Chapter 221: Selling Vegetables

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Who wouldn’t want to eat something delicious during the Chinese New Year?

The people in the village may be too poor, so not many people would buy vegetables even if they were available.

After all, it’s winter and the Chinese New Year is approaching, so vegetables are very expensive, three times more expensive than vegetables in normal seasons. This time they are three cents more expensive than three times.

But even so, when the vegetables were pulled to the housing estates of the textile and steel mills, a large number of people still crowded over like zombies.

"Give me five pounds of tomatoes and five pounds of eggplants..."

"Oh, it's really fresh. I want seven pounds of eggplant and eight pounds of lettuce..."

"Why is the price so high? Can it be cheaper?"

The team leader also shouted at the top of his voice: "It's not cheap. In order to grow these vegetables, our team has built a shed specifically for them. The whole team has taken good care of them. This winter, our Ping'an team will grow them. We will send them to the steel plant later. We can only give away half of this truckload."

After hearing this, the place became even more crowded.

"I want ten kilograms!!!"

The scene was very lively for a while. Song Wei was also helping to weigh the goods and keeping an eye on all directions. If he saw anyone trying to take advantage of the chaos, he would slap him.

"Just tell us what you want, and we'll get it for you."

He said this with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of greed.

The old lady didn't secretly curl her lips, showing no shame at all. Instead, she glared at Song Wei, thinking that she was meddling in other people's business.

"Give me three pounds of green peppers, and remove the outer leaves of the green vegetables."

"There are no yellow leaves, so I don't have time to help you pick them."

"Hey little girl, can you do the job?"

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. Don't bother turning around and leaving. The yellow outer layer of these vegetables that can't be eaten has already been skimmed off."

The old woman wanted to make a scene, so Song Wei asked the person behind her directly: "Brother, how much do you want? I'll weigh it for you."

The eldest brother excitedly squeezed in, and with his big butt he pushed aside the hesitant eldest sister.

"Give me three pounds of tomatoes, five pounds of eggplants, four pounds of cucumbers, and lettuce..."

Song Wei weighed the food quickly and collected the money: "Brother, take care. I'll be next."

Seeing that half of the vegetables in the tractor had been sold, the team leader took a loud speaker and started shouting: "There are less than 50 kilograms of vegetables left. We have to leave after we sell them all."

Those who hadn't bought anything yet suddenly became anxious: "Aren't there still a lot of things in the car?"

"These are reserved for the steel plant's family compound."

This is a benefit that the two factories have strived for the families of their employees, but the family members still have to pay for the vegetables themselves.

As for why they didn't just buy it and distribute it to the employees, they already gave away rice and oil during the Chinese New Year, and now they're giving away vegetables? And these are really expensive vegetables, they gave them the benefits they deserved, but they're not just taking advantage of them.

The factory director, deputy director and several school leaders have ordered a lot of vegetables, so they will definitely have a good year. The team leader kept some for them and also gave them a bunch of green vegetables.

The captain left the enthusiastic crowd with difficulty, wiping the sweat from his forehead and went to the steel plant.

However, on the way there, he was stopped by purchasing agents from two major factory managers in the city.

"You are from the Ping An Brigade, right?"

A woman and a man, their eyes lit up when they saw the remaining vegetables in the tractor's bucket, but the next second they looked at each other with a look of vigilance in their eyes.

"Director Liu, you are well-informed."

"Haha, I'm not as good as you, Director Li."

The two exchanged some sarcastic remarks, and then the woman, Director Liu, said to the people from the Ping An Brigade: "I am in the daily necessities processing business."

Director Li, the man, also quickly said, "I'm from the paper mill."

"Captain, can you please take the remaining half truckload of vegetables to the staff quarters of our factory?"

The latter sentence was said almost in unison.

Seeing that the two men seemed to be about to fight in the next second, the captain quickly said: "This half of the truck is to be sent to the steel plant. It has been discussed long ago and it must go there."

Director Liu was unwilling to give up: "Can't you just distribute some of it?"

The captain was a little helpless. It seemed that selling products too well would cause some trouble.

"This is not enough to go around. Even if you give some to the staff quarters at your factory, there won't be enough."

"But we can bring some more tomorrow. We should bring more tomorrow, and we can take them to your family building."

Hearing this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Director Liu: "Then please bring more people to our side. We have more people there."

Director Li quickly said, "Director Liu, your words are biased. We have a lot of people on our side as well."

The two purchasing department directors were finally appeased, but as soon as their car arrived at the steel plant, it was surrounded.

Looking at the food in the car, I felt like there wasn’t enough to share.

Some people buy dozens or even twenty kilograms of goods as if they were stockpiling.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Many of them actually ask their relatives to help buy the goods after they find out about it.

But it's really not enough.

Lin Zhen: "Each person can only buy 5 kilograms. If there is no more, others must also take some."

The team leader nodded repeatedly. There was nothing he could do to disagree as this was all the vegetables they picked today.

The team leader was busy selling vegetables when he was suddenly called aside by the deputy director of the steel plant.

He looked at the captain stealthily with a 'you're not a brother enough' look.

"Brother Lei, I heard that you will bring some vegetables tomorrow, and you have promised to send them to the daily necessities processing factory and the paper mill?"

Captain: …………

No, does news spread so quickly in your city?

"You're being rude. Since there's still some left tomorrow, just keep sending them to us. Look at how enthusiastic everyone is. There are still many people who want to buy them."

Lin Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed.

"Tomorrow, we will probably be able to pick two truckloads."

I originally came here to give it a try today. Some of the vegetables in the shed could be picked but were still growing longer, so I didn't pick them. After all, compared to the last time when there were only green vegetables, there were a lot more varieties and quantities this time, and he was a little unsure if he could sell them all.

But this happened to be the time for the Chinese New Year, so there was no need to worry about sales, the only problem was not enough to sell.

"Then bring a truck here tomorrow."

Since the factory doesn't have to spend any money, we will try our best to meet the demands of employees and their families.

He himself also wanted to buy more.

In this weather, whether you buy something as a gift to your father-in-law, relatives or boss, it will not make you look materialistic and will please others. Why not do it?

The captain nodded bitterly: "I will try to send half a truck tomorrow."

The deputy factory director was satisfied that he could keep half of the car. He patted the captain's arm and handed him a cigarette.

"Brother Lei, do you remember that?"

After saying that, he went to take the part he had ordered long ago and left.

Soon, the last bit of vegetables were sold out.

The captain quickly said to the crowd that was still pushing forward, "Come back tomorrow. Comrades who haven't bought anything can come back tomorrow."

When they heard that they would come again tomorrow, everyone's eyes lit up.
