Chapter 136: The Vegetable Plan
After the equipment of the hot pot was settled, Ye Xiaoyu began to prepare for going to the capital to find Shopkeeper Liu.
It is said that it is to start preparing, but in fact, it is to prepare some souvenirs, and come to ask people to do things, so you can't go empty-handed. However, in this regard, thanks to Lu Yishou, since Ye Xiaoyu told him that day that he was going to the capital to ask the shopkeeper Liu, he was very attentive, and specially ordered someone to kill a pig, cut off the best pork legs and pig's head meat, and took a few jars of home-brewed aged rice wine, and turned out a can of aged white tea brought from the south, and asked Ye Xiaoyu to take it to the shopkeeper Liu. Although Jiang Ping picked the door, because this business also had a share of the Lu family, she didn't say anything, and Lu Yishou was in charge.
Ye Xiaoyu herself got up early that day and made a few pots of small cakes, and the things that Lu Yishou took were all big heads, and these small cakes of his own were regarded as decorations, so that Shopkeeper Liu could try them and change the taste.
Some east and west, when Ye Xiaoyu set off for the capital, these things were stuffed with a carriage. In fact, whether Shopkeeper Liu will be willing to help him, Ye Xiaoyu has no bottom in his heart, if he doesn't help, will this car of things be wasted. Ye Xiaoyu, who has never done loss-making business, suddenly became very nervous when she thought of this.
After the carriage stopped in front of Yuling Cloth Workshop and explained the intention to the clerk, Ye Xiaoyu stood in the rest area and waited.
After a while, Shopkeeper Liu came out of the inner room, and when he saw that it was Ye Xiaoyu, he was stunned at first, and then smiled. Ye Xiaoyu also knew that he had only looked for him a few days ago, and it didn't take long for him to look for him again. If it were herself, she would have felt strange.
After a few words of greeting with Shopkeeper Liu, Ye Xiaoyu asked Uncle Yang to move the things in the carriage to the store, although there were not too many things, but they were large items like pork and rice wine, and in an instant, half of the rest area was occupied.
"Shopkeeper Liu, these are all self-produced by our family, and this year's harvest is good, Uncle Lu said that you have helped us so much. Asked me to send you some. ”
Look at the stuff in that place. Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Huh? Xiaoyu, your family is so polite, I didn't help anything, this ...... Took so many things......"
Shopkeeper Liu looked at these farm specialties. I'm a little embarrassed.
After a polite exchange between the two of you. At Ye Xiaoyu's insistence. In the end, Shopkeeper Liu still accepted those things.
Because it was already noon, Shopkeeper Liu left Ye Xiaoyu to eat in the store, and the Yuling cloth workshop was very large. In addition to the storefront, there is also a large courtyard in the room, listening to the tone of the shopkeeper Liu, in order to facilitate management, he lives in the guest rooms in the courtyard, and his family lives in the old home in the south, he only goes back during the New Year's holidays.
At the dinner table, Ye Xiaoyu inadvertently mentioned the idea that he wanted to supply vegetables and fruits, hoping to find a few stores in the capital, and the shopkeeper Liu immediately agreed, and without waiting for Ye Xiaoyu to mention it, he said that he happened to know a few shops in the capital, and if Ye Xiaoyu really wanted to do it, he could help contact him.
Listening to Shopkeeper Liu's words, Ye Xiaoyu felt that her jaw was about to fall on the table, which was simply beyond her imagination, she originally thought that Shopkeeper Liu would definitely shirk it first, but what she didn't expect was that before Ye Xiaoyu finished speaking, he agreed with his idea, and promised to help him introduce himself.
This...... Ye Xiaoyu felt that her heart was beating fast, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper Liu, she would definitely shout to express her joy.
As the saying goes, "the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short", Ye Xiaoyu was a little naïve to think that the reason why Shopkeeper Liu was willing to help was that the things he gave him must have helped more or less. Shopkeeper Liu agreed to help him with this, and he was quite sure of that tone, no matter what, this was not a loss-making deal, Ye Xiaoyu's heart that had been hanging finally let go a little.
Daye Guo has always advocated treating people with courtesy, and Shopkeeper Liu naturally would not let Ye Xiaoyu return to Lujiazhuang empty-handed, because it was in the store, and the inventory was not very large, but he still took some dry goods for Ye Xiaoyu to take back. A big bag full of people, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't open it in person, and after accepting it, she put it in the car.
Shopkeeper Liu agreed to help, and the business was half successful, and the rest was only a matter of follow-up and price. Just now, Shopkeeper Liu had already agreed with Ye Xiaoyu that he would go to negotiate with these shopkeepers in the past two days, and then contact Ye Xiaoyu, because they had to see the appearance and condition of vegetables and fruits before they could determine the price. But now it is early spring, the rapeseed has just gone to the ground, the vegetables in the field have at most a small sprout, and many fruits have already passed the season, so, after a few days, after the shopkeeper Liu contacted the shop that supplied the goods, Ye Xiaoyu also took them to the field of the Lu family to see, there are no vegetables, at least let the family see the area of dry land where vegetables are grown, otherwise, all the shopkeepers in the capital are not fuel-efficient lamps, even if there is an acquaintance introduced by the shopkeeper Liu, they will not spend the money in vain, they must see the real thing.
As soon as Ye Xiaoyu returned to Lujiazhuang, he hurriedly rushed to Beiyuan with the dry goods that Shopkeeper Liu had taken. On the one hand, she wants to report the good news to Lu Yishou, on the other hand, Ye Xiaoyu doesn't know what the situation in the Lu family's field is, before those merchants in the capital come here to take a look, the ground must be cleaned up, so that those dry lands look fertile and of good quality, and lay a good foundation before they can negotiate a good price.
Ye Xiaoyu remembered the promotional videos of those farmhouse vegetables she saw in her previous life, in the acres of neat fields, the vegetables were verdant, clean and attractive, which made people very appetizing at first glance. Although we can't see the color of the vegetables grown by the Lu family now, at least we have to clean up the land where they grow through guò in the past few days, so that people don't feel that the ridges are full of human and animal feces at a glance. Now I am just starting out, and only by satisfying the other party can this business continue.
In Beiyuan, Lu Yishou and Jiang Ping were there, after listening to Ye Xiaoyu's news, Lu Yishou was also a little unbelievable, he didn't expect Ye Xiaoyu to go to the capital so smoothly, he also hung his heart for Ye Xiaoyu for a day today.
Regarding the matter of vegetables in the field, Lu Yishou is not too worried. Because he has some business, and because he is old, he asks Lao Wu to hire people to do the things of growing vegetables, these people are all experienced croppers, and there should be no problem with the things he grows. And my own dry land, although not as good as the suburbs of the capital, but in Quanxiu Village is also one of the best land, which was all dry land before, where vegetables were grown. Color, quality or something. Don't worry at all. Although Lu Yishou said this, Ye Xiaoyu himself was still a little worried, and some things still had to be seen with his own eyes. Otherwise. There will always be a feeling of insecurity.
Really. Ye Xiaoyu's intuition is still very accurate.
When Lu Yishou took her to the field the next day, far away, Ye Xiaoyu was almost suffocated by the smell of "Yoneda Gong". Farm vegetables are natural. It is reasonable to use the farmer's homemade fertilizer to irrigate, but the smell and sight in the field in front of me is a bit like a large garbage dump in the previous life, with discarded farm tools, straw hats, rotten clothes, scarecrows and other messy things discarded all over the ground, and there are still unused human and animal manure in the field, which is crawling with white maggots, and there is not even a gap to take a step on the ridge.
The vegetable seeds have been scattered in the ground, and many of them have sprouted small green shoots, but they are still too small and tender to be moved to a large field for planting after a while. The soil is swarthy, looks very fertile, and the fertilizer is sufficient, so the vegetables grown should not be too bad, but the important thing at the moment is not to worry about the vegetables that will grow in the future, but to clean up the messy fields in front of you.
Ye Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Lu Yishou, he was also surprised, he seemed to be stunned by this scene, and after coming back to his senses, he quickly asked someone to find Lao Wu, and at the same time questioned him well, by the way, he asked him to find a few short-term workers to clean up the things in the field, and plow the land again.
Here Lao Wu was eating in his house in Beiyuan, and when he heard someone running to say that Lu Yishou took Ye Xiaoyu to the field, he was so frightened that he quickly put down his chopsticks and hurriedly ran to the ground.
The land used by the Lu family to grow vegetables and fruits is a long distance away from Lujiazhuang, which was originally a dry field left to him by Lu Yishou's father, when their family was poor, and the whole family relied on these more than ten acres of dry land to live. Later, after Lu Yishou grew up and developed, there were more fields, and these more than ten acres of dry land were far away from the Lu family, and the land was generally fertile, and there was no ditch for water diversion and irrigation, so in the case that the paddy fields had hundreds of acres, Lu Yishou resolutely made a decision to use these more than ten acres of dry land in remote places to grow vegetables and fruits, sweet potatoes and the like. Later, the annual harvest of vegetables and sweet potatoes of the Lu family also confirmed that Lu Yishou's decision was completely correct. The Lu family hired so many long-term and short-term workers, and each meal of fish and meat was paired with green vegetables, and then accompanied by sweet potato and white rice, saving a lot of money on rice and grocery shopping.
But people are like this, no matter how poor they were before, how hard they lived, after living a good life, especially after they got used to it, inertia will follow. Therefore, after the fifth child came, Lu Yishou handed over all the more than ten acres of dry land to him to manage, except for the money paid to the hired workers, he never went to the field to see, but at the end of each year, he listened to the fifth person say that the harvest in the field.
It wasn't until Ye Xiaoyu told him about her plan and realized that vegetables also had value in buying and selling, that Lu Yishou remembered that he still had such a large piece of dry land. Now it seems that the laissez-faire management that I have been doing may have to change a little.
When the fifth child was sweating profusely and panting and ran to the field, he saw Lu Yishou's gloomy face, and Ye Xiaoyu, who was still standing next to him, who had always been "eventful", suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What about people? Didn't I tell you to call a few more people over and help clean up? ”
Seeing Lao Wu, Lu Yishou didn't wait for him to explain, but spoke directly.
"Back to the master, I have already called someone, and I will come right away. If the master is coming to the field, he should tell me, I can arrange it in advance, and now standing here like this, it is easy to get dirty clothes......"
Lao Wu lowered his head and said, but his eyes glanced at Ye Xiaoyu next to him. (To be continued......)
