Chapter 31: Repairing the Vegetable Garden

After signing the contract, leaving the advance payment and address, Xu Dong and his mother left the flower fertilizer store and continued their shopping spree. Read М

The truck drove south along the main road.

The road was full of people rushing to buy, and the two did not encounter any good opportunities. Some were just some scattered ones, which were not attractive at all.

Until the sun set, when the mother and son were about to turn back, they were lucky enough to come across another product that was quite satisfactory.

This time the product was an electric fan, a warehouse of electric fans, the quality was fine, and the brand belonged to a well-known manufacturer.

"Boss, you bid, I will take care of it if the price is right."

Xu Dong really wanted to get this batch of goods, and he would never have to worry about the sales of electric fans in the future. As the saying goes, if you buy it, you will make money, and it will be a big profit.

Boss Wang hesitated. He used to be an e-commerce business. Last year, he opened an offline store in the home appliance city, focusing on small home appliances. His business was pretty good.

But for some reason, electric fans have been unsalable. It has only recently started to pick up, so there is a lot of inventory in the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, there was a rush to buy. If the warehouse was not so remote, this batch of goods should have been sold out in the afternoon.

He didn't want to miss the opportunity, but he was afraid of selling too cheaply.

However, the market is unpredictable at the moment, and the upper level may intervene in the rush to buy at any time. After thinking about it, Boss Wang decided to take the money and put it in the bag.

So he said a "regular" price: "I have more than 5,200 electric fans in this batch. I won't tell you the unit price. Take them all for 1.8 million."

Xu Dong had already accepted this price in his heart, but he still put on a bargaining posture to prevent Boss Wang from thinking that he sold too cheaply and wanted to regret it.

After some wrangling, Boss Wang got a little impatient and shouted:

"At worst, I will take the goods directly to the home appliance city to sell them tomorrow morning. Although it is difficult to find a transport vehicle, I will pay ten times the freight. I don't believe that no one will accept the order."

Xu Dong felt that it was almost done, so he "reluctantly" said: "Okay, Boss Wang, you win. 1.8 million. As long as the contract is signed, I will transfer the money to you immediately."

"That's more like it. You will definitely make a lot of money if you take my batch of electric fans."

Boss Wang finally showed a happy smile. Although this order was not a huge profit, he also made about 800,000, which was not a small amount.

People should not be too greedy. This is his experience in doing business for many years.

After the transaction was completed, Boss Wang directly handed the warehouse key to Xu Dong. Anyway, he could not do business in the near future, and there was no other goods in the warehouse, so there was nothing to lose.

Xu Dong also couldn't find a transport vehicle, so he had to go out in person. It took three days and more than 20 trips back and forth to transport all the electric fans back to the courtyard.

Since the basement was already full and the yard was about to be renovated, they could only store it in the house, occupying four free rooms.

When Xu Dong returned the key to the warehouse to Boss Wang again, the other party was very upset. There was no sign of official intervention, and the rush to buy became more and more intense.

Boss Wang really made a mistake this time.

So far, the rush to buy in the Xu family has officially ended. The whole family is exhausted, and even Xu's mother doesn't want to toss anymore.

But the matter is not over yet. Next, we have to hurry up to repair the vegetable garden. The planting soil will arrive tomorrow, and there is no time to delay.

According to the plan discussed by Xu Dong and Xu's mother, they plan to dig a rectangular pit in the yard with a length of 12 meters, a width of 8 meters, and a depth of 1 meter.

One meter deep is already the limit. If you dig down a dozen centimeters, you will get the concrete roof of the basement.

After digging the pit, the next step is to fill the pit with planting soil, and finally build a circle of calf-high fences with blue bricks, which will be perfect!

It is also worth mentioning that although the vegetable garden is not large in area, the amount of work is not small. It is estimated that 100 cubic meters of earth and stone will be dug out, and the same amount of planting soil will be backfilled later.

If Xu Dong relies on himself alone, it is estimated that he will not be able to finish it in two or three months.

Therefore, he can only look for "external aid" and finally outsource it to a small contractor at a nearby construction site, who is also responsible for handling the excavated earth and stone.

Xu Dong is generous and the contractor works quickly. With more than a dozen workers and the assistance of a small excavator, the earth pit was dug in one night.

The next night, the owner of the flower fertilizer store arrived as scheduled, and also brought two dump trucks. The planting soil was packed in woven bags and piled high in the car.

"Boss Zhou, how much soil can you carry in this truck?" Xu Dong asked, looking at the dump truck.

The owner of the fertilizer store pointed at the numbers with his right hand: "One truck is about 7 and a half tons."

Then he analyzed: "Two trucks are 15 tons. I can make about 4 trips a night, and I can finish transporting them all tomorrow night."

"That's good!"

Xu Dong didn't want to spend too much time on the vegetable garden. There were still many things to do later!

Next, the contractor led the workers to unload, transport, and landfill, providing one-stop service.

After another day, the vegetable garden was completely completed. Xu Dong gave the workers an additional bonus of more than 10,000 yuan, and each worker could get 1,000 yuan.

In his previous life, he was also one of them and knew the hard work on the construction site.

...

When Xu Ma got up early in the morning, she looked at the repaired vegetable garden and was really satisfied. It was exactly the same as she imagined.

During breakfast, the family inevitably talked about the vegetable garden. Xu Ma and Yang Lina were both people who had never planted properly, and they didn't know what to plant.

Xu Dong had worked part-time in a planting factory for a period of time in his previous life. He was the most experienced person in the family, so he directly suggested:

"In this climate, it is best to plant some cold-resistant vegetables, such as radishes, lettuce, cabbage and celery. You can also plant a few tomatoes, which can be used for both cooking and fruit."

"Husband, where did you learn these?" Yang Lina asked in surprise.

"I read it in a book."

Xu Dong drank a sip of soy milk and then said:

"I just happen to have a few books on greenhouse planting. I will give them to you later. You and mom can think about it more when you have time. It's very simple. You will be able to plant it a few times."

Yang Lina nodded. Compared with the outside world, she prefers to stay at home, take care of the baby every day, and take care of the vegetable garden when she has time. There is no more comfortable life than this.

Xu's mother is not so enthusiastic. Although she is willing to grow vegetables, she is more afraid that her children will not have enough vegetables to eat. At most, it is just an interest, not even a hobby.

She prefers to go out to dance square dance, and then find opportunities to show off her triplets, the courtyard house at home, her son's success, and her daughter-in-law's filial piety...

Dad Xu suddenly coughed and turned to Xu's mother and said, "I have also seen a lot of videos of growing vegetables on my phone. I will send you the video link later."

"Forget it, let Nana learn it. I might as well dance two more square dances with this time!"

Xu's mother waved her hand, looking extremely impatient.
