Chapter 12 First Battle: 4000 Jin of Watermelon!

It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Jiang Ye had already excitedly walked out of the house with his computer in hand.

She pushed Jiang Lin further into the sofa bed and sat cross-legged beside him.

"Look!"

Jiang Lin yawned and rubbed his eyes. Jiang Ye had already opened the group joining verification interface, which was full of verification information, and the mouse wheel couldn't even reach the bottom.

"Good heavens, this is way too much!"

She exclaimed in surprise, agreeing to join the group with a radiant smile.

In a short period of time, the number of people in the group has reached 323.

"Watermelon Bro, you're going to bed way too early!"

"Exactly, we joined the group at 11 p.m. last night, and it only just got approved now."

Are the first 50 slots still available?

"Hehe, you joined the group today expecting some perks!"

"That's all, that's all!"

"Haha, thank goodness I didn't have military training!"

"Pre-order: 1 piece, crispy, Nanyuan Building 3, mobile number 187XXXXXXXX"

"We plan to reserve eight dormitories for faculty and staff."

"Can the teachers from the neighboring Normal University place orders? We need about 20 here."

"Wow, that's a big order!"

The message scrolling speed is astonishing.

Jiang Lin looked at the ever-increasing numbers and the explosive information, and his heart was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

He was indeed mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to ferment so fiercely overnight!

After a night of reflection and word-of-mouth, all the news now flowed like a torrent into his private plot.

Although it was unintentional, his verification behavior yesterday was actually a form of scarcity marketing.

Most people didn't get to eat it; they just heard their classmates raving about how delicious it was.

In this situation, coupled with the natural boost of the hot weather during military training, it would be hard for him not to become popular!

Jiang Lin suppressed his excitement, "Let's add all the group members in first."

"good!"

Jiang Lin quickly sent a message:

"Please don't flood the screen yet, let's first tally up the reservation information."

"If you have pre-orders, you can send your requirements, just follow the format above, including your phone number, quantity, taste, and approximate building."

He updated the group announcement to ensure that everyone who joins the group can see the pre-ordered format as soon as possible.

Subsequently, people in the group took the initiative to form a pre-arranged chain of numbers, following the established format.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Ye pulled up an Excel spreadsheet and pasted in rows one by one, according to the format of nickname, phone number, quantity, taste, and building. Her heart was pounding with excitement.

Jiang Lin rode his electric scooter out to print labels.

When Jiang Ye returned, his spreadsheet contained a total of 433 watermelons.

However, the messages about reservations in the group haven't stopped.

He checked the time. "9 o'clock. We'll close at 9 o'clock."

"If this continues, it might exceed our capacity to handle it!"

Jiang Ye nodded hurriedly, feeling completely bewildered.

The students' enthusiasm is terrifying!

At nine o'clock, Jiang Lin quickly issued a notice announcing the deadline for reservations.

"Thank you for your support. Currently, the first batch of orders has exceeded our capacity. We cannot guarantee that everyone who has pre-ordered will receive their watermelon, so we have to temporarily suspend accepting new orders!"

Just after this announcement, two more pre-order announcements followed.

Jiang Lin quickly posted two more messages using Watermelon Bro's account: "Deadline! Deadline!"

Thank you everyone!

Jiang Ye entered the last two data points into an Excel spreadsheet. As she dragged the data down, she instinctively gasped.

"Guess how many there will be in the end?"

Her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Before Jiang Lin could answer, she couldn't help but blurt out the number: "533!"

Our group chat is almost full!

"Is it that scary?!"

Jiang Lin also gasped.

Saying 533 might not be a very powerful concept.

But if we convert it to a weight of 7 jin (3.5 catties) for a watermelon, that would be a full 3500 jin (1250 catties), and in reality, it would be even more than that!

Xu Rong, who had been watching the two young people busy so early in the morning, came over when she saw that they seemed a little more relaxed.

"Are you this busy so early in the morning?"

"Actually, we're not in a rush to sell our watermelons."

"Xiao Ye, why don't you go out and have some fun with Jiang Lin today? There are several scenic spots around here."

Jiang Ye turned to Xu Rong and asked, "Auntie, do you know how many watermelons we've ordered and sent out?"

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment. "Reservation?"

"You two have been busy all morning, just for this?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ye's voice was quite loud. "The students and teachers at the school ordered 533 watermelons from us!"

"5...500?"

"Really...really!"

Xu Rong was so shocked she couldn't speak. 500! Those merchants might only buy that many at a time!

The two little ones just fiddled with the computer for a bit and ordered 500 items?

She turned to her son: "How are we going to deliver these 500?"

A hint of seriousness appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes.

Orders are pouring in, but that's nothing to worry about.

The most crucial task is to deliver each and every one of these nearly two tons of watermelons to the person who placed the order!

Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is your uncle busy lately?"

"I'll call and ask. Your uncles leased a mountain to grow oranges two years ago. The sun has been strong lately, so it should be alright."

Jiang Lin nodded. He found a USB drive and copied all the stickers he had designed yesterday and the tables that Jiang Ye had compiled into it: "I'll go print the labels first. Jiang Ye, you contact the truck. I estimate the watermelons will weigh around 4000 jin. The two of us will go with the truck. We need to use the green channel. Tell Uncle Chen about all of this. He definitely knows better than us how to arrange the truck."

"Then we'll contact your school's work-study department. We need 10 part-time students to help cut and distribute watermelons on-site. It'll be 50 yuan per person, and they should be very willing to do it."

"good!"

Jiang Lin's mind raced, trying to consider every single detail.

This is completely different from yesterday's attempt!

These 500 watermelons are the real test for him today!

He wanted to arrange everything properly!

He rode his electric scooter to the print shop, opened the order form, and started filtering directly by address. Instead of blindly dividing the area into zones, he drew a rough sketch on paper based on his memory of the layout of the university town and finally decided on five pick-up locations.

After allocating the information in the table, all the serial numbers and labels were matched and relabeled.

After printing the labels, I got home an hour later.

Jiang Ye started sending a message: "Uncle Chen arranged a car for us that will arrive at 11:30, but it needs to leave before 1 o'clock. He just wants us to pay 800 yuan for gas."

"The school staff are all set, and they've given me their contact information."

Jiang Lin nodded and checked the time: "It's 10:20 now, less than an hour left. It's a bit rushed, but we should make it."

Xu Rong also informed Jiang Lin of the phone call's outcome: "Your three uncles have arrived; they've been driving motorcycle taxis these past few days."

"OK!"

"Dad, come here for a second."

Let me explain my thought process.

"I still select the watermelons. I label them and then sort them. I match the labels on the watermelons with the information on these five lists and divide them into five batches. When the truck arrives, they are loaded onto the truck, but we also need to make some separation according to this distinction."

"Mom, when Uncle comes over later, tell them that everyone should take one."

"Honey, you'll come with me. You'll be in charge of taking photos and keeping track of the messages in the group chat."

At this moment, Jiang Ye no longer cared about Jiang Lin's perfectly natural way of addressing her as his wife in front of her family. She nodded and said, "No problem!"

"Let's get started!"
