I quickly got into the van and hugged the stacked baskets a few times. They felt a lot lighter. Two of the baskets even fell to one side and the oranges inside spilled out...
"Who stole this? It's all money!"
Seeing the two guys' visibly bulging bellies, Li Zhe felt extremely distressed. At least a few hundred dollars of grandma's were chewed, which was a heavy loss. If I had known this, I would have fed them at home. After all, oranges are now sold more than pork. The price is still too high.
After another hour of busy greening, the morning market ended. The crowds of people visiting the market gradually dispersed, leaving almost 150 kilograms of oranges left.
"Forget it, pull it back and try again!"
Li Zhe is already very satisfied with this morning's results. He sold more than 500 kilograms of oranges and received 10,000 yuan!
For farmers in mountain villages, this is a huge income, it is unbelievable!
Not counting the damage done by two dogs. If my mother knew that these two dogs chewed hundreds of dollars worth of food, there would probably be dog meat for dinner.
Dahuang and Dahei the Tibetan Mastiff both shuddered and looked at each other in confusion.
…
Micaixuan is a specialty hotel. It was even rated as one of the first Michelin-starred restaurants in China last year, and it is also well-known in Jiangcheng.
In the general manager's office, Mi Yun, who was reviewing the bill, raised her head and looked at the catering supervisor in front of her with some surprise: "You said that the guests are rushing to order the orange fruit plate, how many servings per person, and it is out of stock... There are not enough oranges in the kitchen now? "
Catering supervisor Zhou Dequan shook his head quickly: "There are plenty of oranges in the kitchen, but the oranges they want are the ones you bought this morning, manager... a total of one hundred kilograms, which is almost used up."
Mi Yun nodded, remembering the batch of oranges she ordered from the morning market during her morning run. She tasted them and found that they were really delicious, so she asked the waiter to buy them.
"Manager, where did you get the goods from? I'll send someone to get another batch. Many old VIP customers are clamoring for more and even want to pack them. I serve them other oranges, and some people just throw them into the trash can... …”
Zhou Dequan wiped his forehead and secretly sighed in his heart.
Having been a catering supervisor for more than ten years, this was the first time he encountered such a magical orange. He was curious and tasted one, but then he couldn't help but secretly nibbled a few more. It was so cold and delicious, and he was so energetic that he couldn't stop eating it at all. Don't come down!
If it weren't for his professional ethics, he would have wanted to chew a few kilograms alone to satisfy his cravings.
“What’s the price of the orange compote today?”
"It's still 88 per plate, a little over a pound per plate, with some other fruits. Now there are only a few kilograms left, and I can't hold it anymore..."
"Every customer who ate the orange fruit plate today was full of praise. Even Boss Yue had a huge appetite and said he would come here to eat oranges every day in the future!"
Mi Yun's eyes lit up when she heard the name Boss Yue. She knew that he had severe anorexia.
"Wait a minute, I'll contact the boss who buys oranges and ask him to send some over."
Mi Yun picked up the phone and dialed the number Li Zhe left for her in the morning.
"Hello, are you Mr. Li who is buying oranges?"
"Yes, I'm buying oranges. We met in the morning and bought a hundred catties of oranges... Well, I need them today. I need three hundred catties, and I need them tomorrow... OK, I will contact you in advance as to how much I need."
After hanging up the phone for a while, Mi Yun still had a strange look on her face. She glanced at Zhou Dequan and muttered: "It's been a long time since I was personally responsible for purchasing the goods. Why are all the fruit farmers nowadays acting like uncles, saying that they don't have time to pick them?" , I only have one hundred and fifty kilograms left, do you want it? The supply of oranges tomorrow depends on whether there is time..."
"Ah, it's still like this." Zhou Dequan was also a little surprised, "General fruit farmers are very enthusiastic when they hear that Mi Caixuan is looking for cooperation with them. The boss has encountered something strange."
But thinking that their oranges were so delicious, I didn’t say much. He also wanted to solve the purchase problem so that he could eat a few every day in the future.
…
It was already noon when I drove home in a broken van. The two dogs were very hungry and howling.
Li Zhe felt a little hungry after feeling his belly, so he slipped out the hare that Dahuang caught yesterday and prepared to make a stir-fried rabbit meat.
This adult hare is quite heavy. It weighs several kilograms even if the fur is removed. It is enough for a family to eat. When cooked with more chilies and vinegar, it will definitely taste delicious.
The parents were a little stupid when they took the thick wad of money from the oranges sold by Li Zhe. They counted the money for a long time, and it turned out to be 10,800!
Li Zhe was frying rabbit meat in full swing, and the two of them kept asking questions for a long time. They found out that his son bought oranges at a black-hearted price of 20 per catty, and they were a little unbelievable.
It was difficult to explain, but just then Mi Yun turned on the phone.
After answering the phone, Li Zhe glanced at the two barking dogs squatting behind him and shouted: "Mom, come and help me cook. A restaurant has ordered the remaining oranges and asked me to deliver them as soon as possible."
"Okay, wait a minute."
My mother washed her hands and looked at the huge Tibetan Mastiff squatting in the kitchen taking up the aisle. She couldn't help complaining: "There is no use for such a big dog at home except as a food bucket. Why don't you find a dog dealer and sell it?" , estimated to sell for several hundred.”
Feeling the malice in the air, the Tibetan Mastiff's ears drooped even more, and he cautiously hid behind the big yellow dog.
Li Zhe was startled: "Mom, this is a Tibetan mastiff. It's very expensive. They just keep it in our house for a few days. Don't mess around with it. There are hundreds of thousands of purebred Tibetan mastiffs, not local dogs like Dahuang." , you can’t afford to lose money if you sell it.”
Dahuang on the side seemed to understand, and immediately let out a dissatisfied whine, as if protesting against Li Zhe's 'racial discrimination'.
Li Weiguo walked into the kitchen: "Xiaozhe, give me your address and I'll go deliver it. I really don't believe that oranges can be sold for twenty yuan a catty."
Dad wanted to confirm, and Li Zhe felt relaxed and gave him his address and contact number. Anyway, the price has been negotiated in advance, and the same goes for Dad’s delivery.
"Call this number when you get to the place and wait for the payment." Li Zhe ordered and continued to fry rabbit meat.
'Beep Beep Boop' is almost cooked, and the rich and attractive meat aroma spreads. The two dogs can't stop salivating, licking their mouths and wandering back and forth.
Half an hour later, Li Weiguo drove a van to Mi Caixuan.
Looking at the spectacular artificial rockery fountain in front of Mi Caixuan and the various luxury cars parked at the door, Li Weiguo felt a little scared and muttered: "Is this really this place?"
After finding a place to park the car, he took out his mobile phone and started making a call: "Hello, hello, I'm delivering oranges... Yes, it's right at the door..."
Soon, Zhou Dequan, who was wearing a smart suit, ran out with two guys. When he saw Li Weiguo next to the van, he went to greet him.
"Hello, I am Mi Caixuan's catering supervisor. Have you brought all the oranges?"
Zhou Dequan's anxious forehead was covered with sweat. Just now, another big boss got angry, saying that the shabby restaurant was not even willing to supply oranges, and he would not come to eat in the future.
Damn it, is this still an orange? It’s just big smoke!
Li Weiguo nodded, opened the car door, and pointed to a few bamboo baskets inside: "They are all here. Do you need me to send them to you?"
"No, no, no, we can just be on our own."
Zhou Dequan stepped forward, picked an orange from the bamboo basket, opened it and tasted it. It tasted like this. After confirming that the orange was the same as the previous batch, he called the two waiters to move it to the kitchen.
After eating an orange, Zhou Dequan felt refreshed. He took out an envelope and stuffed it into Li Weiguo, "According to the previous price, one hundred and fifty kilograms, three thousand yuan. I won't weigh it anymore. We all trust each other. There are three in it." One thousand and five hundred, five hundred will be considered as hard work, you count, the faster we will cooperate in the future, remember to contact the boss in the evening, I will go to work first."
After borrowing money, Li Weiguo was stunned for a long time and counted the money in the envelope. Three thousand five hundred and ten cents was quite a lot.
“Is the market going well this year, or is it so bad that all the chicken feathers are flying to the sky?”
Secretly smacking his lips, last year the purchase price was only 1.5 yuan per kilogram, but now it is 20 yuan. The increase is too exaggerated.
After thinking for a long time, Li Weiguo guessed that his son should be acquainted with people in the hotel, and the acquaintances were taking care of business. This was the only explanation.
In Mi Caixuan, Mi Yun personally entertained the guests.
Those who can spend money here are either rich or expensive, and as soon as they promoted it, WeChat Moments and so on, many new customers soon came into the store to try these oranges.
Boss Yue, who was anorexic, got his wish and ate two more plates of oranges. Next, he ate an unprecedented amount of food. He was very satisfied and said he would come again in the evening.
"Boss, we need to buy tomorrow's oranges in advance. If we keep this up, we will be able to attract a lot of customers in a few days. Many customers have even applied for membership cards."
Zhou Dequan's eyes are already gleaming, and he feels that this month's performance commission is expected to increase a lot.
The others were happy, but Li Zhe was a little sore. He saved some of the fried rabbit meat for lunch, and fed the rest to the two dogs.
He had no choice but to catch another pheasant from the cage...
Li Weiguo came back happily. After the family had lunch, Li Zhe took Rhubarb and Tibetan Mastiff to the back mountain.
Looking at nearly a hundred orange trees, he had a headache, but thinking about Mi Caixuan's order, these are all money, he secretly encouraged himself, and then started to carry water, purify it with jade bottles, and water the trees!
The two dogs followed him stupidly, wagging their heads and wagging their tails. Li Zhe couldn't help but go up and kick them: "Are you stupid? Why don't you go to the back mountain to catch rabbits and pheasants? If you catch them, you will have food to eat at night. If you can't catch them, You can only drink water, don’t even think about eating meat..."
Dahuang was now incredibly smart. After being kicked twice, he ran towards the mountains with the Tibetan Mastiff. The Tibetan Mastiff followed behind him and became his little brother.
There are no dangerous things in these mountains, at least Li Zhe has never encountered them since he was a child.
Hare, pheasant, robe, fox, weasel, bamboo rat, field mouse... there is definitely a lot of random game, and there is absolutely no pressure on the two big guys, and there is no need to worry about danger.
After working hard for almost three hours, I finally watered all the orange trees with the 'spiritual water' processed from the Jade Pure Bottle, and sat down to rest comfortably under the trees.
As expected, the orange tree began to undergo astonishing changes as it did yesterday, and was quickly stimulated...
Li Zhe picked an orange and ate it comfortably, and his heart began to swirl.
Look at the oranges that have grown up today. If they were all picked, they would weigh seven to eight thousand kilograms. According to the current sales method, wouldn't it be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Thinking of this, he took out the jade purification bottle in his pocket and kissed it a few times. It's a treasure of the fairy family, and it will all depend on it to make him rich in the future.
"Woof woof woof!"
There was a barking of dogs in the distance. It turned out that Rhubarb was running back with a hare in its mouth. The Tibetan Mastiff running behind him had something wrong with his running posture, as if something was wrapped around his body.
When it ran in, Li Zhe was startled when he saw it clearly. He jumped away quickly and shouted: "Stop, stop, don't come over, damn, get out of here!"
It turned out that the Tibetan Mastiff had a python as thick as a small arm wrapped around its body. However, at this time, seven inches of the python was bitten by the Tibetan Mastiff. It was probably before it died that it wanted to entangle the dog to death.
The Tibetan Mastiff's mouth was full of blood, and he stood behind Dahuang with his head tilted. The dog's face was full of confusion, like a mentally retarded person.
After finding that the snake was completely dead, Li Zhe felt a little relieved. He thought that there was still such a thing in the back mountain. It was the first time for him to see such a big snake. At the same time, he was sweating profusely. This big black man really risked his life just to eat meat. Beat him to death!
Seeing that it was getting late, he took his two dogs home. When Li Weiguo saw the python, he was also startled. He muttered that snake gall is a good thing. He took out the snake gall with a knife. It was the size of a quail egg and was blue. .
The python carcass looked so chilling that the whole family did not dare to eat the snake meat. However, if people don't eat, dogs don't have to eat. If you peel off the skin and cut the meat, the two dogs will have enough food for a few days.
