Chapter 926: The selfish and vain female supporting role (22)
"Okay, then I will leave a piece of cherry tree for tourists to pick, and if the price is..."
“Stop setting the price so stupidly low.”
Chen Jiao interrupted, with a hint of hatred in her tone.
She was so anxious for Xu Yin that she went all the way to deliver the goods to her door, only selling them for 12 yuan a pound.
Of course, Xu Yin must have quoted the lowest price because of her face, but Boss Feng and the others are all old foxes in the mall. Why would they be so aggressive when there is no profit margin?
Look, as soon as the goods are delivered, the price is quoted at 30 per pound when it is put on the shelf. Every time you go in and out, you make a lot of money.
No wonder the goods delivered yesterday were not sold out yet, so I called hurriedly to ask for more. It’s not just that the profit is high and the sales are good.
That's why she mobilized Xu Yin to engage in cherry picking, and set the price more securely, so as not to let herself lose money. It would be too passive to just supply the fruit shop.
Xu Yin smiled and nodded: "I know, Boss Feng and the others were introduced by you, Sister Chen. I must give you your face. Fortunately, Boss Feng and the others want large quantities, small profits but quick turnover, so they can still make money. But When a tour group comes to pick the produce, the price cannot be set so low, otherwise my parents’ work this year will be in vain. But don’t worry, no matter how much we sell, I will give your cousin a commission when she gets back to her.”
Chen Jiao had a clear look on her face: Just say it! Xu Yin must have given Boss Feng and the others such a low price for her sake.
“They’ll ask you to order later, and I’ll ask them to subsidize some fuel expenses for you. I can’t just catch you and try to harvest the wool just because you’re my friend.”
Xu Yin was delighted: “Thank you, Sister Chen.”
“Thank you, haven’t you done enough to help me?”
Chen Jiao has always had a do-it-yourself style. Before Xu Yin got home, she and her cousin from afar had decided on a one-day cherry-picking trip.
“Yinyin, it’s settled! But it won’t be until next Saturday at the earliest, because the target group is mainly young families with children, and the working days may not be organized well. You can report the picking price and food expenses to me later.”
After listening to the voice, Xu Yin stopped the car and sent an ok emoticon.
Before she even got out of the car, she saw a lot of people popping up in front of her house.
Some of them went around to her house to inquire about her before going to work in the mountains; some of them saw her coming back in a small truck at the intersection and followed her to join in the fun.
“Yinyin is back? Did you really sell the cherries for 12 yuan?”
“Did you go to Anshi to sell them? Is the cherry business in Anshi so good?”
“Yin Yin, a purchaser from Anshi, how much does a big cherry blossom cost per kilogram?”
Xu's mother trotted out of the house: "My family, Yin Yin, came from Anshi very early in the morning. She hasn't had breakfast yet. Don't hang around her. We'll talk about it later if you have something to do."
She pulled her daughter into the house and blocked the fence gate, and then the villagers dispersed.
Xu Yin actually had breakfast. At 5:30, she and Chen Jiao went to the alley to eat sesame seed cakes, deep-fried dough sticks and tofu pudding.
“Mom, I’m not hungry at all after eating. Some of my classmates are coming to our house to pick cherries later. I’ll pack up my things and go to the entrance of the village to pick them up.”
Xu’s mother heard her mention this matter before, saying that these classmates had helped her.
Parents always have a special impression of those who have helped their children: "Okay, when they come, I will cook some snacks and you can eat with them."
“There’s no need to cook it specially, just have a light meal at our house at noon.”
The price quoted by the tour group is of course more than 88 yuan. Taking into account transportation, tour guide, insurance and other services, it is estimated to be between 118-138 yuan, but children under 1.2 meters tall are free. Therefore, for a family of three, if the children are still young, a day trip can cost around 200 yuan. They can eat and drink enough and take back a basket of cherries. Xu Yin thinks this price is quite appropriate.
“What do you mean?” Xu’s mother didn’t quite understand.
Xu Yin opened it and told her.
“You mean, come to our house to pick cherries, eat them while picking, give them a basket afterward, sell the extra basket to them at market price, and then have lunch at our house?”
“Yes, mom thinks 88 is not cost-effective for one person, right? How about 98?”
…”
What’s not a good deal!
She thinks it’s too expensive!
Xu’s mother didn’t dare to think about it.
No matter how delicious the cherries are, eating two or three kilograms at a time will make you choke to death. As for farm rice—the eggs are laid by chickens, the chickens are raised at home, and the vegetables are grown in the yard. At most, you can ask the pork boss to cut some meat, chop some ribs, or ask the fish boss to weigh some stream fish and shrimps. A hundred yuan for a table of vegetables will make you die. If you charge 88 per person, will anyone really come?
Seeing that her mother had been silent for a long time, Xu Yin pondered for a moment and said: "Then I will raise the price and set it at 98. Mom, you don't have to worry about them picking randomly. I will keep an eye on them and there will be no wasted cherries."
Speaking, he sent Chen Jiao a quote of 98 per person.
Chen Jiao replied with a voice message: "I think this price is acceptable and leaves a lot of profit margin for my cousin, so that's the deal."
…”
Xu's mother opened her mouth, feeling more and more that her daughter was daydreaming about the blue sky.
How can anyone come if it is so expensive?
Xu Yin didn't stay at home for long because her old classmate called her and said she had arrived in Xiangcheng and would be at the entrance of the village soon.
She took out a roast duck, a roast chicken, two braised beef tendons and a bag of mixed green vegetables and peanuts and handed them to Xu's mother: "Mom, I took my classmates to pick cherries. Lunch doesn't have to be complicated. Just make it." Tomato egg drop soup and two fried vegetables will do."
Xu’s mother received it and found that the roast duck and roast chicken were still warm. Did she go to the store to buy them so early in the morning?
My daughter has become much more diligent recently, and Xu’s mother can’t express her feelings.
Don’t ask any more questions about my daughter’s whimsical tour group project, just let her be happy.
Since no one came and there was nothing to sell in Anshi, I asked my daughter to watch the cherry orchard at home. She and the man would pick and sell them in the city, so that the cherries would not rot on the branches.
…
Feeling the slightly hot wind in early summer, Lu Wenxin pressed down the car window and said to her boyfriend: "My classmate is a bit vain and vain. No matter what she says for a while, you won't believe it. Thank you for lending a helping hand when we are in trouble. Then she gave her two kilograms of cherries to express her gratitude... I didn’t believe a word she said, and she probably found some excuse to deceive me into lending her money. I won’t be fooled again no matter what she says this time.”
She believed that others were the same. She thanked Xu Yin and said she was too polite, but in her heart she was on guard.
Her boyfriend said with a smile: "Since you know her thoughts, why are you still here? Aren't you afraid of a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth?"
“That’s why I asked you to come with me.” Lu Wenxin flipped up her long hair and hummed, “You have to protect me and my wallet, otherwise I will reconsider your proposal.”
“Okay.” Her boyfriend cooperated in a funny way.
“I want to see how she plans to act. She acts like a drama queen all day long. Even though her family is too poor to even build a building, she still pretends to be rich and beautiful outside..."
