When the two brothers got home, the clock had already struck four in the afternoon.

Both of them were hot and thirsty, and without saying a word, they each drank two bowls of tea, which barely relieved their burning thirst.

Yu Chengyuan took out the lists and carefully scanned the contents.

Hospital canteens, school canteens, and textile factory canteens each require several hundred kilograms of vegetables, totaling nearly a thousand kilograms.

He secretly thought to himself that the village probably couldn't possibly supply such a large quantity of vegetables.

So he made a decision in secret, but he needed to discuss it with his family first.

Yu Pingan glanced at the menu, his brows furrowing involuntarily. He said, "Chengyuan, we're afraid our village can't afford all these dishes."

Providing for a day or two might be fine, but supplying daily is probably difficult.

"Yes, I noticed that too."

Brother, how about this!

"From now on, my uncle and his family will collect the menu for the hospital cafeteria from their village."

Yu Chengyuan said earnestly.

My uncle's village is a large village with more than a hundred households and a population of over a thousand.

The villagers live in harmony, have a simple and honest folk custom, and are hardworking and diligent.

"That's a good idea, but shouldn't we ask my uncles about this?"

Yu Pingan felt that although the idea was good, it was still necessary to get the other party's consent.

After all, even though they are relatives, their wishes should be fully respected.

"Of course, brother, go to the back mountain and call our parents back."

I'll talk to them about this.

Yu Chengyuan thought it might be better for his parents to talk to him about this.

"Okay!" Yu Pingan replied, turned around and hurriedly went out, heading towards the back mountain.

Yu Chengyuan then began to carefully examine the quantity and variety on the menu. They were all common, everyday vegetables that most of the villagers grew.

He pondered whether he should discuss with the village chief about getting all the villagers involved, so that everyone could earn some money.

Each family, whether it's 20 jin, 10 jin, or 30 jin, no matter how much, can still earn some income.

After all, it's impossible for every household to harvest that many vegetables every day!

However, in their village of several hundred households, as long as half of them have vegetables available each day, the quantity is roughly sufficient.

This ensures the stability of his supply.

Just as Yu Chengyuan was thinking about this, his elder brother returned with their parents.

Yu Pingan quickly poured a bowl of tea for his parents, carefully placed it in front of them, and said, "Father, Mother, you must be tired! Have some tea and rest."

Yu Sanzhu and his wife picked up their teacups, tilted their heads back, and drank them down in one gulp. Then, they habitually wiped their mouths with the back of their hands.

"Chengyuan, did you call us back because of something urgent?"

"Hurry up and tell me, there's still a little bit of land left on the back hill, I'll finish it soon." Yu Dazhu said anxiously.

"Honey, what's the rush!"

If we can't finish it, we'll do it tomorrow!

The child must have something important to tell us to come back!

Pan Cuilian, who was standing to the side, glanced at her husband and immediately spoke up for her son.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhu fell silent.

That's usually how it is; once his wife starts talking, he stops saying anything more.

Seeing this, the two brothers couldn't help but laugh, but their father glared at them fiercely, and they immediately stopped laughing, though their faces still trembled as they tried to suppress their laughter.

This earned him another eye roll from his father.

Yu Pingan quickly pulled his father to sit down and said with a big laugh, "Dad, please sit down. Chengyuan has good news to announce."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhu's eyes lit up immediately, and he was no longer angry. He immediately asked, "Chengyuan, what good news is it? Tell me quickly."

"Chengyuan, tell me quickly, your mother wants to know too."

Pan Cuilian was also very excited.

During this period, good news kept coming to our family, life was getting better and better, and the situation on my wife's side was also gradually improving.

"Dad, Mom, we've landed another big order."

Once the contract was signed, it became the vegetable supplier for the textile factory's canteen.

It's about the same size as a hospital cafeteria and a school cafeteria.

Yu Chengyuan told his parents with a smile that he just wanted them to be happy too.

"Then your business will only grow bigger and bigger?"

Pan Cuilian was overjoyed that her son was truly giving her a surprise every day.

"Yes, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and our family's daily income from vegetables alone will be quite substantial!"

This doesn't even include the extra income from fish and shrimp!

Yu Chengyuan became more and more excited as he spoke, saying that his daily net income from supplying vegetables to several households was over a hundred yuan.

This doesn't even include fish and crayfish; with those included, his monthly income is no small sum.

"Chengyuan, this order is great, but can our village supply this much every day?"

Yu Dazhu was very happy and proud of his two sons.

The eldest son no longer needs to go down into the coal mine to dig coal, doing such hard and dangerous work.

The younger son pays him a good salary, and the younger son also gives all the money from the fish and shrimp that the older son catches and sells to the older son.

This is at least ten times better than going to work. But as happy as he was, he also calmly offered his own perspective.

If supplies cannot be delivered on time, this business will likely be difficult to sustain.

Furthermore, a contract has been signed, and if there is a breach of contract, there will likely be compensation, which would be difficult to handle.

Although he was just a farmer, he understood this simple principle.

"What Father just said is very true. This is exactly the issue I've been considering. That's why I called you two here to discuss this matter with you."

My uncle's village has a large population, and most of them grow a lot of vegetables.

I was thinking of submitting the orders from the hospital cafeteria to them so they could be responsible for purchasing the food and delivering it to us in the morning.

We'll then deliver it to the county town. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's worth it.

"Mom and Dad, what do you think?"

Yu Chengyuan explained his inner thoughts in detail.
