Aside from these two methods, the people of Qingcheng basically had no vegetables to eat.
Because of this situation, people have gradually developed a habit of not eating vegetables much.
This is why people generally eat less vegetables with noodles, while they eat more vegetables with rice.
This dietary habit is undoubtedly related to the climate.
However, some families are relatively wealthy, so apart from these conventional methods, they basically have to buy some vegetables at the market to supplement their diet.
The required quantity is quite small.
Vegetable greenhouses near Qingcheng can usually meet the demand, so there is no need for vegetables from other places to come.
When Wang Tianxiao arrived at the vegetable wholesale market, it was already afternoon. The vegetables he had planted to begin with were even fewer because it was so late.
Wang Tianxiao searched for a long time, but couldn't find enough vegetables of good quality.
Buying vegetables in small, scattered quantities is too much trouble and too expensive, as you can't take them home anyway.
"It seems we're a bit late today. Most of the vegetables have already been sold. This wholesale batch must have arrived this morning."
Wang Tianxiao eventually gave up.
I want to come over early tomorrow, preferably right when I arrive by car, so I can have the other person deliver the vegetables to him.
It also saves on travel expenses and saves him the trouble of finding a car to pick him up.
He slowly walked out of the wholesale market, and was about to ride away on his bicycle when he saw a small farm vehicle driving by.
The young man driving looked exhausted, his face and sleeves covered in dirt, and his sheepskin coat was torn for some reason, revealing the cotton wadding inside.
Behind the truck was a load of vegetables.
Wang Tianxiao's heart skipped a beat, and he called out, "Brother, are you a wholesaler of vegetables?"
The young man was waiting for the bicycles in front of him to move aside when he heard Wang Tianxiao call him. He replied, "Yes, wholesale."
"Well... since it's wholesale, why are you only coming now? It's already late."
"Oh, what bad luck! When the car got to Changqing Bridge, it couldn't get up a slope and got stuck halfway. It was stuck, not going forward or backward, and finally it just crashed into a field. It took a lot of effort to get it out, and that's why we're late."
The young man's accent sounded a bit like someone from Shaanxi Province; his voice was very heavy.
"But what are you going to do now that you've only just arrived? There aren't many people coming to buy vegetables wholesale anymore, are there?"
"...Well, let's try our luck. If it doesn't work, I'll wait one night and try again tomorrow. It's really frustrating. Many vegetables need to be sold fresh. If this is delayed, the vegetables tomorrow will still be of good quality, but they will look much worse. This trip has really been a huge loss."
The young man was extremely frustrated.
As he spoke, he kept trying to cover the cuffs of his worn-out wool coat with his hand.
But this is just a subconscious action; in fact, it's completely useless.
As soon as he removed his hand, the tear in his clothes was revealed again.
The already meager amount of cotton inside was now even less, and the young man was clearly a bit cold.
Wang Tianxiao observed this, thought for a moment, and asked, "Brother, what dishes do you have?"
"There's a lot of it, potatoes, white radishes, carrots, green onions, cabbage, bok choy, and all sorts of other kinds."
“I see,” Wang Tianxiao pondered for a moment, “How about this, young man, I’ll take all of your vegetables. Just give me the cheapest price, and I won’t haggle anymore. Anyway, judging from the appearance of your vegetables, some of them have been bruised, and they’ll probably spoil by tomorrow. It’s not appropriate for you to sell them at the original wholesale price.”
"You... what did you say? You mean you want all the vegetables in this truck?"
"Yes, we'll take them all."
Wang Tianxiao said with a smile.
"Why do you need so many vegetables? Do you know how many pounds this is?"
The young man was very surprised and looked at Wang Tianxiao in disbelief.
Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "Isn't your truck supposed to be three tons? There are gaps in the vegetables, so you definitely can't carry three tons. I estimate it's at most a little over one ton. Let's say you have three thousand catties of vegetables."
"Wow, you're pretty much right, that's about it," the young man said, quite surprised that Wang Tianxiao's estimate was accurate. "But the question is, brother, why do you need so many vegetables? What kind of family do you come from? Can you eat three thousand catties of vegetables?"
"Haha, of course I can't eat it all, but I have a way to deal with it for you. Just tell me the price. I'll buy the whole truckload. How much will you give me?"
"This... I really have to do the math. I never thought anyone could buy it all at once."
The young man was overwhelmed with happiness, and his voice was filled with disbelief.
Wang Tianxiao's actions truly shocked him.
It gave him a feeling of being saved from a desperate situation.
I thought that since we missed the best time to wholesale and some vegetables were damaged, this business would definitely only lose money, and it was just a matter of how much we would lose.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a big spender and boss like Wang Tianxiao.
They bought them all at once.
This is what it means for a pie to fall from the sky.
"Hey bro, you're not kidding me, are you?"
The young man was still not entirely at ease.
Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "Of course not. Why would I tease you? I just saw that you've come all this way to sell vegetables, which isn't easy for you. Anyway, I happen to need some vegetables, so I'll help you solve this problem."
"Big brother...you really are my savior."
