In the early morning, I rushed to the list and added more, and asked the brothers to fight for the fate of "King Wen". )
Night envelops the entire city of Matsudaira.
However, Matsudaira has a lot of stories to tell, and the topics that focus on the streets never stay the same.
Lights flickering.
"Mom, don't worry, come step by step, it will definitely be in time."
Unlike Jiang Mei's impatience suddenly, Lin Tao's temperament seemed gentle.
Not far from the intersection of West Street and South Street, the street is still asleep, and the rolling carts and three-wheeled carts have broken the silence of the night.
West Street used to be the South Gate Vegetable Market, and a large number of vegetable vendors would bring fresh vegetables to the market almost every day before dawn.
In the backyard of the newly opened green vegetable garden of the old Lin family, Lin Tao and Lin Guocheng, father and son, cleaned up all kinds of vegetables in the yard one by one and sent them to the shelves shirtless.
This batch of vegetables was sent from the neighboring Beiqi county of Nam Giang province last night, and it was fresh enough, but the transportation cost also increased a lot.
Although Lin Tao was full of confidence, it was not enough to make him ignore the risks.
Being reborn does not mean that he can get rich overnight, capital smells of blood at all times, and 3 times the profit can drive the capitalist to kill people and sell more goods.
Excluding the stock market, lottery, gambling and other means of getting rich, Lin Tao knows very well that if he wants to change the fate of his parents and his own destiny, he must use his advantage of forward-looking vision to accumulate capital through the most correct investment.
Coupled with the rent of 360 yuan per month, the decoration of the store and the improvement of all utensils, the green vegetable garden has invested nearly 5,000 yuan, plus the necessary procedures such as contacting the source of goods and registering trademarks, almost 7,000 yuan has been spent.
Different from the vegetable sellers in the Nanmen vegetable market, the vegetable source of the green vegetable garden is directly transported from the planting greenhouse, and the price of vegetables is not high after deducting the transportation cost.
Most of the vegetable vendors at the Nanmon Vegetable Market do not have this procedure, and most of their vegetables are purchased at the local wholesale market in Matsudaira.
In this way, there is a procedure in the middle, and the price is higher, and the market price of the sale will naturally not be much cheaper.
For example, tomatoes, when pulled out of the production area is 5 cents a catty, after being transported to the wholesale market in Songping, the starting price is 1 yuan after deducting the transportation cost, and the vegetable seller sells it once, and the minimum is 1 yuan 5 a catty, and the profit is actually not much, and the profit after deducting labor costs is about 30% and 40%.
But the benefits of this are also obvious, there is less risk, and it can ensure the supply of goods, but Lin Tao did not do this, he took a different path from the beginning.
The freight is paid by yourself, half of it is paid in advance, and the goods are settled on arrival, and the vegetables are purchased directly from the place of origin, the price is cheap, and the price sold is lower than the market price.
For example, the tomatoes purchased from Beiqi County are 5 cents a catty, plus freight, labor and other costs, the cost of the green vegetable garden is only about 7 cents, and the minimum price for selling can be set to 1 yuan 2, that is, nearly 70% of the profit.
On the first day of opening, there are not many vegetables in the green vegetable garden, but the variety is very complete, even richer than the vegetable stalls in the Nanmen vegetable market, some dishes are the specialties of Nanjiang Province, in Songping City in 2005, in fact, the vegetables that can be eaten in the vegetable market are not as many as imagined, and the dishes that are out of season are even rarer.
Nearly 3,000 yuan of vegetables took almost all the strength of the three members of the Lao Lin family, and finally put them on the shelves one by one shortly after dawn, and the rest were stored in the newly built warehouse in the backyard.
It can be seen that Jiang Mei's face is slightly apprehensive, she is not the first time to sell things, and she can even be regarded as a tried and tested professional salesperson.
But it was the first time that she was the boss and sold things, and Jiang Mei's inner apprehension was undoubtedly revealed on her face.
Lin Tao did not say anything to comfort her, because he understood that only when success was in front of him, a person's courage to struggle upward in the long river of fate would be stimulated and he would become confident.
The new store opened, and after a burst of firecrackers, the green vegetable garden was officially opened.
The opening of the new store of the old Lin family did not notify any relatives and friends, so except for Lin Guocheng, Jiangmei and Lin Tao's family of three, no one else witnessed this scene.
There are still a few stars in the sky in the distance Looking at this scene, it is cold and prosperous, and there are too many stories that are drowned out by the night.
Wait until dawn.
Perhaps, even Lin Tao himself doesn't know what the changed fate will look like at the end of time and space.
Lin Guocheng went to class at Shiyàn Middle School at half past six, leaving only Lin Tao and Jiang Mei watching in the store.
Matsudaira City is a small town.
The slow pace of life can be seen in the sparsely populated streets at 6 o'clock.
9 to 5.
In Matsudaira, this kind of life is worth a lifetime of pursuit.
It wasn't until nearly 7 o'clock that the first customer walked into the store.
The person who came was a grandmother in her sixties, with a navy blue gown and a black cotton upper, but Lin Tao could see from the golden bracelet with the thickness of the thumb on the old man's wrist that this was an old man who pursued the quality of life.
Of course, it is also very rich in life experience.
It was enough to see it from the tomatoes she picked.
"Your store is new, right?"
"Grandma, our house only opened today, on the first day of opening, the vegetables will give you a 20% discount, you see that the tomato market is selling for 1 yuan 5 a catty, and my family sells 1 yuan 2 today."
Jiang Mei glared at her son, and handed the old lady a plastic bag with a smile on her face, but the old lady didn't take it, but put down the tomatoes in her hand and turned her head to look at the other row of green peppers.
"How much is your chili pepper?"
"8 cents."
The old lady nodded.
This young man really didn't lie to her, she really didn't know how much tomatoes in the vegetable market cost a pound, there are few people in the family who like to eat this thing, but green chili peppers are sold for 1 yuan and 1 cent a pound in the South Gate vegetable market.
Jiang Mei's face was a little apprehensive, and even at this moment, she was still a little embarrassed in her heart, how could she have been fooled by her son in the first place, and she really spent tens of thousands of dollars to run such a vegetable specialty store.
If it weren't for the 17,000 yuan that bought out the seniority compensation, I'm afraid she wouldn't have such courage, but there is not much time for her to think about this at the moment.
As the silence of the streets was dispersed by the crowds and traffic, more and more people walked into the store, and it can be seen from this moment that Jiang Mei's experience in the department store for more than ten years has not been wasted.
But to Jiang Mei's surprise, her son Lin Tao coped with the scene in front of him, and was even more experienced than her, a "master" who had stood in the sales position for more than ten years.
The morning sun shines through the thick glass window on the side face of the teenager, and the sparse light reflects the best moments of time.
If it weren't for the reality in front of her, Jiang Mei couldn't even believe that one day, she would actually walk out of that small world to find the future here.
For his son Lin Tao, but also for himself.
"Auntie, I'm looking for you for 1 piece and 3 cents."
"Young man, weigh me three pounds of tomatoes."
The sweat permeated the eyelashes and entered the eye sockets a little dazzling, but Lin Tao seemed to be unaware that the business on the first day was unexpectedly good.
He didn't stop from seven o'clock in the morning until nearly ten o'clock, and when the crowd gradually receded from the store, he looked at the empty piece of the vegetable shelf and the mess in the backyard, and the mother and son looked at each other and smiled.
From the eyes of his mother Jiang Mei, Lin Tao seemed to see a look called self-confidence.
"Mom, how's it going? Am I right? ”
Jiang Mei may never forget when her son raised an eyebrow and said this to her, in October 2005, the first day of the opening of the Green Vegetable Garden.
Happiness always comes unexpectedly.
"That's right, my son is capable, much better than your father, go, go home right away and mom will make you something to eat, and go to school in the afternoon after eating."
"Mom~~"
Lin Tao immediately frowned again when he heard this, but when he saw Jiang Mei glaring, he had no choice but to give up and dispel the idea of continuing to fight for absenteeism.
The October sun was not scorching, but it stretched the figures of Jiang Mei and Lin Tao to grow old, and the green vegetable garden behind them reflected the light that stretched the shadows, shining brightly.
