With the recent autumn harvest, many families have a little more money in their pockets, and they're using it to buy meat as a way to prepare for the New Year.
But they soon realized something was wrong.
The first to notice something was wrong was the line that had arrived early to draw a number.
They were lined up right in the direction the convoy was coming from.
They only realized the number was wrong after the convoy passed by.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!"
"Eight! Really eight!"
Normally, three vehicles are used to transport vegetables, and at most four vehicles are used.
Now there are four more cars.
And looking at the tarpaulin piled high on the vehicle, it seems like the load is heavier than usual.
The first reaction from everyone was that the shopkeeper had finally started serving meat.
But when the tarpaulins covering the eight vehicles were lifted, everyone was almost blinded by the overwhelming greenery.
Vegetables, all vegetables!
Lush green, fresh vegetables!
After autumn arrives, fresh vegetables are rarely seen in the market.
The main vegetables you can find are mushrooms, as well as a few cold-resistant farm vegetables such as cabbage, radish, and bok choy.
However, the new dishes they are seeing now are not the ones they can see now.
Moreover, some of them I could recognize as what kind of dish they were, while others I had never seen before.
Yun Zhiyi's newly harvested batch of vegetables includes quite a few varieties.
Basically, each type of plant is planted on three or four acres, regardless of whether it is in season or not.
Originally, part of the money was intended to continue supplying restaurants for their autumn and winter operations, while the rest was intended for personal consumption.
They're all being put out for sale now.
In addition to the original cabbage, bok choy, radish, bean sprouts, pumpkin, and winter melon, nine new kinds of fruits and vegetables were added to the shelves today.
Leafy green vegetables include lettuce, chives, spinach, celery, romaine lettuce, and kale.
The remaining vegetables include tomatoes, green beans, and cauliflower.
These are all plants with a relatively short growth period; they were originally planted for nearly a month.
Yesterday they suddenly grew wildly and have all reached harvest time.
There are several other types, but because their growth period is relatively long, although they grow rapidly, they are still a little short of being ready for harvest.
However, judging by the time frame, it should be within about half a month.
Of these new vegetables, only spinach is something some people have seen before.
It can be considered a common wild vegetable.
However, the wild vegetables don't look as good as those from Yunjian Vegetable Shop.
The wild spinach they had ever seen was only slightly larger than the palm of their hand.
The spinach at Yunjian Vegetable Shop is as long as a forearm, and the leaves are almost as big as a palm.
The rest of them were all completely bewildered.
Yun Zhiyi stood outside the store, letting the shop assistants carry the baskets inside one by one, and answering customers' questions along the way.
"Shopkeeper, what's this red stuff? Is it new fruit?"
"That's a tomato. It's a vegetable, but it can also be eaten like a fruit. It tastes good in egg drop soup or scrambled eggs."
"Shopkeeper Yun, what's that big, beige thing that looks like a flower?"
"That's beggar's cauliflower. It can be stir-fried, braised, pan-fried, or boiled. It's very versatile."
"And what are these thin lines?"
"This is called chive blossom. You can cut it into sections and stir-fry it with meat, eggs, or shrimp."
"Why is this vegetable such a big stem?"
"This is celery, which can also be stir-fried or braised."
"Isn't celery a thin stalk?"
"This is a new variety."
"Shopkeeper, there are so many vegetables today, can we buy more?"
At this point, Yun Zhiyi simply took the opportunity to explain the new rules that had been adjusted that day.
"We have a lot of new dishes for autumn and winter, so not only today, but every day thereafter the quantity and variety of dishes in the store will increase, so the numbering system needs to be adjusted."
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
Should we add more numbers?
Then she said, "The previous lottery rules are invalid, but the numbers drawn yesterday are still valid today. From today onwards, there will no longer be different types of numbers. There will only be one lottery tube with two thousand sticks inside, one thousand of which will be valid. Each number is limited to purchasing no more than five items in the store. Winners must wait one day before they can participate in the lottery again."
Some quick-witted people have already figured it out.
This means the number of available numbers has increased several times, but the quantity that can be purchased is now limited.
For those with purchasing power, this is a mixed blessing.
The quantity they can buy has decreased.
But the opportunity to buy vegetables has increased.
For ordinary people, that would be a wonderful thing.
Anyway, they can only buy one or two kinds of dishes each time.
Therefore, the purchase quantity limit has no impact on them at all.
Now that there are more numbers available, it means there are more opportunities to buy them.
Once the message was released, the entire street was filled with buzzing conversations.
Some people are even calling for the cloud store to add more numbers.
Two thousand accounts per day is still too few.
It's important to understand that this news has been circulating for quite some time.
Now, Yunjian Vegetable Shop is completely famous in Lufeng City.
For ordinary people, it's fine, but for those who haven't tried it before, the price and the long queues often deter them.
It's not worth going to so much trouble just to taste some flowers.
But it's different for wealthy people; they don't need to queue up themselves anyway.
So ever since Yun Zhiyi formulated the lottery rules.
Instead of driving away customers, we've actually attracted more and more new customers.
Now, at least half of the two teams are servants sent by wealthy families.
Each household will send 1-5 people.
Lufeng City was at least a medium-sized city, though not particularly wealthy.
However, thanks to its geographical advantages and proximity to the imperial city, it was a relatively prosperous and well-developed city.
Therefore, while there may not be many powerful and influential families in the city, there are quite a few wealthy households.
Even if it's not a thousand, there must be several hundred households.
If all these people send their servants over, they can directly occupy more than a thousand spots.
Unfortunately, cloud-based businesses rarely change their policies overnight.
Once a decision has been made, it cannot be changed because of their few words of advice.
Everyone was filled with regret.
But thinking that things are better now than before, I calmed down.
Those who draw a number can only draw again the next day, which is equivalent to giving those who didn't draw a number an extra two thousand chances.
Upon closer reflection, cloud-based businesses are actually already making efforts to consider the needs of ordinary people.
She clearly wanted more ordinary people to be able to buy vegetables; otherwise, she wouldn't have increased the number of accounts while simultaneously reducing the purchase quantity again.
Thinking of this, ordinary customers felt even more grateful to her.
After answering her question, Yun Zhiyi turned and went into the shop.
Seven staff members have already put all the dishes on the shelves.
The shelves that used to cover three walls now look empty.
Now, at a glance, you can't see any gaps.
The shelves were lined with rows of fresh vegetables, which looked very appealing.
With a command given, the first batch of customers were finally allowed into the store.
When they saw the abundance of vegetables, they were momentarily overwhelmed and, unlike usual, rushed straight for their target.
Some people with a specific goal in mind will first head to their target area, put the vegetables they want into their baskets, and then go to see what new vegetables have been added to the shelves.
Then he couldn't help but show surprise.
The reason is simple: the price of these vegetables is unexpectedly low.
Lettuce costs 20 coins per pound.
Chive blossoms cost 50 coins per pound.
