Chapter 15 Picking Grapes
This batch of group purchases was booked for delivery on August 8. In order to ensure freshness, the grapes were picked half a day in advance.

Shen Qiuqiu's family of four must be too busy.

There is an old saying: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not door-to-door. This sentence is more intuitively reflected in rural areas.

In Qinghe Village, the neighbors are very enthusiastic when they meet each other. If any family has any difficulties, people in the same village will go to help;

It is even more common for big guys to help each other when the farming season is busy.

Grandpa Shen stood on the roof of his house and said hello, and Wang Weidong and his wife next door changed into their upper and lower clothes and came over wearing straw hats.

In the lush vineyard, Wang Weidong and his wife, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen are responsible for picking grapes;

Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu were in charge of checking and packing.

Checking this step is very important. There may be rotten or bad fruits on a bunch of grapes, which must be picked out carefully with scissors;
It also depends on the quality of the fruit. If the fruit bunch is too loose, the fruit is too small, or there are patterns or plaques on the fruit, it is not acceptable.

The group purchases this time are basically friends and relatives, or relatives and friends of relatives and friends. Everyone buys out of trust.

Shen Qiuqiu also wanted to do her best to live up to this trust.

I was busy from noon until the sun was about to set, and the group purchase of more than 700 catties of grapes was finally done.

All the gift boxes have been packed into cartons, and the scattered ones are also packed into fruit-specific foam boxes.

In addition, there is also a large basket of unqualified grapes in the bamboo basket.

I don't want this good grape. Grandma Shen felt a little distressed when she saw it, so she picked a grape grain and put it in her mouth. It was fragrant and sweet.

She couldn't help but said: "Xiaohua, these grapes don't look good, they all taste the same, why can't they be sold?
There must be forty or fifty catties here, we can't finish it by ourselves, it's a pity.

How about I carry it to the market tomorrow morning to have a look, maybe someone will buy it. "

Elderly people hate food being spoiled the most, Shen Qiuqiu has been influenced by it since he was a child, so naturally he won't.

She smiled and said, "Grandma, these grapes are not in good condition and won't sell for a good price, why don't we keep them and make wine for ourselves.

I remember that a few years ago, you and your grandfather went to the mountains to pick grapes and came back to make wine. It is very delicious, with a bit of sourness in the sweetness and a strong fruity aroma.

The wine made from Sunshine Rose will definitely taste better. "

In the early years, there was a piece of mountain grapes on Laodong Mountain.

Grandpa Shen would go to the mountains every year to pick grapes and come back to make wine. Later, the land was contracted to plant trees, and all the grapes were destroyed.

The family has not made wine in these years, but when it comes to the taste, it is still memorable.

Seeing the greedy look on her face, Grandma Shen couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, take it back to make wine, let us Xiaohua drink up."

After dinner, Shen Qiuqiu went to bed early.

She was really tired these days, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes in bed.

At three o'clock in the morning, Shen Qiuqiu, who was sleeping drowsily, was woken up by the alarm clock.

She stretched out on the bed, and got up from the bed sleepily.

The night was hazy, and the night sky was full of stars.

Shen Qiuqiu yawned and came out of the room, only to see that the lights in the kitchen had already been turned on, and smoke was wafting from the chimney on the roof.

Under the dim light in the kitchen, Grandma Shen was busy in front of the stove.

Grandma Shen knew that they had to get up early to deliver the goods, so she got up early to make breakfast for the siblings.

A simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles is full of grandma's deep love.

After eating the loving breakfast prepared by grandma, Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu set off.

The night is dark.

It was quiet all around, a silver pickup truck was driving on the winding mountain road.

Shen Qiuqiu concentrated on driving, while Shen Jiashu didn't dare to sleep while sitting in the passenger seat, and kept looking ahead intently, helping to check the road conditions.

After all, it was the first time to drive a truck on the road, Shen Qiuqiu didn't dare to be careless, he walked on the national highway, but didn't dare to go on the highway.

She also drove slowly, walking more than 200 kilometers in three hours.

It was past six o'clock, the sky was just getting bright, and Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help yawning.

"Suddenly I'm sleepy, let me wake up with some music."

The stereo of Wang Lijun's second-hand pickup truck has been broken for a long time and has never been repaired.

Shen Jiashu took out his mobile phone and turned on the music player.

"I once dreamed of walking the world with a sword,
Look at the prosperity of the world,

The young heart is always a little frivolous,
Now you are at home everywhere..."

Xu Wei's deep and hoarse voice came from the phone.

Listening to his songs, there will be an inexplicable touch, a very vast, quiet and warm feeling.

Listening, the siblings couldn't help humming along.

While singing, Shen Qiuqiu laughed.

Some things were suddenly relieved, and there was a feeling of enlightenment.

There is no way to go in vain in life, every step is experience, every step is growth...

Those who are past cannot be warned, those who come can still be pursued, and it will get better and better in the future.

……

Because I had a short rest on the way, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning when I arrived at Yunchuan.

When Shen Jiashu was at home, he had already planned the route according to the customer's address.

When I entered the city, I turned on the navigation, and started delivering goods one by one in an orderly manner.

Missed the morning rush hour, the roads in the city are not considered congested.

The siblings rushed to deliver all the grapes before nine o'clock in the evening.

The process was fairly smooth, but there was a small episode in the middle.

Because there was no pre-sale deposit for this group purchase, one person temporarily regretted not wanting it, which resulted in an extra 10 catties of grapes.

This is not too much, and if you take it to a roadside stall, you may not be able to sell it, and it will waste time.

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea.

She turned on the mobile phone map, began to search for nearby fruit shops, and then went door-to-door to sell them.

Parking the car in front of a fruit shop called "Youle Fresh Fruit", Shen Qiuqiu packed a bunch of grapes in a paper bag and went in.

It was a bit late at this time, and there were no customers in the store, so as soon as she entered the store, the little girl in the store greeted her warmly.

Shen Qiuqiu asked with a smile: "Excuse me, do you have sunshine rose grapes in your store? How much is it per catty?"

This kind of grape is a high-priced fruit, and it can sell for at least a hundred yuan per order. The smile on the little girl's face became more enthusiastic.

"Yes, here, 78 pounds of premium fruit, 68 pounds of first-class fruit, which one do you want?"

Shen Qiuqiu looked in the direction of her finger.

There is not much difference between the so-called super fruit and first-class fruit, except that one fruit is larger and the other is smaller.

But the two kinds sold in the store are not as good as the string she holds in her hand.

With this comparison, she felt a little more confident.

"Excuse me, is your boss or store manager here?"

The little girl looked at her in a daze, so she just bought a grape, why did she ask the boss?

However, he nodded subconsciously, pointed to the counter not far away and said, "The boss is there to settle accounts."
