Chapter 171 Selling Vegetables



Gu Zhenqi waited until they were almost done talking, then found the right opportunity to interrupt and said, "I do have some greens at home, I'll give them to everyone later, just don't think it's too little."

Hearing the word Qingcai, everyone at the table looked at Gu Zhenqi.

Granny Chen asked first: "Zhenqi, where do you buy your vegetables?"

"I didn't buy it. A relative of mine has business dealings with people in the south. Did he bring it to me?"

Her words made everyone realize that they were not ignorant people.

The winter in the south is also lush and green, unlike the north where it is withered and yellow!

Sometimes in winter, unit leaders would receive fresh vegetables from the south.

Obviously, their minds were active. It was not convenient to ask Gu Zhenqi for help at the dinner table, so they suppressed their thoughts for the time being and then stopped discussing the topic of vegetables.

After dinner

Gu Zhen returned to her room and took out four fragrant cucumbers from the space;

Four tomatoes exuding a strong aroma, green rapeseed with water droplets hanging on it, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, spinach...

I only took these few things, and each of them is probably less than one pound. Is there any way to explain why it is so much?

Her goal is just to display fresh vegetables to the public and start a vegetable selling business through them.

In this era, televisions and telephones were not yet widely available in every household, and information could not be spread through electronic devices or television advertisements, but only by word of mouth.

Don’t look down on this primitive way of communication, its spreading effect is amazing!

What is the most powerful thing in this era? It must be a woman, an old lady’s mouth!

Winter greens are a scarce commodity, and she only has one of each. If she sells the first batch, she can sell the second batch...

Gu Zhenqi is not worried about sales at all.

Return to Granny Chen's house

As soon as she stepped into the room, everyone's eyes fell on the basket in her hands. Gu Zhenqi placed the basket in front of everyone and lifted the cloth covering it.

"I have these at home, let's share them," said Gu Zhenqi.

Seeing fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and greens just picked from the vegetable garden...

For those who were close, the fresh fragrance of cucumbers and the sweetness and sourness of tomatoes all penetrated into everyone's nasal cavity.

Maybe it’s really been too long since I last had a meal of fresh vegetables?

The man, who had just had a sumptuous meal and had been craving for cucumbers, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"I want two cucumbers!" she said first, and then quickly took away two cucumbers.

Seeing her take action, the others, who were embarrassed to save face, were afraid that if they did not take action, they would not be able to get even a single leaf of vegetable. So, without caring about face, everyone took a portion of vegetables.

Only one tomato was left for Granny Chen.

Looking at the bright red tomato at the bottom of the basket, Granny Chen quickly took it out and handed it to her daughter-in-law:

"Take it to the kitchen. I'll make you some tomato noodles tomorrow morning!"

Chu Yu immediately understood what her mother-in-law meant. She was worried that if she didn't take this tomato, it would be lost. She obediently took the tomato and walked towards the kitchen.

Never having anything and getting little are two completely different feelings?

No, I will keep looking!

If you get a small amount, it will arouse the deepest greed in your heart, and you want more, more...

Just like the people in the house holding a bunch of green vegetables, a cucumber, and a tomato...

They looked at what they were holding in their hands and secretly thought about what dish to make.

After much calculation, it all ended in failure because the quantity was too small, not enough for a whole dish!

I have to say that Gu Zhenqi was a successful businessman in his previous life. He understood consumers' psychology very accurately!
