Zhou Tong knew that they were coming to deliver food and was already waiting at the food station.
As soon as Ning Xi jumped off the farm vehicle, Zhou Tong immediately greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law is here."
"Secretary Zhou, why did you come here in person?" Ning Xi was a little embarrassed. She just used someone else's car and other people's connections, so why did she have someone come over in person?
"Isn't my sister-in-law going to Zhangcun in the afternoon? I thought there would be nothing to do today. I will go to my sister-in-law's house for a meal at noon, and then I will go to Zhangcun with my sister-in-law in the afternoon." Zhou Tong had already said hello to the village. He was afraid that Ning Xi would regret it and refused to go to Zhangcun to buy apricots, so he deliberately came here to bet on Ning Xi.
Ning Xi could probably guess what Zhou Tong was thinking and didn't expose him. She smiled and nodded in agreement.
After the two of them finished chatting, stationmaster Zhang next to him stepped forward with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to Ning Xi, "Hello, Mrs. Lu, I am the stationmaster of the grain station. Just call me Xiao Zhang."
Xiao Zhang! !
This webmaster Zhang looks to be at least 40 years old. He asked a little girl to call her Xiao Zhang. He could bear it, but she didn't dare to call her!
Ning Xi understood that Station Commander Zhang was doing this to give Zhou Tong face, and did not really think highly of herself. She immediately shook hands with Station Commander Zhang politely, "Hello, Station Commander Zhang! I'm Ning Xi, just call me." Just a name.”
After getting to know each other, stationmaster Zhang immediately asked people to move the grain into the warehouse. A large cart of grain was sold for 1,232 yuan.
After taking the money, Ning Xi smiled and thanked Station Master Zhang, "Thank you, Station Master Zhang."
“It should be done, it should be done, Mrs. Lu, don’t worry, Secretary Zhou has already said hello, I won’t give any face to anyone this time, I will only recycle the food from Mrs. Lu’s family.”
Only collect food from her family.
Lu Nan said hello to Zhou Tong and stopped other people from sending food to the food station because she said last night that many canned fruit workshops would soon appear on the market.
Since there is no way to send grain to the grain station, some people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money have to give up or think of other ways. Maybe they cannot cut off everyone, but at least they can reduce some competitors.
Wanting to understand the reason, Ning Xi hurriedly thanked Stationmaster Zhang, "Thank you so much, Stationmaster Zhang!"
Stationmaster Zhang took a look around and made sure no one was around before whispering, "Mrs. Lu, my parents' apricots will be troublesome to you."
It turns out that stationmaster Zhang is also from Zhangcun. Understanding this, Ning Xi nodded. He had helped her so much, so she should help others collect the apricots.
After coming out of the grain station, Ning Xi bought a few more iron pots and asked a truck to help take them back. She and Lu Bei took Zhou Tong's car back. On the way, she silently calculated the cost. A truck of grain cost more than 600 yuan. After the cost, With the 2 cents commission given to the salesman, the net profit should be around 330.
The profit from one truck is more than 300 yuan. According to today's arrangement, at least 3 trucks of grain can be recovered every day, and the profit per day is 990 yuan.
The total net profit from the spicy strips and dried fish sold yesterday was 510.
According to this calculation, their income per day is 1,500 yuan in 7 days. It only takes 7 days to become a household worth 10,000 yuan.
No, it’s 14 days. It only takes 14 days for the couple and Zhang Ying to become households worth 10,000 yuan at the same time.
With the first ten thousand, there will be a second one, a third one...
Ning Xi became more and more excited as she calculated, and her face, which had always been sullen, revealed a look of uncontrollable joy.
Meals have been prepared at home, and Ning Xi took Zhou Tong to visit their small workshop. When the workers got off work, Wang Xiuqin also prepared a table of meals. When Zhang Ying and Lu He came back, everyone sat down to eat.
There were many salesmen at the door, and Wang Xiuqin also arranged a table with the salesmen. They provided simple meals, but they didn’t have to wait outside hungry. This also made the salesmen and their family more polite. Because he had to drive Ning Xi to Zhangcun in the afternoon, Zhou Tong didn't drink. He took some dried fish and put it into his mouth and chewed it. "Sister-in-law, your small workshop is well-made, is there any?" Have you ever thought about making your products more formal?”
“Secretary Zhou means to register a trademark and give the product a personal label.”
“Yes, it will be made into a regular product. This canned fruit, dried fish, and spicy strips can be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative. I can help you say hello to the supply and marketing cooperative.”
“We definitely need to register a trademark, especially in the future, there will be more and more small workshops producing canned fruits. If we don’t register a trademark, if something goes wrong, it won’t be my family’s responsibility.”
"The same applies to spicy strips and dried fish. It's too troublesome to weigh packages one by one. I plan to make them in bags, so they can be stored longer and sold in packages to save trouble. "
Ning Xi has considered these things, but her time is limited and she hasn't had time to do them yet. Fortunately, she doesn't have to go out to set up a stall now, so she can put all these things on her schedule.
“Sister-in-law is very farsighted.” Zhou Tong gave Ning Xi a thumbs up. He really admired her for having such great foresight at such a young age.
Ning Xi was praised, Zhang Ying was extremely happy and immediately said arrogantly, "Our Xiao Xi is very capable."
“Second sister-in-law, you are not so boastful.” Ning Xi smiled helplessly. Zhou Tong was able to secure his current position and was a very talented person. If Zhang Ying praised her in front of Zhou Tong, wouldn’t that make people laugh?
“Sister-in-law deserves to be praised. If our Yao Township can produce a few talented people like sister-in-law, are we afraid that we will not be able to get rich?”
After dinner, Ning Xi took Lu Bei and followed Zhou Tong to Zhangcun. Before going out, she packed a few packages of dried fish and spicy strips, one package for Zhou Tong, one package for Zhou Tong's father, and one package for Stationmaster Zhang. One bag each for the village chief’s family.
Zhangcun is halfway up a mountain. The road up the mountain is very steep. There are fruit trees everywhere on the steep slopes, all kinds of fruit trees.
After passing the winding dirt road, we finally arrived at Zhangcun Village. As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we could see many villagers standing at the entrance of the village and looking out.
Zhou Tong got out of the car with Ning Xi and Xiaobei, and a group of people immediately gathered around them.
“Xiaotong, I heard that you are bringing someone over to buy apricots.”
"Xiaotong, can you take care of my apricots first? If they are not picked, they will all rot in the ground."
“Brother Tong, my family is already ripe.”
"What are you doing! Now that Secretary Zhou is back, can you still not solve the problem for everyone?" The village chief came late and scolded everyone, "Okay, everyone goes back first. It's such a hot day. If we are stuck here, if Secretary Zhou and the boss who came with us get heat stroke, no one will be able to sell any of their apricots."
A group of people immediately made way for them.
Zhou Tong quickly led Ning Xi and Lu Bei out of the encirclement, walked quickly back to Zhou's house, and invited people to come in and sit down. Zhou Tong turned around angrily and glared at the village chief, "Uncle, what are you doing? I'm calling." I already told you that my comrade-in-arms doesn’t need many apricots, so I’ll help deal with a few first, and then I’ll figure out a way, why are you still inciting the villagers to come and cause trouble?”
Zhou Tong was troubled by these villagers. Recently, heads of several villages, led by Zhangcun, came to the office every day to ask for his help in solving problems.
Apricots are not a high-selling fruit in the first place. He found a food factory to help solve a batch before, and he has been thinking of a solution now. Today he brought Ning Xi here just to help solve a few.
Let the village chief do this today, and the whole village will know about it. If Ning Xi takes someone from Zhangcun, other people will make trouble. If Ning Xi takes someone from Zhangcun, people from other villages will make trouble if they find out.
Isn't this causing trouble for him and Ning Xi?
