Chapter 23: Work! Everyone, work!
Little Brother Ye had no idea what Mother Ye was thinking and continued to eat and drink to his heart's content.
Mother Ye was unhappy and raised her eyebrows: "Don't just sit there, come with us to the mountain to help later." This would save everyone from being so busy while he was the only one staying at home comfortably playing with his phone.
She couldn't bear to see him being idle!
Little Brother Ye sighed and felt dissatisfied when he saw his sister eating breakfast slowly, so he protested.
"Then why doesn't my sister go? I just came back from school and I have homework to do and tests to write. You actually want me to work?"
He has something else to do!
The main reason is that Brother Ye is lazy and doesn’t want to go.
"You're still competing with your sister? Look at how lazy you are. Who will wash the socks and clothes you brought back from school? You're always refusing to do anything when I ask you to do something!"
Mother Ye got angry when she thought about the unwashed clothes Ye Yang brought back yesterday.
Ye Yang felt guilty and quickly begged for mercy: "Mom, the water supply in this school has been cut off. I haven't had time to wash the clothes I just changed, so I took them home."
Ye's mother was too lazy to bother and pointed at him: "I'll give you one day to do your homework tomorrow. If you're lazy, you'll have to pack up and do the work."
Ye Yang didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Zhen laughed at the side. After that, he looked at the many mushrooms at home and was afraid that they would go bad if left for too long, so he directly suggested:
"Mom, do you think we should ask the villagers to help pack it? It's too slow for us to do it alone."
Ye's mother wanted to invite her family members to come: "How about inviting your uncle and his family?"
Hiring people costs money, so it’s better to ask your own family to earn money.
Ye Zhen shook his head in disapproval: "Mom, even though brothers should settle accounts clearly, it's better to find an outsider when it comes to money."
Mother Ye's heart skipped a beat; she really hadn't expected this.
After figuring it out, Ye's mother turned to Ye's father and asked him to hire someone immediately.
There is a large open yard at home, and a row of middle-aged women are helping to pack. Ye Zhen is responsible for checking the orders in the group. Some people who live nearby have already received the goods, and posting pictures in the group has triggered another wave of orders.
Ye Zhen's eyes hurt from staring so much that he tried to use his spiritual energy to clear his eyes from time to time, but this didn't work and was too troublesome.
I glanced at the group chat and saw that a lot of new people had joined.
Ye Zhen plans to find someone to develop an operating mini program, just like a certain grocery shopping app, with new products added every day and mailed directly according to the backend order situation.
She didn't know how to do it, so she found someone online and paid him to outsource it. She asked for extra money for expedited work, and the other party promised to give it to her as soon as possible.
We will have to stay busy for a while.
There were too many packing boxes piled up together, so they were placed in the order given. When a certain number was reached, Ye Zhen would borrow a car to take them away for mailing.
It’s still troublesome to think this way.
I have to negotiate with the courier station. The postage is too expensive to send a truckload of goods each time. I also have to see if there are any discounts for monthly packages.
Also, there are too few varieties of vegetables and fruits now, so she has to grow things quickly.
Ye Zhen looked at his large yard full of fruit trees. The fruit trees were thin and some had begun to bloom and bear fruit, but after all, the trees were not very big, so the space below looked bare.
Growing potted plants requires breeding at the beginning, and before she can optimize them according to the characteristics of the plants in this world, more experiments are needed, and this yard may not be enough.
Although it can be put down, it may not be convenient for people to move around.
The whole family is very busy now. Dad Ye and his family go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, otherwise they would be picked up by other people in the village.
Ye Zhen helps to check the order situation at home and does the delivery part-time. Grandma Ye comes back after a while to help pick the mushrooms. The family members have their own division of labor. Ye Zhen sees that it is past eight o'clock and the first truck of the day has been packed.
He had to borrow a car from his uncle because her family didn't have one, only a small electric car.
Uncle Ye lives not far away. Across a large slope and around a small stream, there is a tall loquat tree in the yard.
When I opened the gate, I saw the trees were full of small fruits. In less than a month, the loquats would turn yellow and ripen.
Uncle Ye usually works as a contractor painting walls outside. In order to make it easier to get work, he bought a pickup truck last year. Now he is washing the car with a hose. When he saw Ye Zhen, he was surprised and asked, "Why are you back? Aren't you working as an intern?"
"Go home and rest. Uncle, let me borrow your pickup truck so I can help you clean it up later."
Ye Zhen handed over some fruits and touched the hood of the pickup truck. It had a silver-gray appearance and a high chassis. The back pocket had been cleaned by Uncle Ye and had a large capacity.
"Lend it to me, but be careful when driving." Uncle Ye took the fruit and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Hey, why are you still carrying things?"
Uncle Ye took out a strawberry. It was pink, fresh and tender, and smelled sweet. It looked delicious no matter how you looked at it.
Aunt Ye heard Uncle Ye's voice and came out.
"What are you carrying?" He took a few steps forward and looked into the basket. "Ye Zi is here, what's up?"
"Nothing, I just need to borrow my uncle's pickup truck to transport the mushrooms."
"I'm not going to sell the leftovers online, I can still make some money."
"Lend me some money. How much is this mushroom?" Aunt Ye asked curiously.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Not bad, they can all be sold. I'm just worried that if there's not enough rain in the mountains, people will complain about it!"
Aunt Ye's eyes lit up. Her family had picked up a lot of them in the past few days. Some of them were already being dried, and there were many more expensive ones ready to be sold.
Aunt Ye was quite tempted and spoke carefully, "Does your family collect mushrooms? If the price is good, we don't have to sell them to others. If your family wants them, we can sell them to you, okay?"
"Yes, of course!"
Anyway, many people in the group buy in large quantities. Don't think she doesn't know. Many people come to her for wholesale and then continue to sell them. Ye Zhen doesn't care. The prices are almost the same. It's up to them to decide what price they can sell at.
Mushrooms are seasonal products. Once they are sold out, they are gone. It would be better to have more, which can also increase popularity.
Aunt Ye was delighted, and Uncle Ye was also happy, and they nodded:
"Okay, I'll move all the mushrooms to your house first. Do you have a scale at home?"
Ye Zhen nodded and helped move all the mushrooms from Uncle Ye's house to his own house. They had already been sorted by category, so he just had to weigh them and pay.
Uncle Ye and his wife went home happily, and the couple hurried to the mountain to pick mushrooms.
This was seen by the aunt working here, and someone asked tentatively:
"Ye Zi, can you harvest mushrooms?"
How could Ye Zhen forget the aunts working at home? Those who can come to work are those who have free time at home and are diligent. Maybe they have a lot of mushrooms at home.
"Accept it. Accept it at the market price."
Ye Zhen buys at the market price and can make a profit from the difference when selling it to others. There are so many rich people in big cities!
You can tell when she sells fruit!
The aunties can't sit still anymore. The price of mushrooms is actually different in the past. It may be a few cents more expensive one day earlier, and it may drop again and again after a few days.
They also inquired about the price that Ye Zhen's family paid for mushrooms. Everyone was tempted and the price made the aunts very satisfied.
I quickly contacted my family and asked them to send over all the mushrooms I had saved.
It turns out that we should not underestimate the capable uncles and aunts in the village. Every household sends gifts in sacks and bamboo baskets.
Ye Zhen even saw a chicken mushroom as big as the mouth of a basin inside!
When Ye's father and his friends returned with a full load, they were greeted by villagers coming and going from their home, and the entire yard was filled with various mushrooms.
Dad Ye didn't ask much and started helping to weigh the goods. Ye Zhen was in charge of registering the transfer. Turning back, he saw Ye Yang squatting on the ground, watching videos with great interest and laughing from time to time.
Ye Zhen passed by and took a glance.
On the mobile page, the male protagonist is hysterical.
The performance is exaggerated, the lines are awkward, the modeling is sharp...
Ye Zhen: "..."
Is she behind the times? Young people nowadays love to watch dramas about family ethics.
No, are you so free?
Ye Zhen couldn't stand it anymore!
Work, do all the work for her!
