Chapter 427 427. Plan to make straw mats
Grandma also laughed:
“Oh, our Qiao Qiao is really good at talking! But your brother Yan Ping’s calling you like this is useless, and you tricked this girl into coming here. Only then did you find out that he is a lazy person, so what should you do?”
Zhang Yanping held the watermelon and just wanted to sigh.
How to say? He couldn't pass this test today.
Fortunately, Watermelon rescued him in the end——
As soon as grandma ate the watermelon, she couldn't help but eat several more mouthfuls: "Tantan, this watermelon you grew is still delicious. I couldn't help but eat too much of the ones you gave me last time."
“The same goes for your grandpa. Even if he was not allowed to eat more, he would not let go of it. Later I bought a few more, but they didn’t taste like this.”
Song Tan laughed loudly: "This is a new variety, cultivated with special nutrient solution. Grandma will live in my house and eat it whenever she wants."
"I know," grandma can now watch some short videos: "Nowadays it's all high-tech, what new varieties. I was playing Douyin that day, and some were cultivating some egg fruits on the trees - I took a look, and one pound was about It’s eighty or ninety yuan!”
Song Tan: ...Grandma, what you are talking about is a liar, and it is not the same thing as us.
But how to justify it?
She was also speechless.
…
After all, grandma was old, and Song Tan didn’t dare to ask them to eat more of the cold melons. Each of them ate two pieces, and the remaining plastic wrap was stuffed back into the refrigerator.
It was only then that grandma realized:
“Where are the others?”
Qiao Qiao thought for a while: "Mom went to the field to pick vegetables and said she wanted to make a good meal at noon. My seventh cousin went to the back mountain and said he wanted to pick a tender pumpkin and come back to stir-fry at noon..."
“Dad and grandpa are mowing and drying the grass, and they haven’t come back yet. Grandma went to pick tea in the morning, and she is also helping now...and brother Wu Lei, he is helping to pick watermelons in the mountains, and now he needs many watermelons every day!”
Qiaoqiao finished speaking in one breath, and then she was surprised to find: "Wow! We have so many family members!"
Such a hot day…
Grandma couldn't help but look up at the sun outside. Song Tan quickly comforted her: "It's okay. Brother Wu Lei is wearing a hat, and there are many places in my peach forest that are shaded, so there is not so much sunlight."
Actually, it’s a hot day and everyone is not working right now.
It's just that Wu Lei thought too much and was afraid that he would have new work arrangements when he came back, so he simply stayed in the mountains without moving.
However, after all, he was the eldest grandson who grew up with his son in front of him, so grandma still felt a little distressed. She knew that Wu Lei was not doing things well, so he sent it here on purpose, so she had no choice but to change the topic:
“Tan Tan, how do you sell these melons? Do you want to sell so many melons in one day?”
"You take it to the market yourself and sell it?"
“No.” Song Tan explained with a smile.
Originally, she took the orders from her mobile phone to sell them in the city. However, the weather was hot and it was hard to move and lift, so this job was directly given to the vegetable vendor Lao Zhao.
But this time I won’t give you any money. I will give you three big watermelons for one delivery, whether he sells it or eats it himself.
Three large watermelons can be sold for more than a thousand yuan, and the commission is really high!
But for Song Tan - don’t have too many watermelons at home!
That's it, Lao Zhao was not very happy when he was nourished by today's happy life at first!
Until he heard about the gift of watermelon, he reluctantly agreed - if he didn't do other things, if he didn't do this job, he would have to spend hundreds of dollars every day buying watermelon!
Now, if you take on the job of selling on behalf of others, you can drive the car one more time, and you don’t need to unload the truck until the goods are delivered.
He can sell two of the three large watermelons and cut a few pieces into the remaining one. His parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be left behind, and everyone will be happy.
Old Zhao’s abacus beads were crackling, but he had no intention of becoming bigger and stronger.
In fact, if you find someone to wholesale watermelons, people will fight for it at 20 yuan a pound. Song Tan doesn't even need to give out a few extra watermelons, so it's not impossible to increase the price.
However, the family’s trademarks and other items are not yet complete, and the brand is not ready to start now.
Although you may get more money by wholesale to others, there is no guarantee that others will be unfavorable and greedy. Whether it is a sky-high price or a substandard product, it will easily ruin your reputation.
Choose Lao Zhao because he is now enjoying the benefits of being lazy and will not do anything shoddy. Now Lao Zhao comes to pull vegetables in the morning and watermelons in the afternoon of the next day. He has work to do every day, and his time schedule is full!
Grandma was confused when she heard this. She only knew that her eldest grandson was now responsible for helping people load watermelons into the truck...
Tantan said that it was only a few hundred melons a day. She thought, it wouldn’t be much hard work, so just do it.
But there was another thing that aroused her curiosity.
“Qiaoqiao, what did you just say about mowing the grass?”
Grandma was curious: "Are you going to pull grass in the garden on this hot day?"
"No." Qiao Qiao shook her head: "There is a field in my sister's new land that is full of rushes. Grandpa said that asking someone to cut it back and make straw mats can make money."
Ah yo.
Grandma and grandpa are also extremely envious:
“Your grandpa is very energetic. I guess this can be sold for a lot of money, right?”
Song Tan smiled and said, "I can definitely make some money."
“But grandma, you and grandpa don’t be impatient. Later, grandpa said to bring two bundles of straw over. You can also make yourself a straw mat at home.”
"If you still have time, you can help him weave straw mats. If he hires someone to weave straw mats, he will be paid for each weaving bed!"
“What salary do you want?”
Grandpa shook his head: "It's all a matter of helping me, and it doesn't take much effort."
“That’s not okay.”
Song Tan quickly shook his head. If you want to do a very detailed job of weaving straw mats, you can only weave one bed in a day, which is not that easy.
But for grandpa, this is the best job, and it doesn’t work without money.
not to mention…
"It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 kilograms of grass, and there is a lot of it even after it is dried. If you want money, grandpa is too embarrassed to pay wages to others."
She whispered: "You guys go ahead and do it first. If the sales are good, I will expand the scale next year. By then, grandpa will be able to make money at home. How great!"
oops! Can it really be sold?
Grandma and grandpa were both happy.
Just...the old couple have been living in the countryside all their lives and have saved their savings through their teeth. Now their total pension money is only tens of thousands of yuan.
But nowadays it costs a lot of money to go to the hospital when you are sick, and it is not unheard of in the village that some families have disputes over nursing homes...
Money is a person’s courage.
If they can earn and save money, but they can no longer work in the future, are they still afraid of causing trouble to their children?
No need!
Besides, people who work at home every day would feel uncomfortable if they came here and did nothing, but they would feel comfortable if they had some work on their hands.
I watched this video about Egg Fruit. It’s really a lie. Don’t believe it, hahaha.
Good night.
Also, Huahua said that in order not to let me be responsible for after-sales, she would write an update now—
But, unless you see an update.
Otherwise, don’t believe any of the stories you make up.
Finally, I recently watched the male channel's "Embers of the Deep" and it was really good! Highly recommended!
