good old days

Chapter 473
  After inviting people from the township government to eat, the group went to the warehouse of the vineyard. The warehouse was cool and dry, and one could clearly feel the wind flowing in the air.

I grabbed a handful of raisins and put them in the sun. They didn't become sticky or black. They tasted pretty good, but they were still slightly different from the new ones in the shade room.

Uncle Luo threw one into his mouth and said, "If we can sell them all within two or three months, it won't be a big problem."

Abdu knew something was right by looking at their expressions. He made a four sign and said he could give them all the goods for [-] cents a kilogram.

This price has been reduced by half of the normal price, and Chen Yishang is satisfied.

Chen Yi asked: "How many are these approximately?"

Abdul: "We still have a little more than a ton here, and other supply and marketing cooperatives should have a lot more."

Chen Yi said bluntly: "If the quality is not good, we will accept it."

Abudu said repeatedly: "I'll take you to have a look. If it works, then it's fine. If it doesn't, forget it."

Abudu was excited because there was still a lot of last year's goods, and several supply and marketing cooperatives placed insufficient orders this year. This happens every year. If this vicious cycle continues, there will still be this year's new goods next year, so what will happen to their village? How to improve the efficiency?

The next day, Luo Chaosheng took Uncle Luo and Duoduo back to Urumqi. Chen Yi and the other two followed Abudu by car to many places for more than half a month.

In the end, we settled on six tons of old goods. The ones on the vineyard side were more expensive. In order to get rid of the old goods, the supply and marketing cooperative made them cheaper by [-] cents. The ones on the vineyard side were also sold for [-] cents.

Last year's goods cost [-] cents, and this year's new goods cost [-] cents, which is more than twice as expensive. Six tons of old goods, [-] kilograms of new goods were ordered in advance, and part of the freshly dried goods this year was given to them first.

After traveling to so many places, I picked up not only raisins, but also [-] kilograms of dried apricots, [-] kilograms of almonds, [-] kilograms of early-ripened dried figs, and [-] kilograms of newly dried cantaloupe this year. Raisins are the most expensive, followed by dried cantaloupe and almonds. The prices of dried figs and dried apricots are a bit low in the local market.

The timing of their arrival was wrong. It would be another month or two before those dried fruits would trickle down and enter the market.

Wang Sumei was frightened. She originally wanted to set up a stall to sell dried fruits, but why did she spend more than [-] yuan to purchase the goods this time? The shipping fee for such a large amount of goods was [-] yuan at one time, and the shipping cost already exceeded the cost of the goods. Price.

Just in case, they had withdrawn a thousand yuan from the bankbook in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have enough money on hand.

Transportation and communications are underdeveloped these days, so the letters of introduction and certificates from Chen Yi and the others were read and reread.

Abdul personally accepted the payment of nearly a thousand yuan, and saw with his own eyes that they paid more than [-] yuan in transportation fees. He still believed in their financial strength. He is also very interested in helping to promote other cooperation.

Under Abdul's introduction, Chen Yi also went to date palm gardens and areas where pistachios and badam were grown, and temporarily settled on [-] kilograms each.

I met all the people in charge and paid one-fifth of the deposit. The remaining payment will have to be paid directly to the delivery person after the goods arrive. As for the fare for the delivery person, Chen Yi and the others have to pay. out. Only in this way can those in charge feel secure.

Chen Yi asked Abudu to help keep an eye on the follow-up matters, and gave him the freight of badam, pistachios and dates in advance according to the price of this transportation. The freight was all paid, and Abudu naturally agreed.

"Don't worry, I will ask my son to help you pick the goods as soon as this year's new goods arrive, and I will ensure that the dried fruits with good quality and taste are shipped to you."

They helped him deal with the old goods. If everything goes well with Chen Yi, their vineyard will have another sales channel in the future, the revenue in their township will be better, and the lives of the villagers will get better and better. People from other provinces come to their local area. This is the first one to pick the goods. Even the leaders above have told them to entertain them well. Maybe more and more people will come here to purchase goods in the future. It is not a troublesome thing to help them run and deliver goods. Things, why not do it?

On the first night before leaving, Abudu entertained them in the small courtyard of the township government bungalow.

Under the shed formed by grape vines, a table was set up with grapes, figs, cantaloupe and watermelon, barbecue and naan, and Jiang Xinyu drank several cups of tea in a row.

This tea is made from local tea leaves. It can’t be said to be delicious, but it’s just drinkable.

After the meal, Abudu took out three brightly colored blankets with different patterns and two brightly colored silk scarves. "This is our intention. Please accept it. We look forward to your coming to play with us next time." Playing is the second best. It is best to continue to purchase goods and improve the efficiency of their countryside.

Wang Sumei's anxious heart was soothed by the blanket and headscarf.

She was worried that so many goods would be damaged if she couldn't sell them, and she was also worried that all the deposits she had given her would be wasted. Even though they are dealing with the leaders of the township government these days, and the deposits have been stamped, but there are thousands of kilometers between here and the capital, so nothing can be said for sure.

Abdul's attitude made her want to believe that this must be a good beginning, and he would definitely contribute in the follow-up.

They returned to Urumqi at noon the next day and went to Uncle Luo's home.

"Chaosheng went to the next county for inspection and it will take a few days to come back. Are you leaving?"

Uncle Luo felt regretful, what a great opportunity, but his son was not here.

Wang Sumei nodded: "Let's go after buying the ticket."

Although it would take at least half a month for the goods to arrive, they had to go back quickly to find a suitable yard to stack the goods. According to the plan of their son and daughter-in-law, they also had to quickly find a shop and go through the formalities to open the business.

All these things are happening. There are so many goods piled there. If she loses everything in her hands, she will lose several thousand yuan. When she thinks of this, she can't even sleep.

Uncle Luo said kindly: "Even if your goods are piled up in the yard, you can use them as you like except in the house."

He never imagined that they could bring in nearly three tons of cargo at once.

When buying tickets the next day, Chen Yi directly bought the tickets back to the capital, while Jiang Xinyu and Wang Sumei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bought tickets back to the county.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to go back to take care of the child, sell the bicycle toting Changhai, and find a reliable person to go to the capital with them to help. Chen Yi had to find a store. If we act together, it will waste time.

When we were taking the train back from the capital, we could still lie down on the sleeper berth and buy hot food and rice on the train. But today, when we were returning from Urumqi, the three of us were eating dry naan bread with water on our seats.

Watching the dining car approaching, with Wang Sumei's fiery eyes, Chen Yi still ordered two box lunches.

Wang Sumei wanted to curse, but did his son have any idea? Do you know how much they spent on this trip back?

She has begun to regret that she wanted to sell dried fruits on a whim.

He spent almost [-] yuan, but he still dared to buy food on the train.

As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of fried beans and meat hit her nostrils, which made Wang Sumei burst into tears.

She pushed the food box toward Chen Yi and said, "You can eat it, I can't eat it."

Jiang Xinyu, who had already eaten, put down her chopsticks and said close to her ear: "Mom, so much money has been spent, and you still have this little money left? Eat, eat well, go back and work hard."

Wang Sumei covered her heart.

This trip cost not two yuan, nor two hundred yuan, but nearly three thousand yuan!

How can my son and daughter-in-law sit here calmly?
