1261.Opening (2/5)
Probably because of the novelty, the newly opened farmer's market is very lively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it was time for business to open, Wang Bo walked all the way to observe and found that the stalls were roughly divided into three categories.
The most are fresh home-grown agricultural products, all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, etc., especially organic vegetables and fruits, which are more common in the stalls.
This is normal, and now consumers who buy agricultural products in New Zealand need to know not only the origin, but also the cultivation method, whether pesticides have been used, how and when they are harvested, how to store them, and so on.
Organic vegetables and fruits are more expensive, more profitable, and more popular with consumers.
The second is food, home-baked bread, farm-made cheese and concocted spices, beef and mutton and sausages just produced in the pasture, as well as private jams and preserved fruits, canned food, honey and other foods, there are a lot of them.
There are also artisanal chocolates, boutique wines, home-brewed beers, etc., which are also sold at many stalls, and Wang Bo saw Atulu buying beer and pulled it back in a pickup truck.
There are relatively few handicraft stalls, Wang Bo saw mainly some handmade cleaning, wooden furniture, sweaters and hats, hand-dyed fabrics, etc., and others are rare.
At the end of the stall there is an artist gathering place, where some painters and sculptors set up their stalls, and all kinds of oil paintings, drawings and watercolors are displayed here for sale.
The Serbian Grand Handayan also came to the bazaar, bringing his youngest son, Milorad, to the market with handmade wood carvings and delicate small furniture on a wire bed in front of him, apparently to make extra money.
Wang Bo greeted him and said to the young man, "Hey, boy, why did your father catch you as a strong man?" Tell him that child labour is illegal in New Zealand. ”
Milorad smiled shyly: "I'm here to help, not his worker, but he also has to pay me, and I want to save money." ”
"What are you saving money for? Marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Milorad shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to go to middle school in the United States in the future, and I have to save up for tuition." ”
The NBA is the temple of world basketball, and the United States has the best basketball education in the world, and it is the right choice for him to choose to go to school in the United States, but the tuition and living expenses are really expensive, and it is estimated that it is difficult for Dayan to earn so much money by only carpentry.
Wang Bo looked at the young man, looked at it and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to have grown taller again?" ”
Milorad grinned, "Well, I've grown four centimeters taller, but I'm much stronger, Mayor Mare, did you notice that my muscles are better?" ”
Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, it's really a lot stronger, to be honest, I even thought you were an adult strong man." ”
"When I came to Sunset, I gained 15 kilograms, my fat factor dropped a little bit, and now I'm invincible on the basketball court," says Milorad. ”
Compared with his previous life, now he is in the sky, and he can eat good beef and mutton to his heart's content in Sunset Town, Wang Bo arranged for Kun Cha to develop a special fitness course for him in the gym.
Therefore, it is normal for a teenager to grow muscles, he is indeed very athletic, Wang Bo hopes that he can take the path of professional basketball in the future.
Hearing that he chose to go to the United States to study in middle school, Wang Bo pulled Dayan aside and asked, "If he goes to the United States, your family will have to accompany him, right?" That's going to cost a lot of money. ”
Dayan shook his head and said, "When the time comes, his mother will accompany him, and it will be difficult for our family to afford such expenses, but with the farmer's market, I want to improve our family's economic situation." ”
Wang Bo habitually wanted to pat him on the shoulder to encourage him, but the other party was too tall, so it was very awkward to do so, so he could only withdraw his hand stupidly.
He said: "Go with confidence, the town will give financial support, you just need to save up for living expenses, and the rest will be handed over to the town when the time comes." ”
Dayan was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh my God, really? ”
Then he reacted and quickly added, "How can this work?" Mayor Mayor, this is not good, now that he has eaten the meat of the town for free, the town has helped us a lot. ”
Wang Bo motioned for him to squat down, and then finally patted Dayan on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone: "Man, it is my duty as the mayor of the town to care for the good development of every child." ”
Dayan was so made by him that he couldn't laugh or was not sure if he was joking or serious.
Wang Bo gave him a reassurance when he left: "I will ask Oakley to contact him with a famous basketball school in the United States, and see how to send Milorad over when the time comes, you can rest assured, there is Sunset Town." ”
He's serious about his commitments, and the reason for doing so is to increase the sense of belonging of the townspeople, and secondly, to invest in the fact that if Milorad can become an NBA star, it will bring even greater returns to Sunset Town.
With Oakley, Hill and Sunset Orchestra in front of their role models, Wang Bo is increasingly happy to see the town have a star scene.
As in the rest of New Zealand's farmers' markets, everything is clearly priced, with items selected, packed in eco-friendly paper bags and weighed by stall owners.
One of the benefits of shopping here is that you value credibility and commitment, so you don't have to worry about buying a low-quality product that doesn't live up to its name, and you don't have to wonder if the stall owner's scales are boring.
Compared to supermarket shopping, the information is more transparent, and customers can ask for details of the goods.
In addition, there are stall owners as consultants, which is also incomparable to supermarket shopping, customers will say their own uses before buying vegetables and fruits, whether they are used for stir-frying vegetables or raw, used to make jam or mixed salads, according to different uses, stall owners give purchase suggestions.
Some time ago, there was a misunderstanding in the supermarket that daffodils were bought by customers when garlic sprouts, and this kind of thing will definitely not happen in agricultural and sideline supermarkets.
In this way, the vegetable and fruit business of the department store and supermarket will inevitably be affected, Wang Bo does not care, if the farmer's market can be successfully held, it will bring greater help to the town.
Now the passenger flow and market size are still small, so it cannot be opened continuously, Wang Bo's initial plan is to open the market every Monday and Friday, two days a week.
After getting the farmer's market out of hand, he began to work with the town of Tahiti.
In late June, looking for a sunny day, he drove to Tahiti Town with Uncle Bing, Haney, Charlie and others.
Autumn in New Zealand has a kind of empty beauty, the farms on both sides of the road have finished harvesting, the sky is blue, the air is spotless, and the car window looks out of the car to see the plains as far as the eye can see.
When Highway 8 enters Tahiti Town, it becomes dilapidated, with a lot of gravel and dust on the road, and in some places it is like a dirt road.
