What Liu Yuebing said made Li Yuan's eyes light up, he touched his head and smiled, "Of course that's fine! Actually, I also have the same idea, but I'm not ashamed to tell you that."
"Haha, I know you are a young man with a quick mind, so you should be able to think of this way!" Liu Yuebing praised Li Yuan, and then said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed at all, these tomatoes are of such good quality, you can't use them." How long will it take for someone to come to your door and ask you to supply, I'm just one step ahead of others."
Speaking of this, Liu Yuebing frowned, and said to Li Yuan sincerely: "However, no matter how good the quality of tomatoes is, the variety is still too single. If you want to gain a foothold in the catering circle, you must have more varieties of vegetables."
Li Yuan had already planned to devote himself to agriculture, so he nodded deeply and said: "You are right, there should be other varieties of vegetables on the market recently, and I will send some over at that time, please help me check it out. If you also If you think it’s good, then buy some more.”
Liu Yuebing nodded and said, "That's no problem. If the quality is as good as tomatoes, I'll ask for more if you don't tell me."
Speaking of this, Liu Yuebing paused for a moment, and then continued: "I am quite popular in the catering circle. As long as your vegetables are really good, I will definitely recommend them to other colleagues. I am afraid that your vegetables will be in short supply. "
Although he just met Liu Yuebing today, Li Yuan could tell that he was a very real person. Now that Liu Yuebing had brought his words to this point, Li Yuan quickly thanked him and at the same time became more confident about his future.
After coming out of Xinghualou, Li Yuan rode a tricycle back. Although he has been busy for most of the day today, he is in a very happy mood. Li Yuan knew that getting to know Liu Yuebing can be said to be a very big gain, and it will be very helpful for his future career.
But the problem facing Li Yuan right now is how to grow so many different kinds of vegetables. After all, if you want to supply major hotels and restaurants, the amount you need will certainly not be small. Even with the help of Jinzhu, it would definitely not work to plant them in his small courtyard.
"Let's ask Lao Liao to see what he can do." When he returned to the village in the city, Li Yuan made a decision.
As usual, Lao Liao, who is handicapped, still makes bamboo carvings at home. Hearing Li Yuan's familiar footsteps, he asked without even raising his head, "I heard you went to sell tomatoes again today?"
"Yes." Li Yuan didn't hide from Lao Liao, sat down on the small stool next to him and said, "I've already decided that I will devote myself to agriculture in the future and become a vegetable farmer!"
Lao Liao was very familiar with Li Yuan, and he could tell from the tone of his words that he was not joking, so he stopped what he was doing, looked at Li Yuan and said slowly, "Boy, are you really going to farm?"
"It's not farming, it's farming." Li Yuan corrected Lao Liao's words, and then said confidently: "As long as you can make money and don't violate the law, it doesn't matter what you do!"
Lao Liao nodded and said, "Speaking of which, it's the right thing to do, much better than you messing around now. It's just... are you sure you can do it well?"
"Of course I decided after thinking it over." Li Yuan said confidently: "Do you still remember the tomatoes I brought you a few days ago? It was a new variety that I got from a friend. He has other tomatoes over there." New varieties of vegetable seeds can be provided to me at low prices."
Lao Liao nodded and said, "The tomatoes last time were really good, both in appearance and taste. If other varieties of vegetables are also of this level, you can really try this way."
Li Yuan said: "I think so too, but the biggest problem now is that there is no place to grow vegetables. I didn't plan to make it big at first, as long as I can have a few acres of land nearby. You are familiar with people in this area. Can you ask me a question?"
Lao Liao lit a cigarette and thought for a while, then slowly said to Li Yuan: "Speaking of this, I do remember that there was an old couple from Shandong who cultivated a vegetable field at the end of Guanqian Street. They said they are going back to their hometown, but I can help you to ask. If they didn’t give up the vegetable field to others, you can take it in all likelihood.”
Li Yuan happily said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now!"
Lao Liao regards Li Yuan as his junior and has always been very concerned about him. Seeing that Li Yuan was full of enthusiasm for this matter, Lao Liao was unambiguous, and immediately went out with him on crutches.
Lao Liao had difficulty moving, and the two of them walked for a while before arriving at the open space he mentioned earlier. The open space is located at the end of Guanqian Street, about seven or eight acres in size. It used to be a residential area, but after the relocation, it became an open space. Later, I heard that the developer's capital chain was broken, and there has been no movement for several years.
There is a wall as high as a person around the open space, but as long as you turn a corner, you can see a dilapidated small door. Lao Liao was not polite either, he directly opened the door and went in and shouted loudly: "Old Zhang, is Lao Zhang here?"
"Here!" An old man about the same age as Lao Liao responded, followed by an old lady of the same age, who should be the old couple from out of town that Lao Liao mentioned.
Lao Liao and Lao Zhang knew each other very well, so he said with a smile, "Old Zhang, I heard that you two are going back to your hometown?"
"Yes." Lao Zhang nodded and said, "We are all old, and we can't make much money if we stay here anyway. We should go back and enjoy a few years of happiness."
Lao Liao nodded and said, "It's a good thing for the leaves to return to their roots. The old couple have gone back. Is there still someone to take care of that vegetable field?"
"That piece of land has been deserted for more than a year. It's old and can't be moved." Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "Who will grow vegetables for themselves now? I'm afraid that piece of land will always be barren."
This situation was exactly what Li Yuan wanted, and he couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Zhang, why don't you just give me this piece of land, I want to grow some vegetables myself, okay?"
Lao Zhang glanced at Li Yuan in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with this? Anyway, our old couple will go back the day after tomorrow. If you want, you can come and grow vegetables at any time. It's just that the land has been barren for a long time. , you have to fix it first."
"That's no problem, then we'll make a deal!" Li Yuan nodded quickly, then took out a few hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Lao Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, this is my wish, please accept it."
Lao Zhang quickly declined and said, "I can't accept the money! This land is not mine in the first place. Anyone can plant it after I leave. What's the trick of giving money!"
Li Yuan insisted: "Uncle Zhang, anyway, you have spent your labor to reclaim this land. I have been honored by you. This is not a lot of money. It is my heart. You must not dislike it." .”
Lao Liao glanced at Li Yuan with satisfaction, and helped him persuade Lao Zhang: "Old Zhang, we are all neighbors in the neighborhood, so don't be so polite, this money must be collected!"
Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I'm not going to be polite. I still have some things for growing vegetables here. I planned to take them back, but now I leave them to you. You will definitely need them. And the key to that hut is also left for you, although it is a bit worn out, you can still put things there."
Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked Lao Zhang again. I made an agreement with him to come to prepare the land in three days, and then I said goodbye to Lao Liao and left.
