Chapter 58 Wang Xiu (1)
Xia Shiyu no longer worries about selling vegetables in the city; the residents who have tried them have become loyal fans, and word has spread far and wide.
Xia Shiyu's dishes not only sell out successfully each time, but sometimes they are even in short supply.
After all, she still needs to retain a portion for the suppliers, so she doesn't have to worry about selling it.
Gradually, the villagers stopped denying her decision to quit her job and return home to farm. Instead, those who ate her food started to promote her.
"The vegetables that Shi Yu grows are especially delicious. The other day I saw her hand Shi Yu a fish as she passed by, and the girl immediately handed me the vegetables from her basket. We used them to cook that day, and they were so delicious."
"That's right. I live near their house and I can often smell the aroma of their stir-fries. It's even more enticing than the smell of meat. In the end, I couldn't resist going up to buy some to try, and it really is delicious."
“The vegetables I bought from him last time were sent to my son, and my dear granddaughter loved them. Now my son tells me that he should send some to him more often.”
"Sigh, this young man is really bold and capable; he's even good at growing vegetables."
The others listened to the boasting of the people in front of them with surprised and uncertain looks in their eyes.
"Really? Is it as good as you say?"
"You two aren't just friends, are you? You're just saying this on purpose."
"That's right, that's right, but we have to tell the truth."
Aunt Yanni was displeased. "Oh, look at what you're saying! If you don't believe me, go buy some and try them yourselves. You'll eat them and not say a word."
"Okay, then."
When the others heard that Yanni and her group were angry, they stopped saying anything, but they all had their own thoughts.
Jenny could tell that some people in the group were not entirely convinced, but she didn't care anymore; it was their loss if they couldn't eat these dishes.
However, some people also took Yanni's words to heart. After Wang Xiu and the others dispersed, they pulled Yanni aside to ask about the situation.
"Yanni, you have to tell me, is the Yu family's cuisine really that delicious right now?"
"Oh dear, would I lie to an old man like you? Don't worry, you'll be satisfied with the food."
Wang Xiu was relieved to hear this. Her daughter-in-law had recently given birth to her second child, and it was inconvenient for her to take care of her at home. She planned to go to the city to take care of her daughter-in-law for a while.
Of course, I can't go up empty-handed; I have to bring some of my old hen, eggs, and other grains and vegetables from home.
While she was preparing, she heard the villagers say that Xia Shiyu's family's dishes were delicious, and she couldn't help but be tempted to bring some up for her daughter-in-law as well.
After hearing Yanni's words, she believed them to some extent. People in the village often liked to spread good news, so there was no need to lie to her about it. Xia Shiyu's family's dishes must really be delicious.
After making up her mind, Wang Xiu went home, took the money, and went to the Xia family to buy groceries.
"Where are you going?" his wife asked curiously.
"I'm going to buy groceries. I've heard that Shi Yu's family grows delicious vegetables. I'll buy some to go up to Zhenzhen and the others tomorrow and cook something delicious for them."
"Oh, I've also heard that Lihua's family's food is delicious. Why don't you go and buy some for the children?"
"Uh-huh"
After Wang Xiu explained everything, she started heading towards Xia Shiyu's house.
Xia Shiyu's family was tidying up the vegetables at home. Although the vegetables were growing very neatly, they still needed to be cleaned and arranged neatly, and some even needed to be tied up.
A group of people were busy working enthusiastically.
As soon as Wang Xiu entered, she saw this scene and quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, Lianrong, Delu is back."
Wang Xiu greeted Xia Shiyu's maternal grandparents.
Xia Shiyu got up and glanced at her. Her maternal grandmother was Yu Lianrong, and her maternal grandfather, Xia Delu, was of the same generation as Wang Xiu, so she called him by his name directly.
Grandma greeted her, "Oh my, Wang Xiu is here! Sit down, sit down. Xiao Yu, go get some water."
"Okay," Xia Shiyu nodded and went to get the water.
Wang Xiu quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. I just wanted to talk to you about something. I'm not thirsty, no need for water."
"Oh oh"
Her grandparents nodded and then asked her what brought her here.
Wang Xiu glanced at Xia Shiyu first, then spoke kindly, "I heard from Yanni that your food is very delicious. My daughter-in-law is having her second child, and I have to go upstairs to take care of her during her postpartum period, so I thought I'd buy some vegetables from here for her to eat and get some nutrition."
Grandma chuckled and said, "Oh, is that what it is? Then you have to tell Xiaoyu. But it's easy. We don't use a lot of pesticides when we grow vegetables. They're very healthy and good for your health."
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu stepped forward. Although her parents and grandparents would help her with chores, they usually let her handle business matters on her own. At most, her parents would go to town to sell vegetables by themselves.
However, all the money from the sale went to Xia Shiyu.
Xia Shiyu felt helpless. She felt that there was no need to be so clear about the distinctions, but her parents, even her family, felt that she needed to be clear about things when doing business.
Xia Shiyu thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. However, she changed her approach and directly offered to pay her parents' wages, which wouldn't be refused by them. After all, it was considered as working for her, and she would also pay her grandparents who came to help.
Xia Lihua and Yu Juan thought about it and accepted the arrangement.
Xia Shiyu asked Wang Xiu, "Grandma Wang, all the vegetables I grow are available in this yard. Just buy whatever you need."
Wang Xiu took a careful look at the yard and was very satisfied with the neatly arranged bundles of fresh, green vegetables.
“I’ll just take a few pounds of each. If my daughter-in-law likes them later, I’ll have my husband come here to buy them and deliver them to her.”
Xia Shiyu: "Okay, Grandma Wang, if you want to buy more later, you can just go to the city and find our stall. We have a stall in the county town and sometimes we will send WeChat messages when we come out."
"Sigh, never mind. My son and daughter-in-law live in another area of the county, so it won't be convenient for them to come and buy it. We can bring it with us, or if all else fails, you can mail it to us."
Wang Xiu explained the reason, otherwise she would definitely have gone to the city to buy it directly.
"Okay, Grandma, I'll pack it up for you, and you can take it back."
Xia Shiyu got up and carefully packed the food into several large plastic bags. She wouldn't skimp on the price, but she could give more quantity.
As Xia Shiyu handed it over, she added, "Grandma Wang, my vegetables are a bit pricey. If you don't like them, you can buy less."
"Oh, no need. My mother-in-law already found out. I have money and don't need to worry about that."
Wang Xiu handed over the money. Although she felt a little bad about spending more than 100 yuan on these dishes, milk and supplements were also expensive. She felt she should buy some good food to replenish her body's vitamins.
Xia Shiyu observed that Wang Xiu's expression didn't seem reluctant, so she confidently gave her the food.
Wang Xiu happily carried the groceries and prepared to go back. "Okay, then I'll go back."
"Okay, take it easy, be careful not to fall." Xia Shiyu walked a few steps and then turned back.
