1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 89 Playing the piano to a cow
The days keep going on~
Chen Jiazhi maintains roughly the same rhythm of harvesting and sowing vegetables.

On the morning of the 16th, another 2150 yuan was earned, and on the 17th, another 2080 yuan was earned.

The two batches of choy sum sown on May 5.21 and May 5.22 have been cleared out one after another, and at the same time, broccoli, mustard greens and choy sum are also being sown.
The morning of June 17th.

It's very stuffy.

It makes people feel uneasy.

On the way home, Chen Jiazhi was sure that it would rain heavily in the evening and was thinking about today's work.

After arriving home, Chen Jiazhi closed the door and handed the waist bag containing money to Li Xiu.

"Please keep the money at home. It's not safe for me to carry it with me. No need to count it. It's about 9500 yuan. Just leave the change in your bag."

Li Xiu opened the bag, and the compartments inside were filled with banknotes of various denominations.

bulging.

Li Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally took out the money, counted it, and sorted it out.

Chen Jiazhi made an estimate in his notebook that morning.

从11~17号一共卖了18923元，如果再把5.9和5.18两批菜心算上，6月只是菜心就卖了两万多元。

After deducting various expenses, there should be more than 9500 yuan in the bag.

There's a lot of small change.

Li Xiu counted for a while before she figured out the amount: 9456 yuan.

"Huh~ I guess it's a hundred yuan more, but it's only a few hundred yuan away from ten thousand."

Chen Jiazhi was about to go out and was standing at the door when he saw a somewhat retro car driving into the vegetable market.

He turned around and smiled at Li Xiu, "It feels like a heavy rain is coming. If it rains today, we'll have to start harvesting vegetables tomorrow. We might be able to collect 10,000 in the next two or three days."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "I also feel that it's going to rain again. It's too hot and stuffy."

"Your feeling is right. A guest is coming. I'll go out and meet him."

There are many signs of heavy rain.

Li Xiu has a cold constitution. After returning to Chengdu, when she feels hot and stuffy and anxious, there is a high probability that it will rain heavily.

It's just that it wasn't obvious when I was in Huacheng.

After Chen Jiazhi left the house, a retro Audi sedan also stopped in the dam, and two men and one woman got out of the car.

He recognized the monk.

The other man and woman should be from the Spruce Hotel.

The female ones are slightly charming and full of maturity, while the male ones are slightly...

...

"Good morning, Chen the vegetable farmer. Let me introduce you to Liu Xiaoying and Gou Tao, the purchasing manager of the Yunshan Hotel. They're here to take a look at your vegetable fields today."

"You guys came pretty early too."

After getting off the car, Liu Xiaoying and Gou Tao first looked at the vegetable fields.

Apart from anything else, the Dongxiang vegetable market as a whole is still quite impressive, with a flat and open space and neat layout.

After Xu He introduced them, Liu Xiaoying nodded to Chen Jiazhi, while Gou Tao had a blank expression on his face.

Chen Jiazhi's performance was neither cold nor indifferent, neither enthusiastic nor dismissive.

Xu He said, "Then we shouldn't delay any longer and go to the fields early. The weather is too hot and humid. We should take some samples and go back early."

"Okay, come with me."

Chen Jiazhi is not opposed to pesticide residue testing. According to his management model, he can deal with the testing easily.

Went directly to vegetable field No. 6.

Chen Jiazhi pointed to the harvested wheaten vegetables and the unharvested choy sum fields.

"These pieces are all mine. These are the choy sums that will be supplied to the hotel in the near future and in the next few days."

Xu He, Liu Xiaoying and Gou Tao all looked over and saw that the choy sum fields were lush and green, with flower buds just emerging.

It looks great.

Seeing such pastoral scenery, the stuffy atmosphere was reduced a little.

Liu Xiaoying nodded: "The food is good."

Hearing Liu Xiaoying's praise, Chen Jiazhi smiled faintly.

Xu He glanced at Gou Tao casually and said, "Chen's vegetables have always been good. The vegetables we supplied to the hotel have been sampled and there are no pesticide residue issues. However, the hotel still needs to take samples on site for testing."

There are a lot of things to do.

However, in his previous life, he had never dealt directly with high-end hotels. He was only involved in delivery, which was not a big deal.

It's a bit hard to tell.

Chen Jiazhi: "Okay, I'll bring it back to you on time."

Xu He: "Don't worry, I will pay for it."

"It's okay. We are all old customers. It's no big deal for me to order some dishes for you to take home." Chen Jiazhi smiled and started picking the vegetables.

He thought the three would help, but it turned out that none of them had any intention of helping. Instead, they started asking questions.

Gou Tao, who had remained silent the entire time, asked, "Is this vegetable patch next to it also yours?"

Chen Jiazhi took a look and pointed to Zhou Shijun's field. The vegetables in the field, regardless of size, were all a bit "crooked and cracked".

"It's not mine, it belongs to other vegetable farmers."

"Oh."

Gou Tao looked at Liu Xiaoying, who crossed her arms and said, "Where are your other lands? I heard you have more than ten or twenty acres of vegetable fields, but this one doesn't have that much!"

"My vegetable fields are quite scattered. This one only has 4 mu."

Chen Jiazhi didn't even turn his head. After a while, he had picked a handful of vegetables. In order to make it look good, he even picked the vegetable hearts.

In the end, no one even looked at it.

Gou Tao seemed to be watching a show and said, "Could you please lead the way to see other vegetable fields?" Three people came, and it turned out that all three of them were big shots.

In order to make a few hundred dollars every day, Chen Jiazhi thought to himself and took the three of them to see other places one by one.

He noticed it too.

Among the three, Liu Xiaoying is the main one, Xu He is just a supporting role, and who is Gou Tao?
At first he thought they were purchasing agents, but it turned out that he had no respect for either Liu Xiaoying or Xu He.

Why does the hotel management feel a bit weird?!
Although a bit scattered, Chen Jiazhi's vegetable fields look pretty good.

There are tender and juicy vegetable seedlings, the open space that has just been disinfected with fermented pig manure, the seedlings that have just been planted and have already sprouted, and the vegetables that are being harvested.

The structure is clearly layered.

The arrangements and planning are reasonable.

However, Liu Xiaoying and the other two didn't understand at all.

They walked a long way and were watering the plants early in the morning, so many places were wet and their shoes were covered in mud.

Make the hot and humid weather become irritable again.

After looking at the last vegetable field, Chen Jiazhi felt that Liu Xiaoying's attitude had changed, and Xu He seemed speechless.

After returning to the car, he settled the bill for the dishes according to the market price, and then drove away with the two people who got in the car first.

As soon as he left the vegetable market, Gou Tao started to make sarcastic remarks.

"Manager Liu, the purchasing department is getting worse and worse. Anyone can sign a supply contract with us, right?"

Liu Xiaoying looked indifferent: "At least he has vegetables now, and the quality is pretty good. I also want to get goods from Jiangxin Vegetable Market, but he is useless!"

"Heh~ He's just a lucky little vegetable farmer. Look at his vegetable fields, scattered here and there. And yet you're rushing to sign a contract? If word gets out, Yunshan's reputation will be ruined."

Liu Xiaoying asked, "Could Mr. Gou provide a source of high-quality greens?"

Gou Tao sneered, "This is the purchasing department's business. I just know it's impossible to replace Jiangxin Vegetable Market!"

He didn't even mention Chen the cabbage farmer.

I also know that the biggest weakness of Jiangxin Vegetable Market right now is the lack of vegetables, but the contract cannot be changed.

Jiangxin Vegetable Market will not always be out of vegetables.

Liu Xiaoying was silent for a minute or two before she spoke again: "Chen Cainong is indeed not up to the task, but at least he is still needed now."

Give in.

Gou Tao chuckled and said, "It's not like they don't want his food right now. They're just a temporary replacement. No one knows that the hotel gets its food from small farmers."

In just a few words, the two of them formed a tacit understanding.

Xu He really wanted to fight back.

Chen’s vegetable farm is indeed small and his vegetable fields are scattered, but do you know how many vegetables he sells in a day?
What about Jiangxin Vegetable Market?
The more unstable the supply is, the more valuable the vegetable farmers are.

Unfortunately, Liu Xiaoying and Gou Tao had never seen the majestic scene of Chen the vegetable farmer in the market.

Sometimes it’s not that Chen Cainong wants to be a supplier for the Spruce Hotel.

Instead, Yunshan begged Chen the vegetable farmer.

But he was not from the Yunshan Hotel, at best he was a relative of the hotel, and speaking rashly would only affect his cousin Xu Wenxiang.

If Chen Jiazhi knew what Xu He was thinking, he would definitely complain, "Your hotel is really weird, is it legitimate?"
Simple delivery made so complicated.

As for the neglect of him by several people, he never cared.

I've been in this business for a long time and I've seen all kinds of people.

They all came from humble backgrounds.

Although Liu Xiaoying and others did not show their disgust towards them, they could not hide the feeling of being ignored.

Just like her third sister who hadn't arrived yet, she was just a laid-off worker, but still disdained farming.

Chen Jiazhi has long been immune.

So he always behaved neither arrogantly nor humbly. Big hotels are just like that. They definitely want a stable supply.

But I won’t miss it even if I lose it.

Besides, there will always be a time when you need help from him.

Chen Jiazhi gave Li Xiu the 20 yuan he had just collected.

"Jiazhi, what's wrong? It seems those guys just now are a little dissatisfied."

Chen Jiazhi: "It's okay. Those three are amateurs and don't know anything. They won't affect us."

Li Xiu: "Oh, I thought something had happened. That woman is pretty, but she always has such a stern face. I thought something had happened."

Chen Jiazhi said: "Does it look good? I didn't think so. I didn't go out in the sun, put on makeup, and have two beautiful clothes."

After a pause, Chen Jiazhi continued, "When you're free, I'll take you to the market. Oh, the people in Huacheng call it a market. It's very lively and has everything for sale. I'll buy you some clothes then. You'll definitely look much better than Manager Liu."

"Okay." Li Xiu happily agreed: "I'll buy you a few more pieces too. You haven't bought clothes in a long time."

"Or I should just give some face to others."

"??"

Chen Jiazhi laughed and said, "I'm already handsome enough. If I dress up a little more, the others will be in trouble."

"..."

Looking at Chen Jiazhi, who was dark-skinned but had white and neat teeth, Li Xiu's brain froze for a moment and he didn't know how to respond.

Instead, the two puppies were playing around excitedly.

Chen Jiazhi teased Gouzi for a bit and then said, "Don't even think about it. If we really go to the city, we'll call Brother Yi and the others along, get dressed up, have a meal together, and watch a movie. We work hard to earn money, so we should learn to enjoy it too."

"okay."

Li Xiu has never been to the cinema.

But now that I have money, I naturally have the confidence. Moreover, I have never left the market since I came to it. The farthest place I have been to is within the scope of Dongxiang Village.
