1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 45: Hurry up and serve the dishes
The emerald green stems and leaves of water spinach swayed like waves in the moonlight, and the chirping of insects and frogs sounded alternately.

Chen Jiazhi, Li Xiu, Ao Dehai, and Zhao Yu all breathed a sigh of relief under the cover of night.

"Huh~ I finally finished harvesting this piece of vine vegetables." Li Xiu said with lingering fear.

"How many days have we been harvesting? Four days, right? We've been cutting every night for the past two days, but we just can't harvest. The crops are growing too well."

"Boss Chen, how many kilograms did you harvest from this plot of land?"

All three of them looked at Chen Jiazhi.

After fully growing, the yield of the big-bone green tea was so high that even Chen Jiazhi was a little nervous.

"The first three days were about 260 kilograms, 280 kilograms, and 380 kilograms respectively. Tonight is a little more than last night, probably 400 kilograms, so a total of 1320 kilograms."

There are three mu of land in total, which means the yield per mu is 4400 kilograms, which is definitely a high yield for a single harvest.

Ao Dehai was amazed and said, "The output is really high."

Zhao Yu also said, "Tomorrow we will finally be collecting the rest of the land."

After competing in hand speed for four consecutive days on the same land, everyone was a little tired.

Chen Jiazhi: "The yield of water spinach in other areas will not be low either. Even if we harvest 400 kilograms a day, we still have seven or eight days to harvest."

"Hahaha, we are not afraid of having too many vegetables, we are just afraid that there are not enough vegetables to collect." Ao Dehai laughed. For the vegetable pickers, the better and more vegetables there are, the higher their income will be. They are just afraid that there will be no vegetables to collect, or that every batch of vegetables will be rotten.

It is a blessing to follow a boss like Chen Jiazhi who can cook well.
Commissions were also added to the two people's wage calculation method.

The temporary commission is 3 cents for every kilogram of Chinese cabbage and water spinach harvested.

Based on the amount of food Chen Jiazhi has served in the past two days, the two of them can earn an extra 10 to 15 yuan per day.

Nearly double compared to the past.

In order to facilitate calculations, the harvesting of Chinese cabbage was entirely handed over to Ao Dehai and Zhao Yu.

When Li Xiu and Chen Jiazhi cut water spinach, they also place it separately.

The enthusiasm of the two was also boosted. When they passed by the vegetable garden, they would pull out weeds and the like.

Watering will not be insufficient.
In short, everyone is willing to participate in all the work and do it more meticulously than before.

Because the amount of food the boss serves is closely related to their income.

It was already past 10 o'clock when he brought the last basket of vegetables home. His vegetables took up the largest space in the dam.

"Jiazhi, there are more vegetables today than yesterday?" Li Mingkun looked up and down at the vegetable basket, counting again and again, secretly shocked.

"It should be more than yesterday." Chen Jiazhi smiled. He had confiscated the cowpeas and green beans since yesterday. Except for thirty to fifty loofahs and bitter melons each, the rest were all Chinese cabbage and water spinach, each weighing three to four hundred kilograms.

A total of 820 kilograms of vegetables were sold yesterday morning.

But the prices of water spinach, bitter melon and loofah have all dropped, so the record was only barely improved, with daily revenue of 788 yuan.

I prepared more dishes tonight than yesterday.

It is also because there are too many water spinach in the field, and the subsequent price is unstable, so Qi Yongfeng and Guo Mancang can help bring more vegetables.

If you don't get ruthless now, will you get ruthless when the price drops again?
After dinner, Chen Jiazhi went to take a shower first, while Li Xiu took out her little notebook to record the working days for Ao Dehai and the other man. This was the task assigned to her by Chen Jiazhi.

She never gets tired of it.

In the dam, there were vegetable farmers who had not yet gone to bed and were constantly looking at Chen Jiazhi's vegetables, all secretly envious.

The food for one person is enough for several people.

The scholar should not be called scholar, he should be called Chen Cainong, which is too fucking horrible.

...

The monk's surname is Xu, and his given name is He. In fact, he has just entered the vegetable supply business, but he has strong connections. As soon as he entered this industry, he got the vegetable supply for big hotels.

Or perhaps it was precisely because of his connections that he chose vegetable purchasing.

"Mr. Xu, I'm Lao Jiang from Jiangxin Vegetable Market. We've recently harvested and put our choy sum and kale on the market. The quality and price are both good. Would you like to come and take a look at the goods tomorrow morning?" "Okay, Lao Jiang, I'm confident in working with your large vegetable market, but I've already booked the goods for tomorrow morning. As a small vegetable farmer, I can't afford it, so it's difficult to break the contract. I can only take your goods the day after tomorrow."

Jiangxin Vegetable Market is a large vegetable market, also in Panyu. It was introduced to him by a friend. I heard that it also supplied Chinese cabbage to Hong Kong for a period of time, so the quality should be guaranteed.

Before, the monk had been getting goods from Jiangxin Vegetable Market, but they were suddenly out of stock some time ago.

Now that it was re-listed, the monk agreed immediately.

In the early morning, when the lights were dim, Xu He walked into the market with a flashlight. The market was small and did not suit his status, but it was close, so he often came here to look for some scarce goods.

This is what the choy sum is like.

"Hey, little vegetable farmer, how much is today's goods? I won't need them tomorrow if I take them today, so I'm telling you in advance."

Chen Jiazhi, who was about to pack the vegetables, was stunned for a moment and said, "Boss, you've been holding my choy sum for seven or eight days. Are you not satisfied with the quality?"

Xu He: "No, I've been checking for seven or eight days, the quality of the choy sum is OK, and there's no problem with the hotel either. It's just that I have a partnership with a large vegetable market, and now that their vegetables are out, I'll definitely give them priority.

You retail investors might run out of food one day, or you might not be able to find anyone in another place."

Chen Jiazhi still wanted to keep her: "The choy sum behind me should be pretty stable~"

"Hey~ weigh it, weigh it. After all, I came to pick up your food today and greet you. I'm already being kind enough."

Nothing.

Another great customer lost.

Chen Jiazhi recorded it clearly in his notebook. Including today, the monk took vegetables for a total of nine days. Except for the first day when there were only 53 kilograms, the rest of the days were about 80 kilograms.

Almost 700 kilograms of Chinese cabbage were sold for 135 yuan today, contributing a total income of more than 1100 yuan.

To be honest, it’s a pity to lose this customer, but this is the limitation of small vegetable farmers.

Fortunately, Chen Jiazhi is not an ordinary small vegetable farmer. He is confident that he can win back his lost customers, teach them a few profound lessons, and then sell vegetables to them steadily.

There are more and more water spinach in the market.

But the price of vegetables dropped yesterday, and it is temporarily stable today, but the price difference between Chinese cabbage and water spinach is too big, so it cannot be stable.

Chen Jiazhi also took the initiative to lower the price. By the end of the sale, the price of Chinese cabbage had dropped to 1.1 yuan per catty.

He has many skills and always has to be flexible.

Most of the 250 kilograms of ordinary Chinese cabbage and 110 kilograms of row Chinese cabbage were sold successfully, and the prices were quite satisfactory.

But in the end, I was still a bit unlucky.

There were more than 40 kilograms of water spinach and more than 10 kilograms of Chinese cabbage that were not sold until dawn.

Curly Head walked over staggeringly. This time he walked very slowly, not at all anxious like he had been in the previous two days.

"Hey, Chen the vegetable farmer, it's rare that you still have so many vegetables at this time?"

"Boss, can you take care of our business today?" Chen Jiazhi is known for his flexibility and is not embarrassed at all. Now that he is weak, he needs to be flexible.

The curly cabbage head was very happy and said with his head held high, "That depends on your sincerity. Can you give me a discount on this vegetable today?"

"Water spinach is 5 cents, and choy sum is 1 yuan."

"I want the water spinach. The heart of the vegetable is not sincere, so I don't want it."

"okay."

I bought more than 46 kilograms of water spinach for 23 yuan. A few days ago, they only wanted the heart of the vegetable but not the water spinach, but today it was the opposite.

Chen Jiazhi smiled on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart, "You'd better not fall into my hands next time."
