On this side, Wang Yanmei received another call from her third aunt.
"Yanmei, those families praised your dishes highly and said they wanted to buy more vegetables later. They asked me for your contact information at the price of 200 yuan per kilogram, saying it would be convenient for them to buy vegetables this way."
Wang Yanmei was shocked. She wanted to buy more? And at 200 yuan per kilo? This was too... extravagant for a rich person.
She was a little surprised for a moment, her heart pounding with excitement, but she was also a little worried.
Those people must be rich people. She has not received much education, cannot type, and can't even speak standard Mandarin. She is afraid that she will be laughed at.
She said in embarrassment: "Third Aunt, you know I am illiterate and can't even recognize all the characters. I will ask Qingzhi for his opinion first."
"Okay, after you've discussed it, give me your contact information and I'll give it to them when the time comes." The third aunt said with a smile, "By the way, that little bok choy is so delicious, and so is the cucumber. My grandson said it's a hundred times more delicious than the last cucumber, hahahaha."
"Auntie San, just eat as long as you like. I'll ask Fuqiang to prepare more Chinese cabbage and cucumbers for you later."
"Okay." The third aunt asked curiously, "Are these vegetables really grown by Qingzhi? How much did you grow? Are they enough for you to eat?"
"It was planted by Qingzhi. Her father said Qingzhi is more capable than him. The family has three or four acres of land, which is well managed. It is definitely enough for her to eat."
You only planted three or four acres of land?
This dish tastes good. These rich people are not the kind who would be stingy with their money. I am sure more and more people will buy it in the future.
The third aunt was afraid that she would not be able to eat such delicious food in the future, so she asked hurriedly: "Is she not going back to the state capital? This dish is delicious, let Qingzhi grow more."
"Three or four acres of land is very big, Aunt San, don't worry, there will definitely be enough vegetables to eat and sell. The child originally wanted to stay at home with us and grow some vegetables for himself to eat comfortably."
"I've always known that Qingzhi is a filial child. Well, now I can make some money by growing vegetables, which is no worse than working outside."
"Then I have to thank Third Aunt."
"That's not true. The vegetables you grow are delicious. Fine, I'm going to go out and play mahjong. I'll wait for you to discuss the contact information with Qingzhi."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fuqiang came out of the ward and asked, "Why did you take so long to call? Who is it?"
"It's my third aunt. She said that the families who bought vegetables before want to buy some more. She just wants her contact information so that it will be convenient to contact her later to buy vegetables. You and I are both uneducated and can't recognize all the words. Qingzhi should do this. These are the vegetables she grows, and she can keep the money herself so that she can have confidence when she gets married in the future."
"Then talk to Qingzhi tonight. She just left."
After Xu Qingzhi came out of the hospital, he called the landlord to discuss the matter of moving out in a few days.
Because the doctor observed for a few days and confirmed that my grandfather would be discharged from the hospital in a few days, there was no need to rent a house in the county town.
Afterwards, she passed by a car dealership.
Since you are coming back to retire, how can you not have a car?
She had thought about buying a car before, after all, it would be convenient to go anywhere with a car.
As for her driver's license, she had already passed it when she was in college and is one of those people who has a license.
Xu Qingzhi walked in, took a look, and asked for the white car that looked pleasing to the eye.
The total price of the car is about 500,000 yuan, including taxes and so on, it is almost 570,000 yuan.
Xu Qingzhi paid the full amount, completed all the car purchase procedures, and drove back directly.
When they got home, Xu Fuqiang was playing Landlord on the sofa while Wang Yanmei prepared dinner and brought out the dishes.
Wang Yanmei wiped her hands and shouted, "It's time to eat."
I will be back home in a few days, so I don't have any more food in the refrigerator. I'll have a simple meal tonight, with three dishes: a plate of stir-fried cucumbers, a plate of Chinese cabbage, and beer duck.
The beer-braised duck is soft, delicious and particularly fragrant.
While eating, Wang Yanmei mentioned the call from her third aunt in the morning.
"Qingzhi, your father and I can't read a single word, but you are different. You are well-educated, have acted in plays, and have seen many big events. It won't be difficult for you to communicate with those rich people."
"Okay, then give me my WeChat." She agreed, thinking about going back to buy a Xinhua Dictionary. "Mom and Dad, I'll buy a dictionary tomorrow and teach you two how to read when I get home."
Xu Qingzhi thought about it but couldn't find a good excuse to refute. After all, big principles and morals would never work with his parents.
So, she used a trick: "I won't sell the vegetables, just keep them for yourself."
"Okay, okay, I'll learn it." Xu Fuqiang quickly changed his tone.
Wang Yanmei wanted to learn, but her family didn't allow her to go to school because of poor conditions. Being illiterate brings many inconveniences in real life, so since her daughter is willing to teach, she is of course willing to learn.
After dinner, Wang Yanmei forwarded Qingzhi’s WeChat message to her third aunt.
My third aunt forwarded the WeChat message to the families who wanted to buy vegetables.
When Xu Qingzhi opened WeChat, his phone froze for two seconds.
On the screen, I saw small red dots on the right side of rows of contacts with numbers on them.
There are even a few showing 99+.
She ignored the news at first, there were too many of them.
Soon, there were new friends on the phone, six or seven in total.
Xu Qingzhi agreed one by one, and as soon as she added the friends, someone started sending her messages.
"Boss, your tomatoes and cucumbers are so delicious, our whole family loves them. My grandson used to chase me to feed him every time he ate, but now he only eats your food, and he eats very well."
Xu Qingzhi glanced at the profile picture, which was a lotus flower with the nickname "Lifelong Peace". In addition, the other party had a grandson, so he must be quite old, so he replied respectfully: "Thank you for your affirmation."
"I heard that you have other vegetables like Chinese cabbage and lettuce. Can you pick some for me this time? Together with cucumbers and tomatoes, I want 30 kilograms in total."
"Thirty kilograms is a bit much. Vegetables will spoil easily if left for too long, and the taste will also deteriorate. Are you sure you want this much?"
Xu Qingzhi knew that the longer the food was kept without spiritual energy, the weaker the spiritual energy would be, and the taste and efficacy would also be relatively weakened. She didn't need to deceive people, so she made it clear to the other party.
When she was in the world of immortal cultivation, in addition to being particularly devoted to cultivation, she also planted and sold vegetables on weekdays. When she had nothing to do, she went fishing in the West Sea and watched the moon at the top of the sky at night. This was her happiest time.
So selling vegetables is not a chore for her. On the contrary, it adds some fun to her life.
Seeing Xu Qingzhi say this, 'Lifelong Peace' asked, "Boss, how many kilograms do you think is appropriate to buy?"
"At most ten kilograms, enough to eat for a few days." Xu Qingzhi said.
Lifelong Peace: "Boss, if we finish eating, can we buy more next time? Do you have enough vegetables? I heard from your relatives that you grow them for your own consumption, not for sale. I'm just worried that I won't buy enough and won't have anything to eat next time."
"If you want to buy it, you can buy it next time, but I can't guarantee it for the future." Xu Qingzhi would not make promises easily.
Soon, other people also sent her messages.
"Boss, I want to buy some vegetables. I want 20 kilograms this time. Do you have any other vegetables besides tomatoes and cucumbers?"
"Boss, I love your food so much, it's so fresh and delicious."
"Boss, two hundred yuan a pound is a bit expensive, can you make it cheaper? I was recommended by someone else."
"Boss, are there any other dishes? I want to try them too."
…
Looking at a bunch of messages, many of them are repetitive questions.
Xu Qingzhi simply gathered the seven people into a WeChat group and named it the "Vegetable Selling Group".
I sorted out some language and unified the replies.
"The vegetables that are ripe and ready to be picked include tomatoes, cucumbers, Chinese cabbage, and lettuce. They are all grown naturally without fertilizers or pesticides. They are 200 yuan per pound. We do not accept bargaining. It is recommended that you buy no more than 10 pounds at a time. They will be picked and shipped immediately and will arrive the next day."
