Today happened to be Saturday, and the third uncle's cousins who were in high school were all going home for the weekend. Xu Yang happened to be planning to pick tomatoes and cabbages, and his eldest cousin also sent a pair of his children to help.
I came to the field to check yesterday afternoon and found that both vegetables were ripe. So today I took the opportunity to bring my cousins to help in the field.
The two or three meter high plant path is covered with densely packed tomatoes, each of which is as big as the mouth of a bowl. The red tomatoes are very eye-catching.
"Well, it's so delicious, sour and licking, fragrant and refreshing!"
As soon as they arrived at the field, the four teenagers saw the attractive tomatoes and couldn't help but pick one. They rubbed it casually and ate it as fruit, and they were full of admiration.
Xu Yang smiled and said: "Eat and get to work! When the work is done, there will be some for you to eat!"
Four young men and women hurriedly started picking.
At the beginning, several people were very interested, but once their interest turned into work, it was a different matter.
It didn't take long for the children to become lazy. Fortunately, Lin Xiuhan asked a few women in the village who were idle at home to help pick.
It took a whole day like this, until after dinner, Xu Yang sorted out the vegetables and put them in the warehouse next door.
"Yangzi, how are you? I'm exhausted today!" Lin Xiuhan asked her son.
"The vegetables have been brought back and are now waiting to be sold. I have visited several hotels and restaurants, but they don't use a large amount. I'm afraid there will be some leftover."
Xu Yang said helplessly. He had misjudged the vegetable yield.
The average yield of ordinary tomatoes is 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms per acre, but the energy tomatoes grown by Xu Yang can reach more than 5,000 kilograms on half an acre of land. Chinese cabbage also grows extremely well and has a rich yield.
"By the way, your grandpa's son came to see you today. He seems to want to talk about fish. He is the buyer of Wenshui Holiday Hotel. Wenshui Holiday Hotel has a relatively large demand for food. You can ask him
He's doing a favor."
"In addition, the vegetable vendors who ride tricycles every day to sell food need to go and buy goods. Our vegetables are better and they are completely natural products. They should like it."
"We can give the remaining ones to the neighbors, and then we can dispose of them by drying some vegetables or something."
Lin Xiuhan gave her son advice.
"Okay, I'll go to grandpa's house first."
When he heard that his grandfather's son wanted to talk about fish, Xu Yang knew that his food was marketable. Since the fish raised in the secret realm could satisfy them, they would definitely not be disappointed if they were also energy vegetables.
"Cousin, I'm here, what do you want from me?" Xu Yang came to his grandfather's house carrying a bag of tomatoes and cabbage.
This cousin's name is Xu Binghai. He is actually still in the fifth server. He is about the same age as Xu Yang, but his seniority is extremely high.
"Yangzi, where did you get that fish? Can you provide it all year round?"
Xu Binghai asked nervously, after all, this is related to his future destiny.
"My friend raised the fish. He recently changed his career and sold this batch of fish. I have already negotiated with him to take over his fish pond, and he is responsible for guiding me in techniques and so on. So I can still fish.
Continue to maintain quality and quantity.”
Because what happened in the secret realm was too unbelievable, Xu Yang didn't want others to know about it, so he made up a friend who kept fish.
"Yangzi, if the quality of the fish remains unchanged, can you leave all the fish to your cousin in the future? My cousin won't let you suffer in terms of price. How about that?"
Xu Binghai stared at Xu Yang with hopeful eyes, fearing that Xu Yang would deny his proposal.
"It's easy to talk about fish. We are all our own people. But cousin, let me try two more vegetables for you, tomatoes and cabbage."
Xu Yang handed the vegetables in his hand to Xu Binghai.
"From the color, it looks like it is indeed a top-grade vegetable. Well, these tomatoes taste good. Haha, Yangzi, you are planning to let me sell vegetables for you."
Xu Binghai looked at the vegetables, then picked up a tomato and took a bite. The juice in his mouth was sweet and yet sour, which made him extremely satisfied.
Even if Xu Yang doesn't approach him to sell vegetables, he will take the initiative to approach Xu Yang after eating them. After all, such purely natural vegetables without pesticides or chemical fertilizers are rare these days.
Xu Binghai discovered that Xu Yang was his lucky star, and it brought him hope not long after he came back.
"Yangzi, let me go back tomorrow with these two vegetables to try them. According to my calculations, they will definitely sell well. So, just wait and count the money!"
Xu Binghai said with a smile.
"Then I'll thank you uncle first. Once the sale is completed, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Xu Yang finally felt relieved. This cousin was responsible for purchasing for the Wenshui Holiday Hotel. If he could help with some of it, plus the other hotels and restaurants, the vegetables he had might not be enough.
The next day,
Xu Yang was having lunch when the phone rang.
"Yangzi, do you have those vegetables at home? We need those vegetables, and I will go to your house to transport them right away! Don't go away!"
Xu Yang pressed the answer button, and Xu Binghai's hurried words came one after another. Then, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
"This guy can't speak clearly." Xu Yang muttered.
Little did he know that the dishes Xu Binghai brought today had a great response after being fried. People kept ordering dishes made with cabbage and tomatoes.
But Xu Binghai didn't bring many vegetables. After a few orders, the dishes were all gone. The boss urgently notified him to buy these two vegetables.
"Yangzi, let's go to Wenshui Building together. The boss wants to discuss the next cooperation with you."
Xu Binghai got out of the car and hurriedly called Xu Yang to bring the dishes.
"Uncle, why are you so anxious all of a sudden?" Xu Yang asked puzzledly.
"It's not just thanks to your fish and vegetables. I'm very busy today. You can discuss the price with the boss later. I'm not in the mood to ask. You can raise one or two times the market price. Your vegetables are worth it anyway."
I think the boss will agree to this price."
Xu Binghai was sweating profusely, but he was very happy, as if he was going to make a fortune.
"Well, I understand."
After a while, the car drove to the downstairs of the Wenshui Building in the town, where a middle-aged man was walking around like an ant on a hot pot.
"Binghai, hurry, hurry! The guests are waiting."
As soon as the car door opened, a middle-aged man rushed over.
"Yangzi, this is Xu Liming, the owner of our Wenshui Resort Hotel. Boss, this is my cousin Xu Yang. Fifty kilograms of tomatoes and 30 kilograms of cabbage. I'll bring the vegetables up first, and you can negotiate the price."
Xu Bing posted the quantity of vegetables on the poster and called on the workers to carry the vegetables up.
"Okay, okay! Send it over quickly, I won't let your nephew suffer at the price."
Xu Liming hurriedly urged.
"Mr. Xu, let's go sit in the office!" Xu Liming invited. Xu Yang nodded and said, "Manager Xu still calls me Yangzi. Mr. Xu sounds a little awkward."
"Haha, then don't call me Manager Xu. Speaking of which, we are still in the same village. In terms of seniority, you have to be my uncle. But now our family has moved to the town. My family originally opened a small supermarket in the village.
"
"Then I'll climb a high branch and call you Uncle Ming!"
Xu Yang nodded and said that he remembered that there was a small supermarket in the village when he was a child, but now that it has been more than 20 years, his memory has been blurred.
"Why are you climbing a high branch? My uncle wants you to take more care of him from now on! What can you drink?"
Xu Liming opened the office door and smiled.
"Thank you, just a glass of water!"
"Yangzi, the price of vegetables now varies from place to place. The market price of Chinese cabbage ranges from 50 cents per kilogram to 5 yuan per kilogram. The price of tj Dashahe vegetable market is the cheapest, while the price in ah Shucheng is the highest, up to 5 yuan per kilogram."
"The current market price of tomatoes is between one yuan and six yuan per kilogram, which is also the highest price in Shucheng. Of course, this does not include transportation fees."
"The quality of your vegetables is extremely high, which is worthy of recognition, so I will give you the highest price. Tomatoes are priced at six yuan per kilogram, and cabbage is five yuan per kilogram. What do you think?"
Xu Liming analyzed the market conditions and then gave the price.
"Uncle Ming, these two vegetables are new varieties that are not currently on the market, so there is no specific price! I am currently in the experimental stage, but there is something you may not know. These new varieties of vegetables are high-energy vegetables.
It contains a lot of vitamins, about five to ten times more than ordinary vegetables, so should the price be higher?"
Xu Yang took a sip of water and expressed his opinion.
