Chapter 20: Rented a yard
I have a big house of my own space. After sending off the sales lady, I began to plan how to set up a stall in the yard.
Tell the vendor the location and ask them to come here to pick up the goods instead of me delivering them. Of course, I also set a time for me to prepare the fish and cucumbers in advance, so that they would not be embarrassed if they came in advance and did not have the goods.
Another thing I have to pay attention to, I am still working on the construction site, I have to go to the construction site, I have to sleep in the tin house, eat the food cooked by Master Gao, and save myself from starting a fire again.
After the wishful thinking was made, I rode my electric car to the shopping street and bought a few sinks and bundles of plastic woven bags. This is intended for fish and cucumbers.
The islands in the space have grown a little bit bigger. I planted the remaining cucumber seeds, as well as the idle soft soil, and now that I had enough space for vegetables, I thought about planting something else, not afraid of growing much more.
I went to the seed company, bought a few canola seeds, returned to the compound, entered the space, and planted tomatoes, beans, eggplants, peppers and green peppers on the island.
If all these varieties are grown, this compound will become a small vegetable market.
Just when I was complacent about my plan, the phone rang, and it was my mother who called me and asked me to go home, saying that Mrs. Zhang had come to the door and wanted to say goodbye to me.
As Chen Yousheng said, his wife introduced her best friend to me and asked Zhang to be the matchmaker.
As the saying goes, things gather people in groups, Zhang Yousheng's wife's type is not what I like, it is estimated that her girlfriends are also the same type, I have a kind of disgust in my heart, of course, I am not disgusted with other girls, but disgusted with that kind of person.
With this kind of psychology, I didn't agree to go on a blind date, and I couldn't directly refuse my mother, so I had to make up a reason, saying that I was very busy on the construction site now, and I couldn't get out of it, and I would contact him when I had time to go back.
This reason seemed to convince the mother, and less than half an hour later, the mother called again.
said that the girl was also in Loess County, Mrs. Zhang asked for a phone number, let me contact the girl, intentionally and unintentionally meet first, we can't lack courtesy in this regard, after all, Chen Yousheng and his wife are kind. If you don't even see each other, it's not easy to explain to others, and it's difficult for the villagers to talk when they meet in the future.
I made a note of the phone number and said I would take the time to contact the girl. Mother told me not to delay it for too long.
Actually, I didn't take this matter to heart, so I put it aside for the time being.
On the phone, my mother told me by the way that my father had done the work of the uncle's two-room base with the village director, and he would pick up the old house when he had to spare time.
The greenhouse is being planted with bamboo chips, and it will take three to five days. Ask me what to do if I'm tied. I told my mother that just tie the bamboo chips, and that the shelves are ready.
My mother didn't know what medicine I was selling in my gourd, and although she didn't understand why I was doing it, she agreed.
I didn't go to the construction site for most of the day. In order to prevent Wang Changhai from picking on me and gossiping, I went to the supermarket to buy some cooked food and two bottles of Daqu wine, and brought them back to the construction site.
When Master Gao saw me buying something again, he nagged that he couldn't eat too much, which showed his happy appearance and knew that he was polite.
Master Gao had already stewed the fish, perhaps because of the smell of the fish, which hooked out Wang Changhai's gluttony, and he shouted to drink two cups before 11 o'clock.
Uncle Liu at the door smelled the fragrance and came, but I had no choice but to sit at the dinner table with the old man.
Maybe it was my fish, food and wine that played a role, but neither Wang Changhai nor Master Gao mentioned that I was not at the construction site, and clearly told me that I could play if I wanted to, and I would do whatever I wanted, and I would not be so free when I started work. Just look at the construction site and leave it to them.
Of course I can't let them suffer, I have all their ingredients, Master Gao does it in a different way, Wang Changhai and Uncle Liu are naturally happy.
I thought the bearded vendors would call me at noon, but no. You know, the other day I delivered goods to the bearded man twice a day, once in the morning and once at noon. I didn't call, which means that the fish was not sold out.
I didn't take a break at noon, and went to the convenience market to investigate the specific situation.
As I guessed, the five fish sellers in the market were all selling my goods. My total sales have increased, but for each of them, sales have decreased.
The bearded man was dissatisfied.
"Brother, if you don't supply them, I can sell two copies a day, and now it's back to before."
The customers who often come to the convenience market to buy vegetables are all residents of the surrounding area, the source of customers is relatively fixed, and the total sales volume is limited.
This is true for fish, and it is also true for cucumbers. The cucumbers I sent are of better quality than other cucumbers, my goods are easy to sell, and the others are unsalable.
While understanding the situation, I told them the address of my newly rented house and asked them to pick up the goods before 5:00~7:00 every morning, and there was no one at other times.
As for whether they are convenient or not, I don't care so much, the total sales volume of this convenient market is limited after all, and I want to open up new markets.
Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, things must be done one by one, and it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite. Until now, I have not given up the idea of bringing fish into the big supermarkets, because the conditions are not available yet.
There are five convenient markets in Loess County, and this southeast corner is one of them, and I want to march one by one.
I spent a whole afternoon inspecting the other four convenience markets, and the situation was similar, and I decided to go to the convenience market in the southwest corner to develop my business.
I did the same, just like I did when I was looking for a bearded man, and I first accosted a fishmonger who was more extroverted and got some fish for him to try selling. I didn't say a word about the price, my purpose is to open up sales here first, so that customers who come here will be recognized.
I promoted my cucumbers by the way, and the big size alone attracted the vegetable sellers, and after tasting them again, I naturally got the results I wanted, and they ordered them from me.
In the new market, I didn't hold the big, the first time the goods were delivered to the door in person, a trial sales were good, after two consecutive deliveries, I was busy with the excuse that there was no time to deliver, who wanted to pick up their own.
As I expected, the vendors who were going to sell my goods arrived at the compound on time, and I was much more relaxed when I had my supplies ready, and they came and went.
At this time, tomatoes, eggplants, beans, green peppers, and peppers have all grown, and my vegetable varieties are no longer single.
The most important thing is that these vegetables not only grow big and have a lot of meat and good taste, there are no pests, of course, I have never used pesticides, pure green natural food, and are deeply loved by customers.
The tomatoes are the size of eggplants, and the eggplants are like soccer balls, and the peppers are like normal cucumbers, but not as big as mine. Green peppers are like rugby, and beans can grow to more than a meter long, and two are enough for a dish.
As soon as these varieties appeared on the vegetable stalls, other similar vegetables immediately became unsalable.
