Chapter 77: Going to Sell Vegetables
That year, she planted acre of green vegetables, and whenever she got a crunch, she chose to sell them.
However, in places like the countryside, there are not many things, but there are many dishes.
On weekdays, many people can’t finish their own vegetables and usually sell them to the town for sale.
But Xiao’s mother planted a lot of vegetables and had no way to sell them in large quantities, so she could only sell them by herself.
It can be sold out occasionally, but most of the time it cannot be sold out.
Mother Xiao considered picking vegetables to sell them in the county town.
It's just that the road is remote and the traffic is inconvenient.
Even if Mother Xiao got up early, no vehicle passed.
Besides, there are only buses from Taoyuan Village to the town on the market. Usually, if there is an urgent matter, you can only rent someone’s tricycle to go there. However, the cost is not cheap, and you can’t make a profit for the whole day of the car.
Therefore, Xiao's mother could only take the bus at the earliest of 5:30 on the market day, and then take the bus to the county town to take the bus. This way, she would be very late to get to the county town.
Many people get up early in the morning to buy groceries, but they all buy them and go back.
Fortunately, the vegetables grown by Mama Xiao are so beautiful that they are sold out quickly.
Sometimes, if a restaurant likes her food, it will buy some at a cheap price.
I have to go down, except for the fare, I can only make a little profit.
After a year, I only made a little money, and it was better to grow rice.
In the following years, Xiao's mother never planted vegetables and sold them.
Now, she stopped selling vegetables, and her good daughter actually went to sell vegetables.
Fortunately, I made a big deal, renting a warehouse and buying a tricycle.
Speaking of tricycles, Xiao's mother thought to herself that after going to the county town this time, she would have to drive back and forth. In the future, she would not have to take a car and ride a tricycle back and forth by herself, so she would not have to go back and forth.
"Xiao Lingyu, have you got up?" Xiao's mother didn't hear the movement inside, and she started shouting again.
"Mom, I'm up!" Xiao Lingyu said with a little depressed look.
It was really easy to sleep that day, and it was really hard to get up.
However, for the first time selling food in the space, you have to make a good start, so you can’t be lazy.
Then, Xiao Lingyu quickly got up, put on her clothes, folded her quilt, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and then looked for change. As Xiao's mother said, she had to go until after five o'clock.
Mama Xiao frys egg cakes in the kitchen.
It’s better to bring egg cakes on the road.
First find a clean plastic bag to pack the cake, then make a clean towel, wrap the cake, take insulation measures, and then put another bag.
In this way, the cake will still be warm when it is six or seven o'clock.
Mother Xiao carried the black bag that usually went to the market to the county town.
Xiao Lingyu is ready, and Xiao’s mother is ready.
The two went out.
Dad Xiao walked out and instructed, "You two are careful on the way!"
"I understand, dad!"
"I got it, his dad!"
The mother and daughter said in unison.
In fact, Dad Xiao also wanted to go with him, but he picked up several owners today and couldn't leave at all.
When the mother and daughter passed by Uncle Xiao Si’s door, they were holding a brand new motorcycle. Uncle Xiao Si was already sitting at the door of the house waiting for them.
Today is not a day on the market, and there are no buses.
When I went to this section of the road in the town, I could only ask Uncle Xiao Si to ride a motorcycle and carry them over.
"Uncle Fourth, it's so early!" Xiao Lingyu greeted with a smile.
Uncle Xiao Si said seriously, "Yu'er, if you want to sell vegetables, you have to hurry up early. Can you stand it?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and boasted, "Uncle Fourth, I have been a good child who has been hard-working since I was a child. What is this hardship?"
"Haha..." Uncle Xiao laughed, "That's right. I remember when you were studying, you got up so early, or even earlier."
When Uncle Xiao Si was saying this, he had already sat on the motorcycle and said, "Come on, come on!"
After the two of them sat down, they left with a "whisper" sound.
Uncle Xiao sent them to the town and came back directly, while the mother and daughter had to take the bus to the county town.
When Xiao Lingyu took Xiao's mother to turn left and right, Xiao's mother frowned and asked, "Yu'er, where is the warehouse you rented? I've been walking for so long, and the roundabout thing has not arrived yet." Xiao's mother looked around and back, "It's getting more and more remote, and it's too unsafe."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Mom, it's almost here."
After Xiao Lingyu took Xiao’s mother to another alley, she took two more steps and arrived in front of the iron gate.
Mother Xiao looked at the locked iron door, looked inside, and saw a two-story building. She asked in confusion, "Yu'er, is it just here?"
"yes."
"The house you rented is too large. Did you rent this place alone or did you rent it together?"
According to the housing prices in the county town, the rent for such a large yard is at least seven or eight hundred.
I don’t know if this dish is profitable, so I paid a lot of money.
In an instant, Xiao's mother felt sorry for the money, but she also felt sorry for her daughter who was suffering from her back and forth.
When Xiao's mother followed Xiao Lingyu into the door, her eyes immediately looked at her.
The house looks clean and tidy, making people feel comfortable.
Xiao Lingyu said, "Mom, this house is good. I rent it alone, and the rent is 350 yuan, which is not expensive at all. The two old men who rented the house to me are also very kind."
Mother Xiao didn't believe it, she said in a little surprised, "It's so cheap?"
"Yeah." Xiao Lingyu said, "Mom, from now on, you and your dad and brother can come here often."
"Didn't you say that your friend has delivered the food? Where is the food?" Xiao's mother no longer felt sorry for the rent, nor did she want to talk to Xiao Lingyu about the issue of not being able to live. What she is worried about now is whether those can be sold.
Because as she said, after all the troubles, I felt that it was almost nine o'clock here and if I didn't leave a stall, who would buy vegetables?
Xiao Lingyu walked in front of Xiao’s mother, came to the warehouse door, took out the key, and when she pushed open the door, she reached in with one hand, and as soon as she thought, she silently said, "Out!"
Then, she pushed it away and saw piles of vegetables on the tricycle appearing immediately in front of the two of them.
When she saw those fresh and watery dishes, Mama Xiao was really surprised.
She walked up to check and said, "Yu'er, is this the vegetable your friend grows with that kind of nutrient?"
"Yes, mom!" Xiao Lingyu picked up a tomato from the pile and handed it to Xiao's mother and said, "Mom, try it!"
Of course, Xiao’s mother understood what Xiao Lingyu meant, so she picked up the tomato and took a bite.
Then, her eyes were full of shock, and she said, "This...this is so delicious." The taste is fragrant, sweet and sour, not to mention cooking, but eating fruits, it is all enjoyment!
Xiao Lingyu said, "Mom, I will sell these tomatoes one by one, two yuan each, eggplant and cabbage one by one, what do you think?"
"Cough cough..." Xiao's mother, who was eating tomatoes, was choked by Xiao Lingyu's words. When she recovered, she felt incredible, "Yu'er, two yuan per one, would it be too expensive?" The tomatoes on the market outside were only two or three yuan per pound. This was simply doubled.
"My mother tasted the taste of this tomato, and did she think it was not worth it?" Xiao Lingyu said, "It was fragrant, sweet and sour, and it was much better than those expensive fruits."
After hearing this, Xiao's mother hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then try it first!"
Xiao Lingyu picked up some vegetables casually.
"Yu'er, what are you doing?" Xiao's mother was obviously confused when she saw the action.
Xiao Lingyu said, "I agreed with the landlord and grandma yesterday to leave some vegetables for her. We should also leave some vegetables at home and give some to our fourth uncle."
"Why pick it up now? I can't sell it all and take it home." Mother Xiao said, "Just just bring out the landlord's grandma's vegetables!"
That's what it is in the countryside.
If you can’t sell enough things, you can eat them at home or give them to others.
Xiao Lingyu said helplessly, "Mom, what if these dishes are sold out? I will definitely have to eat some such delicious dishes at home. Oh, I will also keep some tomatoes and send them to me when they are sold out."
Mama Xiao, “…”
Just as Xiao Lingyu was picking up vegetables, the voice of the old lady from the landlord came from outside, "Xiao Yatou, Xiao Yatou, are you here?"
Xiao Lingyu immediately responded, "Grandma, I'm here!"
