Chapter 31 Cultivating the Vegetable Garden
After signing the contract and leaving the advance payment and address, Xu Dong and his mother left the flower and fertilizer shop and continued to rush to buy.
The trucks followed the main road all the way south.
The road was full of people rushing to buy, and the two did not encounter any good opportunities, and some of them were all bits and pieces, which were not attractive at all.
Until the sun went down and the mother and son were about to turn back, they were lucky enough to come across another product that was quite satisfactory.
This time the product is an electric fan, an electric fan from a warehouse, the quality is no problem, and the brand belongs to a well-known manufacturer.
"Boss, you can bid, I'll cover it all if the price is right."
Xu Dong really wants to win this batch of goods, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the sales of electric fans in the future, or that sentence, if you buy it, you will earn it, and it will be a big profit.
Boss Wang was a little hesitant, he used to be in the e-commerce business, and last year he opened an offline physical store in the home appliance city, focusing on small household appliances, and the business was not bad.
It's just that I don't know why, the electric fan has been unsalable, and it has only improved a little recently, so there is a lot of inventory in the warehouse.
I didn't expect to suddenly encounter a rush to buy, if it weren't for the fact that the warehouse was too biased, this batch of goods should have been sold in the afternoon.
He didn't want to miss the opportunity to clear his inventory, but he was afraid that it would be cheaper.
However, at present, the market is unpredictable, and it is possible to intervene in the rush to buy at any time.
So he came up with a "decent" price: "I have a total of more than 5,208 electric fans, and I won't say the unit price, I will take all 1.8 million." ”
Xu Dong had already accepted the price in his heart, but he still put on a bargaining posture, lest Boss Wang feel that it was cheap and wanted to regret it.
After some tugging, Boss Wang became a little impatient, and shouted by his neck:
"It's a big deal early tomorrow morning, I will pull the goods directly to the home appliance city to sell, although the transport truck is not easy to find, but I pay ten times the freight, I don't believe that no one takes the order."
Xu Dong felt that it was almost over, so he said "reluctantly": "Okay, Boss Wang, you won, 1.8 million, as long as you sign the contract, I will transfer it to you immediately." ”
"That's just like the words, eat my batch of electric fans, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Boss Wang finally showed a happy smile, although this order is not a huge profit, but it has also earned almost 800,000 yuan, which is a lot.
People can't be too greedy, this is his experience in business for many years.
After the transaction was completed, Boss Wang directly handed over the warehouse key to Xu Dong, anyway, he couldn't do business in the near future, and there was no goods in the warehouse, so there was nothing to lose.
Xu Dong couldn't find a transport vehicle here, so he had to go down in person, and it took three days and more than 20 trips back and forth to transport all the electric fans back to the courtyard.
Since the basement was already full, and the yard was about to be renovated, it could only be stored in the house, occupying a full four spare rooms.
When Xu Dong handed back the warehouse key to Boss Wang again, the other party's face was very stinky, and there was no sign of official intervention, and the rush to buy intensified.
Boss Wang really looked away this time.
At this point, the old Xu family's rush to buy was officially over, and the whole family was tired enough, and even Xu's mother didn't want to toss anymore.
But the matter is not over yet, the next thing is to hurry up and repair the vegetable garden, tomorrow the planting soil will arrive, there is no delay.
According to the plan discussed by Xu Dong and Xu Ma, they were going to dig a rectangular soil pit 12 meters long, 8 meters wide and 1 meter deep in the yard.
One meter deep is already the limit, and if you dig a dozen centimeters down, you will find the concrete roof of the basement.
Dig the pit, then fill the pit with planting soil, and finally build a calf-high fence with green bricks, and you're done!
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the area of the vegetable garden is not large, but the amount of work is not small, about 100 cubic meters of earth and stone will be excavated, and the same 100 cubic meters of planting soil will be filled in the follow-up.
If Xu Dong only relied on himself, it is estimated that he would not be able to finish it in two or three months.
Therefore, he had to find "foreign help", and finally outsourced to a small contractor at a nearby construction site, who was also responsible for handling the excavated earth and rock.
Xu Dong was generous, and the contractor worked happily, with more than a dozen workers, plus the assistance of a small excavator, the soil pit was dug in one night.
The next night, the owner of the flower fertilizer shop arrived as scheduled, and also brought two muck trucks, and the planting soil was packed in woven bags and piled high in the wagons.
"Boss Zhou, how much soil can you transport in this car?" Xu Dong looked at the muck truck and asked.
The owner of the flower fertilizer shop compared the numbers with his right hand: "A car is almost 7 and a half tons." ”
Then he analyzed: "Two trucks are 15 tons, and I can run about 4 times in one night, and I can transport them all tomorrow night." ”
"That's good!"
Xu Dong doesn't want to waste too much time in the vegetable garden, there are still many things to do!
Next, the contractor once again led the workers to the battle, unloading, moving, landfilling, one-stop service.
After another day, the vegetable garden was completely completed, and Xu Dong gave the workers an additional bonus of more than 10,000 yuan, and each worker could get a thousand yuan.
In his previous life, he was one of them and knew the hardships of the construction site.
……
When she got up early in the morning, Mama Xu looked at the vegetable garden that had been repaired, and she was really satisfied, exactly as she imagined.
During breakfast, the family couldn't help but talk about the vegetable garden, Xu Ma and Yang Lina are both people who have never planted the land, and they don't know what to plant.
Xu Dong worked in a planting factory for a period of time in his previous life, and he was the most experienced person in the family, so he directly suggested:
"In this climate, it's best to grow some hardy vegetables, such as radish, lettuce, bok choy and celery, and tomatoes can also be planted as both vegetables and fruits."
"Husband, where did you learn this?" Yang Lina was surprised.
"I read it in a book."
Xu Dong took a sip of soy milk and continued:
"I just have a few books on greenhouse planting on hand, and I'll give them to you when I go back, you and your mother have time to think about it, it's very simple, just plant a few times."
Yang Lina nodded, she prefers to stay at home than to go out for a walk, take care of the baby every day, and take care of the vegetable garden, there is no more comfortable life than this.
Xu's mother does not have such enthusiasm, although she is also willing to grow vegetables, but she is more afraid that the children will not be able to eat vegetables, at most it is an interest, not even a hobby.
She herself prefers to go outside for square dancing, and then find an opportunity to show off the triplets, the courtyard at home, and the filial piety of her son and daughter-in-law......
Dad Xu coughed suddenly, and then said to Mother Xu: "I have also swiped a lot of videos of growing vegetables on my mobile phone, and I will send you the video link later." ”
"Forget it, it's enough for Nana to learn, I might as well dance two more square dances when I have this time!"
Xu Ma waved her hand, looking extremely impatient.
