Chapter 120 6 Jin of Oranges
After the meal, Xia Shiyu and Yue Qi's cooperation was finalized.
Even the price has become more favorable. After signing the contract, Xia Shiyu can start to supply goods to the supermarket steadily.
Yue Qi extended her hand to Minghua and Xia Shiyu to say goodbye, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ming. I also wish Mr. Xia a smooth cooperation with us in the future."
"I definitely will, Mr. Yue, please take care." Xia Shiyu greeted him.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to deliver it."
After Yue Qi left, Xia Shiyu also had to say goodbye to Minghua.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ming, for this. I have other things to attend to, so I'll head back now."
Minghua chuckled, "It's nothing, Boss Xia, there's no need to thank me in such a hurry. Just send me the grapes when they're ripe."
Xia Shiyu readily agreed, "Of course! The grapes I've cultivated this time are very valuable. I'll definitely send a box to Boss Ming."
"Haha, okay, then I'll wait for Boss Xia's grape harvest. Boss Xia, you can go back now if you're busy."
"Okay, goodbye." Xia Shiyu said goodbye and got into the car to head home.
It's enough that the person who bought the oranges is happy.
……
Qiu Ying and Song Yan each carried six pounds of oranges. They usually didn't find it heavy, but it was quite a burden to carry while shopping.
In addition, the two of them wanted to get the oranges home as soon as possible, because if they didn't hurry, they were afraid they would eat most of them themselves.
Qiu Ying said directly to Song Yan, "Let's go back and put the oranges away first, and then we can come out and play again later."
Song Yan nodded, "Okay, my family was also thinking about these oranges, I'll take them back quickly."
"Okay, then go and take it back quickly."
Qiu Ying nodded, and then the two of them took separate taxis home.
Qiu Ying carried the heavy bag and got on the elevator. There were several people in the elevator, all of whom were familiar neighbors.
The oranges Xia Shiyu planted this time had one special feature: they were quite fragrant. In the enclosed space of the elevator, the oranges in Qiu Ying's bag involuntarily emitted a fragrance, filling the entire elevator room.
Someone asked, "Hey, your oranges smell really good, where did you buy them?"
Qiu Ying glanced at it and saw that it was Grandpa Niu on the first floor. "Grandpa Niu, I bought this from Boss Xia at the vegetable market. There's usually a little girl or her parents setting up a stall there. Her vegetables and fruits are delicious. I can go there to buy some later."
At this moment, other people in the elevator also spoke up, "These oranges look pretty good, they look appealing and smell delicious."
"Yeah, yeah, I bought oranges at home before, but they didn't look as delicious as these."
Qiu Ying smiled awkwardly. They were all neighbors on the same floor, and she could hear the unspoken meaning in some people's words. Normally, she would be considerate and give one to each person, but this time the oranges were expensive and delicious, and it was a bit of a waste to give one to each of the many people in the elevator.
She could only pretend not to see it. Once she reached the floor, she walked out first, saying, "Haha, everyone, I'm going home now. My mom is still waiting for me to bring those oranges back home."
"Goodbye."
Grandma Song was a little disappointed that she hadn't been given any oranges. As she walked out with Grandpa Niu, she muttered to herself, "You know, those oranges smelled so good that I couldn't help but look at them several times. I even wanted Yingying to give me one to try, but I was too shy."
Grandpa Niu waved his hand, "If you want to eat them, go buy them later. Those oranges don't look cheap, it's normal for people to want to eat them."
"Sigh, that makes sense." Grandma Song thought that she could look for it herself later and find the corresponding information. She could also ask Qiu Ying for the boss's phone number or something. There should still be a way.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ying rushed home after getting off the elevator.
She opened the door, changed her shoes, and said, "I'm home."
As he spoke, he went inside and put the oranges on the table, only to find that a number of people had immediately gathered in the living room.
"Oh, Yingying's back! She's really capable this time."
"There are so many oranges, everyone grab them and eat them!"
“Our Yingying is so capable.”
"You've come at just the right time. I just heard from people in the group that dried orange peels are great for making tea, and here you are."
"Wow, Mom, I want to eat this! It looks so delicious! I want to eat oranges."
Looking at the lively scene before her and the praise from her family, Qiu Ying felt that the hardship of carrying the oranges was nothing.
Full of high spirits, he said, "It's nothing. The boss said there are a lot of oranges this time, and he'll be coming back to sell in several more batches. We'll just go and buy them then."
When Qiu's mother heard this, she was overjoyed. You see, last time, her family tried to grab radishes several times but didn't get many. Later, the radishes were all gone, and the family was extremely disappointed.
It's a shame that it tastes so bad now. I'm happy that I was able to snag a big bag of oranges right now, and that I can go and grab more later.
"Mom knew you were capable. Eat a couple more oranges later, but be careful not to eat too many, as they can cause internal heat, especially for children."
"Okay, I will take good care of my sister." Qiu Ying nodded, indicating that she would.
In fact, not only children, but also adults in the family need to be careful. In previous years, oranges were plentiful and cheap, and there was not much to do at home. People ate and drank all day long, and it was easy to get a sore throat from eating too much oranges. She even developed several ulcers.
However, Qiu Ying privately felt that these oranges were quite special. She felt that her breath was fresh after eating them, and she wanted to eat more and more. She did not experience any heatiness.
However, we really should cherish our food; it wouldn't be good if we ate it all in one day and then had nothing left.
The family happily ate the oranges, and they couldn't have been happier.
Xia Shiyu was happy to eat chicken when she got home. She originally planned to take the chicken and oranges to the city to sell, but since it was her first time selling oranges and she was going to the city to discuss business, she didn't bring them.
However, the hotel has already booked many chickens. After all, these days, people with better financial means prefer to eat local, healthy, and organic food. The price of free-range chickens here starts at 25 yuan per jin (500 grams), and selling one free-range chicken can bring in more than 100 yuan.
Many people want to eat these free-range chickens, not to mention the high-quality free-range chickens carefully bred by Xia Shiyu. She directly ordered 40 yuan per catty, which can be said to be very expensive, but Manager Wu still agreed very readily.
Xia Shiyu had his dad deliver it directly, and they also killed one to eat at home.
Yu Juan directly imitated the iron pot stew from Northeast China and made one for herself.
When Xia Shiyu returned home, she could smell the aroma of meat filling the house.
