There is a mountain in her arms
Chapter 33 Lin City
The two of them finally squeezed out of the Linshi Railway Station. There were so many people and all kinds of smells were in the air. Even Grandpa Jiang felt a little listless.
"Grandpa, let's find a hotel to rest first!" Jiang Yichen looked at the scorching sun outside and felt a little dizzy.
"Well, let's go!"
The two didn't want to walk a long way, so they went straight to the hotel near the train station.
Since the relaxation of the policy, they no longer need letters of introduction to travel or stay in hotels.
Some people saw the business opportunity and directly cooperated with government agencies such as railway stations to open hotels.
Jiang Yicheng was too old to live in one room, so the two of them luxuriously booked two rooms.
However, Jiang Yichen took his grandfather directly into the space. The two of them held watermelons in their hands and took two bites. They felt that all the pores in their bodies were relaxed.
Grandpa Jiang also felt that the heat had subsided a lot, and he seemed to be more energetic.
"Grandpa, the weather is so hot! Why don't we focus on selling watermelons and promote other fruits as well?"
Grandpa Jiang finished eating half of the watermelon in his hand and wiped his mouth.
"I think so too. We didn't dare to sell watermelons freely before, but now the market situation is different, so we can sell them freely. It's a pity that we can only do one-time business, and the things here still can't be sold in a bright way."
"Grandpa, why don't we contract some land in the village to plant an orchard? Next year, we'll plant a few watermelon seedlings in our orchard, and if there's room, we'll also plant grapes. That way, we can open a fruit store in the city."
"Now that the land has just been distributed, I'm afraid the villagers won't be willing to sell it."
"It's okay, just do it bit by bit! And I'm not in a hurry. My ultimate plan is to do all this in Beijing. I will stay in the city for three years, and then I will definitely apply to a university in Beijing. I will also take you and An An with me. Then I will buy a farm in Beijing and plant fruit trees. The fruits here will have a way out, and I can also develop a fruit industry chain."
Grandpa Jiang was excited just by imagining the future that his granddaughter had planned for him. But after calming down, he couldn't help but pour cold water on her.
"This is not something that can be obtained overnight. We have nothing right now. Even the principal has been used by you to buy a house. Let's be realistic."
"Grandpa, this is my plan for our family's future. Besides, even if it doesn't work out, we can still live well with the fruits here."
"That's right! Let's go to a place with a lot of traffic tomorrow and see where to start?"
"Well! Let's take a rest today! We'll go around in the evening to see if there are any opportunities."
The two of them had a good rest for the whole afternoon, went out for dinner in the evening, and took the opportunity to look around.
"It's still cooler at night. I really don't want to go out during the day. Look, there are a lot of people here at night."
Grandpa Jiang took her around and pointed to the busy department store not far away.
"Grandpa, let's pick up some fruits and try it out at the department store. If their manager is willing to let our fruits enter, think about how many department stores there are in the city? And we can also develop surrounding ones."
"The department store will be closed at this time. Let's go during the day tomorrow. It's the right time and the right place."
"Grandpa is right."
Jiang Yichen's eyes were filled with smiles. The temperature was high during the day, so it would be more likely to win if the watermelon was taken out.
The two of them looked around casually. The area around the train station had already become lively. There were people selling things everywhere, and even in the square outside the train station, there were several stalls.
Jiang Yicheng took his grandfather and went around to observe. There were people selling clothes, handicrafts, and accessories. It seemed that there were still many smart people.
The next day, the two waited until the temperature rose before going out.
Jiang Yichen specially used a grain bag to pack a big watermelon, and also packed one or two other fruits. These were all samples for people to taste.
Grandpa Jiang picked it up and put it on his back, and the two of them went straight to the department store.
"Girl, I want to talk to the person in charge of your mall. Is he available now?"
Grandpa Jiang saw a shopping guide in a shopping mall uniform drinking water, so he walked over and asked politely.
The female shopping guide looked at the bag of grain at Grandpa Jiang's feet, and then at the dress on Jiang Yichen.
This combination is really strange. The old woman's clothes are ordinary, but the little girl's dress is better than the ones she buys in the mall.
I couldn't help but feel a little strange, but I asked back in a good attitude.
"Uncle, what do you want to talk to our person in charge about? If you want to deal with a dispute about purchasing something, just talk to our supervisor."
"No, you misunderstood. I want to promote the fruits from our hometown."
"Sister, look at our fruits. They are all very good-looking and delicious. Try this grape. It's very sweet."
Grandpa Jiang explained with a smile, and Jiang Yichen suddenly had an idea and opened the bag of grain to show her.
"Watermelon? This big! It's hard to buy watermelons in our Linshi market."
The female shopping guide's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the big watermelon.
"Yes! The watermelons in our hometown are so big and sweet. When we meet the person in charge later, you can try some with me."
Jiang Yicheng noticed her expression and spoke up.
The female shopping guide rolled her eyes, looked at the watermelons in the bag on the ground, and smiled at the two of them.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask our manager."
"Okay, thank you, sister. You are so kind and beautiful!"
Jiang Yichen's compliments were so generous that she smiled till her eyes were curved.
After a few minutes, the female shopping guide came over with a smile on her face.
"You guys come with me!"
Grandpa Jiang picked up the bag on the ground, and he and Jiang Yichen followed her into an office.
An elegant man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat at his desk, holding a document in his hand.
"Manager, they are here to sell fruits. Sir, this is Manager Yang, the person in charge of our department store."
"Please take a seat, Xiaoqi, bring in two cups of tea."
"Hello, Manager Yang. We would like to sell our fruits in your mall. Are you willing?"
Grandpa Jiang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point of stating his purpose.
"Let me see how your fruit is. Fruit is a little more expensive than ordinary things, so relatively few people are willing to buy it."
"That's no problem. The fruits we brought this time are for you to taste. Little girl, do you have a fruit knife?"
Grandpa Jiang took out the fruits one by one while explaining, and finally politely asked Xiaoqi, who had brought in the tea and had not left since.
"Ah? Yes! Wait a minute."
Xiao Qi ran out quickly and came back with a fruit knife in less than a minute.
"Thank you!"
Just as Grandpa Jiang was about to take it, Xiao Qi pulled back.
"Uncle, why don't I do it? Let's start with the watermelon!"
Grandpa Jiang was a little stunned, but he reacted immediately, made a casual gesture, and sat down.
Xiao Qi directly cut the watermelon into two halves. The flesh was bright red and very appetizing.
Xiao Qi cut the half into pieces, put down the fruit knife, picked up a piece and handed it to Manager Yang, then took a piece and started eating.
Jiang Yichen looked at this casual movement thoughtfully.
"This watermelon is so sweet! Uncle, it's sweeter than the one you brought back from Hai City last time."
Xiao Qi took a bite and blurted out the answer subconsciously. Jiang Yicheng's eyes suddenly flashed with realization. No wonder!
"It turns out that the little girl is Manager Yang's niece. We are really lucky. If we had met someone else, we might not have been able to meet Manager Yang."
Grandpa Jiang also heard their relationship.
Xiao Qi was a little annoyed. She didn't dare to eat the watermelon in her hand and looked at Manager Yang nervously.
"It's also her luck. The watermelon is really good. In weather like this, it's very relaxing to have a piece of watermelon."
Manager Yang finished the watermelon in his hand slowly and expressed his approval. Xiao Qi listened, his eyes were squinting, and he continued to eat the watermelon in his hand.
"The other fruits in our hometown are also good. You can try them all."
Grandpa Jiang’s face was full of pride. They kept eating the fruits in the space, and the taste was getting better and better. He didn’t know why?
Manager Yang looked at the row of fruits, tasted a few at random, and found that they all tasted delicious.
"Manager Yang, are you willing to cooperate?"
When Grandpa Jiang saw him wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he couldn't wait to ask for his opinion.
"You were thinking that if you put fruit in our mall, we could earn some rent?"
"is it not OK?"
"Why don't we change the way of cooperation? Our mall will directly buy your fruits. As for how much our mall sells for, it has nothing to do with you."
Grandpa Jiang lowered his head to think, this was somewhat different from what they had thought before. Jiang Yicheng's eyes flashed, and he asked him directly about the purchase price.
"So what price do you plan to buy it for?"
Manager Yang was a little surprised and couldn't help frowning. What was a kid getting involved in?
Grandpa Jiang naturally saw his expression and hurried to support him.
"My granddaughter can also serve as a representative. She is involved in all our family affairs."
Manager Yang's expression relaxed. He had noticed that the little girl was very pretty when they first came in. He thought she was just playing with them, so he didn't pay much attention to her. He didn't expect that she was quite smart.
"It's 10% lower than the current market price."
"If Manager Yang can help contact all the department stores in the neighboring city, we will agree."
“You have so much stuff?”
Manager Yang didn't expect them to have such a big appetite.
"Now is the peak season for fruits. As long as we pay the freight, we can naturally provide a steady supply of goods."
Jiang Yichen was confident and not afraid of Manager Yang's gaze.
Manager Yang knew that the reason why the fruit was expensive was because of the high shipping costs, and their place was not where the fruit was produced.
"Okay! As long as you can supply so much goods, even if our neighboring city can't afford it, I can help you contact other cities."
"make a deal!"
Manager Yang is also a man of great courage. He saw an opportunity for promotion and seized it immediately.
Several people communicated on the details and signed the contract.
Jiang Yichen and his colleagues emphasized one point, that they were only responsible for transporting the goods to the warehouse in the nearby city, and they would go directly to the warehouse to receive the goods when the time came, because they were short of manpower.
Manager Yang took into consideration that the shipping fee they had to pay would certainly be very high, so he did not bother about this final touch.
Xiao Qi was chewing a pear, her eyes sparkling. She had accomplished something big.
After the grandfather and grandson left, Xiao Qi looked very proud.
"Uncle, do you think I helped you by accident?"
Manager Yang tapped her head and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Thanks to you this time, you have done a great deed."
"Haha! Then I'll take these fruits back and eat them with my mother!"
"Why can't you control your mouth? Take it!"
Jiang Yichen and his partner rushed to the suburbs and rented two large warehouses.
After returning to the hotel, the grandfather and grandson began to pick fruits crazily in the space again.
Because they have some assets in their hands, they have not traded the fruits in the space very often in recent years.
They had used up all the food in the fresh-keeping warehouse. Later, they used it as a place to store fruits. Whenever they were doing something, they would prioritize the food in the warehouse. After they had finished doing something in the warehouse, they would stock up.
The food in the space, harvested season after season, is piled up in rooms that can only be opened later.
My grandparents couldn't bear to see any empty space, so they planted fruit seedlings all over it.
Even the watermelon and grape seedlings were planted everywhere, and the area surrounding the wooden house in the space was full of watermelons and grapes.
From a distance, it looks like a house built with vines.
Fortunately, the fruits and grains inside will remain hanging there if you don’t harvest them, otherwise I don’t know how much would be wasted?
The two of them had been busy for a week and felt that they could hardly lift their arms. Enduring the pain, they rushed to the warehouse in the suburbs. They had already agreed to hand over the work here.
Grandpa Jiang was guarding outside, and Jiang Yichen went in and filled the two warehouses with fruit.
When they rented the warehouse, they bought a lot of hay to put underneath to prevent the fruits from being crushed.
At almost half past nine, the sound of car horns could be heard. Jiang Yicheng ran out, locked the door, and stood with Grandpa Jiang.
"Ok?"
"All right."
Three minutes later, three large trucks stopped in front of them. Manager Yang got out of the passenger seat, and the grandfather and grandson hurried over to greet them.
"Manager Yang, I didn't expect you to come in person?"
"Old man, I'm the one leading the rest. I have to take a closer look before I feel at ease."
"Haha! Seeing is believing! Please come in!"
Grandpa Jiang didn't take it seriously. He thought that it was better to be cautious. Even he would do it himself.
Jiang Yichen did not go in. Grandpa Jiang took Manager Yang to visit both warehouses and was very satisfied.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to bring so much at once. I'm afraid my three trucks won't be able to load them all. Can you wait here for a while?"
"Of course! We'll wait until you finish installing before we leave."
"Thank you! Ah Xun, bring down the scale, remember the weight, and check with the old man, then give me the bill."
"Yes, manager."
A handsome young man came over from another car and answered, then arranged for people to pick up the goods, weigh them and load them into the truck.
Manager Yang watched them work while chatting with Grandpa Jiang, as if he wanted to know where their hometown was.
Grandpa Jiang only said that they were from a small village in the mountains, and now the land reform has been carried out and the land is distributed to each household. In the past, the state took care of them, but now they have to find a way out for themselves.
Manager Yang looked at their attire these times and they didn’t look like ordinary poor people. Could it be that they dressed that way specially for going out?
Then why is his granddaughter so fair and beautiful? It is obvious that she has never done farm work, and it is hard to tell what she is thinking.
Manager Yang saw that Grandpa Jiang was being secretive and knew that he didn't want to say anything so he stopped asking. After all, he had just started dealing with him and they were not familiar with each other yet, so he couldn't let him tell him all his secrets so quickly.
