Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 10 Selling

The next day, before it was fully light, Xia Shiyu got out of bed. She checked the time; it was a little past 5 a.m. She packed her things, ate breakfast, and it would be about time to go to the market.

Yu Juan also quickly washed up and came over to help. The two of them worked together to lift yesterday's vegetables onto the truck. They had already lifted quite a lot yesterday, so there were only some left today.

After finishing their business, Xia Shiyu and Yu Juan ate some hot steamed buns and set off.

Fortunately, Xia Shiyu can drive a tricycle and a small truck, so she drove this vehicle herself. However, she was more careful than before. It was just before dawn, and when she arrived, she was able to meet the residents who were coming to sell their vegetables early in the morning.

Because the truck was quite large, Xia Shiyu parked it on the highway outside. Fortunately, the city management officers there rarely checked, and they mostly turned a blind eye. However, she still needed to go and obtain some relevant permits later.

Without further ado, once they arrived at the location, Xia Shiyu and Yu Juan set up their stall, took out the weighing equipment, and affixed the QR codes.

After everything was ready, she took a picture of the truck and posted it in the WeChat group.

[Everyone can come and buy groceries now; there's a lot available today.]

Wow, the boss is here so early! I'll get ready and head out the door.

[There's so much food, I'll go later, it's too early now.]

Since it's only 7 o'clock, many people have decided to come later. Of course, there are also elderly people who get up early and get excited when they see the food arrive, and they want to go out.

"Mom, where are you going? Breakfast is all ready, isn't it?" Chen Wenwen looked at her mother with some confusion.

Chen Aiying smiled and picked up her basket, ready to go out. "It's that little girl who sold vegetables the other day. I'm in a hurry to buy vegetables."

Chen Wenwen was pleasantly surprised to hear this. "Really? You must buy more of these. This dish is really delicious. We didn't have enough last time."

Chen Aiying happily replied, "Okay, Mom will go buy it for you right away. The girl said that her family has a lot of ripe vegetables this time, so we can buy quite a lot."

After saying that, she rushed out the door. She couldn't be late. Although there looked like a lot of food, it was quite popular.

There were quite a few elderly people who shared the same thoughts as Chen Aiying, so Xia Shiyu's side soon welcomed its first wave of guests.

Xia Shiyu had just sent the message when she saw someone coming this way.

The man who came was Wang Qi. When he went out to buy vegetables that day, he saw a lot of people gathered around buying this vegetable, so he joined in the fun and bought it. His cooking skills were average, so he just stir-fried it and then took it to the hospital along with other vegetables and rice. When he arrived at the hospital, his wife heard that he had bought a small cabbage for eight yuan a pound and that he had bought it. She pointed at him and scolded him for being wasteful.

But after taking a bite, he found the taste to be quite good, and his improved mood made him feel much better. Wang Qi also tried a bite and thought it tasted really good.

After they finished eating, they both felt it was worth the price, so the wife asked him to buy more next time they saw it, since they had some money and wanted to enjoy themselves in their old age.

Fortunately, Wang Qi had joined a WeChat group that day, so he learned about the news immediately and rushed over to buy vegetables.

Seeing that there were indeed quite a few vegetables in the car this time, and two different types, he said directly, "Give me two pounds of bok choy and three pounds of water spinach. The money has been transferred."

Xia Shiyu smiled, found two plastic bags, weighed them, and put them in. She didn't need Yu Juan's help for the time being. "Okay, here are your groceries."

Wang Qi happily accepted it, and didn't forget to ask, "Boss, will you be able to supply these vegetables for the next few days?"

Xia Shiyu looked back at the vegetables in the carriage with some uncertainty, but still said, "Grandpa, we harvested several thousand kilograms this time. It won't sell out so quickly, so don't worry. Besides, I'll be growing other vegetables later, and they'll all taste just as good, so don't worry."

After listening, Wang Qi thought for a moment. Most vegetables couldn't be sold so quickly. He figured the five pounds he had would last him two days, and he could just come back to buy more later. So he nodded and left.

After the old man left, Xia Shiyu was immediately greeted by other regular customers, and several middle-aged women came over together.

"Quick, quick, this is the place I told you about. The vegetables grown by that little girl are delicious."

"Aifang, is that right? I've heard you raving about how delicious this restaurant is these past few days. You can't be lying to us."

"That's right, that's right. I've heard you talking about it all this time. I'm going to see how delicious this dish is today."

Several middle-aged women walked over while chatting. Lan Aifang greeted them with a smile, "Young lady, we've come to buy groceries."

The other middle-aged women who had come with them also gathered around, tapping and inspecting the fresh bok choy and water spinach with great satisfaction.

"Wow, Aifang wasn't lying, this dish really is good."

"The leaves do look so tender, not bad at all. I'll buy them to cook at noon."

Lan Aifang said proudly, "That's right, I know every place in this market where you buy vegetables, and this vendor's vegetables are definitely from this vendor." She even gave a thumbs up as she spoke.

"Your coming is a great act of loyalty from your old sister."

"Okay, okay, you're amazing."

The group of middle-aged women laughed and joked for a while before starting to buy groceries.

They didn't give a precise price of 8 yuan, which suggests they already knew about it beforehand.

Even if they had some doubts, they only bought a little too little. Xia Shiyu and Yu Juan weighed the vegetables and collected the money, quickly packing them up for them.

After that, things gradually got busier, with regular customers constantly coming back to buy groceries.

This surprised the other people in the market. At first, they saw Xia Shiyu and his companion driving a small truck loaded with vegetables and displaying them outside. Some of them glanced at them out of curiosity, only to find that ordinary bok choy and water spinach were selling for eight yuan per kilogram.

The nearby stall owners all thought Xia Shiyu was joking. How could anyone set prices like that in business? They were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Only the others who had seen Xia Shiyu selling vegetables before vaguely understood that this young girl was really good at making vegetables.

But as customers kept coming to Xia Shiyu's stall, carrying vegetables and walking back with satisfied smiles, they were all stunned.

Then everyone started to feel envious; it seems this young girl is really talented at such a young age.
