Wu Lan also cheerfully took out her phone, “What time are you leaving tomorrow morning? I’ll tell them to wait for you at home in advance.”
Song Tan thought for a moment, “Why don’t we have Aunt Baoni come over early tomorrow morning to help me pack the vegetables? Fifty yuan, Mom, what do you think?”
What else could she think?
“That’s a great idea.”
Wu Lan no longer considered fifty yuan for labor as real money anymore.
After all, she gradually realized how good the things at home were. Not to mention everyone has work to do, including herself.
Spending fifty yuan to hire someone to pack vegetables is more cost-effective than delaying tea picking, isn’t it?
Calculating carefully, Wu Lan’s voice messages were especially brisk:

“Baoni, I just spoke to Tantan, she will take you to sell vegetables tomorrow morning. But if you are free, could you come to the vegetable field at six o’clock to help pack vegetables? It will take about an hour or two, and the labor cost is fifty yuan.”
It wasn’t long before Li Baoni’s voice echoed through the phone:
“How could I take the labor cost? Tantan is giving us a lift to the city, I didn’t even bring up money…”
The two went back and forth in the conversation, and Song Tan simply moved to a different place to re-edit the notice she was sending to the group—
[Vegetables for sale! Tomorrow morning at 9:30, Riverside Market, spring onions, garlic sprouts, cilantro, shepherd’s purse, old rule, twenty for a bunch, to ensure the freshness of the vegetables, we cannot wash off the soil, each bunch weighs about three taels, if you mind, please don’t buy.]
[Also, tomorrow morning I will take a video of the vegetable field for you all to see the environment, farm pure green vegetables, without fertilization or pesticides.]
My goodness, the whole group exploded instantly.
Ever since the Milk Vetch season ended, this girl has not been focusing on her business.
There were only those two times she sold bamboo shoots, but now that the bamboo shoot skins were almost completely peeled, she started selling vegetables again.
How could people not eagerly anticipate it?
Even though what she sells are just spices…
But it doesn’t matter!
Shepherd’s purse stir-fried with tofu skins, spring onions stir-fried with eggs and braised crucian carp, cilantro stewed fish soup with beef meatballs, garlic sprouts with double-cooked pork…
It’s a money-saver to eat like this!
After all, a pound of leafy greens will shrink down to a dish once stir-fried, but these side dishes can be sustained over time.
Moreover, if they wish, they could even keep the roots of some vegetables like spring onions in water for them to sprout again.
Perfect!
The crowd was excited, and people sent simple and unadorned applause in the group, but privately, they had already decided how much to purchase!
No more talking, it’s time to check the recipes overnight! I have to head to the vegetable market early tomorrow to get the freshest beef for the meatballs!
Xin Jun had just finished checking Qiaoqiao’s homework and was slowly descending the stairs when his phone chirped with a reminder.
Teacher Xin saw it and couldn’t help feeling gloomy.
He was already living with Lao Song’s family, so why did he have to find out about the vegetable selling through a group notification?
And moreover…
He quickly approached Song Tan:
“Song Tan, about these vegetables you just mentioned, could I buy them wholesale?”
Well… that obviously wouldn’t be possible, right?
Song Tan thought it over, “I have half a mu variety of these vegetables, but I’m not worried about them getting old, I plan to go to the vegetable market every day and sell them slowly.”
It’s like finding something to keep herself busy.
She had finally built up a group for her vegetable selling business, it was important to maintain activity in the group, wasn’t it!
When the bok choy was ready for the market, then she would see if the onions and garlic could still be kept back for wholesale.
Xin Jun was dumbfounded.
There is a saying, “The one who is closest to the water is the first to get the moon,” but even though he was close to the metaphorical building by the water, why was there no chance for him to get the moon?
After thinking it over, Song Tan called out again, “Brother Yanping, we still have plenty of onions and garlic stocked at home, right? After we pull out the vegetables tomorrow, you might as well bury those onions and garlic.”
In any case, they couldn’t give the land a chance to catch its breath; they had to keep up with the momentum!
Zhang Yanping had just finished discussing the menu with Seventh Uncle when he saw a group of about ten people approaching from afar. He confirmed once more:
“For everyone else who wants to eat, we are really not charging them?”
“Not charging.”
Seventh Uncle said with finality, “I only get three thousand yuan a month, cooking for so many people, do you think my old bones are that strong?”
Although that was said, his old bones had actually felt pretty strong lately, and everything seemed rather comfortable.
Zhang Yanping didn’t want to lose the money he could earn and was feeling extremely wronged now, “Seventh Uncle, you won’t even make money when it’s right in front of you? With so many people, that’s quite a sum in a day.”
Seventh Uncle was also smug.
“Young man, when is money ever enough? Your uncle here isn’t short on cash these days.”
What more could be said?
Zhang Yanping watched as a group of people murmured among themselves, haggling and bargaining, and yet he managed a smile to greet them as he approached.
“I’m sorry, everyone… My uncle is old, he can’t cook for so many people. You all should take a break, or maybe just head back home to eat.”
As soon as these words were said, the group of old gentlemen, who had just concluded their strategy for bargaining, were instantly at a loss.
“But we don’t eat much, just an extra pair of chopsticks is all!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanping simply looked at them: Good grief, each of you eats enough for two, is this just an extra pair of chopsticks? This is like adding a whole pigpen!
Upon reflection, it indeed wouldn’t be right to make Seventh Uncle work so hard.
If they could always eat whenever and wherever they wanted, sooner or later people would come just for the food, and he could see Tantan did not intend to open a cafeteria in the village.
So he had no choice but to reach out to Uncle Carp:
“Uncle Carp, your water cup, I’ll brew some of our tea leaves for you.”
Uncle Carp initially felt that the food, spoiled by Brother Mudfish, was a bit expensive, but now that he hadn’t gotten to eat, he felt somewhat empty inside.
He dawdled, not keen on leaving so quickly.
So he simply waved his hand, “Just brew it in your own cups for me, let me taste for myself what this sky-high-priced tea is all about.”
Ah, the village was blessed with clear mountains and fresh waters; everything was fine except that the cost of living was too high.
And yet he wasn’t even given the opportunity to spend money!
The folks grumbled among themselves, becoming more convinced that they should not let others know about this place; otherwise, with their old arms and legs, how could they compete with the young people nowadays?
As they were sighing and lamenting, they threw their caught lumpfish into the Song Tan’s family’s pond, while self-deprecating:
“Here we are, paying for food, but we still have to offer fish to their pond… It smells so good.”
Then, turning around, they saw Zhang Yanping come out with a crystal-clear glass cup.
A light layer of green sprouts danced up and down inside it, then slowly, one by one, settled back down to the bottom of the cup.
But the green tea water rippled gently with the waves, and every breath of air seemed imbued with a rich yet fresh fragrance.
Uncle Carp instantly regreted his decision:
“Oh, this tea! It should’ve been brewed in my cup!”
Zhang Yanping, however, raised an eyebrow, thinking—
Now that the tea is out, you guys should at least pool together and buy a pound today, right?
Otherwise, was he really going to earn only from selling boxed lunches?
