Chapter 143 Watermelon and Hot Springs
The villa has recruited some new employees, and the labor pressure has been greatly alleviated. If we save some more money this month, we can start the infrastructure construction of the hot springs.
After the watermelons were put on the shelves, Yanggou Village sent out thousands of express deliveries every day. In order to cooperate with them, the express delivery companies in the town hired a few more employees.
How can this not be called disguised promotion of employment?
Tong City can also send express delivery, but Xia Wu was a little selfish. He wanted to get along with Ji Yunzhou by selling watermelons in the city, so he took the initiative to suggest in the group that he could go to the city to sell watermelons.
The people in the group didn’t understand why, but they were still happy to eat watermelon.
The last time I went to Tong City, I met Zhao Mingxuan. Zhao Mingxuan replaced the watermelons in the buffet restaurant with wholesale ones from Xia Wu’s villa, which was half the price. Every few days, he sent someone to find a car to come to the village to pick up watermelons, and each time he would bring back several thousand kilograms of watermelons.
The watermelons in the restaurant were gradually replaced, but Zhao Mingxuan did not make it public.
On Friday evening, people began to arrive at the buffet restaurant.
"Are we really going to have a buffet?" On the fourth floor of the mall, a young office worker couple didn't even have time to change out of their work clothes. They had originally planned to go to Sam's Club to buy some food to eat on their day off, but after choosing and choosing, they decided to just have a good meal out.
After working hard for most of the month, we finally had a weekend off. We had to buy a bunch of vegetables and cook them ourselves. It was so tiring just thinking about it.
Seeing the billboard in the mall, Li Jun suddenly had an idea, "Why don't we go to the buffet?"
Wu Yue subconsciously said yes. She hadn't eaten at a buffet for a long time. She looked up and saw an advertisement for Yuejixian. She had heard of this name from her colleagues and it was said that the food was delicious.
Out of habit, Wu Yue opened Meituan to look for group buys. Seeing the lowest price of 298, she hesitated the next second after being tempted. "Why not just forget it? 298 per person is a bit expensive."
"Hey, we don't eat here every month. We only eat here once every year or two. Why would we be reluctant? I'll treat you. Come on, let's go. It looks like there's all-you-can-eat seafood there."
After being persuaded by her boyfriend, Wu Yue was a little tempted again, "Are you really going to eat it?"
"Eat, of course. Don't you want to eat durian? I see there are some durians on top. 298 is only enough to buy one durian. If you eat a few more later, won't you make your money back?"
This persuasion was so convincing that Wu Yue stopped worrying and took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they reached the cafeteria, a waiter came over quickly and asked, "Hello, are you two going to eat?"
Li Jun nodded. "Yes, you two, we'd like to order a set meal for two for 298. Is group buying available?"
"Sure, please come in."
As soon as you enter the buffet restaurant, you will find that the air conditioning is on high, the aroma of food hits you in the face, the lighting is soft, and cold air is constantly coming out of the food cabinet.
After a tiring whole day, the two were really hungry. Thinking that they would eat to make up for their expenses, they paid the deposit and the cost of the hot pot, and followed the waiter to find their table.
After putting down their things, Wu Yue and Li Jun planned to take a look around to see what was available and pick out the expensive ones first!
The restaurant was so huge, with all kinds of food displayed in a dazzling array. After looking at it for a long time, the two decided to split up and take only one of each thing to taste before deciding what to eat more.
After walking around for most of the time, Wu Yue returned to her seat with a full plate. After walking around like this, she felt that the 298 yuan was worth it. Many of the seafood here were fresh and she could eat as much as she wanted.
Wu Yue picked up several crabs. Although they were a bit small, they were still crabs after all.
The price of June yellow crabs is not low now, even in supermarkets they cost dozens of dollars per kilogram.
The steamer was already steaming, and Wu Yue quickly put the crabs into the steamer, pressed the lid, and did not forget to add a few strips of shredded ginger.
Just as she was fighting the crabs, Li Jun came back with a plate that was also full, but Wu Yue saw at a glance that there was a plate of watermelon among them!
Not just one or two pieces, but a whole plate!
In an instant, Wu Yue was furious. Watermelon outside was only two yuan per pound, but she still spent three hundred yuan to eat in a buffet restaurant. Isn't this pure stupidity?
Before she could lose her temper, the idiot Li Jun said cheerfully, "Xiao Yue, try some watermelon! It's delicious! So many people lined up to get some watermelon. I tried a piece, and it was really delicious, so I took some extra so you can try it!"
Wu Yue really wanted to get angry but she couldn't. It turned out that this idiot brought so many watermelons for her.
"It's just a watermelon, how much can I eat?" Wu Yue complained softly. Never mind, at worst she could just spin around a few more times to digest it! That way she could eat more!
She took a piece of watermelon from the plate and put it in her mouth. As she ate, she said, "I also took several crabs, huh???"
Wu Yue looked at the watermelon in disbelief. Li Jun asked happily, "Really? Isn't it delicious?"
"Oh my god, is this watermelon injected with sugar? It's so sweet, but the taste is different. It feels so delicious! It's like the watermelons grown in wells that I ate when I was a kid!"
"Yes, yes, it tastes like water vapor, very refreshing!"
It's a hot day across the country now, and Tong City is no exception. They both sweated profusely when they squeezed into the subway after get off work, and only felt cooler when they entered the shopping mall.
But only my body felt cooler, and my heart still felt a little hot.
But after eating this piece of watermelon, I felt obviously cooled down from my internal organs and my mood became much better.
Wu Yue no longer had the heart to get angry. "No wonder everyone says this restaurant is great. They even put so much thought into the watermelon. I really made the right choice!"
"Yes, I feel like eating watermelon has given me a big appetite. Now I can eat more!"
This is obviously an illusion.
Watermelon tastes good, but it takes up a lot of space in your stomach. Whether you are eating hot pot or barbecue, you will feel sick of it if you eat too much. At this time, a piece of cool and refreshing watermelon will make you feel refreshed and you can't help but eat more watermelon.
The human stomach is so small that if you force yourself to eat more after you are full, eating becomes a pain.
Unless there are people who are born with big appetites and can eat much more food than ordinary people.
But how many people like this can there be?
That's why Zhao Mingxuan paid special attention to fruit drinks and pastries before. The fruits he bought were all high-quality and expensive, and the pastry chef was also a highly skilled chef hired at a high price.
Now the watermelons from Xiawu Villa have replaced the original high-priced watermelons. The purchase price is cheaper and they are much more practical, which creates a lot of profit for Zhao Mingxuan. He is so happy.
Zhao Mingxuan also joined Xia Wu's fan group. After adding Xia Wu as a friend, big data quickly pushed Xia Wu's account on Kuaishou to him. Zhao Mingxuan also learned that Xia Wu was a blogger on the Internet who was not insignificant and had quite a lot of fans.
He found that Xia Wu was still selling vegetables, and it was said that the taste was very good. He was tempted and took the opportunity to go to Yanggou Village to make purchases, so he followed the purchasing vehicle.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wu was not in the village at all. She pulled a cart of watermelons and went out early in the morning, and she hasn't come back yet.
Zhao Jing received Zhao Mingxuan. She was already familiar with this kind of thing and was not as flustered as she was at the beginning.
After visiting the vegetable fields on the mountain, Zhao Mingxuan expressed his desire to purchase some vegetables. "If the price is right, I'd like to strengthen our cooperation with you. What do you think?"
Zhao Mingxuan even thought that if Xia Wu was willing to cooperate with him, he could give him a discount. Maybe when they got to know each other better, he could even ask Xia Wu to visit his store and bring him some traffic.
Who knew that Zhao Jing rejected him as soon as she heard it.
"No, Mr. Zhao, to be honest, we don't have enough vegetables from the mountains to sell, so we can no longer provide them to your restaurant. If you need to purchase more, you can go to the village. The vegetables we grow there are also of very good quality."
Zhao Mingxuan was a little surprised. "Are you saying that the vegetables from these dozens of acres of vegetable fields are not enough to sell?"
Zhao Jing smiled bitterly and nodded. That was it.
The weather is hot and food safety issues are emerging one after another. Many people have given up on takeout and started to think about bringing their own lunch. The company's vegetable package sales have only increased and not decreased. Even if Xia Wu asked them to continue to open up wasteland and grow vegetables, the speed at which the vegetables mature cannot keep up with the speed at which so many people eat them.
The Internet is so unreasonable that it has completely overturned previous buying and selling behaviors.
In the past, when people sold vegetables, both parties would go to the market to trade. The vegetable sellers could provide a limited number of vegetables, a limited variety, and there were more than one vegetable seller. Buyers also needed to go to the market to choose what they needed. Both parties spent much more time and energy than online shopping.
It is so convenient for people to buy vegetables now. The prices are clearly marked and there is no cheating. Just click on the mobile phone and the vegetables will be delivered to your door. It is convenient for buyers, and for sellers, they can sell vegetables to many people at the same time, which gives them more room to make money.
Zhao Mingxuan never expected that Xia Wu's business was better than he thought. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Then I'll go around the village."
Originally, Zhao Mingxuan didn't have much hope, thinking that the vegetables grown in the village would definitely not be as good as those grown by Xia Wu in the mountains. However, after he took a walk around the village, he quickly changed his mind.
The villagers are also very dedicated to growing vegetables, and the quality of the vegetables is no less than that of those grown in the mountains. It's just that they are grown by individual farmers and cannot provide a particularly large output. If he wants to purchase, he can only buy from several farmers, otherwise it will not be enough.
Someone else came to the door to bring business, and the villagers easily negotiated cooperation with Zhao Mingxuan. This business would bring them an extra few thousand yuan in income every month.
Xia Wu was drowsy. She put down her phone and felt a warm touch on her back. Ji Yunzhou whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Xia Wu was so tired that she could barely keep her eyelids open. "Zhao Mingxuan wanted to buy some groceries, but they're out of stock..."
Seeing her tired look, Ji Yunzhou couldn't help but smile: "Okay, get some sleep? I'll call you later."
Just now, Xia Wu repeatedly told him that he must go back today and to be more restrained. He must listen to his wife.
With his assurance, Xia Wu felt relieved, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.
The two of them arrived in Tong City in the morning. In less than an hour, they worked together to sell all the watermelons they brought. Then they checked into a hotel, had a meal, and went to sleep.
Xia Wu was refreshed. "A perfect day! Let's go back!"
Ji Yunzhou chuckled. Was she treating him as a power bank again?
The first half of the way back was fine, but once we reached Donghua Town, the road was full of potholes and bumps from being driven by trucks. It was incredibly bumpy. Xia Wu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know when the road will be repaired. Maybe once it's repaired, investment will come."
There used to be a factory in the town, but it was evacuated for environmental protection. Now only a brick factory and a snack factory are left. The factories are not very profitable and are barely surviving, but at least they can provide some jobs for the residents of the town.
There aren't many tall buildings in Donghua Town; the entire area is undeveloped. Ji Yunzhou asked Xia Wu, "Is this how we're going to meet in the future?"
"Emm, it doesn't seem so good. How about buying a suite?"
Xia Wu felt a little guilty. She was too secretive towards Ji Yunzhou. Every time they met in private, it seemed like they were having an affair.
"Then I buy it in the city?"
"No, no, no, how about buying one in town?"
Ji Yunzhou raised an eyebrow and glanced at the ruined town next to him. "Are you sure?"
Xia Wu was so sure that she wanted to buy a piece of land before the town was developed.
When the house is built, won’t she and Ji Yunzhou have a little nest for their secret meetings?
However, she doesn't have that much money in her pocket at the moment, and buying land would cost at least several million.
Ji Yunzhou is rich, but Xia Wu is reluctant.
She felt that building her own career was fun, but once Ji Yunzhou intervened, it was like cheating, and the fun was completely gone.
Ji Yunzhou had no way to deal with her and had to cooperate obediently.
Seeing that Ji Yunzhou really listened to her in everything, Xia Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the last time Ji Yunzhou said he wanted to marry her, Xia Wu subconsciously wanted to escape.
Even she herself didn't know what she was trying to escape from.
Still not over your last relationship?
No, she was sure that she didn't like Fu Shilin anymore.
She thought and thought, and finally realized that she was afraid of trouble.
Ji Yunzhou was not as simple as she thought. If his family was rich, the situation at home would definitely be more complicated than that of the Xia family.
Xia Wu had finally escaped from such a complicated vortex and caught his breath. How could he possibly go back in?
Now she just wants to enjoy the rare peace and quiet.
Fortunately, Ji Yunzhou didn't mind.
So in order to give Ji Yunzhou an explanation, Xia Wu decided: she must work harder to make money!
The first thing is to build the hot springs before winter comes!
Xia Wu also had many ideas about Yang Guofeng's suggestion to build roads and install lights.
It's said that when winter comes, Donghua Town will snow, and so will Zimu Mountain. Imagine the mountains half covered in snow, with bustling crowds at the foot of the mountains, and lights on even at night...
Soaking in hot springs in such a beautiful scenery and overlooking the heaven on earth is definitely one of the most perfect enjoyments in life!
Xia Wu also contributed a small amount of money to the village to build roads. The amount was not much, but it was enough for her to make some decisive suggestions on the construction of the town.
Thinking of the fans saying in the forum that they felt Yanggou Village was like a game, Xia Wu couldn't help laughing. She also felt like she was playing a fun game.
I wonder what happened to the guy in the forum who said he wanted to make a game based on Yanggou Village.
