16. Chapter XVI

When the store was about to close, Zeng Tong reminded Xiaojuan that if acquaintances let him keep food in the future, remember to put it in a small room inside, so as not to let other guests see it to avoid causing trouble. Xiaojuan nodded in response, and then Zeng Tong let her get off work.

When Xiaojuan walked away, Zeng Tong pulled down the door inside, put the vegetable box on the ground into the space, and after checking the water and electricity, he also locked the door and left.

At this time, it was only nearly 7 o'clock, which was about the same as the business hours I expected.

When he got home, just in time for Zeng's mother to come out of the kitchen with food, Zeng Tong hurriedly went to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.

After dinner, it is still the time for Zeng Tong to enter the space to work, according to today's situation, there will definitely be a lot of repeat customers tomorrow, and more dishes must be prepared. There are still some vegetables in the space, and Zeng Tong plans to harvest everything that can be harvested in the field first.

Tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, bitter gourds and peas can still be picked, and there are still plenty of leafy vegetables in the field.

The lettuce and lettuce planted before are almost ready to be harvested, and these two kinds Zeng Tong plans to harvest them after getting up tomorrow morning, and after one night, they can grow a lot. The condiments were also collected a little, and although they sold less every day, they still had a certain amount of sales.

After harvesting the vegetables in the field, Zeng Tong collected some vegetable stalks in the field and the vegetable leaves left after sorting, chopped them and fed them to the fish.

On the melon side, watermelons and cantaloupes have already bloomed, and occasionally you can see some small melons under the leaves.

"The bees are not as lazy as they say on the Internet......" Zeng Tong muttered to himself.

In fact, in such a place of more than one acre, there are not many things planted, a few bees, flying around for a while, how can they turn over these flowers in 10 days.

After feeding the fish, Zeng Tong came to the edge of the ridge, looked at the vegetable field, and calculated the growth period of vegetables in his heart.

"Looks like we have to open another place, and we need more vegetables in the store." ”

Thinking about this, Zeng Tong took a hoe and other tools, came to the new land that had been opened before, and waved the hoe to expand the scope of the vegetable field. The last test plot has proved that the newly opened land has the same effect on the growth and improvement of plants, and Zeng Tong plans to expand it more this time.

After more than 2 hours in the space, Zeng Tong finally stopped and looked at the new land that was roughly turned over in front of him, with an overall area of nearly 1,000 square meters. If these are all grown with vegetables, the yield should be enough to sell in your own store.

But when Zeng Tong was working in the field, he found that the area of the vegetable field had become larger, but the workload had also increased. The good body that I have improved in the space is almost unbearable this time. Especially in the field of leafy vegetables, all the planting and harvesting have to squat or bend over to operate, and the hard work is doubled.

Generally, in such a large place outside, you have to find at least 2 or more people to do it, but now Zeng Tong has only one person, and it is almost impossible to finish it all at once.

Before finishing the vegetable patch finishing work again, Zeng Tong was so tired that he sat on the ridge.

"It's still a variety of melons and fruits, and leafy vegetables can only be the current yield. Zeng Tong thought as he gasped.

Vegetables such as melons and fruits are planted in the space, except for the scaffolding, they hardly need to be taken care of during the growth process, and the picking period is slightly longer than that of leafy vegetables.

Zeng Tong returned to the hut and rummaged through the seeds of melons and fruits.

The local common white melon, ridge gourd, loofah and gourd, etc., Zeng Tong have found seeds, although there are still pumpkin and winter melon seeds, but Zeng Tong does not plan to plant for the time being, this kind of melon is too big and heavy, and it will be more troublesome to harvest, carry and sell at that time.

Now the zucchini that is also more commonly seen on the market, also known as American pumpkin, belongs to the whole year as long as the temperature is right, it can be seen throughout the year, but the price is different in different periods, this Zeng Tong also found seeds and planned to plant them together.

With these selected seeds, Zeng Tong came to the newly opened field, and when he sorted them out just now, different areas had been demarcated, and these areas were also used to distinguish varieties.

Zeng Tong still sowed a seed about 20 centimeters apart, and it was only more than half an hour after the entire new vegetable field was planted. Holding the kettle and pouring it carefully, Zeng Tong continued to the leafy vegetable area.

After harvesting, only the stalks and leaves left behind were sorted. Now Zeng Tong has combed all the land, and then re-divided different blocks according to his thoughts, planting different types of leafy vegetables.

In addition to the ones planted last time, this time we have also added cabbage, which is also a relatively large variety, and although the growth cycle is longer than that of ordinary leafy vegetables, it is relatively easier to manage than leafy vegetables.

Cabbage is grown along with cabbage, and although the cabbage that was harvested before is still in stock, it is sold quickly in the store, so if you don't want to cut off the cabbage after a while, you have to start replanting now.

Later, the watermelon and cantaloupe came down, and Zeng Tong also planned to sell them in the store. Since it was called a fruit and vegetable store, fruits and vegetables were sold together.

After harvesting the vegetables this time, Zeng Tong sorted them out and put them in the vegetable box, the total amount is about half more than the one sold in the store in the morning, and tomorrow morning he will harvest another part of lettuce and lettuce, which can add up to twice the amount of the first day.

"Business should be better tomorrow, that's pretty much it. Zeng Tong moved the sorted dishes back to the thatched hut one by one, and then went out of the space.

At half past six the next morning, Zeng Tong woke up, and after washing, he saw that his parents had not yet gotten up, so he entered the space first to harvest today's lettuce and lettuce.

Lettuce and lettuce look bigger than yesterday, these two kinds of vegetables are also harvested whole, and they need to be replanted once after harvesting, otherwise they will all be harvested, and they will only be sold for a few days before they are out of stock.

Today, Zeng Tong plans to collect half of the amount, and only a small part of the amount is taken to the store, which is enough to sell in the store, and the rest can be kept fresh for a longer time in the space.

After harvesting, it was almost 7 o'clock, and it was just time to start preparing to go to the farmer's market.

At around half past seven, Zeng Tong entered the store, closed the door, and took out the prepared vegetables. Since the amount was more than the previous day, this time the shelves were full, and some heavier ones, such as cabbage, were placed directly on the ground by Zeng Tong.

When Xiaojuan came to the store, she saw these vegetables and became happy after taking a beat.

"Sister Tong, there are so many dishes today, don't worry about not enough to sell. In Xiaojuan's heart, no matter how much business is good, no matter how much stock there is, she is not afraid.

"Business was good yesterday, and there should be more repeat customers today, if there are too many people at a moment, you don't have to rush, just be careful not to take orders." ”

"Understood, don't worry, Sister Tong, I set up my own stall at night, and sometimes many people come to see things together. Xiaojuan patted her chest and replied.

"Well, that's fine. Call me if there's anything and I'll be back in the afternoon. ”

After speaking, Zeng Tong and Xiaojuan began to prepare for the opening of the store, and as soon as the display table was set up, someone came to buy something.

"Hey, there are a few more dishes than yesterday, this lettuce looks good, my son likes to eat this. The lettuce is also quite tender, so this one should be ...... too."

"Okay, just pick it for me, I'll call you ......"

Zeng Tong, who was on the side, looked at Xiao Juan, who was greeting guests, waved at her and left.

When he was about to get home, Zeng Tong quietly took out the lettuce and lettuce that he had prepared when he was harvested in the morning and brought to his family. Although there are many kinds of vegetables sold in the store now, my mother only went to buy a lot of them yesterday, and if I take some of everything home today, there will be too many vegetables at home. The longer the vegetables are outside, the easier they are to spoil, so today Zeng Tong only plans to bring new varieties to his home.

"Girl, my mother only brought a lot of vegetables back yesterday, so I don't need to buy them today. Zeng's mother was surprised when she saw her daughter enter the house with 2 bags of vegetables in her hands.

"I thought the same thing, but when I saw them with new lettuce and lettuce, my dad didn't like the crisp texture of these vegetables, so I bought them back. ”

"There's a new one? "Zeng's mother took a look, and it was also a pleasure. "I was still thinking about it yesterday, and now there are a lot of people selling this dish outside, why is there no good food? ”

"We have this kind of high-quality vegetables in his neighborhood nearby, and it is said that it is a new variety in the farmyard, and it is normal for the variety to be a little less for the time being. It is estimated that there will be more and more in the future. Zeng Tong said, and also prepared for the store to continue to be new in the future.

"Yes, we can only buy it if people have it. Zeng's mother didn't continue to think about this problem, and talked and laughed with Zeng Tong while sorting out the refrigerator.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zeng Tong suddenly received a call from Xiaojuan, it was still early at 6 o'clock in the evening, why did he call at this time? Zeng Tong picked up the phone with this question: "Xiaojuan, is there something wrong?"

"Sister Tong, the dishes in the store are about to sell out, come and take a look, there are too many people today. Xiaojuan's voice came, and the phone was a little noisy.

"So fast?! The amount I prepared today is twice as much as yesterday. Zeng Tong was surprised.

"Yes, but there are too many customers today, and there are so many of them. Almost all of the customers who have bought it before have come to repurchase. ”

"Okay, you sell it first, I'll go over now. After speaking, Zeng Tong hung up the phone and hurriedly walked out.

When Zeng Tong arrived at the farmers' market, it was almost 5 o'clock, and when he walked to the door of the store, he met Xiao Pan on the way. Xiao Pan joked that he had never seen such a hot scene in a store, and at first he thought that someone had formed a team to find fault.

When I arrived at the store, I found that there were only a few customers, and they were all asking when it would open tomorrow. It turned out that when Zeng Tong came just now, another group of customers came to buy, and now all of them have been sold out, and there is not a single vegetable leaf in the store. Although Zeng Tong still has space, but now there are so many people, it is not easy to take it out of thin air, and today the intelligence is like this.

"Sister Tong, the sales of our dish are so good, we can stock up on more tomorrow." Xiao Juan looked excited and talked to Zeng Tong.

"I also want to buy more, but this is not much of a new variety of experiments, and the current amount is basically the limit that can be provided at present. I'll ask over there again to see if I can supply a little more, but if not, I'll sell it like this. Zeng Tong said the prepared words, and his tone was helpless.

This is also a fact, now the space depends on Zeng Tong alone, and the output cannot go up. Later, we'll see if there's any way to improve a bit.

After tidying up the store with Xiaojuan, Zeng Tong went to the small room to settle today's turnover. Although I also expected that there would be more than yesterday, but in the end, it was more than half of yesterday, and the turnover of the next day was a total of more than 1,200 yuan, and the net profit was at least 1,000 yuan.

Depending on the situation, I will be able to sell out tomorrow if I prepare a little more quantity!
