Chapter 32, Doing This Kind of Dirty Work
Early the next morning, Zhang Kun came over.
The market opened early, but Ji Zixuan and the others were still in bed.
Li Xu did not have time to prepare breakfast. She left Ji Zixuan two Yuan and asked him to bring his younger siblings out to buy some breakfast. Then, together with Zhang Kun, they moved two bamboo baskets of vegetables to the market.
After paying the money, Zhang Kun brought Li Xu to the market to settle down.
In 1996, S City’s greenhouse technology was not very developed. Therefore, most of the vegetables bought in the market were seasonal vegetables like cabbage and potatoes.
There were also anti-seasonal vegetables like Li Xu, but they had all been transported over a long distance. Naturally, they were not as good in terms of quality.
Therefore, when Li Xu placed arranged them, it attracted a lot of people.
It was past seven in the morning. It was the busiest time in the market.
Li Xu had been selling vegetables for so many days, and she had also prepared.
She brought a small knife and cut a tomato, a cucumber, and a radish.
In the space, Li Xu added many more vegetables.
Although the radish was also a seasonal vegetable, Li Xu tasted it herself.
This radish was different from ordinary radishes. Ordinary radishes were slightly spicy. It was okay to eat them as food, but if they were eaten as snacks, they would be too spicy.
This radish was different. It was full of water and the taste of the radish was very strong, it was not spicy at all. In fact, it was a little sweet.
Then, Li Xu opened her mouth and shouted, “Try it first, then buy it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it…”
Li Xu’s vegetables were of good quality. They didn’t even need to try it, just looking at it made them want to buy it.
Moreover, with one taste…
“This tomato is sour and sweet. It’s most suitable for making soup. Big Sister, give me five catties.”
“This cucumber is crisp and has some sweetness. Not only can it be used for cooking, but it can also be eaten as a fruit. Big Sister, give me ten catties of cucumber.”
“This radish is full of water. It’s not spicy at all. Big Sister, give me ten catties.”
…
As long as it was someone who had tasted Li Xu’s vegetables, they would buy it. Moreover, it was five catties and ten catties in one go.
There were even some who wanted twenty catties.
Li Xu took the plastic bag and swiftly filled it with the vegetables for them. She tried to persuade them, “Thank you for your patronage, but I come here every day. Everyone can buy less. If you buy too much and can’t finish it, it won’t be fresh anymore…”
A woman smiled and said, “You’re different from them. They can’t wait for us to buy more.”
These words offended other people, and the other vendors were watching from the side.
Li Xu smiled and said, “This is different. They are all seasonal vegetables, such as cabbage and potatoes. These kinds of things can be stored, so it’s easier to buy more.”
Originally, when the others saw how popular Li Xu was, they didn’t feel good about it.
Now that they saw Li Xu speaking up for them. Moreover, Li Xu’s business was good, but the products she sold were different from theirs. It means that she hadn’t stolen their business.
Therefore, everyone’s impression of Li Xu was a little better.
Li Xu had sold all the vegetables in less than half an hour.
It was not even 8:30 pm yet. If she could make it in time, she could sell another batch.
Li Xu Thought for a moment, then quickly went home with two bamboo baskets.
Fortunately, she had prepared more vegetables last night. Otherwise, she would have to sell a lot less.
After Zhang Kun helped Li Xu settle down, he went to handle his own matters.
After all, it was the public canteen, they could not always eat some rare vegetables.
Cheap vegetables like potatoes and cabbages also eaten frequently.
Without Zhang Kun’s help, Li Xu was really struggling to carry the two bamboo baskets.
When Li Xu returned to the market with the two bamboo baskets by herself, there were already many people gathered in front of the stall.
In less than half an hour, the vegetables that she brought were sold out again.
Li Xu was exhausted after busying around for so long.
She went home and counted the money. Just this morning alone, she had earned seventy to eighty yuan.
In a month, she could earn at least two thousand yuan.
Ji Jianguo has a high education, and his salary was considered high among ordinary people. But he only earned six hundred Yuan a month.
She could earn two thousand Yuan a month!
When Li Xu calculated this, she was shocked.
Yuanyuan’s space was really a treasure. Other than seed money and labor, there was no other cost. She could actually earn so much money in a month!
As she thought about it, Li Xu felt a lingering fear.
If others knew about this treasure, Yuanyuan would be in trouble.
At night, Ji Yuanyuan, who had returned home from school felt that Li Xu was a little strange.
She kept looking at her secretly as if she has something on her face.
Soon, it was the weekend.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were sensible. They were afraid that it would be too hard for Li Xu to work alone, so they woke up early in the morning. There were two bamboo baskets in total. The two brothers carried one basket, while Li Xu carried one herself. Ji Yuanyuan was holding Li Xu’s hand from behind.
A few of them went to the market.
...
Ji Yuanyuan was sweet-tongued. She kept calling out to Aunts and Uncles at the market. Soon, she captured the hearts of the vendors next door to Li Xu.
All kinds of sweets and snacks filled Ji Yuanyuan’s pockets.
Ji Zi’ang looked at them and felt a little envious.
He really could not understand it. They were all children and their surnames were Ji.
Why did Yuanyuan always have people giving her sweets to eat, but he received so little?
Speaking of which, they had already finished eating all the chocolate at home. He did not know if Uncle Qin still remembered him.
They heard that Qin Mucheng was coming over during the winter break, so he would probably bring some chocolate back, right?
“Aiyo, why is it you, Sister?” Just as Ji Zi’ang was puzzled, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
He turned around and saw that it was Shen Mei, that bad woman.
“Who is your Sister?” Ji Zi’ang rushed to Li Xu and said aggressively to Shen Mei.
Li Xu was busy and had no time to respond to Shen Mei. She merely glanced at her and calmly averted her gaze.
...
Ji Yuanyuan did not expect to see Shen Mei here.
From the looks of it, she seemed to be living quite well. She did not know how she resolved the matter that day.
That was true. Shen Mei had always been skilled, this small matter should not be a problem in her eyes.
As long as she cried in front of Ji Jianguo and pillow talk him, Ji Jianguo, this fool, would eagerly stand in front of her.
“Sister, how can you bring your child to such a place? To do such dirty work? Are you short of money to spend?” Shen Mei pretended to be surprised and said, “No matter how short of money you are, you can’t bring your child to such a place. What can a child who grew up in a vegetable market do?”
She clicked her tongue, “Zi’ang’s grades weren’t that good, right? I heard he was one or two of the worst in the class!”
Initially, Li Xu was busy ignoring her, but how could she tolerate her child being dragged into this again and again?
“Yes, my child is naturally not as good as your child. Since you’re so amazing, I think your daughter will be like you in the future, a mistress of a married man.”
Initially, Shen Mei scolded everyone in the market with her words.
She said that selling vegetables was a dirty and tiring job.
The people beside her naturally did not like Shen Mei. When they heard Li Xu scolding her, they all laughed out loud.
