I am farming in the real world

Chapter 11: Being Awesome is All That Matters!

This trip to the agricultural wholesale market to promote the product went smoother than Chen Jue had expected.

However, after touring the market, Chen Jue felt it was perfectly reasonable.

Because he discovered that all the waxberries displayed on the shelves in the wholesale market, even the highest-grade 9A Dong Kui, couldn't compare to his MC waxberries in terms of appearance.

After all, the appearance of fruit is the biggest selling point besides taste!

Take watermelons, the most seasonal fruit in summer, for example. Ordinary watermelons in China sell for 1 or 2 yuan per pound, and a large watermelon weighs up to 20 or 30 yuan at most.

But the so-called watermelon masters in neighboring Japan use molds to grow watermelons into square or heart shapes, and import them to high-end fruit stores in China, where they sell for several thousand yuan apiece.

The wealthy people who are willing to pay for these oddly shaped watermelons don't care how good they taste; they are purely after their novel appearance, buying them to take photos and post videos to gain emotional value.

Chen Jue's MC waxberries may not be as eye-catching as the oddly shaped watermelons, but they are large enough, and the taste is a rare delicacy on the market.

Chen Jue even felt that selling them for 8.7 yuan apiece was a bit of a loss.

Fortunately, the cost of this thing is low enough; a few dozen yuan can ripen more than 20,000 of them.

Compared to Chen Jue, who is currently penniless, selling the first batch would be a great success.

…

After leaving the agricultural wholesale market, Chen Jue found a Shaxian snack shop by the roadside and ate a duck leg rice to replenish his stomach.

"I remember when I was in college, a duck leg rice at Shaxian only cost 10 yuan, but now it has risen to 18!" Chen Jue sighed as he ate.

Eating bland noodles at home every day, experiencing a year and a half of depression without tasting meat.

After a long time, Chen Jue actually tasted a different flavor from this kind of working-class meal that he didn't used to like.

After filling his stomach, he called his buddy Zheng Bocheng, chatted for a few words, and then directly asked him to borrow a small pickup truck used by the factory.

Because Chen Jue's electronic payment is currently frozen, he can't use online car-hailing apps like Huolala and Didi.

The last bit of cash in his hand was also used to make packaging boxes, and in the end, he had no choice but to ask his friend for help.

After all, the MC system's "Sleeve Universe" cannot be displayed to the public in broad daylight, and a means of transportation is needed as a cover to reasonably transport those packaging boxes to the wholesale market.

"Borrow a car?"

"No problem! Where are you? I'll drive it over to you," Zheng Bocheng agreed without thinking much.

His family, like Chen Jue's, is also engaged in auto and motorcycle parts processing.

However, the factory is larger in scale, with hundreds of workers, and there are several pickup trucks and vans in the factory specifically for delivering goods and pulling molds.

Zheng Bocheng spends his days in the factory as a young master. His parents personally manage the business, and he drives out to wander around and pass the time when he has nothing to do.

Occasionally, he would call Chen Jue and a group of buddies to go to the internet cafe to play games. He only needs to go home to accompany his wife and children at night, without any "enterprising spirit" of a second-generation rich.

Hearing that Chen Jue had entered the city to borrow a car, he drove a Changan truck to the outside of the internet cafe where they often hung out without saying a word.

"Chen Jue, you finally stopped being depressed? You know how to come out and have fun?"

"Do you want to go in and play a couple of rounds of LOL? I still have some time to slack off this afternoon," Zheng Bocheng said with a hippie smile as he threw the key to Chen Jue.

Chen Jue took the key and smiled slightly, stuffing the last waxberry gift box in his hand over: "Go play yourself, I have something to deal with. Take this waxberry to your child to try, it's very delicious!"

"It's just waxberry! How delicious can it be," Zheng Bocheng said with a look of indifference.

Seeing Chen Jue getting into the car and starting it with a serious look, he shouted to Chen Jue as he walked into the internet cafe: "Be careful when driving! I just had 11 points deducted!"

"Got it! If it's not enough, I still have 12 points, I'll give them all to you later ~" Chen Jue waved his hand.

There is no need to say much between buddies. Zheng Bocheng didn't ask Chen Jue what he was going to do with the car.

After all, there is more than ten years of trust between them, and they won't get twisted over this little thing.

…

After borrowing the truck, Chen Jue first took it to a car wash and spent 25 yuan to wash it.

The factory trucks of this kind of auto and motorcycle parts factory are full of rust and dust, and it is really dirty to use them to pull waxberry gift boxes.

After washing it until it was shiny, Chen Jue drove the car to that advertising shop.

The shop owner and his wife were busy folding the last bit of packaging at this time. Seeing Chen Jue coming, they greeted him to move them to the truck together.

In a short while, the back of the truck was piled up full.

100 gift boxes seem like a lot, but they really take up space when spread out.

Chen Jue was also afraid that they would be blown away by the wind, so he shamelessly asked the advertising shop owner for a plastic film in the shop to cover them.

After all the gift boxes were loaded into the car, he drove the small truck slowly to a mountain called Jiyun Mountain in the suburbs of Ruixian County.

This place is a good place for people in Ruixian County to take self-driving tours on weekends. There are temples, reservoirs, and many farmhouses on the mountain, and the mountain road is winding and twisting.

After driving to a viewing platform on the top of the mountain, you can also overlook the entire Ruixian County.

But the most important thing is that there are no surveillance cameras in this place, and there are not even a few telephone poles.

After turning around and confirming that there was no one nearby, Chen Jue parked the car, lifted the plastic film, and reached for the 100 gift boxes on the back seat of the car.

"Collect!"

He switched to the MC interface.

Relying on the built-in Sleeve Universe function, he collected all the gift boxes piled up in the blink of an eye into the row of tool squares below.

[Artificial Gift Box: Paper item, can be used to hold 10 spherical objects with a diameter of no more than 50 mm, durability? ? /? ?]

Glancing at the text description on the gift box, as well as the number of gift boxes occupying two grids, × 64 and × 36.

Chen Jue took a deep breath and tried to right-click.

The next second, an enlarged internal interface of the gift box popped up.

"YES!"

"Sure enough!"

"Like the plastic bucket at home, it is recognized by the system as a tool similar to [Sack] that can hold items." Chen Jue rubbed his hands excitedly.

Trying to use the traditional shortcut operation in the MC game, he dragged all the waxberries in the backpack grid to these gift boxes in one click using Alt + left click.

In an instant, the space for a thousand items that these 100 paper gift boxes could hold was filled with those waxberries!

This scene made Chen Jue tremble with joy.

If he had to manually put these waxberries into the gift boxes one by one, it would definitely take a whole day, and the waxberries would be accidentally damaged in the process.

Now it's good, with the help of the MC system, all are fool-style shortcut filling, which can save Chen Jue countless labor costs and mechanical labor time.

"With these shortcut operations, one person can top countless packaging assembly lines!" Chen Jue grinned and exported the filled gift box from the system backpack again.

After spreading it all over the back of the truck again, he drove all the way to the agricultural wholesale market.

It was the middle of the afternoon, and the weather was so hot that people felt uncomfortable. The loaders in the market were all looking for shade to doze off, and there were even fewer people coming to purchase goods.

In summer, this kind of market basically only has some popularity in the evening and at night.

Chen Jue's small truck drove in unimpeded and quickly stopped at the entrance of Sweetheart Fruit Shop.

"Brother Luo, I'm here to deliver the goods!" Chen Jue shouted into the store.

The fat Luo Xian, who was napping in the tea room inside, immediately sat up instinctively when he heard this.

Coming out and looking at the back of the truck, and randomly taking a box to open it.

The neatly arranged '13A Dong Kui Waxberries' inside made Luo Xian's originally sleepy eyes light up: "Brother, you are doing honest business! If you say there are no bad fruits, then there are no bad fruits."

"That's for sure, this is our first cooperation, how could I pick bad ones for you, Brother Luo," Chen Jue said with a smile and a few polite words.

Luo Xian disassembled a few more blind boxes and saw that the waxberry products inside were all carved out of the same mold, and couldn't help but give Chen Jue a thumbs up.

Anyway, the meaning is very clear, being awesome is all that matters!

Then Luo Xian called a few employees in the store to unload the goods together, and repeatedly told them to be careful and not to bump them.

The top waxberries are packed here, and a box sells for more than two hundred.

When the employees heard the price, they really started to handle them gently.

"More than two hundred a box? This fat man is not afraid of eating too much!"

Chen Jue saw through it without saying it. He could probably guess that this fat man had already secured a big business during this noon.

After all, he left a box of samples at the Sweetheart Fruit Shop before he left. As long as the other party takes some videos and photos and sends them on WeChat, it is easy to negotiate a business with channels in hand.

However, how much people earn is their ability and has nothing to do with Chen Jue.

When 100 gift boxes were unloaded, Luo Xian took a bundle of red banknotes that had been discussed in advance from the safe in the tea room and handed them to Chen Jue.

"9700 yuan in cash received."

"This time, I am finally going to start turning over a new leaf!"
