Chapter 305: Prices are negotiable
Especially things called broccoli and snow peas, Zhou Ergu had never even heard of them.
Shang Ruoting also said that these two kinds of vegetables were particularly delicious, especially the way they were cooked, which she described vividly.
Aunt Zhou Er is now eager for these two vegetables to mature immediately so she can buy some back for her family to enjoy. The price doesn't matter...
"Ruoting, when your vegetables are ripe, you can send them to the South Street grocery store..."
Shang Ruoting looked at Zhou Ergu, who looked like she had discovered a treasure, and said with a smile, "Director Zhou, you've noticed that the vegetables grown in this greenhouse are quite mixed, and there aren't many of each type. If we were to sell them in large quantities, I'm afraid it wouldn't work."
Although Zhou Ergu was excited, she didn't overdo it. She also realized that the quantity of these vegetables was not large.
She just wanted to add some fresh goods to Nanjie Grocery Store to improve its reputation.
"It doesn't matter. Scarcity makes things valuable. No matter how many ripe vegetables you have, just send them to the South Street Food Hall."
Even if each type only weighs a few dozen kilograms, she would be very satisfied.
Seeing Zhou Ergu's sincerity, Shang Ruoting nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll send it to you when the vegetables are ripe."
"Okay, okay, especially the snow peas and broccoli you mentioned, the prices are negotiable."
Zhou Ergu had a great time in the greenhouse. When she walked out with Shang Ruoting, all the oyster mushrooms had been loaded into the car.
It was noon at this time, and Shang Ruoting invited everyone to go back for lunch.
Old Mrs. Shang knew that Zhou Ergu was a big customer for purchasing oyster mushrooms, so she naturally would not neglect her. The lunch was undoubtedly sumptuous, and Zhou Ergu and the Jiefang truck driver were extremely satisfied with the meal.
Seeing that Tan Chen had almost finished his meal, Zhou Ergu asked, "Tan Chen, I heard that you designed your house and furniture yourself. I really like this style. Do you have time to help me build a house like this?"
"Of course, we can negotiate the wages."
When Tan Chen heard that he was asked to build a house, he was stunned at first, and then he looked at Shang Ruoting.
Shang Ruoting smiled back. Given the level of tacit understanding between the two, Tan Chen certainly understood what she meant.
In fact, he personally likes designing these things very much, and he would like it even more if he could actually put them into practice.
If he wasn't busy with so many things at home, he would really be willing to help Zhou Ergu.
Since Zhou Ergu has spoken, Tan Chen naturally has to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
"Director Zhou, do you think this will work?"
"I can help you with the design drawings, and I can also take the time to go to the site for guidance. However, you know the situation at home, so I can't be out all day."
"When my family built the house, the villagers helped us. Many of them are bricklayers, and they are also familiar with the house construction method I designed. If you trust me, you can hire them to do it."
Tan Chen made this proposal after careful consideration.
First of all, the busy farming season has passed and the villagers have little income. If they can go to the city to help people build houses, they can earn more.
Secondly, his family's oyster mushroom business is now open to the public, and he believes that the income will soon be visible. Instead of letting those people be envious and jealous, it is better to increase some additional income besides farming, so that they can feel a little balanced.
"Okay, okay, that's no problem. As long as we can build a house like yours, it's fine."
If Zhou Ergu didn't like the house designed by Tan Chen so much, she wouldn't have made this request knowing that he was busy. Now that she sees that Tan Chen is willing to help with the design and is willing to take the time to give guidance, and even helps find workers, she is already very satisfied.
So, the two reached an agreement at the dinner table. After Tan Chen finished his busy work for the past two days, he would go to Zhuang City to find Zhou Ergu, first to see the place where her family was building the house, and then come back to draw the blueprints.
At that time, Zhou Ergu prepared the materials according to his requirements. After everything was ready, he brought those people in the village who knew how to build houses to help.
Zhou Ergu's trip to Sihe Village was very fruitful. Not only did she secure many rare sources of goods for Nanjie Non-staple Food, but she also solved the problem of building her own house.
Before she left, she paid Shang Ruoting the payment for 10,800 kilograms of goods today.
Old Lady Shang witnessed firsthand the earning power of her granddaughter and grandson-in-law. They could actually earn so much all at once...
After seeing Zhou Ergu off, the family continued to prepare mushroom bags. The plastic greenhouse of Yangmei's family was also repaired. In the evening, she brought her younger brothers and sisters to help.
After everyone's joint efforts, the second batch of mushroom bags are finally ready and are waiting to be delivered to the greenhouse tomorrow.
