Chapter 229 Selling Vegetables
Chapter 229 Selling Vegetables
Han Minghai told Li Lanzhen that everyone wanted to visit Youzhou City.
Li Lanzhen looked at her youngest son.
"Han Mingxiang, what do you think?"
"Mom, it's not appropriate for you to go alone.
Selling vegetables is a long-term thing. You don't have to worry about it in the future.
Let the village solve its own problems.
And the accounts must also be transparent.
Of course no one will doubt you."
"So what?" Li Lanzhen asked after listening to Han Mingxiang's words without making a single mistake.
"So, whoever wants to go can go."
Li Lanzhen was right in thinking, why should she take on so much responsibility?
"I think this is the best way. I will only be responsible for delivering the vegetables to the foot of the mountain next to the official road leading to Youzhou City.
As for how and where to sell it, the village decides! That’s it! "
After saying that, she went to find Han Shunde to talk about this matter.
The three sons looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him.
Li Lanzhen searched around before finally finding Han Shunde in the hall.
The person is quite complete.
"Are you all here? I just happen to have something to say."
No one knew what Li Lanzhen was going to say.
Looking at her in confusion, Han Zhaoxiong poured her a bowl of water.
"Auntie, sit down and have some water."
"It's like this, I thought about it, and we decided to divide the work and cooperate on selling vegetables.
I am only responsible for transporting the vegetables to the foot of the mountain closest to Youzhou City.
Next, you will arrange someone to take over and transport it to Youzhou City.
You guys should be the ones selling the vegetables.
As a woman, I will not participate.”
After saying that, he felt thirsty, so he picked up the bowl and drank a sip of water.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Lanzhen said.
"Why aren't you talking? Also, I still need to find out about our settlement this time.
If there is any clue, I will let you know. "
Li Lanzhen finished what she wanted to say and left.
Han Shunde, Xue Lao Hu and others were discussing the matter.
Xue Lao Hu knocked the table leg with his pipe and said, "I think this is good. We can't let Sister Lan Zhen do everything. She has already given us a lot!"
Zhang Deshui nodded, took a deep puff of cigarette, and exhaled the smoke, "That's right!
We must not become the people of the Forget-Sorrow Valley!"
Everyone was silent!
Han Shunde said, "Okay! Let's do as Sister Lan Zhen said! We'll use backpacks to carry the vegetables to the city!"
Han Dazhong said, "Village head, we can go to the city first to find buyers and let them drive themselves down the mountain to get the vegetables."
……
After a long discussion, they decided on a method for selling vegetables and determined who would be responsible for each link, and then they went back to their homes.
The next day, Han Shunde and his team set out before dawn.
When Li Lanzhen returned home, she saw Han Mingjiang with an unhappy face.
"Mom, I can't accompany you to Youzhou City.
I will stay at home to look after the house.”
Li Lanzhen laughed, "Okay, this is an important matter, a job that no one else can do. You have to take it seriously."
After listening to Li Lanzhen's words, Han Mingxiang also felt that his task was more important.
"Don't worry, mother. I will complete the task well."
Han Shunde was going to Youzhou City with eight or nine other people.
So the security mission of Taohuayuan was arranged.
Xue Lao Hu is in charge of this matter.
Han Minghai, Han Zhaoxiong, Han Youliang and others formed a 20-person guard team.
Xue Bao took Han Youtian and a few others to be responsible for the safety of the people selling vegetables in Youzhou City.
None of the children were taken with them.
Goudan and Han Yinan simply organized the "Red Tassel Spear Guard Squad".
Apart from going to school to study, he also goes on duty and cooperates with Xue Lao Hu and his guard team to guard his home.
The two brothers Han Minghai and Han Mingxiang and Li Xishui accompanied Li Lanzhen to the foot of the nearest mountain next to the official road of Youzhou City.
There were many people going there today, and they left Peach Blossom Spring in two groups.
Li Lanzhen was the last one to come out.
The weather is cold. Li Lanzhen feels that it is at least 10 degrees colder here than in Taohuayuan.
It seems that Taohuayuan is a treasure land!
Han Shunde, Xue Bao and Han Dazhong left first.
They were responsible for going to Youzhou City to find a suitable restaurant to discuss the sale of vegetables.
At daybreak, Han Shunde and his companions arrived at the gate of Youzhou City and lined up to enter the city. They knew that the court was now stable and there was no need to check household registration or travel permits to enter or leave the city, but they were still nervous.
I asked the people standing in front and behind me, and they all said that I could enter freely and they wouldn't check my pass.
Only then did a few people feel relieved.
They entered the city smoothly, and they were sweating with nervousness.
They first went to the market to check out the prices of meat and vegetables so that they had a rough idea of the prices.
Then, I went to Dongcheng District, where people living are either rich or noble.
There are many shops and restaurants.
We found a restaurant called "Sifangke".
Now the waiter at the door of the restaurant saw them carrying the baskets and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
"Dear guests, are you looking for food or accommodation? Please come in!"
A few people came in and sat down, and Han Shunde said to the waiter with a smile.
"Little Brother, we have business to discuss with your boss, could you please introduce us to him?"
When the waiter heard him say that he didn't look down on them when talking about business, he smiled instead.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and call our shopkeeper."
After a while, the shopkeeper came.
If Li Lanzhen were here, she would definitely recognize it.
The restaurant was where Silver Fox took her to live.
"Excuse me, what business do you want to discuss?"
Han Shunde didn't say anything, but put the backpack he was carrying on the table and lifted the quilt to let the shopkeeper see it.
The shopkeeper only took one glance and his eyes were fixed.
"This! This! This is..."
Before he could finish his words, he quickly covered the backpack with the quilt.
With a smile on his face, he said to Han Shunde.
"Everyone, please go upstairs!"
Xue Bao gave a wink and the others continued to sit in the lobby downstairs.
He accompanied Han Shunde to a study on the second floor.
After going upstairs, the shopkeeper sat behind the desk.
The waiter quickly served them tea and brought two plates of snacks.
"Could you please tell me what vegetables you have and how much do they cost?"
Han Shunde took the vegetable samples he brought from his backpack and placed them on the table.
"Please look, shopkeeper. We now have 500 kilograms of leeks, 600 kilograms of Chinese cabbage, kilograms of spinach, and kilograms of sweet potato tips.
In ten days, there will still be about 1,000 kilograms of cucumbers and tomatoes." Han Shunde said, looking at the confused shopkeeper, feeling proud.
As for the price, you decide. If it’s suitable, we can continue to cooperate.”
The shopkeeper then came back to his senses.
"Okay! Our restaurant will take them all! We'll take as many as you have!
There is only one thing, that is, after you sign the contract with our restaurant, you can only supply our restaurant."
Han Shunde suppressed his pounding heart.
Smile and nod.
"Of course, this depends on whether the price given by the shopkeeper is appropriate."
The shopkeeper sat down and explained them one by one.
"Leeks, 2.5 cents a pound, Chinese cabbage, 2.6 cents a pound... Do you think that's appropriate?"
Before fleeing famine, Han Shunde had worked as the shopkeeper of a restaurant in Dezhou City, where Hanjia Village was located, for three years, so he was very clear about the details here.
They went into the city just now to check the vegetable prices, and the purchase price offered by the shopkeeper was just about the same.
Nod and agree.
"Okay! Let's sign the contract."
