Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 163 Out-of-season fruits

"That's for sure. Uncle, if you get rich, will you have to come back and help us?" Qin Hao asked with a smile.

"That's necessary!" Wang Dagui was able to come back in the first place because he had the idea of ​​returning to his roots.

After making money, I can return to my hometown in fine clothes and take care of myself at home in the future. This is for sure.

Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

"Let's eat here." Qin Hao saw that the sky was getting bright and the rice would be ready to eat.

Wang Dagui waved his hands after hearing this, "No, no, your mother made chicken cakes, and I just want to take a bite, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he hurried away again.

Just chatting about feelings?

Wang Dagui went out here, and Li Haidong entered the room, "Brother-in-law, who came just now?"

He got up when he heard the noise. Unexpectedly, when he came over, the person was already gone.

"Uncle." Qin Hao added a handful of firewood to the stove and said, "After dinner, you can take me to the city later. I have something to do."

"Okay!" Li Haidong didn't ask what he was doing. He just drove.

What she ate in the morning was yesterday's leftovers. After Li Meiling got up, she packed up her things.

Qin Hao took his brother-in-law to the warehouse to carry things. As for where the things came from, they didn't ask.

It was covered with paper and the plastic frame made it impossible to tell what was inside.

"Brother-in-law, what is this?" Li Haidong asked curiously after moving five boxes of things.

Hearing this, Qin Hao stopped opening the car door and replied: "If you want goods from others, get in the car first."

Every morning he would go out for a ride on his motorcycle just to have an excuse to take out his things, and no one paid any attention to him in the early hours of the morning.

So about an hour after leaving the village, he came back and took out what he needed from the vegetable cellar.

Seeing what he said, Li Haidong had no doubts.

But Qin Hao knew that if he wanted to continue to bring back more things from modern times, he needed to improve the place where the vegetable cellar was located. This would have to be done again when he built a house.

It was already noon when the two of them arrived in the city. They were not in a hurry to get down to business and went to have a meal first.

Since he got rich, Qin Hao has been very generous in eating and drinking. He only eats noodles occasionally when he goes out to restaurants, and mostly stir-fries.

"Just a bowl of noodles." Li Haidong looked at the prices on the menu and was reluctant to order. A bowl of noodles only costs a few cents.

Meats and dishes all start at one yuan. After all, pork costs a pound more per dollar, so there is no such thing as cheap meat and dishes.

"Who wants noodles?" Qin Hao directly ordered two dishes, one braised pork ribs and one boiled pork slices.

This boiled pork slices are not available in every restaurant, only restaurants that specialize in Sichuan cuisine.

Li Haidong thinks it's too luxurious for two people to go to a restaurant, but he won't say it's too expensive. Since they can order it, it's not worth the money for the meal.

"Second brother-in-law, it's starting to get cold today, and it's hard to get out in the car. Will you still deliver goods every three to five days in the future?"

Chang Gui's business has been good recently, so he asked Li Haidong to deliver goods several times.

After the weather gets colder, the truck travels quite well, but it needs to be heated, otherwise the water tank will freeze and it will be difficult to drive.

Qin Hao also knew what he was thinking, and replied: "It will be enough to give it away next time. We will see if there is any business then."

The two chatted for a while, and then the food was served.

While I was eating, two people came in from outside.

Qin Hao glanced up and saw an acquaintance.

"Brother Heng?" He stood up and said hello.

"Qin Hao, why are you here?" Liang Heng went out to eat with his colleagues, but they didn't expect to meet him.

Since they are not outsiders, Qin Hao proposed to have dinner together, "I'm here to treat you. We haven't seen you for a long time. Isn't it too much, Brother Heng, to have some dinner together?"

It happened that they didn't take two bites of the food when it arrived, so just add two more dishes.

Originally, Liang Heng didn't want to agree. After all, he was also a public official. Taking other people's food would cause unnecessary trouble.

But Qin Hao has said so, and it will be bad if he refutes his face.

"Okay, I'll invite you next time I have a chance." Liang Heng smiled and took his colleagues to sit down and introduced them.

Colleague Sun Baolu was a little surprised to learn that Qin Hao helped Liang Heng and participated in the case.

"So you are Qin Hao, who was involved in our case..." When the words came to his lips, he stopped talking.

There are too many people here, and it would not be good to discuss too many cases.

Qin Hao understood instantly and smoothed things over with a smile: "Two more dishes!"

I asked the waiter to serve two more stir-fried dishes and ordered two bottles of drinks.

Liang Heng and the two had to go to work and couldn't drink, so they drank.

Everyone chatted while eating, and some cases were not allowed to be mentioned. Li Haidong listened in a fog, and never heard what the two people were doing.

I really don’t understand why my brother-in-law wants to treat me to dinner? This meal costs less than ten yuan, and I have enough money to burn it.

After dinner, Qin Hao also had other things to do, so he didn't say much to others. Originally, Liang Heng was grateful to him, and talking too much seemed like he was asking someone to do things.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Qin Hao would not go to the other party, even if he was a friend, there was no need.

After leaving the hotel, the two drove to the fruit shop.

"Is Wei Chengdong here?" Qin Hao asked the waiter.

By the way, I looked at the fruits on the shelf. There were not many strawberries, and they were well preserved. They didn’t look wilted. It seemed that I had taken the time to preserve them.

Hearing that he was looking for the boss, the waiter looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to see the boss for?"

"I'm his friend, just tell him Qin Hao comes to see him." Qin Hao saw a phone in the store and knew they could contact each other.

When he heard the name, the clerk was stunned for a moment, and then his attitude changed 180 degrees, "Oh, it's Mr. Qin. The boss said you'd call him when you're here. You guys sit here for a while, and I'll make a call."

After saying that, another clerk brought stools for them to sit on while the man went over to make a phone call.

The phone was quickly hung up, and the clerk came over and said, "The boss said he would be there in ten minutes. You guys can drink some water."

Put hot water on the table and your attitude will be different.

Before, my nostrils were pointed in the air, but now I look like that again. In fact, this is the case in the current service industry, especially those selling goods that are in short supply.

They know whether the goods are available or not, and the items that people line up to buy are all accompanied by smiling faces, so that they feel that they are also among the goods that are in short supply.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Wei Chengdong came in from the outside with a cold air.

"Are you anxious about waiting? If you don't tell me in advance when you are coming, I will treat you to some food." He is still very enthusiastic, which is different from Chang Gui's enthusiasm. He is a gentle type, while Chang Gui is a bit fiery and impatient.

"I'm here after dinner, Boss Wei. I know you're busy. Let's go out and see something." Qin Hao didn't say anything nonsense and went out with the others.

Everyone is very busy. Wei Chengdong has a lot of property, but he is also anxious to go home to spend time with his wife and children.

Wei Chengdong was also confused when he heard this. What are you looking at?

Coming all the way here, he thought something was wrong.

Arriving at the truck, Qin Hao asked Li Haidong to get in the truck and move out the boxes under the torn quilt. There were only five boxes in total. "What is this?" Wei Chengdong curiously opened the paper shell covering it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"This……"

Qin Hao smiled, very satisfied with his reaction, "Pineapple, what do you think, Boss Wei?"

There are four pineapples in a box, with shock-proof material underneath and a paper shell on top. If it weren't for the quilt, it would be freezing.

"Very good!" Wei Chengdong looked at the other boxes, "Are they all pineapples?"

At this time, southern fruits are not common at all, and this pineapple is still a tropical fruit, which is even more difficult to get.

He came back with a cart of fruit. In fact, the price was ridiculously expensive, otherwise the fruit in the store wouldn't be so expensive.

"Take a look." Qin Hao pushed the boxes in front of him.

Opening them one by one, Wei Chengdong changed from surprised to dull.

"Why do these grapes taste a little weird? And the Huagai pear is so well preserved."

"Can you also get blueberries? They are quite expensive! I have never seen blueberries in the south, and they are not easy to transport."

"Where did this cantaloupe come from? The price is very high in the south."

Looking at these things, Wei Chengdong didn't know what to say. Where did all this come from?

There is no cold chain transportation now, so we generally don’t dare to buy things like blueberries. It’s almost as if a truckload of them will be damaged.

It’s not the weather in the Northeast that’s the problem, it’s the roads that are uneven and broken. If there is less transportation, the cost will become higher. No matter how rich others are, they can’t buy a blueberry for one dollar, right?

Qin Hao turned a blind eye to his question, "Brother Wei, I have my channels. If you want these supplies, we can negotiate the price."

He was too lazy to get apples and bananas because the prices were too low. Although they were out-of-season fruits, he wanted to outshine them with quality and rarity.

Wei Chengdong didn't answer immediately and stood in the cold wind thinking for a while. After all, it is a rare fruit. It is impossible for others to tell, let alone where Qin Hao got it.

This is the bottom line of doing business. People said that they would not choose Qin Hao because of the cost.

Therefore, he did not dwell on the source, but carefully considered the price of the fruit.

If it's too high, it's unnecessary. If it's too low, Qin Hao still needs to make money, which is too difficult to do.

"What's the price? Brother, just quote the lowest price. I'll cooperate if you can." He thought for a while and could only say this.

It's not appropriate to say the price yourself. If someone else gets the price after quoting it, there will be no way to negotiate. Because the price he quoted is his base price, which is inappropriate.

Qin Hao pointed at the pineapple and said: "We don't sell this thing in the entire Tongshi. Let alone it, there are only a few for sale."

"Pineapples are priced at two yuan per catty, blueberries and grapes are two yuan and a half per catty, blueberries are four yuan per catty, cantaloupes are three and a half yuan, and pears are cheap at one yuan per catty."

The selling price of ordinary grapes Wei Chengdong is 3 yuan to 3.5 yuan. The price fluctuates depending on the amount of loss in the process. The more you throw away, the more expensive it is; the less you throw away, the cheaper it is.

As for the taste, it is definitely not as good as what Qin Hao brought.

"Aren't blueberries a bit expensive?" Wei Chengdong felt that other things were suitable, the price was reasonable, and cheaper than he thought.

Of course, he couldn't ask for the price he imagined and couldn't sell it.

"Try it." Qin Hao asked him to taste it before talking.

Wei Chengdong tasted one, and then picked up three more to taste, taking them from different positions.

"So sweet!"

Not only are they larger than ordinary blueberries, they also taste particularly sweet, which is really surprising.

Qin Hao was very satisfied with his reaction and asked proudly: "Is it still expensive?"

With this quality and taste, it’s totally fine to sell it for five to six yuan at a price of four yuan.

What's more important is that there is none in the entire Tong City!

Wei Chengdong is not the only one selling out-of-season fruits, but not everyone can get some things.

Wei Chengdong was extremely admired at this time, "Brother, I have to say that you have a wide range of connections. I won't say anything anymore. Just give me as much as you have!"

He didn't care where the things came from, even if Qin Hao stole them, he would dare to accept them.

Hearing this, Qin Hao shook his head and did not answer him.

"What's wrong? Is that all?" Wei Chengdong was a little disappointed. He could have wanted more of such a good thing.

But that's it...

Qin Hao smiled mysteriously, "Brother Wei, I can get you as much as you want, but you have to be able to eat it."

He has already found a supplier at Hyundai. People from other places only need to place an order, and he can get the goods from Wang Jun.

When Wei Chengdong heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. This was too exaggerated. But he believes that only when the goods are available can he make money.

Although this fruit shop is quite large, there are not many types of fruits in it. The most common ones are bananas, apples, oranges and pears. Grapes and strawberries are rare commodities.

"Then give me two hundred kilograms of each kind so that we can settle the accounts. Winter has just begun and business is very good. I will definitely be able to order more goods by the end of the year." Wei Chengdong did the math. Two hundred kilograms of each kind is one thousand. Even if it weighs a pound, he can sell it even if he takes it.

Let's see the market reaction first. If there isn't enough sales then just call Qin Hao. This won't be a problem.

Qin Hao also agreed, and the two of them calculated the total, which was a total of two thousand six hundred yuan.

In fact, the price of the fruit he gave was not high. How much Wei Chengdong could sell it all depended on his ability.

After paying a deposit of 600 yuan, Qin Hao also gave him these fruits. After counting the 150 yuan, any extra given would be used as extra.

It hasn't even been weighed yet, so it's the first time the two of them have collaborated.

Qin Hao got in the car and went home. Along the way, Li Haidong was surprised that his brother-in-law had such an ability.

It's really amazing!

But Li Haidong is still curious, why not sell it himself? Since there are trucks from the south delivering goods, wouldn’t you make more money by selling them yourself?

After asking, Qin Hao responded like this, "Although you make less money, the time you save is precious. People only have two hands, and it is impossible to do so much work. Just about the same."

If he abandons his stall at home and goes to work in the city, it won't be easy for him even if he offends someone, regardless of whether he knows Wei Chengdong or not.

It's easier for him to stay at home and do whatever he wants.

Li Haidong seemed to understand, but didn't ask any more questions.

If it hadn't been for this truck, Qin Hao wouldn't have started the fruit reselling business. It was too troublesome and he was too lazy to bother.

The money I make now is enough. Anyway, if I maintain the status quo, I can still make more than twenty people a year.

Back home, Qin Hao bought a dime of pork from the town, which is half the meat with the elbow.

The meat was about thirty kilograms, which was enough for them to eat for a while. They had to buy it when they could save money. Modern meat was not very tasty.
