Chapter 1481: Strawberries

Today was the first day of the May Day holiday, and there weren't many tourists, but there were always a hundred or so.

The proprietress looked at the big water cups being sold one by one—if there were no accidents, even if they brought their own cups, they would eventually buy a bigger one.

Today, not counting digging for wild vegetables, just selling cups earned a thousand yuan. Where was this an operating income that her small rural shop dared to think about? Their village secretary was really a capable person!

This holiday had 5 days. If it was like this every day, how happy would it be!

Secretary Xiao Zhu held her tea cup and laughed: "Not necessarily. Those who play well today might come again in a few days. Some young people will post guides online. Those who have seen them estimate that they have brought their own water cups."

So, big water cups can be sold, but if you want to compare with today, there might be a small fluctuation.

The proprietress only regretted for a moment, and soon became happy again: "No matter what, just this alone can earn 500 a day. They don't have this number when they go to the Song family to pick tea. I'm satisfied anyway!"

Satisfied is good.

These hundred people had about forty families, buying a total of nearly a thousand jin of vegetables. The cheapest bamboo shoots were 6 yuan, and the most expensive tender peas were 35 a jin. Calculating it, almost every family that still had people in the village earned money.

Very good!

Secretary Xiao Zhu was also in high spirits. When she went to the county and city to report work as a representative, she also had light on her face. At this moment, looking at her mobile phone, she asked:

"Auntie, do you know the cooperative farmer of the Song family, that Tian Tian? She is coming to sell strawberries. She is selling them at your door."

This was next to the activity square of the community, full of cars. Everyone wanted to leave and couldn't avoid it, so Secretary Xiao Zhu had this arrangement. If it weren't for the fact that the villagers' own vegetables were fresher, she would have wanted to leave some space here to set up a stall centrally.

The proprietress waved her hand: "The square isn't mine, whatever. Tian Tian is a really good girl. I remember she had a blind date with Zhou Maozhu's son before? Oh my! These men now, why don't they like such a down-to-earth and hardworking little girl?"

Secretary Xiao Zhu laughed. This kind of thing depends on fate. It's not to say who is good or who is not good, so they must be able to look at each other. Besides, she was a village secretary, and it would be bad if she chatted about this kind of idle talk and made the villagers feel uncomfortable.

She didn't answer, just drank tea silently.

"Why didn't they look at each other?" Suddenly, two people poked their heads out of a car in the parking lot: "Auntie, why don't you continue?"

"By the way, Secretary Zhu, you were chatting about the cooperative farmer selling strawberries. Are the strawberries delicious?"

Secretary Xiao Zhu laughed: "Delicious! Same quality as our vegetables—hey?"

She stared at the garlic sprouts they were organizing from the car: "Big sister, where did you get these garlic sprouts? Did you buy them in our village?"

"Right!" The mother and son tourists were quite happy: "It's the seller recommended by your scan code. Doesn't her family have bamboo shoots? I saw the garlic sprouts were quite tender, so I bought some... what's wrong?"

Secretary Xiao Zhu laughed: "The quality of these vegetables is good and bad. The better ones are sold more expensively, and if they are ordinary, they are ordinary market prices. I'm afraid you bought them expensively—how are these garlic sprouts sold?"

She was slightly nervous in her heart, because not all vegetables were bred by the Song family, so the quality difference was very large.

Then this garlic sprout wasn't in their catalog. It should be that someone in the village specifically left old garlic seedlings, and they slowly drew out tender sprouts in the spring.

At the beginning, they were strictly registered and tasted. If someone used ordinary vegetables to sell at a high price to make up the number, it would be the reputation of their entire village that would be ruined.

The tourist laughed: "Oh my! You repeated the big red letters in the instructions three times, I definitely saw them—it's not the other party's fault, I insisted on buying them myself, I broke them myself, same price as the supermarket."

She also quite appreciated the clearly marked prices in this village, and at this moment showed another bag: "Look, her family also planted broad beans, I got some tender ones, and they aren't expensive."

Secretary Xiao Zhu felt relieved. Seeing that this pair of mother and son were not very sensitive to spending money, she actively promoted again: "That's good, that's good. The strawberry quality later is really good, and you should be able to taste them. If you like them, you can buy more."

Just as she was saying this, the roar of a motorcycle came from afar. Tian Tian and her younger brother Tian Ye arrived.

"Secretary Zhu!" After a period of time, Tian Tian was tanned again, but her spirit was exceptionally good. At this moment, she probably took a look and didn't say anything about sending them strawberries, just letting Tian Ye quietly move the Song family's things over first.

Then she looked at the two strangers who were staring at her, and Tian Tian smiled enthusiastically, opened a separate box, took out a strawberry, and then cut it in half with a small knife:

"Sister, want to taste our family's strawberries? 40 a jin, worth this price! It doesn't matter if you don't like it after tasting."

The price of 40 really surprised the two. There were strawberry bases near the local city, and in this spring-blooming season, it really belonged to the big clearance.

But the rich fragrance of the strawberries had already been emitted, and the ten-year-old son took it without hesitation: "Mom! Delicious! Better than the ones bought during the New Year!"

During those few days of the New Year, the strawberries they ate were also forty or fifty yuan a jin, red and big, but biting down... in short, just like that. If you have to say it, it's that the strawberry flavor is insufficient.

The struggle was only for a moment, and the other party quickly made a decision: "One jin per box? Give me two, take 4 boxes!"

After buying them happily, they took out their mobile phones to pay, and also said to their son: "We'll each have a box, I'll share a box with your dad, and then give a box to your grandpa and grandma—Grandma lives too far away, so we won't send it."

The son was a bit conflicted: "Can't we share a box with Dad?"

The proprietress of the small shop watched Tian Tian nimbly pack and collect money, and then listened to the amount of the payment reminder. At this moment, she was stunned:

What? Are they all so willing to spend money now?

There were those who were willing, and of course there were those who were not. Later, tourists also came to buy big water cups, bargaining for a 5 yuan difference, and tasted the strawberries for two or three rounds—fortunately, the big guy Tian Ye had a heart, cutting one strawberry into several pieces.

Finally, carrying the cup with resentment and hesitation: "These strawberries are so expensive, it's a bit of a rip-off... forget it, since we're here, I want half a jin, you can't be short of weight."

Tian Tian looked at the remaining few boxes of strawberries and smiled helplessly: "Sorry, Auntie, if I sell half a jin, it won't be easy for others to buy later... I'll come again tomorrow, or you can come back to buy when you have time."

Just as she was saying this, two more tourists rushed down from the mountain: "Only these five boxes left?"

"Yes." Tian Tian hesitated: "Didn't you guys buy them just now?"

"Don't mention it, there are many people, adults and children finished eating in a while, it makes my heart bleed—buy three, forget it, give them all to me."

Tian Tian smiled at the previous customers, and Tian Ye shook the bag on the side and hurriedly handed the strawberries over.
