Chapter 370 Buying a truck, Li Meili and her husband come to visit
As the shipment volume was large, Zhang Wanwan decisively proposed to her family to buy a small truck.
Zhang Baiyan was stunned when he heard her suggestion. "Little sister, are you serious?"
"How else could I lie to you?" Zhang Wanwan said with a smile, "Now that I have money, I will buy you a small truck as a way to support your business. With a car, it will be more convenient for you to do whatever you want. Now you are the only one in the family with a driver's license, so the driving will be left to you.
Zhang Baiyan was overjoyed. He had been driving a motorcycle tricycle for so long, and now he suddenly switched to a small truck. It felt like a pie in the sky had fallen on his head, and he was so happy that he felt like he was floating on the ground.
Zhang's father and mother were also very happy. They felt much more confident when they thought that they could buy a car. In the past, Zhang's mother would definitely ask a few more questions, such as how much the small truck would cost. But this time, she said nothing and expressed her support silently.
Since everyone had no objection, Zhang Wanwan went to the county town with Zhang Baiyan to look at cars after lunch that day.
Buying a small truck is no different from buying a private car. You can find brands with good reputations by just searching online. Once you have identified the brand, you can choose a cost-effective one based on your needs. After just one visit, Zhang Wanwan set her eyes on a one that cost RMB 120,000. Now RMB 120,000 is equivalent to her monthly profit. She didn't feel bad at all about buying it and paid for it in full directly.
Zhang Baiyan went to handle the formalities.
Within two days, the car drove back to the old house.
Zhang's father and mother loved the small truck so much that Zhang Baiyan let them take turns getting in and took them for a tour of the town.
With the small truck, the efficiency of shipping has been significantly improved. Due to the large volume, Zhang's father and mother are too busy to handle it, so they occasionally ask a few elderly people in the village to help. Although the elderly are not as quick as young people, the wages are low, so they are not in a hurry. They just need to hire a few more people, which can also allow them to have extra income.
Because of this, the Zhang family's reputation in the village improved a lot.
After a busy day, November was almost here. The passion fruits that had been planted in the old house were ripe. Zhang Wanwan picked a few and tasted them. She found that the passion fruit seeds soaked in spiritual spring water produced sweeter passion fruit than ordinary passion fruit, about 70% sweet and 20% sour. It tasted refreshing and appetizing. Even Zhang's mother, who had a poor appetite, praised it highly.
After tasting it, Zhang Baiyan said excitedly, "We haven't seen this fruit here before. It's so fragrant, it must be a good seller! Little sister, how are you going to set the price?"
Zhang Wanwan thought about the previous price and said thoughtfully, "I plan to sell it for 22 yuan per kilogram."
The whole family was very calm when they heard the price, especially Zhang's mother, who said immediately, "I don't care about the price. I think this thing can be planted in large quantities. It is resistant to falling and strong. Transportation is not a problem at all. It is also easy to pick. There is nothing to choose from."
"Why don't we plant a large amount on the mountain? The mountain is bare anyway, and it would feel weird if we don't plant something. Planting crops can also provide shelter for chickens and ducks from wind and rain, which is pretty good." Zhang's father suggested.
Zhang's mother nodded in agreement immediately.
Seeing that they were so quick to act, this man was a little speechless. "You two, if we want to plant passion fruit, we have to wait until after the Spring Festival. There is no rush now. Let's sell this batch of goods first. Also, I plan to plant some fruit trees on the mountain. I took a look before. Hainan mangoes are good. They are big and can be planted on the mountain without worrying about being stolen. There are also peaches, figs, wax apples, pomegranates, and other valuable varieties. As for those longans and lychees, don't plant them. Most of the fruit trees in the village are those, and they can't be sold at a good price."
All she needs to do for these fruit trees is buy seedlings and transplant them. With the spiritual spring water, she doesn't have to worry about the seasons affecting the activity of the fruit trees.
Zhang's father knew that Zhang Wanwan had big ideas and many thoughts, so he immediately agreed when he heard her say that. He also asked someone to inquire about good fruit tree varieties. For this purpose, he specially asked Zhang Baiyan to drive to Baihua Village and some nearby fruit-producing counties. He visited several places before he got all the fruit trees for Zhang Wanwan.
The family planted all the fruit trees before winter in Pu City. Although it cost a lot of money, the passion fruit sold very well for Zhang Wanwan and her mother, and they almost made back all the money they spent.
The Zhang family's actions not only attracted the attention of people in the village, but even Li Meili and the others heard about it. The couple took time out of their busy schedule to come over and sit for a while. When they learned that the Zhang family not only paid off their foreign debt but also bought a small truck, they were shocked.
She even went to the end of the village for a tour. After returning to the old house, Li Meili kept sighing, "I said that we all grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. Our family hasn't been able to completely fix the house until now. How long have you been here? You've already paid off your debts, bought a car, and even opened up the mountain!"
Zhang Wanwan came out with a smile, carrying lava mooncakes and egg yolk pastry.
When Li Meili and her husband smelled the sweet scent, their eyes lit up.
"What is this? It looks delicious! Is this a snack bought in town?" Li Meili said as she took a piece of egg yolk pastry, took a bite, and praised it repeatedly, "Why haven't I seen it before?"
Zhang Wanwan smiled and said, "Aunt, this is also a snack sold in my family. Currently, there is only one in Pu City, so it's normal that you haven't tried it. But I think it will be all over the streets soon. After all, I don't have any skills, so I guess I can only sell it to regular customers in the future."
Li Meili exclaimed, "This is already amazing!"
She looked at the snacks on the table, and then thought about the chickens and ducks raised by the Zhang family and the vegetables and fruits grown. She suddenly understood why they were able to make money.
Zhang's mother echoed, "This girl sells expensive things, and they are all rare goods. We don't know much, so we just let her do whatever she wants. Now she has received several large orders, so the family has expanded the scale of business. But it's different from your wholesale business. Anyway, we are just helping her, and we can't get involved in other matters."
Zhao Guoqing really wanted to ask Zhang Wanwan how she found so many customers. He also wanted to sell his own products at a high price, but it was difficult to say such things out loud. After all, it was someone else's business, and it would be embarrassing if he asked and the other person couldn't answer.
Li Meili, on the other hand, didn't have so many concerns. She pulled Zhang's mother aside and complained, "You said that our family also grows vegetables and raises chickens and ducks, so why can't we find buyers who are willing to pay a high price for our products? You also know our family's situation. Can you let Wanwan teach us how to sell our products at a high price?"
Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment. She really didn't understand this matter, so she simply called Zhang Wanwan over to ask her while she was at home.
Zhang Wanwan naturally knew what her family's advantages were. After thinking about it, she said to Zhang's mother, "Mom, go pick some vegetables from our vegetable garden and cook them for my aunt and uncle to taste. Maybe they will understand."
