Chapter 23 Two hundred dollars a pound
The land vacated by Xu Fuqiang picking vegetables naturally became the land where Xu Qingzhi planted vegetables.
Wang Yanmei didn't stop it, and Xu Fuqiang had an idea, as long as her daughter was happy, she would plant it if she wanted to.
So, every day Xu Fuqiang went home to pick vegetables, Xu Qingzhi carried a hoe and sprinkled vegetable seeds to plant vegetables.
Water spinach, bok choy, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce are all planted.
The vegetable field in front is not enough to plant, Xu Qingzhi went to the foot of the back mountain to open up some vacant land, all of which were the original vegetable fields, but they were barren, and they could be planted by weeding.
But weeding itself is not an easy task.
Xu Fuqiang looked at the patches of weeded land, and sighed in his heart, when did his daughter become so good at farming, this means that he has to work for several days.
Xu Qingzhi carried a hoe and a straw hat, went home with the fiery sunset, and shouted: "Dad, what time is it?" Is it too late for the last trip to the county seat? ”
"It's too late."
Half a month later, Wang Yanmei received a call from her third aunt, who was already in Kyoto.
"Third aunt."
"Yanmei, I'm embarrassed to say this. Well, do you still have vegetables? ”
"These days, it's all the vegetables that Fuqiang and the light know go back to pick, I have to ask." Wang Yanmei was stir-frying in the kitchen, and she was about to finish the last dish, and shouted at the top of her voice while stir-frying: "Come here, I'll ask you something." ”
Xu Fuqiang was lying on the single sofa in the living room, playing with the landlord on his mobile phone, which was taught to him yesterday.
He usually has nothing to do in the village, he will go out to play cards, and he won't win or lose much, but his skills are not good and he always loses, and he has been in the county these days, and he is still a bit addicted to cards.
I taught him how to play on his mobile phone, and he could play at home without spending money.
When he has nothing to do in the past two days, Xu Fuqiang will open his mobile phone and play two, and when he loses all the beans, he won't play.
Charge money, that's impossible to charge money.
Hearing his daughter-in-law shouting, Xu Fuqiang held a mobile phone and went to the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you still have those vegetables you grow?"
"Yesterday, the fourth aunt asked for it, and all I planted was the tomatoes and cucumbers, and I picked them all and gave them to the fourth aunt."
Chen Xiaoqing is the eldest sister, a total of seven sisters, he sent food to the third aunt, the fourth aunt came to ask for it, and the second aunt and the other three aunts are also in the county, so it's not good if you don't send it. Xu Fuqiang picked them all, and each family gave a little.
The third aunt heard it clearly on the phone and knew that there was no food. But looking at the dishes on the table, the grandson just refused to eat, shouting that he wanted to eat the cucumbers and tomatoes that day.
She could only be cheeky and asked, "Yanmei, do you think you can order more food later?" I'll buy it from you then. ”
"Third aunt, what are you talking about? It's just a few vegetables, and there's nothing to talk about. ”
"That's not possible, you have to give money. Yanmei, let me tell you the truth, the dishes you sent that day, our family loves to eat, and I feel fragrant after eating it for several days, and then I always feel that it tastes worse when I eat something else. The third aunt recalled the dishes of those days, and her saliva secreted unconsciously, she paused, and then said: "But I was too embarrassed to ask you again, so I found Jinlan, and Jinlan also sent me some dishes, the dishes didn't taste right, not as good as your family." My son and grandson are both picky eaters, and now my grandson is clamoring to eat your food. By the way, even the parents of several children in their class called to ask Zhiming where they could buy the tomatoes and cucumbers that their children brought that day. ”
The third aunt didn't expect that her grandson, who is usually a picky eater, could love vegetables to this point, and in the past, breakfast was milk bread and apples, so she had to take cucumbers and tomatoes to school for breakfast that day.
The daughter-in-law still refused, thinking that she would make others laugh.
But the child cried and insisted on bringing it, so he could only let him take it, and stuffed him with milk and bread in his school bag.
The child not only ate it himself, but also distributed it to several classmates.
As a result, a few days later, someone called Zhiming and asked where he could buy the tomatoes and cucumbers.
The primary school where the children study is the corresponding school in the community, and the community is a high-end residential project, and the people who live there are either rich or expensive.
Among the few people who came to ask, there were also partners of Zhiming Company, who were troubled by their own children and had no choice but to ask.
They hadn't eaten it themselves, and they thought it was just a tomato and a cucumber, how delicious it could be. But if the child has to eat, then call and ask, buy some, it's okay, it's okay if the price is more expensive.
The third aunt told Wang Yanmei these things briefly, "Yanmei, you usually sell more vegetables, so why don't you sell them to us." I heard my son say that the tomatoes in the high-end boutique supermarket opposite the community are only two or three in a box, selling for 199 miles, and the cucumbers are still sold by the root, 150 a piece, and there is nothing less than 100 yuan in the whole supermarket. He went to someone else's house once before and tasted it, but it was not as delicious as the food grown by your rich and powerful family. ”
"Third aunt, you ...... Is that true? Wang Yanmei couldn't believe it.
"It's true, there's no need for the third aunt to lie to you. Several parents were troubled by their children, saying that they were willing to buy even 200 yuan a catty. ”
Xu Fuqiang gasped, "Two hundred yuan a catty? ”
"Yes, two hundred yuan a catty!" The third aunt said, "Yanmei, I think this price is appropriate." As long as you want, when the vegetables are planted, I will buy them at this price. ”
