EBE Chapter 186 Greenhouse Vegetables Enter Y City
Chapter 186 Greenhouse Vegetables Enter Y City
He often asked himself anxiously.
But now I have let it go.
Third Aunt is there to take care of them. Even if he has a low level of education like my father, hasn’t Third Aunt pointed him in the right direction?
If I can get into high school, that's fine. Even if I can't, as a junior high school graduate, I'll still be a top student in the countryside.
Aunt San needs such talents to help with management.
With the help of the masters at Shuguang Agricultural Airport, the Zhou brothers quickly completed the remaining procedures.
A week later, vegetables started to be delivered into the city by tractors, which greatly increased the speed and saved manpower.
The original tricycle had to make two or three trips back and forth to deliver vegetables, but now it can be done in just one trip.
When they come back, they can also bring some customers along the way. The Zhou family is not greedy and will give them 1 yuan or 5 cents at will.
If you are really short of money, you can even smoke a cigarette.
Over time, it will cover the cost of diesel.
The task of expanding the greenhouse was directly assigned to carpenter Qiu Da, with Hong Ge and Shi Tou from the engineering team helping him.
After going back and forth for half a month, the two brothers began to get restless.
Sunday.
8 o'clock in the morning.
The important members of the engineering team began to hold a meeting.
The second son, Zhou Jianping, spoke first, "I've already inquired at the bus station. They have two buses going to Y City every day.
They are 7:50 in the morning and 1:50 in the afternoon respectively.
It lasts two hours.”
Boss Zhou Jianming said, "We can take advantage of this period of time to follow behind them and prevent them from getting lost!"
Zhou Hongwei, who was preparing to take notes, glanced at his younger brother Hongbo, and there was some laughter in the eyes of the two boys.
Their father has never been to the city even once.
I just want to sell the vegetables there to make money, haha!
Zhou Hongwei stood up and said, "Dad, I suggest we set off this afternoon."
Boss Zhou looked at his son happily, "Hongwei's idea coincides with mine.
If we leave in the morning, it will affect the supply to the county town, and the greenhouse vegetable team will be too busy to handle it."
Zhou Laoer, "Yes, there is a disadvantage to shipping in the morning. By the time we get to the city, it will be around 10:00.
By that time, people have already bought their vegetables, and the farmers won’t want ours anymore.”
Zhou Hongbo enthusiastically joined the discussion, "When we go to the city in the afternoon, it's almost 4:00. That's when the vegetable farmers come out to buy the next morning's harvest. We can seize the opportunity."
Zhou Laoer's big hand touched his son's head, "Hongbo's analysis is good!"
When the two brothers were in the city, Hongwei and Hongbo were in charge of all matters in the countryside.
There was no mistake at all.
More useful than the two women at home!
Qiu Da immediately stated, "You two brothers, go ahead. I'll take care of the house. Whenever you come back, I'll deliver the vegetables from the city on my tricycle."
After the meeting, Qiu Da went to notify everyone in the vegetable greenhouse one by one.
The members of the vegetable team who were cultivating the soil, watering and weeding went home for dinner after finishing their work.
It's not even 12 o'clock yet, but everyone has already come to work.
The long cowpea stalks were weighed one by one, and each pound was tied with rags.
Fresh and neat leeks, green garlic branches and leaves, crisp baby spinach, tender soup vegetables, and beautiful evergreens are all bundled in weights.
Purple lentils, all-season beans, eggplants, wild rice stems, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green peppers, all weighing ten pounds, are packed in a net bag.
After a busy period, all the goods were neatly stacked in the walk-behind tractor.
Originally, Boss Zhou wanted to bring more, but was opposed by his son Hongwei.
"Dad, it doesn't matter how many we bring the first time. We're just trying to find a way. We can follow this path and bring as many as we want in the future."
Zhou Jianming, "Alright! We only hope for success this time!"
At 1:30, Zhou Jianming drove a hand tractor and waited on the roadside outside the station.
Zhou Jianping sat cross-legged in the tractor cabin, his body close to the vegetables.
An old blanket was covering the vegetables.
The two people waited excitedly.
Finally, a bus drove out of the station.
The two brothers saw clearly that there was a red arrow pointing directly to City Y, and that was him.
Zhou Jianping jumped out of the car and shook the handle desperately. As black smoke came out, the tractor began to vibrate.
Zhou Jianping jumped onto the bus immediately, and Boss Zhou operated the handrail to keep a distance from the bus.
Along the way, the two men took turns driving, and Zhou Laoer drove the tractor and stopped on the road outside Ya City Station.
Ask passers-by about nearby vegetable markets.
When the two brothers heard that there were several vegetable markets in the city and none of them were too close to here, they were in a dilemma.
So I drove the tractor a little further into the city and arrived at a busy place.
There is a residential area and a factory here, but today is a holiday, and there is no one in the factory except those working overtime.
Zhou Jianping parked the car on the side of the road near the factory, jumped out, and added some diesel to the tank.
Zhou Jianming lifted the blanket and spread it on the ground beside the curb, and put some of each fresh vegetable on the blanket.
They were prepared to wait here for something to happen.
The vegetables at home are good, so the two brothers plan to sell them retail until tomorrow morning before going home.
It was almost 5:00 when someone walking finally came over to ask about it.
A 50-year-old woman said, "Oh, this dish is really good. It's already this time of year, why are there still small soup dishes like this?"
Boss Zhou quickly and proudly introduced, "These are vegetables we grow at home, grown in a greenhouse. The price is a bit higher, but there is no vegetable that cannot grow."
Auntie, "How much is this soup per pound?"
Zhou Jianping: "1 cents per pound."
The old lady screamed, "What? They sell it for a few cents a pound, why are you selling it for 1 cents?"
Zhou Jianping patiently explained, "It's free to grow in a greenhouse, right? Building a shed costs a lot of money.
Otherwise, how can we harvest so many fresh vegetables in this weather?
Look, there are quite a few summer dishes here!"
Auntie, "Can you give me a discount? How about 1 cents? I'm not giving you less."
Zhou Jianming, "This is our fixed price, not a cent in return."
This was discussed at home.
If the price is too low, it will remain at this level in Y market and there will be no way to go back up.
So even if they can’t sell out, they won’t lower the price.
Unless you are here for wholesale.
