She excitedly said to Chen Daguo: "Uncle Chen, since you trust me, why don't you also give me these vegetables from Grandma Wang on credit!"
"I'll give you whatever the city's purchase price is! When I sell these vegetables later, I'll make up the difference. What do you think?"
Chen Daguo thought this was a good idea.
He was worried about his old lady walking such a long way to the city every day to sell vegetables.
Besides, she can't sell out all the products every day.
If Gu Mingzhu took all of them at once, the price would be lower than retail, but at least it would save trouble, and the couple would feel relieved!
He thought about it and went straight to ask his old lady.
Grandma Wang was not happy at first.
But when she heard her son say that the person who was going to buy her vegetables was Gu Minghua's sister, she immediately changed her mind.
Before Gu Mingzhu asked why, she said, "Minghua is a good kid. He was afraid that it would be unsafe for an old woman like me to go out, so he would come to the door of my house every day before dawn to wait for me."
She continued, "I walk slowly, so I have to set out before dawn. But he walks fast, so there is no need for him to get up in the middle of the night. He just wants to wait for me!"
"He's a good kid, and he's your brother. He's not bad, and you're definitely not bad either."
The old lady believed in herself, and Gu Mingzhu was also happy, "Grandma Wang, let's weigh how many of these dishes you have now, I'll write them down first!"
"If I sell it tomorrow, I'll give you the purchase price!"
As soon as the old lady nodded, Chen Daguo immediately weighed all the dishes.
Thirty kilograms of Chinese cabbage, ten kilograms of rapeseed hearts, and ten kilograms of lettuce.
Chen Daguo put all the dishes on the cart and said, "Push it back later and return the cart with the dishes tomorrow!"
Gu Mingzhu wrote down the number, thanked him, and then pushed the dishes home.
When Gu Minghua saw her pushing so many dishes back, he was dumbfounded, "Sister, where did these dishes come from?"
Two acres of their vegetable garden were occupied, and he randomly scattered some seeds on the remaining two acres, but nothing grew at all!
"I bought Grandma Wang's vegetables." Gu Mingzhu briefly told him about her plan. "I've thought about it. In the next period of time, I will farm and sell vegetables at the same time. As long as I work hard, I will be able to make money."
In fact, selling vegetables is just a cover.
She mainly wanted to sell the radishes from the two acres of land in the space!
But there was not even a single weed in her field, and if she didn't accept other people's vegetables, she couldn't sell them openly!
Now that she was a vegetable vendor, she could just sell the radishes from the field for money!
Otherwise, how long would she have to eat the radishes from the two acres of land! ?
When he heard that his sister was going to sell vegetables, Gu Minghua said hastily, "Then I'll go too!"
"no!"
Gu Mingzhu refused him without a second thought: "I told you before that your current task is to stay at home and recuperate. When your injury is better, you can continue to go to school!"
"When you have a holiday, there will be plenty of work for you to do!"
After she finished speaking, she carried radishes and eggs into the kitchen.
Peel and shred the radish, fry the eggs until both sides are golden brown, and set aside.
Put the pan back on and when the oil starts to stir-fry, add the shredded white radish.
When it's almost done, she pours the eggs in, adds hot water, covers the lid and cooks for two or three minutes.
Add some chopped green onion and salt, and the white and fresh radish and egg soup is ready.
This meal did not include any meat or fish, but Gu Minghua was very satisfied.
He touched his round belly and said with a smile: "Sister, we haven't eaten so full in a long time!"
Gu Mingzhu wiped his mouth and whispered, "I promise you, our family will never go hungry again!"
She has both the system and the space in her hands. If she lets this little guy starve and freeze, she will be unworthy of the golden finger given by God!
After dinner, Gu Mingzhu charged the electric car, set the alarm clock, and then took the little one to sleep.
Maybe he was too tired, the little guy fell asleep immediately after eating and drinking.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, when the alarm clock rang, Gu Mingzhu got up immediately.
She took out fifty carrots from the space.
After washing all the radishes and loading them onto the electric tricycle, she then tied up the radish tops.
It is difficult to grow vegetables nowadays, but even radish tops can be dried and used as pickles.
As long as it can be sold for money, Gu Mingzhu doesn't want to waste it.
After preparing the radishes, she piled the harvested vegetables on top and covered them carefully with a urea bag to prevent them from being dried out by the wind and becoming unfresh.
…
The village is about 6 kilometers away from the county town. Gu Mingzhu rode for half an hour to reach the wholesale point.
Prices are high these days, and ordinary vegetables on the market retail for around 17 or 18 yuan per pound.
If you sell in bulk, the price will be lower, but it will still be around twelve or thirteen yuan.
The vegetables that Gu Mingzhu brought today weigh less than 200 kilograms. In fact, as long as she shouts and speaks sweetly, she can basically sell them all out by selling them for a whole day.
But her purpose is not to make a few more dollars from retail sales.
She wants to sell in bulk!
Otherwise, if I sell 50 a day, it will take me forever!
At this time, there are already many farmers at the wholesale point. They put the vegetables neatly in order, waiting for the vendors to pick them.
It was Gu Mingzhu's first time here. She was not familiar with the prices and was not in a hurry to sell, so she just rode her electric tricycle around twice.
After this detour, she got a clear understanding of today's market conditions.
The wholesale price of white radish is 11.5 yuan, and the retail price is around 16.5 yuan.
After she found out the price, she found a place to park the car.
As soon as I stopped, I saw a vegetable vendor on the opposite side and a few others surrounding an old lady and cursing at her.
The leading trafficker said: "I'm not trying to embarrass you, you're just not keeping your word!"
"We agreed last month that you would supply me with 2,000 kilograms of vegetables today. I have already paid you the deposit! Now you tell me there are only 1,000 kilograms! Aren't you forcing me to die!?"
The old lady also looked embarrassed: "Boss Zhang, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you!"
"It's really hard to grow vegetables in the past two months. I worked hard to plant two acres of land and took good care of it. It's great to get 1,000 kilograms!"
"Why don't you wait a few more days? The vegetables will probably grow a little bigger in a few days..."
Boss Zhang stamped his feet anxiously, "If I can wait, I won't rush you! The boss said that we must have 10,000 kilograms of vegetables today!"
"And now it's not just you who's running out of food. It's the restaurants I made appointments with who can't produce any food! They all said it's too cold and the food won't grow!"
"Then, what should we do?" The aunt was almost crying.
Seeing that both of them were extremely anxious, Gu Mingzhu walked over and asked quietly, "I have some radishes, do you want some?"
