Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

"Village Chief Zhang, can you spare a little of this Chinese cabbage to add some green to our table?"

Master Zhu quietly approached Zhang Laoer, lowered his voice, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Laoer heard this and gently swept his eyes over the green cabbage field. He estimated in his heart, "Master Zhu, our village produces and sells our own cabbage. If you need it, just come and pick it anytime. Don't mention whether you want to buy it or not. Our own things are especially dear."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhu's eyes flashed with gratitude, and then he sighed, "Hey, this is an old friend of mine who runs a restaurant in the county. He's recently been having a headache because he can't find fresh vegetables. Rice, flour, and meat are easy to bring in from outside, but green leafy vegetables like these can never be replaced."

I have been hearing that friend's mumblings for years, and when I see these fresh and juicy vegetables in front of me, my first thought is his plight.

Zhang Laoer frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "Well, I'm afraid there won't be much left. After all, the villagers also need to eat, so we can't sell all of it away."

He had already made up his mind that in addition to ensuring the needs of the village, if there was any surplus, he could consider selling it to other countries.

The vegetable seedlings in the back garden will soon grow vigorously.

Master Zhu nodded, his eyes sparkling with hope, "I understand. I'll send someone to give him a letter and ask about his specific needs."

"can."

Zhang Laoer agreed readily.

Naturally, the matter of selling vegetables needs to be discussed with the villagers first.

When talking about being able to eat fresh vegetables grown at home, the villagers' faces were filled with smiles.

Hearing that they could earn some income from it, someone simply suggested selling their own share as well. This suggestion attracted good-natured teasing and envious glances from people around them.

This simplicity and straightforwardness makes people feel both real and lovely.

Zhang Laoer knew the villagers' thoughts very well. According to his character, he would never deliver food to the villagers without their permission.

After spending so much time together, everyone is well aware of this about him.

"Don't worry, folks. We will first ensure that we have enough food for ourselves, and only then will we consider selling the excess."

Zhang Laoer's words made those who had guessed his thoughts earlier smile knowingly at the people who had just started the commotion. Their eyes seemed to say, "See, I told you that Village Chief Zhang would not let you suffer any loss."

The restaurant in the county town responded extremely quickly. As soon as the news reached us, someone came to the restaurant in person in the afternoon.

When the two sides met, they discovered that they had a long history with each other.

Master Zhu hurriedly introduced them, "Village Chief Zhang, this is the shopkeeper Lin I often mention, the owner of the county restaurant. Lao Cui, this is the village chief of our Zhangjia Village, Zhang Laoer."

"Manager Lin, long time no see!"

Zhang Laoer was the first to break the silence, his tone carrying a hint of joy at meeting an old friend again.

"It's you, little brother!"

The shopkeeper also felt that it looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized what was going on.

Master Zhu was standing by, looking left and right, with a puzzled look on his face, "Do you two know each other?"

Zhang Laoer confessed, "A few months ago, I took a few villagers to sell our hunting trophies to him. Yes, at that time, Lao Cui also told us to send our prey to him. Later, for some reasons, we didn't meet again. I didn't expect that today, because of this vegetable business, our friendship would be renewed."

"The fate in this world cannot be stopped even if you want to."

Shopkeeper Lin sighed.

When acquaintances are involved, work efficiency is doubled. Master Zhu saw this and tactfully withdrew from the conversation. "Since you two have known each other for a long time, I won't bother you two to reminisce. I have other things to do."

"Go ahead, we'll talk later."

Shopkeeper Lin and Zhang Laoer have a deep friendship, so there is no need for excessive courtesy. He waved his hand and signaled Master Zhu to do as he pleases.

"Village Chief Zhang, let's go take a look at that vegetable field and talk while we walk."

When Shopkeeper Lin heard his old friend mention that there were fresh vegetables, he rushed over without saying a word to verify the good news with his own eyes.

"Okay, come with me."

Zhang Laoer, along with Guo Jiajie and Manager Lin, headed towards the greenhouse.

The reason why Zhang Laoer brought Guo Jiajie along was that he already had a plan in mind, which was to let him be responsible for external sales in the future.

As for Qi Kai, he has his own business. As the only butcher in the village, he runs a pig farm and has his own sales channels, so he doesn't need to be involved in this work.

Zhang Laoer guessed that Qi Kai had the same idea in mind, otherwise why were several purchasing matters led by Guo Jiajie?

That inconspicuous greenhouse produced a gratifying yield. In addition to satisfying the villagers' food needs for several days, it could also supply dozens of kilograms of vegetables to the town's restaurants.

Although Shopkeeper Lin wanted to buy more, he had no choice but to give up as the other party was unwilling to do so.

However, this crop of vegetables alone is enough for him to make a small profit.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lin couldn't help but feel happier.

Especially when he heard that a new batch of vegetables would be delivered in five days, and other types of vegetables would follow in the future, his smile was almost beyond words.

"Well, it's settled then. I'll send someone to pick up the goods in five days."

"Ok, no problem."

Zhang Laoer thought for a moment and asked again, "Have all the shops in the county town resumed normal business?"

Guo Jiajie and his team haven't been to the city for a long time, so they are relatively isolated from the news.

Shopkeeper Lin lives in the city and has extensive connections, so he naturally knows more details.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Lin sighed slightly, "Compared to the past, it is indeed much quieter, and some stores have even closed down. I'm afraid the situation will not improve until after the New Year."

After he finished speaking, he realized the deeper meaning behind Zhang Laoer's question and looked at him in confusion.

"Village Chief Zhang wants to open a store in the county town? If so, we have to hurry up, otherwise the good opportunity will slip away when everyone recovers."

Zhang Laoer did not give a direct answer, but just smiled indifferently, and then sent Manager Lin to the carriage for the return trip.

Watching the carriage gradually disappearing from sight, Zhang Laoer secretly pondered what Manager Lin said and decided to find an opportunity to go to the county town in person to investigate.

Ever since the logistics team added tofu and bean sprouts, and then cabbage, the demand for working in the mountains has decreased significantly, and the logistics team seems to have more manpower.

Several able-bodied men were transferred to assist the house-building team, but the placement of women, children and young children became a problem.

Aunt Guo found Xu Liyun, hoping she could give some advice.

"Please help me think of a solution. Why does cooking in the kitchen require so much manpower?"

Aunt Guo looked worried. Since she didn't have to go up the mountain these two days, there were suddenly a lot more idle people in the village. Some of them were busy, while others had nothing to do.

It's not that they don't want to work, but there is a lack of jobs suitable for them.

Xu Liyun understood it, and after a little thought, an idea popped into her mind.

Didn’t we hear this morning that Village Chief Zhang was going to the county town?

I might as well ask him for some information on medicinal herb seedlings and tree saplings.

If you can find it in the deep mountains and transplant it back directly, although it is not easy for it to survive in winter, it is still a feasible method.
