Chapter 264 Going to Fuzhou to Buy Fruit Trees
Lin Dashan was suddenly called by Shen Wanning, and he quickly responded with a smile, "Okay, if you want to buy a tree, come to my house and find me."
The village head then said, "My family will grow grapes! I'll set aside one acre of land specifically for growing grapes. In the summer, you can enjoy the coolness under the grape trellises, and then I'll treat everyone to some grapes."
"Then I'll grow peaches. I love eating peaches the most," said another person.
The person next to him patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You like peaches so much, you won't eat all the peaches in your orchard by then, will you? Haha!"
Everyone is thinking about whether to start a fruit tree business.
Someone even came up to Shen Wanning and asked, "Wanning, are you serious? Are you really going to take as many fruits as we have?"
Shen Wanning smiled and nodded, "Seriously, but let me be frank. Even though I accept all the fruits, you can't cheat me by passing off inferior goods as good ones. Otherwise, I won't accept any of their fruits. Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes."
The village head stepped forward and said, "Wan Ning is right. She would rather lose money herself than let everyone else lose money. If anyone dares to sell some bad fruits, I will not tolerate it."
"That's right, whoever dares to sell bad fruits will be the public enemy of our Daqing Village!" someone echoed below.
"Yes, I agree. Wan Ning is thinking about all of us. We can't lie to her."
Shen Wanning waved her hand. "I know you're all simple people and wouldn't do such a thing. Apart from this, there's nothing else. You can follow my dad to my house now and tell me the types and quantities of fruit trees you need."
The village head then asked, "Wan Ning, can we only plant the same fruit trees as yours? Are other varieties okay?"
Shen Wanning thought for a moment and said, "For now, let's just plant the same thing as me, or watermelon will do. We can plant more watermelon."
Watermelon juice is delicious, especially in the hot summer, drinking a glass of iced watermelon juice is perfect!
"Okay, then there are six kinds of fruits. They can plant whatever they want." said the village head.
"I'd like to mention that you can choose pears, grapes, lemons, peaches, watermelons and oranges as fruit trees," the village head said loudly.
"Remember, Uncle Village Head, I like to eat watermelon and I want to grow watermelon." Someone shouted with a smile.
"Well, go ahead. Anyone who wants to plant trees can go to Lao Lin's house and tell them. After the registration is completed tomorrow, I will take a few people and Wan Ning to the county town to buy trees the day after tomorrow." The village head said with a smile.
After saying that, everyone followed Lin Dashan to the Lin family, and Shen Wanning followed behind them.
There were too many people going, and some people hadn’t made up their minds yet, so people continued to come to register to buy fruit trees the next day.
After dinner, they counted the tea trees, other fruit trees, and watermelon seedlings, totaling 125,300 trees.
Even the new villagers came to register to plant fruit trees. Chen Zihao was the most forthright, buying two thousand trees by himself, presumably using all the money he'd earned during that time.
Not only did some people come to register to buy saplings, but many also went to the village head to buy land. They had worked for Old Lin for the past few months and earned a lot of money, just enough to buy land and saplings.
Of course, there were also a few who bought nothing. They had finally made some money and were reluctant to invest it again.
Shen Wanning could understand the actions of different people. After all, doing business was risky. If they encountered a drought or flood like last year, they would suffer losses.
After making the calculations, after breakfast the next day, Shen Wanning, the village head, and a few young men went to the county town to buy saplings.
She went to the shop where she bought the saplings last time. When she entered, she found that the owner actually remembered her.
"Ms. Shen, long time no see. Are you here to buy saplings again?" Boss Zhao warmly welcomed them in.
Shen Wanning said half-seriously and deliberately jokingly, "The last time I came, you said only men could do business. This time, I was worried you'd turn me away, so I brought all our folks with me."
"Miss Shen is really good at joking. Everyone knows that Miss Shen has been conferred the title of county lady. No one dares to stop you, no matter how hard I try!" Boss Zhao said with a laugh.
Everyone in Qinghe County knew about the emergence of a county lord. After all, it was Shen Wanning who discovered cassava and told everyone about it. Furthermore, Shen Wanning was the first county lord in their county, so naturally, many people knew about it.
But this boss Zhao is really interesting. Since he knew that she was a county lady, he treated her the same as he treated an ordinary customer, not as fawning as some people.
Shen Wanning and the others walked in and sat down. Shen Wanning was the first to speak, "I came here today to discuss a larger deal with Boss Zhao. I was wondering if Boss Zhao could provide so many saplings."
"Every time the county lord comes here, he always discusses big business. Besides, if I can't handle such a big business, other places will be even less able to handle it. Otherwise, the county lord wouldn't come to me, right?" Boss Zhao said with a smile.
Shen Wanning smiled slightly. "This time, we want to buy 125,300 saplings. Among them, 57,000 are tea trees, 13,000 are grapes, 10,000 are peaches, 16,000 are oranges, 8,300 are pears, and 21,000 are watermelons."
Boss Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency wants too much. I have to get these from other counties. I may not be able to provide them to you in a short time. It will take about half a month. I wonder if you can wait?"
"Of course, Boss Zhao can send them to Daqing Village in batches. This way, we can also plant them at different times," said Shen Wanning.
"Okay, then I will contact the shops in several nearby counties and send as many saplings as I can to the county magistrate first," said Boss Zhao.
"Just like last time, I'll pay Boss Zhao half of the money as a deposit first, and then pay the remaining half when all the saplings arrive. Is that okay?" Shen Wanning asked.
Boss Zhao smiled heartily, "Of course, even if you don't want to pay the deposit, you can wait until all the saplings are delivered before paying. We can trust your character."
"Business requires integrity. I'd better pay half of the deposit first!"
After Shen Wanning finished speaking, Boss Zhao called the waiter and brought over an abacus. After calculating the money, Shen Wanning took out a banknote from his sleeve and paid half of the money as a deposit.
"I will start delivering saplings to Daqing Village tomorrow, but there are not many saplings in Qinghe County, and not many can be delivered in the next few days. Please wait a moment, County Master." said Manager Zhao.
"It doesn't matter. We can't plant so many trees at once. We have to take it slowly." Shen Wanning said.
