"Dad, let me give you an idea, do you think it will work?"
Seeing that the time was right, Mei Xiaoran expressed his thoughts, "If you return the money to my second uncle and then buy food, you may not be able to sell it all..."
Mei Zhonghua interrupted her, "We can sell the grain to the geological team. The people in their unit are rich."
"Dad, we only went to the geological team yesterday, and now we go again, do you think they can finish it?"
"What?"
Mei Zhonghua frowned, why didn't he understand what the girl said.
"I mean, we only went to the geological team yesterday, and now we go again. Are we going too often? Besides, most people there like to eat rice. How much rice can my second uncle give you?"
When this was the point, Mei Zhonghua also started to have a headache. He wanted to quickly collect the tuition fees for the children, but now it is neither a festival nor a collection. Seeing that it is the beginning of the school season, it is impossible for the common people to have too much spare money to buy it. Fine grain... This is really embarrassing for him!
Mei Xiaoran knew that what her father wanted was to quickly pour out another batch of food to help her and her brother collect tuition, but in this situation, two or three hundred catties of food cannot be sold in a few days, and all the money in the family must be sold. All pressed. In just three days, she may not be able to collect the tuition fees, so she has to enlighten her dad in time.
Mei Zhonghua slowed down while thinking about pulling the cart, and walked half a mile before turning around and asking, "Girl, what do you say?"
"Dad, or we won't go back to my hometown yet."
"Well, your second uncle is still taking risks. Besides, the children of your second uncle's family will also go to school."
When it comes to the word going to school, Mei Zhonghua feels his brain hurts. Alas, it is a good thing for children to go to school, but whether they can afford it is a big deal!
"Dad, let's go to Xiaodongying."
Mei Xiaoran proposed to go to Xiaodongying. Actually, he planned to go to Xiaodongying. This day is the season to eat watermelons. Only Xiaodongying grows watermelons in the county... Unlike the land contract, people want to grow what they want.
At that time, only Xiaodongying was the watermelon field, and it was the only place in the county that provided watermelons. It’s not easy for everyone to eat a watermelon on a hot day... Her dad has a unique skill in picking watermelons. The watermelons picked out are sandy and sweet. Go now. Xiao Dongying pulled out a cart of watermelons, she dared to prove
It is sold out in one day, which is much faster than selling food. There are risks in selling food, but there is no risk in selling watermelons, and you will not be labeled as speculative!
Mei Zhonghua's eyes lit up, "Girl, do you mean letting Dad go to Xiaodongying to pull a cart of watermelons to sell?"
"Dad, watermelon is a seasonal fruit. It must not be sold for a long time. But in summer, people’s demand for watermelon far exceeds fine grains. There is no risk in selling this. Don’t delay your giving money to my second uncle today."
This is a great idea!
Mei Zhonghua did what he said, and ran to Xiaodongying while pulling a shelf cart. Xiaodongying was about ten miles away from the county seat and couldn't hold his legs to run fast. He rushed to Xiaodongying in less than an hour.
Although selling watermelons is not speculative, it is not easy to buy watermelons from the steward because the whole county only grows watermelons. Mei Xiaoran cleverly asked his dad to buy two packs of Daqianmen, which was considered a good cigarette in the countryside at the time. The manager took over two packs of cigarettes, and said nothing, let Mei Zhonghua pick it up. A cart full of watermelons pulled away.
A catty of watermelon is actually not expensive, three cents per catty, a car of more than 500 catties of watermelon, only a dozen yuan in cost, this money can be obtained by Mei Zhonghua, and there is no need to worry.
When I pulled the watermelon back to the county seat, it was only seven or eight in the morning.
Mei Xiaoran gave her dad an idea, no matter how big or small, 50 cents a dollar. Calculating these 500 catties, there will be fifty or sixty melons. The market price is five cents per catty. If you sell them all, you can make more than ten yuan, which is more cost-effective than selling food and comes faster.
Mei Zhonghua pulled the watermelon directly to the Caishi Street in Dongguan, and found a cardboard and wrote a few big characters: watermelon fifty cents, sandbags are sweet, not sweet, no money!
Mei Xiaoran ran home and took the kitchen knife, cut a few on the spot, so that everyone could see the appearance.
In a short while, someone came up and asked, seeing 50 cents a melon, and a little disgusted, "No matter how big or small a watermelon costs 50 cents? Isn't it expensive?"
"Uncle, you pick a big watermelon to go home. How about a dozen kilograms of a big watermelon? Pick it early to take it all up!"
When Mei Xiaoran said this, the man stopped speaking and happily picked a big watermelon and took it away.
The business is like this. As soon as it opens and one person buys it, there must be a second one.
!
Although watermelon is not a rare thing, it can't stand the number of people selling it these years. What's more, this cart of melons from Mei Zhonghua La is still fresh, looks good, and you can pick it up. It only takes an hour. A cart of watermelons is hard. He sold most of the car in his life.
Mei Zhonghua looked very happy, and according to this, he could sell out a cart of watermelons. Who would have money to make too little
"Dad, you can unload all the remaining watermelons. I'll watch the stalls here, and you can pull another cart."
Mei Xiaoran's proposal moved Mei Zhonghua, but he was a little worried, "Ran Ran, can you do it alone?"
"It's okay, you go quickly, go early and return early, don't pick the melons that are too big, just medium ones!"
Mei Zhonghua laughed, this girl didn't know who to follow, her brains were just good.
He pulled the shelf cart and left. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered, relying on his two legs to go back and forth, plus picking melons, so he can't delay three hours... It's been past noon when he comes back. It's too much delay. .
Thinking of this, instead of walking directly on the highway, he turned the handlebar and turned to the sixth brother's house at the east end of Caishi Street...
The car of watermelons picked by Mei Zhonghua was good. Even if others were not here, Mei Xiaoran sold them very quickly, and soon sold more than a dozen melons.
She was happily stuffing the money into her pocket, and suddenly heard a sneer, "Mei Xiaoran, why are you selling melons here? It's not ashamed!"
Mei Xiaoran looked up and saw that it was really Yuan Jia Lu Zhai, who turned out to be Qi Yao.
"Qiyao, if you want to buy melons, you can buy them quickly. If you don't buy them, you can leave. Don't delay my selling melons."
"you… "
Qi Yao was also attracted by this watermelon. It was hot today, and a family selling melon came to the vegetable market, but it was Mei Xiaoran's house, which made her a little dilemma.
"Okay, I know you want to eat melons, I'll pick a bigger one for you."
Mei Xiaoran is not the kind of person who ignores the predecessors. She understands that selling the watermelon is the most important right now. As for her grievances with Qi Yao, we will calculate it later!
Qi Yao watched her pick a big watermelon out, her face flushed red, and she slammed the fifty cents to the ground, picked it up, and walked away, "This is melon money. I'll go back and see if this melon is not. It’s delicious, I’m sure to smash this melon in your face!
Mei Xiaoran smiled and picked up the money, "I'm sure you will come again."
