Chapter 10 Special Cabbage
After settling down, Xiao Yi started setting up a stall to sell vegetables without these gangsters making trouble. He opened the straw curtain on the tricycle, and Xiao Yi put up a signboard.
Refreshing Chinese cabbage, three yuan a catty, taste before buying, no money if you are not satisfied.
These were all secretly done by Xiao Yi himself, and Xiao Ya didn't even know when her brother wrote a sign.
"The cabbage you are born with doesn't sell at all. Now the cabbage on the market costs 80 cents a catty, and you sold it for three yuan. How can anyone buy it?"
Seeing the sign Xiao Yi put up, the vendor thought that Xiao Yi didn't understand the local market, so he kindly reminded Xiao Yi that the price was outrageous.
"Yeah brother, cabbage is very common. Let's pull these cabbages and sell them for a few dozen dollars."
Xiao Ya felt that her brother might have made a typo, three yuan a catty of cabbage, unless it was in winter, might be able to reach this price.
"Uncle, thank you for your reminder, but it's not easy for me to sell vegetables here today. I don't care how much other people's Chinese cabbage costs per catty, but mine is at this price."
"Young man, what are you trying to do, you won't be able to sell a single cabbage in such a day."
No matter what the peddler said, Xiao Yi always insisted on his own ideas. Just now he had some good feelings for Xiao Yi, and the peddler began to wonder if Xiao Yi was mentally ill.
"Special Chinese cabbage, taste it before you buy it, if you are not satisfied, you don't need money—"
Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was almost ten o'clock in the blink of an eye. A restaurant in Beitang County was about to eat, but there were no customers in the restaurant at this moment.
The owner, Zhang Hong, is very anxious. If the restaurant continues to develop like this, it will close sooner or later, and the business will not even be able to maintain the wages of the workers in the restaurant.
"Xiao Wang, go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, can you buy some green organic vegetables, the taste of the guests is very good now, if the taste is slightly wrong, they will not come."
"Boss, it's not that I don't pay attention, it's that there are no such dishes now. Basically, they are all treated with pesticides. I really can't find them without pesticides."
"Hey... this pesticide is really killing people, Xiao Wang, I will go with you when you are shopping for vegetables."
The business has been sluggish for nearly half a month, and a new hotel has been opened across the street. The business is getting worse day by day. Zhang Hong is so worried that she can't sleep all night.
The stall that Xiao Yi put up was really hit by the vendor's advice. The vegetable buyers came over to take a look, and saw that it cost three yuan a catty, so they didn't even bother to try it.
The vendors on this street were about to run out of vegetables, fruits and some specialty products. Zhang Hong, led by Xiao Wang, came to this street to purchase for the restaurant.
Zhang Hong is wearing a long black suspender dress. Although she is in her thirties this year, Zhang Hong is well maintained on weekdays. Her skin is fair and rosy. Once she appears inside, she becomes a sight here.
"Boss, let's take a look. I have what you need to buy here. It's cheap."
Zhang Hong's eyes just glanced briefly, and she walked past these stalls. What she wants are high-quality vegetables, not for cheap.
"Boss, look, there are no green vegetables these days. Vegetable farmers know that, and the vegetable fields that don't spray pesticides have long been eaten up by bugs."
"Special Chinese cabbage, taste it before buying, three yuan a catty, no money if you are not satisfied."
A shout drew Zhang Hong's attention to the end of the street. Because of this matter, Zhang Hong raised his head and took a look, then walked over to have a look first.
"Young man, your cabbage costs three yuan a catty, isn't it a bit too expensive?"
A pedal tricycle, with half a carload of cabbage inside the tricycle, it looks like it should weigh more than two hundred catties.
At first Zhang Hong thought she had heard it wrong, but when she came over to see it was really three yuan a catty, such an expensive cabbage would not have such a high price in winter, so she asked curiously.
Xiao Yi looked at Zhang Hong, and he could tell from Zhang Hong's attire that Zhang Hong didn't look like a grocery shopper, but a female business owner.
"This boss, the price of a penny is a penny. My cabbage is a special Chinese cabbage. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers have been used. There is a reason why it costs three yuan a catty."
Xiao Yi started to advertise by himself, and he was telling the truth, this cabbage was grown by his grandfather himself, no pesticides or fertilizers were used, it was definitely a natural green vegetable.
"If you say you haven't used it, you haven't used it? How many people say that they don't use pesticides and fertilizers to grow vegetables, and the results are all deceptive."
"Believe it or not is up to you. If you don't believe it, you can taste it first. As I said, you don't need money if you are not satisfied."
Xiao Yi pointed to what was written on the sign. Zhang Hong looked at the cabbage in Xiao Yi's car again. The stems, white leaves and green leaves were indeed quite pleasing, and the size was not small, but he didn't know how it tasted.
"Young man, let me taste it first. I haven't tasted cabbage in my life. You are a bit special."
Zhang Hong said, since they are all here, it doesn't matter if you try it, Xiao Yi carefully broke off a vegetable leaf, and handed it to Zhang Hong.
"I'm all natural, you can just eat it without washing."
"You don't need to wash it if you say it doesn't need to be washed? This person's words are really funny. What if there are pesticides on it, what if people are poisoned?"
"Are you the boss? Are you the one who pays for the vegetables? Why do you interrupt everywhere, but the boss didn't open your mouth, but you are here endlessly bickering." Xiao Yi couldn't help it.
"How do you talk? How can you do business like this? The customer god understands, and you don't even understand this rule. You are new here, right?"
"God? This is not the area under the jurisdiction of God, so what if the Jade Emperor comes? It is clearly written on the sign, no money for dissatisfaction, did you not graduate from primary school?"
Xiao Yi said, business is a business, but Xiao Yi doesn't need to hold back, besides, the person in front of him looks like a thug.
"Xiao Wang, please shut up first. The young man is right. We decide whether to buy or not. It is not easy to buy vegetables. If you talk about other people's vegetables like that, how will the business continue?"
Zhang Hong stood up and said a fair word. She has always been mild-tempered, and what Xiao Wang said just now was indeed a bit too much.
"This beautiful sister speaks quite nicely. My cabbage is indeed a green vegetable. If you don't believe me, you can taste it. If it tastes bad, just spit it out."
Xiao Yi felt that the woman in front of her was not bad, and knew that Zhang Hong belonged to the rich man, and she didn't seem to have the stinky airs of the rich.
"Then...then let me taste it first. You are right. If it is really a green vegetable, then I will buy it."
Zhang Hong pinched the vegetable leaves that Xiao Yi broke off with two fingers, gently tore off a section of leaf stem, fed it into his mouth and chewed slowly.
It was just ordinary Chinese cabbage at first, but Zhang Hong didn't think there was anything special about it. While chewing, Zhang Hong's eyes suddenly widened, and he groaned.
"Boss's food isn't very good, is it? I just said that there are no vegetables that don't use pesticides. You should spit them out quickly. Don't get poisoned if you don't wash the vegetables."
Zhang Hong was stunned for a while, his eyes lit up, and he looked down at the remaining vegetable leaves in his hand. He couldn't believe that the taste was ordinary Chinese cabbage.
