Chapter 147 Taking a Car

Lu Xiang and the women's director got into Liu Pang's car together.

The director of women's affairs was quite uneasy when she got on the car; it was her first time.

Lu Xiang reserved the best seat, the co-pilot seat, for the director of women's affairs. She sat in the back.

The director of women's affairs was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.

This is a car! In the past, if people in the village rode a tractor, they wouldn’t show off for a while.

Lu Xiang asked, "How many kilograms of vegetables did we bring today?"

The women's director said, "It seems like more than 240 kilograms." There were more in the field, but they hadn't picked them all because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to sell them, so they picked a little of each to try.

The women's director was quite powerful in the village, but was confused when she arrived in the county.

Especially the last time I followed Lu Zhaodi to give gifts, I was completely in the dark and it left me with a psychological trauma.

This time, the women's director was a little nervous when she followed Lu Xiang out, and she didn't say a word along the way.

Fatty Liu said to Lu Xiang, "Why don't we just keep it at the steel mill? My childhood friend Liu Zhang has already made all the arrangements!"

Ever since she made pig's head last time, the people in the steel factory have been obsessed with it for half a month. Now they are still obsessed with it, as if they have lost their soul, and they keep looking out the gate for no reason.

When Liu Zhang told Fatty this, he was overjoyed. It was a pity it was a short-term trade, and it wouldn't last long.

The workers in the factory are the richest and spend money happily!

In addition, this time Lu Xiang had formal documents issued by the county, so she could set up a stall openly and no one could interfere.

Lu Xiang was quite satisfied with Liu Pang's arrangement: "Okay, let's go over there!"

In the car, Lu Xiang asked the director of women's affairs, "How much do the vegetables cost?"

The women's director said, "They're all 30 cents a pound." Her heart was pounding as she spoke.

Money is cheap these days, so no one sells such expensive vegetables.

But this time, their village spent a lot of money to cultivate it carefully. It is the first time it has come out, and each dish is carefully selected. It is considered the best of the best.

In the past, villagers would carry their own vegetables to the county town, arrange them and sell them in piles.

The prices are very cheap.

After all, vegetables are not as good as meat, and the women's director doesn't know if she can sell them all.

Lu Xiang hummed and said, "One price, that's convenient." There is no distinction between things, you can mix and match whatever you want.

The women's director said, "Actually, it's okay to sell it for twenty cents!" Although the village chief asked to sell it for thirty cents, if it really couldn't be sold, it couldn't be taken back, so twenty cents was enough to make a profit.

About 240 kilograms of vegetables, at 20 cents per kilogram, that's about 48 yuan. As long as I can sell this much, it won't be a wasted trip.

Lu Xiang said, "Let's sell it for 30 cents. If there's more, we can offer a discount, like buy five pounds and get one free."

Although the people in the steel factory are rich, everyone has the mentality of wanting to take advantage. Besides, five kilograms of vegetables is not a lot, and they will be eaten up in two or three days.

Even if I sell 200 kilograms and give the rest away, I can still get 60 yuan.

The women's director is quite economical. She has never bought vegetables before, so she just agrees with whatever Lu Xiang says.

Seeing that Lu Xiang was well-organized and methodical, she felt a little relieved.

Soon they got out of the car, and Liu Zhang was waiting at the steel factory gate. When he saw Lu Xiang, he said, "Last time, Fatty said you brought him beef, and he's been tempted by me several times. Hey, can't you open a beef stall here? I'll go there every day!"

As soon as he saw Lu Xiang, he told her all his greed. Not only did he miss the delicious food Lu Xiang made, but everyone in the factory missed it too.

When the women's director was in the car, she had already heard Liu Pang's introduction. Although she didn't know Liu Zhang, she was still shocked.

The son of the steel plant director was so handsome that the village chief had to bow and nod whenever he saw him.

I didn't expect that he and Lu Xiang got along so well.

Lu Xiang smiled and said to him, "There will be a chance in the future. Beef is too expensive now!" Although she is rich, it is too difficult for her to earn money and she feels bad when spending it.

But Lu Xiang remembered that he loved it, so she brought him a portion next time she made beef.

After all, Liu Zhang helped a lot before it happened.

Lu Xiang remembered it in her heart, but didn't say it.

After they got off the bus, they put all the vegetables on the table. Liu Zhang had only heard that they sold vegetables here, and thought they were the kind of vegetables stored for winter.

In their area, there is a custom of storing radishes and cabbages in the winter.

I didn't take it seriously, but when I looked closely, I found cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, bamboo shoots, cabbage, beans, eggplant, pumpkin, and green leafy vegetables. There were all kinds of varieties, and each one looked fresh.

"There are still vegetables in this season?" Liu Zhang said in surprise.

Lu Xiang said, "This is not something from this season. It was specially cultivated by our old professor. It tastes really good!" Then she picked up a persimmon and wanted him to taste it.

Liu Zhang didn't dislike it at all. He picked one up, wiped it simply, and put it in his mouth. The red flesh was sweet and sour, and the inside was actually sandy. It was sweet and refreshing and quenched his thirst.

He used to eat it at home with sugar in it, but now it's still so sweet even without sugar. He was surprised and said, "This thing is good."

Fat Liu said, "Of course. Hurry up and pack out the twenty kilograms I want, or someone else will snatch them away!" He was very confident about Lu Xiang buying vegetables.

The director of the women's department wanted to charge 20 cents based on the cost price, but Fatty Liu disagreed and insisted on paying 30 cents.

Lu Xiang had no choice but to give him four more pounds of vegetables at the promotional price. Fatty Liu was quite happy. He packed them up and put them in the car.

When Liu Zhang saw the fat man buying like this, he also bought five pounds of cucumbers and persimmons, and Lu Xiang gave him an extra pound as well.

Liu Zhang felt very comfortable after receiving the gift.

Otherwise how do they make money? They really know how to do business.

It’s really hard to eat such fresh cucumbers and tomatoes in this season, so he plans to give them to his father as a gift.

His dad had finally found out about his last time eating alone. He even scolded him, but he didn't even know who had tipped him off. His dad had way too many spies in the factory.

This time I presented it to his father early to see what he would say.

The bell rang at noon.

The people from the steel factory rushed out and saw the stalls outside. They didn't even bother to rush to the cafeteria to grab food. When they saw that it was Lu Xiang and Liu Pang, they immediately got excited and hurried over.

But when I got closer, they said, "Where's the rice for your dishes?" I thought they were selling braised meat again.

I found out that they sell vegetables here.

Lu Xiang said, "We'll be selling vegetables from now on. Would you like some?"

The first ones to rush over were all repeat customers of Lu Xiang's braised meat. They didn't see Lu Xiang on weekdays, so this time they urged her hard: "Please come back a few more times. I'm craving that taste."

The women's director was watching in surprise. It was well-known in the village that Lu Xiang cooked delicious food, but she didn't expect that the people at the steel plant also thought so.

It was lunchtime over there, but this side was crowded with people. It was obvious that Lu Xiang didn't sell braised meat, so these people left disappointedly.

So many people came and went in a hurry, but no one bought anything.
