"You sell my vegetables? Five yuan a pound?"

Uncle Zhang looked at Muster in surprise, and with a suspicious look on his face, he stretched out his hand and made a five-dollar gesture.

Then he reacted and waved his hands with a smile: "Young man, don't be joking, I will take it seriously! Haha!"

"Uncle Zhang! I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Muster stood up and walked to Uncle Zhang to help pick vegetables.

"Uncle Zhang! How many vegetables can be grown in one acre of land?" Muster began to study the means of production.

"It's hard to explain. Weather and technology directly affect vegetable yields. For vegetables that can be put on the market in more than 20 days, the normal amount is about two thousand kilograms per acre. If it takes longer to grow cabbage and the like, the yield will be lower. It’s a bit higher, ranging from three to eight thousand catties per acre, it mainly depends on whether the planting is good and the weather is good or bad.”

Uncle Zhang explained the basic situation of production clearly in a few words.

"How much does one acre of land cost?" Muster felt that the yield was okay and continued to learn more.

"The cost of growing leafy vegetables is relatively low. It only costs [-] to [-] per acre. The rest is our own management fee. To put it nicely, we make money growing vegetables, but to put it worst, we just make some money in the fields. If the weather is bad, we won’t even get the labor money back. If the price is bad, we won’t even have living expenses. Growing vegetables is not as stable as working.”

Uncle Zhang gave an overview of the income from growing vegetables in a few words.

"I understand. What Uncle Zhang means is that vegetable prices and output determine income, right?"

Muster is indeed a businessman, and he understands it as soon as he hears it.

"That's right! That's it."

"It's much simpler this way. Just think of ways to increase production and vegetable prices!" Muster said professionally.

"Haha! How can it be that simple? Improving the environment can prevent production cuts, but prices follow market conditions and are difficult to control!"

Uncle Zhang analyzed based on his own experience in the past few years: "There is another most critical problem, which is that the sales volume is limited. If you plant too much, you won't be able to sell it."

"Uncle Zhang! How many vegetables can you sell in a day?" Muster looked at Uncle Zhang curiously.

"I don't have much vegetables to go to the market now, and I only eat [-] kilograms of loofah a day, hehe!"

Uncle Zhang smiled naively: "Now is the season when we are short of vegetables. We don't have to worry about selling. The price is not bad. Wholesale is about three yuan per pound."

"Three yuan a pound, a thousand pounds a day, that's 3000 yuan! That's 9 yuan a month, wow! Uncle Zhang! Is it so rich to grow vegetables?"

Shen Caixia was dumbfounded after calculating the accounts. Company executives only received a basic salary of around [-] yuan a month, while white-collar workers only received [-] to [-] yuan a month.

"Hahahahahaha..." Uncle Zhang couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Caixia's silly look.

"Where can you pick so many things every day? It takes more than a month from planting to harvesting without any income. The income from growing vegetables is not calculated on a daily basis or a monthly basis, but on a quarterly basis. For example, my loofah this season, from planting to harvesting Xie Miao has five months. If I can sell 45 yuan in these five months, I will earn [-] yuan from the vegetables this season. If I can sell [-] yuan, I will earn [-] yuan from the vegetables this season. According to your calculation, I will not earn [-] yuan in five months. ah!"

"That's it!" Shen Caixia nodded as if she understood.

"You can make money by doing agriculture calculations, but you don't know whether you are making money or not until you plant it! Agriculture is difficult! Hehe!"

Uncle Zhang smiled, making people feel helpless and mysterious about farming.

While talking, a large frame of vegetables was cut without realizing it. Aunt Zhang went to get another vegetable frame to prepare for the next cut.

"Are these vegetables all for me?" Shen Caixia looked at the basket full of bright and green vegetables, feeling very fond of it.

"Yes! Cut some more, fry some for lunch, and pack up the rest." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"Aunt Zhang, don't cut it anymore. Enough is enough. I can't finish such a big basket."

Shen Caixia was so frightened that she couldn't finish eating such food for ten days and a half.

"You two share half of it each, and there won't be much food left if you separate, hehe!" Uncle Zhang smiled innocently.

"Do I have a share too? Thank you Uncle Zhang! Thank you Aunt Zhang!" Muster was flattered, but he didn't expect that he would also have food to take home.

"If you have time, come here. I can pick vegetables at any time. My daughter and son often come back to get vegetables. They are not used to the vegetables in the vegetable market. Every time they come, they take a few big boxes back to pack and put in the refrigerator. They They took it back and gave it to their friends. Everyone who has eaten my food has become addicted to it. When you came last time, my daughter and the others had just left, hahahahahaha..."

Uncle Zhang's face was filled with a happy smile when he talked about his dishes.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish the meal and waste such a good dish, hehe!" Shen Caixia smiled innocently, feeling happy.

"If you can't finish it, give it away! It's rare for you city dwellers to eat the vegetables I grow. These vegetables will get old in a few days, and when they get old they won't taste good. If they don't taste good, no one will eat them. No one will eat them." It’s a waste, those vegetables over there can be eaten again in ten or eight days.”

Uncle Zhang asked Aunt Zhang to take the frame and continue cutting vegetables.

"Did you also plant the vegetable seedlings over there?"

Shen Caixia looked at a patch of vegetable seedlings in the distance and curiously ran over to admire them.

"Uncle Zhang! I'll take some more back, hehe!"

Muster had a general understanding of the vegetable growing industry and decided to take some vegetables back for further research.

"No problem, I'll cut a little of each variety for you. I'll plant more for you next time of the varieties you like to eat."

Uncle Zhang is beaming. What he likes most is that others like to eat the vegetables he grows, which gives him a special sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Muster said politely, and followed Shen Caixia to see the small vegetable seedlings.

"Wow! These sprouts are so cute!"

Shen Caixia squatted on the edge of the ground and looked at the small vegetable seedlings happily. With her white and delicate hands, she gently and carefully stroked the growing small vegetable seedlings as if she had found a treasure, for fear of being damaged by herself.

Muster watched quietly as Shen Caixia carefully stroked the tender green vegetable seedlings. Her cautious look showed doting, admiration, and a hint of lovesickness hidden in her faint smile.

She was so beautiful, it felt like she was a fairy descending from heaven, and Muster's heart beat wildly.

With a racing heart, Muster walked to Shen Caixia and squatted down. He followed Shen Caixia's example and gently stroked the thriving young vegetable seedlings with his hands. He imitated Shen Caixia's tone and said, "What a cute little vegetable seedling." oh!"

"Yes! It turns out that Xiao Cai Miao is so cute, it's amazing!" Shen Caixia looked at Xiao Cai Miao in disbelief and couldn't put it down.

"You're cuter!" Muster's hand stroked along the small vegetable seedlings toward Shen Caixia's hand, and he grabbed Shen Caixia's hand and looked at Shen Caixia emotionally: "You are so beautiful!"
