Chapter 8

Early in the morning, Qin Lin got up and looked at the game screen in his mind.

The watermelons in the 24-grid plot and the red strawberries in the 6-grid plot had all ripened.

He controlled the game character to harvest the watermelons and red strawberries, putting them all into the storage room. Then he removed the withered watermelon vines and strawberry vines, and replanted watermelon seeds and strawberry seeds.

Today, he also needed to promote the red strawberries.

The red strawberries produced by the game had special attributes, so he wasn't worried about selling them. Moreover, for convenience, he planned to sell them to RT-Mart again. However, he needed to consider the wholesale price.

Although the wholesale price of ordinary red strawberries in Youcheng County was around 15 yuan, the strawberries produced by the game should not be priced at just that.

So, he first went online to check the overall wholesale prices of red strawberries.

There were many varieties of red strawberries, and the wholesale prices varied due to regional differences. He skipped the ordinary red strawberries and focused on those sold in large quantities and priced higher than ordinary strawberries.

Among them, the cream red strawberries had a wholesale price of 30 yuan per pound, the Daliang Mountain red strawberries were 36 yuan per pound, and the Miaoxiang red strawberries were 29 yuan per pound...

These were all high-quality varieties of strawberries that were a step above ordinary red strawberries.

He had tasted most of these strawberries, and the quality 1 strawberries produced by the game definitely tasted better. Setting a wholesale price of 30 yuan per pound was no problem.

Thinking about how RT-Mart had sold his watermelons as special quality watermelons, these would be special quality red strawberries.

At the warehouse, Qin Lin entered the game again and went to the storage room.

This batch of watermelons totaled 423, with 5 quality 2 watermelons on the side.

As for the strawberries, he had harvested 300 pounds, with 2 pounds of quality 2 strawberries on the side.

Qin Lin picked up a few and saw the note information.

【Red Strawberry: Quality 2】

【Note: High-quality red strawberries produced by the game. In terms of taste, flavor, and fragrance, they far surpass quality 1 red strawberries. They are definitely a delicacy that tempts the taste buds.

Delicious +2, Sweet +2, Texture +2, Aftertaste +2】

Seeing the note attributes, Qin Lin immediately put one in his mouth.

Upon tasting it, he couldn't help but close his eyes to savor it.

The sweetness and fragrance were overwhelming, and he couldn't resist putting another one in his mouth.

Like the quality 2 watermelons, these attribute bonuses turned the quality 2 strawberries into a rare delicacy.

In college, his wealthy roommate had once bought imported cream red strawberries for 200 yuan per pound, but the taste of those strawberries was nothing compared to these.

Qin Lin started moving this batch of watermelons and delivered the watermelons that Liu Dasheng and other bosses had ordered for the day, totaling 4098 pounds, earning him 6147 yuan.

After that, he took 2 pounds of quality 1 red strawberries and went to RT-Mart again to discuss the red strawberries with Manager Chen.

At 30 yuan per pound, just harvesting 300 pounds in the morning would earn him 9000 yuan, more than the 24-grid plot of watermelons.

"Mr. Qin, you're here. I was just about to look for you!" Manager Chen greeted Qin Lin very politely.

In the past ten days, he had already made over 10,000 yuan from Qin Lin, and "Little Qin" had become "Mr. Qin." Moreover, he had something to discuss with Qin Lin, so he was even more courteous.

Manager Chen even took the initiative to pull Qin Lin to a nearby tea table, brewed some tea, and poured a cup for Qin Lin.

In the south, many people who felt they had status would conduct business at the tea table, and even many small shops on the street would have a tea table to make things seem more formal.

Qin Lin smiled and asked, "Manager Chen, what's the matter?"

Manager Chen smiled and got straight to the point: "Mr. Qin, we've been cooperating for over ten days. To be honest, your melons are really good and sell well."

"Originally, the melons you provided were enough for me, but we also have RT-Mart supermarkets in Shacheng, and they want to buy your melons. We'll take as many as you can provide."

Qin Lin understood immediately.

This was probably a slight change in supply and demand.

The melons produced by the game were not only good but could also be sold at a higher price than ordinary melons.

His melons allowed Manager Chen to make a profit, and they also increased the profit margin for RT-Mart, making Manager Chen a hero. It was likely that Manager Chen was the one pushing for this in Shacheng.

However, the game plots were limited, and he could only provide so many melons each day.

"Manager Chen, I'm really sorry, but I can only provide so many watermelons each day. I can't do more. However, I do have another type of strawberry that I can wholesale, at least 500 pounds a day. Manager Chen, you can try them first." Qin Lin apologized and then took the opportunity to promote his strawberries, placing the strawberries he had brought on the table in front of Manager Chen.

Manager Chen subconsciously looked at the strawberries and habitually picked one to taste. As soon as he bit into it, his eyes widened in surprise.

As the purchasing manager of RT-Mart's Youcheng branch, he had tasted many red strawberries, whether they were distributed by the company or purchased by him. None of them could compare to these.

Even the 55-yuan-per-pound high-altitude special strawberries from before couldn't match the taste of these.

After finishing one, Manager Chen immediately picked up a second, then a third...

After eating over ten, he was certain that these were definitely not ordinary strawberries. Like the watermelons, they wouldn't be hard to sell. He immediately asked the most important question: "Mr. Qin, what's the wholesale price for these red strawberries?"

Qin Lin explained, "Manager Chen, these are special quality strawberries. The wholesale price is 30 yuan per pound."

"Only 30..." Manager Chen immediately said, "Mr. Qin, I'll take all you have, but you need to add 2 yuan to the invoice price."

He had already planned to report a wholesale price of 32 yuan and sell them for 40 yuan or even higher, creating more profit for the supermarket and earning himself some credit.

"Manager Chen, I understand. If anyone asks, the wholesale price is 32 yuan." Qin Lin also smiled and agreed, as he had already reached his desired price.

Manager Chen's smile grew wider, and he poured another cup of tea for Qin Lin, raising his cup in a toast: "Mr. Qin, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Cheers!" Qin Lin also raised his cup and clinked it with the other's. After finishing the tea, he got up and said, "Manager Chen, I'll go deliver a batch of strawberries first. I'll bring another batch of strawberries when I deliver the watermelons in the evening."

Manager Chen nodded and said, "Sure, Mr. Qin, just bring the order to me whenever you're ready."

Qin Lin, having secured the sale of the strawberries, left the RT-Mart office area in high spirits and then bought a few special baskets for the strawberries.

Strawberries were different from watermelons and needed to be handled more carefully.

After that, he went to the warehouse and took out all 300 pounds of strawberries.

If the batch of strawberries that matured in the evening also weighed over 300 pounds, the strawberries from the 6-grid 2-level plot could sell for 18,000 yuan.

With the daily income from watermelons added, he was not far from earning a million yuan a month.
