The next morning, Feng Ran left home at seven o'clock. He said he was picking peaches, but actually he was buying more.
She has fruit trees growing in her space, so she plans to buy a small amount of various fruits; the main purpose this time is agricultural products.
...
It gets hot early in the summer, so Feng Ran took a taxi directly to Taoyuan in the suburbs.
I arrived before eight in the morning. The owner of Taoyuan had barely sat down when Feng Ran arrived.
"Uncle, can we pick peaches today?"
"Sure, sure. Is the young lady traveling alone?"
"right."
Feng Ran walked under the pergola. The uncle was perceptive and quickly gave her a washed peach to eat. Feng Ran didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite; it was crisp and sweet.
"So sweet! Uncle, what varieties of peaches do you grow in your orchard? How do they taste?"
Feng Ran sat down on a stool next to her and started chatting with the uncle, who then sat down opposite her.
"This year we have Rouge Crisp, Zhongtao No. 9, White Flower Honey Peach, Tuwei Peach, and Shouxing Peach. They're all delicious. There are both soft and firm ones."
"Okay. I need a lot. Let's go inside and take a look, we can talk as we go, how about that?"
"Sure, sure! Let's go." The uncle immediately smiled and said yes when he heard that the customer wanted a lot.
As the two entered the peach orchard, a fragrant aroma of peaches greeted them.
Moreover, there were some chicken coops under the peach tree.
"Uncle, you raise chickens too?"
"Don't even mention it, they even used the rotten peaches to feed the chickens."
"There are quite a few. Are you selling them?"
"Sell! Of course we sell. Besides, our chickens have been raised for over eight months! They're delicious whether stewed in soup or braised."
"How much? If you want a lot."
"Young lady, I can tell you're an honest person, so let's be frank. How many peaches and how many chickens do you want? I guarantee I'll give you the best price."
"Okay, you're straightforward, and I'll be straightforward too. No need to compare prices anymore! How many hens and roosters do you have in total?"
"The total number is about five hundred. They haven't been separated into males and females."
"I'll take them all. What discount will you give me?"
"...How many peaches do you want?"
"I have a budget. How much are your peaches?"
"Others pay seven yuan per kilogram to pick them."
"Okay, you pick the best quality ones for me: 8,000 catties of water peaches and 2,000 catties of firm peaches. Make it 10,000 catties."
"Okay. I'll lower the price by two yuan. All varieties will be five yuan per jin, and I'll give you the big, high-quality peaches."
"readily!"
"As for chickens... it doesn't matter if they're roosters or hens. We usually sell them live with feathers for sixteen yuan a pound. If you want them all, we'll weigh them alive and give them to you for fifteen yuan a pound. But we'll remove the feathers and clean them for free."
"Boss, could you give me a discount? I'm buying so many."
"...Then I'll give you another hundred catties of eggs."
"You sell eggs too?"
"I can pick up a hundred or two every day."
How much?
"They usually cost a little over one dollar each. Because the eggs are relatively large, and we often eat peaches, the quality is quite good and the nutritional value is high."
"I'll take whatever stock you have left. But I only want the fresh ones."
"We only have eggs left for the next week. People come to collect them every week. Our eggs are in short supply."
"Okay. I'll take all the eggs."
"Here'll be yours for one dollar each. That'll make the calculation easier."
"Sure. I want the chickens slaughtered fresh every day and transported to my warehouse via cold chain, which isn't far from here. I need all the chickens—just slaughter them, pluck them, gut them, and take all the giblets. Please process them and put them together. The peaches also need to be picked fresh on the same day. If we can't finish them in one day, we'll do it over several days."
I will pay a deposit first, and the final payment will be made after the goods are delivered.
Of course, I check the goods in person every day before they are delivered to the warehouse; I won't sign for them if they are spoiled or of poor quality.
"Okay, okay. Leave your address. Then pay a deposit of 10,000."
"Okay. By the way, boss, please add me on WeChat."
Before leaving, Fengran picked a large plastic bag full of peaches. Each one was plump, big, and pink.
I looked at the greenhouses and vineyards next door.
...
"Little girl, would you like to pick grapes?"
Feng Ran glanced at the greenhouse a few times before being spotted by the owner.
"How much are the grapes, ma'am?"
"Wow, our grapes are so sweet and juicy, and they're very cheap, only 5-8 yuan per jin (500g). The price varies depending on the variety. Come in and have a look!"
"good."
Grapes can be roughly divided into three categories: purple grapes, green grapes, and raisins.
They have everything: Kyoho, Sunshine Rose, Summer Black, and more.
According to the proprietress, Shine Muscat grapes are the most expensive, at eight yuan per jin (500g). Purple grapes are generally six yuan, raisins are five yuan, and green grapes are seven yuan.
"Sister, I need a lot, so please give me an honest price."
"How much do you want?"
How many varieties do you have in total?
"Eight varieties."
"Okay, two thousand catties of Sunshine Rose, two thousand catties each of Summer Black and Kyoho, and one thousand catties of each of the others. Is that enough?"
"That's definitely enough! You're so honest, so I'll give you a fair price too. Except for the Sunshine Rose which is seven yuan a pound, the rest are five yuan each."
"Sure. By the way, could you perhaps send me some grape seedlings?"
"That's easy. We cultivate seedlings and sell them every year. We happen to have some unsold seedlings left this year. So we'll give you... a hundred seedlings."
"Okay, send a little bit of each variety of seedling."
"Can."
"Then send it to this address. It has to be freshly picked every day. I'll check the goods when I receive them, and I won't accept anything that's not fresh." As she spoke, Feng Ran took out a notebook, wrote down an address, and handed it over.
"Okay. But you'll need to pay a deposit of ten thousand yuan first."
