After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 263: Harvesting Rice, Flour and Apples

"Well, that's the logic. I don't want the goods this time. Leave me your phone number. I'll call you before I come back next time so you can stock up in advance."

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem at all."

By the time Xia Ran finished chatting with Boss Lu and left their contact information, the dozen or so people brought by Boss Lu had all unloaded the goods.

Jianmin was responsible for checking the data, 7000 kilograms, a total of 140 bags. After checking that there was no problem, Xia Ran promptly paid the other party 1120 yuan.

“When will these 8 tons of cargo arrive?”

"It will arrive at midnight today at the earliest, and I can send it to you tomorrow morning."

Xia Ran didn't know whether this price was expensive or cheap. Since the quantity purchased from the city was large, in principle, the price in the city should be lower.

However, the distance from the county where Xia Ran's hometown is to the next province is much closer than the distance from the city to the next province. Taking into account the cost of long-distance transportation and various other costs in the city, it is hard to say which one is cheaper.

Thinking of this, Xia Ran suddenly felt that she should order more. She went over the price in her mind, which was equivalent to 320 yuan for a ton of rice, which was not cheap at all. So she said:

"Okay, if I call and order now, will the goods arrive the day after tomorrow? If they can arrive, I will eat as much as you can deliver, but there is only one condition: it must be delivered before dark the day after tomorrow. Can you do that?"

Boss Lu was shocked: "Really?"

"Really, I'll eat as much as I can."

"Boss Xia, you don't have to buy all this year's new rice. Last year's rice is still edible. In our rural villages, those people who drive tractors to exchange wheat for rice bring in rice from previous years, and everyone still eats it. You can consider buying some of both. Rich people eat fresh and good rice, and ordinary people eat cheap rice. It's easier to sell them if there's a difference."

It seemed like this was the case. She had fallen into a misunderstanding. "What is the price of finished rice?"

Boss Lu thought about it in his mind before he said, "The lowest price I can give you is 1 cents per pound of rice."

"Okay, then I want some rice. As I said before, I haven't paid you a cent, so you have to check the quality of the rice. There is a huge difference between last year's rice and the year before last, so don't fool me."

"Don't worry. I asked them to deliver last year's rice. We have been dealing with the company that delivers the rice to me for several years. Their credit is very good. Otherwise, I wouldn't call to place an order every time. If forty or fifty tons are delivered, can you take it?"

"Sure, let's deliver it. But when the last batch of goods arrives, you should come and tell me in advance so that we can unload the goods at the highway. Otherwise, we will have to move them again, and the amount of goods we have to move will be too much."

"This is no problem."

Xia Ran gave the other party a deposit of 5000 yuan and asked Boss Lu to write a receipt, and the matter was settled.

Just after we saw Boss Lu off, Factory Director Niu arrived with 16 tractors pulling boxes that were piled so high that they were sticking out, and they were tied up with ropes and pulled over.

Lined up in a row, it is still very spectacular.

There was no time to rest and everyone started unloading and inspecting the goods. The apples were first wrapped in straw paper, and then shielding plywood was placed around each fruit to prevent them from being squeezed and bruised.

There are 30 apples in each layer and a box has three layers. The cartons are not sealed. They are specially reserved for inspecting the goods. Everyone opens the boxes to check while moving Xia Ran and others in.

This red apple looked really pleasing to the eye. Xia Ran picked one up and started eating it. It tasted great, especially sweet and hard, and had a lot of juice. However, the apple was too solid. After Xia Ran finished eating one, she actually felt it was heavy.

She took an apple from the box and put it aside, then let everyone have a taste.

Director Niu also brought a ring-beating device for testing the size of fruits. To see if the size is correct, just put the apple in the circle and try it out.

“前面的11车是90的果子,剩下的5车是80到90的果子。90的果子一箱基本在55斤左右,80到90的基本在48斤左右一箱,平均每车60箱,这次总共拉来了25吨多。”

"Your speed is quite good!"

"Is it possible? Before I returned, our Secretary Peng made a phone call and asked people from the township to drive around and use loudspeakers to publicize the news in every village. This was a move that mobilized the entire township's manpower.

You see, these boxes were obtained temporarily by Secretary Peng through his connections, so there is no writing on them. We arranged for people to pack these apples overnight and pack them into boxes.”

"You guys have great spirit!"

"So, Boss Xia, should I continue to bring the goods here?"

"Go ahead. I received a call from our boss this morning and the truck has been arranged. I'll take whatever you have."

Everyone was busy until 1:30 in the afternoon before they finished inspecting all the goods. The weight of boxes of the same model is basically fixed.

I randomly picked up a few boxes and weighed them. After subtracting the weight of the empty boxes and the cardboard, I found that the net weight of a box of 90 apples was about 55 jin, with an average of about 6 liang per fruit.

The net weight of a box of 80 to 90 kg is about 48 catties. Xia Ran discussed it with Director Niu and decided to calculate it as 48 catties and 55 catties to avoid trouble.

There were 90 tons of 18.15-yuan fruit, totaling 4356 yuan, and 80 tons of 90-7.2-yuan fruit, totaling 1440 yuan. Xia Ran wrote a receipt for 5796 yuan to Boss Niu, and they would settle the bill at the end.

The yard is full of goods. If we continue to pile them up, there may not be enough space.

Xia Ran directly sent everyone to have lunch with Director Niu and his group. She just kept an eye on it and asked everyone to come back in two hours. This time, Jianmin and the others had no objection and carried out the order directly.

Dachunzi said he wanted to bring food over, but Xia Ran refused.

After seeing these people off, Xia Ran was just about to pack up his things into the space when the flour delivery man arrived. He first brought over two tons of 50-jin bags, a total of 80 bags. He said that the rest of the flour was being ground overtime and could be delivered later.

The price of flour is 1 yuan per pound, or 5 yuan per ton. It is all made from this year's new wheat.

Xia Ran paid the other party 600 yuan in cash and asked him to keep the deposit. Otherwise, he would not dare to continue grinding flour.

After seeing the boss off, Xia Ran quickly put the things into the space, took out a pig's trotter from the space and ate it directly, ate half a pancake, and continued to wait in the yard.
