After eating their fill and seeing enough, the group felt a little embarrassed and decided to take some back for their elders to try.

Jiang Shuya then handed each of them a gift box and asked them to pick some fruit. One of them cut a bunch, but found that half of it was still green and didn't want it anymore. Jiang Shuya said, "It's okay if you don't want this bunch. But when you cut the next bunch, make sure to check if both sides are ripe before you start. Or I can help you cut them. I'll cut a whole box for each of you and pack it up for you so it's easy to carry."

All three were worried that they had picked unripe fruit, so they readily nodded and waited. After a while, Jiang Shuya quickly picked more than a dozen bunches, weighed them, and they weighed a little over 30 jin (15 kg). They were packaged in gift boxes and charged 5 yuan each, so the total came to 180 yuan.

The three girls initially regretted not negotiating the price, but after hearing Jiang Shuya say that the price for picking and eating grapes wasn't included, it was still a good deal, they didn't say anything more. Looking at the packaged grape gift box, they left satisfied and full of grapes, and even asked to take a photo with Jiang Shuya before leaving.

In just a few days, the harvest was meager. Most of the customers who came to pick fruit on Sunday were families with children. A few families made online reservations, along with two couples, and in total, they only sold a little over 80 jin (40 kg), earning a little over 400 yuan. After handing the money over to her mother-in-law, Jiang Shuya looked at the weather forecast for Monday. It was going to rain lightly, still not good. She sighed inwardly, thinking that they really had to rely on the weather for their livelihood.

On Monday morning, the weather was indeed foggy. Jiang Shuya was still unwilling to give up and decided to pick another ten boxes to cross the river to sell. Thinking that she hadn't sold as much as she had in the past two days, she realized that door-to-door picking was not cost-effective. Not only were the vineyards trampled, but some people would also take advantage of people's inattention to hang the unsatisfactory fruit on the trees. And there were quite a few of them. So she decided not to set up a stall at the station anymore. Knowing that her fruit was not good, she didn't want to be judged and criticized by others, which would ruin her online promotion.

Thanks to yesterday's gesture of goodwill, her mother-in-law took the initiative to bring Tangtang today without showing any displeasure. Knowing her mother-in-law's character, Jiang Shuya didn't hold it against her. There was no point in holding it against her anyway, since it wouldn't do her any good if things turned sour. She took her basket and busied herself picking grapes in the field.

Everything was ready. Wearing a raincoat, she braved the drizzle and arrived at Gate A of Software Avenue, dusty and tired. The grapes had just been unloaded when she saw two or three people coming out. Just like the previous times, Jiang Shuya skillfully took out samples for the people to taste. She thought to herself, who cares about the appearance or selling points, as long as it tastes good.

I heard that the grapes were all naturally grown without pesticides, and more and more people started to try them. Most of those who asked about the price were still buying them for 50 yuan a box. When there were only two boxes left, a security guard in uniform came up and shouted, "Who gave you permission to sell here? Who gave you the guts? Take them away right now!"

Caught off guard, Jiang Shuya was somewhat flustered. She forced a smile and handed over the bag of grapes, but the security guard remained cold and hostile, ignoring her. He stepped forward and kicked over the two boxes of grapes, about to step on them, when Jiang Shuya pushed him away. Seeing the situation was not good, she quickly picked up the two boxes of grapes and was about to leave when Jiang Shuting ran over and politely exchanged a few words with the security guard. The security guard was still unforgiving and still angrily wanted to complain about Jiang Shuting.

Standing to the side, Jiang Shuya was afraid that things would escalate and implicate her, so she pulled Jiang Shuting away.

Looking at the two boxes of grapes in her arms, Jiang Shuting smiled and said, "I promised to bring these for my colleagues, and this is perfect."

Jiang Shuting felt a little disappointed because she hadn't been able to help much, but she still told the truth: she had been reported for selling grapes here before, and the security guard hadn't come a few days ago, so no one cared. The company gives out Jiangdao grapes as a summer bonus every year, and some people couldn't stand it and secretly reported it. Although she was a little disappointed, she hadn't been able to sell them for more than a few days.

Jiang Shuya waved her hand dismissively, "It's okay. If this place doesn't work, we'll just go to the next one. There's nothing to be sad about. Jiangdao grapes are so famous, they won't go unsold."

Seeing her sister encouraging her, Jiang Shuting smiled, picked up the two boxes of grapes, and said goodbye.

Upon returning, I began to ponder where to go next. The weather had been bad for the past few days, with heavy rain at night. It wasn't until the fourth day that the weather cleared up. Once the sun came out, the ripe grapes would burst open due to the excessive rain, making them unsellable. Fortunately, the first batch had already been mostly harvested.

On the same day, she received two orders, one box to be delivered to Jiangning and the other to Anshan. Jiang Shuya had to ask her younger brother for help. Jiang Shuhuai made one trip to Anshan and she went to Jiangning herself. That evening, she received the money for the two boxes of grapes from her sister via Alipay transfer. By this time, Alipay was widely used.

After calculating my earnings over this period, I realized I was only a few dozen yuan short of my goal, so I decided not to rush it.

On Saturday morning of the second week, when I arrived at the vineyard, I saw that the vineyard and the ditches were full of water. Looking at the ripe grapes, I realized that the second batch had also ripened. That's really fast!

Every day was different. Although they didn't set up a stall at the exhibition point on the weekend, they still received some calls for people to come and pick fruit. Jiang Shuya called the old man to go to the vineyard with her to watch the people picking fruit and gave them some friendly reminders. They received wave after wave of customers.

To her surprise, more and more people were asking about the Grape Fairy at the exhibition point, mostly young people. Jiang Shuya didn't know this at first, but she overheard it while waiting for tourists in the square. When she came to her senses, she realized that the people looking for her were actually herself. There were promotional photos of her on the website, and those people were inexplicably trusting her after comparing her to the photos. This was truly the power of the internet.

Because of the good weather, there were significantly more people this weekend than last week. The people at the family's vineyard were sometimes unable to keep up with the demand, so Jiang Shuya called Shuhuai to help out. Most of the people who bought grapes would ask Jiang Shuya for recommendations on where to find farm-style meals. Since her family didn't cook farm-style meals, she saw that the Cao family on the left, the Wang family on the right, and the Luo family across the street all had them. In the end, she led the people to Wang Hongjuan's house because she wasn't familiar with the other two. Most of these tourists wanted to eat farm-style dishes, river delicacies, free-range chicken, and the like, for an authentic experience.

Originally, Jiang Shuya didn't want to set up a stall at the station, but since most of the customers came from the website, she still decided to put up a sign on the outermost side of the square: "Grape Fairy". When the stall owners saw the sign, they suddenly realized that she was the "Grape Fairy".

The busy weekend passed quickly. After doing the math, I realized that I sold over 600 jin of grapes in the past two days, earning more than 3,000 yuan.

I gave my mother-in-law a total of three thousand yuan, and then used the remaining money to order 200 gift boxes at the ferry terminal.
