You don't need to make tea anymore, it's ready-made here.

I need to talk to Uncle Zhou about something. You go about your business and don't need to take care of us.

Yu Chengyuan nodded and agreed.

They're just being polite. It's never wrong to be too polite; who would actually complain about having too many gifts?

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go do my thing."

Hao Qiumei knew they were going to talk about serious matters, so she tactfully walked away.

Next, Yu Chengyuan and the village chief got down to business, and Zhou Jianguo's lips never left his mouth when he heard that.

"A year's supply, and we need that much every day, that's wonderful!"

Chengyuan, thank you so much, Auntie.

Uncle thanks you on behalf of the villagers.

You're such a lucky star!

Village chief Zhou Jianguo was extremely excited.

This is great news.

Not only can they earn money themselves, but they can also help a small group of people live a comfortable life with plenty of food and clothing.

He, as the village chief, should also be commended.

"Anyway, cucumbers, eggplants, cabbages, green beans, and pumpkins are all bought for one cent per pound."

Tomatoes cost 15 cents a pound.

Green chili peppers cost one mao (0.1 yuan), and red chili peppers cost one mao and fifty cents per

Eggs cost 1 yuan per pound.

This price will remain the same throughout the week.

The quality must be guaranteed to be fresh, including the eggs; there can't be any rotten or bad eggs among them.

"Don't worry about that, it's a certainty, I will definitely supervise it properly."

Zhou Jianguo made a guarantee.

"First, find a few reliable and trustworthy villagers and select a few whose families grow this crop extensively."

Alternatively, you can ask your aunt to order a variety of vegetables; any of these will be fine, since you'll need them for the whole year anyway.

Yu Chengyuan reminded him again.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to your aunt about it later."

"Then I'll go back first. You can take a count first, how many households are there, preferably those who grow vegetables beautifully."

After finishing his business, Yu Chengyuan got up to take his leave.

"Alright, Chengyuan, you go back and get busy. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

The village chief was so happy his mustache practically stood on end.

Just as Yu Chengyuan left the village chief's yard, he heard the village chief shout loudly, "Qiu Mei, good news, great news!"
