1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 41 The Most Outstanding Vegetable Farmer
Early in the morning.

Seeing the familiar thin figure, Yi Dinggan wanted to say, you shouldn't have come.

But he came anyway.

Qi Yongfeng and Li Mingkun rubbed their sleepy eyes, washed their faces with cold water, and confirmed that it was Liu Minghua.

Why is he here?

Chen Jiazhi was smiling, and in the eyes of several people, his smile was very mean.

"Seeing how hard it is for you to help me bring food, and there are a lot of food recently, I asked Liu Minghua to come and bring food for me for a few days, but there are still a lot today, so I need your help to bring some."

A few people wanted to refuse.

What a dog!
At least tell me in advance.

In the end, Qi Yongfeng silently helped Chen Jiazhi bring 20 kilograms of vegetables. The matter of Jia Suzhen was opened up from him.

But before this, when Liu Minghua was caught selling rotten vegetables in the market, Qi Yongfeng had helped him.

Besides, he didn't do anything to Jia Suzhen. If it weren't for him, Liu Minghua might still be in the dark.

Qi Yongfeng didn't feel guilty at all.

Yi Dinggan and Guo Mancang were fine too, they didn't do anything to Jia Suzhen, but Li Mingkun was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb, he actually touched her~
Fortunately, Liu Minghua didn't say a word, but silently helped Chen Jiazhi get into the car, and then silently set off and followed behind.

It is not easy to carry 300 kilograms of vegetables onto the Luoxi Bridge.

Just for crossing this bridge, Chen Jiazhi felt that the salary of 15 yuan per night was worth it.

Besides, no one mentioned Jia Suzhen tonight~
After arriving at the market, Chen Jiazhi saw a large pile of vegetables, which was extremely spectacular among the small retail shops.

The weather has not been so bad recently, and the vegetables are growing very fast. Vegetables are appearing one after another, but none of them are as vigorous as Chen Jiazhi.

About 400 kilograms of vegetables were enough a few days ago.

It broke a new high today.

Small vegetable farmers who produce hundreds of kilograms of vegetables every day should not appear at makeshift stalls like theirs.

The vegetable farmers are very envious.

For buyers, Chen Jiazhi's dishes are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night.

It is hard for any vegetable vendor passing by not to notice Chen Jiazhi’s vegetables.

First, there are many dishes, with many categories and large quantities, so you can choose from them, which saves time.

Secondly, the dishes are of outstanding quality. Among all the makeshift stalls, there are no dishes more outstanding than those of Chen Jiazhi.

Especially the carefully prepared choy sum, vegetable vendors can't help but take a second look and ask the price.

Just like running a restaurant, if the decoration is good, it will naturally attract diners. If the restaurant’s dishes are good enough, there will be many repeat customers.

With all these factors combined, the flow of people will naturally not be small.

no doubt,

This was the case with Chen Jiazhi this morning. He had returning customers from selling vegetables in the past few days, as well as new customers attracted by the grand occasion.

He got the most traffic.

Also the fastest opening.

"Damn, this water spinach is so pretty, how much is it for?"

"The choy sum is also very standard. How much is it, handsome?"

"These loofahs are really good too. Damn, they're gone so quickly. Vegetable farmers, why are you picking so few loofahs? Can't you get more?"

The beams of flashlights flickered in the vegetable baskets, and people came one after another to ask for prices.

Chen Jiazhi repeated his shouting from time to time.

"Luffa is 8 cents, bitter melon is 9 cents, ordinary choy sum is 1.3 yuan, cowpea is 7 cents, green beans are 8 cents, and water spinach is 7 cents."

"No bargaining, no bargaining."

"If you think it's too expensive, you can go to the side and bargain."

Chen Jiazhi brought a pen and a notebook, and he wrote down every delivery order and whether the money was collected or not in the notebook.

After a while, a series of lists were recorded.

With a rough gesture, he ordered one-third of the dishes for this wave of customers, which highlighted his impressive performance.

Liu Minghua helped him deal with some small orders of miscellaneous fish, weighing and settling accounts on the spot.

The passenger flow comes in waves.

Some people who thought the price was too high or the crowds were troublesome went to the side, where Yi Dinggan and others had worse Chinese water spinach, which cost 0.65 yuan.

When someone bargains, I won't be so stubborn anymore. If the customer wants more dishes, I'll lower the price.

There was a lot of rain recently, so many people chose the fast-growing water spinach, and now it is time to start producing it in large quantities.

Prices are not as strong anymore.

Even Chen Jiazhi could sense that water spinach shipments were much slower than choy sum. But the price of choy sum remained strong, and someone else was interested in ordering 30 kilograms of choy sum for tomorrow morning.

After a while, the monk appeared again, took away his pork choy sum, and still personally supervised the packing of the dishes. Finally, he left 128 yuan.

I come here every day and never feel tired.

At about 3:30, the flow of the first batch of customers eased a little, and Chen Jiazhi continued to pack the dishes according to the orders recorded in the notebook.

Liu Minghua carried a bag of vegetables and delivered them one by one.

Today's fiery scene opened Liu Minghua's eyes. The back of his clothes was already soaked with sweat, and he almost didn't stop for a moment after the start.

Constantly taking orders, packing vegetables, weighing, taking orders, delivering goods... the cycle repeats over and over again.

The last time he sold vegetables with Chen Jiazhi was in early April when Chen Jiazhi harvested the vegetables early. It was not as hot as it is now.

It was a pity that the vegetables were sold out at that time.
But nowadays, the roots of Chinese cabbage are thick and even, and the roots of water spinach are also thick and long. Not only are they of good quality, but the yield is also obviously not low.

The price is also very good.

No matter how you sell these dishes, you have to make money.

But Chen Jiazhi has more than one kind~
It seems like he is very happy to receive the money.

Then think about himself. If he hadn't passed this crop of water spinach on to Chen Jiazhi, and he had gritted his teeth and persevered until the harvest, would he be able to grow vegetables as beautiful as Chen Jiazhi's next crop?
I'm afraid not.

And Suzhen probably won't be able to hold on until then~
Not every persistence will lead to a turnaround, as the technological gap is too big.

"Boss, your choy sum has arrived."

According to the license plate number, Liu Minghua found the truck carrying the Chinese cabbage, and the monk happened to be there too.

The monk looked at the full plastic bags, which were neatly arranged with no signs of collapse, and nodded slightly.

"Put it on the ground first."

"How about I load you into the car?"

"No, I told you to put it on the ground. If I mess it up later, you'll be responsible!"

The monk scolded, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart. These small vegetable farmers just had no idea and couldn't find their place.

If the big vegetable market had not suddenly run out of stock, he would not have come to such a small market to buy goods.

Fortunately, there were no problems these days.

Liu Minghua didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed the instructions, put the vegetables away, and went back to the stall to deliver the next order.

When Chen Jiazhi told him where to deliver the next order, he also asked about the delivery situation of the Chinese cabbage. This is currently the largest customer, with 80 kilograms of Chinese cabbage every day, and 1.6 yuan per kilogram. The income is more than 100 yuan a day, which is quite good.

Liu Minghua told the situation truthfully.

"It's okay. The monk is a bit picky and looks down on us small vegetable farmers. You do whatever he says, and you are not wrong."

Chen Jiazhi has a very good attitude.

If you want to really stabilize a customer, it may take more than ten days or half a month. You have to deal with the other party severely at least a few times to prove your ability.

From 4 to 5 o'clock, there was another wave of customers, and the Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts were sold out, leaving only some water spinach.

The others are basically sold out.

What little is left can only be spent as time goes by.

"Chen, the vegetable farmer, are you selling water spinach cheap? If you sell it cheap, I'll sell it to you."

Curly Cabbage stood in the middle of the road, two or three meters away from his stall and shouted.

"Not for sale."

"Okay, you keep waiting."

Curly Cabbage Head didn't say much and walked forward. Chen Jiazhi flipped through his notebook and noticed that Curly Cabbage Head only took Chinese cabbage and loofah today.

I didn’t want the water spinach.

But he asked again this time, and his water spinach should be better, and he was still thinking about the curly cabbage.

Chen Jiazhi did not lower the price of water spinach and did not sell out until 6 o'clock. Yi Dinggan and others had already gone back.

After processing more than 600 to 700 kilograms of vegetables in one night, Chen Jiazhi and Liu Minghua were already exhausted.

Seeing a mobile stall selling noodles in the market, Chen Jiazhi called out, "Boss, two bowls of noodles here."

After eating a bowl of noodles, Chen Jiazhi took out 15 yuan and gave it to Liu Minghua.

"We'll continue tomorrow morning!"

Liu Minghua didn't expect the wages to be paid daily. He was stunned for a moment, took the money, and reminded him, "Be careful when you go back."

He couldn't imagine how much money Chen Jiazhi made from selling vegetables that night.

"Don't worry, when it's daybreak, I'll just take the main road back."
