Chapter 26 Shopping
The two rode their tricycle to the vicinity of the vegetable market. They also notified each other through a WeChat group. Now, the number of people in her WeChat group is increasing, and she will soon be able to create a new group.
Xia Shiyu happily set up her stall by the roadside, took out plastic bags and scales, placed them next to her, and then put on price tags before she could start selling.
The person hasn't arrived yet, and while waiting, Xia Shiyu chatted casually with her mother.
"Mom, I'm planning to get a certificate for selling agricultural products and some other paperwork. Later, we can also lease the mountain to grow fruit trees and other vegetables and fruits. You and Dad can come and help me then."
"Is it feasible? Isn't it a bit too early now? Maybe we should wait and develop it further." Yu Juan was still a little surprised. She hadn't expected her daughter to have such big ambitions. She thought she would just rent a greenhouse in the village for the time being, but she didn't expect her daughter to want to rent an entire mountain.
Xia Shiyu wanted to explain further, but seeing customers walking towards them, she simply said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll tell you when we get back."
Yu Juan also decided to put aside her own thoughts and join in serving the customers.
"Hello beautiful, what would you like to order? We have three kinds of dishes here today."
Lu Ming'an stared at the three dishes in front of her, quite surprised. That's right, she was the first customer today. Ever since she had the tomatoes last time, she had been thinking about this restaurant. She originally planned to go to the owner with her colleagues after get off work, but the owner had already gone home.
I had to ask an older woman who had bought vegetables here to help me get added to the group. After waiting for two days, I saw that Xia Shiyu was setting up her stall today. Even though it was the weekend and her day off, she rushed over.
After arriving here, she saw that there were still bok choy and water spinach in front of her. She remembered that she had seen other people discussing these two in the group before, and they seemed to taste pretty good. However, she didn't like bok choy, so she decided to just buy some water spinach and tomatoes.
"Boss, give me a pound of water spinach and five tomatoes, that'll do."
"Okay, do you want to choose yourself or I can just grab whatever I want?"
"You can come anywhere."
Lu Ming'an let Xia Shiyu choose with peace of mind. The owner was an honest man who wouldn't shortchange her or mix in any rotten vegetables, so she felt very reassured.
"Okay, that's 53 yuan in total. Thank you for your patronage." Xia Shiyu handed over the vegetables from the bag.
"Okay, okay," Lu Ming'an said happily as she took the dishes and left. These dishes would be enough for her to eat for a while, and she could finally satisfy her cravings.
Shortly after she left, the others arrived, and Chen Aiying even chatted happily with Xia Shiyu.
"Boss, you've finally arrived! I wasn't home when you were selling tomatoes last time, and I really wanted to try them after seeing the photos in the group chat. Well, I finally made it this time."
Xia Shiyu smiled, "Auntie, this time there's enough for you, I guarantee there will be some."
Chen Aiying laughed heartily, "Haha, great!"
Meng Lian also rushed over. She now carries the hopes of her whole family. Last time, she bought only two tomatoes because she thought they were too expensive, and her family didn't get enough to eat. This time, everyone told her not to be stingy and to buy more.
So this time, she generously asked the owner to give her a pound of each vegetable, including three pounds of tomatoes. Although her heart was bleeding when she paid, she was satisfied when she saw the vegetables.
Many people share this thought: although it's expensive, it tastes delicious, so they have to reluctantly give it up.
Xia Shiyu watched with a smile as she observed the customers' pained yet satisfied expressions. Beside her, a little devil was acting up. She thought to herself, "The customers better get used to it, because I'll be getting even more vegetables and fruits from now on. Be careful, your wallets are going to shrink!"
Logically, the vegetable vendors had gathered a large crowd today, attracting some onlookers to buy their produce. However, Xia Shiyu often set up his stall in this location, and the people coming and going were already familiar with him, so there were few new customers.
She thought she would have to move the stall to a different location to attract new customers so that her vegetables could sell better.
They sold out quickly this time, and since it was still early, only a little past ten o'clock, Xia Shiyu dragged her mother shopping and ate in the city, so they didn't have to go back to cook.
Xia Shiyu took her mother to the shopping street and strolled around. Soon, Xia Shiyu handed one of the two cups of milk tea to her mother. Her mother usually only cared about eating and didn't have much need for clothes or anything like that.
Yu Juan also felt that they had enough clothes at home and there was no need to buy new clothes. However, when Xia Shiyu saw the mobile phone store, he still dragged his mother in to buy a mobile phone.
Yu Juan felt it was unnecessary. "Forget it, I don't use my phone much anyway, there's no need to go in and buy a new one, it's just a waste of money."
"You can't do that, Mom. Look at your phone, it's so laggy that it's not even convenient to watch short videos. Let's buy a new one. We don't need anything expensive, we just need one to use."
Xia Shiyu forcefully dragged her mother into the mobile phone store. She's not short of money now; she made several thousand yuan selling vegetables today.
As she walked in, the salesperson at the mobile phone store came up to them and made recommendations.
Xia Shiyu chose a domestic mobile phone with good battery life, no overheating, smooth operation and durability, and spent more than 3,000 yuan.
Yu Juan thought it was too expensive and that she would be fine buying a phone for a little over 1000 yuan, but Xia Shiyu decisively bargained and paid for it.
After coming out, she handed the phone to her mother, saying, "Oh, you can keep it. It's fine to use it for a few more years."
"Oh, you silly child, alright, alright."
"Haha, Mom, let's go eat grilled fish. I remember that place is pretty good."
Xia Shiyu dragged his mother to a famous grilled fish restaurant and ate grilled fish before getting into the car to go home.
After getting into the car and going home, Xia Shiyu first went in to check on how the radishes were growing. She found that they were almost ripe, but she would have to wait two more days to inoculate them, so she had to come out first.
She felt like there was nothing else to do besides working in the fields, but since she had hired help in the fields, she didn't have to worry too much.
Xia Shiyu felt somewhat helpless and planned to sit and relax for a while, but when she thought about going out for a walk in the afternoon, someone walked into the courtyard.
