"What is the price of these dishes, the village chief?" Li Dong asked tentatively.

"Why, I'm interested, these are not sold in small quantities, a basket of 30 yuan, no counteroffer." The village chief has a tone that loves to buy or not.

Li Dong didn't speak, he lowered his head and thought about it, this basket of vegetables is about 30 catties, so it is calculated that one catty of vegetables is one dollar. The common fresh vegetables on the market generally cost between 0.5 yuan and 3 yuan, and 30 catties of fresh vegetables cost 50 or 60 yuan.

If it's a stale vegetable, you have to give at least a 50% discount, plus the freight, and you will lose money if you don't do it, no wonder you can't sell it, it's too pit.

"Village chief, this is too high, the risk is too great." Li Dong did not hide it.

"Hehe, young man, I won't hide it from you, if we can't sell it, we will eat it ourselves, and if you want to pick it up, you can't pick it up. Look at your sincerity, if you have all-inclusive, the price is 160 yuan. The village chief suggested.

Li Dong was immediately moved, and this time he made a lot of profits. But then he sighed again, the key is that he doesn't have enough money, Li Dong hated himself very much at this time, why didn't he ask Uncle Feng to borrow a little money before coming.

"Village chief, do you think this is possible? I can eat all the vegetables, but you can see my bicycle too, and I can't take them all at once.

As for me, I'll pay half of the money to buy three boxes of dishes, and I'll buy the rest tomorrow, do you think it's okay? ”

Li Dong and Yan Yue discussed with the village chief, this was the only way he could think of. The village chief thought about it for a moment, nodded and replied:

"It's okay, but you have to pay a deposit of 20 yuan, and if you don't come tomorrow, then 20 yuan will compensate me for my loss."

Li Dong thought about it for a while, and then agreed, anyway, he would not break the contract, and there would be no loss.

Li Dong paid 100 yuan and received a receipt from the village chief, which stated that 20 yuan was a deposit. Then he asked the village chief to put all three boxes of vegetables into two large bags and hang them on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle.

After the transaction was completed, Li Dong did not waste any more time and left on the bike. Coming to a no-man's land, Li Dong put all the bicycles and vegetables into the space.

In his previous life, Li Dong was in a pyramid marketing organization, and in order to save money on vegetables, he often bought cheap vegetables that were wilting and drooping. To this end, he also found a secret recipe on the Internet that can restore the freshness of vegetables, which is to soak them in warm water at 50 degrees, which is said to have been discovered by the people of Fuso.

This is also the main reason why Li Dong is in a hurry to buy this batch of vegetables, if it is handled well, he can sell it at the price of normal vegetables, which is almost one or two times the huge profit, no one will refuse.

50 degrees of warm water, Li Dong can not provide it for the time being, and he needs to go to the city to have the conditions. At present, I can only soak two bags of vegetables in the pool, although the effect is not very good, but it is better than being roasted by the sun outside. If it continues to be dried like this, it will become a dried vegetable, and it will really not recover.

Out of the space, in order to hurry, Li Dong didn't even have time to eat lunch, and pedaled his bicycle to the city. Finally, before two o'clock, I returned to the city and did not go home directly, because there was not so much water at home that could be used.

In the last days, water is a precious resource, even in Shuchuan, where the water source is the most abundant, it is supplied according to the population limit, and if you want more water, you can only spend money.

Take Li Dong's family as an example, his family of six people, regardless of age, each has 1 liter, so that they can receive 6 liters of water for free every day. If you don't have enough, you have to spend money to buy it, and the price of water varies with the amount of precipitation, basically between 1 cent and 1 dollar.

Li Dong came to a grocery store and bought a thermometer, no way, the temperature of the water needs to be accurate to 50 degrees, so that it will have the best effect. I went to the water supply point again, spent 8 yuan, and bought a large bucket of water, which was about the same as the bottled water in my previous life.

After shopping, Li Dong rode the car and prepared to go home, approaching the door of the house, finding a dead end where no one was around, and tying the two bags of vegetables back to the back seat of the car.

"Dongzi, how was your run today?" Lu Xiumei saw that her eldest son was back, and asked with concern.

"Auntie, look, I bought vegetables." Li Dong patted the two bags in the back seat, looking triumphant.

"Really, I'll see." As he spoke, he helped his eldest son unload the bag and the bucket of water, then untied the bag, fiddled with it a few times with his hand, and asked with an ugly face:

"Silly son, have you been deceived, this dish looks wilted." Actually, after soaking, the vegetables have already improved a lot.

"A-Niang, don't worry, the prices of these dishes are discounted. And I have a secret recipe to ensure that these dishes will be fresh and tender again in a while. Li Dong was afraid that Ah Niang would be angry, so he quickly explained.

Lu Xiumei didn't speak, just looked at Li Dong with suspicion, like a fool.

Li Dong couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'm hungry, and I haven't eaten at noon." ”

Sure enough, Lu Xiumei listened, let herself take a break, and went to cook. Li Dong stayed idle, found a bucket, and poured a small half bucket of water into it. He filled the electric kettle at home with water, plugged it in, and burned it.

In less than ten minutes, the water was boiling. Li Dong poured all the water in the electric kettle into the bucket, measured it with the temperature, 71 degrees, and hurriedly poured in some cold water, just like that, while adding water, he looked at the thermometer, and finally adjusted the temperature.

After preparation, Li Dong grabbed a large handful of vegetables and soaked them in a bucket, and in order to keep warm, he also took a piece of clothing and covered it on the bucket.

"Dongzi, come over for dinner." Lu Xiumei shouted.

"Here we are." Li Dong went to the kitchen.

Because she was in a hurry, Lu Xiumei only made a hodgepodge, that is, she put mixed grains, oil, salt and some vegetable leaves together and boiled them into a pot of paste.

Li Dong was obviously hungry, and in less than ten minutes, he ran out of lunch, and even licked the bowl cleanly. Lu Xiumei's heart was sour when she watched from the side, if it weren't for this family, Dongzi wouldn't have worked so hard.

After eating, Li Dong took A-Niang to accept the recovery results of vegetables. Lu Xiumei couldn't believe her eyes, obviously the vegetables that were wilting just now would all become as if they had just been picked.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Xiumei believed that her eldest son really had a secret recipe, she took Li Dong's hand and hurriedly asked:

"Dongzi, did you hear about this secret recipe?"

"I saw it in an ancient book, A-Niang, don't worry, no one should know." Li Dong said with certainty that this is almost 500 years old, and it is not important knowledge, and it is estimated that it has long disappeared in the long river of history.

"That's good, with this secret recipe, Dongzi, you will be much more sure of selling vegetables." Lu Xiumei's biggest worry is that it will always be her children.

It took more than an hour for the mother and son to finally soak all the vegetables, and although it was not 100% successful, at least most of them were back to their best.

"Daguo, you're back, why are there so many vegetables at home?" It turned out that the little girl woke up, and she slept long enough for this nap.

"Isn't the eldest brother going to sell vegetables, why did you forget?" Li Dong teased.

"Hmph, I didn't forget it, I even had to go to sell vegetables with Daguo." The little girl was very angry when she saw that Daguo didn't believe in herself.

"Okay, then we'll go sell vegetables together later. Little Five, will you sell? Li Dong continued to tease.

Little girl: "Cabbage, a piece of six......"

Little girl: "Fresh celery, only two yuan per catty......"

Little girl: "The lettuce of the puppet family is cheap and delicious, come and buy it......"

Little girl: "......"
