Jiang Wenmei ate eight pills in a row, and none of them were not fragrant or sweet.
"We just tasted it in the morning. The salad with radish leaves is so good for rice. It tastes better than meat." Youyu felt hungry again as he spoke.
"Tell me the price. How much do you plan to sell it for per pound?"
"With radish tassels, it costs three yuan per catty!" You said unequivocally. She was comparing it to the retail price in the sea market.
Grandpa You was so nervous that he looked down at the ground. Grandma You stared at Jiang Wenmei's expression and breathed rapidly.
Greenhouse vegetables take so much work, but at their most expensive, they cost only one pound per dollar! Three yuan a pound, why not grab it?
Jiang Wenmei looked at You Yu sideways: "You really dare to bid!"
"Originally, I wanted to ask for five yuan a pound. The whole amount is easy to settle accounts. This is my carrot. Sister, tell me, is it the only one in Jiang County?"
"Haha, how many people are willing to buy and eat radishes that cost five yuan a pound?"
"I'm going to take my radishes to the county town for retail sale. I'll try them first before buying them. Do you believe it? I can sell them all in a few days. There are many rich people in Jiang County, and the dog-eared buds are so expensive that we don't have to worry about selling them!"
"Two yuan a pound! If you say it will be rounded, it will be rounded!"
Grandma You clutched her chest, her heart pounding.
"Three yuan a pound, even a dime less, I won't sell it! At worst, I'll ask the purchaser of Sansu Restaurant to come and take a look at the goods!"
I'm a one-man business, and I still can't control you?
"Sister, that's not how business works! Let's do this. I risk being scolded by the general manager and give you an extra 50 cents per pound."
"Then please go back, grandma, and help me find the business card of Sansu Restaurant!"
"I'll look for it!" Grandpa You was afraid that he might not be able to survive and show his cowardice to his granddaughter, so he quickly pretended to look for the business card.
Jiang Wenmei almost laughed out loud, being clearly manipulated by others, young and old.
She wanted to drive away, but her feet seemed to have taken root on their own, and her mouth was still savoring the sweetness of radishes.
"I'm really impressed with you. Three yuan is enough, but I have a condition. You have to leave it to our Jiangxian Hotel next time."
"Yes, Manager Jiang, be happy!" She wasn't afraid of a verbal agreement, her radishes were worth the price!
There was a banquet at Jiangxian Hotel in the evening. After Jiang Wenmei called the general manager for instructions, she planned to take a hundred catties of cherry radishes back to the city.
Carrying the largest basket in the house, the four of them went to the fields again.
I no longer feel the heartache of pulling out radishes. I picked out densely grown radishes and weighed 100 kilograms. It was done in 20 minutes.
The vegetables are not cheap, and You Yu is not stingy. The net weight is one hundred and three kilograms, with a zero mark.
It wasn't until Jiang Wenmei's van was driving so far that no shadow could be seen, that the family looked at the three red tickets and smiled with crooked eyebrows.
"Hahaha, grandma! Did you see that? I sold your granddaughter for money! Eat meat, eat meat, I want to eat meat tomorrow!"
You Yu put her hands on her hips and smiled happily.
It was not easy. She finally had another eight hundred yuan in savings.
Grandpa You was speechless for a long time: "I only sold it for 300 yuan and the monster started to show up. Which greenhouse vegetable grower in the village doesn't sell it for tens of thousands of yuan every year?"
"Can it be the same? They have been growing vegetables for many years, and it has only taken me so long? Grandpa, I can definitely surpass them in one year!"
"The toad is yawning loudly!"
"Do you want to make a bet with me? If I surpass most people in the village within a year, you have to admit that I am the most powerful person in the village."
"Just bet!" Grandpa You agreed readily, as if I would suffer a loss if you win!
Six o'clock in the evening, Jiang County Hotel.
A small banquet was being held for the newlyweds to thank their relatives and friends. The ceremony at noon was very grand. The bridesmaids and parents of both parties were busy greeting the guests.
I didn't eat well at lunch, so I came to make up for it at the dinner, and another twenty tables were set.
"I want to eat the red one!" The children eating at the table were the first to notice the cherry radishes and were attracted by their appearance.
"Honey, this is a radish, it's spicy!" The child's mother quickly turned away from the dish.
"I want it, I want it!" The five or six-year-old girl pointed at the carrot and kept shouting.
The child's mother was afraid of upsetting the younger siblings who had just entered the house, so she could only give the little ancestor a carrot. He would probably spit it out after taking one bite.
The little guy looked at the bright red radish in the palm of his hand. He was so fond of the color that he couldn't bear to eat it.
After looking at it for a while, he put it in his mouth and took a small bite. He chewed it and then took another small bite.
Like a little squirrel, he held a small radish in his hands and gnawed it with relish.
The little girl's mother gulped when she saw it: "Baby, isn't raw radish spicy?"
"It's not spicy, it's fragrant and sweet! I want another one!"
Only parents know how picky their daughter is, and her expression doesn't look like she's lying.
The groom's sister also took one and tasted it. "Crack!" The pulp exploded in her mouth, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Try this cherry radish, it's so sweet!"
"Ah? Is this a radish? It also smells like roses!"
"Taste one, taste one..."
There were more than twenty radishes on a plate, and they were all robbed in the blink of an eye, with a loud "click" sound.
"How about one less meat dish and another plate of radishes?" Two radishes are not enough to fill the teeth, and I haven't tasted them yet.
"This is a good suggestion. To maintain good health, you should have a vegetarian dinner and less meat!" A group of older people all agreed. This food must be satisfying.
...
At only seven o'clock the next morning, Jiang Wenmei drove a small truck to Yougoubian Village.
He also brought a box of apples and a box of milk to Grandma You.
"Sister, your radish is like this! There are not even radish leaves left from the hundred pounds last night. Today is the 79th birthday of the richest man in the county. I have to pull out more than half of it."
Unexpectedly, her performance in purchasing ingredients over the years has reached a new level because of You Yu’s cherry radish.
Not to mention giving small gifts, she can even ask her to come to the fields to help with farm work.
"Come on, there's only so much in total anyway, it's the same whether you eat it early or late."
The newly purchased seeds are already on the way. I have five acres of land to plant them, but I don’t believe they can be eaten yet.
"Old man, are your table tennis radishes edible?" There were many people working in the greenhouse in the morning, and seeing the movement at You Yu's house, a group of villagers watched the excitement.
"It won't grow as big as a ping pong ball, so we need to plant tomatoes as soon as possible." Grandpa You replied helplessly.
"Did you buy the wrong seeds? They are only so big!" the onlookers chirped. What vegetable farmers fear most is that the seeds are of the wrong type.
"Mother Yu, give us a taste of your little radish!" The shameless one had already begun to boo, mainly out of curiosity about the new variety.
"No! You've already sold it to me!" Director Jiang said with an expressionless face, rejecting everyone.
