Fruit Tycoon [Farming]

The temperature is rising day by day, and this year's Spring Festival is later than in previous years. During the few days at the end of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Yi directly put on a woolen coat, then put on a thin sweater and went out.If you want to go into the greenhouse, Xu Yi usually wears a long T-shirt and goes in. Xu Ma told him about it several times—she still remembers how her son was shivering from the cold before, even though Xu Yi is now intact. After returning home, Mama Xu still had hidden worries in her heart.

During the Spring Festival, large orange trucks regularly transport the picked oranges to Sujin City.Normally, the sales of oranges are already very popular. When the Spring Festival comes, there are huge crowds of people inside and outside Xu's store, and the gift boxes prepared in the store are sold out before noon.The customers who were not in the queue looked at the empty shelves and showed a blank look.

"It's gone...how come it's gone?"

"I came to line up at 7 o'clock in the morning, but I didn't buy anything!!!"

Thinking of the solemn instructions of my grandpa/grandmother/father/mother, the eyes of the young people who got up early and queued up suddenly went dark.

During the Spring Festival, the elders in the family are cleaning, dusting, and shopping, and they are so busy that they do not touch the ground. They are sent out to buy oranges because they have nothing to do.

How did they guarantee it before they came: "No problem! I will come to line up when I wake up tomorrow, and I will be the first to buy it!"

The proud oath is still in front of them, but the reality is ten thousand times crueler than imagined. Thinking of their mother/father's poisonous tongue, they feel that the world is dark.

#Life is finally going to do something to these poor little cats#

"Boss, it's the Spring Festival, can't you supply more?" A customer protested to Lin Jinglun.

Lin Jinglun was also very helpless: "Our Xu family does not sell anything else, only oranges. This morning's shipments are already quite a lot. We didn't expect so many people to snap up."

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it can only be offset by oranges used to squeeze juice.But Lin Jinglun knew that this was even more impossible.The equipment and labor of the juice factory emptied Xu Yi and his savings, and they were all waiting for the oranges to be squeezed. If the oranges were sold out, they could only stare at the shiny equipment in a daze!

But I have to say that the popularity of oranges has indeed solved Xu Yi's urgent needs. With this money, Xu Yi will not be too stretched when spending money, especially before the Spring Festival. It's also a small expense.

"At the end of the year, I made some money and all went in." Lin Jinglun had a cigarette in his mouth, looking like a social boss, he lit it casually, took a sip, and then spit out the smoke ring smartly, coldly, The back of the head was hit hard.

Lin Jinglun turned his head angrily: "Which idiot... She is a mother who is easily deceived by others!"

Aunt Lin is impatient, the absolute leader of the Lin family, from her husband to her son, and even the big yellow dog behind the house are all under her control.Seeing Lin Jinglun's stupid look, she didn't even get angry: "You are not allowed to smoke at home, so you came to pollute the environment of Xiaoyi's house?"

Lin Jinglun: "...I, Yan Yizi, gave it to me."

Aunt Lin didn't believe his nonsense: "How could a child as good as Xiao Yi give you cigarettes? It's fine for you to be greedy, and you still lie. When your father comes back tonight, we will have a good talk with you, look at you Appearance, clothes, necklace, pants... Lin Jinglun, do you think you look like a man?"

Lin Jinglun: "..."

Forgive him for not being able to answer such a profound question.He looked down at his appearance, didn't he just wear a necklace and a V-neck?How is it not like a man!

Most importantly, Xu Yi had obviously handed him that cigarette, so why should he be blamed?

Aunt Lin went to the kitchen to help Mama Xu. Seeing Lin Jinglun's miserable experience, Xu Yi laughed so hard that he almost fell off his chair.Lin Jinglun touched his head, and said angrily: "This is prejudice!"

It's been like this since he was a child, and he's used to it.Not only that, in addition to being a blame man for ten years, Lin Jinglun also mastered the magical skill of being happy.

——Every time he imagined himself crawling on the ground with a black iron pot on his back, he felt like he had become a turtle.

A few days before the Spring Festival, the business in the store was still going on. Lin Jinglun drove Dad Xu back home. The two families got together to eat warm Xiyun dishes. After that, Lin Jinglun and Dad Xu went back to Xu's store - after the oranges, the first batch of strawberries are also on the market.

The "orange shortage" in Sujin City has finally been alleviated.

Just in time for the Spring Festival, Xu deliberately changed the packaging of strawberries and oranges into simple gift boxes. The outer bag is packaged in environmentally friendly canvas, printed with patterns that young people like.

This does not mean that Xu's needs to put more effort into packaging. All along, Xu's publicity has focused on quality, and the new packaging is just to fit the festive theme of the Spring Festival.

But what Xu Yi didn't expect was that Xu's fruit packaging was very popular in the market, especially Wen Qing and girls.

The gift box is fresh and refreshing. The patterns on the canvas bag were specially designed by a cartoonist invited by Xu Yi. They are all exaggerated fruit shapes. There are more than a dozen patterns in total, each of which is exaggerated and individual.

Lin Jinglun specially called Xu Yi to tell him that he saw many people carrying Xu's canvas bags on the street.

To put it in a foreign way, this is called a souvenir. Generally, literary coffee shops or bookstores will have some unique gadgets, such as cups, canvas bags, and small wallets, to attract customers.

Publishers also make some interesting bookmarks to attract readers when they make books.When Xu Yi was in junior high school, a publishing house did this. The little girls were so fascinated that all the money they spent on drinking milk tea was spent on buying books.

Strawberries and oranges are neatly stacked in a cardboard box separated by grids. The skin has a faint soft luster. The moment the box is unwrapped, the unique fragrance of the fruit immediately pours into the nose, making people unable to resist immediately. Strawberries and oranges were rescued from the shackles of the carton, washed or peeled, and eaten bite by bite.

To some extent, the gift box packaging of many products is actually a waste, especially for fruits like strawberries. The person who puts the box has to put them in one by one, and the person who eats has to take them out one by one, and then rinse them off, which is a waste of time. It is double, which makes the gift box more cumbersome.

But in fact, although Xu’s gift boxes are a bit more expensive, they are more popular than bulk products. Especially during the Spring Festival, gift boxes sell many copies a day, especially the portable and easy-to-handle strawberry gift boxes. The store came straight to it.

"The main reason is that our gift boxes are good-looking." Lin Jinglun concluded, "The red, green and green gift boxes on the market are too dull, and the high-end gift boxes of imported fruits look good, the price is more expensive than ours, and it is not half as delicious as ours. , isn’t spending money to buy that a crime?”

Dad Xu nodded: "Gift boxes are easier to sell, but after the Spring Festival, let's sell them loose."

"I think so too." Lin Jinglun also agreed with Xu's father's statement, "We ordinary people still like to pick and choose on the shelves, no matter the expensive ones or the cheap ones, put them in a box, and you can't see anything inside, after all, it doesn't suit us. consumption concept. If it wasn’t for gift giving, who would buy fruit in a gift box?”

"Well." Xu Yi said, "Just keep the batch of cartons that we ordered before. If the customer needs it, we will replace it with cartons for him."

A few days before the Chinese New Year, both of Xu's stores in Sujin City announced that they would be temporarily closed on New Year's Eve 29. On the 28th, customers queuing up to buy fruit almost occupied the entire commercial street.Xu Yi also sent all the strawberries in the greenhouse and oranges on the tree to Sujin City. The supply in the store was rarely sufficient, but obviously, Xu Yi still underestimated the purchasing power of the people of Sujin City. The sales of bulk and loose scales are very hot. After a few days of prosperity in gift boxes, loose scales have also exerted a strong force. Sales are almost equal to or even stronger than gift boxes.

After all, the focus of gift giving was years ago, and it was almost the Chinese New Year. Of course, the fruit I bought was for my family to eat, so I didn't need to pay too much attention.

The People's Livelihood Edition of "Su Jin Daily" deliberately spent a certain amount of space reporting on the prosperity of Xu's business.It can be said that after more than two years of development, Xu's is no longer a mystery to the people of Sujin City. It has gradually developed from an unfamiliar foreign fruit brand into a necessity for the people of Sujin City, setting off wave after wave of panic buying. .

Although Xu's fruits are expensive, they are not so expensive that ordinary people dare not even try them like luxury goods.Most importantly, its taste and nutritional value make it worthwhile for customers.

For the people in the foodie country, worth is the first, and the price is second.

……

After the strawberries were ripe, Xu Yi waited patiently for two days before transporting them to Sujin.During these two days, Xu Yi picked a bunch of strawberries from various sheds and piled them in the washbasin as high as a hill. After picking, Xu Yi shut himself in the room and carefully observed the shape of the strawberries, After the observation of size and appearance, the strawberries were washed under the tap.

Xu Yi started eating like crazy.

He no longer remembers how many times he went to the toilet that day. It is no exaggeration to say that his breath smelled like strawberries that day.

The most important thing is that although the temperature has risen compared with previous years at the end of the twelfth lunar month this year, it means that the hands are not too cold when eating fruit, but it is not the time to eat strawberries like crazy.

Xu Yi paid the price for his crazy behavior - he wrapped himself into a ball and huddled under the quilt for a long time.

But luckily, the taste of strawberries didn't disappoint him.Even with the effect of Guimiaozong Lingshui, the taste of strawberries is slightly better than last year, with a unique sweetness.

If Xu Yi had to describe that feeling, it would be that the strawberries tasted like they had been soaked in mountain spring water, and the mouth was full of coolness, making people feel like they were in the mountains, stepping on the rocks, and the water waves rippled. There was the sound of the flute, and the spring water washed the feet from time to time...

Of course, Xu Yi also felt shivering when he described it in such a sub-zero temperature.But this is indeed his true feeling, without any falsehood.

What Xu Yi did to die like this was Xu Ma's merciless stare.Although she was angry, she still stewed pig's trotters soup for Xu Yi. Xu Yi was a bit tired of drinking it, so Xu's mother added seasonings to make braised pig's trotters. Xu Yi then went to the kitchen with his slippers on to eat the pig's trotters.

The pig's trotters are already soft and rotten, but braised in soy sauce is another taste.The trotters were tender and springy, with a hint of sweetness in the meat, and the slightly sticky texture made people want to swallow their tongues. Xu Yi couldn't stop eating one and ate another.

Father Xu, who was watching TV in the room, rushed over when he smelled the smell of meat.

But unlike Xu Yi's VIP treatment, only Xu Ma's cold eyes greeted him.In a few minutes, Dad Xu helped to light the fire, choose vegetables, and stir-fry hot pepper sausages. By the way, he also went to the refrigerator to get drinks.

After finishing these few tasks, seeing his son gnawing his mouth full of oil, Dad Xu stroked his hair, and then remembered, didn't he come to gnaw pig's trotters?Why did you come to work suddenly?

"I'm going back to watch TV..." Xu's father was about to go back to the room, but Xu's mother stopped him at the door. Xu's mother pointed to the cutting board and motioned for Xu's father: "Go and chop the onions."

After a series of incidents, Mama Xu became fiercer and more powerful, and Papa Xu was eaten to death. Papa Xu felt very guilty because of the incidents in the past few years. Mama Xu did not dare to go west. Just let Xu's father hug her thigh and call her queen.

In fact, because Dad Xu is in charge of a store of Xu's alone, Dad Xu also met a few peach blossoms in Sujin City, and even a woman ten years younger than him posted on him. His wife is not here, so the two can talk about being friends.

Dad Xu didn't dare to answer these words. When he called at night, Dad Xu felt aggrieved, and told Mother Xu everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and at the end he emphasized it several times: "She wears so little clothes. It's not too cold, but I still rub my breasts, I'm so scared...women are so scary!"

"Women are terrible!"

Xu Yi who eavesdropped on the corner: "..."

Afterwards, Dad Xu gained experience. Whenever a woman came to him, he would say, "I'm just a part-time worker. The boss took pity on me and let me be the store manager. I eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble. I just worked in a casino recently." I owe 20 yuan. We can talk about it, why don't you lend me some money first?"

One, two or three peach blossoms immediately floated away.

After not farming, Xu's father and Xu's mother's appearance and mental state have improved a lot.Xu Yi and Lin Jinglun buy expensive skin care products for Xu Ma from time to time. They are all big brands starting with L in the mall. Wearing well-fitting clothes, Mama Xu looked the same as when she was young.

Both her and Xu's father had good skin, otherwise they wouldn't be able to give birth to a child as good-looking as Xu Yi—this was just Xu Yi's unilateral idea, and it didn't get the approval of Lin Jinglun and other friends.

Of course, apart from Lin Jinglun, Xu's father and Xu's mother, including his uncle, aunt and two cousins, all agree. Xu Yi's good looks means that their family genes are good, which means they are good-looking.

During this period of time in the store, Dad Xu stopped smoking and drinking strong tea. He brushed his teeth seriously every day and cleaned himself up neatly. He was much more energetic than when he was in his hometown.Of course, if he hadn't been cleaned up carefully, the young girls would have looked down on him.

……

The effect of the strawberries on the market did not exceed Xu Yi's expectations. Not only before the Spring Festival, but after the Spring Festival, there were people queuing up on the first day Xu's opened. At that time, the legal holiday had not yet passed, and Lin Jinglun was still lazily He refused to leave at home, but was kicked by Xu Yi, so he reluctantly got up and started the car.

Aunt Lin looked resentful again: "Look at your ass, the car door is almost blocked by you!"

Lin Jinglun: "...Mom, what happened to me?"

Aunt Lin glared at him coolly: "You say you have a big butt, do you have any objections?"

Lin Jinglun counseled in seconds: "...No, I have no objection."

"Don't be afraid of having a son with a big butt." Xu Yi patted Lin Jinglun on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.Lin Jinglun rolled his huge eyes at him, but he didn't expect that this scene happened to be seen by his mother again.

When his mother gets angry, even if Lin Jinglun is a king, he will stay away, not to mention that his mother has become more and more unreasonable recently, and she disses him in all directions. He smiled and waved at them, and left.

In Sujin City, the festive atmosphere did not affect Xu's performance at all.A few salesmen recruited by Xu's also came to the store early to clean up, tidy up the shelves, and organize the goods... Before the Spring Festival, the business in the store was very good, and they also received a few red envelopes with a large denomination, and went home to spend time with their family members. In other words, this job is no worse than working in an agency.

Not to mention the five insurances and one fund to help pay, except for the busy fruit market period, other times the boss takes vacations and they also take vacations. Although the wages are low during the rest, they can't stand the bonus when the business is good!

There are people who come to work from other places in the store, and there are also local people who have cars and houses and don’t worry about food and drink. They never thought of making a lot of money from this job, but the boss is kind. They usually go to work without being wronged. If it is high, even a salesperson who has no shortage of money at home and only goes to work to pass the time can't help but feel a sense of belonging to this job, and can't help but work harder.

And the most important point, the boss gave each of them three places to sell their own fruits. Now that Xu's fruits are so popular in Sujin City, it is a favor for them to help keep a share.

According to Xu's popularity, they don't need to go out to solicit business at all, they just need to serve customers well.When the salesmen thought about it, they felt a little ashamed. They could only clean up the store and clean up the sundries in time. Even if Lin Jinglun and Xu's father were not in the store, they could still take care of themselves.

On the other side, the first batch of products from Xu's juice factory was also released.

Beverage production seems easy, but every aspect of the procedure requires attention. After all, it involves diet, and if you don’t pay attention to it, you will be doomed.

Beverage production has special production licensing rules, involving water, production sites, equipment, technology, personnel, etc. After the finished product is produced, it must be inspected.

Orange juice belongs to fruit and vegetable juice beverages. The inspection includes color value, turbidity, stability test, light transmittance and other items, as well as lead, tin and other pollutants. For a layman like Xu Yi, the production process is what he learns. process.

The Xu family had registered on it, so Xu Yi didn't spend much time on the approval document, but the production of juice really opened Xu Yi's eyes.Just like he thought that if the seeds were planted, fruits would grow. He also thought that the fruit juice could be mixed with water.

At this time, Xu Yi always felt the lack of knowledge.
