Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "You have taken good care of my family, but my ability is limited at present and I can't help much. Otherwise, when will your big cherries be picked? I will bring a few kilograms of samples over there. If my friend is there If you want, your home can have multiple sales outlets.”
The village chief was really surprised now. He almost jumped up like a child despite his age, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Is it convenient?"
“I’ll take a few pounds with me on the way and ask if there’s any inconvenience. I can’t guarantee whether I’ll accept them or not.”
“Okay, okay, when will you set off? I’ll prepare it for you in advance. Regardless of whether this happens or not, I’ll thank you.”
Xu Yin wanted to go there tomorrow.
The closer to June, the faster the cherries ripen.
Don't look at it. When I picked it today, there was not much ripeness on each tree. It took me a long time to get enough to send to my classmates. But wait and see tomorrow, each tree will be ripe at least one or two pounds.
Even if only one or two kilograms are cooked, it is no problem to make up 500 kilograms from 300 trees.
So she rented the truck today and planned to set off after picking it tomorrow. She was not afraid of leaving at night. At worst, she would arrive in Anshi in the middle of the night, and it would be convenient for the fruit supermarket to deliver the goods the next morning.
The village chief went home with the good news and promised to deliver it as soon as possible tomorrow.
Although his large cherries are not yet fully ripe, you can get a few kilograms of samples at any time.
After the village chief left, Xu's father said to his daughter: "If you are in trouble, don't show off. Although the village chief helps us a lot on weekdays, business is business. Cherries are not like other fruits and cannot be grown. If you We promised to help them sell it, but they couldn't sell it back, but they were harming them."
Father Xu was really afraid that his daughter would make her look fat, so he insisted on hugging her because he was obviously incapable of doing so.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Dad, am I that stupid? I agreed to help them sell it before I found a good market. I just brought some samples to show to Boss Chen's friends. It doesn't matter if they are willing to accept it or not. , I will definitely give the village chief an answer before tomorrow night."
“That’s fine, do your best and don’t try too hard.”
Xu Yin nodded to show that she knew.
The next day, because they had to deliver goods to Anshi and pick five hundred catties, the family of three got up early.
Of course, this morning is for Xu Yin.
During the cherry picking season, the Xu family got up every day before the chicken crow, and went up the mountain at dawn. Xu's father was responsible for climbing the ladder to pick the high places, and Xu's mother picked the low places.
The couple were originally good at farm work, and over the years, they have perfected their efficiency.
Lunch sometimes consisted of dry food brought in the morning, and sometimes Xu’s mother trotted home and cooked it, then carried it up the mountain and ate it with Xu’s father. He didn’t take a break after eating and continued picking without stopping.
During the busiest period, I had to pick all the stars every day before calling it a day.
At the end of the day, there were almost fifteen or six hours on the mountain. Otherwise, how could the two of them have picked eight or nine thousand kilograms?
In order to save some wages for hired workers, the couple worked desperately for their lives.
Today I have a daughter, and the couple's mental attributes are full, and they work like a fast-paced robot arm.
“Yin Yin, you pick it slowly. Your mother and I are used to picking it. It’s only five hundred kilograms. I’ll definitely finish it today.”
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry, it’s okay to pick again tomorrow if you can’t finish picking. Boss Chen didn’t rush me, just send it to you when you finish picking.”
Besides, she was not slow either. It was just because she had to sort out some of the items that were still raw and needed to wait a few more days, which reduced her efficiency.
Put the picked cherries in a bamboo basket. The bottom of the basket is lined with cherry leaves that have been soaked in spiritual mist. Pick a batch and put them on a layer, which should be able to lock in the freshness of the cherries.
Just as Xu Yin’s family was putting in the harvest, the village chief came up with his son and daughters-in-law to help.
Five hundred kilograms is not a small amount, and it is a small cherry. It depends on a family of three to pick it by themselves, so they have to pick it as long as they want.
"Mingkang, you are too foreign. Our two families are both surnamed Xu. We may be related for several generations. Besides, our cherries are not yet in the picking period. There is no work for the time being. Why don't you come over and help me?" "That's right, Mingkang. Brother, you can just pick it with peace of mind, we will take care of this piece. Don’t worry, I will pick it with care and never damage any one."
With the participation of the village chief and his family, the efficiency has increased steadily.
Originally planned to get 500 kilograms before dark, but now I picked them out before noon.
This means that there is strength in numbers.
A group of people carried the cherry basket down the mountain and put it on the cart.
Xu Yin said that now that she has picked them, she will set off now.
The village chief sent his youngest son home to bring over five kilograms of large cherries.
Xu Laowu ran very fast.
“Lao Wu, what are you doing? You are sweating profusely. Aren’t your cherries not yet ready for picking?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
Xu Laowu is also a shrewd person. The matter for Xu Yin has not been completed yet, so he will not tell anyone about it.
But when the Xu Yin family carries so many baskets of cherries down the mountain, someone in the village will always see them, and they will inevitably come up and ask a few questions.
Father Xu no longer hid it. After all, the five hundred kilograms had been sold. It was the way his daughter found it. He was proud of it.
In this way, everyone in the village soon knew:
“Xu Mingkang’s cherries were sold to Anshi by his daughter!”
“Mingkang, his daughter is quite capable!”
“I would say that college students are more or less capable. The more books they read, the more they are smart.”
Wang Cuihua: “…”
What a college student! Damn you can't read!
That girl Xu Yin is not good at studying. She has been vain and fond of dressing up since she was a child. Her family conditions are obviously very average, and she always wears famous brands.
I heard from Shanshan that she also asked her former classmates to borrow money, so maybe she was trying to make a fool of herself this time.
Look, Mingkang and his wife will be tricked to death by their daughter sooner or later.
…
Xu Yin didn't care what the villagers thought of her. She took a shower and changed into clean clothes when she got home.
Xu’s mother took advantage of this time to cook her a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles.
Wenxian County is three to four hundred kilometers from Anshi. Even though the whole journey is connected by expressway, it still takes more than three hours to drive. How can we not eat well?
When Xu Laowu came to deliver cherry samples, his mother ordered him to bring a small piece of beef tendon that had just been braised in the morning, saying it was for Xu Yin to eat. It took a long time to drive, which was really hard work.
Xu's mother thought that her daughter was really working hard, so she didn't refuse: "Lao Wu, these are the snacks that Yinyin brought from Anshi. You can take them back and feed them to your children at home."
She sent back a box of Anshi specialties, then cut the beef into thin slices and spread it on the cooked noodles.
Xu Yin was very satisfied with the food, including meat, eggs, and home-grown vegetables.
Without any delay after eating, I started the small truck, loaded up 500 kilograms of small cherries, plus samples of large cherries from the village chief’s house, and set off for Anshi.
Of course, the moment the carriage door closed, she put the cherries into the system warehouse and drove the empty car on the highway, saving worry and fuel.
