Chapter 45 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (45)
Perhaps things really turn around for the old Xu family this year.
The next day, Xu Yin rode a small electric donkey to the train station to pick up a package. On the way, she met Master Yu and the farm director who came to see her on a tractor, saying they were here to buy her watermelons.
This was a big deal, Xu Yin simply turned around and went home, and picked up the package in the afternoon.
After arriving home, she took out the tea leaves and served tea to him.
Im sorry, theres no one at home. My dad went to the watermelon field, and my mom went to see my grandma.
Her family will start harvesting rice tomorrow, and her mother will call her uncle to help her and deliver some rice fish to her grandmothers house.
Its okay, I told you the same thing.
The field director has been very busy these days, otherwise he would have chased me here yesterday.
Lets get straight to the point:
"Are your watermelons of the same variety? Are they all as good as the ones delivered yesterday? If so, I want them all. It may take a few days for the payment to be delayed, but don't worry, it will only be higher than the market price. I To tell you the truth, this was harvested for someone else. My classmate was engaged in optimizing melon seeds. He originally asked us to harvest the melons from our farm. However, after the sample melons were sent for inspection, he said that the melons from our farm did not meet his requirements, so he asked me So angry
Your melons taste really good. Yesterday, I took the remaining half back and gave it to him to taste. His tricky tongue also gave me a thumbs up, and said that as long as the quality is as good as yesterday, he will take it all. Originally, he planned to come over to talk to you today, but he had something to do early in the morning and rushed back to Haicheng. He asked me to take care of this matter after all the instructions. "
Some people came to collect melons, and the Xu family couldn't ask for them. They had to borrow tractors to transport melons and sell them.
As for the price, lets not talk about it. It must be higher than the market price.
As for how high it is, it depends on the specific evaluation by experts from the Melon Seed Optimization Research Institute. Anyway, it will not let them suffer a loss.
There was a rush over there. After the farm director reached an agreement with Xu Yin's family, he didn't waste any time. He took the scale and drove the farm's large truck to the melon field that day.
I am afraid that if it is too late, the watermelons in the field will be snatched away by others.
The baskets of watermelons are put on the scale, the quantity is recorded, and then put on the truck, all in one go.
Except for the late-maturing melons that were planted after the rapeseed harvest, almost all the rest were bought by the farm director on behalf of the research institute. Except for a dozen or so that were still a little raw, they were left to the Xu family for their own consumption.
The deposit for this batch of melons was five hundred.
To be honest, even if there is no follow-up, the money is far more than the price that the two elders wanted to sell melons for.
So I didnt worry anymore. I smiled from ear to ear and helped to pick melons, weigh them, and keep accounts. I was very busy.
When the villagers saw that Old Xu Jiaguang had sold two acres of watermelons for 500 yuan, envy was no longer enough to express their feelings. They really wanted to go up and shake Father Xu and ask: Why is your family so lucky?
Last year, many families in the village planted watermelons, but they were hit by a heavy rain during the ripening stage. As a result, the watermelons did not taste very good and could not be sold at a high price.
Therefore, not many families are willing to plant it this year, and even if they do, they will only plant a few plants in their own plots, which is only enough to feed a few members of the family.
Unlike Mr. Xu, who used all the three acres of dry land at the foot of the mountain to grow watermelons, he was often secretly laughed at for this.
Unexpectedly, the clown was themselves!
I wonder if it's too late to follow Mr. Xu and grow watermelons?
The Guoshun family has become prosperous this year!
I heard that it was Yin Yatou who persuaded him to only grow rice and watermelon. It seems that top students are different.
Whatever uncle Guoshuns family will grow next year, my family will grow too! Why wait until next year, we can do it in the second half of the year. Uncle Guoshuns family still grows rice and raises rice and fish in their four acres of paddy field, so I will follow him!
Its a pity that its too late to plant watermelons
"I think the reason why Uncle Guoshun's watermelons sell so well is not because there are few people growing them, but because they taste good. Haven't you eaten them?"
"That seems to be right. My kid was clamoring for watermelon a few days ago. I went to Uncle Guoshun's house and bought one. It's really delicious. It tastes very sweet and has enough water content."
No one can match Guoshuns melon-growing skills
With these two acres of watermelons sold at high prices, Mr. Xu has firmly established himself as a melon grower.
The villagers who once laughed at him for not knowing how to adapt and planting so many watermelons even when they couldn't sell them at a good price only felt their cheeks hurt.
Xu's mother sent away the people on the farm with a smile on her face, and turned back to Xu Yin and said: "Oh, none of these people are mature enough to be left to our family, they are all taken away! The remaining few are still raw, Now your uncle and the others are here to help us harvest rice, and they wont be able to eat even if they want to..."
The villagers who have not dispersed: "..." Just show off!
Xu Yin felt that although her mother had no education, she was familiar with "Versailles" literature and could learn it without learning.
Because of the watermelon purchase, Xu Yin went to the train station to pick up the package one day late.
There are many things in the package, some are for the family, some are for the grandmas family, and some are sent to her parents family by her sister-in-law.
A few pieces of defective cloth and the extra wool and cashmere threads she bought were what she planned to resell.
After sorting them into categories, Xu Yin took out her sister-in-laws share and put them in two large stacked bamboo baskets tied to the back seat.
Speaking of which, this bamboo basket still belongs to the Li family, so I will return it by the way this time.
In addition, I also took a piece of fresh lamb belly weighing about three kilograms and a clean duck with its hair removed from the system warehouse.
This time, in addition to helping my sister-in-law carry things, I also asked the Li family to help buy dried seafood and send it to Tongcheng.
She made a list for them, listing the market prices of dried kelp and other common seafood in Tongcheng.
As for the purchase price, the Li family can decide on their own, which can be considered as an extra income for them.
The Li family heard from her that dried small seafood, which was almost ignored locally, was very popular in Tongcheng. The seafood she brought was sold out within a few days, and there was a considerable gap between the purchase price and the selling price. Profit margin, naturally I am happy to take this business.
Xu Yin left her brothers sister-in-laws home address and the phone number of her eldest brothers office. She also gave some instructions on the quality requirements of the dried seafood and left.
While the sky was still bright, I went directly to my grandmas house.
Leave the address and phone number of your brother and sister-in-law with your uncle's family. If the purchase price offered by the local dry goods market is far different from the retail price in Tongcheng, and your uncle doesn't mind the trouble, just send it to Tongcheng boldly.
Before coming here, she made an appointment with her brother-in-law and the street stall couple. She would give the couple the goods to sell on their behalf, and ask her sister-in-law to send a money order to pay for the goods.
After finishing the extra money project for the two families, Xu Yin felt relaxed. She tied the cloth and other large items in the back seat of the car. Two baskets were hung on the faucet of the car, containing two kilograms of sheep and scorpion bones and a clean duck respectively. She made stewed sheep, scorpion and radish at home. , cut the duck into pieces and braise it.
Tomorrow is the first day of harvesting rice, so you cant make up for it well for your family.
