Chapter 511 The beginning of everything is difficult
On weekends, the commercial streets of the provincial capital are bustling with people coming and going.
Liao Yongchu and Xu Lizhu walked around for a long time, preparing to go to a restaurant on the side of the pedestrian street for lunch. Liao Yongchu had both hands empty, carrying large and small bags.
Xu Lizhu smiled and said: "You have worked hard today. I will reward you later and order your favorite braised pig's feet."
"It seems like you don't like eating at all. Hey, how did the hotel here turn into a farm? What the hell is Taoyuan Farm?" Liao Yongchu and Xu Lizhu had eaten here several times and had a good impression of the hotel here. But they didn't expect it.
The hotel here has turned into Taoyuan Farm.
"Is it a vegetable seller? If you open a vegetable shop here, isn't the owner of this shop's brain burned out?" Xu Lizhu said with a smile.
"It looks like the decoration is quite high-end. Why don't you go in and take a look? It would be nice to buy two fruits to eat." Liao Yongchu said.
Xu Lizhu and Liao Yongchu walked into Taoyuan Farm together.
"Welcome!" The welcoming lady standing at the door was very enthusiastic.
After Xu Lizhu and Liao Yongchu walked in, they found that the interior decoration of Taoyuan Farm was indeed very good. But this farm was really what they had guessed, it was just a vegetable seller.
"The owner of this store really has something wrong with his brain. Can he make money by opening a fruit and vegetable store here?" Liao Yongchu said with a smile.
"Don't talk about the facade fee, you can't even earn employee wages, right? Look! The vegetable prices in this store!" Xu Lizhu pointed to the vegetable price sign.
Liao Yongchu took one look and his eyes widened: "I'll kill you! They really dare to put up a price! This means they don't intend to do business properly."
"Cauliflower, 30 yuan per catty! Tianhong only costs 5 yuan per catty, right? Cabbage, 20 yuan per catty. Tianhong only costs 2 yuan per catty, right?..." Xu Lizhu compared the vegetable prices here with the supermarkets they often go to.
compared to.
"Hello, madam, the vegetables we have here are different from those in ordinary supermarkets. The vegetables we have here come from our own farms, and no pesticides or fertilizers are used during the cultivation process. They are green and pollution-free foods. Therefore, the cost of our vegetables is
Several times higher than ordinary vegetables. The color and aroma of these vegetables are very obviously different from ordinary vegetables. In addition, we have entrusted a third-party testing unit to conduct testing, and all indicators of our vegetables have reached the quality of organic food."
Peng Yong came over and introduced enthusiastically.
"You said you didn't use pesticides and fertilizers? Who can guarantee that you are not lying? You can get such a test report as long as you spend money, right?" Liao Yongchu couldn't help but say.
"Of course, the situations you mentioned are all possible, but you can check with the unit that does the testing for us to see if you can get such a testing report from them. As for whether pesticides and fertilizers are used on the farmland
, you can tell from the quality of vegetables, and it can even be determined through testing and analysis." Peng Yong said.
"But the vegetables here are too expensive! It's more than ten times the price of others," Xu Lizhu said.
"It is normal for organic vegetables to be ten times higher than ordinary vegetables. The quality difference between the two is more than ten times!" Peng Yong said.
"Are you sure your store won't close down because you can't sell vegetables?" Liao Yongchu asked.
Peng Yong smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. In fact, our profits today are already very amazing. Because we not only sell in stores. At present, our main income comes from orders from some high-end places in the provincial capital.
By the way, there are some vegetables on sale over there that you can buy and taste. The vegetables we have here taste completely different from the ordinary vegetables you buy in the supermarket."
Xu Lizhu looked in the direction pointed by Peng Yong and found that there were several vegetables on sale there.
Tomatoes, the original price is 35 yuan/jin. The discount price is 5 yuan/jin.
Cucumbers, original price 35 yuan/catty. Discounted price 5 yuan/catty.
…
The prices of these vegetables have become much more normal.
"Let's go. We're starving to death." Liao Yongchu said.
"Don't worry, buy a few tomatoes to eat. The tomatoes here are still very good in appearance. The cucumbers are also very good and look very fresh and tender!" Xu Lizhu just wanted to taste the taste of vegetables that originally cost 35 kilograms.
"Then buy some." Liao Yongchu went to pick some tomatoes and some cucumbers.
After buying it, Liao Yongchu washed the tomatoes and cucumbers with spring water and handed a tomato to Xu Lizhu: "Here, try it and see what these thirty-five pounds of tomatoes taste like."
When Xu Lizhu took a bite of the tomato, her eyes lit up. The tomato juice was so sweet and fragrant, completely different from ordinary tomatoes.
"Huh?"
When Liao Yong first saw Xu Lizhu's stunned look, he thought the tomatoes tasted very bad, so he quickly asked: "How is it? It doesn't taste good. Let's return it immediately!"
"What should I return? These tomatoes are so delicious. You should try it too. After we finish eating, we will go back and buy some more. Take advantage of the special price and buy more quickly." Xu Lizhu said.
Liao Yongchu was doubtful: "Is it so delicious?"
Liao Yongchu thought that even if these tomatoes were delicious, how could they be so delicious? It was not like he had never eaten organic tomatoes before. In fact, organic vegetables were just a name, and the taste was not much different. But when he took a bite, he really tasted the taste.
, I realized that there are such delicious tomatoes in the world.
Liao Yongchu and Xu Lizhu directly ate these tomatoes and cucumbers as lunch. Young people have a good appetite, and with the addition of cucumbers, the tomatoes taste really good, even more delicious than fruits. They didn't buy much just now, and after eating them, they seemed to have a stomachache.
Still empty.
When Liao Yongchu and Xu Lizhu ran back to Taoyuan Farm, they found that the tomatoes and cucumbers had been sold out. Not only tomatoes and cucumbers, but all the specials in Taoyuan Farm had been sold out. It seemed that they were not the only ones who came in to watch the fun. The two of them
One person will buy some to try it out, and others will do the same.
"If I had known, I should have bought more just now." Xu Lizhu began to regret.
"How about we buy some of those vegetables? I think the cantaloupe looks pretty good too," Liao Yongchu said.
"It's so expensive! Fifty yuan/catty." Xu Lizhu took one look at the price and felt a little sad.
"Maybe it tastes better?" Liao Yongchu said.
"Otherwise, let's buy two. At worst, we'll have to buy one less piece of clothing." Xu Lizhu also wanted to have a taste.
"Then buy two." Liao Yongchu said.
The cantaloupes here are quite big, each one weighs almost a pound. Two cantaloupes cost nearly a hundred yuan, which is not unaffordable. But eating two cantaloupes and spending so much money is a bit painful.
As a result, Liao Yongchu and Xu Lizhu couldn't help but find a place to eat the cantaloupe before they even walked out of the pedestrian street.
Xu Lizhu regretted it after eating. She didn't regret spending 100 yuan on two cantaloupes, but she spent too much money on clothes in the first place. Otherwise, she could have tried more melons and fruits at Taoyuan Farm.

"How is Taoyuan Farm's sales today?" Luo Tianwang asked.
Peng Yong shook his head: "It's not very ideal. Everyone still doesn't know enough about the vegetables from our Taoyuan Farm. Today's sales mainly rely on orders from several private restaurants. Star City Hotel doesn't even want to try it. They have a fixed supply chain and they don't even try it.
Pay attention to us."
"It doesn't matter, take your time. I didn't expect this business to be successful from the beginning. These vegetables will not be a big problem if they are stored for a few days. Today's special vegetables seem to have been sold out. This is a good sign."
