Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 61 Harvesting Lettuce

The next morning, Xia Shiyu calculated the vegetables that needed to be ordered and then calculated the remaining amount. She found that the quantity was not much, and it would be more convenient to just take them to the county town by tricycle to sell them.

It takes more than an hour to drive to the city. If these vegetables can't be sold in the county, there's no need to bring them to the city.

“Okay, I’ll go today. You guys stay home,” Xia Lihua replied.

He's starting to like this job. Although it gets busy when there are a lot of people, he's found it quite enjoyable after a while.

Unlike his previous work on construction sites, which was so tiring, after driving the car there, he only had to sit and wait for people to come and sell vegetables. He could play on his phone, take a nap, or sleep in to escape the cool air.

Most importantly, I earn more than before. I don't need to shout to sell the goods. Regular customers will come and buy them naturally, and sometimes they even complain that it's not enough.

The job is easy and stress-free, the salary is high, and you can often spend time with your family. When you think about it this way, how can it not be a dream job?

So Xia Lihua has changed from being shy before and is now very happy.

However, Xia Shiyu had other plans for today. She told her dad, "Dad, I'll go instead. I was thinking of visiting Teacher Li while I'm at it. You stay home. If anything comes up, you and Mom can handle it. If you can't, call me."

Xia Lihua agreed, then decided not to go along, fearing that Xia Shiyu wouldn't feel comfortable being alone with the teacher.

"Alright, go ahead."

Yu Juan also asked, "Should we bring something for Teacher Li?"

Xia Shiyu: "It's okay, Mom. I just brought some home-cooked dishes. Teacher Li and I have a good relationship. She'll understand the benefits after eating these dishes."

"Alright, then go ahead."

"Mmm," Xia Shiyu nodded and drove the tricycle to the county town.

"toot toot"

Xia Shiyu drove her tricycle to town. Although her family had bought a truck, she rarely drove it; Xia Lihua was mainly in charge.

But she herself feels that she prefers driving a tricycle, as it is more comfortable for a drive.

As soon as Xia Shiyu arrived at the place and put down the bench, a crowd of people gathered around him.

Xia Shiyu was startled.

The customers in front of him chimed in, "Boss Xia, it's you here today! You haven't been here in ages!"

"Yeah, yeah, and you haven't come up with any new dishes in ages."

"Yes, yes, I've been craving your food every day. As soon as I heard you were out, I rushed over."

"That's right, I use this vegetable to make oyster sauce lettuce."

"Yes, look how well the lettuce is growing."

The guests initially complained a few times, but after seeing the lettuce, they all turned to it.

Everyone was very happy. Ever since they ate the vegetables grown by Xia Shiyu, they felt healthy, in good spirits, and had a good appetite. Even family conflicts have decreased because of this.

Xia Shiyu looked at the customers in front of him with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Judging from their attitude, if he didn't hurry up, he would have to step forward to help them.

Fortunately, her job was simple; all she had to do was put the scale on and take out a large plastic bag.

War is imminent.

The elderly people in the front row grabbed a plastic bag first, and with a quick scoop, they picked up the crisp lettuce in front of them and put it into their own bag.

Xia Shiyu was startled by the fierce manner and quickly advised, "Everyone be careful. Lettuce is very easy to spoil, and it will be bad if you crush it."

After Xia Shiyu repeated himself, the crowd around him softened their attack a little, but they were still all very fast.

Seeing that no one was intentionally wasting or damaging anything, Xia Shiyu stopped worrying about it and focused on helping to calculate the price.

She ordered lettuce for 10 yuan per jin this time, which wasn't much different from the price of the vegetables she ordered before.

I expect the price of vegetables to be around 10 yuan in the future, and we can adjust the price of more expensive ones later.

However, today is practically lettuce day; apart from the vegetables she brought for her teacher, everything else was lettuce.

However, the customers were quite satisfied because Xia Shiyu had been coming regularly lately, and even if he didn't come, his parents would sell some rapeseed.

So, by comparison, they were quite interested in today's lettuce.

Xia Shiyu has already made a name for himself in the county and accumulated a large customer base, so the vegetables sold out quickly today.

Xia Shiyu saw that she had sold all the vegetables and it was still quite early, so she decided to go visit Teacher Li.

But it's not convenient to bring so many dishes to visit her at school, and we might run into other former teachers, which would lead to a lot of small talk.

So in the end, she decided to go directly to Teacher Li's house.

She had been to Teacher Li's house with her classmates before, so she found the place easily this time.

Upon arriving at the destination, she knocked on the door, and it was opened from the inside.

Chen Yi opened the door and saw Xia Shiyu standing at the door.

She didn't remember Xia Shiyu very well, and asked curiously, "Hello, what brings you to my house?"

Xia Shiyu greeted her with a smile, "Sister Chen Yi, I'm Xia Shiyu, a former student of Teacher Li. I wanted to come and see her this time."

"Oh, you're my mom's student. Please come in."

Chen Yi opened the door and let Xia Shiyu in. She poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Xia Shiyu.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you very well. My mom is still at school right now, so you might have to wait a while, but it'll be back soon. She only has two classes this morning."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "It's alright, I have plenty of time and can wait."

After exchanging greetings, the two could only chat awkwardly because they were not familiar with each other. Adult topics are usually limited to work, life's troubles, and children.

Since Xia Shiyu doesn't have children yet, the conversation mainly revolved around work.

But Xia Shiyu could also sense that the atmosphere was really awkward.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before we heard Teacher Li return.

As soon as she opened the door, she rushed forward with delight and hugged Xia Shiyu. "Shiyu, what brings you here today? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

Xia Shiyu naturally hugged Teacher Li, "Teacher, I wanted to give you a surprise, so I came secretly."

"Haha, sit down, sit down, it's perfect for us to have a chat."

Teacher Li greeted him warmly. She was a very kind and caring teacher, which is why Xia Shiyu always liked her very much.

After sitting down, Xia Shiyu first took out the vegetables next to her. "Teacher Li, these are some vegetables that I grew myself. You can take them home and cook them. They taste pretty good."

Teacher Li looked at the large bag of vegetables next to Xia Shiyu and said with some dissatisfaction, "Sigh, you came all this way, why did you bring so much stuff?"

"Oh dear, teacher, these are all things I grew myself, I didn't buy any expensive gifts."

Teacher Li shook her head, "For example, if I come back to visit my teacher, my teacher will be very satisfied. I'll be happy even if I don't bring anything."

Seeing that the two were having a very harmonious discussion, Chen Yi picked up the groceries, put them in the kitchen, and returned to her room, leaving the two of them alone.
