Chapter 143: Business
Money?
Senior sister actually asked for money from an ant?
Xiao Ran shook his head, a little helpless.
Although the senior sister is smart, her wealthy living conditions since she was a child make her never have to worry about money.
After talking to his senior sister on the phone, Xiao Ran looked at the neat salt and pepper locusts on the sea buckthorn wasteland, and he thought of a good idea. The fried locusts were all strung together with bamboo skewers and planted in the ground, because there was not a single leaf in the sea buckthorn wasteland.
Xiao Ran turned on his mobile phone and registered an online store with the information of the third grandfather.
Fortunately, some of the third grandfather's documents are still at home. In this way, not only can you start a business, but the Investigation Bureau will not know that the store is opened by itself.
After the online store was opened, Xiao Ran posted a photo of the salt and pepper locust.
Strings of golden locusts appear even more golden in the sun.
By the way, I also need to add some accompanying text. So, Xiao Ran wrote on his mobile phone:
When a locust plague hit a remote mountainous area, the old farmers had no harvest and had to sell some fried locusts to make ends meet.
At the place of the picture, Xiao Ran passed a few more photos of the third grandfather when he was working, so that at first glance, it looks like it. After the processing was completed, Xiao Ran looked at the sky, and by the way, there was still honey from the hive cluster to use.
Now is the time when food is in short supply, honey is naturally the food that the hive can survive in, but Xiao Ran knows that with the quality of this wild honey, it can naturally be sold at a very good price in the human world, and at the same price, you can buy 30 times the sugar and feed back the beekeepers of the hive.
Xiao Ran passed the honey as well, and the recipe said:
When a huge locust plague hit a remote mountainous area, the old farmer sold his treasured 82-year-old wild honey with tears to feed his family.
Similarly, this honey was also photographed, but because the toon tree was so tall, Xiao Ran only passed on a photo of the toon tree looking up from the bottom.
Next, it is to wait for the human to place an order, and then express it out.
On the first day, there was no news.
The next day, there was still no list.
On the third day, there was still none.
The difficulty of starting an online store is beyond Xiao Ran's imagination, and it seems that those pictures have not won people's sympathy. By the way, once you have an online store, you should do a few things.
Without swiping, there will be no sales. Naturally, swiping orders was the first step that Xiao Ran thought of, he contacted his senior sister, found a professional swiping team, and swiped a total of 300 orders for 500 yuan.
Then, he went to major forums to comment on the rhythm, mainly rubbing the heat of various news. In the next few days, brushing comments has become Xiaoran's daily routine.
Seeing a happy piece of entertainment news, he commented: The remote southwest mountainous areas are plagued by locusts, do you still have the heart to watch the daily life of these dramas?
Or:
The remote southwest mountainous areas are plagued with locusts, and you actually care about whether others do their hair or not?
......
When encountering a sad and gloomy incident, he commented:
Alas, it's hard, these days. The locusts in the southwest have also become plagued, so let's encourage them.
......
Gradually, some of the comments were put on the top, and arguments began. Some people are concerned about the locust plague, and some people see through Xiao Ran's tricks. When a comment asked Xiao Ran when he found out, Xiao Ran sent the pictures on the online store.
As a result, the online store began to have its first order.
Xiao Ran deeply remembered that the first list was a customer in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the customer also left a message: You guys work hard, I'm just a student now, I can only afford to buy a bunch of locusts for 20 yuan, and a jar of honey for 200 yuan.
Xiao Ran looked at this comment and felt a little uneasy in his heart. I didn't expect that to sell something, you still need to use this kind of trick.
With this first order, Xiao Ran found a way to send the locusts out.
But the old house does not have a packaging machine, only a roll of plastic wrap from 20 years ago, Xiao Ran wrapped a string of locusts with plastic wrap, in addition, he also put a cup of honey in a glass with plastic wrap bees, and put it together.
Sending a courier is a troublesome matter, when Xiao Ran instructed the ants to put a string of locusts and honey in front of the threshold of the land of death, all the ants and Shi brothers were at a loss, completely unaware of what this was for.
Then, Xiaoran called a door-to-door pickup service: 4-3, Qingyuan Village, Anguang District, Anping City, and sent the mail at the threshold.
Because the place is relatively remote, the courier brother who came to pick up the parcel came to this place the next day, he looked at the honey and locust strings in front of the threshold, and then looked at the rusty lock in front of the door, and the old house that has not been inhabited for more than ten years, after taking it, quickly ran away.
This is still the courier brother who came last time.,Perhaps,Last time he sent the mail,He was already stunned.,This time,I saw the threshold again.,I'm afraid it's a supernatural event.。
After the courier brother left, Xiao Ran explained everything to the ants.
"Now, if we want to get by, we can only rely on the power of trolls. Xiao Ran said to the ants.
"The power of trolls?" the ants couldn't believe it, "but trolls are our formidable enemies! Legend has it that in the Land of the Dead, once trolls used fire magic and ice magic to kill many of our compatriots!"
"Yes, yes, trolls are really our strong enemies! Didn't we train how to fight trolls before the cataclysm? Wouldn't it be too dangerous to trade with trolls?"
"Yes, yes......"
Xiao Ran waved his tentacles and motioned for everyone to stop arguing, and he said, "Now, this is the only way I can think of. By the way, wizard, what do you think?"
Ran once told the wizard that he was once a member of the trolls, but the wizard never revealed Ran's identity.
The wizard said, "Ahem...... Trolls were our enemies of the ant clan and will probably be, but now, there is no other way than the Prime Minister's approach. The world we can see has been destroyed by locusts, and it is impossible for our world to recover without March or May. ”
"But can the trolls believe it?" asked Peppercorn.
"Ahem...... Is there any other way to keep the ant people and bee people alive?" the wizard asked rhetorically.
The ants fell silent, acquiescing to the wizard's words.
......
Next, the business of the online store slowly improved.
After more than half a month, more than 700 skewers of roasted locusts and 20 bottles of honey were successfully sold with the help of well-wishers. Of these well-wishers, few of them actually eat locust skewers, some feed the family dogs, and some feed the cats.
Only a few of those people actually ate the locusts, and there were also reviews in the evaluation section of the online store. Most of them are bloggers who shoot videos, locusts, and for them, it is a challenge.
Xiao Ran turned on his phone, searched for this kind of video, and soon found one of the buyers who bought the locust.
"Look, look, this is a new locust this year. Foodies! Foodies! The protein content of locusts is higher than that of pork! Today, let's taste the new locusts produced this year; I heard that the locusts have become a plague, foodies! Foodies! Have you heard? In the past, when oysters were overflowing abroad, you went abroad to help people eat oysters, but now, the locusts in our remote mountainous areas in the southwest are overflowing, and you must help eat oysters! Okay, don't talk about it, I'll eat it first as respect!
