Leisurely mountain village

He came back to farm and enjoy life, not to work himself to death. Otherwise, what's the point of coming back?

"As for the price, it doesn't matter what kind of vegetables they are; all these common vegetables are 50 yuan per jin (500g)," Ye Huan said.

“The price is too high, we can’t afford it. The organic vegetables we had before were only around 20 yuan on average.” Manager Du immediately interrupted him.

"Can it compare to mine? Heh." Ye Huan was confident.

"That's too high. I can only offer 30 yuan per jin at most!" Manager Du is also a businessman.

"Okay, I'm currently in the promotion phase, so I can offer you a price of 30 yuan per jin, but this is only for this year. This will be written into the contract. Starting next year, all prices for my goods will be renegotiated." Ye Huan thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, but had his own requirements.

"Sure, if the market accepts it, we don't mind. After all, good things come at a good price." Manager Du nodded. As for Ye Huan getting a good deal, after all, their restaurant helped promote organic vegetables.

But how to put it? It can only be described as a win-win cooperation. After all, they are a private kitchen, and the quality requirements for the dishes have always been very high. Moreover, their guests are all prominent figures in the political and business circles.

Many customers have already commented that the quality of the ingredients has been much worse than before.

Don't doubt these people's taste. If they say the quality is bad, then the ingredients from this period must have had problems. That's why Manager Du has lost his temper several times, and the suppliers have also backed out. After all, it's too hard to find truly pure, natural, and organic vegetables these days.

"Alright, let's go sign a contract. I also have some requirements: before the price is readjusted next year, your vegetables cannot be supplied to any restaurant in the county except mine. Of course, I can't control what happens outside of Ping'an County," Manager Du stated his conditions.

“Okay, I wasn’t planning on a large-scale launch this year anyway.” Ye Huan agreed, and the two went to the office to sign the contract.

"200 jin every day before 9 am, is that alright? I'll let you know if there's any need to increase it. By the way, is there any way to send some over for emergencies today?" Manager Du asked.

"No problem, but I definitely won't make it by noon today. It will take me about four hours to go back and forth," Ye Huan said.

"I'll drive you back to get it," Manager Du said decisively.

"There's no way around it. It's faster to get to our town, but from the town to the village, that road is so bad that even if you drive your car to the point of exhaustion, you still won't be able to go fast," Ye Huan shook his head.

"Sigh~ then it'll have to be tonight. Could you send a batch over this afternoon?" Manager Du was at a loss.

"That's fine, I'll work a little harder, but we only pay daily, I don't do monthly payments."

Manager Du considered it for a moment, "Okay, if I'm not here, I'll have the staff tell me the quantity and quality, and I'll transfer the money to you directly."

"Okay~" Ye Huan left, and without even having lunch in town, rode his bike straight back.

"It might be passable for off-road driving, but this lousy road, haha!" He was almost sick of riding a small electric scooter, let alone a car.

I ate at my grandfather's house when I got home. "How was it?" my grandfather asked.

"Alright, 200 jin a day, 30 yuan per jin, delivered to the end of the year." Ye Huan quickly ate her rice and finished in no time. "I'll go pick some vegetables and deliver them to them this afternoon; they need them tonight."

"Okay, go ahead. Do you need my help?" Grandpa put down his wine glass.

"No need, Grandpa, you eat. It's just a small thing, I'll finish it in a bit. I'm leaving now. Saihu, you stay home." Ye Huan went home and asked a neighbor lady to help him pick vegetables. He paid her 100 yuan for her labor. The vegetables were packed in three large bamboo baskets, which were woven by the villagers themselves. He bought several large ones.

The little electric scooter was charging. He rode his grandfather's electric tricycle, pulling three baskets of vegetables, and headed towards the county town.

"Sigh, I was just thinking of relaxing, but now I'm busy like a grandson again. Speechless," Ye Huan complained as he rode his bike.

"No way, I have to trick my parents into coming back. Delivering vegetables is my dad's job, picking vegetables is my mom's job, and I'm good at collecting money." Ye Huan was already thinking about how to scam his parents.

By the time he arrived at the private restaurant, it was almost 5 p.m. There was no way around it; it would take him at least four hours to go there and back.

Upon receiving the report, Manager Du personally came to inspect the goods. "Excellent, excellent! This is truly pure, natural, and organic produce. How much?"

"Manager, remove 150 jin from the basket!" the weigher said.

"4500, I'll transfer the money directly. Starting tomorrow morning, 200 jin per day," Manager Du said after making the transfer.

"Don't worry, no problem." Ye Huan nodded. He was perfectly fine supplying only this one family. However, he would still farm a few acres of land when he got back, and then he would be free to persuade his parents to come back.

This time, there was no rush to go back. I leisurely rode my bike home, and it was dinnertime. Grandpa had already prepared the meal, so I didn't cook. Instead, I sat next to Grandpa and chatted with him.

"Grandpa, I'll call Mom and Dad back. I definitely can't manage picking and delivering vegetables by myself every day," Ye Huan said.

"Hmm, fine. He's such a grown man, and I don't know what he's been busy doing outside. Is there no food for him at home?" Grandpa got angry as soon as he talked about Ye Huan's father, and his fists were itching to punch him.

"Hehe, I'll call my mom!" Ye Huan took out his phone and dialed.

"Hey son, what's up?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mom, what are you doing? Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, I just got off work and I'm not home yet!"

Ye Huan knew that her parents worked in a garment factory, and that it was quite hard work.

"I need to talk to you about something. You and Dad should find some time to quit your jobs and come back home. We need to help out at home," Ye Huan said.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Ye Huan's mother asked.

Ye Huan didn't hide anything anymore and told his mother about how he quit his job and came back to grow vegetables.

"You brat, you just quit a perfectly good job like that? What future do you have growing vegetables?" As expected, the father next to him heard this and lost his temper.

Hearing the noise, Ye Huan's grandfather took the phone and said, "You little brat, shout again and let me hear you? Do you want to rebel against the Heavenly Gang? Xiao Huan has been working hard growing vegetables every day since he came back, and now he has found regular customers. We asked you to come back, so what are you babbling about? Kid, I'll beat you up."

"Dad, don't listen to him. What Xiao Huan said is all true!" Ye Huan's mother glared at her husband.

“Well, he has to plant and harvest vegetables every day now. That restaurant needs him to deliver 200 jin of fresh vegetables every day. Why don’t you come back and help him out?” Grandpa wasn’t that angry with his daughter-in-law.

"Really?" Ye Huan's mother asked in surprise.

"It's 30 yuan per jin (500g). Xiao Huan said he grows some kind of all-natural organic vegetables, and the bosses are scrambling to buy them. He also said that this price is temporary and will be re-priced next year." The grandfather couldn't hide his pride when talking about his eldest grandson.

Ye Huan blushed as she listened from the side, patted Saihu's head, smiled, and said nothing.

"Really? 30 yuan a pound? What kind of vegetable is so expensive? Dad, let's quit our jobs right away and go home to see for ourselves. Don't let this brat fool you." Ye Huan's mother was so skeptical.
