After some investigation, Yu Mingyue decided to temporarily open a fruit store specializing in all kinds of fruits and nuts, and a store similar to a small supermarket, specializing in some grains, oils and non-staple foods.

The reason why I said for the time being is because Yu Mingyue is still planning to open a wholesale store for fruits and mountain goods in the near future.

After living for two lifetimes, Yu Mingyue is too clear about the overall situation of Kapok City, although the transportation is not developed in these years, and there are not many fruit varieties on the market, but the climate in this place is warm, and there are different kinds of fruits on the market all year round.

From spring, fresh bananas and papayas ripen, and after the cherries ripen in March, the apricots begin to turn from green to yellow and sweet. When the weather is very hot in April, with the watermelon and melon on the market, peaches, plums, and lychees also begin to ripen and go on the market, and after May, a large number of fruits such as mangoes, pears, dates, longan, flower reds, and apples also begin to ripen, and in June and July, in addition to the late-ripening peaches begin to go on the market, fruits such as pears and apples also ripen in large quantities; After July, the chestnuts unique to the mountains also begin to ripen at this time, and the wild cone chestnut fruits on the mountains can also be picked, even if it is the tenth winter wax moon, in addition to the persimmon red branches, those late-ripening winter peaches in the alpine areas can also be eaten.

In short, in Kapok City, fresh fruits ripen all year round, but because transportation is not developed now, most of the fruits produced in remote areas in the mountains do not have the opportunity to appear in the market in the city, but fall and rot under the trees.

Therefore, in this era, there were no fruit farmers who professionally planted fruit trees, whether it was a dam area with a relatively flat altitude like Yu Mingyue's house, which was suitable for planting vegetables and rice, or a mountainous area with a cold climate and inconvenient transportation, which was only suitable for planting corn and potatoes.

Farmers in mountainous areas who produce the most fruits will not have much joy even in a fruitful harvest year, because they know that the fruits that are full of branches will not give much money back to their families, except that they can eat them vigorously for a season, and invite relatives and friends who do not have fruit trees to come and eat more in the same way as they should give away favors.

Yu Mingyue's aunt Yu Zhifen's family lives in the mountains, and every year when cherries, peaches, plums, pears, and chestnuts are ripe in different seasons, Yu Zhifen will take a day to carry dozens of catties of ripe fruits at that time, or hundreds of catties, and walk more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads to send them to Yu Mingyue's family and Yu Tianxiang's home.

Every time she eats those fruits, Yu Mingyue will think of Yu Zhifen's tired but satisfied smile, Yu Mingyue is not only moved, but also thinks of business opportunities.

In the previous life, because the fruits in the mountains were inconvenient to be transported out of the mountains in large quantities after they were ripe, and there was no big market when they were transported out of the mountains to the market, the price of fruits became very cheap over time, and sometimes the people in the mountains carried the fruits on their backs and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads to the township market, but they could only sell one penny and two cents and one catty, which was cheaper than Chinese cabbage.

The countryside is too poor, how long does it take to eat meat, and they don't have much spending power to buy fruits to eat, but the people in the cities have a great demand for fruits every year, and the price of fruits in the market in the cities is not low, which seems to be in short supply.

Later, with the government's policy of "to get rich, build roads first", dirt roads that can pass four-wheeled cars were slowly built around the mountainous areas, and some people with bright brains began to go to the areas around the mountains to buy fruits at designated points, and then transport them to the city wholesale to those small fruit sellers who set up stalls and carry burdens.

Although these people set the price very low when they bought it, for the mountain farmers who have watched the fruits on the side of their mountains fall and rot on the ground for many years, as long as someone buys it, it is great news, so those fruit purchase points can receive a large number of fruits every day.

Therefore, a group of people who first went to the mountains to buy fruits and engage in fruit wholesale business made a lot of money.

These are the things that Yu Mingyue heard from Yu Zhifen who sent fruits in her previous life, although she has not experienced it lightly, but her family has been reselling vegetables for so long, she just thinks about it with one finger, and she can also think that the purchase price is low, and the amount purchased every day is large, and the price when it is transported to the city to sell has doubled several times, and the profit can only be called a burst of profits.

Therefore, after the emergence of some people who became outbreaks by purchasing wholesale fruits, in a few years, more and more people went to the surrounding areas of the mountains to buy fruits, and at that time, the mountain villages were basically open to roads, and some buyers and sellers even drove three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles into the villages to pay a deposit in advance and order the fruits of the year.

Sometimes, in order to buy more fruit, those who buy fruit will even quietly raise the purchase price of the villagers, and when the competition is more fierce, they will also fight fiercely.

Even if the fruit is so easy to sell, Yu Zhifen still likes to find a weekend when her family's fruit is ripe, Yu Mingyue has a day off, walks a mountain road with the fruit on her back, and then takes a car and sends it to Kong Mingfu's house for Yu Mingyue to eat.

It was also at that time that Yu Mingyue heard a lot of interesting stories from Yu Zhifen when the fruit seller harvested the fruit. To this day, Yu Mingyue still remembers the satisfied and happy smile on Yu Zhifen's face every time she talked about which dealer came to her house early and begged her to accept the deposit for the fruits of the year.

Since the idea of preparing to expand the business, Yu Mingyue's first thought was to do a one-stop fruit business of buying and wholesaling. But she had never been in contact with the fruit business in her previous life, and it was really inconvenient to buy a large number of fruits in the mountains now, so she wanted to open a fruit shop first.

Yu Mingyue's vegetable shop is at the T-junction not far from the gate of the hospital, and walks straight down the road in front of the vegetable shop for more than ten meters to the gate of the hospital.

And along the right side of the vegetable shop a newly paved small road into more than 30 meters, and then turn right and go forward forty or fifty meters, it is the Changshou Road community wall newly opened community gate.

Yu Mingyue's 25 shops were built along the inner side of these two roads, so Yu Mingyue's family is now selling vegetables, and the location is very good, and the location of the two shops on the left and right is also very conspicuous.

I saw that many people who visit the hospital every day will buy some fruits and carry them to visit the patients when they pass by the two small fruit stalls set up in the open air in the hospital gate.

Yu Mingyue and the two vendors who set up stalls to sell fruits every day are also acquaintances, and she often hears the two hawkers complain, saying that some people don't buy fruits, and they also dislike the single variety of fruits, which are not fresh and not good-looking.

Although Yu Mingyue didn't care too much about it at the time, after a period of investigation, Yu Mingyue planned to open a fruit store that took the mid-to-high-end route, in addition to selling some high-quality fruits, but also making some beautifully packaged fruit baskets to sell.

Although she had never done business in her previous life, she had more than 20 years of knowledge than the current people.

In this Mugang hospital, only the employees and their families of the Mugang Group are treated, and it is inevitable that people will get sick, so there are some patients in this hospital, in addition to many ordinary income workers, there are also cadres and leaders in the Mugang Group Company.

In these years, the income of ordinary workers is not high, and they are not very particular about the quality of consumer goods, but those who visit cadres and leaders in the hospital, regardless of their own economic foundation or consumption habits on weekdays, will raise their grades when buying gifts for visiting patients.

Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing said that they wanted to open a fruit shop, and Yu Zhiqing still disagreed, but when Yu Mingyue told Yu Zhiqing about this theory, Yu Zhiqing thought about it for a while, and praised Yu Mingyue for her smart brain, so she responded in one bite.

"Okay, anyway, this fruit shop is also open next to the vegetable store, and there is no need to add more manpower, just our father and daughter can see it. As for the small supermarket that sells grain, oil and non-staple food, I think it's okay for the time being, on the one hand, our family has no channels to purchase, and on the other hand, even if it opens, our family doesn't have so many people to watch.

Besides, our family doesn't have much food left over every year, except for eating it ourselves. If the rest of the rice is really to be sold, it will be placed at the vegetable shop like rabbits and eggs, and the people who buy vegetables in the morning will buy more or less when they see it. ”

Yu Zhiqing obviously has no interest in opening a supermarket, in his opinion, the supermarket in Yu Mingyue's mouth that he has never heard of, the main purpose is at most to facilitate the seller's annual surplus grain, as for other small things such as salt, oil, sauce and vinegar, Yu Zhiqing feels that it is troublesome to purchase, and he does not feel that he can make any money.

When Yu Mingyue heard Yu Zhiqing talk about manpower, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't want to give Yu Zhiqing the advantages of popularizing supermarkets.

Yes, her family doesn't seem to lack anything now, but what is most lacking is manpower. Fortunately for now, she can help watch the stall every day, but when school starts on September 1, she has to be a first-grade elementary school student, and she is also the oldest elementary school student in the world~

After the mischievous belly slander, Yu Mingyue didn't plan to mention the matter of opening the supermarket again, thought about it, and said to Yu Zhiqing: "Well, the small supermarket will not be open for the time being, and when we open the fruit store, I will be responsible for watching the fruit store every day, and when I go to school in September, grandma's leg injury is almost healed, so let grandma come here to see the store, just weigh and collect money, it can also make her easier." ”

The work of watching the store, compared with the work or housework in the field, is indeed much easier, Kong Mingying is idle, as long as the injury on her leg is better and she can move, she will definitely look for work in the field and at home regardless of it. Considering this situation, Yu Mingyue said this.

When Yu Mingyue mentioned going to school in September, Yu Zhiqing was slightly stunned, Yu Mingyue followed him into the city every day to sell vegetables, and when he talked about manpower just now, he didn't think that his daughter was going to be a primary school student.

Yu Zhiqing chuckled and pulled Yu Mingyue in front of him, looked Yu Mingyue up and down and said with a smile: "Hehe, Dad almost forgot that our Xiaoyue is about to become a primary school student." "With a look on my face, my family has the satisfaction and joy of a woman growing up.

After looking at Yu Mingyue with a sense of accomplishment, he nodded and said: "Xiaoyue, your idea just now is good, a while ago, your grandfather was worried that no one would see these shops in our house at night, and he was going to wait for your grandma to be discharged from the hospital, and they would move here to live, and then let your grandfather and your grandmother stay in the city every day to watch the store, and the two of them can be a little more relaxed." "Yu Zhiqing has always been a filial person, watching the two old people get older day by day, and he doesn't want the two old people to work too hard.

"Oh, my grandfather said he wanted to live here?" Yu Mingyue hadn't heard of this, so it was very unexpected.

Seeing Yu Zhiqing nodded, Yu Mingyue thought about it and said with some concern: "Although it is more reassuring to have someone living here at night, guarding the shop or something, but these shops in our house and the four houses in the west where people live as warehouses are not connected to water and electricity, my grandfather and they live here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?" ”

Yu Mingyue knows that now she has rented several shops from her family to open several stores, and she will leave someone to stay in the store at night to watch the store, but it is very inconvenient because there is no water or electricity.

When these shops were built, it was not that they did not consider connecting water and electricity, but her house was built on illegal land, although no one took care of it for the time being, but if Yu Mingyue's family took the money to find the two departments in charge of water and electricity, and asked for water and electricity, even if people couldn't find a place to report her home, they would not agree to give her a water pipe and connect wires.

Yu Zhiqing was not worried, and chuckled: "Before your grandmother was hospitalized, your grandfather talked about it, and the old man Mei who lived in the community at that time promised that if your grandfather really wants to live here and be a neighbor with his family, let your grandfather just go to his house to pick up water every day."

As for electricity, the west end of our house is close to your grandfather Mei's house, and you can discuss it with him again when the time comes, connect the electricity from his house, and pay some electricity bills to his house every month. ”

Yu Zhiqing said that the old man Mei, Yu Mingyue is also very familiar, that is, now renting Yu Mingyue's shop to sell cold braised vegetables, the old man Mei and Mrs. Liu are both cheerful and enthusiastic people, when her family built a shed at the entrance of the community, Old Man Mei and Mrs. Liu helped a lot, for which her grandfather also gave Old Man Mei's family a pheasant, since then, her grandfather has been very close to Old Man Mei, and he has become friends.

Hearing Yu Zhiqing say it in such detail, Yu Mingyue was no longer worried, and felt that these methods were very feasible.

With water and electricity, the four rooms in the west are ready-made, so leave a room as a kitchen, buy a honeycomb coal stove and come back, and be careful when using it and pay attention to fire prevention. And earlier, in order to make it easier to go to the toilet, her grandfather took her father and two uncles to dig a simple pit in the large courtyard surrounded by shops.

Yu Mingyue said with some regret: "If we can also set up a water pipe to come back, we can plant some trees in the big yard, raise some chickens and ducks here, when someone wants to sell, we can catch and sell at any time, even if someone asks for help to slaughter and clean up, it will be much more convenient." ”

At that time, more than 1,000 square meters of wasteland, after the construction of 29 houses, there was a large yard of nearly 200 square meters left in the middle, just because there was no water, after the shop was repaired, Yu Mingyue could not plant fruit trees or anything according to the original idea, only ready to wait for the rainy season in June today, and then plant some fruit tree seedlings that can be found.

Hearing Yu Mingyue say this, Yu Zhiqing also agreed, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Well, this is a good idea, when I go back today, I will discuss it with your grandfather, he is familiar with Uncle Mei, can you quietly take a water pipe from Uncle Mei's house when you see it, and solve the problem of using water." ”

In these years, the water and electricity in the city are managed by relevant departments, and they cannot be connected privately, so when Yu Zhiqing said that he wanted to quietly connect the water pipes, Yu Mingyue, who had heard of this kind of thing in his previous life, did not feel strange.

After saying this, the father and daughter began to discuss the preparations for opening a fruit shop.

In this year, the fruits sold in the market, except for apples and pears that can be preserved for a longer period of time, are not limited by the season, and the other fruits that appear in the market are all seasonal fruits. But even so, apples and pears can only be stored until February and March of the following year, and the prices are frighteningly high, and after February and March, it is rare to see these two fruits on the market, which have always been recognized by everyone.

It's June now, pears, peaches, apples, and flower reds are also on the market, but the apples here are not the common red Fuji in the future, the face is green and red, Yu Mingyue doesn't know the specific scientific name, and everyone is only divided into apples called green apples and red apples by color. Green apples are definitely not green snake fruits with a sweet and crunchy taste, but they are crunchy when you bite into them, but the taste is sweet and sour, and the taste is sweeter after a long time, but it becomes rustling. Although the red apples are different in color, they are the same in nature, and after picking them and leaving them for ten and a half days, they become rustling like eating boiled potatoes, and they cannot compare with the sweetness and crunch of red Fuji.

When she made the idea of opening a fruit store, Yu Mingyue still felt that the fruits that could be sold in this place were not old or young, but when she really discussed the details of the purchase after opening the store with Yu Zhiqing, Yu Mingyue felt that opening a boutique fruit store only sold these kinds of fruits was too shabby to be on the table.

After a headache, Yu Mingyue's eyes lit up, and after a period of discussion, the fruit store not only sells fruits and dried fruits, but also sells all kinds of canned food, candies, biscuits, lotus root powder, sesame paste and other beautifully packaged nutritional products.

This fruit shop that takes the mid-to-high-end route was originally opened for others to buy gifts when they visit the hospital or visit relatives and friends, so to put it bluntly, it is a gift shop. On the one hand, the addition of these things solves the problem of a small variety of goods in the store, and on the other hand, it should also be more popular with customers who buy gifts, because these goods can basically allow customers who want to give gifts to buy all in one stop.

It's just that Yu Mingyue in her previous life didn't know the purchase channels of non-staple foods in this era, so after following Yu Zhiqing to the hospital as usual in the afternoon to see Kong Mingying, Yu Mingyue took Yu Zhiqing to the local product purchase station in Renyi District.

The local product acquisition station, although it is only responsible for the purchase of various local agricultural and sideline products, but it belongs to the same department as the procurement of Renyi District, Yu Mingyue is now familiar with more than a dozen people in the local product acquisition station, and there is no need to ask Director Wu Feng Wu in the acquisition station, the three women in charge of the financial and accounting cashier in the acquisition station, after listening to Yu Danyue's intentions, they will tell Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing clearly about the place of non-staple food purchase, the name of the organizer, etc.

The three women heard that Yu Mingyue's family was now going to open a store in the city, and they were very happy for Yu Mingyue's family, although they had never seen Yu Zhiqing and they were not familiar with it, but they still said a lot of congratulations to Yu Zhiqing about prosperous business and rolling money.

At the beginning of Yu Zhiqing, he really smiled proudly and thanked him one by one, and when he got to the back, he listened to the other person's left sentence to congratulate Boss Yu on getting bigger and bigger, and another sentence, congratulations to Boss Yu for his wealth and prosperity, Yu Zhiqing's face began to redden, and he didn't dare to stay at the acquisition station anymore to listen to everyone's Boss Yu's call, and quickly thanked the three women who helped, and then fled with Yu Mingyue and went out of the acquisition station.

As a result, Yu Mingyue's father and daughter walked out of the acquisition station, and Wu Feng, the director of the acquisition station, chased them out again.

"Xiaoyue, this year's cone chestnut fruit is about to come down, you have to be more careful, give me more money. And those peanuts and eggs, don't stop collecting them, you haven't been here for a long time. ”

Hearing Wu Feng standing by the door of the acquisition station with his tongue wide and shouting, Yu Mingyue's heart instantly tightened. Afraid that Wu Fengyi would be happy, she told her about selling thousands of catties of cone chestnuts last year, and basically selling thousands of eggs every month, Yu Mingyue had to quickly agree, and then pulled Yu Zhiqing away quickly.

The thousands of catties of cone chestnuts sold to the acquisition station last year were all obtained by her using the space, and she told Kong Xinggang and Yu Mingyan at that time that she would keep it a secret from the adults in the family, because she knew very well that she could not fool the adults in the family when she fooled Kong Minggang and Yu Mingyan.

After the eggs in the space were stored to more than 1,000, she also used the space to bring them to the city, and then transferred them to the rented hut, and then found a tricycle to help deliver them to the purchase station.

In the eyes of her family, every time she went into the city alone to sell eggs, she only carried a basket of dozens of eggs, if Wu Feng said the number and let Yu Zhiqing hear it, she would be finished. R1152
