Chapter 286 Eat Something Fresh



Xu Fuqiang was worried when he answered the phone, and even more nervous when he heard that the other party wanted to send tea. Thinking of the mooncake incident a few days ago, the third aunt called several times for this, but was politely rejected by his wife because she was too busy.

He and Yanmei also listened to what Qingzhi said at that time.

That is indeed the case. It is one thing for relatives to do favors for you, but you cannot just agree to everything they say.

The mooncakes don’t have a license and cannot be sold.

Making money is one thing, but breaking the law is absolutely not allowed.

Not doing anything illegal or disorderly is what Xu Dongru has been taught since he was a child, and it is an understanding ingrained in the Xu family.

The older generation in the countryside has lived in the village all their lives. The farthest place they have been to is probably to visit distant relatives for a drink. They seldom even go to the county town. They don’t have any big ambitions, such as setting a small goal to earn 100 million yuan.

They simply feel that they don’t ask their younger generations to make great contributions to society, but they must not mess around.

This is also the reason why Xu Fuqiang and Wang Yanmei finally reached a consensus and decided not to make or sell mooncakes.

At this time, Xu Fuqiang still had a smile on his face and said tactfully: "Third Aunt, no need, you can keep the good tea for yourselves."

"Yes, yes. Apart from anything else, Qingzhi sent more vegetables every time she came before, and also sent a hen to nourish Xueer. I remember it in my heart." The third aunt talked slowly, and then said: "I asked Zhiming to send the tea to you this afternoon. I still use the same address and phone number as the last time I sent the roast duck."

"Third aunt, it's really not necessary. Don't be polite. We are all relatives. Sending you some food is a way of showing filial piety." Seeing that she was being polite, Xu Fuqiang also became polite in his tone.

When getting along with relatives, polite words should always be spoken beautifully so that people feel comfortable listening to them.

When the third aunt heard this, she swallowed her saliva and said bluntly, "Fuqiang, I won't be polite with you. This online mall hasn't had vegetables for a long time. Can I buy some vegetables from you? I called Yanmei, and she said she didn't know the situation of the vegetables in the field. She said you go to the fields every day, so you know more about the vegetables, so I called to ask."

Xu Fuqiang's mouth was still open. He was stunned for a moment, and he hesitantly said "ah", then scratched the back of his head and said, "Okay, Third Aunt, I'll ask Qingzhi to send you some vegetables. But many vegetables are gone, but there are still some pakchoy. I'll ask Qingzhi to send you whatever is in the other fields."

"Okay, then you send me 30 kilograms, still to the old address. You know, I will transfer the money to Yanmei as soon as I hang up the phone." The third aunt said happily.

"Wait..." Xu Fuqiang spoke hastily, took a breath, and said in shock: "Thirty kilograms?"

"Yes, it's been a while since the mall has served these dishes. Many of my poker friends are also missing these dishes. I'll buy some and share them with them." said the third aunt.

Xu Fuqiang frowned slightly, feeling that the other party seemed to have taken a big detour and set a trap, and he successfully fell into the trap.

"Aunt, no, I can't send these 30 kilograms." Xu Fuqiang said in embarrassment, "The vegetables in the field were stolen before, you know. Now my family only grows some vegetables for our own consumption in the vegetable field in front of the house, so I can't send so much."

Of course there are vegetables in the fields, but if they are all sent out, what will we eat at home?

The third aunt asked in a gentle voice, "Fuqiang, how many kilograms do you think you can sell at most? I will pay you and I won't take advantage of you, don't worry."

"There are still two or three kilograms." Xu Fuqiang thought that it wouldn't affect anything if he just picked a few kilograms from his home vegetable garden and sent them over.

"How can two or three kilograms be enough? Fuqiang, hey, I won't hide it from you. Many of Zhiming's partners like your dishes. I haven't eaten them for a long time, so I was wondering if there is a channel to get your dishes. I thought of buying some and asking Zhiming to deliver it to me to ask for a favor." The third aunt said frankly.

Xu Fuqiang's honest brows furrowed even more tightly.

Obviously it’s a good thing that the vegetables at home are popular, but why is it a bit difficult now? I’m so worried...

"Qingzhi, come and talk to your third aunt."

The next second, the phone, which was a little hot from the call, was put into Xu Qingzhi's hand.

Xu Qingzhi smiled helplessly, raised the phone to his ear, and called out, "Third Aunt."

The third aunt smiled and said, "Hey, Qingzhi, let me tell you, this is what happened..."

Then the third aunt explained again why she wanted to send tea, buy vegetables and the reasons for buying vegetables. Her attitude was very frank.

In fact, my third aunt didn’t have bad intentions, but after they became so close, the sense of propriety between relatives was lost.

It seems a little difficult for ordinary people to understand, but it is not difficult to understand.

For example, in some families with two daughters, the parents not only do not spoil their own daughters, but instead place all their hopes on the sons of their brother and sister-in-law. They are very good to other people's biological sons and treat their own biological daughters unfairly.

Outrageous? Outrageous.

Do you understand? No.

That's right, but this is what happens in reality. Do you think reality is reasonable? So the third aunt may now regard her home as her own home. Since it's her own home, she won't be polite when making requests. Going around in circles is considered politeness.

Xu Qingzhi's tone was always gentle and calm. She said, "Third aunt, it's like this. I'll give you first-hand information. In less than half a month, the vegetables in the field can be harvested. There are corn, pea tips, spinach, celery, etc. There are quite a lot of vegetables, and they are new vegetables that have never been served. Don't worry, tell them not to worry either. Tell them to come buy the new vegetables and eat something fresh."

Third Aunt: "Really? Oh, Zhiming loves to eat pea tips. When they are available, I will definitely buy them. Qingzhi, if I can't get them by then, you have to save some for me."

"Okay, no problem, Third Aunt, we have grown a lot of vegetables this time. If you can't grab some, just let me know when the time comes." Xu Qingzhi said politely, and then looked very busy: "Third Aunt, take care of yourself, bye."

After hanging up the phone, the third aunt held the phone and happily went to tell a few card-playing friends and sisters about the new dishes, and then told Zhiming.

Zhang Zhiming: "Did Qingzhi say to send some food over?"

Third Aunt: ...

"Oh, the vegetables at Qingzhi's house were stolen before. From what I heard from Fuqiang, there really is no vegetables to send. Let's eat new vegetables later. I'm tired of eating those old cabbages."

This vegetable costs 200 yuan per pound. It is better to save the money to buy new vegetables. You can use corn to stew pork ribs soup for your grandson. The tender pea tips are delicious in soup or stir-fried. Celery is great for stir-frying into dried tofu.

Xu Fuqiang looked at his daughter and felt relieved as he realized how easily she had solved this difficult problem.

Xu Fuqiang's cell phone is an old-fashioned one, and the call volume is very loud. Even Xu Zijun who was standing next to him could hear what the third aunt said.

He secretly sighed in his heart: The vegetables his sister grows are really amazing.
