Chapter 388 Misunderstanding of Quantifiers
Liu Wangxue ordered several boxes of each type of pomelo, ugly tangerine, sugar tangerine, banana, and apple with rock candy heart. While the boss was filling out the form, she reached out and plucked the box of cherries placed in the middle of the stall.
After just shopping around, Liu Wangxue noticed that there were only three stores selling cherries in the entire fruit section, and this one looked the freshest.
After the boss filled out the form, he looked up and saw Liu Wangxue's hand just leaving Che Lizi. She felt that Liu Wangxue looked like a rich man, and the order of so many fruits must have been for a technology company with 20 or 30 people.
I met the previous purchasing boss, they were two men, but they didn’t come to buy from her stall. They ordered the fruits diagonally across the street, but later I heard that they had changed to another shop.
Not only did the person change today, but it was also her turn to do the business. The boss was happy just thinking about it. She guessed that people were dissatisfied with the items from those two companies, otherwise they wouldn't be able to exchange them in turn.
Target customers! The boss thought, we must treat him well.
The next second Liu Wangxue asked the price.
The boss reported the number, took two large and plump ones, rinsed them under the faucet behind him, and handed them to Liu Wangxue: "These are imported, super large fruits, very sweet. You taste it first.”
The boss couldn't bear to eat such an expensive fruit. When she opened the box and put it out yesterday, she found one that was probably broken. She washed it, cut off the broken part, and tasted the remaining half. Taste, don’t tell me, it’s expensive.
Liu Wangxue thanked the boss, took one, tasted it, and put the other one back into the box.
A customer nearby who was picking out sugar oranges in a plastic bag smiled when he saw this and said to the boss: "I come to you every day to buy fruit, but I never saw you give me one to try."
Hearing this tone, he knew he was an acquaintance. The boss responded directly and waved the delivery order in front of the customer's eyes: "Okay, if you order so many at once, Don’t say one, just two or three!”
The customer handed the selected sugar oranges to the boss: “I don’t know if you are talking about me or yourself.”
The boss helped him weigh and quoted the price, then pinched two sugar oranges and put them in: "You are stingy and I am snobby, let's not criticize anyone else."
Liu Wangxue ate cherries and laughed while listening to their conversation.
The customer scanned the QR code and paid: "Let's go."
The boss responded and asked Liu Wangxue: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Liu Wangxue nodded, pointed to the open box in front of her and asked her, "Is this the only one?"
"There are two more boxes that have not been opened." The boss laughed when he heard this. Zhu Yankai spoke to her in a low voice, "I'm not going to hide it from you, these three boxes all arrived yesterday morning. But the transportation of imported fruits must have been delayed for many days on the road. The other two boxes have not been opened. I can’t guarantee that the inside is 100% intact. If you buy it often, you must know that bumps and bumps are inevitable..."
Moreover, the price is relatively expensive and it is not popular in this town, so they just took these three boxes to try. At first I thought that a box only weighed five pounds, and it wasn’t like there were not many well-off families in the town. Seeing that the products from the other two stores were not that fresh and there were still people buying them, theirs should be fine too. Unexpectedly, they spent the whole day yesterday, and almost no one bought them even though they asked about them. This morning, they picked out a few bad ones, which made her feel very distressed.
When I met Liu Wangxue today, the boss thought she was in charge of purchasing. Firstly, he wanted to sell all three boxes quickly and not buy them again. Secondly, he also thought that she might not be able to buy them for a long time in the future. I wanted to do this business with her, so I told her everything.
Liu Wangxue nodded to express understanding. She laughed at herself in her heart. If the boss didn't tell her, she really wouldn't have thought of it. What if she found out that the damage rate was relatively high after signing for it after sending it there, which would always be a little unpleasant.
I have seen people buying cherries online before, as if they were dismantling blind boxes. When I got home and saw that half of them were damaged, Liu Wangxue didn’t want to buy them. However, the box I opened at the stall looked in good condition, so I decided to just buy this box and keep it for myself. She said: "I understand that loss is normal..."
The boss interrupted her and continued in a low voice: "Don't worry, our family does business with integrity, and we definitely can't make money with shoddy goods without conscience. In this way, when his father goes to deliver the child at noon, you open it in front of him. Inspect the goods. If more than 10% of them are damaged, I will refund the money to you. How about that? ?”
Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment, pointed to the box in front of him, and said, “Okay, the two boxes will be sent together with the ones I just ordered. Let me weigh this box. I'll take it away."
"Hey, okay." The boss smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Liu Wangxue picked some other names, paid the money together, took the order and went out.
Gu Xuelan asked her not to buy so much, but there were several masters working at home, and buying too little would not be enough to eat. It would be quite a lot if the same things were added up.
Put some in the trunk of the battery car, put some in the front basket and on the foot pedals, and even hang them on the handlebars to finish them off.
When I got home, Gu Xuelan happened to come out of the kitchen and help her get it down: "I told you to buy less. It's not easy to carry. Anyway, it's close to the town. If you need anything, you go there immediately and buy more. So much."
Liu Wangxue also had her hands full and followed. She walked towards the kitchen: "It all looks quite fresh, so don't stop. It's close, but if it rains again in the next few days, it won't be convenient to go."
After putting away the things, Liu Wangxue washed some cherries and blueberries, and sat with Gu Xuelan in the living room to eat them.
Gu Xuelan took a few pills and continued to embroider her cross stitch.
This cross-stitch was almost finished. She estimated that at her usual pace, it would take more than a week. Once the embroidery is finished, it will be framed so that it can be hung in the living room of the new house. When doing decoration design in the living room, Liu Wangxue specially asked the designer to reserve a place, and the design style was also based on "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
The three self-taught Liu Wangxue followed her closely as soon as she came back, and even made noises to eat fruit when they saw her eating it.
She fed Pengpeng a few blueberries, cut the cherries in half with a fruit knife, removed the core, and gave one and a half to Xiao Ci and Nui.
After feeding three of them, I took my mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Qingsong.
I took a photo of the delivery order that the fruit stall owner just issued and sent it to him: [I bought some fruit and will deliver it around noon, please sign for it]
When I was taking pictures, I discovered that the boss had also written down the inspection of cherries in the notes.
When Gu Xuelan looked up, she saw Liu Wangxue smiling at the piece of paper, so she asked. Liu Wangxue told her about buying fruits.
After finishing speaking, I received a reply from Xu Qingsong: [My dear fairy, do you have any misunderstanding about the quantifier "a little bit"? 】
Writing this, I really want to eat cherries and blueberries. I was planning to stop here. I turned off the computer and went to the supermarket. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a heavy rain came... God! ! !
