Chapter 410 Going to the city to sell vegetables
After coming out of Mr. Zhang’s place, Zhang An went to Zhang Jianfeng’s house and looked at his fourth grandfather.
Finally, I went to my two uncles’ houses and divided the things I brought out before heading back home.
When he got home, he found that his old mother had just hung up the phone, as if something happy had happened, with a happy smile on her face.
"Son, come here and I will tell you something."
Wang Fang saw Zhang An coming back and immediately waved to him and called him over.
"What's wrong, Mom, something happy has happened again, and she is smiling so happily."
Zhang An was a little confused, but seeing his mother so happy, it must not be What a bad thing.
"When you didn't come back just now, Uncle Zhu called us and asked about our peppers and cucumbers. He said that there were many people who wanted to buy them. He asked how many we had left. If there were more, let's give them to you. Let’s get some at home.”
Wang Fang was so excited when she said this, she was not ambiguous at all if she could make money.
Normally she would be very happy to sell a few eggs at home, let alone the business coming to her door now.
"Your Uncle Zhu said that our chili peppers are more fragrant than those sold in the vegetable market, and they mature earlier, so he set a price of one yuan per catty for us, and the same price for cucumbers and cucumbers. I was thinking about it. The peppers in our house will get old in a few days if we can’t finish them. It’s better to pick them and sell them, and we can continue to receive new peppers, so I agreed to him.”
Usually at the vegetable market in the city. , a pound of green peppers only costs 30 to 40 cents each, and cucumbers and green vegetables and melons are even cheaper.
Zhu Yuliang gave this high price, which was several times higher than usual. If it were Zhang An, he might still hesitate.
But it was Wang Fang who answered the call just now. She was never ambiguous about making money, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.
"In this way, we will pick it up when we get up tomorrow morning, and then you can send it to them."
Before Zhang An opened his mouth, Wang Fang had already made up the overall plan.
"Mom, there are not many people in the Forestry Bureau. How many kilograms can they buy together?"
There are only dozens of people in the Forestry Bureau, even if one person buys it Ten kilograms is equivalent to two to three hundred kilograms.
It takes so much time to go back and forth on this road. Even if the price is very high, Zhang An doesn't want to run away too much.
"I said Lao Zhu is the same. He doesn't tell me where I am and only calls when I get back."
"You don't have to worry about this, he has already told me , let us pull at least five hundred pounds over there. Anyway, you can just send it to me honestly tomorrow."
Wang Fang knew that his son was addicted to laziness when he looked at Zhang An's look. But she won't coddle Zhang An like usual.
The price they offered was so high, it could sell for hundreds of kilograms at a time. Where could such a good job be found? She didn’t want to let it go.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
Wang Fang picked up the call and found that it was Su Ying's mother who was calling. She immediately laughed and said hello.
“Hey, mother-in-law, I heard from Xiaoan that Xiaoying’s father is not feeling well. Is there nothing wrong?”
“It’s nothing, but she has a bad appetite. Xiaoan has already checked it with him. I got some medicine and came back to cook it today, and Xiaoan brought so many vegetables over today. He ate deliciously at night, even more than usual."
Wu Qiuping's voice came from the other end of the phone. , the two old sisters laughed and talked about homely things.
“By the way, in-laws, Xiao An brought me food today, and other colleagues in the unit saw it. They asked me to ask if there was still enough food at home. If there was any, they Everyone wants to buy some.”
The two sisters talked on the phone for a long time about the child in Su Ying's belly, and finally Wu Qiuping talked about the reason for calling.
"Hey, there are people over there who want it too. The Forestry Bureau just called and said they want to buy our peppers and cucumbers. What a coincidence. In-laws, take a look at your unit. How many people want it? I’ll ask Xiao An to bring them over tomorrow.”
Wang Fang would have been very happy to have made the money from the Forestry Bureau.
Now that she heard that someone from Su Ying’s mother also wanted it, she was even more happy.
Anyway, a sheep is being herded, and so is a group of sheep. I will pick more tomorrow and let Zhang An pull them over together.
“Then it’s all delicious grown by you. Everyone wants to buy it after seeing it, but I haven’t really counted the number of people. I don’t know how much it costs, but we here want to buy it. There are quite a lot of people. Everyone who saw me today spoke, I estimate there are about sixty or seventy of them.”
When Wu Qiuping was at the unit today, she didn’t think to ask everyone about their intentions first. .
When I asked her how many people she needed, it was really hard to decide, but after thinking about it, she told Wang Fang an approximate number of people needed.
"Sure, I'll pick some more tomorrow and ask Little An to pull them over. It doesn't matter what's left, just let him pull them around on the street and sell them easily."
Although Wu Qiuping did not give a specific number, Wang Fang thought that the number of people was so much larger than that of the Forestry Bureau, so he must want a lot.
When all this is added up, it will cost thousands of pounds.
Fortunately, when she ordered peppers, she planted more peppers, planting half an acre of peppers.
And their chili trees are also impressive, each one is full of flowers.
If it weren’t for normal peppers, I probably wouldn’t have been able to pick so many after picking them.
After finishing the matter, Wu Qiuping was about to hang up the phone, but just as Su Ying finished correcting her homework and came down from upstairs, Wang Fang said, asking Su Ying to take the phone and say a few words to her mother. talk.
Su Ying was thinking of taking some time to make a phone call today because of Su Shaowen's affairs.
Now Wu Qiuping called. She took the phone, said a few words to her mother, and then asked Su Shaowen, who was boiling a jar of medicine, to come over and answer the phone.
It's fine when you don't answer the phone, but it's bad when you answer the phone.
Su Ying kept catching her father on the phone talking about his drinking problem.
Now she is an ancestor-level figure at home, so Su Shaowen did not dare to say anything back.
In the end, it was only after he signed a series of contracts about drinking that Su Ying let him go with satisfaction.
Zhang An watched from the side, sighing and shaking his head, but did not dare to make a sound.
He originally wanted to bring some of the good wine at home to his father-in-law, but looking at it now, he may not be able to tolerate the wine.
"Mom, where are you going?"
After making the phone call, Wang Fang changed her shoes and prepared to go out.
“We will need so many peppers and cucumbers tomorrow. Our family will definitely be too busy. I have to find someone quickly.”
If it was only a few hundred kilograms, Zhang An’s family picked one Picking can be done in two hours.
But now we need so much, and we have to prepare it in the morning. With just three people at home, it will definitely be too late.
But Wang Fang is not panicked at all. She is very familiar with this matter and can complete it with just a few people.
“No more, I’ll go find someone first, otherwise it will be inconvenient when everyone is asleep.”
Seeing his old mother leaving in a hurry, Zhang An let her go.
When the big dogs at home heard Wang Fang opening the door, they got up from the pen and wanted to follow, but Wang Fang drove them all back to the pen.
Because the dogs in the village are all afraid of them, if you take them out at night, the whole village will be very noisy.
Zhang An returned to the room and found Su Ying holding the camera he brought back today.
"Stand there, I'll take a picture of you."
Su Ying raised the camera, pointed to the wall, and asked Zhang An to stand over. "Better say goodbye. It's not good to take pictures like this. When you get out of school tomorrow, let's go out and I'll take some pictures for you."
Zhang An looked at the white walls. It's a bit familiar. If you add a scale, the picture will look interesting.
Su Ying just picked it up to look at it, not for learning.
Although I don’t have it at home, Chen Ze and my aunt’s family have it.
Su Ying used to go to school in the provincial capital and was often exposed to this stuff.
When Zhang An got up the next morning, the person Wang Fang was looking for last night had already arrived at his door.
She also wanted to prepare breakfast for Su Ying, so she asked Zhang An to take everyone to pick vegetables in the vegetable field.
Zhang An thought for a while, and instead of looking for nylon bags, he picked up a bunch of large bamboo baskets and took everyone to the fields.
Because there was a drizzle in the morning, now whether the peppers, cucumbers or cucumbers are covered with water vapor.
If you put it in a nylon bag, it will be easily covered, especially if you have to run for several hours on the road, so it is not as breathable as a basket.
It is easy to get things done when there are many people, especially the few people Wang Fang found are very diligent.
They carried their own baskets on their backs. They picked one basket in a short while and dumped it into Zhang An's big bamboo basket.
While everyone was picking them, they were still discussing how delicious the peppers were.
When next year, you must come to Zhang Anjia to plant spicy seeds.
When it was almost done, Zhang An came out of the field and started to carry it into the car.
At this time, the advantage of strong strength can be seen. Holding the basket with two hands, you can easily lift it.
Otherwise, it would take two people to lift the fully loaded bamboo basket, which weighs more than 200 kilograms.
At ten o'clock, Zhang An felt that it was almost done, so he shouted to stop.
Wang Fang originally planned to cook the meal in advance and let Zhang An eat before going.
But Zhang An is planning to leave now and arrive in the city before twelve noon.
It happened to be when I got off work at noon, and I could still catch up with the canteen for dinner, so there was no need to waste time at home.
After all, he has to go to two places today. If he goes late and waits for others to start working in the afternoon, he will have to wait.
Not seeing any cars along the way, Zhang An stepped on the accelerator and arrived in the city earlier than usual.
It was only early eleven when we arrived at the Forestry Bureau, not yet the time to get off work at noon.
"Oh, you came so early. Can you pick so many this morning?"
Seeing Zhang An coming so early, Zhu Yuliang was quite surprised.
Because they had to be picked fresh, he thought Zhang An could only come over in the afternoon.
"I need help, otherwise I would still be in the fields now. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first. We will be able to weigh ourselves after get off work. But as we agreed, you have to come and help me. Weighing, otherwise I won’t be able to do it alone.”
Zhu Yuliang started this thing with his mother, so Zhang An would not let him go and wanted to drag him into trouble.
"What's the rush? I'll wait until get off work gets off work and then go eat after weighing everyone. We only have dozens of people here, so we can weigh you as you like and we can finish it in a few hours."
Zhu Yuliang looked at the time and saw that there was still a while, so he was not in a hurry to follow Zhang An to the cafeteria.
"No, no, no, after we finish here, we have to drag them to my mother's place. Their unit needs more people, otherwise you think I would drag so many here."< br>
It won’t take much time just here, but there is also the mother-in-law’s place.
They are very strict and cannot do anything else during working hours.
So Zhang An had to deal with this quickly and go directly.
Otherwise, Zhang An would have to wait after they go to work in the afternoon.
"What? I thought they were all brought to us. I was also thinking about buying one for twenty or thirty pounds later."
That car was obviously more than five hundred. Zhu Yuliang thought Zhang An's family had picked too much.
He was just thinking about buying more from Zhang An today.
Yesterday he finished the cucumber Zhang An gave him in the office, leaving only some green peppers to take back.
His wife used those green peppers to stir-fry two dishes last night. Unexpectedly, his daughter ate several more bowls of rice.
If there are any leftovers later, just ask the canteen to collect them all, just in time to improve the food for everyone.
But Zhang An said so, this idea probably won’t work.
“I still have plenty in my land. If you really want it, go over there and take as much as you want.”
Regardless of whether Zhu Yuliang agreed or not, Zhang An pulled him directly out of the office and went to the cafeteria to start a fight.
"Okay, okay, okay, let me go on my own. My old bones can't stand your torment like this."
Zhang An dragged Zhu Yuliang away quickly, letting him Zhu Yuliang complained repeatedly. He felt that this would be impossible if there was no personal grudge.
"I know the trouble, if you don't call my mother to trouble me, I will trouble you."
The two came to the cafeteria, the food was ready, and they were waiting for everyone get off work.
Although it was not yet time for dinner, when they saw it was Zhu Yuliang and Zhang An, the uncle in the cafeteria directly served them two meals.
It took ten minutes to finish the meal. It was time to get off work at noon. Zhang An went outside to prepare, and Zhu Yuliang went inside to inform everyone.
After a while, a bunch of people didn't even eat, and they all ran out and surrounded Zhang An.
“Don’t crowd, come one by one, those behind will go to eat first, they will definitely be able to buy it, and you guys, hurry up and get food for everyone, otherwise what will everyone eat?”
Zhu Yuliang had to speak out, otherwise everyone would stay around.
Even the uncles and aunts in the cafeteria all came out to watch.
They watched as it was time to get off work, but they couldn’t see anyone going to eat.
I ran out to take a look and found that everyone was shopping for groceries. When I saw what was on Zhang An’s car, I also came over and crowded together.
With Lao Zhu maintaining order, the situation was relatively stable.
It took less than an hour to finally send this group of people back.
This group of people all wanted to buy more as they said before, and everyone bought more than ten kilograms.
After all, it will take some time for the pepper to grow up. If you don’t buy it now, you won’t know when it will be next time.
