Chapter 17 I Refuse
"To be honest, your Chinese cabbage is top-notch both in terms of appearance and taste. After I bought your cabbage yesterday and went home, the back kitchen used cabbage to cook, and the whole kitchen smelled of cabbage."
Zhang Hong is telling the truth here, Xiao Yi must know it too, otherwise Xiao Yi would not set the price of his vegetables so high.
"A few days ago, the business of my restaurant fell into a slump. I used your Chinese cabbage to cook yesterday, and the business was extremely hot. I originally estimated that more than 200 catties of cabbage would take two or three days, but it turned out that one afternoon added one night. time is running out.”
I saw this kind of hot scene with my own eyes yesterday. The guests who came to the restaurant for dinner, two of the three dishes had cabbage as side dishes, and the taste of the dishes was improved several levels.
The guests ate well, and there were even less leftovers in the past. At night, the restaurant was full even the private rooms, and the Chinese cabbage that Xiao Yi sold to Zhang Hong used up a third of it within a day. two. "So Sister Zhang came here today to sell vegetables, right?"
"Yes, you can say no. Today I'm not just looking for you to buy vegetables. I hope you can take a look at this first."
Zhang Hong paused, and Zhang Hong's assistant took out a printed document from his bag, and handed it to Xiao Yi.
"this is……"
"Look first...you can ask me if you don't understand anything after reading it."
Xiao Yi took the document, and the words on the document appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes—vegetable purchase contract.
Next, Xiao Yi flipped through the contract. There were three pages in the contract. After a quick glance, the contract stated that as long as the vegetables Xiao Yi grew, Zhang Hong would pay five times the market price to buy them. For cabbage, the above price is five yuan per catty.
The price given is very attractive. I believe that all the vegetable growers in Beitang County will not be able to sell at this price, but one point is also separately stated that the vegetables grown by Xiao Yi can only be sold to Ke Yuanda restaurant, otherwise it is a breach of contract.
If there is a breach of the contract, there will naturally be liquidated damages. Xiao Yi understood what Zhang Hong was thinking, with a smile on his face, he closed the contract calmly, and pushed it forward. "What? Don't you think the price is not appropriate? We can discuss the price of vegetables."
Xiao Yi shook his head. The assistant beside Zhang Hong felt angry when he saw Xiao Yi's expression, and spoke with emotion.
"Could it be that you want to sit on the ground and raise the price? It's enough for our boss to give you such a high price. Don't you know what's good or bad."
"Xiaofang, shut up, people have their own ideas, what are you talking about here!"
Zhang Hong scolded, turned around and Zhang Hong looked at Xiao Yi, with a very tangled look on his face.
"Xiao Yi, do you feel dissatisfied? As I said before, things can be discussed. If you have any ideas, you can also talk about them."
"Sister Zhang, let me just say it straight. I, Xiao Yi, grow and sell vegetables at ease, and I don't want to sign any vegetable purchase contracts. Right now I'm short of funds, and many conditions are immature. When the time is right, I will definitely expand my cultivation. The scale of the vegetables may be hundreds of acres of vegetables, may I ask if your restaurant still has such a big appetite at that time?"
"This... I didn't think about it. I thought you only planted a small piece of vegetables. Could it be that you can grow these green vegetables on a large scale?"
"Nothing is impossible. As I said, because of the limited conditions now, I, Xiao Yi, can only start step by step, so I can only say sorry to Sister Zhang here, and I absolutely cannot sign this contract." Xiao Yi has My own ideas will never stop in the future. I am a vegetable seller, and he has to step by step to realize his ideals.
"It turns out that's the case. I misunderstood you before. I thought you were going to raise prices on the ground and wanted to increase the prices of vegetables. If this is the case, then treat it as if I didn't mention the contract."
"Sister Zhang, don't worry about the price of vegetables. I, Xiao Yi, will not do such unethical things. In business, I, Xiao Yi, pay attention to reputation." "Well said, you must be a big deal in the future Yes, I also believe that you will do it."
Now that Xiao Yi has made it clear, it doesn't make any sense for Zhang Hong to say anything about the contract, and ask the assistant to put the contract away.
After chatting with Xiao Yi for a while, Zhang Hong visited Xiao Yi's vegetable garden. Xiao Yi still used the previous statement to push the matter of vegetables to the scientists.
Anyway, no one can tell the truth about science. After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Zhang Hong didn't have the slightest doubt. For Zhang Hong, she didn't care about the process of growing vegetables, but the vegetables grown.
"Hey...the one in this bottle is honey, right?"
"Yes, Sister Zhang, there is indeed honey in it. I got it out of a beehive today."
Before Zhang Hong left, he saw that the bottle of honey that Xiao Yi brought back was quite attractive, so he asked casually.
"Hey, this is pure natural honey. Xiao Yi, can you sell me some? My daughter likes to drink honey water. Most of the honey sold in supermarkets has been added with additives."
"Sister Zhang, what are you talking about buying or not? I'm here for nothing. If you need it, I'll pour half of it for you."
"No, no, no, what a shame, I can't take your things for nothing."
Speaking of which, Xiao Yi had already found a bottle, poured half of the honey for Zhang Hong, and kept the half for himself.
"Sister Zhang, don't worry, my vegetable growing business has just started, and I still need your support. This bit of honey is for Sister Zhang."
Xiao Yi said with a smile, Zhang Hong felt embarrassed not to accept it, and accepted the honey Xiao Yi gave, and Xiao Yi sent Zhang Hong away.
"Xiao Yi, why did this woman come to our house?"
"It's nothing, grandpa. She wanted to sign a contract with me to buy vegetables, but I didn't agree."
"What? You're talking about ordering food in the vegetable garden? You need to sign a contract for ordering food, and there's not even half an acre of land."
Xiao Shan didn't know what Xiao Yi's plan was, he thought that Zhang Hong came to the house just to order food in his vegetable garden.
"You don't know something about grandpa. I plan to expand the scale of planting in the future. Although we only have such a vegetable garden now, in the future this vegetable garden will become tens of acres or even hundreds of acres of land. I will try my best to let Grandpa and Xiao Ya live a good life."
"Xiao Yi has grown up, but it doesn't matter what a good life is, as long as you and Xiao Ya are safe and sound, it's better than anything else."
Xiao Yi had a lot to say in his heart, and he didn't know how to say it when he reached his mouth. Grandpa would say the same sentence every time, I hope he is safe and well.
After sending Zhang Hong away, the people in the village began to feel curious about Xiao Yi, why did Xiao Yi go back to the village to farm the land after being a good soldier.
