Chapter 154 Not planning to do business with us?
Gan Su also looked at her curiously.
"why is that?"
"Silly! Mom is silly! And brother is even sillier!" Little Zhizhi raised her fluffy head, the little bow in her hair swaying back and forth. "Who in the military dependents' compound doesn't know what everyone's situation is? We're all starting from the same point. It's best if everyone's situation is similar so there won't be any conflicts. If we expand our business, we'll inevitably attract jealousy."
Moreover, when supplying restaurants, it involves providing hundreds of kilograms at a time.
If you're not careful, your neighbors will notice. Nobody's stupid. Even if your small vegetable garden in a military dependents' compound has a high yield, you can't possibly grow hundreds of kilograms of vegetables.
Once someone discovers the clues, wouldn't the secret of that space be exposed?
But steamed bun shops wouldn't do that. Because if there are cabbages piled up in the yard, they would say they were stored up for the winter and sell some to the old man selling steamed buns at the door, so that no one would suspect anything.
This will also prevent some military family members who like to take advantage from coming to pick vegetables.
After all, Mom said that after spring, she wants to cultivate another piece of wasteland in the backyard to plant some new experimental vegetables.
There will definitely be neighbors coming over to borrow vegetables.
Let's reduce the risk.
Listening to her daughter's analysis, Deng Qiu felt a surge of pride and couldn't help but sigh.
“My baby Zhizhi is so smart. I used to wonder how Sang Lao Er, who is so morally corrupt, could have given birth to a child. Now I finally understand... Zhizhi, whose brain did you get from?
He's brave, resourceful, has a knack for business, and can fight and even swear.
Most importantly... ...that little mouth of hers pops and crackles like a little firecracker.
It's hard not to think of a woman who wields a hammer...
The first person that popped into Deng Qiu's mind was Ji Yining.
She used to think that Zhizhi didn't look like Sang Lao Er at all, and that she hadn't inherited Sang Lao Er's bad genes.
So she was very curious about what kind of person Zhizhi's biological mother was.
After learning that Ji Yining was her daughter's aunt, she suddenly realized that the child belonged to the Ji family.
Although she had never seen what the eldest son of the Ji family looked like, she could tell from Ji Yanjing's personality and appearance that he was strong-willed and protective of his own.
And then there's that generous aunt who deals in scrap metal in Northeast China, who throws a bag of money into the yard with every move.
Looking at it now, Zhizhi is quite like her aunt!
Zhizhi pouted, looking as smug as a little kitten. "I'm just like my mom. Go out and ask around, and everyone who sees me will praise how well my mom raised me. I look exactly like my mom!"
"Alright, alright! Miss Zhizhi, shall we set up our stall now? Let everyone who comes to buy vegetables see how beautiful and adorable our Zhizhi is!"
"Set off!"
... ...
Market Street
"Chinese cabbage, bok choy, water spinach, romaine lettuce! We sell everything, come and buy them all!"
"Free-range eggs, local eggs, small persimmons, big apples, and fresh, plump strawberries!"
Zhizhi carried a small stool and started fiddling with the abacus, calculating the accounts.
Gan Su then acted as a loudspeaker, enthusiastically inviting uncles and aunts to come and buy their vegetables.
Ever since Zhizhi opened a vegetable stall in the black market, many people have been wondering why they haven't set up their stall yet.
As soon as the stall was set up, it was surrounded by a huge crowd, and within about two hours, most of the vegetables on the stall had been bought.
The aunt who came to buy strawberries at the end couldn't stop smiling. "My daughter-in-law has been having morning sickness these past few days and has been craving these big strawberries. I've been to several stores but haven't been able to buy any. Zhizhi, you have to come to set up your stall every day from now on. The cabbages you sold last time were so delicious, so sweet!"
"Thank you for your patronage, Auntie. Here's a small loquat for you!"
Without even looking up, Zhizhi grabbed the bright orange loquats and stuffed them into the aunt's hand. Then, after calculating the price, she quickly gave her change.
There was only half a bowl of strawberries left on the stall, and it looked like there were less than ten left.
Huh? Does morning sickness mean pregnancy?
Do pregnant women all like to eat strawberries? Well...
Zhizhi simply pulled the strawberries to her side and stopped selling them.
She decided to bring it to Aunt Cuiping later!
Gan Su was confused. "Aren't strawberries the best-selling item? You're not going to sell these left?"
"Aunt Cuiping is pregnant with twins, it must be so hard for her, let her eat this, I'll buy her a candied hawthorn later!"
"Huh?" Deng Qiu turned around abruptly, looking at Zhi Zhi with surprise, "Cui Ping is really pregnant? You figured it out?"
Zhizhi nodded, then asked with a bewildered look, "Mom, didn't you see? It's so obvious!"
Deng Qiu: "... ..."
Sorry, she doesn't have Zhizhi's sharp eyes; she really didn't notice.
Zhizhi could not only tell that Xuetong was pregnant, but also that Cuiping was having twins.
That gaze is as sharp as a hospital machine!
Gan Su was busy running around, hardly letting his mother and sister do any of the physical work of setting and serving the dishes. He worked up a sweat, but the smile on his face never faded.
"Our business is booming, we're almost sold out!"
This was his first time earning money, and he never expected it to be such a happy experience.
He needs to come out more often in the future; he wants to make a lot of money!
Let Mom, my sister, and my brother all live a good life!
Deng Qiu nodded, glancing at the vegetables laid out on the ground. "There's only a little left. It's still early. Let's see if we can sell them. If not, we'll give them to the uncles and aunties nearby. They've already saved us a spot."
Just then, a few men in black Zhongshan suits walked over to the stall.
"What do you sell here?"
Gan Su looked up and frowned almost imperceptibly. His intuition told him that these people didn't seem to be there simply to buy groceries.
He cautiously said, "We're leaving now, we're not selling anymore."
As he spoke, he squatted down and quickly began packing his things.
But just as his hand touched his cabbage, one of the men suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Gan Su subconsciously looked up and met the other person's piercing gaze. "You haven't sold all your vegetables yet, why are you stopping? Or are you not planning to do business with us now that you see us here?"
