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

Chapter 35 Selling Leeks

[Xia Xia's Vegetable Selling Group 1]

[Xia Shiyu: Selling vegetables! Fresh and delicious chives.]

Wow, these chives are delicious! I'll use them to make chive pancakes.

[Dumplings, let's eat dumplings!]

[Mr. Xia, you'd better hurry, I'm leaving now.]

Upon seeing the message, Han Zibin sat up happily. "Mom, I went out to buy groceries. Mr. Xia, the tomato seller from last time, is here."

Hearing the noise, Han's mother came out. She thought something was wrong and hurriedly urged her son to hurry up and go buy groceries. "Then hurry up and go, or you won't be able to buy anything if you go late. I'll cook with what I have."

"Okay." Han Zibin nodded happily and ran out.

The last time he went out to buy groceries, he didn't know what to do and just went to the place with the most people. When he got back, his mother looked at the 36 yuan he had spent and was very displeased. She thought he didn't know how to manage a household. Even his father laughed at him, saying he would never buy groceries like he did.

But after eating the tomato dish, he fell silent and just ate faster. His mother praised him highly and told him to always buy vegetables from this store in the future.

So when he saw Boss Xia selling vegetables again, he was extremely excited and ran out to buy some.

That's how Xia Shiyu welcomed back her regular customers.

Han Zibin eagerly ran to the boss, but he was stumped when he saw the vegetables. He had run down after the boss said there were vegetables, without paying any attention to the pictures behind him, and only now did he realize that they were chives.

"Well, it seems my sister and her family don't like eating chives."

Xia Shiyu looked at the person in front of her and said with a smile, "Don't your family like to eat this? My chives taste pretty good. You can buy some and try them."

Han Zibin thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. They may not eat it, but my parents and I do. Boss, give us two pounds."

"Okay, that's 30 for now, here you go." Xia Shiyu quickly weighed out the dishes and handed them over.

Most of the chives were tied very evenly, and each bundle weighed about a pound, which made it easy to calculate. If there was a small amount of chives, she would just remove the rest.

"Okay, boss, I've turned it around." Han Zibin showed his phone to Xia Shiyu and then left.

At this moment, the others also strolled over and walked straight over when they saw Xia Shiyu and the lush green chives next to him.

"Oh, boss, you've finally arrived! Wow, boss, you're amazing! This chives are really good."

"Yes, these chives are perfect for making fillings, but they're a bit pricey at 15 yuan per pound."

Xia Shiyu smiled, and she usually only replied with a few words when it came to greetings or other topics.

Of course, Xia Shiyu didn't even need to say anything. Someone next to him said directly, "Don't you know the quality of the boss's food? You can't buy such good food for the same price. Besides, when I stayed at my son's place before, a bunch of chives in the supermarket next to their community could sell for 4.50 yuan. I don't think the taste was necessarily as good as Boss Xia's."

"That's true. A pound of chives is quite a lot. We can make a lot of dumplings or something with it. I was just saying that."

Of course, other customers also asked other questions, and Xia Shiyu had to reply to them.

"Boss, why are you only selling chives today? What about your other vegetables?"

"Boss, why don't you plant some radishes and soybeans in the back? Your vegetables are perfect for me to use in cooking."

"Yes, ever since we started buying groceries from your store, my picky child has stopped being picky and now eats everything with gusto. His health has improved a lot."

Xia Shiyu explained, "These chives are freshly stir-fried and sold quickly, otherwise they will become too old and won't taste as good as they do now. Also, my truck is small and can only carry chives. Once I buy a bigger truck, I can carry more."

"Okay, boss, you can just buy a big truck later."

The surrounding customers chatted and laughed as they bought some chives, but not many, since they were just a side dish. Most of them planned to use them to make noodles or stir-fried eggs with chives.

When Xia Shiyu had sold more than half of her products, she decided to move to another market. She rode her tricycle around the city for a while and found a small vegetable market on the other side.

Of course, she has been here before. Although some people are afraid to approach because of the prices she sets, there are still quite a few repeat customers.

Xia Shiyu felt she needed to go to the city this time. She had planted more than three acres of chives, and since her chive seeds were high-yielding, each acre yielded about four thousand catties of chives, totaling more than ten thousand catties. She could take them to the city to inquire about the situation.

After selling all the chives for the day, Xia Shiyu returned home, while Xiang Jianzhu returned to his small shop in the city.

As soon as Xiang Jianzhu returned, he drove straight to his small shop. He planned to put the chives in the shop's freezer, but of course, the best way to deal with them was to sell them as soon as possible.

When he got back, he saw his wife tidying up the table. However, he looked around the shop and saw that there was practically no one there. So he pulled his wife to sit down first, wanting to talk to her about the chives.

Zhang Yan sat down absentmindedly, and seeing her husband's happy expression, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

She felt that the business was getting worse and worse recently and wanted to persuade her to sublet the shop.

My eldest son is already in his second year of high school and will soon graduate and go to university. My youngest daughter is in junior high school. As a result, we can't even earn 10,000 yuan a month at the store.

A family of four earns less than 10,000 yuan a month, which is a very tight budget. They also need to save some money for their child's education or for emergencies.

So she wasn't optimistic about the shop anymore. The two of them felt it would be better to transfer the shop out and let him find a job on his own, at least they could make up for some of the losses after the shop was transferred.

Xiang Jianzhu didn't see what his wife was thinking. Instead, he pulled her to sit down and showed her the chives he had brought in.

"Look, honey, how's this chives?"

“These chives are quite good.” Zhang Yan was a little puzzled, not knowing what he was trying to say.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Jianzhu excitedly explained, "Oh, wife, you didn't understand what I meant. These are chives that I specially bought from my neighbor in the countryside. They taste absolutely amazing. Let's use them as filling for buns and dumplings."

Zhang Yan took this to heart, but then hesitated, "Is it filled with chives? But I feel like fewer students are eating chives these days."

This wasn't just something she made up; she had indeed inquired about the students' tastes. Quite a few students ate chive-filled pasta, but not many. Most were just picky eaters who didn't like it, including her own two children who didn't like chives.

So she doubted whether this would work, since the fillings for noodles and breakfast shops in the area are usually made with cabbage and pork or corn and pork.

"Sigh, honey, the reason these kids don't like to eat it is because regular chives aren't that tasty. But this chive is different. I dare say it's the kind of chive that can be served in a five-star hotel. Once you've tasted it, most people will absolutely love it."

After Xiang Jianzhu finished speaking, seeing that his wife still didn't believe him, he decisively said, "We'll make a batch of dumplings to sell tonight and this afternoon. You can try them and see how they are, then you'll know."

After listening, Zhang Yan stopped talking. Xiang Jianzhu was in high spirits, so she figured she might as well give it a try.

So she took out the dumpling wrappers she had kept in the refrigerator and prepared to chop the filling and make dumplings.
