Chapter 15
Xu Mingliang sat in the living room of the Tang family and waited. He only had one day, and he had to rush back to City Y in the evening, so Tang Xiaoxiao didn't care about being tired. After returning home, he tidied himself up and went to the kitchen to wash two plates of fruit. When they came out, a plate of strawberries and a plate of grapes were all grown in her greenhouse.

Take it to the living room and invite Xu Mingliang to taste it. Xu Mingliang squeezed a strawberry into the mouth, and he was full of praise immediately. The fruit is big and plump, and it is sweet and juicy after one bite. Even better.

He tasted a few more grapes. The black and purple grapes shone attractively against the backdrop of the water droplets, and the taste was even more delicious. Xu Mingliang couldn't help but ate some more, and then stopped.

Now is not the season for strawberries and grapes to be on the market at all, and the ones sold on the market are all grown unnaturally, and the taste is always indescribably strange, without the natural fruity fragrance of seasonal fruits at all, but the ones that Tang Xiaoxiao brought out are better than the strawberries and grapes. Seasonal produce tastes even better.

Xu Mingliang is in the fresh food industry. When he was in the restaurant before, most people thought that the chef's skills had improved. Only he tasted it after a few bites. The problem was mainly with the ingredients.

The green vegetables at the banquet are so tender and delicious that people can’t stop their chopsticks, but the meat and vegetables are mediocre and nothing special.

That's not the cook's fault at all.

"Smile, you will definitely cause looting if you take these things out."

Tang Xiaoxiao knew how good her stuff was, and the other party's reaction was within her expectation.After taking a short break, Tang Xiaoxiao took the other party to her vegetable base. Looking at the rows of neat high-tech greenhouses, Xu Mingliang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The subsequent cooperation talks went smoothly. In Xu Mingliang's boutique supermarket, a separate area was opened up for Tang Xiaoxiao, only selling the products provided by Tang Xiaoxiao, and adopting a profit-sharing model.Xu Mingliang originally wanted to make a proper concession and only charge 10% of the commission, but Tang Xiaoxiao insisted on giving it to 25%. She has more or less contact with various industries in her previous life, and knows that most shopping malls and merchants have a commission of about 20%-25% About %, Xu Mingliang didn't hide his mind from her, and she didn't mind giving up more profits.

As for the pricing, Tang Xiaoxiao decided again and again to sell at a high price, and the final price was almost three times that of similar products on the market.Although Tang Xiaoxiao mainly relies on space to grow vegetables and fruits, and the actual cost is not as high as what he said, the nutritional value of these fruits and vegetables is real. People will gradually nourish their bodies after eating them for a long time. It is true that the more they eat, the healthier they are. The crops produced by those pesticide hormones on the market are completely different, so the price is definitely worth the money.

Xu Mingliang's boutique supermarket is also aimed at high-end consumers. They don't look at the price when shopping, they only look at the quality, so he has no objection to Tang Xiaoxiao's pricing. At least in his opinion, Tang Xiaoxiao's appearance and taste alone can After tasting it, he will definitely pay for it.

In the end, the two finalized the verbal contract. In addition to the share ratio, Tang Xiaoxiao provided no less than a certain amount of vegetables and fruits every week, and Xu Mingliang sent a fresh-keeping truck to take care of the transportation. Except for Xu Mingliang's supermarket, Tang Xiaoxiao was not allowed to provide other vegetables and fruits in Y City. Merchant sales.

The point about exclusive sales rights was brought up by Xu Mingliang. In business, although the two are very close relatives, there are still some things that should be explained.Tang Xiaoxiao has no objection either. There are good things but not many. In third-tier cities like City Y and City A, it is enough to have a store that sells her products.

After happily negotiating the cooperation plan, Xu Mingliang declined the invitation to stay for dinner, and hurried back to City Y.

The next day, an electronic contract was sent to Tang Xiaoxiao's mailbox, and after printing it out, both parties signed and stamped it to become effective. Xu Mingliang acted very quickly, and within a week he notified Tang Xiaoxiao that the boutique area had been renovated and could be distributed.

Tang Xiaoxiao grows dozens of common vegetables in the greenhouse. There are not many kinds of fruits, except for strawberries and grapes, there are also watermelons, cantaloupe, and winter dates.There is no tropical fruit, it’s not that she can’t cultivate it, there is room for any fruit to ignore the regional habits, but even if the things on the surface are pretending, the growth space of tropical fruits and local fruits must be distinguished Yes, the growth environment required by the two is too different, wouldn't it be unbelievable to plant them all together.She hasn't gotten around to building a tropical planting environment just yet.

Xu Mingliang sent two refrigerated transport trucks. Tang Xiaoxiao hired a few middle-aged aunts to help with picking and packing in advance. The truck arrived around 10:30 this morning, and the two drivers and a few workers moved all the fruits and vegetables together. After getting in the car, he left quickly. Around [-]:[-] in the morning, Tang Xiaoxiao's products were displayed in the fruit and vegetable boutique area of ​​Xu Mingliang's Shenglong Supermarket.

There are not many customers in the supermarket at this time. The time for young office workers to visit the supermarket is after get off work in the evening, and the uncles and aunts who are at home rush to buy the freshest ingredients early in the morning, and the boutique area is expensive because of its high price. There were even fewer people, and it seemed a little deserted.

At this time, a well-dressed woman in her 40s was walking leisurely with a shopping cart. When she passed the air-conditioned fresh-keeping cabinet, the salesperson of the supermarket happened to be putting a bunch of grapes that had just been wrapped in plastic wrap into the freezer. The woman looked at the plump and attractive purple-black grapes, and couldn't help reaching out her hand to take them. When she saw the price on the label pasted on the plastic wrap, the woman was speechless.

A bunch of grapes of about two catties actually costs more than 80 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 40 yuan per catty. You must know that the best imported black grapes at this time are only a dozen or less.

The condition of the woman's family is not bad, so it's not that she can't afford it, but she still thinks the price is too much.The woman is also straightforward, so she immediately called the salesperson and asked directly, "Is your price wrong?"

The salesperson looked at it and replied with a smile: "There is no wrong customer, this is a new boutique in our store, and the price is 42.99 yuan per catty."

The woman's eyes widened: "You guys are too dark! Why are grapes so expensive!"

The salesperson's smile remained unchanged, and she still patiently took out the small box that was put aside, which contained cleaned samples, with a small disposable fork attached, handed it to the woman and said, "Customer, you can try it, our supermarket has always They are all of high quality and low price, and the price is the lowest in the same industry. This new product is expensive for a reason, and I can guarantee that there is no grape in Y City that is better than this."

The woman dubiously took one with a fork and put it in her mouth, and the salesperson continued: "And all the products in our boutique area come from the same cultivation base, which is authorized to our store for exclusive operation, ensuring that no pesticide is used in the growth process." , zero pollution and pure natural, very good for the body, long-term consumption also has health benefits.”

Bite open the skin of the grape and taste the flesh. It is really fruity and sweet, more delicious than any kind of grape she has ever tasted. Can not help but slightly reddened.Coughing to cover up, the woman pretended not to care and said, "Well, it's not bad, I'll take this."

Said that he took the box of grapes before, put it in the shopping cart and left.

The salesperson watched her leave with a smile, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

In fact, she was also very worried. In the morning, the manager came to an emergency meeting and said that a batch of high-end fruits and vegetables would be put on the shelves. She was shocked when she saw the price. Would anyone really pay for such an expensive product?
Although the manager asked them to prepare samples of some fruits and vegetables, and vowed that as long as customers tasted them, they would buy them, but she still didn't believe it. She was actually guilty when she said those introductions to customers.

But I didn't expect that the woman actually bought it
Is it really that amazing?So delicious that it's hard to refuse once you taste it?

The salesperson thought suspiciously.

Similar scenes were staged one after another, and the salesperson in the boutique area spent almost as much time talking about this day as in the past month.Almost every customer will question the prices of various products. Most of them suspect that they have posted the wrong price tag. After learning that it is indeed the price, most of them sneered and shook their heads and walked away. A few people chose to try it. , and then it is really fragrant.

Of course, there are also many people who do not buy after tasting, but it is not because the food is bad, but because those people simply do not intend to spend such an expensive price to buy common vegetables and fruits.In their cognition, don’t they just look good and taste better? Ordinary dishes are not inedible. As for health and unhealthy issues, Chinese people who have eaten pesticide-induced vegetables for more than ten years say they don’t care at all.

That night, in a high-end community, the hostess of a family ate dinner alone, and then washed a plate of grapes and placed them on the coffee table in the living room.

This woman is the one in the supermarket during the day. The woman's name is Bai Bing. She is a freelance writer. She has free time and usually has no hobbies. In addition to traveling, she spends her spare time shopping in supermarkets.Her husband is an executive of a five-star hotel. He is busy with business and often has irregular off-duty hours. She is also used to eating alone.

That day her husband came home very early, and she had just put down the grapes when she heard the door open.The husband entered the room reeking of alcohol, without taking off his shoes, and fell headlong into the sofa.The relationship between the couple is still good. Bai Bing looked at her husband's flushed face and felt distressed. He took off his shoes, socks and jacket, went into the bathroom and threw them into the washing machine, and put hot water in the bathtub, ready to take a bath. supplies.

After finishing his work, he returned to the living room, only to find that her husband had already sat up, his eyes were still a little confused, but his face was full of satisfaction, and one hand was stretched out to the plate on the coffee table.

The number of grapes on the plate has obviously been reduced by half, and a small pile of grape skins is piled up in the small ashtray next to it.

Bai Bing was a little surprised.

Her husband hates sweets the most, and he hardly touches fruit. She has never seen him take a bite of fruit on his own initiative in all these years together.

Seeing Bai Bing come out, her husband raised his head and grinned silly at her, saying, "My wife, grapes, delicious!"

Bai Bing asked amusedly, "Why did you eat this all of a sudden?"

The husband replied: "It smells good. Well, it seduces me to eat it."

The man in his forties showed a childlike expression on his face, so there is no such thing as the well-dressed elite style on weekdays.

Thinking of the delicacies that he had tasted during the day, Bai Bing couldn't help but sat down, and the couple ate a whole plate of grapes after a while.

Satisfied, he got up to take a shower and went to bed. The man woke up early the next morning and let out a "huh" in surprise.

Bai Bing had finished washing and was sitting in front of the dresser for maintenance. When she heard her husband's voice, she turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

The man said: "Every time I drink alcohol, I have a headache for a while the next day, but today I don't feel any pain at all, and I feel very clear-headed and very energetic!"

Bai Bing is aware of her husband's problems. It is true that every time he drinks alcohol, he has a terrible headache, and taking medicine doesn't help, but he often has to drink in order to socialize.Today was really the first time he had no headache after a hangover.

The couple thought about it and didn't know why, but Bai Bing thought of the plate of grapes they ate last night, and remembered that the salesperson said eating it was good for the body, but they thought it was impossible, it was just grapes. magic?
Although she felt unreliable in her heart, when she went out in the afternoon, she couldn't help turning into Shenglong Supermarket. This time, she bought some cucumbers and tomatoes in addition to grapes.

 Catch bugs.
