Chapter 24: Finding Land

Liu Yuebing's words made Li Yuan's eyes light up, and he touched his head and smiled: "Of course it's good!" Actually, I have this idea too, but I'm not too embarrassed to open this mouth to you. ”

"Haha, I know that you are a young man with an active brain, and you should be able to think of this way!" Liu Yuebing praised Li Yuan, and then said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed at all, the quality of these tomatoes is so good, it won't be long before someone comes to the door to ask you for supplies, I'm just one step ahead of others." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yuebing frowned, and said to Li Yuan very sincerely: "But no matter how good the quality of tomatoes is, the variety is still too single. If you want to gain a foothold in the restaurant circle, you must have a wide variety of vegetables. ”

Li Yuan was already planning to devote himself to agriculture, and he nodded thoughtfully: "You are right, there should be other varieties of vegetables on the market one after another recently, and I will send some over when the time comes, please help me check it." If you think it's good, buy more. ”

Liu Yuebing nodded and said, "This is no problem, if the quality is as good as the tomatoes, if you don't say that I will ask for more." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yuebing paused, and then continued: "I am quite popular in the catering circle, as long as your vegetables are really good, I will definitely help you recommend them to other peers, and I am afraid that your vegetables will be in short supply at that time." ”

Although he just met Liu Yuebing today, Li Yuan also saw that he was a very down-to-earth person. Since Liu Yuebing said this, Li Yuan hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time became more confident in his future.

After coming out of Xinghualou, Li Yuan rode a tricycle back to catch up. Although he was busy for most of the day today, he was in a very happy mood. Li Yuan knew that it was a very big gain to know Liu Yuebing, and it would be very helpful to his future career.

However, the problem in front of Li Yuan at the moment is how to grow so many different varieties of vegetables. After all, if you want to supply major hotels and restaurants, the amount you need will definitely not be less. Even with the help of Jin Zhu, it would definitely not work to plant it in his small yard.

"Let's go and ask Lao Liao and see what way he has it." On his way back to the urban village, Li Yuan made a decision.

As usual, Lao Liao, who has inconvenient legs and feet, still does bamboo carving at home. Hearing Li Yuan's familiar footsteps, he asked without even raising his head, "I heard that you went to sell tomatoes again today?" ”

"yes." Li Yuan didn't hide it from Lao Liao, sat down on the small stool next to him and said: "I have already thought about it, I will devote myself to agriculture in the future, and I will be a vegetable farmer!" ”

Lao Liao was very familiar with Li Yuan, and he knew that he was not joking just by listening to the tone of his voice, so he stopped what he was doing, looked at Li Yuan and said slowly: "Boy, are you really going to farm?" ”

"It's not farming, it's farming." Li Yuan corrected Lao Liao's words, and then said confidently: "As long as you can make money and don't break the law, it doesn't matter which line of work you do!" ”

Lao Liao nodded and said, "Speaking of which, this is also the right line, much better than you are messing around now." It's just that...... Are you sure you can do it well? ”

"Of course, I decided after thinking about it." Li Yuan said confidently: "Do you remember the tomatoes I brought you a few days ago?" It was a new variety from a friend, and he had other new varieties of vegetable seeds that could be offered to me at a low price. ”

Lao Liao nodded and said, "The tomatoes last time were really good, and they looked and tasted very good." If other varieties of vegetables are of this standard, you can indeed try this path. ”

Li Yuan said: "I think so too, but the biggest problem now is that there is no place to grow vegetables." At first, I didn't plan to make it big, as long as I could have a few acres of land nearby. You're familiar with this area, can you help me ask? ”

Lao Liao lit a cigarette and thought for a moment, and said slowly to Li Yuan: "Speaking of this, I remembered that on the vacant land at the end of Guanqian Street, there was an old couple in Shandong who had cultivated a vegetable field. Recently, I heard that they are going back to their hometown, so I can go and ask for you. If they don't give up the vegetable plot to someone else, you have a good chance of taking it. ”

Li Yuan said happily: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now!" ”

Lao Liao regards Li Yuan as his junior and has always cared about him very much. Seeing that Li Yuan was enthusiastic about this matter, Lao Liao was not ambiguous, and immediately went out with him on crutches.

Lao Liao had difficulty moving, and the two walked for a while before they came to the open space he said before. The vacant land is located at the end of Guanqian Street and is about the size of seven or eight acres of land. It used to be a residential area, but after the relocation, it became an empty space. Later, I heard that the capital chain of the developer was broken, and there had been no movement for several years.

The clearing was surrounded by a wall more than a man high, but if you turned a corner, you could see a small dilapidated door. Lao Liao was not polite, and directly pushed open the door and went in and shouted: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang is not there?" ”

"Yes!" An old man who was about the same age as Lao Liao came out, and behind him there was an old lady of the same age, who should be the old couple from other places that Lao Liao said.

Lao Liao and Lao Zhang are very familiar with each other, and they said with a smile without being polite: "Lao Zhang, I heard that you two are going back to your hometown?" ”

"yes." Lao Zhang nodded and said, "We are all old, and we can't make any money by staying here anyway, so we should go back and enjoy a few years of happiness." ”

Lao Liao nodded and said, "It's a good thing that the leaves fall back to the roots." You two go back, is there still anyone to serve in that vegetable patch? ”

"That piece of land has been barren for more than a year, and it's too old to be moved." Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "Who will grow their own vegetables and eat them now, I'm afraid that land will be barren forever." ”

This situation is exactly what Li Yuan wants, and he can't wait to say: "Uncle Zhang, why don't you give me this piece of land, I want to grow some vegetables or something by myself, okay?" ”

Lao Zhang glanced at Li Yuan with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "What's wrong with this, anyway, our old couple will go back the day after tomorrow, if you want, you can come over and grow vegetables at any time." It's just that the land has been barren for a long time, and you have to fix it first. ”

"That's fine, then we'll make up our minds!" Li Yuan nodded hurriedly, then took out a few hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Lao Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, this is a little bit of my heart, you can accept it." ”

Lao Zhang hurriedly excused himself and said, "I can't take the money!" This land was not mine originally, anyone can come and plant it when I leave, what kind of reputation is it to give money! ”

Li Yuan insisted: "Uncle Zhang, no matter what, you spent labor to reclaim this land. I'm stained with your light, this little money is not much, it's my heart, don't dislike it. ”

Lao Liao glanced at Li Yuan with satisfaction, and also helped him persuade Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, everyone is a neighbor, don't be so polite, this money must be collected!" ”

Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, then I'm welcome." I still have some vegetable growing stuff here, which I originally planned to bring back, but now I will leave it to you, you will definitely need it. And the key to the hut is also left for you, although it is a little shabby, but it is still possible to put things. ”

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Lao Zhang again. I told him that I would come over to clean up the land in three days, and then I said goodbye to Lao Liao and left.
