Chapter 48: Secretary Zhou Tongzhou
"Okay." Ning Xi smiled broadly, her eyes forming two crescent moons, and the joy on her face seemed to overflow from the pear dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Seeing her happy, the smile on his face did not diminish, and every smile line was filled with rare favor.
In the afternoon, Lao Zhou and the others took out the canned fruit and it was sold out within an hour. In just one afternoon, all the salesmen around knew that Lao Zhou and the others had exchanged grain for canned fruit, and they all came to ask questions. Show the address of Ning Xi’s home.
The next day, as soon as Ning Xi and Zhang Ying went out, a large number of salesmen poured into Shanghe Village and asked about Ning Xi's house.
Lao Zhou also came here early today. He never thought that canned fruits were so popular in the countryside. At first, he thought about getting more canned fruits from Ning Xi when he came over in the afternoon, but he heard that there were many salesmen. He went to Shanghe Village before dawn. He was so anxious that he immediately rode a cart to Shanghe Village. If all the cans were snatched up by other sellers, where would he go to make money?
“Excuse me, is Miss Ning Xining here?”
“Excuse me, is Zhang Ying and Zhang sister here?”
When Lao Zhou arrived, a group of salesmen were crowding at the door of Ning Xi's house, asking all kinds of questions.
Lao Zhouyi saw Lu Nan at the door, and hurriedly pulled away the crowd and stepped forward with a smile to say hello, "Good morning, Little Lu!"
Lu Nan nodded towards Old Zhou, "Brother Zhou, you came here so early today."
Lao Zhou smiled and said the reason for his visit, "All the canned fruits I brought yesterday were sold out. I specially sent the food to you and picked up some more canned fruits."
“Boss, can we get some canned fruit?”
“Boss, can you get some for me?”
“Boss, I’ll get some too, I was the first one here.”
Lao Zhouyi opened his mouth, and the others immediately started talking and clamoring to get some canned fruits from Lu Nan.
"Everyone, be quiet first." Lu Nan shouted. After everyone calmed down, he continued, "We have almost 1,000 cans of canned fruits in stock. You can get them if you want. Our cans are mainly sent to the countryside. In exchange for food, the food exchanged will be sent back directly, and you will get 2 cents for each bottle sold. "
"If you have no objections, please line up and I will distribute the goods for you immediately. In addition, when you go to the countryside to sell canned fruits, if you see anyone with ripe fruits, apricots, pears, oranges, peaches, apples, hawthorns You can buy it for us later.”
When everyone lined up outside as Lu Nan said, Lu Nan first recovered the grain brought by Lao Zhou and settled the commission for him.
After collecting the money, Lao Zhou immediately said with a smile, "Xiao Lu, give me another 200 bottles today."
"Okay, Brother Zhou, you are a regular customer of our family. I have opened a green channel for you today. After today, if you come here again, you will have to queue up with everyone else. Otherwise, it will not be fair to others." Lu Nan smiled and said Old Zhou Ke said something and took everyone to Secretary Lu's house to prepare goods for Old Zhou.
"Understood." Lao Zhou smiled and nodded, "Xiao Lu, I won't go to town today. I will come over at 2 o'clock in the afternoon to pick up dried fish and spicy strips. Today I still need 70 kilograms each."
"Okay." Lu Nan immediately wrote down the spicy note that Lao Zhou asked for in his notebook, so as not to forget it later.
After Lao Zhou left, Lu Nan began to register everyone one by one and pack canned fruits.
After a while, the three helping aunts also came. Seeing the long queue at the door, they stood at the door a little at a loss. Wang Xiuqin called out, and the three of them hurriedly entered the house, put on aprons and started making canned fruits. Lu Nan asked Lu Bei to call Lu Zhenghai over and ask Lu Zhenghai to register everyone and pack canned fruits. He pushed a wheelchair to the village and found about ten people to come over to prepare for increasing production. Oh, and he had to call and order 10,000 cans. Glass bottle.
When Ning Xi and Zhang Ying came back in the afternoon, Lu Nan had already arranged everything. Now there were more than a dozen workers at home. Ning Xi did not continue to do everything herself, and arranged for three aunts to come over to help make spicy strips and dried fish. Zhang Ying personally guided the frying process. As for the seasoning, Ning Xi prepared it in a basin in another room. After the dried fish was fried, she poured in the seasoning and stir-fried for a while before it was ready.
In this way, you can make spicy strips and dried fish at home in the morning, and those who come to get canned fruits can also bring some spicy strips and dried fish.
Canned fruit attracted countless salesmen as soon as it was launched, but Ning Xi did not give up selling spicy strips and dried fish at a stall. Canned fruit can only be made for a few months at most, and it will no longer be possible after the fruit is taken off the shelves. They still have to make money from spicy strips and dried fish.
Business was at its peak during the hours when the textile factory was off work. Ning Xi and Zhang Ying were so busy that they couldn't touch the ground. Secretary Zhou Tongzhou appeared by their stall on a modified tricycle and saw the two of them busy. , he sat quietly on the tricycle without disturbing them. After all the guests left, he jumped out of the car and walked towards the two of them.
Zhou Tong looked at the girl in front of him and asked with a smile, "Are you Ning Xi?"
Ning Xi nodded politely towards the other party, "Who are you?"
“Secretary Zhou, you are Secretary Zhou.” Zhang Ying recognized Zhou Tong and greeted with a smile, “Hello, Secretary Zhou, I am Xiaonan’s second sister-in-law, and this is Xiaonan’s wife Ning Xi.”
It turns out that this is Secretary Zhou. Ning Xi quickly nodded towards him, "Hello, Secretary Zhou!"
“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite to me. I’m just here to deliver the tricycle for you. You need to take a look at the tricycle first.” He pointed to the tricycle next to him in the corridor.
Ning Xi walked over and took a look. It was modified according to her drawings, and the modification was very strong. "Thank you, Secretary Zhou, for sending the car over for me. How much is the total cost of the car? I will replenish it for you."
“There are a lot of things added to this car, and the modification fee is 10 yuan.”
Ning Xi took the cloth bag from Zhang Ying and asked, "Where is the bicycle?" while counting the money.
Zhou Tong smiled and waved his hand, "The bicycle is an idle one from my family. I don't need any money."
"How can this be done?" Lu Nan is not here, how can Ning Xi accept gifts from others with peace of mind and said quickly, "Secretary Zhou must give money."
“Sister-in-law, I really don’t need it, but I came here today because I really want to ask you for help with something.”
At this time, a customer came to buy spicy strips. Ning Xizhang and Zhang Ying looked at the stall and walked to the side with Zhou Tong. "What does Secretary Zhou want from me?"
“Sister-in-law, how are you doing with your canned fruit? It’s been a few days and I haven’t heard of you going to the grain station to sell grain.”
“We just sent out the cans yesterday. If my estimate is correct, we will have to deliver food to the grain station this afternoon at the latest.”
"I just sent it out yesterday, can you really see the results so quickly?" Zhou Tong looked at Ning Xi with a smile. Why did he feel that Ning Xi's words were a little heavy-handed.
Ning Xi dared to say this, of course because of her confidence. "Actually, I had already sent out a batch the day before yesterday. At that time, I only sent out a few dozen bottles, and they were sold out in less than two hours."
