In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

"The village chief didn't come all the way from the village to the county town to see me today, did he?" Su Zhizhi said half-jokingly and half-seriously, sitting opposite the village chief.

The village chief rubbed his hands, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he quickly explained: "No, no, I came to the county town today because I have some things to do, so I thought I would come over and take a look first."

"So what exactly does the village chief want to talk to me about?" Su Zhizhi didn't want to be too polite with the village chief and asked directly.

The village chief hadn't expected Su Zhizhi, now a boss, to speak so forcefully. He was stunned for a moment. When Su Zhizhi's voice rang out again, he suddenly realized, "Oh, right, right, look at my brain. I came to the county town this time for our village. Zhi girl, you lived in the village before, and you know that we have many vegetable farmers in our village, but there isn't much demand for these vegetables in town, so I came to the county town to look for opportunities."

"So what the village chief means is..." Su Zhizhi understood the village chief's implication, but still pretended to understand.

The village chief choked. He didn't expect that even after he had said this, Su Zhizhi still didn't respond.

Seeing this, the village chief had no choice but to continue, "Girl Zhi, you see, now you also run a restaurant, you should have quite a few customers every day, and you must have a greater demand for dishes. So, can you buy the vegetables from our village? We can do this for a long time, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it good?"

Su Zhizhi finally had a look of sudden enlightenment on her face. "Oh, I thought it was something else. Look, Village Chief, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm also looking for a reliable source of vegetables for the restaurant. We all used to live in the village, so we can be considered family. Wait a minute, I'll go back to the village with you. If the quality of the vegetables is good, I'll buy them all."

"But Village Chief, let me be frank. If I'm not satisfied with the appearance of these dishes, our business will end here. After all, I plan to keep my restaurant open, and I don't want to tarnish its reputation."

When talking about business, Su Zhizhi's expression was very serious, which actually scared the village chief into becoming nervous. He kept saying, "Of course, of course."

Su Zhizhi walked out of the cubicle, explained some things to Xie Chengjin, and then returned to the village with the two waiters and the village chief.

When standing at the entrance of the village, Su Zhizhi was still feeling emotional. She didn't expect that he would come back so early.

But this time when Su Zhizhi returned to the village, she received an unprecedented reception. Almost all the vegetable farmers in the village gathered in the yard of the village chief's house, while other villagers were watching outside the yard.

The village chief originally wanted to invite Su Zhizhi to his home for dinner, but Su Zhizhi politely declined. She stopped the village chief from pulling her arm and said businesslike, "Village chief, we have to make decisions in an emergency. Let's go and see how the dishes are."

Since Su Zhizhi said so, the village chief had no choice but to take Su Zhizhi to the vegetable farmer's vegetable field.

The vegetable plots in the village were connected together in patches, and the owners of these plots followed Su Zhizhi and the village chief. Seeing the end, Su Zhizhi was very satisfied. She had long wanted to find a stable and reliable source of vegetables for Laiyue Tower. Now it seemed that someone had given her a pillow when she was sleepy.

Su Zhizhi was very satisfied with the appearance of these dishes and was thinking of buying them, but there was no expression on her face. The village chief and the villagers who followed her were always paying attention to her expression. Seeing this, they were all worried.

When they returned to the village chief's house, Su Zhizhi remained silent. The village chief couldn't help but ask, "Zhi girl, how is it? The food in our village is pretty good, isn't it?"

Su Zhizhi took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "That's right. If the price is right, I'll make the deal right then and there. I also happened to have some money with me, so I can settle the bill right there and then."

Seeing Su Zhizhi say this, the village chief and the vegetable farmers all looked happy. Before the village chief could say anything, Su Zhizhi continued, "You guys discuss it first, and then give me a price. I'll see if it's suitable."

After a long discussion, the village chief finally gave Su Zhizhi an answer. "Girl Zhi, how about 80% of the market price? No, 70%?"

Su Zhizhi frowned slightly. "Seventy percent? Village chief, after all, we are from the same village. I'm afraid this price isn't quite right for you to give me."

The village chief looked at the villagers awkwardly, then looked at Su Zhizhi and asked cautiously, "What price do you think is appropriate?"

"How about 60% of the market price? You don't need to tell me about costs or anything like that. You all know these things, and I know them all too well. You can still make a lot of money with 60% of the market price. What's more, I want a large quantity, so you should calculate the cost first."

When Su Zhizhi said the 60% percentage, the faces of the people present changed.

Many people were dissatisfied with the price, but no one dared to say anything. Su Zhizhi just sat there and waited quietly.

Finally, someone couldn't help but stand up and asked, "60% of the market price? Isn't this price a bit low? You also said that we are all from the same village. Is this price appropriate for us?"

"This price is already the highest I can offer. Of course, if you're not satisfied, I don't have to buy your vegetables. You can sell them in town or the county seat at the market price. Does anyone else have any objections?"

Su Zhizhi smiled at the man. She was just thinking of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys when the chicken suddenly appeared.

The man's face turned pale instantly, and the faces of the others were also very ugly, but no one dared to object to the price anymore.

Su Zhizhi was very satisfied with this situation. After the tea in the cup was empty, Su Zhizhi slowly stood up and said, "Since no one has any objections, how about we start weighing and settling the accounts?"

Su Zhizhi waved her hand as she spoke, and the two waiters beside her immediately went out and carried two boxes of silver and placed them in front of the vegetable farmers.

These people in the village had never seen so much money before, and it was rare for the bill to be paid on the spot. Seeing this, everyone present no longer had any resentment in their hearts, but was instead filled with joy and anticipation.

Su Zhizhi booked the next time to pick up the vegetables, and then started to signal the waiter to weigh them and pay.

Vegetable farmers lined up in a long queue in front of the village chief's house, holding the vegetables they had just harvested.

By the time everything was collected, it was already noon.

Su Zhizhi did not stay in the village and took his men straight back to the county town.
