The tone of the second sentence was clearly one of surprise.
Xu Milu laughed and grabbed a bunch of ping-pong grapes to show her. Against the backdrop of the dark green grape leaves, the black grapes looked even bigger and rounder, like little black pearls.
"Wow, it's so big! It looks like a model. And do cherries come in seedless varieties?"
The eldest sister was very surprised and couldn't help but examine it closely.
Xu Milu patted the little girl's head and explained:
"Yes, the new variety of seedless cherries, and these Ping Pong grapes, are all seedless, so it's okay to give them to children to supplement their vitamin C intake."
The older woman looked amazed and took several pictures of the ping-pong grapes and egg cherries on the stall with her phone, not noticing that the little girl had been eating the egg cherries for a long time, her face covered in sticky juice.
"Oh dear! My little darling, you ate it before it was even washed!"
The little girl smiled shyly, revealing a few tiny teeth: "Grandma, Guoguo is so sweet."
Seeing how well-behaved her granddaughter was, the woman's heart melted. Without even asking the price, she asked Xu Milu to give her two cases.
Xu Milu kindly reminded her, "Sister, cherries don't keep well. Why don't you buy a little less to try? Two boxes is ten pounds."
The eldest sister shook her head, saying nonchalantly:
"You have no idea how difficult it is to please my granddaughter. She usually refuses to eat any fruit or vegetables. It's so rare for her mother to beg her to eat a single bite. Now that she finally likes to eat, I have to buy more."
She looked at the Ping Pong grapes again and readily said, "Take four boxes of these too. It's almost the holiday and we need to give gifts. I think these grapes are quite good."
This is a really big customer; they spent several thousand dollars on fruit without batting an eye.
Xu Milu was secretly amazed. She was still thinking of sending the person to the car, but who knew that this woman would wave her hand and make a phone call to summon her family's driver.
Xu Milu: "..."
Excuse me, it was poverty that limited her imagination.
It turns out that every place has its own "sweeping monk".
Thinking of the pile of supermarket business cards in her older sister's office, Xu Milu went along with it and grabbed a large bunch of grapes from the box, asking the little girl to hold them, and said sweetly:
"Sister, if you think our company's fruit is good, please help me promote it. It's not easy for college students like us to start our own businesses, is it?"
The older sister suddenly realized, and then laughed:
"You young people really know how to think creatively. Are you using me as a walking advertisement? Let me tell you, the holiday is coming soon, and there will be a lot of people buying fruit these days, and supermarkets will be doing a lot of shopping. Most of them will come around this time. Be smart, prepare some nice packaging, and go to the big supermarkets more often, and that should be enough."
This was a helpful suggestion. Xu Milu's eyes lit up, as if a fog had been cleared, and the direction suddenly became clear.
Yes, she doesn't necessarily have to sell fruit herself.
———————————————
By the afternoon, the reputation of the "super cherries" had spread, and people flocked to buy them, also selling a considerable number of ping-pong grapes in the process.
When she returned to the warehouse, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She was starving and quickly ordered two servings of braised chicken rice.
Xu Milu simply let the driver take the remaining box of Ping Pong grapes and the half-box of eggs and cherries that had been sampled from the tasting.
After all, the couple had helped out a lot voluntarily all afternoon, so it was only right that they had some fruit.
The warehouse was huge; even if Xu Milu took out all the fruit from the storage compartments, it would only fill one corner.
Zhao Jin originally suggested that she find a warehouse manager, but Xu Milu was thinking of turning this place into her own secret base, so she wouldn't want to cause any more trouble by hiring an outsider.
As for safety and such, Xu Milu wasn't worried about it.
She also discovered that since obtaining the dimensional jumper, her physical abilities have been gradually improving. Not only can she lift dozens of kilograms of things without feeling any strain, but this morning she even knocked two big men away with her bare hands.
Xu Milu estimates that if this continues, she will be able to bend steel pipes with her bare hands.
Next to the warehouse door was a ten-square-meter room, which was originally for the warehouse guards to live in, but now it had become Xu Milu's temporary lodging.
This place is perfect for Xu Milu; it has a bed and furniture, and no one will care even if she sings karaoke here.
"I need to buy some cooking utensils. Ordering takeout every day isn't sustainable."
Xu Milu took a bite of braised chicken, thinking about what she needed to do tomorrow while jotting down the information in her phone's notes app.
1. Buy kitchenware.
2. Pick up the fruit basket ordered online.
3. Ship goods to breakfast stalls.
4. Buy jade to replenish energy.
I had barely taken a bite of rice when the phone rang.
"Hello? Oh, is this Xiao Xu? This is your Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Jin's hearty laughter rang out, and his second sentence mentioned the Wang family father and son:
"I heard about what happened this morning. Oh dear, I really misjudged him. If I had known he was this kind of person, I wouldn't have introduced him to you."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Jin didn't mince words and got straight to the point:
"Xiao Xu, I heard you're in the fruit business? Is it the super grapes and super cherries from the other day?"
Xu Milu frowned slightly. In less than half a day, Zhao Jin had already found out that she was selling Ping Pong grapes.
Did the Wang family father and son tell him that?
Zhao Jin also noticed Xu Milu's displeasure and replied with a smile:
"Don't get me wrong, it was Mengmeng who said it. I guessed it—do you have time tomorrow? I'd like to meet at the warehouse to discuss it. I have a few supermarkets in my portfolio. The holidays are coming up soon, and I'm planning to make gift boxes. I think your company's grapes are pretty good."
This was like a godsend, Xu Milu raised an eyebrow and immediately set a time to meet tomorrow.
