Chapter 32 Doing this dirty work
Zhang Kun came over early the next morning.
The vegetable market opened early, and Ji Zixuan and the others had not yet gotten up.
Li Xu didn't have time to make breakfast, so she left two dollars for Ji Zixuan and asked him to take his younger brother and sister out to buy some breakfast in the morning. Then she and Zhang Kun carried two bamboo baskets of vegetables and went to the vegetable market.
After paying the money, Zhang Kun took Li Xu to the vegetable market to settle down.
In 1996, greenhouse technology in S City was not very advanced, so most of the vegetables sold in the vegetable market were seasonal vegetables such as cabbage and potatoes.
There are out-of-season vegetables like Li Xu, but they are all transported over long distances, so the quality is naturally inferior.
So as soon as Li Xu set up the place, she attracted a lot of people.
It’s around seven in the morning, which is when the vegetable market is the busiest.
Li Xu has been selling vegetables for so many days and has gained some training.
She brought a small, clean knife and cut a tomato, a cucumber and a radish.
In the space, Li Xu added a lot of dishes later.
Although radish is also a seasonal vegetable, Li Xu tasted it herself.
This radish is different from ordinary radishes. Ordinary radishes are a bit spicy. It’s okay to eat it in dishes, but it’s too spicy to eat it as a snack.
This radish is different. It is very juicy and has a strong radish flavor, but it is not spicy at all and is even a little sweet.
Immediately, Li Xu opened his voice and shouted: "Try first and then buy. It doesn't matter if you don't buy..."
Li Xu's dishes look good. I don't even need to taste them, I want to buy them just by looking at their appearance.
Moreover, this taste...
"These tomatoes are sour and sweet, perfect for making soup. Big sister, give me five pounds."
"This cucumber is crunchy and sweet. Not only can it be used in cooking, but it can also be eaten as fruit. Big sister, I'll give you 10 kilograms of cucumbers."
"This radish is very juicy and not spicy at all. Big sister, please weigh ten kilograms for me."
…
Anyone who has tasted Li Xu's stuff will buy it, and they always buy it in packs of five or ten kilograms.
There are even some that cost twenty kilograms.
Li Xu took a plastic bag and put the food in it neatly, while advising them, "Thank you for your support, but I come here every day, so you can buy less. If you buy too much and can't finish it, it won't be fresh..."
A woman laughed when she heard this and said, "You are different from them. They all want us to buy more."
This is an offensive statement, as other vendors are watching nearby.
Li Xu smiled and said, "That's different. They are all seasonal vegetables, like cabbage and potatoes. These kinds of things can be kept for a long time. It's easier to buy more."
Originally, other people felt a little uncomfortable seeing how popular Li Xu was right after arriving.
Now that Li Xu is speaking for them, and although Li Xu’s business is good, the categories of products he sells are different from theirs, it can be said that he is not stealing their business.
Therefore, everyone's impression of Lee Soo has improved a bit.
Li Xu sold out all the dishes in less than half an hour after arriving here.
It’s not even 8:30 yet. If we’re still in time, we can sell more.
Li Xu thought about it, then hurried back home carrying two bamboo baskets.
Fortunately, she prepared some extra dishes last night, otherwise she would have lost a lot of money.
After helping Li Xu settle down, Zhang Kun went to do his own things.
After all, it is a public canteen and we can’t always eat rare dishes.
Cheap vegetables like potatoes and cabbage should also be eaten from time to time.
Without Zhang Kun's help, Li Xu had a hard time carrying the two bamboo baskets by himself.
When Li Xu returned to the vegetable market alone with two bamboo baskets, quite a few people had already gathered in front of the stall.
In less than half an hour, the dishes were sold out again.
Li Xu has been busy for so long and is exhausted.
When I got home and counted, I found that I had earned seventy or eighty yuan in that morning alone.
This month, it’s at least two thousand yuan.
Ji Jianguo has a high level of education and his salary is considered high among ordinary people, but it is only 600 yuan a month.
She can earn two thousand yuan a month!
Li Xu was shocked after the calculation.
Yuanyuan's space is really a treasure. Apart from the seed money and labor, there is no other cost, and I can make so much money in a month!
As he thought about it, Li Xu began to feel a little scared.
If other people knew about this treasure, Yuanyuan would be in trouble.
In the evening, when Ji Yuan returned home from school, he felt that Li Xu was a little strange.
He always looked at her secretly, as if there was something dirty on her.
Soon, it was the weekend.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were also sensible. They were afraid that Li Xu would be too tired by himself, so they got up early in the morning. There were two bamboo baskets in total. The two brothers carried one and Li Xu carried one by himself. Ji Yuanyuan was holding Li Xu's hand from behind.
Several people went to the vegetable market.
Ji Yuanyuan is a sweet-talker. When she saw a pound of vegetable at the market, she kept calling people uncle and aunt. She soon won the hearts of several vendors next to Li Xu.
Ji Yuanyuan's pockets were filled with all kinds of candies and snacks.
Ji Ziang looked at it with envy.
He really couldn't understand it. They were all children and they all had the last name Ji.
Why does Yuanyuan always get candy from people, but I rarely receive any?
Speaking of which, the chocolates at home had been eaten up a long time ago, and I don’t know if Uncle Qin still remembers him.
I heard that Qin Mucheng is coming over during the winter vacation. He should bring back some chocolate, right?
"Hey, why is it you, sister?" Just when Ji Ziang was puzzled, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
When I turned around, it turned out to be that bad woman Shen Mei.
"Who is your sister?" Ji Ziang rushed to Li Xu and said to Chen Mei aggressively.
Li Xu was busy and had no time to pay attention to Chen Mei. He just glanced at her lightly and then calmly looked away.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't expect to see Chen Mei here.
Looking at her, she seems to be living a good life. I wonder how she handled the incident that happened that day.
Yes, Chen Mei has always been very capable, so I guess this little thing is nothing in her eyes.
As long as she cried in front of Ji Jianguo and talked some nonsense to him, that fool Ji Jianguo would rush to stand in front of her.
"Sister, how could you bring your child to a place like this, to do such dirty work? Are you short of money?" Chen Mei pretended to be surprised and said, "No matter how short of money you are, you can't bring your child to a place like this. What kind of future can a child who grew up in a vegetable market have?"
She sighed, "Zi'ang's grades weren't that good to begin with. I heard he was one of the last two in the class!"
Originally, Li Xu was busy and didn't want to pay attention to her, but she brought up the child again and again, how could Li Xu tolerate it?
"Yes, my children are naturally not as good as yours. You are so capable, I'm sure your daughter will be like you in the future and become the mistress of a married man."
Originally, Shen Mei's words scolded everyone in the vegetable market.
They say selling vegetables is dirty and tiring work.
The people around naturally disliked Chen Mei, and when they heard Li Xu scolding her, they all laughed out loud.
