The old man looked somewhat embarrassed, and his lips trembled slightly, "Hua'er, I heard from Chunniu's mother that your spicy hot pot is selling very well in Qingshui County. People of all ages love it, and everyone is scrambling to eat it. The line stretches from the east side of the county town all the way to the west side and still hasn't reached the end..."
Seeing that he couldn't get to the point for a long time, the villagers who had followed him over immediately took over the conversation.
"Hua-ya, we wanted to ask, since a lot of vegetables are cooked in mala tang, the aunties can definitely provide those vegetables!"
"That's right, we're all seasoned vegetable growers who've been growing vegetables for decades. The vegetables we grow are definitely no worse than those grown by the Zhou family's wives!"
“We’re all from the same village, there’s no reason why Huaya should only want the Zhou family, Niqiu, Damai, and the village chief, right…”
Su Hua's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
Widow Liu got off the oxcart this morning and disappeared without a trace, saying she went to buy some mutton to cook. Little did we know she had been secretly observing us all along, and upon her return, she even gave us a piece of her mind.
This stunt is exactly the same as when the original flavored snails were first launched.
The flavorful snail dish can mimic a spicy stir-fried snail dish.
She couldn't help but be a little curious about what kind of innovation Widow Liu would come up with this time.
However, Widow Liu's actions saved her from having to say anything more.
They now need about 50 to 60 catties of vegetables a day for their mala tang (spicy hot pot), and the vegetable gardens of Aunt Zhou, Mudfish Girl, Barley Girl, and Old Village Chief Su Chengde are barely enough to supply them.
However, this is only the second day since the business opened. Qingshui County is such a big town, and there are still many people who don't even know about Su Ji Mala Tang.
In another two or three days, the reputation of this spicy hot pot will spread even further, and many potential customers will be discovered one by one. At that time, fifty or sixty catties of vegetables a day will definitely not be enough.
Seeing that she hesitated to speak, the villagers assumed she was unwilling and added, "Nowadays every household has vegetables in their fields. We work ourselves to death carrying them to Cangwu Town, but we can't sell more than a few kilograms. If you're willing to buy them, we'll pay you two kilograms for just one copper coin!"
Upon hearing this, the people around nodded in agreement, "Yes, as long as Hua agrees to accept it, the price is not a problem at all. Let alone two catties for one copper coin, even three catties for one copper coin would be fine..."
Seeing that the villagers were pushing the price down more and more aggressively, Su Hua quickly spoke up to stop them.
"The purchase price for vegetables will remain unchanged at one copper coin per pound! As for the specific purchase method, we will inform everyone separately in a few days!"
She's not Su the Skinflint!
Farmers' lives are already difficult; they rely on the rice and vegetable fields to earn a meager living all year round. Now that she has the ability to lend a helping hand, she certainly won't be stingy.
The villagers were stunned by the girl's cool and aloof words, but their eyes lit up when they realized what she meant.
"Hua girl, are you serious? You really going to take our vegetables?"
"Am I dreaming... Ouch, that hurts! What are you doing?"
"Aren't you afraid it's a dream? If I pinch you, it'll hurt. If you say it's a dream, then it's a dream..."
Su Hua couldn't help but chuckle. After nodding, she straightened her face and raised her voice a few decibels, "But let me make this clear: only the best and freshest vegetables will be delivered. If any of them are found to be bad, they will never be used again!"
Before she could finish speaking, the villagers thumped their chests loudly.
"Hua'er, don't worry, if anyone dares to send spoiled vegetables, your Third Uncle will be the first to object!"
"That's right! Hua'er, you can rest assured, Auntie will definitely only give you the tenderest vegetables!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We can't do anything so heartless..."
