Chapter 8 Sneaking Away to Sell Vegetables

Because most of the villagers themselves have limited knowledge and knowledge, they do not understand the greenhouse that is beyond their imagination, so that Wang Wei's greenhouse is not as popular as expected.

Except that at the beginning people flocked in to see what was fresh, and soon everyone lost interest in greenhouses that could grow vegetables in the cold winter climate. Of course, the high investment in greenhouses is also one of the aspects, but not just anyone has the courage to invest thousands of dollars in such a new thing.

Therefore, for more than two months, except for a limited number of people close to the Wang family, no one knew what was going on in the Wang family's greenhouse, let alone that the greenhouse would produce the first batch of vegetables today.

The area of the greenhouse is too small, in order to improve the land utilization, Wang Wei gave his parents another idea of crop rotation. A vegetable furrow was specially opened up for seedling raising.

In this way, when those ripe vegetables are harvested, the next batch can be planted as quickly as possible, saving a lot of time. In this way, we can harvest a few more vegetables in winter when everyone is short of vegetables to eat.

"Dad, it's almost! So much, do you bring it moving? ”

Wang Yong looked at the pile of kohlrabi and tender celery, and said with a frown. In fact, he was worried that if he couldn't sell it, although it was not easy to spoil in this winter, it was not as fresh as the freshly picked ones, right?

These days, there are not many rich people in the countryside. According to the "super high price" agreed upon by Wang Yongli as a family, it is estimated that there are not many people who can afford it. Only after a few days, when everyone prepares the ingredients for relatives in the New Year, is the best time to sell vegetables in large quantities.

In fact, even if you can afford it, it is estimated that it is just a pound and a half pound to try it. I will never buy it in large quantities, after all, the price is not cheap at all compared to the price of meat.

"Hehe, what's not to be able to bring here, this little thing, it's just a hundred and ten pounds, it's a little meaning!"

Wang Hai, who is not tall but absolutely strong, raised his head and glanced at Wang Wei, and was very dissatisfied with the contempt of his eldest son. What is this thing? Even if it is doubled, there is no problem at all.

It was the mother Tian Xiuhua who understood her son's thoughts and stood up to relieve the father and son.

"Forget it, let's get these today, after all, it's the first time, go on the road first, if the market is good, next time we will all harvest and plant a batch."

Wang Hai realized that his son was worried that he would not be able to sell it, and it would be wasted when the time came. Thinking of this, he didn't have the bottom in his heart, after all, his son said that this thing is now the only one in his own family in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and the price must not be sold low.

As my son said, it's easier to lower prices than to raise them. If the price is set too low at the beginning, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price in the future. But the high price of a piece of five pounds, does anyone really buy it?

He thought in his heart that he would definitely not buy it anyway, he would buy a pound of vegetables for a piece of five, and a piece of five would be enough for his family of four to eat for a few days.

With apprehension, in the ardent anticipation of the mother and son, Wang Hai stepped on the big two eight, and on one side of the back seat hung two large wicker baskets tightly wrapped in cotton quilts and set off towards the countryside five or six miles away.

The basket was filled with kohlrabi, celery and leeks, and a basket could weigh about sixty or seventy pounds, but for the heavier two-eighth, this was not a problem at all. "Mom, are we really going to eat meat at noon today?" Wang Liang looked at his father, who was riding farther and farther away, with a finger in his mouth, drooling and muttering again.

Since yesterday I heard my dad say that he sold vegetables to buy meat for him today, this gluttonous kid doesn't know how many times he has talked about this topic.

"You know how to eat! Hurry up and get to work! Some of those who work eat, and those who don't work buy and don't eat! ”

Wang Yong yelled at his younger brother very irritably, turned around and went back to the courtyard, preparing to replant the next batch of vegetables with his mother in the place where he had just harvested vegetables.

Wang Liang, who was originally very playful, looked at the direction of his father's departure, thinking about the fragrant big piece of meat, and resolutely turned around and followed his brother back to the yard to help.

The family of three is pretending to have something in their hearts, and they seem a little listless when they start working. Wang Yong and his mother were worried that the food would not sell, but Wang Liang thought that he would be able to eat fragrant meat at noon.

But originally this greenhouse was not much, leeks don't care, just a few wisps of kohlrabi and celery, vegetable seedlings are ready-made, the three of them have not yet reached noon to replant the vacant land.

Wang Yong and his mother went out of the shed, washed their hands and returned to the house. Wang Liang was drooling in the greenhouse, looking at the few fist-sized tomato seedlings in a daze.

These tomatoes, which are not very big, are Wang Liang's treasures, and they have to be seen at least a few times a day to rest assured. Not to mention that after individual tomatoes have begun to hang red, they are even more diligent, and they can't wait to live here and keep an eye on what they have turned red and can be eaten.

Wang Yong went straight back to the house and turned on the 14-inch Panda brand black and white TV at home. This was specially moved by the second uncle who worked in the supply and marketing cooperatives in Linzhen at the beginning of last year, and the money to buy a TV was all paid by the second uncle.

In today's era when there is no wire, no cauldron and no cauldron, Wang Wei's family does not even have an outdoor antenna, and can only rely on the TV's own indoor antenna to receive programs.

One is CCTV, the other is provincial TV, and even the TV station in the city can't receive it. As for the county TV station, I don't know which county leader's mind this idea exists!

Besides, Wang Hai braved the cold wind early in the morning to sneak on a bicycle, holding two baskets of vegetables and running to the township with anxiety in his heart.

Today is a big market in the countryside, and it stands to reason that these fresh vegetables produced by themselves can only be sold at a good price when they arrive in the city. After all, compared with rural areas, people in the city have more money and are willing to spend more.

But apart from the family's ox cart, the only means of transportation is the bicycle that I bought when I got married. If you want to take two large baskets of vegetables to the city, not to mention the city that is 100 kilometers away, even the county seat is 50 or 60 kilometers away from the village.

I went by bicycle and left early in the morning, and when I arrived in the county, I was afraid that it would be evening. Originally, according to Wang Hai's idea, he wanted to go to the county to try, but Wang Yong, who didn't want his father to be affected, finally persuaded his father to try it at the township market first.

Along the way, Wang Hai always couldn't help but look left and right secretly. As an authentic farmer, it was the first time for him to go to the market to sell his things, and he always felt strange in his heart, for fear of meeting someone he knew to say hello.

Fortunately, since he was going to rush to the market to sell vegetables, he had to go early to occupy the place, so there was no one on the road at this time, which made him feel a little better.

Even if he was carrying more than 100 catties of vegetables, Wang Hai, who was in a hurry, didn't take a quarter of an hour to rush to the township.

At this time, the sun had just emerged, it was cold and gloomy, and the breath exhaled by people turned into white mist when it came outside, and then it was quickly blown away by a gust of cold wind. Soon a layer of hoarfrost formed on the eyebrows and hair, and then it turned into ice again.

Although Wang Hai got up early in the morning, there were already many stalls in the market. These are the stall owners who rush to the market all year round to sell their goods, and they give a sum of money to the township every year to have a fixed stall.

They are under more pressure than temporary vendors who sell their own specialties once. In order to make more money, I come early every time, and I don't leave until there is no one at the end, just to be able to greet one more guest and make more money.

Wang Hai carried two large baskets and rode his bicycle along the bumpy dirt road to continue inside. The entrance to the bazaar is a fork in the road, with the cattle market on one side and the entrance to the main bazaar on the other.

After walking along the dirt road for two or three hundred meters, Wang Hai entered a courtyard, which used to be the management office of the market, and then the commune station, and then after the commune moved away and became the market management office, the vegetable market and the meat market were also arranged in the courtyard and some places around it.

However, in the winter season, when there are no fresh vegetables, there are not a few vegetables sold in the whole yard. The few stalls are also selling stored vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and onions.

Wang Hai found a place casually, got out of the car, and picked up the ladder. I took a piece of plastic sheeting from the back seat and left it on the ground, put the scale on the ground, and prepared to unload the two large baskets of vegetables on the car.

"Big brother, it's your first time, right? Haven't I seen you before? ”

On the stall selling spices next to it, a middle-aged man in his thirties greeted him warmly and stepped forward to help. Fortunately, he was half busy, otherwise Wang Hai would still be worried.

There is a big basket on both sides of this car, and he can only move one one at a time, and the remaining one and the car will definitely not stand firmly and well.

"Ahh Yes, for the first time. ”

Wang Hai unloaded a large basket and smiled honestly at the enthusiastic neighbor. Just as Wang Hai had unloaded the other basket and put it away, the enthusiastic vendor spoke again.

"Big brother, what are you selling in this basket?"

"Nothing, home-grown vegetables. By the way, you wait, I'll bring you some leeks and go home to make dumplings for the children. ”

As he spoke, Wang Hai lifted a basket that was tightly covered with a quilt, and under the stunned eyes of the vendor, he took out a bundle of leeks and handed it out.

"This, this, this is a leek!"

What Wang Hai didn't expect was that the vendor who bought the spices stumbled when he spoke, pointed to the basket of vegetables on the ground and stared wide, without blinking, ignoring him.

Wang Hai scratched his head honestly and said embarrassedly: "It's all home-made, and I just harvested it early today, and it's fresh!" Here you go, take it back and eat dumplings! ”

Wang Hai shoved a bundle of leeks into his neighbor's arms, and then left him alone, and took care of his stall and prepared to open for business.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that they came out here, which attracted the attention of several stalls around them, and when they saw the fresh vegetables in Wang Hai's basket, they all widened their eyes and looked stupid.

"Big brother, this, it's not easy to see the fresh vegetables in this winter, you better take it back, this thing is precious!"

As he spoke, the vendor was about to stuff the vegetables in his hand to Wang Hai.

"What's expensive or not, it's all home-made, it's worthless!"

Wang Hai's words caused the surrounding vendors to roll their eyes, big brother, when is this? At this time, such a fresh dish is not cheaper than meat, and it is not worth much, so what is worth?

For a while, there were a few vendors who looked at the sleepy leeks in the hands of the vendors who bought the spices, and their eyes were hot, and they regretted it and wanted to slap themselves.

Why don't you see it like this, if you are diligent and help others, won't the bundle of fresh and tender leeks that can pinch out the water be yours?
