Chapter 388 Misunderstanding of Quantifiers
Liu Wangxue ordered several boxes of honey pomelo, ugly orange, sugar orange, banana, and apple with rock sugar core. While the boss was filling out the form, she reached out and moved the box of cherries in the middle of the stall.
After just a round of shopping, Liu Wangxue noticed that there were only three shops selling cherries in the entire fruit section, and this one looked the freshest.
After the boss filled out the form, she looked up and saw Liu Wangxue's hand had just left the cherries. She thought Liu Wangxue looked like a wealthy man, and that ordering so many fruits at once must be for the technology company with 20 to 30 employees.
I had seen the purchasing boss before, two men, but they didn't come to her stall to buy. They ordered fruits from the store diagonally opposite. Later I heard that they changed to another store.
Not only did they change the staff today, but it was also her family's turn to do the business, which made the boss happy. She guessed that the people were not satisfied with the products of the other two families, otherwise they would not be able to take turns.
Target customers! The boss thought, we must treat them well.
The next second Liu Wangxue asked about the price.
The boss reported the number, picked up two large and plump ones, rinsed them under the faucet behind him, and handed them to Liu Wangxue: "These are all imported, super big fruits, very sweet, you try them first."
The boss was reluctant to eat such expensive fruit. When she opened the box and put the fruits on the table yesterday, she found one that was probably damaged. She washed it, cut off the damaged part, and tasted the remaining half. You know what, it’s expensive for a reason.
Liu Wangxue thanked the boss, took the chocolate and tasted one, then put the other one back into the box.
A customer who was picking tangerines with a plastic bag nearby saw this and said to the boss with a smile: "I come to buy fruit from you every day, but you never give me one to try."
From the tone of voice, it was obvious that he was an acquaintance. The boss responded directly, waving the delivery note in front of the customer: "Sure, if you also order so many at once, don't even mention one, two or three will do!"
The customer handed the selected tangerines to the boss and said, "I don't know if you are referring to me or yourself when you say this."
The boss weighed the food for him and quoted the price, then pinched two tangerines and put them in: "You are stingy and I am snobbish, let's not criticize each other."
Liu Wangxue ate cherries and laughed as she listened to their conversation.
The customer scanned the code and paid: "Let's go."
The boss responded and asked Liu Wangxue: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Liu Wangxue nodded, pointed at the open box in front of her and asked her, "Is this the only box?"
"There are still two boxes that haven't been opened." The boss smiled when he heard it, and whispered to her, "I won't hide it from you. These three boxes arrived yesterday morning. But imported fruits must have been delayed for many days on the road. I can't guarantee that the other two boxes are 100% intact. You buy from them often, so you must know that bumps and bruises are inevitable..."
Moreover, the price is quite high, and it is not very popular in this town, so they just took these three boxes to try. At first, they thought that a box is only five pounds, and there are families in the town who are well-off. Seeing that the other two boxes are not so fresh, but people still buy them, theirs should be OK. Unexpectedly, after putting them on display all day yesterday, they only saw people asking about them, and almost no one buying them. This morning, they picked out a few bad fruits, which made her feel distressed.
When the boss met Liu Wangxue today, he thought she was a purchasing agent. Firstly, he wanted to sell all three boxes quickly and not buy any more. Second, he also thought that maybe he could do business with her for a long time in the future, so he told her everything.
Liu Wangxue nodded to show her understanding. She laughed at herself in her heart. If the boss hadn't said it, she really wouldn't have thought of it. If she found out that the proportion of damage was high after sending it to the delivery place and signing for it, it would always make people a little unhappy.
I've seen people buy cherries online before, just like opening a box. When I got home, I found that half of them were rotten, so Liu Wangxue didn't want to buy them anymore. But the box she opened at the stall looked good, so she decided to buy only this box for her own consumption.
She said: "I understand that wear and tear is normal..."
The boss interrupted her and continued in a low voice: "Don't worry about this. We are a family that does business with integrity. We will definitely not make money by selling inferior goods as good ones. So, when the child's father comes to deliver the goods at noon, you can open and inspect the goods in front of him. If more than 10% of the goods are damaged, I will refund you the money for this part. How about it?"
Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment, pointed at the box in front of him, and said, "Okay, send those two boxes together with the ones we just ordered. Let me weigh this box and I'll take it away."
"Okay, okay." The boss smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Liu Wangxue picked out some other loose items, paid for them all, and went out with the receipt.
Gu Xuelan told her not to buy so much, but there were several craftsmen working at home, and if she bought less, there would not be enough to eat. When all the food was added up, it was quite a lot.
I put some in the trunk of the electric bike, some in the front basket and on the pedals under my feet, and even hung them on the handlebars, and finally I had enough space.
When she got home, Gu Xuelan happened to come out of the kitchen and helped her carry the things down: "I told you to buy less, it's not easy to carry. Anyway, it's close to town, so I'll go there immediately if I need anything. You bought so much."
Liu Wangxue's hands were also full, and she followed her to the kitchen: "They all look fresh, so I couldn't stop. It's close, but what if it rains again in the next few days? It won't be convenient to go."
After cleaning up, Liu Wangxue washed some cherries and blueberries, brought them to the living room, and sat down with Gu Xuelan to eat them.
Gu Xuelan ate a few and continued to embroider her cross-stitch.
This cross stitch is almost finished. She estimated that at her usual speed, it would take more than a week. When it is finished, it will be framed and hung in the living room of the new house. When designing the living room, Liu Wangxue specially asked the designer to reserve a place for it, and the design style is also based on "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
The three of them have been following Liu Wangxue closely since she came back, and when they see her eating fruit, they also make a fuss and want to eat some.
She fed Pengpeng a few blueberries, cut the cherries with a fruit knife, removed the cores, and gave half of each to Xiaoci and Guagua.
After feeding three of them, he took out his phone and sent a message to Xu Qingsong.
I took a photo of the delivery note that the fruit stand owner had just issued and sent it to him: [I bought some fruit. It will be delivered around noon. Can you please sign for it?]
When I was taking the photo, I discovered that the boss had also written about the inspection of the cherries in the notes.
Gu Xuelan looked up and saw Liu Wangxue smiling at the paper, so she asked. Liu Wangxue told her about buying fruit.
After I finished speaking, I received a reply from Xu Qingsong: [My dear fairy, do you have any misunderstanding about the quantifier "a little"? ]
After writing this, I really want to eat cherries and blueberries, so I planned to stop here, turn off the computer and go to the supermarket, but the sky suddenly became overcast and it started to rain heavily... Damn it!!!
