Young Madam? Fruit?
These two words were enough to drive Shopkeeper Fang crazy.
He immediately stood up from the stool, walked up to Xiao Wu with a smile, and said flatteringly: "Hey, you're still angry. I was just joking with you just now. Look at you, you can't help but laugh."
This is funny. Does Manager Fang think he is a kid from Sanshui County?
Xiao Wu crossed his arms and smiled back at the shopkeeper: "Seeing you're nervous, I was just joking with you."
After saying that, he turned around, leaned his butt on the desk, looked at the blue sky outside the door and said: "Hurry up and find someone and a car, come with me to pick up the fruit, and bring the banknotes with you."
Fang Yaozu liked to hear this voice the most: "Seriously? I'm not lying this time!"
"By the way, I'd like to remind you that there's a lot of fruit, so we need enough manpower!" Xiao Wu looked back at him, his lips curled up: "Go to the other courtyard, Master Jiang Fu and Master Jiang Xin are waiting for you there. Remember, you must bring enough banknotes."
After saying that, Xiao Wu went downstairs to wait. Upon hearing this, Fang Yaozu immediately gathered all the idle staff in the restaurant. He was not afraid of just ten people, so he temporarily found ten more people nearby and followed Xiao Wu to rush to the villa.
On the street, everyone saw this scene and wondered what was going on. Those who believed in it followed behind him all the way.
Outside the courtyard.
When Jiang Fu saw a group of people coming, the spectacular scene was like the bustling sausage-making scene in the village.
"Is Shopkeeper Fang here? There are too many fruits. We should pull the ox cart and horse carriage into the yard. It will save time and effort to load them."
This is what Jiang Fu said as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Fang Yaozu very happy.
He came forward and said, "Master Jiang Fu, are there really so many fruits? What kind of fruits are there this time?"
Jiang Fu smiled at Fang Yaozu and said, "This time we have some rare things. In addition to strawberries and peaches, there are also quite a few winter melons and grapes. Hurry up and pack them up, otherwise it will be dark soon."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yaozu waved his hands to the thugs behind him, and a group of people swarmed forward.
backyard.
The winter melons are sold individually, and each one weighs about 20 kilograms. Not only do they take up space but they are also heavy. Fang Yaozu was the first to have people move the winter melons.
Fifteen horse-drawn carriages and five ox-drawn carts arrived, and more than thirty people began to move. Jiang Fu and Jiang Xin stood by and counted.
The two of them saw that there were only about thirty winter melons left, and immediately called out to them: "We won't sell these anymore. Our fruit shop also needs to sell goods."
Fang Yaozu was a little confused when he heard this, and he followed Jiang Xin to say something nice: "Master Jiang Xin, your sister has a lot of fruit. As long as you tell her, are you afraid that there will be no fruit to sell?"
Jiang Xin frowned, not understanding Fang Yaozu's meaning. He said bluntly, "Isn't that it?"
Fang Yaozu: .....
"I mean, give me all these fruits, and then ask your sister for some to sell. She will definitely get them for you."
Jiang Xin was a little confused now: "Ke Xin is my sister, and also your young lady. If you ask her for fruit, she will sell it to you if she has it. If you don't make money, you'd be a fool!"
This makes a lot of sense, but this is the current situation of Mrs. Fang Yaozu.
But it was not easy to say this to Jiang Xin. After all, he was asking for a beating by saying bad things about his sister in front of her brother.
So... he looked at the remaining thirty or so winter melons reluctantly and gave up painfully.
The group of people were busy for more than an hour and finally finished. They made several trips back and forth. When it came time to settle the bill, Jiang Fu and Jiang Xin looked at the recorded numbers in their hands and were both a little confused.
There were 750 winter melons alone, each costing 3.5 hundred wen, which means a net profit of 37.5 hundred wen.
One thousand and one hundred kilograms of strawberries, five hundred peaches, six hundred and fifty bunches of grapes...
Jiang Fu pulled Jiang Xin's arm and asked, "Are we selling fruit, or are we going to rob someone?"
According to his not-so-bright calculations, the difference in profit was almost more than one thousand taels. They could earn five hundred wen for one pound of winter melon and strawberry. This... this business was a bit dizzying.
The settlement was soon settled. Jiang Fu and Jiang Xin were holding a stack of silver notes, wondering how much to give to Ke Xin.
Jiang Xin looked up at the sky and said, "Brother, let's get to work. When we're done, we can figure out how much to give Kexin!"
When Jiang Fu heard this, he realized that it was clear now, but time had been wasted again.
"move!"
The two brothers rolled up their sleeves and started loading the fruits onto the cart. There were more than 30 winter melons left, more than 50 peaches left, and a basket of grapes, which contained about 30 bunches.
West Street, Jiangji Fruit Shop.
After the two brothers finished their work, they closed the door and went to find Ke Xin to ask her to calculate how much silver they should give.
Liu Mansion, front hall.
Ke Xin found it very funny when she heard what her two brothers said.
Seeing his sister's disorganized look, Jiang Xin also became anxious. He was holding several thousand taels of silver notes in his hand, which was not a small amount of money.
"Kexin, I can't count these banknotes. Can you please calculate them quickly? How much should we give?"
Jiang Kexin put down the teacup and said helplessly, "According to the amount you calculated, I will take back a total of 5,642 taels of silver, and the rest is your profit."
As soon as Ke Xin finished speaking, the two brothers began to count the banknotes and found that apart from the capital they had given to Ke Xin, there were still more than 400 taels left, and there was still some surplus...
Jiang Fu felt even more uneasy when he saw this. He said, "Jiu'er, we make money too easily. This is not right, absolutely not right!"
Jiang Xin picked up on Jiang Fu's words and said, "I think so too. We are just making money without any effort. Jiang Zhong and Jiang Cai can't make this much even if they work their tails off selling roast duck for a month!"
The fact that the two brothers can have this idea shows that neither of them is greedy and forgetful of their roots. At least they will feel much more comfortable.
She said, "It's cold now, so you can earn some. When it gets hotter, the price will change. Also, improper storage of fruit in the summer will affect the price. So your peak season is in the fall and winter. In the next one or two months, you can earn a year's worth of money. By the summer, you'll only earn enough to cover your living expenses."
What Ke Xin said was not a lie. After all, summer fruits may be thrown away if not stored properly, and a large amount of fruits are also produced, so fruits are the cheapest in summer.
Ke Xin glanced at the brothers' faces and saw that they were still hesitant, not knowing what to do. She said, "If you think this money is too easy to earn, how about this... you two brothers make me a bed together, how about that?"
"No problem, these are all trivial matters. Even if you don't mention it, we will naturally think about it."
As soon as Jiang Fuyi finished speaking, Ke Xin waved at them: "Then give me the book quickly. Go back and pack up and get ready for business!"
"Right away." Jiang Xin responded and immediately counted the banknotes.
