Chapter 5 Selling Vegetables in the Market
Wang Buping got up at around 5 o'clock in the morning. When he went to his home below, his mother knew that her son was going to town, so she got up early and cooked. While Wang Buping was eating, she told him to be careful on the road and pay attention to safety.
Despite his mother's nagging, Wang Buping set off on his journey. Walking along the mountain road, Wang Buping clearly felt that his physical strength was much better than before. It took him three hours to walk on the mountain road, but he finished it in less than two hours. It seemed that he was in good physical condition.
It is still obvious that it has doubled!
When he arrived in the town, Wang Buping thought that he needed to find a buyer for his food. Otherwise, no matter how good the food was, no one would want it. Thinking of this, he decided to use the current food to open up sales. He knew that his food was delicious.
By opening up the market, he won’t be afraid that no one will come to buy his food.
So he walked towards the best hotel in town, holding the vegetables he took out from the space on the way, to see if the hotel could order them.
When we arrived at the hotel, when people heard that he was selling vegetables, they called him to the back hall and took out the tomatoes, radishes, green peppers, and eggplants in the bag.
The chef prepared the dish and tried it. It was indeed delicious, but the price he gave was not what Wang Buping wanted. Wang Buping also knew that a restaurant of this caliber could not charge such high prices.
After leaving the hotel, I thought about it, found a warehouse, rented it for two days, and put all the vegetables in the space except corn.
Then he went straight to the bus station, preparing to go to Qinnan City to sell his vegetables. When he arrived in Qinnan City, he took a taxi and took him to the best hotel in the city. The driver took him to Qinnan Hotel. Wang Buping watched
I really want to remember that this hotel is a five-star hotel. Wang Buping was greeted as soon as he arrived at the hotel.
"Sir, are you eating or looking for someone?" a waiter asked Wang Buping.
"No, I'm here to sell vegetables. Is your person in charge here?"
When the waiter heard that he was a vegetable seller, he didn't look down upon him. He just asked him to wait politely and went to call the manager. After a while, Wang Buyi saw a fat middle-aged man walking over.
First, he gave Wang Buping a business card, and then said: "I am the vegetable purchasing manager of this hotel. My name is Zhu Ming. What vegetables do you want to sell? Have you brought any samples?"
Wang Buping looked at the hotel manager and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Buping, and I brought the sample."
He took out the prepared bag and showed Zhu Ming the vegetables. Zhu Ming looked at the vegetables tomatoes, radishes, green peppers, watermelons, and eggplants in the bag. They were all very big. He took them out and looked at them. He thought they were good, so he let Wang Buping carry them.
Vegetables follow him.
Wang Buping followed Zhu Ming to the back kitchen and saw many chefs busy in their respective positions. At this time, the manager walked over and said something to an older chef.
After a while, the chef followed the manager and asked Wang Buping to follow him with the vegetables. He came to a single kitchen and asked Wang Buping to put the vegetables on the table. The chef stepped forward, opened the bag, looked at it, and then put all the vegetables on the table.
After washing it in the water, he took the watermelon out of the bag and looked at the more than ten kilograms of watermelon. The chef cut the watermelon with a knife, gave a piece to the manager, and took a bite himself.
Wang Buping had eaten watermelons in the space when he was picking them, and they were particularly delicious. The manager and the chef felt sweet when they ate the watermelons, and when they tasted them, they felt gritty and cool. The two looked at each other and exchanged words.
After looking at each other for a moment, they decided tacitly that no matter what the dish was like, the watermelon must be kept.
The chef made several side dishes using the radishes, tomatoes, green peppers, and eggplants that Wang Buping brought. The two of them tasted them. They were very delicious, even better than the special dishes in his own restaurant. They decided that they must win the exclusive rights to these dishes.
Ownership, this will definitely make the business better.
So he took Wang Buping to the office to talk. After discussion with Zhu Ming, Wang Buping finally reached a verbal agreement with Zhu Ming. The hotel purchased vegetables at prices ranging from 5 to 20 yuan, and watermelons at 8 yuan per pound.
Wang Buping wanted to give priority to selling vegetables to Qinnan Hotel at the same price.
After talking about this, Wang Buping told Zhu Ming that there was a batch of vegetables in the town now. From now on, he would provide them with a batch of vegetables every week and would call him to notify him to pick them up. There would also be a batch of vegetables that were a little worse than this in the future.
He asked the restaurant if he wanted it. Zhu Ming told him that he wanted it, but the price would have to be discussed after he tasted the vegetables.
Zhu Ming knew that Wang Buping was coming to buy something like a hydroelectric generator set, so he told Wang Buping to pick him up in the afternoon. After Wang Buping left the hotel, he was going to buy a computer and mobile phone first. When buying the mobile phone, he chose two more numbers.
I bought a wireless signal receiving device, and then activated the wireless Internet package. I then bought a hydroelectric generator set and asked them to deliver it to the hotel. Zhu Ming treated him to a meal at noon.
In the afternoon, we followed the car to the town. Zhu Ming also came, and they went to the warehouse where Wang Buping kept vegetables. After loading the car, Wang Buping looked at the more than 90,000 yuan in his hand and believed that he would be able to develop his hometown well.
He also discussed with Zhu Ming about the vegetables in the future. Wang Buping didn’t know how to deliver the vegetables yet, so he told him to call him.
Thinking about going back tomorrow, I called my former best friend Li Jun to get in touch with him. Li Jun was Wang Buping's classmate from elementary school to high school. However, Li Jun did not go to college and was already married to Wang Buping.
The unhappy high school classmate was named Liu Leilei, and the two opened a small shop in this town.
I dialed the number, and after a while I heard a voice on the phone: "Hey, why did the talented man call me?"
"Why can't I call you? Are you at home? I'm in town now and will go to your house later."
"You're in town! Are you coming home? I'm at home, you're there, I'll pick you up."
"No need to pick me up, I'll buy some things and go to your house later."
"Okay then, you can come over in a minute and come to the store. Leilei and I are staying in the store now."
"Okay, hang up. I'll go over after I buy some things." Wang Buping hung up the phone and prepared to buy things for tomorrow.
He went to a store where he bought farm tools and bought the things he needed. Because there were a lot of things, Wang Buping asked the store owner to use a car to take the things to the warehouse and put them together with the generator.
I went to the store to buy some gifts and then walked to Li Jun's house.
When they arrived at the door of Li Jun's store, Li Jun's daughter-in-law Leilei saw Wang Buping and said, "Buping is here, come in quickly."
Inside, Li Jun almost heard Wang Buping coming and hurried out of the room. Wang Buping handed the things to Liu Leilei and gave Li Jun a bear hug.
"Why are you back? Aren't you looking for a job after graduation?" Li Jun said.
"I haven't found a job. I plan to work at home and won't go out in the future."
Li Jun didn't say anything after hearing what Wang Buping said. He just asked him: "What are you going to do at home? Do you want me to help you?"
"No, I'm going to grow pollution-free vegetables at home."
Li Jun was a little surprised to hear that Wang Buping wanted to grow vegetables at home, but he didn't say anything considering his current employment situation.
Li Jun pulled Wang Buping into the back room and asked his wife to buy some food and wine to have a drink with his best friend.
In the evening, Wang Buping and Li Jun drank wine and talked about some things over the years and the situation of many classmates.
Finally, Li Jun asked Wang Buping why he came back to grow vegetables instead of finding a job in a big city.
Wang Buping said: "It's hard to find a job outside, and you can't make much money. You also know the situation here. There is no pollution, and it is very suitable for growing vegetables. Nowadays, people in the city do not have to eat green and pollution-free healthy food."
, so I came back to grow these pollution-free vegetables.”
"Then how do you transport it out? You have no way." Li Jun asked.
"Now I have to use people to pick them. In the future, I plan to build a ropeway on the cliff, and the water can also be used for small boats, so it can be transported by ship. Anyway, there are not many plants now."
Li Jun stopped asking after hearing this. While chatting with Wang Buping about some people and events over the years, something suddenly occurred to him.
He said to Wang Buping: "Our squad leader is planning to hold a party in October this year. Do you want to go?"
Wang Buping thought for a while and realized that many of his classmates had not been seen for several years. Anyway, he was going to visit them at home. He said to Li Jun: "Okay, you will inform me when you do it. I am now growing vegetables at home and will not go out.
Let’s go see our old classmates.”
Wang Buping was a little dizzy after drinking, so he stayed at Li Jun's house.
Early the next morning, Wang Buping got up and watched Li Jun get up and open the shop. After washing, he told Li Jun that he had something to do today and would not stay any longer.
After bidding farewell to Li Jun, Wang Buping went out to find a small truck, went to the rented warehouse, loaded all his things into the truck, and prepared to transport them to the dirt road, waiting for his father to bring someone to pick them back.
