Chapter 645 Developing the Next Door Market(1/2)
"Dad, how about we go take pictures of loaches tonight?"
After the rice was harvested, everyone sat in the shade of the tree to rest.
Xiang Yisen took a bite of the watermelon and asked doubtfully: "Photographing the loach?"
He had never heard of it before. He pointed to the basket submerged in the ditch, "Isn't there a loach in that basket?"
Seeing that Xiang Yisen didn't understand, Da'an stamped his feet anxiously: "Oh! The loach I said doesn't mean the loach in the basket."
Later, Daan told everyone again what Xiaozhi had just boasted to him.
After hearing this, Yu Qing immediately understood what Daan was talking about.
Summer is the busy time for farming and the cleanest time of the year. The crops planted in the first half of the year are about to be harvested, and the crops in the second half of the year need to be planted again.
Rural people are busy with farm work every day and have no time to go to the market to sell the agricultural products they grow. Everyone is short of money and the physical labor intensity is high, so they need meat and fish on the table to replenish their physical strength.
At this time, everyone tends to focus on the vast fields.
What is most abundant in the fields?
Probably the only ones left are fish, shrimps, loaches, eels and frogs.
The iron rake Da'an mentioned is a tool made of iron like a comb. If you find a loach or eel at night, you will use the iron rake to peck it down quickly. If you lift it up again, the loach on the soft mud will be caught between the teeth of the comb.
This is an extremely simple tool, but very useful.
Xiang Yisen glanced at him and said regretfully: "This activity you mentioned should be fun, but we have to go back at night."
"We can go out and take photos of the loaches after dinner for two hours, and we'll go back after ten o'clock." Da'an gave his own suggestion.
Xiang Yisen was unmoved: "It's already very late after ten o'clock."
Da'an saw that Xiang Yisen couldn't explain, so he cleverly hugged Ruan Xiuhua's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, how about we go take care of the loaches at night? I really want to eat the loaches I caught, so I caught the loaches and gave them to grandpa as a meal for you.
OK?"
She is swaying forward and backward. If she were a little girl, she would be called cute, but if she were a boy, she would be really disgusting.
When Xiao An saw Da An acting coquettishly, it was as if he was seeing himself acting coquettishly through a mirror, and felt extremely awkward.
Yu Qing suppressed herself from laughing out loud. It was really hard to bear it, so she wiped her burning face with the rind of the watermelon she had finished eating.
"Well, I feel much more comfortable. The coolness on my face is very comfortable."
"Mom, you sit in the fields and don't forget to beautify yourself. I'll try it too." Zhuzhu saw Yu Qing wiping her face with watermelon rinds. She also followed suit and wiped the watermelon rinds on her hands vigorously.
After wiping a piece of watermelon rind, I heard Daan's cheerful cheers and knew that Ruan Xiuhua had agreed to him.
Here I am having fun playing in the countryside. Qiao Jun in City A received the third batch of CDs and tapes from Daan and sold them out.
"Qiao Jun, the goods sent this time have been sold out again. I did some statistics here and found that there are still about 20 classmates who have ordered about 30 tapes. Do you want to make a call later and ask your family to help?
Will you send a batch over?"
Zhou Junmin, who lives in the same dormitory, flipped through his notebook and said.
Qiao Jun nodded: "I'll hang up the phone later."
Zhu Yongtong frowned slightly: "After our nearly one month of promotion, the school's demand for tapes and optical discs has reached saturation. If we want to further promote it, we are afraid that sales will plummet."
Zhou Junmin closed his notebook and asked eagerly: "Then what do you think we should do? Is it because our schools are saturated that we will stop doing business?"
To be honest, none of them would be willing to part with this business.
In the past month, the money they made from the CDs and tapes they sold, not to mention Qiao Jun, but the money shared by the three of them, each of them almost got around a thousand.
In this era when the per capita income is more than 100 a month, their money is equivalent to a huge amount of money.
What's more, they are still students at school. To them, as students, this money is a huge sum of money!
Qu Qingshui, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word, said unhurriedly: "Unless we expand our business to the campus next door."
The words are astonishing, what he is talking about is this kind of silent person, who will hit the point directly when he speaks!
Zhou Junmin excitedly clapped his hands: "Qingshui is right, we can just expand our business to the campus next door. The campus next door will keep us busy for another month."
If I work for another month and divide another thousand yuan, I will have enough pocket money for the next three years of college life.
Qu Qingshui still went straight to the point, and said quietly: "There are less than ten days until summer vacation, where will you find the time to keep you busy for another month?"
Zhou Junmin: "Well, you're right!"
"unless."
Zhou Junmin asked eagerly: "Unless what?"
Qu Qingshui looked at Qiao Jun: "Unless Qiao Jun asks his family to send more at one time, we will use the time before the holiday to go through the next campus. When we receive the goods, we will send them directly."
Zhu Yongtong asked a more realistic question: "Your idea is good, but how do we reach the students next door?"
Qu Qingshui turned to look at Qiao Jun: "This matter depends on your efforts, brother!"
"Me?!" Qiao Jun looked confused. How could he be so powerful?
Qu Qingshui reminded: "That female student next door named Jiajing has always had a crush on you. Don't think that everyone doesn't know that she is pursuing you."
Zhu Yongtong whistled: "Oh! We almost forgot about this. Qiao Jun, you need to get some refreshments about this. Make an appointment with this female student and let's conquer the CD and tape market on the next campus together."
"Yes, yes, come on, Qiao Jun!"
"We like you!"
The four outstanding figures in dormitory 404 unanimously agreed and immediately took action.
Qiao Jun's calls to home never got through. When he called his eldest brother Xiang Yisen, no one answered, "What's going on? Why is it that no one answered the phone at home?"
Several people standing nearby looked over, and Zhou Junmin asked: "Is it possible that no one in your family is home?"
Qiao Jun frowned and was puzzled. Normally, there was always a nanny at home when no one was home. How come no one answered the phone?
"It's possible, I'll call back tonight."
"Okay, let's call her later. Let's go to the next campus to find someone now, invite her out to have a meal, and discuss how to carry out sales promotion work."
Zhou Junmin nodded and pulled him across the road.
The school opposite is a health school, and most of the students are girls. Unlike their school, which has the most science students, there are also the most boys.
It would be the best match if the two schools had a fraternity party.
Wang Jiajing is a pretty girl who has always had a crush on Qiao Jun.
Just like today, she heard that Qiao Jun was looking for her and she kept the appointment as scheduled.
"Qiao Jun, why do you want to treat me to dinner today?" Wang Jiajing glanced at the boys present and teased: "Or are you treating your classmates to dinner, and I'm just here by the way?"
"No." Qiao Jun was so clumsy that he didn't know what to say. He looked at the teasing eyes of his brothers and his ears felt a little warm.
Meeting Wang Jiajing's expectant eyes again, he said bravely: "We came here specially to treat you to a meal today. You, you can order whatever you want."
Wang Jiajing smiled and said, "Why don't you do that? I'll just order one or two of my favorite dishes, and the other brothers can order them."
She generously picked up the menu and ordered two of her favorites, then handed the menu to others.
The few people who took the menu immediately had a better impression of her. She was kind-hearted and knew how to take care of other people's feelings. She was a good and considerate girl.
Wang Jiajing glanced at the empty seat, leaned toward Qiao Jun, and asked in a low voice: "Are we the only ones eating today? Is there anyone else?"
Qiao Jun smelled a fresh fragrance and glanced nervously at the girls, "It's just us."
Zhou Junmin covered his mouth with the menu and snickered: "Classmate Wang Jiajing, our Qiao Ge specially invited you to dinner today, so except for you, we are all his guests."
Wang Jiajing looked at Qiao Jun in surprise: "Ah, is it true?"
Qiao Jun received the quick and lightning looks from several roommates and nodded again: "Well, do you want a drink?"
"Huh?" Wang Jiajing stared at him, as if she were a man with evil intentions, "You actually invited a girl to drink? What do you want to do when you get drunk?"
"Ah, there is no other meaning without me." Qiao Jun wanted to slap his mouth, why did he talk nonsense when he was nervous?
Zhou Junmin saw his brother's cowardly appearance and felt uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "Even if my brother has other intentions, don't you dare to come?"
Wang Jiajing shook her head: "Of course not, I'm here right now."
Zhou Junmin pointed to the other two brothers: "Wang Jiajing, there aren't many others in your school. I know there are a lot of girls. Our brothers are still in an untapped state. Do you want to introduce some girls to us?"
As soon as Zhou Junmin mentioned this topic, the other two people became excited, and their eyes burst out with green light. They only had a crush in high school, and when they entered college, they were in a state of nowhere to place their feelings.
When Wang Jiajing saw the looks in the boys' eyes, she smiled unkindly: "Haha, this is easy to say. None of the female classmates in our dormitory have boyfriends, but they are not locals."
"That's just right. We are not locals either." Zhou Junmin smiled at the others: "I believe you don't have any objections, right?"
Qu Qingshui and Zhu Yongtong both shook their heads.
"Okay, I'll call them next time I come out. Then don't let it go and embarrass me!"
"How is that possible? Don't worry."
"How about you ask your friends to come out tonight and let's go have supper together."
Qiao Jun knocked on the table to remind them: "You haven't finished dinner yet, and you are thinking about having a midnight snack?"
Wang Jiajing shook her head: "Forget about late night snacks, our school will close the door at ten o'clock in the evening and students will not be allowed to go out late at night."
