Chapter 352: Order again and ship
"What? You're not taking bribes!" The old lady was anxious, pacing back and forth and couldn't sit down for a moment. The director didn't think much of it at first, just some farm products, how could it be considered taking bribes? But seeing his old mother like this, he was also a little upset.
When his wife came back in the evening, the old lady would inevitably talk about this matter with her daughter-in-law again.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then seeing that the old lady was stubborn and her husband was also annoyed, and the child kept clamoring for that dish or that order, she suggested: "How about this, you push the other person's business card to me, I'll add her, and don't say she's your wife, just say I want to buy eggs and vegetables for her, ask the price, and then I'll transfer the money to her, isn't that right?"
The director suddenly understood and laughed, "You still have a solution. Let's do as you say. I have been worrying about this matter for a long time. I haven't even eaten yet!"
When the family sat down at the table, the director took the first bite and realized why his picky son had such a big appetite. These were really different from what he bought outside. As he thought about it, he ate one more bowl. When he wanted to pick up more food, he found that the plate was empty.
The old lady said to her son proudly, "Look, it's really delicious! My grandson ate an extra bowl of rice tonight. And you, don't you usually eat regularly? It is said that the best way to maintain health is to eat 70% full and 30% hungry. Look at how much you ate tonight?"
The director laughed twice and didn't argue with his old mother.
The old lady felt bored and said, "We still have a chicken and a duck at home. I plan to kill the chicken and make some ginseng chicken soup tomorrow. You can come back for lunch tomorrow. Although the food in the hospital cafeteria is good, you can't eat the ginseng chicken soup cooked by your mother."
"Okay, okay, I will come back to eat, okay?" The director was afraid that the old mother would continue to pester him, so he quickly agreed.
His wife added Zhang Wanwan's WeChat overnight. Zhang Wanwan was watching TV with her mother. She was laughing happily when she suddenly heard the WeChat notification sound. She opened it and saw that it was a stranger who added her and noted to buy agricultural products.
She was stunned for a moment and accepted the other party's friend request.
Director's wife: Hello, is this Miss Zhang? I heard that you have your own chickens and ducks, farm eggs, duck eggs, and vegetables grown by yourself. I would like to buy some from you.
When Zhang Wanwan saw this message, she jumped up in surprise.
Zhang's mother was startled by her. "What are you doing? Is it necessary to watch a show?"
Zhang Wanwan ran out with her phone in hand, "Mom, wait, I'll talk to you later."
After returning to the room, she immediately replied to the other party: Yes, I have a lot of homegrown agricultural products here, and there are many varieties in the circle of friends. Just send me pictures of what you want. However, I only do business within the city now. If I leave Pu City, I can only send eggs. And it will take a few days for the packaging boxes to arrive before I can ship them. If you spend more than 80 yuan, the shipping is free. If it is less than 80 yuan, you have to pay the postage yourself, which is between 5 and 10 yuan depending on the amount of things. Because it is fresh, we currently do not have same-city express delivery, so we can only take the shuttle bus. The shuttle bus stops at the City Central Hospital, Wanda Plaza, Long-distance Bus Station, Passenger Transport Center Station and other places. You need to pick up the goods yourself. Is this okay with you?
Director’s wife: No problem. I’m in Pu City. Just take the shuttle bus to the City Central Hospital.
When Zhang Wanwan saw the words "City Central Hospital", she guessed that the other party should be related to the director or was introduced by him. Since the other party did not want to be exposed, Zhang Wanwan did not ask any more questions.
Not long after, the director's wife sent her a few pictures with the notes: three mustard greens, four spring greens, two cauliflowers, two cabbages, fifteen local chicken eggs, and five pounds of local duck eggs.
Since Zhang Wanwan posted the real-time price on her WeChat Moments, the other party transferred 140 yuan to her without even asking.
Zhang Wanwan calculated it herself and found that she had given too much to Fa, so she quickly replied: "Hello, I calculated that you have exceeded the free shipping standard, the total amount is 123.5 yuan, you don't need that much.
Director’s wife: It’s okay, just pack it and send it over.
Zhang Wanwan had no choice but to transfer some change to the other party, but the other party confiscated it.
After finishing a business deal, Zhang Wanwan happily ran into the living room and shouted to her mother, "Mom, someone finally placed an order. I have to ship an order of vegetables and eggs to the city tomorrow. The other party gave me 140 yuan, so I have to serve him well. You wait for me at home first. I will borrow an electric tricycle from an old man in the village. If it doesn't work later, I will buy one myself to avoid borrowing from others every time.
"Wait." Before Zhang's mother could finish her sentence, Zhang Wanwan had already disappeared.
When she came back, Zhang's mother said angrily, "How can you say wind means rain? Have you borrowed the car?"
Zhang Wanwan nodded, "I borrowed it. There is an old man in the village who has an electric tricycle, which is mainly used for harvesting vegetables. He can lend it to me for two hours in the morning. I won't lend it for nothing. I said I will borrow it for now. If I use it frequently in the future, I will give him 100 yuan as rent every month. He is very happy."
The elderly in the village have little income and little place to spend money. One hundred yuan is a lot of money for them, and it is this kind of money for lending a hand, so who would push it away?
When Zhang's mother heard this, she immediately fell silent. She originally wanted to say that the uncles in the family should have three-wheeled motorcycles that could be used, but seeing that Zhang Wanwan seemed to be planning to use it for a long time, she would feel embarrassed to give money to the relatives, but if she didn't give money, they would grumble behind her back. After all, people in the village value money more, and it is the nature of some rural women to be stingy. After thinking about it, she decided to agree with Zhang Wanwan's approach.
Putting this aside, Zhang's mother asked in confusion, "Why did the other party buy so many things?"
In her opinion, the things at home were all worthless. One hundred and fourteen yuan could buy vegetables for several days, but vegetables cannot be stored, so there was no reason to buy so much at one time.
Zhang Wanwan replied calmly, "No, they didn't buy a lot. Three mustard greens, four spring greens, two cauliflowers, two cabbages, 15 free-range eggs, and five kilograms of free-range duck eggs. It's enough for a family to eat for three days at most. The mustard greens, cauliflowers, and cabbages can all be stored and won't go bad in three days. The spring greens can also be stored in the refrigerator."
Zhang's mother was shocked when she heard this. "You charged them 140 yuan for such a small thing? Do you think you are selling meat?"
Zhang Wanwan replied as a matter of course: "What I buy are all grown by myself, pure natural and pollution-free green food. You don't know, I went to the supermarket in Jing City and saw that the authentic free-range eggs with good packaging cost five yuan each! I only bought two and a half yuan, it's as cheap as fake! And the free-range duck eggs, others sell them for more than ten yuan per pound, but I only sell them for nine yuan. I feel I'm losing money. If I hadn't considered that the consumption level of people here is not as high as that in Jing City, how could I sell them at such a low price?"
