The two parties agreed that Martin Liang made an overseas call to the rose garden owner he knew, and the other party was also very straightforward. After all, for their rose garden, selling flower seedlings is also one of their incomes. I heard that Martin Liang wanted to buy For the flower seedlings, the other party promised to wait for the flowering period in May and June, and send them a batch of flower seedlings after the Damascus rose enters the summer dormant period.

Because Martin Liang had some friendship with the owner of the rose garden, the price offered by the other party was quite reasonable.But to be fair, this amount of money is still not a small amount. The payment for the goods is only a part, and there are also customs duties and shipping fees. The sum of these two is more than the payment for the goods.

"Look, you kid, you usually find it troublesome to make money, but now you're blind?" Seeing Romon scratching his ear and cheek, Martin guessed that he was short of money.

"What's the rush, there's still more than a month left." Luo Meng said calmly, but he didn't know what to do in his heart. Where will the money come from?

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Shulin asked him when there were only the two of them left.

"I don't know, let's go and see the loquats first." Luo Meng rubbed his nose, he still didn't believe it, he couldn't get money back for this mountain of things.

In the past few days, some loquats have matured one after another, but they are still not on a large scale. Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin walked around the loquat forest, picked more than a dozen ripe loquats, and squatted in the field to peel and eat them.

"Pick a few catties of loquats tomorrow morning and let those two from Jiweilou buy them back. We should be able to negotiate a good price." Luo Meng estimated in his heart that a catty should not be less than 30 yuan, otherwise he would not sell it.

"After all, his place is still a restaurant, and the sales of fruit are limited." Xiao Shulin looked at the large loquat forest on the hillside, and felt that Ma Congrong seemed to be unable to eat so much.

"At that time, we will sell some in our town. The vegetables in our field are almost grown. We can collect some and sell them together in a few days."

"Is it in our house?" Xiao Shulin asked.

"Well, I'll go to town to make a billboard in a while."

"Let's sell vegetables by ourselves?" Xiao Shulin asked again.

"Yeah, I have to do it myself." After all, selling vegetables is no different than anything else. There is no fixed amount of how much vegetables are sold every day, so it is not convenient to entrust others to do it.

"What about the crabs?" They still feed the crabs every morning.

"Let Luo Zhifang arrange this job. Let's go on patrol at noon and night. Nothing will happen. If you are worried, you can feed the crabs before going to town. I can handle it by myself." The work on the mountain can't be done by the two of them. Even the shop in the town, if there is a suitable person in the future, Romon will have to let others do it.

Xiao Shulin thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and asked Luo Meng, "What do you think of my dad?"

Xiao Shulin felt that Boss Xiao was a little too busy recently. Aunt Ayun still had her own business, but he was doing nothing all day long. He muttered for a long time, saying some annoying and mean words.

I heard from Aunt Ayun that some time ago an old woman in the neighborhood said some things to Xiao Shulin and Luo Meng. Boss Xiao became anxious immediately, and had a big fight with them, and made a lot of harsh words, which made the situation worse now. The neighbors are a little afraid of him, and the relationship between the neighbors is also strangely tense.

These were nothing, Xiao Shulin was mainly worried that if the old man went on like this, it would affect his relationship with Aunt Ayun.Xiao Shulin felt that the root of his father's problem might still be emotional anxiety. He had no sustenance in life. To put it simply, he was too busy and needed to find something for him to do.

"Is your father willing to do this?" Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin are a couple now, and Xiao Shulin's father is his own father. Although the old man has a bad temper and is a bit difficult to take care of, they are young You can't alienate him just because of this.

"I'll talk to him after finishing the billboards in the town later." Xiao Shulin just said that, and it depends on Boss Xiao's own opinion.

"I also have to talk to my father." Luo Meng thought for a while, and felt that he had to tell Old Man Luo about this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the old man would blame himself for not looking for him first, and instead went to the old man. After finding Xiao Shulin's father, he might be so awkward.

"Yes, you should also talk to your father first." Xiao Shulin felt a little thumping when he thought of the dark face of old man Luo when they served the wine.

After lunch, the two of them went to an advertising company in the town to make a signboard. It was very simple. Their house was originally a storefront. The piece of cloth on the billboard can be changed, and everything on the iron shelf is ready-made.

The name of the store is "Niuwangzhuang Agricultural Products Direct Store". The shelves in the store were ordered by the two of them by transporting the wooden strips by themselves. So they went back to their homes to find their fathers.

"Show shop? What shop should I show him?" In Buffalo Town, Mrs. Xiao, at the dinner table, when the old man heard Xiao Shulin asked him to show Romon the shop, his eyebrows immediately raised.

"Why is it Luo Meng's shop? Your son doesn't have a share?" After nearly half a year of marriage, Auntie Ayun spoke more casually with Boss Xiao.

"Let them run their own shop." Boss Xiao still showed a lack of interest.

"Hey, woods, if your dad doesn't go, I'll go. I heard that the neighbor's aunt Zhang said that the goji berry leaves in Niuwangzhuang are now being passed on. When your store opens, will you sell goji berries? Ye Zi?" Aunt Ayun glanced at Boss Xiao, and said to Xiao Shulin with a smile.

"That's right, brother Shulin, didn't you say that you planted some loquats last year, are they ripe now?" The third girl in their family is young, and she can call Xiao Shulin brother most easily.

"The medlar tree is still too young. It doesn't sell its leaves now. The loquat is almost ripe, and there will be strawberries and red bayberries in a while." Xiao Shulin took a bite of rice, and thanked Aunt Ayun and Sanya for their kindness in his heart, but who was Xiao Shulin? Ah, he grew up next to this gangster, and he didn't take Boss Xiao's black face seriously at all, and he was used to it long ago.

"There are strawberries! Last time my uncle bought two catties of strawberries from the street. They are not delicious at all, far worse than those in Niuwangzhuang." When they heard about strawberries, the girls in the family were all excited. The three girls didn't eat less of the strawberries planted in the big shed last year.

"Eat what you have, if you don't like it." Aunt Ayun scolded.Because the children in the family were grown up, she didn't ask Boss Xiao to change their words after they got married. The three girls all called Boss Xiao Uncle, and Xiao Shulin also called her Aunt.

"What's more, you didn't eat a few of them yourself, but I was afraid of wasting them, so I ate them all in the end." The big girl wrinkled her nose and began to expose her mother's faults.

"It's hard for you to eat a few strawberries." Boss Xiao would be more kind when speaking to these girls. After all, they are girls, so can they be the same as their son?Little bastard, every day he was relieved, he dared to dance with him when his fart was too big, he didn't get good grades when he was a child, and he made troubles for him when he grew up, so that the old man couldn't even hug his grandson...

"Mom, why don't you go to the store, we can go over and eat some strawberries and red bayberry." Er Ya gave her mother a bad idea.

"Don't count on your old lady for this matter. She doesn't even know how to weigh flowers, she even looks at the shop. Don't lose all your embroidery money by then."

"Now people do business with electronic scales."

"Then there are counterfeit coins."

"..."

Boss Xiao and Aunt Ayun were going back and forth, hearing Xiao Shulin's teeth a little sour, he quickly finished the last bite of rice, and put down his chopsticks: "This is how it is anyway, if you want to go there then, go and see look."

"Stinky boy! What are you running for? Hey, you haven't told me what day it is? What time is it?" Boss Xiao quickly asked when he saw that his son was about to leave and lost his airs.

"Saturday, seven o'clock in the morning." As soon as Xiao Shulin finished speaking, the sound of a car engine came from the yard.

When Xiao Shulin returned to Niuwangzhuang, he found that Luo Meng had already been in the courtyard. He was discussing with Chen Jianhua what vegetables could be delivered to the store on Saturday. Many dishes on their mountain had been arranged, some of which were Jiweilou and Yong. The high schools that Qing had ordered, some of which Liu Ruhua wanted to keep pickled vegetables, so she had to figure it out before picking up the vegetables.

"Did you tell your dad?" After Chen Jianhua left, Xiao Shulin asked Luo Meng.

"Say it." Romon smiled.

"What didn't he say?"

"No, the strawberries will be ripe soon, and the two of them are still busy making strawberry preserves."

In fact, the old man Luo has something to do, on the other hand, the old man is still a little pissed about the house. Hearing that Luo Meng and the others are going to open a store there, he doesn't want to get involved.But there is no need to tell Xiao Shulin about this, so as to save him from thinking too much.

Before returning to their hut, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin walked on the mountain again, looking at the growth of the crops everywhere, thinking about how this small hill was when it was first contracted by themselves, and looking at the large tracts of vegetables in front of them Melons, the satisfaction in Romon's heart.

Radishes, cabbage, water spinach, leeks, shallots, lettuce, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, sweet potato vines... Wait, sweet potato vines!When passing a large field of sweet potatoes, Romon stopped suddenly, frowned and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Master Chen, it's me, Luo Meng." After the call was connected, Luo Meng enthusiastically greeted Chen Fuhan on the other end of the phone.

"How can you still think of calling me at this time?" Chen Fuhan is obviously not as enthusiastic as Luo Meng. Since Niuwangzhuang shipped the last batch of pumpkins to him last year, he has never supplied the Chen family's old restaurant. So the two of them haven't been in touch for a long time. Chen Fuhan thought that his business was getting bigger, and he forgot about his career. .

"Hey, Master Chen, I still remember what you said last year, but you know that the things I grow on this mountain are quite mixed, and you need to be able to grow a single variety stably for a long time, no, From the beginning of this year's spring until now, I finally figured it out for you again." Luo Meng smiled sincerely into the phone.

"What is it?" Chen Fuhan asked him.

"Sweet potato vine." Romon said with great embarrassment.

"Hey, I said you young man really knows how to do business." Chen Fuhan grinned happily. He thought that a businessman like Ma Congrong was already the best in the world. He didn't expect that there was a thick-skinned man here. .

"Hey, Master Chen, you haven't eaten our sweet potato vines, so you may not know it. People in our town are all scrambling to buy it. If I didn't remember the agreement with you, I would have paid more for it. What?" Romon said as if it was true.

"Then tomorrow, let the two boys from Jiweilou bring some over for me to taste." Although this sweet potato vine is not a good thing to say, Chen Fuhan still has more confidence in Luomeng's Niuwangzhuang. He has seen the quality of those pumpkins, not to mention that Ma Congrong is still staring at this field, so it is probably unmistakable.

"How can a few catties be enough to taste? It's not a good thing. In this way, I will send you a hundred catties tomorrow. If you think it's inappropriate, just throw it away. I won't charge you." What is a little sweet potato vine worth?

"Then how much do you plan to sell per catty?" Chen Fuhan asked him.

"One catty here is five yuan. Master Chen, if you can ask for a hundred catties at a time, I'll give you another ten catties." While talking on the phone, Luo Meng had already made a decision. From now on, their sweet potato vines would be sold for a catty. five dollars.

"You're too dark, you dare to sell the rotten sweet potato vines on the street for five yuan for one yuan a catty?" Chen Fuhan's voice on the other end of the phone was still unhurried.

"Hey, don't talk about layman's words when you are old. The weather is so dry this year, and the prices of green leaves have increased. In our vegetable market, sweet potato vines are now two yuan a bunch, but theirs is not the same as ours. It must be incomparable." Five yuan a catty, one hundred catties is 500 yuan, and if the price is lowered, there will be no profit. Isn't there labor cost?

"Don't talk to you for now, I'll see the goods tomorrow." Chen Fuhan was not in a hurry.

"Okay!" Luo Meng responded quickly, and then asked: "How are the two wolfberry trees in Master Chen's house? Are they growing well this year?"

"It's okay, but I picked the leaves hard a few days ago, and I don't seem to be very energetic these two days." Luomeng's wolfberry forest is large, and it's okay to eat wolfberry leaves occasionally, and Chen Fuhan's family is fine. It's the same, no, it's hurt.

"It's okay, I'll ask them to bring you some fertilizer tomorrow, and you'll be able to recover in a few days after you fertilize it." Romon quickly comforted him.

"That's a good relationship. Let them bring some more, and the fruit trees on my side will also be fertilized." Not to mention, Chen Fuhan once suspected that the crops on this guy's mountain grow so much faster than those of Luo Meng. Others are good because there is a secret recipe for the fertilizer they retting.The two medlar trees that Luo Meng gave him last year were later transplanted into the yard together with the manure in the basket by him. As a result, even the grass growing in that field was stronger than other places.

"Okay!" Romon responded readily, and then hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

"Chen Jianhua has to arrange for someone to pick vegetables in the morning." Xiao Shulin said, tomorrow will be Friday and the day after tomorrow will be Saturday, and the number of vegetables to be produced every morning will increase a lot. Some vegetables can be picked the evening before, and some vegetables are best picked in the morning .

"Well, arrange to pick the vegetables, and then increase the wages." Among the old people who come to work in Niuwangzhuang, some are for the excitement here, but in fact they are not short of money, and some are really short of money and have difficulties at home.

The old people feel little, and the work of picking vegetables in the morning is not too heavy, so it is appropriate for them to do it, but the transportation is not convenient. Luo Meng plans to free up a few rooms for the old people who pick vegetables every morning, and let them live in Niuwangzhuang. For a few months, anyway, there were many empty rooms on the second floor of the courtyard.

But since arrangements are made this time, a certain degree of screening must be carried out. First, the elderly must be willing, second, they must be in good health, and finally, they must be able to work.It would be good to leave this job to Chen Jianhua. Anyway, this guy has been trying to rectify the personnel affairs in Niuwangzhuang for a long time.

As for the rest of the old people, of course, they still follow the old rules, come if they want to, and they can eat when they come, 30 yuan a day.

Chen Jianhua's work is very efficient. Luo Meng told him that night that day he would add 110 catties of sweet potato leaves. The next morning, he went to Buffalo Town to finish his breakfast, and then drove to the town again to pick up a few acquaintances. The old man came to work on the mountain.

This guy seems to have adapted well from a developed city to a remote mountain town. The old people in Buffalo Town heard that he used to work in a foreign-funded enterprise in a big city. How much is his monthly salary? That's rare.I also heard that he had diabetes, and many elderly people immediately found a friend. You must know that among these elderly people, there are not a few people with high blood sugar and high blood pressure.

On Friday morning, Chen Fuhan received 110 catties of sweet potato vines and two large baskets of fertilizer. The fertilizer was delivered to his home by an employee. The sweet potato vines were washed by the aunt who washed the vegetables for a few catties, and then soaked in a few catties of rice noodles. After a while, the smell of sweet potato and vine fried rice noodles wafted from the kitchen.

"Master! How can you cook this flavor? Did you hide something?" His two apprentices flattered with a playful smile.

"If you don't practice your skills well, you're trying to think of shortcuts to secret recipes. With people like you, what do you expect to achieve?" Chen Fuhan turned off the fire neatly, holding a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, and first filled himself with a bowl of rice noodles. , first picked up a few sticks of rice noodles and chewed them in his mouth, then tasted two pieces of sweet potato leaves, shook his head and said, "It's really good, I said how dare he sell it for five yuan a catty."

"Master, did this come from Buffalo Town again?" They all guessed when the car from Jiweilou came over today.

"Well, from now on, the two of you will set up a stall in front of our store every day, selling fried rice noodles." Chen Fuhan assigned tasks to them.

"Master, this is much more troublesome than cooking pumpkin porridge!" his two apprentices wailed.

"We have to use this method to deal with you two lazy people. Last year, I cooked pumpkin porridge for several months. Isn't the porridge cooking skills much improved?" It can also train apprentices and earn them a fortune in the old restaurant of the Chen family. Fame, but also increase income, what a great thing!

So at noon of this day, two large pots of fried rice noodles were set up at the entrance of the old restaurant of the Chen family. Restaurants buy ready-made food.

At this time, Luo Meng in Niuwangzhuang was calculating an account with Xiao Shulin. Sweet potato vines cost five yuan per catty, and one hundred catties was 500 yuan. ah!Take a look, you can easily earn 30 more, so Niuwangzhuang is not short of money, what is lacking is the eyes to find money.
