"There's nothing to sell, and nobody comes to buy, yet I'm forced to come here every day. I can't even refuse. It's so annoying." Saying this, she swept everything off the table in frustration.
Jin Xia arrived just in time to witness her boss's irritable side.
However, the door to the supervisor's office was open, and she was already standing in the doorway. There was no way to back out, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Director..."
The man, Wang Daming, saw Jin Xia compose herself and asked in a normal tone, "What is it?"
Jin Xia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her boss wasn't angry.
This leader only arrived last month. I heard he has connections, which is why he was put in this position. He seems to have a good temper, but I don't know if he really is.
So, I'm a little nervous right now, "Someone outside is asking if I buy cabbages?"
Wang Daming thought it was dried vegetables. Several people had asked about it in the past few days, but he didn't take it seriously and simply said, "I don't buy them. No one would buy them anyway."
Disappointed, Jin Xia said, "Oh, I see." She took two steps outside, then stopped for some reason. Undeterred, she asked again, "Director, are you really not accepting fresh cabbages?"
Wang Daming was somewhat skeptical. "Where would you find fresh cabbage at this hour? It must be a scam. I won't buy it."
Jin Xia quickly said, "Director, these are really fresh cabbages. I can see them myself, they're bright green, and there's even dew on them."
Wang Daming didn't notice Jin Xia's somewhat exaggerated statement; all his attention was on the cabbage, and he was still somewhat skeptical.
"You really saw it?"
Jin Xia nodded, "I really saw them, the people are outside, and so is Bai Cai. Director, why don't you go out and take a look..."
"Then let's hurry up and go." With that, Wang Daming walked out of the office and ran ahead.
Jin Xia followed behind Wang Daming, running while secretly pleased. She had really done the right thing this time; the boss was happy, and her future work would be much easier.
Thinking about it, she felt a surge of joy, believing that Song Lili was her benefactor.
Song Lili waited outside the whole time. She thought that anyone with a modicum of common sense would not turn down fresh cabbage.
You should know that in the Northwest, it's impossible to get fresh vegetables in the dead of winter. Even if you do get them, they are dried vegetables that have been processed using special methods in the summer and autumn.
Although dried vegetables are also vegetables, they do not have the unique flavor of fresh vegetables.
Therefore, she was very confident that these cabbages would definitely sell.
Sure enough, a tall but thin man soon strode over, looking somewhat excited.
When Wang Daming arrived at the counter, he only saw Song Lili, a girl who looked to be only about ten years old.
They also didn't connect Song Lili with the vegetable seller.
Thinking the customer had gotten impatient and left, he turned to Jin Xia anxiously and asked, "Where is she? Why is she gone? Did she leave?"
Jin Xia quickly pointed to Song Lili and said, "No, no, that's her."
Wang Daming looked at Song Lili with some suspicion. "Her? Are you sure?" He kept scrutinizing her.
Song Lili was also sizing up Wang Daming. Hmm, his eyes were clear and he seemed like an upright person.
Smiling and nodding, "Yes, I am me, a fresh cabbage, want some?"
"Let me see the cabbage first before I can decide whether I want it or not." Even now, Wang Daming was still a little skeptical.
Song Lili placed the basket directly in front of Wang Daming. "Here, these were just picked this morning, they're still very fresh."
The half-full basket of cabbages made Wang Daming feel as if he had seen spring, and his heart immediately leaped with joy.
"It's really like cabbage! We want it, we want it! How much do you have? I'll take it all."
Wang Daming was afraid that Song Lili wouldn't sell them, so he didn't even mention the price and just asked to buy them all.
Song Lili was amused by Wang Daming's eagerness. "Aren't you afraid I'll ask for an exorbitant price? What if it's really high?"
Wang Daming, however, said nonchalantly, "As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll take it all. New Year's cabbage is a rare treat in the dead of winter; it's something you can only come across by chance."
Wang Daming knew that fresh vegetables were available in winter, but definitely not in this remote town.
I guess only big cities like provincial capitals can afford to eat fresh vegetables in winter.
So when he saw the cabbage, he had only one thought: he had to buy it at all costs.
There are wealthy people in the town, and besides, if they can't be sold in the town, there's always the county. He's not afraid of these things becoming unsellable.
He looked at Song Lili with sparkling eyes and said, "How many do you have? I'll take them all."
