088: Market News

Two days later, Chu Yifeng helped Wang Cheng print the food label he wanted after contacting the printing factory. According to the information he gave and the items he requested, he printed the food labels and they were sent directly, a large bundle of labels estimated for this year and the next. Wang Cheng double-checked it and determined that there were no typographical errors on the label design. Then he and several others, along with Mama Wang, applied the labels to the jars of jam they had made.

The jars for the jam were selected by Wang Cheng himself. A jar was only half the size of a normal soda bottle. Because more and more jars were needed, he had customized a lot, but he also had a lot to sterilize and dry. Because the process was complicated, more and more workers were invited.

"Chengcheng, I heard that this food label is difficult to get. It should take a long time to go through a lot of procedures and reviews. How did you do it so quickly?" Papa Wang knew a little about this, and was, well, surprised to see Wang Cheng so soon.

Wang Cheng said, "Dad, the label is not the same as the trademark. The trademark is still in production. It is a symbol and is not that fast. The label can be done as long as the information is ready. I also contacted some supermarkets two days ago. They all agreed to place an order with me, and I'm afraid that they will change their minds if it takes too long."

"However, if you put the trademark on it later, will customers think that they are two different jams?" Papa Wang was mainly worried that it would affect the sales of the jam.

"Isn't there a salesperson in the supermarket? As long as our products can be sold, they will see the profit and increase the order volume. Don't worry, they will help us promote it."

"You are right."

Wang Cheng wiped his sweat silently. Fortunately, his father didn't continue to ask, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't show his flaws.

Regarding some documents for applying for food sales, it was true that it was not possible to get them so quickly. According to the general process, the information found by Wang Cheng himself, even if the documents were complete, it would take seven to fifteen days to complete. It was entirely Chu Yifeng's credit to be able to do it so quickly. When Wang Cheng first gave it to him, he thought he would follow the ordinary process.

After labeling, they needed to pack it, and optimize the appearance a bit more before it could get on the table.

Wang Cheng had fully figured out the shopping psychology of some women, even the aunts. They would first observe the food packaging, and then determine whether the goods were genuine or not. This showed that the packaging was really important.

There was no food packaging factory in the Guan’s Village. Wang Cheng wanted to send the jam to a packaging factory in the city. The packaging factory was found by Chu Yifeng when he contacted the printing factory. With his personal assurance, Wang Cheng felt very relieved.

The next day, Wang Cheng called Manager Xu of the food packaging factory. The boss of the packing factory had already instructed Manager Xu, and he quickly sent a medium-sized truck over. Although Wang Cheng told him that only a small truck would be sufficient, Manager Xu did not dare to neglect him. The boss himself ordered, so when it came down to this, the other party must be a distinguished guest.

Wang Cheng and Papa Wang joined forces to move a basket of jams onto the truck. The items were heavy, and because they were fragile glass jars, they had to be very careful. The driver also helped to move them. His strength was so strong that he alone could carry a basket.

After driving on the road, it made a slight impact on the jars. Wang Cheng was worried that it would break the jars, so he slowed the driving master down. However, the master was an experienced middle-aged man. Manager Xu sent him out so it showed the importance of this matter.

Although the procedure was troublesome, it was essential to making money. Wang Cheng started with an idea at first, and didn't think much about it later. However, since he started it, he must do it to the end.

Autumn fruits were gradually ripening one after another, and they could pick ripe and fresh fruits on the fruit mountain almost every day.

Since his eldest aunt resigned to work for Wang Cheng's family, she has worked very hard, taking her son and several villagers up the mountain every day,.

In addition to picking the ripe fruits, they also needed to clean up the weeds near the fruit trees, and then pull out the fruit trees that were no longer growing or rotten, replanting new seedlings. When there was nothing to do, Mama Wang would also go up the mountain to help, and those fruit seedlings were selected by herself.

Since Wang Cheng got involved in these things, his mother’s plan to find a plot of land to grow vegetables had also been abandoned.. However, this life itself had already been very fulfilling.

The packaging of the jam took a few days. These two days were relatively idle. Wang Cheng went to the north mountain with his father. After working hard during this time, the north mountain’s reclamation had been half completed. Fortunately, the weather was getting colder, and everyone no longer needed to go to work under the hot sun.

After returning in the afternoon, Wang Cheng made a trip to the marketplace.

The marketplace in the Guan’s Village was much busier than before. After Shiquan County disappeared, the original villagers moved to several nearby villages. The flow of people in the marketplace suddenly increased, and some corners that were originally empty also set up for sale. The stalls and businesses were doing well, and most of the shops had also increased their income by a lot.

Wang Cheng wore a straw hat and sunglasses and rode on his old bicycle. Almost no one recognized him. He went all the way to the seed shop. The owner of this shop was a middle-aged man. He was a local of the Guan’s Village and acquaintances with his grandpa. Because their family wanted to grow a large area of ​​medicinal plants, the middle-aged man and his wife once took the initiative to visit the house. Mama Wang saw that they were sincere and asked Wang Cheng to buy seeds at their home.

"Second Uncle Guan, I want to buy some seeds." Wang Cheng took off his straw hat. The Second Uncle Guan he called was the second eldest of his family, so the juniors called him Second Uncle Guan.

Uncle Guan was tinkering with things at the door. He heard the voice and found that it was Wang Cheng. Just now he thought it was someone else because of the way he was dressed. He immediately became enthusiastic, "It turned out to be Wang Cheng. Come in, what seeds do you need, I basically have everything here."

Wang Cheng looked around, and there were indeed a lot of seeds with labels on them. "I want some seeds of balloon flower, garden angelica, and white peony." Now it was autumn, and these seeds and flowers will be better sown in these days.

Uncle Guan immediately took out a bag of balloon flower seeds from the cabinet.

Wang Cheng noticed that there was a bag of balloon flower seeds already at his feet, and he felt it was strange. Why did he get the ones from the cabinet? "Uncle Guan, aren't there balloon flower seeds here?"

Uncle Guan laughed as soon as he heard him, "This is Chenji's one-year-old balloon flower seed. The germination rate is usually not high. This bag has the real good seeds. The germination rate is as high as 70%. Before planting, you must remember to test the germination rate first. I’ll write to you about how, later. The same is true for the garden angelica and white peony. ”

Wang Cheng did not refuse, and asked him for a large bag of each. After paying the bill, Second Uncle Guan suddenly called him. "Wang Cheng, if your family wants seedlings, you can come to me. This year, it is a bit late, but if your family still needs them, I have a source to get a lot of seedlings." This was an unexpected harvest.

Seeing that Uncle Guan was interested in doing business with him, Wang Cheng nodded, "I will find Uncle Guan if necessary."

With this promise, Second Uncle Guan smiled and watched him leave.

Wang Cheng didn't go home directly, he took his bicycle and went around the rest of the marketplace. He bought the dinner dishes on the way so that Mama Wang wouldn’t have to run again. After half an hour, there was some stuff hung up on Wang Cheng's bike. His bag contained fresh vegetables, only lacking meat. He thought about buying a piece of pork and a few fish. When he arrived, the street in front of him was unexpectedly blocked.

"What happened?"

Wang Cheng glanced ahead for a bit, but did not see anything. He was not interested in joining the fun, and was about to turn his bike around, when the few aunts and wives next to him started talking.

It turned out that a new bun shop had opened nearby. The woman in the bun shop asked her man to repair it. It was not that the man had a bad temper, but that the woman was too aggressive and unreasonable, and she annoyed the man so much he gave her a slap. The woman immediately stopped. It was not uncommon for couples to quarrel in the countryside. Wang Cheng didn't take it to heart. However, the name that the gossiping woman blurted out surprised him.

The man in the story was Zhang Liangzhong who he hadn't heard of for a while, and the woman was Aunt Zhang. He didn't expect them to open a bun shop in the Guan’s Village’s marketplace.

It was unexpected. Wang Cheng left after buying meat and a few fish. When he returned home, he told Mama and Papa Wang about this. Mama Wang went to the market every day to buy vegetables. Sooner or later, she would find out, so Wang Cheng wanted her to be mentally prepared.

"It seems that Zhang Liangzhong is not as honest as on the surface." After so long, Ms. Wang no longer remembered hate, and only a bit of the emotion remained in her heart.

Papa Wang smoked and did not comment.

He could slap Aunt Zhang when he got angry. Obviously, Zhang Liangzhong had long been opinionated about Aunt Zhang’s behavior. That time when Aunt Zhang destroyed Wang Ziyu’s reputation was probably an opportunity for Zhang Liangzhong to explode. It was also blamed on Aunt Zhang’s self-acceptance. He was an honest person by nature, but was definitely an assertive person in his bones. The opening of several bun shops in their family was evidence. If Aunt Zhang was honest, her life would probably be more comfortable than most.

Thinking about this, Wang Cheng was even happier. Mama Wang didn’t hold grudges, but he did.
