Yunding Ranch

Chapter 354 Sold Out

Lu Li only felt that his body was about to fall apart. He worked less than a day here at the exhibition, but it was even harder than the three days of harvesting grapes. He only felt that his hands and feet were no longer his own, as if the whole person had to It fell apart.

At this time, there were less than 10 minutes left before the end of the exhibition, and the crowd gathered around the booth still hadn't completely left. There were still more than a dozen people reluctant to leave, surrounded Lu Li, chatting with smiles on their faces, and it was very lively.If it wasn't for the fact that the staff of the exhibition hadn't urged them several times, causing the guests to disperse one after another, Lu Li probably wouldn't be able to rest.

It turns out that it is such a hard thing to attract attention, and it is such a tossing thing to deal with enthusiasm.Living in the US for the past few years, as an Asian face, more often than not it is a little transparent, no matter what they want, they have to work hard for themselves - of course, this is part of American culture, even for white people If you don't open your mouth, it is absolutely impossible to get it.

But today, Lu Li seemed to be standing under the spotlight, becoming the focus of all attention, and he was still in Texas, which has always been xenophobic.This is really rare and strange.

It was the first time that Lu Li really felt that he still liked the days when he was so transparent.There is an endless stream of people without even a break to breathe, it is really too tossing.

"Arnold, drink water." A glass of Coke was handed over to him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Cole, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is estimated that this nickname will accompany him through this period of time.

Lu Li didn't have the energy to refute at this time, so he took the Coke and gulped it down.

Although Coke wasn't the best choice to quench thirst, his dry throat was finally relieved a little. Lu Li let out a long breath, showing a happy expression, "Finally alive." The dullness and oppression in his chest were unconsciously Feeling, gradually dissipated.

"Thanks to our big star, all our goods are sold out today. It's hard work, hard work." Jessica also came to join in the fun, laughing and joking.

Lu Li rolled his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know how many times he had sweated. After sweating, he dried up, and then he sweated again, and dried up again.After cycling many times, it feels like the whole person has just stepped out of the sauna. "The same story, if you tell it two thousand times, I've already vomited it three times."

About the story of the smart catching of the thief, almost everyone had to ask about it once. Even if Lu Li wanted to simplify and tell the outline of the story, the onlookers would not let it go.Speaking of the latter, Lu Li really wanted to throw up, and he couldn't even maintain a polite smile.

To be honest, Lu Li tried to escape twice, but he was recognized both times. He couldn't leave the exhibition site in a daze, as if he was trapped in quicksand. Every time he was about to escape, he was dragged back.That kind of despair is really a bitter tear.

"I only vomited three times? You can still keep going. If you vomit ten times, you'll get used to it." Tony, who was standing next to him, complained calmly, making everyone laugh out loud, including Lu Li himself. .

After taking another two gulps of Coke, Lu Li had time to look at their booth—the booth that was originally colorful and orderly was completely emptied, leaving only some leaves and grass stalks, which looked a little strange. Messy.Randy is hard at the back tidying up.

"Fourteen, everything is sold out today!" Randy stood upright, with a smile all over his face. Today is the first day the ranch landed on the market, and they have achieved such excellent results that all the goods have been emptied. It is estimated that there are not many in the whole exhibition, which is indeed gratifying.

Lu Li was stunned, "Isn't it? I've used up all the red wine?" Five boxes, sixty bottles, which I thought would last at least three days, are now consumed in one day?How exaggerated is today's passenger flow.

Seeing Lu Li's astonished expression, everyone exchanged glances, and then all laughed.If the daily consumption is so large, then Yunding Ranch really can't stand it, the cost is too expensive, after all, they are not a big consortium, a big company, or even a family business.

The cost of participating in the exhibition is not a small amount; and it is not like cheese and vegetables, which can be put into sales and directly realize profits.Because the wine has not yet fully fermented and matured, even if it is put into sale, it is difficult to recover the cost, so now it is just testing the waters, pure expenditure and no income.

"No, we only took out three boxes." Tony said with a smile.But even so, the three boxes of wine were all consumed, which is not a small amount. You must know that Texas is not cold at all with wine. "However, I think you'd better not come over in the next few days, or our booth will be overwhelmed in a short time."

Seeing Tony's disgusted expression, Lu Li spread his hands, "For me, this is a good thing. What I need most now is to sit on the swing, drink a cup of tea, and take a good rest."

This is no joke.Today, the reputation of Yunding Ranch's booth has spread, word of mouth will gradually ferment, and the exhibition in the next few days will be relatively easy. Lu Li can completely rest at the ranch, or go to watch the cowboy competition.

"How's the reputation of the cheese?" Lu Li regained his focus after regaining his composure, and then began to ask about today's harvest.

Jessica showed a faint smile and gestured an "OK" gesture, "I think the ranch can purchase some more cows, and then officially start making cheese. This can form a long-term stable source of income."

"So good?" Although Lu Li had enough confidence in cheese thanks to the blessing of spatial springs, he always believed that cheese was just a by-product of milk, and never thought that it might become another source of harvest for the ranch.Hearing such an evaluation all of a sudden was a bit of a surprise.

Jessica nodded in affirmation, "Our milk is already excellent, and when Mr. Lu made it, he completely followed the standards of his own family's consumption. He was not only careful, but also devoted, and every link was given the most considerate care." monitoring. In a sense, we are a small workshop. Similar to a small workshop in Switzerland.”

Hearing Jessica compare Yunding Ranch's cheese with Switzerland, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "My father will be very happy when he hears it."

Jessica also laughed, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes, "I think we should keep the cheese we have and enjoy it by ourselves. After all, these are Mr. Lu's sweat." In retrospect, Lu Huaijin was in Those years in the ranch are still nostalgic, and he and Song Lingyi also left their footprints here in their own way.

"Even if you want to sell out, I won't agree." Lu Li clenched his fists and said firmly. That slightly exaggerated gesture successfully made everyone laugh again.

"After that, we can officially start making cheese in large quantities and put it on sale." Jessica continued, "However, this not only requires buying more machines, but also needs to improve the cattle pen, which is a series of heavy work. In the next few days, we will see how the market reacts, and the sales need to be considered in the long term.”

Lu Li slightly closed his jaw and fell into thinking. The quality inspection system for cheese is different from that for vegetables, and the complexity of the procedures is no less.However, the ranch has been expanding in the past six months, and suddenly started to enter cheese, isn't it a bit too greedy? "Cole? Didn't you object to me buying cows? You felt the same way?"

Cole nodded, "I agree to look at the feedback from the exhibition in the next few days." It seems that he has thought about this issue.

The reason why Lu Li was dissuaded at the beginning was because the ranch was not on the right track at all, and they didn't have an industrial chain to develop this business, so there was no need to spend money randomly, but now the situation is different, and the decision is also different.

Indeed, judging the future based on one day's situation is a bit too arbitrary.However, there is still an opportunity for further evaluation in the following exhibitions. This is the best platform to directly project the market reaction, especially today there are many tourists from Europe-accurately, most of them.

After Lu Li nodded in affirmation, he turned to look at Randy, "What about the vegetables? How's work today?"

"All sold out, this is the result." Randy had a smug look on his face, "And the word of mouth is all red, and there are even many repeat customers. Today is the first day. In the next few days, wait for the word of mouth to spread. After coming here, I'm afraid the situation will be more lively than today. Even if you are not here, there will be no fewer guests."

"Who said, there is still a mascot." Jessica added beside him, but Lu Li was not annoyed, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it is. How important a mascot is."

Amidst the laughter, the excitement between Randy's brows also subsided, showing a little worry, "However, that's the problem. Today it's all retail. There's no wholesale. The representative from HEB supermarket didn't come either."

The organic farm of Yunding Ranch, also known as Yunding Farm, will fully invest in the cultivation of kale in the future. Their only way out is to cooperate with large supermarket chains on both sides of the coast and sign supplier agreements.Otherwise, kale would have no market in Texas and would just rot in warehouses.

Today's exhibition is all retail, and there are no wholesalers at all.Randy is inevitably still a little worried.

Lu Li thought it through, and waved his hand, "In the first three days of the exhibition, let's do word-of-mouth. As long as word-of-mouth spreads slowly, this is the most important thing for the ranch. By the way, this batch of vegetables , don’t sell all of them, we still have to keep them and give them to our neighbors.”

Once this batch of vegetables is harvested, kale will be on the agenda.In the future, it will be more difficult to harvest a large amount of vegetables for daily consumption. They will only leave a small piece of land to provide Yunding Ranch's own daily needs.

Randy patted his chest with a smile, "Of course, don't worry!"
