Chapter 21: 21. Old customer_1

“Twenty.” Though indifferent, there was no particular fondness either.

Song Tan had no intention of giving a discount.

“What?!”

Wa Qianqian was unhappy — where had she ever seriously bought groceries before? Now that she heard the price, she felt like Song Tan was taking advantage of her knowing they were old classmates.

“It’s just wild vegetables, there’s no cost to it. Why should it be so expensive? Song Tan, we are old classmates, you can’t rip people off like this.”

No sooner had she said this than an auntie suddenly squeezed in from behind:

...

“Aiyo, are there any vegetables left — only three bundles? Then I’ll take them all!”

The auntie, with practiced ease, bagged all three bundles while awkwardly squinting to scan the QR code for the group, mumbling on and on:

“I was the first to buy, just wanted to try something fresh. I didn’t expect that after making noodles at home, my granddaughter ate such a big bowl! You don’t know how picky she is… Now that I’m in the group, young lady if you come tomorrow, just let me know in advance, okay?”

After finishing her words, she dug out sixty yuan from her pocket and swiftly handed it to Qiaoqiao, her eyes brimming with affection:

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

“Dear child, auntie will come to you for vegetables next time!”

The auntie, satisfied with her haul, strode off triumphantly.

Wa Qianqian and her boyfriend stood awkwardly in place — they had not expected that, after being so picky and accusing a classmate of overcharging, someone else would not even haggle and just buy everything up.

Are these wild vegetables really so rare and tasty?

With this thought lingering in their minds, the more they thought about it, the more convinced they became that they must be delicious!

After hesitating for a while, Wa Qianqian’s boyfriend pulled out his phone and quietly scanned the group’s QR code.

…

Song Tan checked her phone, feeling quite satisfied: Ah! Seventeen group members, and she had already secured a return customer in just one morning. Not bad!

She took Qiaoqiao’s pinwheel, gave it a “whoosh” of breath, and the colorful pinwheel started spinning rapidly, with Qiaoqiao happily watching her:

“Sister, have you sold everything?”

“All sold out!” Song Tan also pointed at the basket, “Qiaoqiao, pack up, sister will call a car to pick us up.”

After a pause, she asked, “Do we have any money left?”

Qiaoqiao patted her pocket and flipped the rest of the change to her — with the sixty from the auntie, there was a total of seventy-five left.

The pinwheel cost five, so it seemed that no extra money was charged.

Song Tan simply handed back fifteen: “Go on, buy whatever else you like. Qiaoqiao, you’ve worked so hard these past days!”

The siblings acted as if no one else was there, and by the time they looked back around, Wa Qianqian and her boyfriend had already disappeared.

…

The wild vegetables sold unexpectedly fast, and Uncle Wang was still surprised when he came to pick them up:

“Doing so well? Tantan, you must have sold them cheap, right?”

Otherwise, with fresh and tender greenhouse vegetables available all over the market — clean and neatly arranged — there would be no way wild vegetables could sell so well if not for a good price.

Those three baskets this morning were packed solid; that was no small amount!

Song Tan smiled, “Not bad, wild vegetables are still scarce now, everyone wants to try something fresh.”

That was true.

Not until the season for wild vegetables really started, around Qingming Festival, would they hit the market.

The siblings returned home, and it wasn’t even ten o’clock in the morning.

Song Tan settled that day’s car hire fee and watched the car drive away. As soon as she got home, she suggested to her dad:

“Dad, why don’t you find time to get a driving license?”

She showed the money to Wu Lan: “We can still sell wild vegetables for a while, but hiring a car for one day costs two hundred. When we really start growing vegetables in our fields, can we afford a car hire every day?”

That would be six thousand yuan a month, but buying a Wuling van would only cost a few tens of thousands of yuan. It would be even cheaper with installments.

“`

After all the calculations, it is really cost-effective!

However, Song Sancheng felt he was getting on in years, “I won’t learn, I won’t learn. When Uncle Zhou went to learn the year before last, he couldn’t remember Subject One’s questions to save his life. I’m already over fifty, why should I bother learning that!”

“Besides, don’t you have a driver’s license? You can just drive.”

He was frightened before the battle had even begun.

Song Tan didn’t pressure him, “Then Mom, you go learn. I think you are more dependable than Dad, and more suited to driving.”

Wu Lan hesitated only for a moment before agreeing immediately, “That’s just the way your dad is. If I am to learn, then I will learn. I picked up riding a motorcycle very quickly back then! Tantan, you’re so smart now because you take after me!”

Song Sancheng: …

He… he wasn’t completely against learning… Why not persuade him a little more?

But Song Tan encouraged Wu Lan, “Mom, you can definitely do it—we sell vegetables every day, they are so tasty and expensive, if Uncle Wang asks for the price, it’s awkward whether I tell him or not. It’s more convenient to have our own car.”

“That’s true,” Wu Lan was also thinking: If everyone knew that wild vegetables could make money and they all swarmed there, it would be hard to get a good price later on.

And strangely enough, when she strolled around the village that morning, everywhere was barren. Only behind their house and by the pond was there a lush green.

Aiyo! This is an opportunity given by the heavens!

Moreover, the wild vegetables on their land this year were indeed delicious. If the villagers wanted to pick and sell them secretly, being neighbors, how would it be determined clearly in the fields who could eat the wild vegetables and who couldn’t?

But twenty yuan a jin, if you eat it yourself, how extravagant!

Looking at the 1,500 yuan her daughter brought home today, the main cost was just the two hundred yuan for transportation…

She steeled her heart, “Go check the wild vegetables tomorrow, and if they’re still tasty, sell them the day after tomorrow. After selling, don’t rush back, go buy a car.”

“I heard that vans aren’t expensive now, right?”

Spiritual Energy isn’t depleted in just one eating, more of it is hidden in the roots! The taste of the wild vegetables is beyond doubt in the short term.

As for buying a car…

Song Tan stretched out her hand, “Give me the card, and bring the documents. I’ll go to the city with my dad this afternoon to have a look. And by the way, I just got a message that my ID is ready; I’ll pick it up from the town hall this afternoon.”

Then looking at Song Sancheng, “Dad, don’t you know a lot of people? I remember one uncle who specializes in second-hand cars, let’s go buy a Wuling.”

In the countryside, besides other vehicles, Little Pika and small vans are the most practical.

Delivering vegetables, after all, is there any need for off-roading?

You can pick one for just thirty thousand!

Now, Wu Lan, as decisive as she was, shuddered inwardly, “You just earned one thousand five, and now you want to spend thirty thousand?”

“Waiting another day is a cost of two hundred yuan, Mom!” Song Tan was also earnest.

In the end, the two hundred yuan won over Wu Lan by a slim margin.

She went back to her room and resolutely stuffed the card into Song Tan’s hand:

“Take it, take it all!”

“There’s sixty thousand in there, spend it however you like. I don’t want your earnings, and don’t come to me if you run out.”

Previously she had refused because she thought it was unreliable.

Now, well, it may still be unreliable, but it seemed like they were really considering how to make money.

Looking at Qiaoqiao, holding a pinwheel in one hand and a bubble machine in the other, twirling around in the yard, having completely forgotten about Peppa.

What else were she and her husband working hard for half their lives for, if not their two children?

Thinking this way, Wu Lan felt less worried.

Song Tan: …

Could such good things happen?!

She eagerly took the card and said in a hurry, “Dad, hurry up, make a call and ask around!”
