You've been reborn and you're going to go farm?

The two arrived home at 7 p.m.

It wasn't dark yet, but dinner was already prepared. Seeing the two of them come down, Xu Rong came over and took Jiang Ye's hand, saying, "Xiao Ye, you must be tired."

"Hey, your son's still here, all you do is nag your daughter-in-law, huh!"

Jiang Lin said as he opened the trunk and unloaded the vegetable basket.

Xu Rong laughed and scolded, "You expect me to tell you what to do? Xiao Ye is here as a guest, and you've been dragging her around all day!"

Jiang Lin looked helpless as he placed the vegetable basket containing folding tables and chairs under the eaves.

He put the watermelon knife in the kitchen, then casually brought a plate of food into the main room: "Wash your hands and eat!"

During dinner, Jiang Ye took out the plastic bag containing the money, and Jiang Lin began to report on today's results: "It's 3 yuan a pound, very popular, and many classmates didn't manage to buy any today."

"At this rate, the students from the Communication University could probably buy all the watermelons we have at home."

"Then, the toll was 230, the fuel cost was 338, I brought 300 in the morning, and after deducting some other expenses, I had 700 left."

He pulled out three 100-yuan bills and gave them to his mother, saying, "Here, I'll return the principal to you first, and I'll keep the rest."

"Not bad at all, much better than buying wholesale from home," Xu Rong said with a smile. "Today, those vendors only gave them 5 cents each!"

Jiang Jiahe paused for a moment, then said, "The journey itself took too much to sustain us."

Jiang Lin looked up at his father, his expression calm.

Seeing that his son wasn't as quick to refute as before, Jiang Jiahe's tone softened, sounding more like they were discussing it together: "This is still using Lin Tao's car. If the volume is larger, we'll definitely need to hire trucks. Considering that, can the profit be sustained?"

He no longer harbored any initial opposition; his son was indeed taking action, and now he was simply pointing out the problems he saw.

"And..." He looked at Jiang Ye and expressed more concerns: "Once the volume increases, the two of you alone definitely won't be enough. We'll need to hire people to load the trucks and accompany the trucks, which will be another expense."

It's okay if our son is tired. Jiang Ye is just here to have fun; he's not really going to be a laborer!

If these two get married, won't the girl's parents talk about them for the rest of their lives?

Jiang Lin nodded: "Dad, I've thought about all of that."

"Transportation costs are indeed the biggest loss at present, but there is a policy that can be used on the highway. We can use the green channel to transport watermelons and are exempt from highway tolls."

"Green channel? What is that?" Jiang Jiahe was stunned for a moment. He had been farming for most of his life and couldn't even drive a car, let alone understand this kind of highway policy.

Jiang Lin explained, "This is the national policy for vehicles transporting fresh agricultural products. As long as they meet the requirements, they can be exempted from highway tolls."

Xu Rong's eyes lit up: "Wow, such a good thing exists! Wouldn't that save us a lot of money?"

Jiang Ye had already started checking on his phone: "It's true!"

She turned to look at Jiang Lin, her eyes sparkling. Sure enough, he had thought of everything ahead of her!

"However, the trucks are a problem now."

Jiang Ye chuckled: "Well, I can figure something out for you."

"My dad works in construction, and he has connections with a lot of car fleets."

"Find a delivery truck that happens to be delivering goods, and make an empty return trip. Maybe you can get it done for 800 yuan."

Jiang Lin nodded, having forgotten about that: "Okay, let's discuss it."

Jiang Jiahe: ...

It seems like I'm no longer needed.

Grandpa sipped his wine, a smile on his face.

After the meal, Jiang Lin used Jiang Ye's computer to redesign the label style.

The overall framework hasn't changed much, but there's a new "Green Mountain" pattern on the page, and below each label, there's a barcode consisting of 12 English letters and numbers.

Jiang Ye leaned against his back. "My dad said he'll ask about the car first and get back to me later."

"No rush. If it really doesn't work, we can find a car tomorrow."

"Um."

Why didn't you mention buying a saccharimeter earlier?

Jiang Lin typed on the keyboard: "There's no need to say everything. If you say too much, they'll overthink it and you'll have to explain."

Jiang Ye nodded as if he understood, and scrolled through the posts on Tieba on his phone.

The post about Brother Watermelon's bet has been marked as a featured post, and its popularity remains high at this point.

Because many people who ate the watermelon spontaneously went to the thread to post feedback.

This made many students who missed the first day of the gossip regret their decision and post messages asking if "Watermelon Bro" would be coming again tomorrow.

In addition, there are posts about her, speculating about her relationship with Brother Watermelon.

Although some people guessed that they were a couple, other students quickly refuted this.

After all, in their eyes, there was a gap in their social status; a watermelon seller and a goddess-like senior from a well-off family seemed like an impossible match.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and decided not to reply to the post for the time being.

Today, Zhang Hao showed some respect for the rules, but if someone who doesn't follow the rules comes along, it could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Lin is still just a small stall.

She turned her head. "Should we send a thank-you message?"

Jiang Lin carefully kept the label sticker. "I want it."

"Strike while the iron is hot, and convert the people you follow on Tieba into our customers and build private traffic."

Jiang Ye: "Huh? Customer base? Private domain traffic?"

Jiang Lin was taken aback, forgetting that although there were ways to use private domain traffic at that time, the industry term didn't exist yet.

"This is just something I came up with on my own. Let's create a group and invite those who want to follow the gossip to join. That way, they can say what they need directly in the group, instead of having to post on Tieba and wait for others to reply, like we do now."

"My ideal model for selling watermelons is for people to place orders in the group first, so that we can roughly estimate how many watermelons we will send out."

Jiang Ye nodded in realization, secretly memorizing the term "private domain traffic."

"Then I'll create a group first, and then use your account to post a thank-you message."

Jiang Lin nodded and stood up to give up the computer.

He made a phone call to his roommate.

Jiang Lin studied at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. One of his roommates was a technical talent named Gu Zhengwei.

This guy is one of the few college friends who have kept in touch with him since he fell on hard times.

"Old Gu, I need your help in an emergency."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I currently sell watermelons from home and need to create a webpage for traceability verification."

"It's similar to when we buy RAM sticks."

Gu Zhengwei chuckled, "Dude, does selling watermelons have to be this high-class?"

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Let's differentiate ourselves a bit."

Gu Zhengwei said, "Please describe your requirements briefly."

"I will record the data for each watermelon in an Excel spreadsheet. I will send you a copy of the header format later. The backend will upload the Excel file, store the data in the database, and then the frontend webpage will query the corresponding information using an 8-digit code followed by letters, and record the number of queries and the time."

"Understood, easy, it can be done by noon tomorrow."

Jiang Lin chuckled: "The program is simple, but for now we need your domain name and your server."

"Let's work on it and create a more complete traceability system. That will complete our graduation project."

Gu Zhengwei laughed and cursed, "Well, Boss Jiang, you're already making empty promises?"

"No problem! I'll send you the beta version tomorrow at noon."

Jiang Lin hung up the phone, while Jiang Ye had already sent out the post.

It's very popular, with replies and mentions refreshing at lightning speed.

However, as time ticked by, there was still no response from QQ...

Jiang Ye frowned slightly: "What's wrong? There's not a sound at all?"
