1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 70 The fun is over
After finishing a cigarette, Chen Jiazhi stood up and walked to the edge of the cement dam. He looked into the vegetable field for a while. It was completely silent, with only the chirping of cicadas and birds.

It was not until the light behind him came on and the sound of the door opening was heard that Chen Jiazhi turned around to pack the dishes.

It is relatively easy to carry vegetables with two bicycles.

The market is still booming, and as soon as you arrive at the market, you will be surrounded by buyers.

When other vegetable farmers saw that he had hundreds of kilograms of vegetables, they were secretly shocked. How much could he sell them for in a day?

Chen Jiazhi and Qi Yongfeng were familiar with loading vegetables, weighing, collecting money, and delivering the goods.
The food came out very quickly.

There was no sign of price loosening, and Chen Jiazhi kept pocketing the money.

After paying, an old customer asked with a smile, "Chen, the vegetable farmer, how many vegetables do you have left in your field? How long can you keep selling hundreds of kilograms every day?"

The person who was speaking was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. He was a little fat, and the last digit of his license plate was 377. He was a generous person. Last month, when the water spinach market was at its peak, Chen Jiazhi had forced the vegetable into his car many times.

Chen Jiazhi replied, "Water spinach will only be sold for 3-4 days, but Chinese cabbage will be available. You can buy Chinese cabbage then. Chinese cabbage should not be out of stock in the future. You can always have it if you want."

377 said in surprise, "Sure, Chen the vegetable farmer, come and have a smoke. I'll come get the vegetable hearts later."

In fact, many customers would rather have choy sum, but Chen Jiazhi doesn’t have much in stock and it’s not easy to buy outside, so they have been using water spinach instead.

Knowing that Chen Jiazhi will gradually increase the supply of Chinese cabbage in a few days, old customers like 377 are quite tempted.

Chen Jiazhi also proactively provided this information.

Choy sum is the main variety later.

It’s best to make your name known as soon as possible.

Just like in his previous life in the wholesale market, many customers left him the WeChat note not with his name, but with Chen Caixin.

Such customers basically order his food for years.

Now I am slowly labeling myself like this, so that when customers mention Chinese cabbage in the market in the future, they will think of me, and my reputation will be almost established.

While walking in the market, 377 happened to see a customer buying water spinach from an old vegetable farmer.

I asked about the price and felt relieved when I learned that it was 2.6 yuan per catty.

Chen Cainong is still very sensible.

When the market was bad, he took care of Chen Vegetable Farmer's business. Now that the market is booming, Chen Vegetable Farmer not only guarantees his goods stably, but also every time there is a price increase, he will raise the price for him a few days later, or not raise the price at all.

This is the tacit understanding between the two, and it is very comfortable to cooperate with them.

At about 3:30, Chen Jiazhi saw the monk as scheduled. "Boss, look at the goods. They are all high-quality Chinese cabbage. A total of 82 kilograms, 246 yuan."

Xu He shone a flashlight on it and found it was evenly thick and looked very beautiful. He said, "Well, it's okay."

Then he paid the money, instructed the delivery and left. It was much simpler than before.

Chen Jiazhi was stunned.

Although he had intended to "deal with" the monk several times, this first time was not over yet!
Hey, brother, where is your pride?

Don’t you mind that I’m a small vegetable farmer?
He didn't know what was happening behind him, but he felt like he had punched cotton.

According to his plan, the first lesson for the monks would come after the rainstorm, the second on June 18th, and there would be another typhoon each in July and August. If all else fails, there's still the end of the year.
It means repeatedly pressing the monk to the ground and rubbing him.

As a result, before the first time was over, he felt the change in the monk's attitude. Now he was not very approachable, but he was not arrogant either.

This left Chen Jiazhi feeling a little unsatisfied.

Only the curly cabbage made him look forward to it, although he still came to get the water spinach today and his attitude was very kind.

However, Chen Jiazhi felt that this guy was simply flexible and temporarily dormant like a harmless little snake.

But once the supply of vegetables picks up, it may suddenly attack and bite people at any time.

Chen Jiazhi was actually looking forward to it.

People always have to have some fun.

Otherwise, it would be boring to just sell vegetables and collect money every day.

Well, not boring either.

After selling the vegetables, Chen Jiazhi felt the thickness of the money in his bag and felt that he was a little ungrateful.

Is it boring to sell more than a thousand yuan a night? He looked at Yi Dinggan and Qi Yongfeng who were standing beside him. They had been complaining many times that vegetables were more expensive than meat.

Especially when I sold 82 kilograms of Chinese cabbage to the monk for 246 yuan, the hot and humid air seemed to be filled with a strong sour smell.

Such a night of selling vegetables only makes him feel full of harvest.

At a roadside noodle stall in the market, Chen Jiazhi called out, "Boss, three bowls of pig intestine noodles, each with a fried egg."

"Good,"

Yi Dinggan shouted again, "Give me two more knots, Yongfeng, do you want more? We're going to fight the local tyrants today!"

Said it with confidence.

Qi Yongfeng felt a little embarrassed, so Chen Jiazhi said, "Boss, add two more knots each."

Yi Dinggan said, "I finally feel a little better. Watching you selling vegetables made me feel miserable all night."

Chen Jiazhi retorted: "You will feel even worse if you can't see it in a few days."

Thinking of the Chinese cabbage that was killed by the workers with herbicides, Yi Dinggan almost broke down. Fortunately, after Chen Jiazhi said this, he was on guard and stayed away.

After eating some noodles, he went back to the market. As expected, Li Xiu was waiting at the door again.

After Chen Jiazhi gave her the money, she happily counted the money. When Chen Jiazhi finished his shower and walked to the door, she whispered in his ear:
"I sold it for 1321 yuan this morning!"

The uncontrollable excitement in his tone refreshed Li Xiu's cognition again and again.

How can it be sold for so much money?
A pig can't manage so much money, right?
While she was stunned, Chen Jiazhi felt the warmth beside her ear, turned his head and kissed her on the lips.

Li Xiu patted him and looked around. Many vegetable farmers had seen him and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Chen Jiazhi laughed and said, "What's wrong with me kissing my wife? It's not like I haven't kissed her before."

The other vegetable farmers all laughed, and Li Xiu retreated into the house.

Chen Jiazhi shouted, "I've had breakfast. I'm going to dig the ground for a while and then I'll get the car."

Another response came from the room: "I just took a shower. Do you want to take a nap first? It's cool now and it's nice to sleep."

Chen Jiazhi already had the hoe on his shoulder: "It's cool here, so it's suitable for digging."

When he went out, Qi Yongfeng followed him with a hoe.

The two of them went to field No. 7 to continue cultivating the land. The Chinese cabbage they planted yesterday was in field No. 5, which was only 0.25 acres.

Now that there is more land, the sowing area of ​​each batch of Chinese cabbage can be increased a little bit. By sowing 0.5 mu every two days, we can basically guarantee more than 500 kilograms of Chinese cabbage every day.

A very substantial serving size.

Based on the 25-day growing period of Chinese cabbage in summer, plus the time for turning the soil and drying the land in the middle, one crop is 30 to 32 days.

Theoretically, only 7 to 8 acres of land are needed to achieve the circular operation.

Even considering factors such as rain and the extended growing season in autumn and winter, his 17 acres of land still has enough room to grow.

This room for development means that while ensuring the basic daily output of vegetables, we can also focus on meeting the key vegetable demand nodes.

Provide the most vegetables when prices are highest.

In addition, the cowpea seedlings he bred No. 6.3 are also growing well and are expected to be transplanted in mid-June.

After digging for three or four hours, it was almost nine o'clock and my clothes and pants were soaked again.

Ao Dehai and Qi Yongfeng began to water the seedlings, while Zhao Yu and Huang Juan were thinning them out. Chen Jiazhi took Li Xiu, who was also thinning out the seedlings, back home and picked a small bag of cabbage hearts.

"I'm going to get the car. You don't have to go out. Prepare the rope for tying the water spinach at home and listen to the radio for a while. You can almost cook."

Chen Jiazhi took a quick shower, took the money, said goodbye to Li Xiu, and rode his bike out. Li Xiu stood at the door and shouted, "Slow down."

Then I listened to the sweet song happily~
At the same time, the monk had just come out of the hotel and received face-to-face recognition from Chef Shi in the kitchen.

After confirming it again and again, he found that the cabbage from Chen vegetable farmers always tasted better.

Big food market?
Small vegetable farmer?
He was a little dazed.
