Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

"Don't underestimate these ordinary vegetables. In the middle of winter, this truckload of vegetables is worth a fortune!"

"Who could have imagined that we'd run into so many people trying to take advantage of the situation? I lost so much food. I'm afraid I'll be criticized when I get home today."

"Maybe I can't even keep this job..."

The waiter's voice became more and more choked.

Sun Wan sighed lightly and motioned Su Guiying to go back to the stall first, while she helped push the cart across the bridge.

After walking into a deserted alley, Sun Wancai whispered, "Young man, I have some vegetables here, do you need any?"

The waiter looked up blankly, and then a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "Really?"

But then he became a little suspicious: "Auntie, you are not kidding me, are you?"

After all, in the entire Huizhou, there are only a few families who can grow off-season vegetables.

The price is naturally shockingly high.

Sun Wan said with disdain, "Do you think Auntie is someone who would lie?"

After saying that, Sun Wan took advantage of the cover and picked an eggplant from her secret space and put it in her arms without anyone noticing.

She took out the eggplant and said, "Look, can we grow it in this season?"

Facing that juicy big eggplant, the waiter's eyes lit up surprisingly!

Oh, this eggplant has a smooth skin and plump flesh, it’s even better than the one he bought before!

"Of course I can't grow them. Aunt Twenty, do you have any other vegetables?"

"What do you need?"

The waiter immediately counted the lost vegetables in the car and quickly made a list.

"Five pounds of Chinese cabbage, ten pounds of eggplant, and twenty pounds of green onion sprouts..."

As he reported, Sun Wan "picked" it from her secret space.

Unexpectedly, it is so complete!

After counting, the waiter looked at Sun Wan expectantly: "Auntie, do you have all these?"

"Of course! These vegetables are not rare. Auntie has a large area of ​​them at home."

"But I have to go home and get it. As for the price..."

"Do you have enough money to buy groceries?" Sun Wan asked with concern.

The waiter waved his hand and said confidently, "Don't worry! These dishes are really expensive. Not only are we in the restaurant vying for them, but other places are also eagerly waiting for them. The vegetable vendors are naturally very proud of them."

"Vegetable prices change every day, and the shopkeeper has already prepared enough silver for me to cope with it."

Sun Wan's mind turned: "Then how much do you plan to pay for this batch of vegetables?"

The waiter chuckled and winked at Sun Wan: "Auntie, you just helped me a lot. I'll tell you the truth, if you can get all these dishes, I'll give you ten taels of silver!"

Ten taels! Sun Wan's heart skipped a beat. My goodness, this amount of money would take the villagers more than half a month to earn even if they worked their tails off selling pine nuts!

Just these dishes, and ten taels! It seems that the people in Qingshui Town are really wealthy!

Sun Wan was so excited that she was speechless for a moment. The waiter thought she was dissatisfied with the price and couldn't help but get anxious: "Auntie, this price is really too high. If it's more, I won't be able to explain it when I get home."

Although it was the shopkeeper's money, he didn't feel bad about it, but the shopkeeper was meticulous and would not let him pass if the accounts were wrong.

If you add a little more money to each dish, ten taels is easy to break even, but more is unacceptable.

If I don’t buy groceries, I’ll lose my job.

The waiter hardened his heart and took out two taels of silver from his pocket and said, "Madam, just twelve taels, no more!"

If there is any more, I will be starving!

When Sun Wan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She clapped her hands and said, "Okay, it's settled!"

"Auntie will go home and get you some food now, please wait a moment!"

Before she finished speaking, Sun Wan quickly walked out of the alley and turned into another alley.

Afraid of missing out on this good deal, she moved quickly.

Sun Wan found some hemp ropes from her personal space, quickly tied up the goods, and turned back to the waiter.

But halfway through the journey, she hesitated.

Darong Village is not very close to the town, and she is counting on long-term cooperation with Xiao Er. What if she is exposed if she moves too quickly?

If I'm too slow, I'm afraid people will get impatient and leave.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sun Wan decided that she had to have a house in town!

It doesn't have to be too luxurious, renting it will do. The key is that it should be convenient for taking things out at any time without arousing suspicion.

Having made up her mind, Sun Wan waited a little longer before leaving the alley.

The waiter grew increasingly anxious as he waited, wondering if this woman had tricked him. Who could grow out-of-season vegetables these days?

As time passed, the waiter regretted it and wondered if he had been confused.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, Sun Wan appeared at the entrance of the alley.

The waiter was overjoyed and trotted forward with his cart: "Oh, Auntie, you've kept me waiting for so long!"

Sun Wan put the vegetables on the cart with a smile, then opened it for the waiter to check. She wiped the sweat off her face and explained, "My home is far from here, and I was delayed on the way."

The waiter hurriedly checked the types of dishes, and hurriedly took out a scale from under the cart to weigh them. After confirming that everything was correct, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's right, Auntie, you are my lucky star!"

The waiter waved his hand, took out his purse from his waist, and swiftly counted out twelve taels of silver and handed it to Sun Wan: "Please keep it."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and pushed the cart away. Sun Wan hurriedly followed him, and the two of them pushed the cart forward together.

"Hey boy, what do you think of my food?"

"Very good!" The waiter felt more and more friendly when looking at Sun Wan, not to mention that her dishes were indeed excellent.

"Compared to the ones I bought before, your vegetables are much fresher and more tender. Just looking at them makes me happy."

"Then can we do business for a long time?"

This made the waiter feel troubled.

He frowned slightly: "Auntie, I really can't make the decision on this matter."

"Occasionally, I can handle it privately once or twice, but our boss has to go to the countryside to pick out the goods every month, so I can't hide it from you."

Sun Wan sighed: "Who asked you to hide it, young man? What I want is, can you introduce me to your boss?"

This proposal was exactly what I wanted.

The waiter readily agreed: "Okay, I'll discuss it with the shopkeeper after the dishes are sent back."

After hearing this, Sun Wan felt relieved and decided to be a good person and helped push the door all the way to the door of Zuixianlou.

The waiter was deeply moved. As soon as he put down the dishes in the kitchen, he took the time to find the shopkeeper and told him everything about Sun Wan.

Of course, there was no mention of the little incident where he threw away the vegetables and had to pay for them again.

When the shopkeeper heard the waiter praising the dishes, he started to grumble inwardly.

This guy is so slick, who knows where he got some bargain and is showing off here.

"Come on! We're dealing with regular customers, how can we just switch to new people?"

"Do you think this is just a weed on the roadside? If the food is not good and the customers come back to complain, you will be the first one to come to them!"

After saying that, the shopkeeper impatiently sent the waiter away.

The waiter didn't expect this to happen. He felt angry and a little nervous.

The auntie’s dishes do look good, but will the taste be okay?

This incident made him uneasy the whole day, and he kept stealing glances at the reactions of customers in the kitchen and lobby.

The results were surprisingly good.

Diners raved about today’s dishes!
