Farming and Bend the National Husband

This morning, Xia Jiusheng picked two more baskets of vegetables and came to the entrance of the Sanjie Vegetable Market. The group of aunts and aunts with amazing fighting power quickly finished his vegetables.

Picking up the empty basket to go home, a fat middle-aged man came over and greeted him.

"You are?" Xia Jiusheng asked suspiciously.

This man, well dressed, with the confidence of a superior on his face, should not be an ordinary person.

"Hello, little brother." The man reached out his hand familiarly, shook Xia Jiusheng's hand, and said enthusiastically, "Let's get to know each other. I'm Li Xiechuang, the executive chef of Yucheng International Hotel."

"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Xia Jiusheng." Xia Jiusheng replied.

The International Hotel in Yucheng?He had been, though not in a very glamorous way.However, since the executive chef approached him, it should be related to the dishes he sells, so he was not surprised.

"Then I'll call you Xiaoxia." Li Xiechuang smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. "I'm older than you, you can call me Brother Chuang, that's what everyone I know calls me."

Seeing his smiling face, Xia Jiusheng knew that this was just his way of life, but he still had a good first impression of him.

"Okay, Brother Chuang, may I ask who you are looking for?" Xia Jiusheng asked with a smile.

"It's not because of your dish." Li Xiechuang laughed. "The old neighbors who live in Sanjie Town now, who doesn't know that there is a little brother who sells vegetables every day, and the taste is called a good one. My hometown is from the Three Realms, and my mother has also eaten your dishes. This time I am back. , she whispers in her ear every day that your food is delicious—”

"Really!" Xia Jiusheng pretended to be stupid.

In fact, when growing vegetables recently, he has reduced the amount of water in the space, because someone from the same village also sells them from the Three Realms. If the taste is much better than other people's, it will be difficult to explain.

"Of course, the Three Realms Town is so small, so it spread quickly." Li Xiechuang couldn't tell if he really didn't know or was just pretending to be stupid. "I heard that you have to sell the second load. Do you mind if I go back with you to have a look? If it is really so good, I hope you can supply it to NUS. The price is negotiable."

"No problem." Xia Jiusheng would not refuse such a good thing.

He has opened up the two acres of wasteland behind the house and planted vegetables. The vegetables grown by his mother before have been cleaned up. The five acres of vegetables should be able to supply the National University of China without any problem.

If it is not enough, you can contract a few more acres. There are not many laborers in the village. For those who go out to work, the fields have been planted, and many lands are left unused.

The two crossed the river together, and Li Xiechuang soon arrived at Xia Jiusheng's house in Xia Jiusheng's tricycle.

I introduced brother Chuang to my mother. I heard that he is the executive chef of the International Hotel. Mother Xia hurriedly poured tea and handed him cigarettes, very polite.

For a rural woman like Mama Xia, she would subconsciously behave like this when she met someone with status. Xia Jiusheng was not surprised.

Li Xiechuang didn't dislike him, he was polite, and went to the backyard with Xia Jiusheng, squatted down, and carefully looked at his vegetables.

The whole piece of vegetable is green and oily, which makes people feel comfortable.Li Xiechuang skillfully plucked a green vegetable, broke off a leaf, took it up to his nose and smelled it, and the fragrance of the vegetable flooded into his nostrils. It was the purest vegetable fragrance, without spraying pesticides or adding chemical fertilizers.

Li Xiechuang nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and gave Xia Jiusheng a thumbs up. "Xiao Xia, your vegetables are grown well, they look good, they taste good, and there are no pesticides or fertilizers. They are much better than the vegetables we are buying now."

"Thank you Brother Chuang." Xia Jiusheng smiled.

"Starting tomorrow, let's supply to our National University. The price—" Li Xiechuang quickly made a decision. "Doubling the market price, what do you think?"

"No problem." Xia Jiusheng said straightforwardly.

Although he knew that the price was far lower than the value of the vegetables themselves, but who told him that he was just a small vegetable farmer?

"I don't know how much food the National University needs every day? I'm ready." Xia Jiusheng asked again.

"Well, you talk to the purchasing staff, they have a daily plan." Of course Li Xiechuang will not take care of these trivial matters. "Payment monthly settlement, no problem?"

"No problem. The International Hotel has a big business, and I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the payment!" Xia Jiusheng said.

"That's good." Li Xiechuang washed his hands under the faucet, asked for Xia Jiusheng's phone number, and went to the living room to drink tea. Xia Jiusheng and his mother rushed to put the vegetables into baskets.

Hearing that it can be supplied to National University, the price is double the market price, Xia's mother was so excited that she almost trembled.

My dear, double it, that is, spinach and chrysanthemum are seven yuan a catty, which is the same price as chicken.Chinese cabbage also costs three yuan a catty.

The next morning, Xia Jiusheng made an exception and did not go to Sanjie Town to sell vegetables. Today is the first day to supply the International Hotel, so he must be present.

At eight o'clock, a fresh-keeping container truck stopped at the entrance of the village, and two young people got out of the truck, brought out several large storage boxes, and found Xia Jiusheng's family.

Today is the weekend, and Dad Xia and An An are both at home. They are standing in the backyard, gearing up to help.Especially An An, her health has improved recently, and she feels very energetic. She really wants to do something for the family to prove herself.

Some half-grown children also squeezed into Xia Jiusheng's house when they saw the excitement.

Xia's mother made tea for the two young people and handed them cigarettes, she was very attentive.The two sat down, and their attitudes were considered polite.

Because the boss of the kitchen personally ordered the goods, they didn't dare to take Joe. Who knows if this family is related to his boss?You must know that the boss's home is in Sanjie Town, only a little way from here.

Xia Jiusheng took out some snacks from the house and distributed them to these half-grown children.He hoped to buy them with snacks so that they would come and play with An An more often.

These boys are very well-behaved in front of Xia Jiusheng. Since they were young, they heard that An An's brother is very good at fighting. Whoever provokes him will be beaten up by him.Boys of this age admire the strong most, why don't they envy Xia Jiu'an for having a powerful brother.

After drinking a cup of tea, the leading young man took out a purchase plan and handed it to Xia Jiusheng.

Xia Jiusheng took it over and took a look. It showed the demand for various vegetables.Except for some non-local dishes, he was satisfied with everything else, so he was relieved.

Let the two sit for a while, carry the basket by themselves, and take the family to cut vegetables in the backyard.

After listening to what he said, several children followed behind and asked for help, so Xia Jiusheng followed them.

Twenty catties of spinach, twenty catties of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, fifty catties of begonia, fifty catties of Chinese cabbage, and ten catties of coriander—Xia Jiusheng did the calculations as he walked. The Three Realms sells more than two cars, and of course the money will be more, estimated to be [-].

Quietly stretched out her finger, and made a gesture to her mother, Xia's mother immediately understood, smiled from ear to ear, and whispered in Xia's father's ear again.

An An tugged at the corner of her brother's clothes unhappily, blaming him for only telling his parents and keeping it from herself.Xia Jiusheng pulled him over and whispered in his ear how much money he could make selling vegetables today.

When An An heard this, she immediately smiled.

A ten-year-old child already knows how to count money, and knows what more than 200 yuan means.

The whole family smiled secretly, their hands and feet were not slow, they quickly cut and pulled the vegetables, and they were all ready soon.

After simply washing and tidying up, they neatly stacked them in the storage box they brought, weighed them, made up for the shortfall, and handed it over to the two young men.

The young man wrote a receipt, and tore off a copy to give to Xia Jiusheng. This is the proof for future checkout and cannot be lost.

He went to the field to pick some of the freshest vegetables, and asked the two to take them home to taste.The two declined, then reluctantly accepted.

Dealing with vegetables every day, and using vegetables as gifts, they naturally look down on them.

Xia Jiusheng and Xia's father carried several boxes to the fresh-keeping container truck and sent the purchasing personnel of the National University of China to leave.

The neighbors who were watching the fun looked at Mama Xia enviously: "Your family is so talented that you have already sold the vegetables to hotels in Yucheng City. This car can sell for a lot of money, right?"

"It's not much. It's similar to what Yang Yang sells in the Three Realms every day. It just saves some trouble." Of course, Xia's mother refused to tell the truth, and replied modestly.

"That's a lot. The Three Realms make a fortune, and this will make another fortune. Before long, your family will become the richest man in Xiajiazhuang—" someone moved over and said.

"Where? I still owe a whole lot of debt!" Mother Xia sighed pretendingly.

"Just pretend." Of course they didn't believe it.

After returning home, the village party secretary Xia Guoqing walked over to his house, looked at the lush green vegetables in his backyard, and said enviously, "The backyard of your house is really a treasure of geomantic omen—"

I saw clearly from the side just now that the vegetables loaded into the car weighed more than 200 catties at least, and at the lowest price, it cost 500 yuan.It is said that they sell about the same amount to the Three Realms every day, so they can earn at least 1000 yuan a day.

Xia Guoqing felt a bit of a toothache. How much is his monthly salary for a village party secretary?Although there are other benefits, how much can a poor village like Xiajiazhuang earn, 1 yuan is the sky-high, and people grow vegetables several times more than themselves.

Xia's father handed him a cigarette, "It's okay, we have no other skills, we can only rely on the mountain to eat the mountain."

"That's a good idea. The village is too poor, everyone has to use their brains to find a way out." Xia Guoqing took the cigarette and lit it, and nodded.He said again: "I heard that your food is very delicious, I will also buy a few catties and go back to try it."

Xia's mother took a bag casually, packed a few catties of extra vegetables in the house just now, handed it to Xia Guoqing, and shouted: "Whatever you can buy or not, the vegetables you grow at home, just eat them."

"How can this work?" Xia Guoqing took the bag and took money into it.

"Isn't this a slap in the face? A fellow from the village, how much does it cost to eat a la carte?" Father Xia pushed him away as he spoke, and shouted, "Next time you want to eat, just come and tell me—"

Xia Guoqing was already unbalanced, so he said some polite words when he saw this, and left with the vegetables.

After the village party secretary left, the family sat in the house and discussed growing vegetables.

If supplies are supplied to the National University like this every day, then the current few mu of land will definitely not be enough, and we must find a few more mu of land.

Of course, you can't give up on the business in the Three Realms. Two cars a day is more than 500. There is no such good way to make money.

Xia Jiusheng repeated the old saying that he asked his father to quit his job, and he had to give his father the job of selling vegetables in the Three Realms.He didn't feel at ease when his mother went there. It was too hard for his mother to carry a load of one hundred catties to the other side of the river.

Father Xia thought for a while, and finally nodded.

They also discussed whose land to find. Xia's father meant that the few acres of land of my uncle's house were idle, and they could be planted after talking about it.However, Xia Jiusheng felt that his uncle's land was far away. It was not as good as the one connected to the backyard of his house, which was exactly five or six acres. It was better for farming, watering and fertilizing, and it was more convenient to manage.

Xia's mother also agreed with her son's opinion. After all, it is very hard for three or four people to manage ten acres of land. If they are far away, it will be even more troublesome.Anyway, it is cheaper to rent a piece of land in the countryside, so there is no need to save this money.

In the end, Xia's father also agreed, and let him talk to the owner of the land.

Xia Jiusheng drove a tricycle and took his younger brother to the town. He bought several times as many vegetable seeds and a water pipe truck with wheels. There were more and more land, and the efficiency of watering with wooden buckets was too low.

Passing by the clothing market, I bought two new sets of clothes and two pairs of sneakers for my younger brother.It's November, and the weather has turned cold, and my brother's autumn clothes are not thick enough.

There is a pet shop next to it. There is a cage hanging at the door. There are two fluffy Dalmatians inside. It is estimated that the moon is not yet full. softened.

An An looked longingly at the two puppies, and glanced at her brother tangledly.He hoped that his brother would buy it, but he was afraid of spending money.

"Boss, what breed are these two puppies? How much?" Xia Jiusheng couldn't bear his brother's disappointment and asked.

"Tell me about those two. They are a crossbreed between a Dalmatian and a Dalmatian. They have impure blood, so they are worthless. If you want them, you can take them away for 100 yuan." The boss is a thin man in his 30s, very straightforward, I didn't hide the breed of the dog, so I quoted the price readily.

"Okay, I want it, and give me the cage too, otherwise it's not easy to pretend to be a dog." Xia Jiusheng liked the boss's business style, took out 100 yuan and handed it to him, picked up the puppy and said.

"Of course, the cage was sent as a gift." The boss said seriously.

Seeing that his brother really bought the dog, An An went to pet the puppy happily. The puppy was not afraid of people. It stuck out its tongue and licked it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed its head against An An's hand. voice, seemed to enjoy being stroked.

An An couldn't be happier, and shouted: "Brother, look, the puppy likes me very much?"

Xia Jiusheng patted the back of his younger brother's head, saw his younger brother narrowed his eyes comfortably, and said with a smile: "A dog is just like a human being, as long as you treat it well, it will treat you wholeheartedly."

"Yeah." An'an nodded vigorously. "I will take good care of these two puppies."

Back home, Xia's father and Xia's mother looked at the watering cart bought by their son, and didn't say anything, just asked how to use it.

Where are the two puppies?This is a problem.An An held the two puppies in her arms and had no idea.

Xia Jiusheng looked at his younger brother amusedly, found some broken bricks and planks, and built a simple nest for them in the corner of the front yard.Now it is still small, even the cage can be put in the house.

Seeing that they hadn't been weaned yet and couldn't eat hard food, Xia Jiusheng found a bag of rice noodles and cooked them a bowl of rice noodles. Because they were boiled with water from the space, they were particularly fragrant.

The two puppies were probably also very hungry, sticking their tongues into the bowl and started eating.A large bowl of rice cereal was quickly finished, and the puppy's spirits improved.

Xia Jiusheng handed the dog to his younger brother, went to the backyard by himself, and began to think about how to plant it.
