Chapter 153 Grapes as a Gift
Xia Shiyu looked up and saw that it was Lu Ming'an, who had bought tomatoes from her before.
She smiled and said, "I'm just passing by on my way today and I'm selling some grapes with me."
Lu Ming'an's eyes lit up as he looked at the grapes, which were the size of eggs. "Boss Xia, you have new products! That's great! I only bought two boxes of oranges last time and I've been craving these ever since I finished them."
She bought two boxes of oranges last time, but couldn't resist, and her family also wanted to eat them, so they were all gone in a few days. Since then, she hasn't been able to eat any fruit.
She went out for a walk today because she had nothing to do, and unexpectedly, she encountered a new batch of fruit.
Seeing the large grapes, she was satisfied and didn't even bother to check the price.
He reached out and picked up the heavy bag. "Boss Xia, I'll take this bag. Could you get me a bag to put it in?"
"Okay," Xia Shiyu said, taking the bag and weighing it. It weighed about 3.5 jin (1.25 kg).
"Here's 175 yuan."
"Okay," Lu Ming'an paid the price with satisfaction and went home with the grapes.
The boss next to him, Mr. Hou, couldn't help but feel envious as he watched Xia Shiyu earn more than 100 yuan in the blink of an eye. He could easily earn a thousand yuan from just a few bunches of grapes left, which was much easier than his job.
After Lu Ming'an, some of his former customers returned. Although they were shocked by the price of the grapes, they still bought some because they were really tempted by them.
Later, a wealthy customer even came along. Sun Zhengqi was out shopping with his wife. He had recently been looking to give gifts to people to build relationships, so he and his wife came out to buy some expensive wines or teas.
His wife, Li Tao, said, "If you ask me, you should go buy some tea. I've heard that Old Wang loves tea, so just buy some good tea and send it to him."
Sun Zhengqi, looking bald, said, "The tea is good, but we can't just give tea as a gift. Everyone gives tea; it's nothing new."
Li Tao: "The most important thing about giving gifts is to make no mistakes and to touch people's hearts. Giving tea is no big deal, you can just add a few extras."
"Sigh, let me think about it some more," Sun Zhengqi sighed.
Li Tao shook her head. Regardless of what her husband thought, since they had already gone to the market, she decided to buy some groceries as well. She led her husband forward.
As I walked, I spotted a familiar figure surrounded by a group of people.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Mr. Xia, the owner of the restaurant that specializes in delicious dishes.
She excitedly patted Sun Zhengqi on the shoulder, "Old Sun, Old Sun, look, it's Boss Xia! She must be here to sell vegetables. Let's go buy some of her vegetables; we're in for a treat tonight!"
Before Sun Zhengqi could react, his wife pulled him forward.
As he approached, he saw the beautiful, glistening grapes, quietly arranged in the basket, drawing his gaze in.
Li Tao exclaimed, "What huge grapes! I've never seen grapes this big before. They must be comparable to those giant grapes from abroad!"
Those who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines had the same reaction when they saw the newcomers and couldn't help but say, "That's right, we asked Boss Xia and he said this is a specially bred variety. It's big, satisfying, and delicious."
"They are indeed big, and they look delicious." Li Tao nodded and was about to grab a skewer when she saw the 50 yuan per jin (500g) next to it.
My hand froze in mid-air. No wonder she said there were still grapes left even with so many people around; it turns out the price was a bit high and everyone was reluctant to spend the money.
She hesitated a bit; the price was a bit expensive, over a hundred yuan for just one string of skewers.
But she really wanted some, so she thought she might as well buy some to satisfy her craving. She wanted to ask Sun Zhengqi for his opinion, but Sun Zhengqi said directly, "Boss Xia, we'll take all the remaining skewers."
"Ah!" The crowd erupted in an uproar. If this person was going to buy all the grapes, the remaining bunches would cost several hundred.
"I never expected him to be a rich kid. He bought grapes worth hundreds of dollars without hesitation."
"There are still a lot of rich people. I feel a little reluctant to buy just one skewer."
Hearing the voices around them, Li Tao pulled Sun Zhengqi aside and whispered, "Old Sun, what are you doing? Why did you buy so many at once? If you want to eat them, we can just buy one skewer."
Sun Zhengqi shook his head; he had been frowning just moments before, but now he was all smiles.
"Honey, I've figured out what to give you as a gift." He nodded forward with his chin.
Li Tao immediately realized what was going on: delivering grapes!
She looked at the grapes and realized they really did seem to work!
But just to be on the safe side, Li Tao said to Xia Shiyu, "Boss Xia, let's buy one skewer to try first."
"Okay," Xia Shiyu said, picking up a string of scales, putting it in a bag, and handing it to them.
Li Tao and Sun Zhengqi simply grabbed one, wiped it casually with a tissue, and popped it into their mouths.
The moment you bite into it, the crisp, sweet juice bursts in your mouth, releasing a fragrant aroma. The sweet flesh makes you want to keep eating it.
Li Tao couldn't resist and ate a grape in two or three bites. After she finished, she and Sun Zhengqi exchanged a glance.
Both of them looked amazed and satisfied.
"Boss Xia, let us have the rest."
They had long appreciated the deliciousness of the vegetables and fruits grown in summer, but they did not expect that the grapes this time would be so amazing, even more delicious than the oranges last time.
In this situation, they felt that buying the grapes would definitely be a great success.
"Okay, then I'll wrap them all up for you."
Xia Shiyu found the bags and weighed them for them, because she didn't provide gift bags, and they would have to buy their own bags later.
The remaining bunches of grapes cost a total of over 800 yuan, which is quite a sum.
However, if it's for giving as a gift, Sun Zhengqi thinks it's perfectly acceptable.
He and his wife left satisfied, carrying several bags of grapes. Xia Shiyu, seeing that all the grapes were sold out, also packed up and went home.
The onlookers felt it was a pity that Xia Shiyu had sold all the grapes.
"I should have bought some to try back then."
"Boss Xia, when are you coming to sell grapes again?"
Xia Shiyu thought for a moment and replied, "I can come the day after tomorrow. I will also open an online store later, so please follow me and recommend it to your relatives and friends."
"Oh, so Boss Xia is going to start selling goods online? Well, it's true, Boss Xia's fruits and vegetables are so delicious, there will definitely be a lot of people who like to buy them online. But we have to supply our local area first."
"Yes, yes, I'll take note. Mr. Xia, please sell ours first and then sell them elsewhere."
"Don't worry, I will." Xia Shiyu smiled and sent out the account information, then rode her tricycle home.
