Carrying the Ba Zong's child to farm

Under the bright sunshine in May and June, the yard of Zhao Danshi’s house was filled with bamboo plaques one after another, all filled with red strawberries.

As soon as the breeze blows, the sweet fragrance that fills the courtyard can't be suppressed, and it floats everywhere.

DouDou had already tasted the taste of strawberries. He lay on the crib, leaning on the fence to look at the strawberries outside, drooling in strings.

It was the first time he ate fruit puree. Zhao Shanshi didn't dare to give him more, so he let him eat more than half of an egg yolk-sized strawberry puree to taste.

Doudou is smart, he has completely memorized the taste of this fruit when he ate it for the first time.

Zhao Danshi rubbed his face lightly when he came back after filming the video, "It's useless to be greedy, at least I can eat a little more until tomorrow."

"Yeah." Doudou laughed, showing two small white teeth.

Zhao Danshi's hair is long now, and it will fall down to cover his eyes if he doesn't pay attention when he is working. Now he often uses black hair bands to tie up his hair and tie it into a small ball head.He is a good-looking person, and he looks good with any hairstyle. His hairstyle is often praised by fans.

They filmed and edited the video of making strawberry preserves, and uploaded it that night. Fans expressed their surprise, and when they refreshed it again, there were already more than a dozen comments below.Zhao Shanshi replied to them.

-Ah, where did you get the strawberries?The strawberry color is so pretty too. ——Thank you, I grew it at home.

-Brother Shanzhi is so versatile that he hardly looks like a boy. ——A real boy.

- Such a good strawberry, used to make strawberry preserves, is a bit wasteful. ——Yes, there was an accident and I had to pick it early, but our strawberry preserves are also delicious.

-Brother Shanshi, did you grow these strawberries yourself?Looks so tempting, do you sell strawberries? ——Temporarily not for sale, now there is a fruit shop dedicated to cooperation.If we plant more things in the future, we may sell some through Taobao.

-Brother Shanshi, please tell me how I can eat the strawberry preserves you made by yourself—repost this video and @一个人, ten people will each get a can of strawberry preserves.

- Brother is so diligent!Love you! 【Heart】【Heart】【Heart】—Thank you for the compliment, I will continue to work hard, and please support me a lot.

After replying to these comments, Zhao Danshi forwarded them as usual, and then agreed to draw a lottery.

Li Ping came over to watch, "It already has more than 3000 fans. After I watched the video of the Dragon Boat Festival, let's buy a Weibo hot search."

"Okay. By the way, brother, when do you think our Taobao store will open?"

"After a while, there is nothing to sell when opening a Taobao store. After a while, let's see if we can hire reliable people to help us share the work at hand. We can almost open a Taobao store."

"Well, I feel like I have to start looking for candidates." Zhao Shanshi counted on his fingers and showed him, "Now that June is coming, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, etc. will all be harvested, and sending them to the market will not be able to sell at a high price. , have to go online shopping.”

Zhao Shanshi had already thought about it when he was planting. These should be processed into finished products and sold. Sweet potatoes can be washed into potato flour, corn can be made into cornmeal or other things, and soybeans can be made into dried beans. If they are popular, they will be sold like this. It doesn't matter, but it must be more expensive than the ones sold in the county. At the time, at least there must be an organic gimmick.

"Any ideas?"

Zhao Danshi looked at him cross-legged and shook his head melancholy. All young people with a little ability went out to work. The young people who stayed in the village were either lazy, or had their own careers to do, and would not work for others.

He searched for so long, but couldn't find the right person.

"No hurry, let's take a look."

Their online store hasn't opened yet, but something went wrong on the other side of the boss who cooperated with them to sell strawberries.

During this period of time, Li Ping felt that Boss Li's attitude was not quite right. He no longer had the positive attitude of sending money to strawberries as soon as he received them, and he was not as enthusiastic as before when chatting.

I didn't send strawberries to sell today, and Boss Li didn't send a WeChat message to make an appointment with them to sell strawberries the next day.

Judging from Li Ping's experience, the business of this stall is likely to fail.

Zhao Dan was puzzled, "Aren't our strawberries selling well there? Why doesn't he want to sell them?"

"It's because the business is very good." Li Ping smiled, "Strawberries are selling well, which has also led to other businesses. Our strawberries are expensive to buy, so he can't make much money. Strawberries are delicate and delicate. If it can’t be sold out one day, it will be greatly discounted the next day. Although we have tried our best to control the shipment volume, it is still troublesome for him to deal with.”

Zhao Shanshi frowned, "Even so, he has no reason to interrupt our cooperation. After all, our strawberries have brought him a lot of customers."

Li Ping smiled: "Of course he doesn't want to interrupt, but he doesn't have much enthusiasm. I guess he wants to stretch us and let us take the initiative to lower the price."

"Our high-quality strawberries are not expensive at this price."

"The market affects the price. In this small market, there are not enough high-end people to consume our strawberries. For the vast majority of people, our strawberries have already been sold at the price of luxury goods." Li Ping rubbed His head said, "It doesn't matter if Boss Li doesn't want our strawberries, don't we just want to sell other vegetables by the way? Rent a shop in the county town, let's sell it ourselves."

Zhao Shanshi said: "It's really not possible, and this is the only way to go."

Li Ping was not wrong, he sent a WeChat message to ask Boss Li if he wanted to deliver strawberries the next day.

It took a while for Boss Li to reply: I may not be able to eat sixty or seventy catties, so why don't you give me less, or thirty catties?Mr. Li, you said that the wholesale price is 23 yuan per catty, and the round package is only 25 yuan per catty. Then I will pay 23 yuan per catty for the strawberries you will deliver tomorrow, right?

Boss Li had a good plan. He had been selling milk strawberries from Zhao Danshi's house for a while, and even if there were other houses in the county that were also selling this strawberry, the regular customers would also look for his strawberries to buy.A few catties less has no effect on customer flow, but he can save a lot of things, and the price is still low.

Li Ping turned the mobile phone screen to Zhao Shanshi, and smiled: "How about it, am I right?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Danshi came around the corner, and couldn't help muttering in disappointment, "Boss Li's shop has already started, so naturally he doesn't need our strawberries to help him attract gimmicks. Then what should we do? The remaining strawberries It’s not cost-effective to make them all into candied fruit.”

The price of candied fruit is high, but it takes a lot of raw materials, time and energy, and it is not worthwhile to make too much.

Besides, their online store has not yet written a word, who knows when it will open?Now that we have done so much early, it may not be what will happen by then.

Li Ping rubbed his head, "Don't worry, the goods are ours, and we have the initiative. Boss Li doesn't want it, so we just don't sell it to him."

"Is that okay?"

"Why not?" Li Ping remained calm, "I'll give him a call."

Boss Li felt guilty, the phone rang for a long time, he had no choice but to pick up the phone reluctantly, "Mr. Li, I really can't ask for so many of your strawberries. I’m a bit tired of eating it, and it’s not as good as it used to be. Strawberries are no better than other fruits, and the price/performance ratio is relatively low. Most people buy a couple of catties once in a while and try something fresh. I don’t eat them every day. My business It's not easy to do either."

Li Ping listened to him patiently, and echoed, "That's indeed the truth."

The boss was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Hey, thank you for your understanding! People who come back from big cities are sensible! Then you can send [-] catties of strawberries tomorrow."

"You're welcome." Li Ping smiled, "Boss Li, you adjust the purchase on your side, and I adjust the delivery on my side. Or, let's forget about our cooperation?"

"Hey! How can you not count your words?" Boss Li was dumbfounded. "Didn't you say wholesale or round? I don't want to change from round to wholesale now, why can't I?"

"When I was talking about the strawberry business with you, I said you should choose one of the two, but now there is no such condition." Li Ping said patiently: "You have been selling our strawberries for a while, and your reputation has already spread, so nothing happened. It’s a loss, let’s get together and break up.”

Boss Li choked for a moment, "Are you still looking for someone else's house to make a round?"

Li Ping smiled lightly, "That's my business, business secret, no comment."

In the anxiety of Boss Li, Li Ping hung up the phone, and then sent a message to Zhao Chengjia, telling him that he would not need to help carry strawberries tomorrow.

Zhao Danshi approached Li Ping, "Brother, what move should we make next? Are we really looking for another partner?"

"Of course not. We have capital and products, why do we need to pass through other people's hands, so that others can make another money?" Li Ping looked at him, "Didn't you always want to open a shop in the county town to sell our vegetables? Now the plan is ahead of schedule. Yes, we will go tomorrow to see where there is a suitable shop."

"Then the person who looks at the shop?"

"In the initial stage, the two of us will look at it first. When the shop is opened, we can recruit from the public. As long as we offer good conditions, we don't have to worry about no one applying for the job."

Zhao Danshi slapped his head, "That's true, it's because my thinking has solidified, and I always want to find acquaintances."

"Okay, go to bed early, tomorrow we will take a bag and go to the county town again."

They have already picked all the strawberries that can be picked today, and it is estimated that it will take another two or three days before the strawberries are fully ripe, and it will never be too late.With Zhao Wende watching over the field work, there was nothing particularly important, so there was no need to worry.

Early the next morning, when Zhao Shanshi told the old man, the old man nodded happily, "Doing business is better than being a farmer."

He has been worried that Zhao Danshi is too hard to be a farmer with his back to the sky, and he also thinks that being a farmer is worthless, so he doesn't support him coming back to farm.

Zhao Shanshi knew what he was thinking, and teased, "Then I'm going to be the boss, so I'll be promising."

The old man smacked his lips and realized, "It's not that you're worthless as a farmer, but it's not suitable. It's not good for a college student to do anything well, so come back and be a farmer."

"What's wrong with being a farmer? People depend on food. Without farmers, where can we get food?" Zhao Danshi walked behind the old man and squeezed his shoulders. When you come back to be a farmer, you must also be a modern farmer. I know it in my heart, so don’t worry about me.”

"I'm not worried, I'm proud of you." The old man patted the back of Zhao Danshi's hand, "No matter what you do, live a good life, and grandpa will be at ease."

"Grandpa, we are going to the county town to look at the shop today, do you want to go with us?"

"I won't go, I can't see anything with my old arms and old legs, so I don't need to cause you any trouble." The old man shook his head, "Do you want to bring your bags?"

"Take, DouDou likes to join in the fun, now that the weather is fine, let's take him out for a walk."

After Li Ping returned from watering, Zhao Shanshi and him packed up their things and prepared to go to the county seat.

Li Bing's car was parked outside the yard, Zhao Shanshi carefully fixed the basket, and carried the bag inside.

Now DouDou knew that as long as he got in the car, he was going out to play. He was very excited when he was carried into the car, and his whole body moved around dishonestly, so much strength that Zhao Danshi almost couldn't hold him.

"I think we have to install a safety seat, the basket is a bit small, and it's not enough to play around."

Li Ping went to the back seat to check, and found that Doudou was lying in the basket and was unable to move around, "In a few days, let's settle the business of the shop and see if we want to go back to City X."

Zhao Shanshi had no objection, "That's fine."

The two drove to the county seat, and Zhao Danshi sat in the back seat and looked at Doudou, "Brother, we will go to the county seat later, and we should mainly go around the big vegetable markets, right? There are a lot of people there, and the rent is a bit more expensive." It's worth it."

"Okay, let's go take a look first."

Several vegetable markets were quite large, and the two walked around with their arms in their arms, and finally chose the vegetable market in the center of the city.

Several shops in the vegetable market were for rent. Zhao Danshi and Li Ping discussed it, and finally found a shop with a depth of [-] meters, a width of [-] meters, a height of [-] meters, and an area of ​​[-] square meters.This shop is just outside the market, on the side of the fruit stall, not next to the meat market, and the taste is not great.

This shop is sub-leased by the original businessman for [-] a month, with two deposits and one payment required, and the lease is at least one year.

Both of them were quite satisfied with the environment, so they called the shop owner to come out and discuss in detail. They heard that they planned to sell vegetables and they didn't have any objections. Signed the contract.

They set off at nine o'clock in the morning, and received the contract at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the shop fell into Zhao Danshi's name.

It's not that Zhao Danshi has never signed a contract before, but it's just that he has never been as crisp and neat as he is now.

Li Ping saw him holding it up and looking left and right, and laughed at him, "With such a business of more than 1 yuan, how can it be worth your careful consideration?"

Zhao Shanshi sighed, "Brother, a local tyrant like you can't explain my excitement now."

Li Ping hugged his neck and smiled: "No, what's mine is yours, and you're also a local tyrant. Put this aside for now, we have to talk about other things. How do you want to decorate the store? Is there any designer you are familiar with? "

"Isn't it necessary to decorate?" Zhao Danshi nuzzled, "Brother, look at these vegetable shops, which one has been renovated? Just make do with it and sell it. Please ask Uncle Wende to help us weave a few more bamboo baskets. Here we put eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, beans, water spinach, sweet potato leaves, strawberries in a row, and then stick a piece of red paper with calligraphy on the baskets, which will look impressive enough. Save money and trouble How nice it is to save energy."

It is true that Li Ping seldom does such extensive business, but Zhao Shanshi said it, and he has no objection, "Okay, just do it according to your idea."

"Then when we open, should we set off firecrackers or something?"

"You are so beautiful." Li Ping tapped his head lightly, "First apply for the business license, health certificate, food hygiene license and tax registration, and within ten days and half a month, you really won't be able to open the business."

"Ah? It's been so long, so don't we have to go to the market to set up a stall every market day?" Zhao Danshi hugged the pocket, "Forget it, let's find a relationship and see if we can get it done sooner."

Vegetables and fruits grow very fast and become old in a few days. If you don’t do secondary processing, you must hurry up and sell them.

"Basically, eggplant, chili, and beans are very easy to sell. It's not too difficult for us to set up a stall. Cucumbers are less eaten by people. Why don't you go to Jishang to sell some cold dishes? You can change the leftovers to pickled cucumbers."

They set up this kind of small business, and they don't need any licenses to sell food, but it is feasible to sell cold cucumbers.

There are very few people selling cold dishes in the local area, but cold dishes are quite expensive, often costing ten or eight yuan a catty, which is much more cost-effective than selling cucumbers alone.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, Zhao Shanshi agreed, "Okay, then let's sell cold cucumbers, eggplants, beans and so on, and see how the market reacts. I have learned how to cook for so long. Art, save waste."

As soon as he said it, Zhao Danshi immediately bought large vats, pots, clips, edible plastic bags and other items. He bought a lot of goods, so he just had someone deliver them to his door.

When he got home, the old man heard that they were going to open a shop and sell cold dishes again, and shook his head with emotion, "It is extremely difficult for others to start a business, but you are good, one idea after another."

"Isn't that good?" Zhao Danshi raised his eyebrows and smiled at the old man, "Brother's IQ plus my craftsmanship, what kind of business can we fail to do? By the way, Grandpa, has Uncle Wende gone back?"

"Not yet, I guess it's still in the field, and I'll be back later." The old man asked, "What do you want him for?"

"Aren't we going to open a shop here? I want to ask Uncle Wende whether to weave bamboo baskets or not. I'll pay him the money."

The old man patted his thigh and took over the conversation, "What kind of bamboo baskets do you want? I can also weave them. Don't bother Uncle Wende."

"It's about this wide, this long, and this deep." Zhao Danshi described it to the old man with gestures, "We put it in the shop for serving vegetables, it doesn't matter if it's bigger or smaller. Grandpa, don't weave it by yourself. It costs more, and it’s not worth it when you’re tired.”

"This kind of work can't be called tiring. You don't know. When I was young, I was able to weave seven or eight bamboo baskets a day."

"The old saying doesn't mean that a good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past. Besides, you have to carry a bag and weave bamboo. How can you be so busy? The bag is naughty and active. If you put your heart into it, he will rebel against the sky. The great-grandson is no better than those few Are bamboo baskets important?"

Doudou was held in Zhao Danshi's arms, and when he heard his name suddenly, he immediately looked up at his father, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and he gave him a standard sweet smile showing rice grain teeth, unaware that the big, round black pot had already been carried away. to his back.

The old man laughed and scolded, "Come on, it's only your mouth that can speak."

"I'm pretty good at talking, and I'm good at doing business." Zhao Shanshi said to the old man, "You'd better take it easy, don't say I won't let you do it, and be careful not to get tired."

"Okay, I know, I'm not a child, can I not count?"

Zhao Shanshi waved his hand, not to hang out with him.

They go to the town every three, six, and nine times to go to the market, and the day after tomorrow is the market day, so time is a little tight, Zhao Danshi is washing at home, and he has to try to cook cold dishes for everyone in advance.

The recipes for cold dishes must be provided by Watchman, and Watchman is a little displeased with this kind of white labor, "Why do you need me to provide the recipe when you go to the town to sell vegetables?"

"Aren't we mutually beneficial cooperation? Besides, cooking more dishes is just right to improve my cooking skills." Zhao Danshi urged him, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, bring out the cold dish recipes, if there is something inappropriate I still have time to change it quickly.”

"What's not suitable, the recipe I gave is very useful." Speaking of this, Watchman couldn't help complaining, "I told you to make some sauce yourself, but you refused to do it. Look at your What kind of ingredients are these soy sauce, oyster sauce, and bean paste used? They are salty and sweet, and the taste is very simple. They are all food coloring and flavoring. How can you make delicious dishes with these seasonings?"

As soon as Zhao Shanshi heard what he said, he quickly swore, "When I am free, I will definitely make a batch of seasoning."

"I say that every time, when will I be free?" Watchman had dealt with Zhao Danshi for so long, and he had already practiced it. He forced Zhao Danshi to give him an exact deadline.

"When my shop opens, it will be next month. I will definitely make some seasoning next month, okay?"

"Okay." Watchman reluctantly agreed, "This is a recipe for cold dishes. The seasoning here is not up to standard. You have to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms, buy some pork belly and boil some mushroom meat sauce to taste. Onion, ginger, garlic, etc., these You have to use what you grow yourself, the ones outside are not up to standard.”

"Okay, I see, I'll take the time to give it a try."

Therefore, Zhao Danshi had to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms before making cold dishes, and it happened that there was another place to shoot videos. He didn't waste this opportunity and asked Li Ping to follow him to shoot the videos.

Originally, he was worried that he didn't have enough inspiration, and he didn't know what to shoot after shooting videos for a long time, but as a result, each of these incidents naturally pushed him forward.Now he doesn't have to worry about countless inspirations waiting for him in front of him.

For example, this time, making pickles, cooking paste, and making cold dishes can all be filmed as videos. It is estimated that many people will be interested in these.

Zhao Danshi thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to make ancient costumes at all, just buy them directly, there are a lot of other materials, and there is no need to waste this time if they are not bad for such a small amount of materials.
