The next day, as dawn broke in the east, Yu Chengyuan got out of bed.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, quickly washed up, and then left the room.
At this moment, his father, Yu Dazhu, was already busy in the yard.
The morning sun shines into the Yu family's courtyard, outlining the hardworking figures of the father and son.
Before long, the representatives from the companies that had agreed to meet the day before arrived one after another, each with a simple smile on their face and carrying their own vegetables on their shoulders.
When the appointed time arrived, the once quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.
The village chief and his son Zhou Xiaoyu also walked into the courtyard.
Zhou Xiaoyu's sharp eyes swept across the crowd, and he volunteered to take on the task of registration.
"Uncle Dazhu, Brother Chengyuan, let me keep count for you!"
"Okay, thank you, Xiaoyu."
Yu Chengyuan had the same idea and nodded.
This kid is a kind-hearted person. The village chief sent his son here, probably because he wanted Xiaoyu to learn more from him.
He moved a table over, picked up a pen, and prepared to carefully help Yu Chengyuan take notes.
"Xiaoyu, you can't get it wrong, the villagers will be asking for money later."
Zhou Jianguo gave his son some instructions.
"I know, Dad, don't worry."
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded.
Yu Chengyuan was meticulous in checking the dishes.
He carefully examined every bunch of vegetables and every basket of produce, not overlooking any detail.
Just as he had expected, the dishes prepared by Carpenter Li and Zhu Fugui were indeed very fresh.
The lush green leaves were still adorned with glistening dewdrops, as if telling the story of the early morning.
It's obvious that it was freshly picked this morning.
Yu Chengyuan gently stroked the fresh vegetable leaves, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
He knew that these dishes not only contained the hard work of the villagers, but also represented their expectations for the future.
This is all money...
Needless to say, the vegetables from the village chief's house are definitely not bad, and he wouldn't do anything underhanded.
He wouldn't risk his reputation for such a paltry gain.
"Fellow villagers, the vegetables have been inspected and are all in good condition. I hope you will continue to maintain this. Now come up and collect your money, and I will calculate it for you."
Yu Chengyuan sat at the small table, while Zhou Xiaoyu had already gotten up.
Uncle Li: 40 catties of cucumbers, 10 catties of green peppers, and 5 catties of eggs.
Cucumbers cost one cent per pound, so forty pounds would cost four dollars.
Green chili peppers cost 12 cents a pound, or 10 pounds for 1.2 yuan.
Eggs cost one yuan per jin (500g), five jin cost five yuan.
It cost ten dollars and twenty cents in total.
"Isn't that right, Uncle Li?"
Carpenter Li quickly nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, that's right."
"Here's the money. Sign your name here and put your fingerprint on it."
Yu Chengyuan placed the money on the table.
Carpenter Li took the money, quickly thanked him several times, and left.
He felt like he was dreaming.
That made more than ten yuan in one go, that's great!
It's much better than going to work.
"I have something to do at home, so I'll head back now."
After thanking him again, the carpenter Li left.
"The next Zhu Fugui: 50 catties of green beans, 10 catties of red peppers, and 8 catties of eggs."
Green beans cost one cent per pound, so fifty pounds would cost five dollars.
Red chili peppers cost 15 cents, 10 pounds for 1.5 yuan.
Eggs cost one yuan per jin (500g), ten jin cost ten yuan.
It cost sixteen dollars and fifty cents in total.
The money is right, isn't it?
Uncle Zhu, that's right, just take the money, put your fingerprint on it, and sign.
Zhu Fugui received 16 yuan and grinned from ear to ear.
Next up is Wang Erniu:
50 jin of eggplant, 10 jin of eggs, and 10 jin of green peppers.
Eggplant costs one mao (0.1 yuan), fifty jin (25 kg) costs five yuan.
Eggs cost one yuan per pound, or ten yuan.
Green peppers cost 12 cents, 10 jin cost 1.2 yuan, and the total is 16.2 yuan.
Uncle Erniu, I didn't miscalculate, did I?
Wang Erniu nodded with a smile, "That's right!"
"That's right, let's sign and put our fingerprints on it!"
Yu Chengyuan placed the money on the table just like he did.
Wang Erniu and Zhu Fugui took the money and went back to sleep.
He kept praising Yu Chengyuan as they walked, saying that in the past, his family had to go so far to sell their eggs, and they only got the same price.
Now I can sell them for this price without even leaving home, and I can also sell the extra vegetables I have at home.
Cheng Yuan has really done a good thing for the villagers!
I thought the village chief was joking, but it turned out to be true. They even got paid on the same day. Such a good thing happened to them.
Fortunately, I haven't offended the eldest branch of the Yu family, otherwise this God of Wealth would belong to someone else.
"Uncle Zhou, you're the only one left."
You are fifty pounds of tomatoes, twenty pounds of green peppers, ten pounds of red peppers, and ten pounds of eggs.
Tomatoes cost 15 cents a pound, so 50 pounds would cost 7.5 yuan.
Green peppers cost 12 cents a pound, 20 pounds for 2.4 yuan.
Red chili peppers cost 15 cents a pound, or 1.5 yuan for 10 pounds.
Ten pounds of eggs, one yuan per pound, ten pounds for ten yuan.
The total is 21.4 yuan.
Right, Uncle Zhou?
Would you like Xiaoyu to calculate it again?
Yu Chengyuan asked with a smile.
"No need, don't you trust us enough?"
Didn't you say your eldest and second uncles would also send some over?
Why haven't they arrived yet?
Zhou Jianguo shook his head. How could someone possibly get this wrong?
"It should be soon, they're a bit far away."
"Uncle Zhou, Xiaoyu, it's still early, you should go back to sleep."
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
"Don't you need our help?"
Zhou Jianguo asked again.
"No need, thank you Uncle Zhou."
However, these companies probably won't be able to come up with that much tomorrow.
Village chief, once I receive tomorrow's menu today, you can announce it over the loudspeaker in the village committee. Some people can come and register with me first.
Then let them deliver it themselves tomorrow.
This way, we can ensure a continuous supply of goods every day, and everyone can make money.
Yu Chengyuan shook his head. The rest were his two uncles, his own people, and he didn't need help from outsiders.
He said that the reason for these later additions was that it would be impossible to have so many supplies every day relying solely on these few companies.
He didn't think things through yesterday.
"Okay, I'll set up a village committee today and let them sign up themselves."
Zhou Jianguo nodded and went back.
Since he's already done the first job, he won't have to offend the villagers this way.
Everyone has the opportunity to make some money.
The village chief and the others had just left when my eldest uncle, eldest cousin, second uncle, and third cousin arrived.
