Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich - Chapter 110: I Bought a Truck!
Chapter 110: I Bought a Truck!
Later, they wanted to buy Ji Jianyun’s fruit again, but he didn’t come again to sell it!
It was specifically those older uncles and aunts, who had suffered from health issues when they were younger, that wanted to buy his fruits. They were sick and ate the fruits from his family. They didn’t know why, but they felt a little stronger.
But again, when they wanted to buy it, they couldn’t.
The more they couldn’t buy it, the more they missed it, or rather, the more impressed they were with Ji Jianyun and Lao Qin.
Now that they saw them coming again, they came one after another and asked what they were selling.
Ji Jianyun said in a loud voice that sheeps, live chickens, eggs, and honey were from his family’s farm. He asked everyone to line up first if they wanted to buy stuff. This was the rule. Otherwise, what if someone tries to steal something during the confusion.
At the beginning, there was no order. They didn’t even know if something was stolen. After all, they had so many things to sell.
But they had experience now, so they had rules. If someone wanted to buy something, then they needed to wait in line first.
The people who came to buy things were all familiar customers. They lined up randomly the first time. As they looked through the products, they complained, “Why is there no fruit now? I want to buy fruit from you.”
“There are only persimmons left, but I plan to make dried persimmons and bring them back when they are ready,” Ji Jianyun said.
“After eating the fruits from your family, I feel much better,” An old man said with a smile.
“I’m not the only one who feels that way,” Some other person said in surprise.
“It looks like everyone feels the same. Young man, where is your family’s fruit grown? Don’t tell me there’s really no benefits?”
“…”
Everyone was discussing it intensely.
Ji Jianyun didn’t believe this at all, but he didn’t snap back. He smiled and said. “I still have 100 bottles of honey here. All the honey was produced by the bees in the orchard on the mountain. If you eat good fruit, then this honey will certainly be as good. Buy two bottles now and try them later. But, we have a limit. One person can only buy three bottles.”
“How much is a bottle?” An old man from a good family asked.
“There are two jin in a bottle. It’s not expensive, and it’s only fifty cents,” Ji Jianyun replied.
“That’s not cheap,” Someone said. It was indeed not cheap compared to the current price.
“It’s not cheap, but the honey is good. You’ve tried my fruit, isn’t it sweet? How bad can this honey be? I will use my family’s reputation to assure you that it is absolutely the best. If it is not good, then the next time I come back you can come to me for a refund!” Ji Jianyun declared.
Everyone laughed. He is worthy of a soldier, his spirit was different. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕩𝕒𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕔.𝕔𝕠𝕞♥
Soon, Ji Jianyun and Lao Qin finished putting everything on display and began to sell them.
Lao Qin was responsible for chopping meat, Ji Jianyun was responsible for collecting money. Although these two big men were extremely busy, they were also methodical.
There was a line. Everyone who wanted to buy something came one by one.
Things sold very fast. Three sheeps were sold and the people behind could not buy them. Ji Jianyun said that he would bring more next time. If they could not buy sheeps, then they could buy a live chicken from him and go back to stew it. It was cheaper by a few cents because Ji Jianyun would not be responsible for killing it and pulling out the feathers.
Everyone saw how his business was really genuine, so everyone’s impression was also good.
No wonder so many uncles and aunts with strict budgets were happy to buy from him. This chicken looked very energetic. It was not too expensive, and worth it!
There were many job opportunities in the college town. They were basically from the working class, so they had a lot of spare money. In particular, the older generation received a pension every month. It was a very good pension, and they were also willing to spend it.
Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone was shopping today to get ready for tomorrow. The timing was perfect.
So whether they had eggs, sheep, or live chickens, it all sold very quickly. Honey, too. Those old uncles and aunts insisted that they had many relatives, so they wanted to bring two bottles to them. Thus, Ji Jianyun could only let them buy five bottles each.
The one hundred bottles of honey were sold unusually fast.
They set out at 4:30 AM and arrived here at 7:30 AM. At about 8:30 AM, he and Lao Qin almost finished their work. The rest of the sheep meat was packed away in the back of Lao Qin’s truck. Ji Jianyun let him take it back for his children.
Lao Qin told him to sell it.
Ji Jianyun said that just two jin of meat, he should take it home to eat.
Lao Qin didn’t say anything.
Ji Jianyun took Lao Qin out for a meal. Although he ate a lot at home, he was a little hungry now. After eating some dumplings, Ji Jianyun said, “Lao Qin, come with me to buy a truck!”
Lao Qin was thrilled and asked, “Jianyun, why do you want to buy a car so soon?”
“My wife has some savings, and I brought it all with me. I just want to have one at home,” Ji Jianyun said and smiled.
Last night, his wife told him that he should simply buy the truck when he goes to the college town this time. Although he didn’t make much money today, he still earned 200 yuan. Plus, his wife gave him 500 yuan, and the money from the fruits. This was pretty much enough.
Lao Qin didn’t think much about it. He was really happy for his brother and said, “That’s great, I thought it would take you a while. I didn’t expect it to be so soon!”
Wasn’t it normal to buy a car when you had enough money?
Ji Jianyun went with him. Lao Qin had experience in this and helped him choose a 3,500 truck. It was practical and the performance was excellent.
Ji Jianyun tried it and felt that it was very convenient. Although it was a bit expensive, he really liked the car, so he paid for it immediately.
When the two men went back, they each drove their car home.
When Lao Qin gave the meat to his wife, she smiled and said, “Your buddy is such a good man. How much did you give you this time?”
“Ten yuan,” Lao Qin replied.
“Only ten yuan?” Lao Qin’s wife took the money and was dissatisfied.
“Is ten yuan too little?” Lao Qin asked her.
The previous two times, Jianyun gave him 30 yuan. But wasn’t it super busy then? This time it was just one day. Although it was a little busy, the profit was super high. Jianyun had to thank him for helping him buy a truck.
“Here, this is the meat Jianyun asked me to bring back. You can stew it. It’s good sheep meat!” Lao Qin said.
Lao Qin’s wife was pursing her lips, but when she saw the meat, she smiled and said, “That’s nice. Next time he asks you for help, you should go again.”
“He should not be needing my help anymore. Jianyun bought his own truck today,” Lao Qin said.
“What?” Lao Qin’s wife’s eyes widened. “So he bought his own car? How much money did he make this time? How much did he buy it for?”
“I don’t know, but this is Jianyun’s personal matter. Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and do what you have to do,” Lao Qin said to get away from her.
