1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 80 I don't know how to catch up
Since they started harvesting Chinese cabbage, Ao Dehai and his three companions have been crouching with their backs bent, moving swiftly and quickly.

Although Boss Chen ordered 1150 kilograms of Chinese cabbage, four people may not be able to harvest it all.

He also said that when he was in a hurry, he would not care about commission and would definitely bring Qi Yongfeng and Huang Juan to help.

If others collect an extra pound of vegetables, they will get 3 cents less in commission.

Therefore, the four of them were reluctant to stop for a moment in the middle of the journey, just to complete the task as quickly as possible.

Huang Juan, who was picking red amaranth alone, was also very passionate. Qi Yongfeng followed her to the market for a few days and had already been conquered by Chen Jiazhi.

The income that was getting higher day by day, as told by Qi Yongfeng, also made Huang Juan excited.

I just feel that choosing to work for Chen Jiazhi was the right decision.

The most tired ones are Chen Jiazhi and Qi Yongfeng.

After getting up in the afternoon, Chen Jiazhi first took out the bulk kale and mustard seeds he bought and dried them in the sun before he and Qi Yongfeng went to water the plants.

Watering is not an easy job.

I come home early in the morning and have to work in the fields during the day, so I don't have time to buy a water pump, water pipes, and wires.

However, it is faster when two people water together. One person stands at one end of the bed, and neither of them is willing to admit defeat or fall behind.

There was a strong energy in his heart and in his hands holding the dung scoop, and he poured water vigorously and persistently.

He would only stop to smoke a cigarette and catch his breath after watering a batch of vegetables.

After watering another batch of seedlings planted in early June, Chen Jiazhi, leaning on a dung scoop, couldn't help but say, "Can you slow down a bit? You won't be satisfied until you get rid of me, right?"

Qi Yongfeng chuckled and said, "Okay, then I'll use a little more strength. Actually, I only used 70% of my strength."

Looking at that somewhat smug look, Chen Jiazhi was both angry and amused. In terms of brute force, he was indeed far inferior to Qi Yongfeng.

If he just takes a little time off, not only will Qi Yongfeng feel relaxed, but Chen Jiazhi will also feel good.

As a result, he had to be suppressed.

But the employees were very active, so Chen Jiazhi had to hold it in until he could no longer hold it in and then he admitted his mistake.

By the time the two finished watering, it was completely dark and Li Xiu had been sent back by Chen Jiazhi.

But there were two other spots in the vegetable field where headlights were shining.

Chen Jiazhi said to Qi Yongfeng, "You go help Huang Juan, I'll go to Ao Dehai."

Amaranth is in plot 3, some distance away from plot 6.

Amaranth is a small quantity, but the roots need to be washed and tied into bunches.

Chen Jiazhi’s task for Huang Juan was to collect as much as possible, as selling them all would be no problem anyway.

It was almost 11:7 in the middle of the night when Li Xiucai, who was waiting at home, saw Chen Jiazhi and seven others coming back with vegetables.

The other vegetable farmers had already fallen asleep.

Several people also looked tired and only talked in low voices occasionally. Baskets of vegetables were the results of everyone's hard work.

Li Xiu took out the gift boxes that she had prepared in advance from home and gave them to Zhao Yu, Lai Guihui and Huang Juan one by one.

"You've worked hard. Go back and have a rest early."

The three families were a little surprised and delighted, but they did not refuse. Instead, they happily accepted it. It was the first time they received holiday benefits, and the fatigue of the day seemed to dissipate a little.

Chen Jiazhi also gave cigarettes to the three men and said to Ao Dehai and Ao Deliang, "Be careful when you go back."

Ao Dehai looked at the dishes scattered on the ground and said, "Zhao Yu and Gui Hui, go back and boil some water first. Deliang and I will stay and help load the car. We can go back after we're done. It won't take much time."

There are a lot of dishes.

The tricycle can carry the load without any problem, but these are leafy vegetables, which take up a lot of space and need to be stacked high and tied tightly.

It's not easy for two people to install it.

Ao Dehai's performance once again surprised Chen Jiazhi. His eyesight was quite good.

So the four men started loading the tricycle together. For safety reasons, Qi Yongfeng hung an iron frame on his bicycle and helped carry the vegetables.

Chen Jiazhi also took the time to soak the kale and mustard seeds in warm water, and then wrap them in cloth to germinate for a few hours during the day tomorrow, so that they can be sown in the evening.

As they loaded the truck, Yi Dinggan, Li Mingkun, Guo Mancang, and other vegetable farmers also got up and loaded their vegetables. Li Mingkun and Guo Mancang always had vegetables to sell, but only in small quantities, usually only 20 to 30 kilograms, and sometimes only 50 to 60 kilograms.

Under the current market conditions, if you go to the market, it will be sold out in less than 10 minutes.

However, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so the three of them harvested more vegetables to sell, but they only barely reached 100 kilograms.

Seeing that Chen Jiazhi's tricycle and bicycle were both packed full, he completely gave up the idea of ​​competing.

This gap is like a chasm.

There is no comparison.

After packing the vegetables, Chen Jiazhi and Qi Yongfeng went straight to the market without even taking a shower.

Ao Dehai and Ao Deliang saw several cars disappearing on the road, and they were also impressed by Boss Chen's tenacity.

Growing vegetables during the day and selling them at night, and getting better and better step by step, and the business getting bigger and bigger, few people have this ability.

The houses the two people rented were not far from each other.

After Ao Dehai entered the room, he heard Zhao Yu say, "In addition to the rice dumplings and salted duck eggs, there are also 20 yuan in the gift box."

"That's pretty good." Ao De was also stunned, then smiled and said, "You can also send a few gray rice dumplings to the boss lady tomorrow."

...

It’s still that corner against the wall.

The old customers at stall No. 18 estimated the time and came to wait in advance.

With yesterday's experience, everyone was not so anxious, but when the familiar tricycle appeared at the entrance of the alley, some people still shouted.

"Chen the vegetable farmer is here!"

Today's dishes are more spectacular than yesterday's. People shine flashlights on the carriage and see red amaranth and green vegetable hearts intertwined with each other, which makes everyone very satisfied.

The vegetables grown by Chen Cai Nong are of reassuring quality.

The car was parked against the wall. Chen Jiazhi intentionally controlled the speed on the way, so he and Qi Yongfeng arrived at the market one after another.

He looked around at the guests, seeing many familiar faces, and called out, "It's still the same as yesterday. Boss Wu, you go first!"

At stall No. 18, Boss Wu pulled the cart closer, and Chen Jiazhi and Qi Yongfeng got off and started to weigh the goods.

In addition to 100 kilograms of ordinary Chinese cabbage, the amount of high-quality Chinese cabbage also increased to 100 kilograms, contributing a total income of 580 yuan to Chen Jiazhi.

Then there was the monk, or 200 kilograms of premium choy sum, 600 yuan~
Neither of them asked for red amaranth.

Maybe they didn't know he had it in stock, so they ordered it from somewhere else.

The two big customers bought 400 kilograms of vegetables. Then Chen Jiazhi saw Chen Ze and gave away his 200 kilograms of Chinese cabbage and 40 kilograms of amaranth. The Chinese cabbage was still 3 yuan, and the amaranth was 2.4 yuan, for a total income of 696 yuan.

Suddenly, half of the vegetables were gone.

Li Mingkun and Guo Mancang stared at the scene in a daze, and they could hardly remember how Chen Jiazhi had hooked up with these big clients.

Yi Dinggan remembered what Chen Jiazhi had said about stability two days ago.

Stability is above all else.

Everyone knows that he has leafy vegetables for a long time.

So when leafy vegetables are scarce in the market, many people will think of him first.

And he can fill this gap.

Naturally, we can continue to win high-quality customers, further strengthen trust, and gradually form a virtuous circle.

Yi Dinggan has always been optimistic about Chen Jiazhi. In addition to his temper, it is also related to various factors such as the fact that he has studied for a few more years and is better at thinking.

It's just that his performance now is a little beyond his understanding.

Progress is rapid.

She overtook him in an instant, and the gap between them widened rapidly. He didn't know how to catch up.
