"Dad, I had something to do when I went out in the morning. I just came back and heard from the south gate that you were at the north gate, so I ran over here quickly";

"You had a hard time riding in a big truck all the way";

"Weizi, call the driver and let the four of us go to dinner. It's time for dinner now."

"Yibo, except for the hard work of the driver of the big truck, I actually have nothing to do. There is a row of seats behind the driver's seat, which is just enough to sleep. I also sleep in turns with the master";

"I just heard Ah Wei tell me that your Aunt Qin's decoration looks very good."

When I see my son, even though I haven't seen him for only three months, it still feels like a long time has passed.

In the past, when Ma Yibo went to junior high school and high school, he studied in the county town, usually going home once every half a month;

After going to college, I studied in the provincial capital Chang'an and went home every month or two;

After graduation, Ma Aiguo found Ma Yibo a job as a technician in a coal mine through his connections;

But Ma Yibo did not agree, and resolutely wanted to go to the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Suipeng to try out;

The adults must have been unable to defeat a young man, so they had to give up in the end and let Ma Yibo do the hard work on his own;

However, since my son went to Yangcheng, he not only became mature and steady, but also worked hard to build such a family business;

Although Ma Aiguo himself couldn't understand this family fortune.

During the meal, the four of them had a good meal, and Ma Yibo, Ma Aiguo, and Liu Wei also drank a level of Wuliangye;

Drinking with your family is a feeling that can only be understood after experiencing the bitterness of middle-aged adults and young adults.

Don’t worry about money, don’t worry about health, your parents are in good health, your career is going smoothly,

"Master, if you're not in a hurry, rest here for one night and then go back. If you have a place to stay, maybe my dad can catch a ride with you tomorrow?"

"Yes, Master Qian, when you come here, you should rest and recharge your batteries. If you go back tomorrow, you won't miss this one night."

Seeing what Ma Yibo and Ma Aiguo said, Master Qian hesitated for a moment and then agreed;

This year, Apple's market is not doing well, which has caused him to drive much less frequently;

But at the moment, there was really nothing to do that required him to go back in a hurry, so he agreed;

As an experienced driver who often drives long distances, I can understand how happy it is to have a bed to sleep on.

In his previous life, Ma Yibo drove from Yangcheng to Xiangcheng, Hubei Province during the Chinese New Year. The distance was not very far, about 1,300 kilometers;

However, since it is the Spring Festival period, traffic jams are inevitable;

Especially the trip out of the provincial border of Guangdong Province, a distance of more than ten kilometers, took more than seven hours, and the people in the car had a very strong desire for a bed;

Even Ma Yibo himself wanted to find a flat ground to lie down on. Even though it was very cold outside, the soreness in his waist could only be understood by drivers who have driven long distances.

Saturday, October 23, 2012.

"Here, give me a bag of apples";

"I want two bags";

“Give me this bag”;

…

The moving horse is confused. Are apples so easy to sell?

Why doesn't it feel real at all?

Saturday, an ordinary but extraordinary day.

Common is that there is Saturday every week;

It’s extraordinary because this Saturday, the cart of apples pulled by Ma Yibo’s father will be sold starting from this morning;

This is also evidence to prove whether Ma Yibo and Liu Wei were bragging in their previous phone calls;

Although it is a bit far-fetched to judge in this way, Ma Yibo and Liu Wei still got up at around four in the morning.

The same goes for Ma Aiguo. He didn't sleep deeply. He got up when he heard the noise;

After all, this morning, you can see how Aunt Qin’s business is going, and at the same time, you can also see if apples are selling well;

Yesterday, after Ma Aiguo woke up from his nap in the afternoon, he walked around Yike City and looked at the price of apples here. The lowest price was 4.5 yuan, and the quality was not good;

At that time, Ma Aiguo was thinking that it would be great if the price of apples in his family could be as good as this, and the people in the village would not have to worry about the harvest;

The real result is that not even a few merchants come to collect even eighty or ninety cents, which is the saddest thing.

Last night, Ma Yibo also told him that Apple will be sold at a price of 20 yuan per bag for members and 25 yuan per bag for non-members. That is, the unit price will be 2-2.5 yuan, deducting the shipping fee of 7,500 yuan.

, the unit price will be 1.25-1.75 yuan per catty, minus labor, the net price of apples will be 1.15-1.65 yuan per catty;

Although this price is much lower than the price of apples next to Yike City, it is not bad for a price that can’t even be sold for 89 cents in my hometown;

The most important thing is that my children's business is good, even if the apples cannot be sold, it is not a big problem;

Why the first cart only pulled 10,000 catties, Ma Aiguo also had considerations;

The first time I pulled too much, I was worried that it would cause stress to the children. If I pulled too little, the shipping fee would not be enough;

Ten thousand kilograms is just right. Even if you lose money, it's not a lot and you can afford it.

As time went by, the time slowly reached six o'clock, and one after another people began to get up and go out to exercise. Of course, some people came over to buy groceries.

Ma Aiguo looked at the people coming and going, and kept shouting in his heart, come in quickly to buy vegetables, come quickly to buy apples;

Perhaps seeing his father's nervousness, Ma Yibo came over, patted Ma Aiguo and said with a smile: "Dad, it's only around six o'clock in the morning. It's Saturday and most people haven't gotten up yet. Wait until around seven o'clock for business to start."

OK".

"Hmm, the main reason is that your warehouse has so many goods, so I'm worried that it won't be sold out";

Liu Wei answered: "Uncle Patriot, don't worry, this order of dishes will definitely be sold out. We all have experience. Besides, even if we can't sell out, we can still give them away."

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei actually laughed.

"You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? There are no free gifts when doing business."

"Young man, does this bag of apples weigh ten pounds? Is it enough to weigh it?"

An aunt who had just bought meat and vegetables asked Ma Yibo, who was standing next to the apple.

"Auntie, the scale is absolutely sufficient, our Aunt Qin is the most trustworthy";

"Xiao Duan, come on, grab a bag and weigh it on the scale";

"That's right. I buy groceries at Aunt Qin every day. Can I still not believe you?"

Although the aunt said so, she still didn't stop Duan Lang from weighing himself.

"Ten pounds and three taels";

After Duan Lang weighed himself, he shouted directly in the store.

"Auntie, you heard me, I just took this bag casually, there is absolutely no problem with weighing it";

Ma Yibo also heard Duan Lang's shout and said directly with a smile.

"Okay, young man, I believe in you. I want four bags. Can you help me send them back? My son and daughter are coming back today. When I leave in the afternoon, give them a bag each."

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it in for you";

"You should be a member too, just 20 yuan per bag."

"Yes, I processed it three days before you opened, and I visit your Aunt Qin almost every day";

"Especially in the past few days, your young boss acted bravely. Many reporters came to interview. I was watching from the side. That young man was very energetic";

"Hey, why do you look so similar? You can't be the same person";

The more the aunt talked, the more she felt something was wrong;

In Aunt Qin's shop, Ma Yibo is the tallest. Ma Yibo didn't wear Aunt Qin's work clothes last time, but now he wears red Aunt Qin's work clothes. No wonder Auntie didn't recognize him before.

"Haha, it's just the right time. Come on, put the four bags of apples and the vegetables you bought on this trolley."

Ma Yibo was not surprised to be recognized. After all, it was a community business. Even if he didn't know him today, he would get to know him over time.

"Okay, okay, you're a good young man. I'll tell our old sisters later and ask them to come over and buy apples";

In community business, the most difficult thing is word-of-mouth, but of course, the best thing is word-of-mouth;

Once the reputation goes up, business will definitely not be bad.

"Dad, push this trolley and help that person deliver it to their home";

Seeing so many people buying apples, Ma Aiguo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Ma Yibo arranged for him to give this as a gift, which was no big deal.

"Okay, then I'll follow you up."

"Boss, can you leave me a bag of apples?"

"Handsome guy, can you deliver apples to your door? It's too heavy to carry";

"Boss, will your family sell apples every day from now on?"
