mother in front of Zhang Jiamo, so she had to change the topic and said, "Don't forget to ask your mother to see when she is free to bring you." ”
The little girl really wanted to go to the farm to play, and couldn't wait to respond: "Well, I'll call and ask now!" ”
Xiao Ping heard the urgency in Zhang Jiamo's words, and was about to hang up the phone, when he heard Zhang Guoquan's voice from the other end: "Mo Mo, who are you talking to on the phone?" ”
Someone called Zhang Jiamo about this, of course, Sister Zhang told Zhang Guoquan. I heard that someone actually called his baby granddaughter, and Zhang Guoquan couldn't stay calm. This granddaughter is Zhang Guoquan's heart, and he will never allow anyone to hurt her, so he personally came to inquire about this matter.
"Grandpa, it's Uncle Xiao!" Zhang Jiamo said happily: "He called and said that the blueberries in the farm were ripe, and invited me to play!" ”
I heard that it was Xiao Ping who called, and Zhang Guoquan also had a smile on his face. He had a very good impression of this young man, and he especially admired Xiao Ping's ability to treat him with a normal heart after knowing his identity, which was really rare. Zhang Guoquan took the phone from his granddaughter and said with a smile: "I still think who will call Mo Mo, it turns out to be Xiao Xiao!" Why don't you come to the house lately, this little girl often talks about you. ”
"Hello Governor Zhang." Xiao Ping greeted Zhang Guoquan politely, and then carefully explained: "That...... I've been so busy lately that I really don't have time to visit you, sorry. ”
After listening to Xiao Ping's words, Zhang Guoquan couldn't help but laugh. In Zhang Guoquan's impression, the only one who dared to respond to his invitation to come to his house as a guest under the pretext of "I've been too busy recently" was Xiao Ping. However, the more Xiao Ping is like this, the more Zhang Guoquan trusts him, and he laughs on the other end of the phone: "I see that you are not too busy, but you feel uncomfortable coming to me, right?" ”
Xiao Ping, who was debunked by Zhang Guoquan, was not embarrassed, but just smiled and said: "It's good that you know the way, long live understanding, long live understanding!" ”
Zhang Guoquan also had nothing to do with Xiao Ping, who was lazy, after all, this young man was his savior, and Zhang Guoquan was embarrassed to put up a fight with Xiao Ping just for this. He quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "The rural scenery is the best in this season, I really want to go to your place with Mo Mo!" ”
"You can come if you want." Xiao Ping said indifferently: "I also have a place to live here, find a weekend to stay and relax for a night, it's all a trip." ”
Zhang Guoquan was quite moved by Xiao Ping's words, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to go to the farm. After all, an official of his level will have an impact on all aspects with his every move. Zhang Guoquan doesn't want to stir up trouble because of his whim, this is not his style of life.
The two chatted casually again, and Zhang Jiamo next to her was already waiting impatiently, urging her grandfather to hang up the phone quickly, and she still had to call her mother. Zhang Guoquan regarded this granddaughter as the pearl of his palm, so he naturally hung up the phone obediently quickly.
Not long after Xiao Ping hung up the phone, Zhang Yuxin's call came in. She didn't wait for Xiao Ping to speak, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you still serious about promising children?" ”
Xiao Ping frowned and said, "Mo Moke has always remembered this, I don't want to leave the impression that the little girl's words don't count." ”
In fact, Zhang Yu knew that Xiao Ping was right to do this, but he still couldn't help complaining: "But I'm very busy, and the company has a meeting on recruitment this weekend." ”
Xiao Ping said dissatisfiedly: "This is your problem, you go and explain it to Mo Mo yourself." But don't blame me for not reminding you, the little girl takes this very seriously. If you regret it, it will probably leave a shadow on her young mind. Children with psychological shadows will also have various problems when they grow up, such as rebellion, autism, smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, ......"
"Stop, I'm scared of you." Zhang Yuxin said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take Momo there on the weekend." But I don't know the exact location of the farm, so you'll have to pick us up! ”
Zhang Yuxin's last sentence already has a bit of coquettishness, as a strong woman, she will never say the same thing to others. However, because Xiao Ping and she have also shared hardships, neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with this. Xiao Ping thought for a while, remembered that he still had to send vegetable seeds to the Niujiao Ranch, and immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll wait for you in the Cultural Square of Su City on Saturday morning, okay?" ”
"Okay." Zhang Yuxin said dryly: "See you on time at nine o'clock in the morning." ”
"Good!" Xiao Ping answered and quickly hung up the phone.
Over the next few days, the farm's workers began to pick blueberries, and the customers began to pull the goods. As Xiao Ping expected, all the customers were full of praise after tasting the blueberries produced in the farm, and they all felt that the price of 150 per catty was indeed not expensive, and this time they bought a bargain.
It was the weekend in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Ping went out early in the morning with a large bag of seeds. The seeds are sent to Horn Ranch, and the vegetable varieties contained in them have been selected by Bill to remove the vegetable varieties that are prohibited from being imported into Australia, so that the seeds can be cleared smoothly. If the law is violated, not only will Horn Ranch have to pay a huge fine, but Bill may also go to jail, so this is not a matter of carelessness.
Xiao Ping found a UPS company with international express delivery business and completed all the procedures for consignment. Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, he immediately drove to the cultural square in the center of the city. Xiao Ping hadn't arrived at the Cultural Square yet, but Zhang Yuxin had already called him.
