Chapter 174 Agricultural Products
"Old Ma, I believe you this time. Send me the link quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes, please provide the link. Thank you so much, Lao Ma."
Mr. Ma proudly sent them the link his son had shared, saying, "Go ahead, everyone go and buy it. There aren't many people buying from this shop yet, so you'd better hurry."
"Okay, okay, we'll go buy it right away."
A group of people left happily, and then they bought groceries. At first, the family complained that it was unnecessary to buy groceries online, and that the prices were not cheap.
After tasting it, no one said a word. They were surprised at how delicious it was, and they all instantly became loyal fans, vying to buy groceries for the customer.
So what Yi Mengwei Ma sees now is that the entire neighborhood has turned into a grocery shopping group, with people discussing every day how to buy vegetables from Xia Shiyu's family, and even showing off their purchases.
[Oh dear, what am I going to do? This lettuce is so delicious! It's so good with grilled meat, and it really cuts through the richness.]
[Oh my, I don't know what to put with this cabbage, but it tastes so good with just a bowl of noodles, tsk tsk tsk.]
[Hey guys upstairs, don't go too far. If you keep this up, I'm going to ask you to share some with me.]
[Sigh, I really need it.]
A sense of sadness permeated the neighborhood, and only Xia Shiyu's introduction of new vegetables could alleviate it.
Xia Shiyu packed all the vegetables into the car and rode her bike to town.
When Hezhou saw her at the Express Delivery, her face lit up with joy.
"Boss Xia is here again! That's great! Please come in and have a seat."
The two employees who were still busy nearby stopped what they were doing and greeted Xia Shiyu, "Hello, Boss Xia."
Xia Shiyu replied with a smile, "Hello, I'll stop making them for now and send out these packages first."
He Zhou glanced at the package and was even more satisfied to see it was full of packages again. He knew he hadn't misjudged Xia Shiyu; her business was indeed getting better and better. The main source of business for his express delivery store was now Xia Shiyu's store.
"Okay, Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, you two come over and pack the packages."
"Okay, boss." Two employees came over to help carry the packages, but He Zhou still asked Xia Shiyu to sit down and chat with him for a while.
"I'm hiring now. If you have a lot of packages to deliver, you won't need to bring them yourself. Just give me a call and my people will come down and bring them up."
"It would be even better if it were like this." Xia Shiyu also thought it was great; it was so convenient, and she wouldn't have to run back and forth so often.
After saying that, Hezhou started talking about other things, "Yes, Mr. Xia, do you still have any grapes? I'd like to buy some more."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Yes, not just grapes, I also have some oranges and other vegetables at home."
Online orders are hard to fulfill, but offline orders from acquaintances are much easier to fulfill. And if that's not enough, she can go into the fairy tale world and plant some, which can be harvested in a few days.
"Good, good, that's good." He Zhou was overjoyed. He had been longing for grapes ever since he ate them last time. After he brought some to his family, they all urged him to buy some more.
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Yes, there are only a few days left until the New Year. The shops will have to close then. I'll bring some over so everyone can have a good New Year."
"Mmm," He Zhou said with a broad smile.
After all the packages were packed, Xia Shiyu drove back home.
When she returned, she saw Aunt Xia Liu, who had previously fished for pigs, sitting in a seat chatting with Yu Juan. A fire had been lit in the yard, and they were warming themselves by the fire.
"Oh, Auntie, what brings you here?"
Xia Liu stood up happily when she saw Xia Shiyu return, "Xiao Yu is back! I came to buy groceries for you."
Xia Shiyu parked the car and walked over, sitting by the fire and warming her hands. "Oh, Auntie, is that why you came? Please sit down, let's sit by the fire and chat."
Xia Liu sat back down.
"That's right, my sister and her family live in Qingdao. They usually don't come back for the New Year. I usually send them some vegetables and cured meat, so that when I go there, I can add some dishes to their New Year celebrations."
Xia Liu's younger sister, Xia Mei, married far away. Her home is quite far from here; it takes more than two days to get there by train, and flying is too expensive, especially during the Spring Festival.
It's too much trouble to travel back and forth, so she usually doesn't come back unless there's something going on at home.
Xia Liu usually just sends some things over. This year, she originally planned to send some cured meat like last year, but after eating Xia Shiyu's dishes, she had a new idea. The dishes were so delicious, she had to send some over too.
Xia Shiyu understood; it was like sending New Year's goods, so this situation was quite normal.
"Oh, I see. Auntie, what groceries do you need to buy and send over? You'd better hurry, the New Year is just a few days away. If the courier station closes then, the packages will be stuck on the road and won't be able to get delivered."
"Yes, yes, that's what I was thinking about, that's why I rushed over to find you. If you're buying groceries, I'd like to send you some fruit, like, do you still have any grapes? As for vegetables, regular bok choy or something will do."
“Sure, sure.” Xia Shiyu nodded, but then she thought about the weight of the grapes. “Auntie, these grapes are quite heavy. It will cost you a lot in postage to send them over.”
Xia Liu shook her head, "Oh, what can we do? We have to do this every year. After all, it's not easy for them to eat authentic cured meat in the city. It's so convenient for us to make it ourselves and mail it over, and it's hygienic too."
"And they'll definitely be happy if your vegetables are mailed to them this time. It's just that there aren't many vegetables available now that it's winter, otherwise we could have just sent them over."
Yu Juan, who was listening nearby, suddenly said, "Hey, Xia Liu, why don't you bring some of our local agricultural products over? We dried a batch of vegetables before, and we also have some tomato sauce."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "I also made some candied orange peel before. I don't know if the kids would like to eat it. If they like it, I can mail some over."
"Oh, that would be even better." Xia Liu was also happy to hear that.
"Okay, Auntie, wait here, I'll get you the vegetables right now."
Finally, Xia Shiyu brought out a bunch of things, including a bag of dried radishes that she had made herself.
Xia Shiyu took it out but didn't rush to give it to Xia Liu.
Instead, she explained, "Auntie, there's something I need to make clear to you. Our vegetables all have certificates of conformity and can be sold online, but these agricultural products are grown by our family for our own consumption, so we haven't obtained any business licenses yet. You can try them and see if they're okay."
Xia Shiyu suddenly thought of this when she went to get something.
After all, it's unknown whether Xia Liujie would mind this matter.
"What's the big deal? We're all neighbors, and everyone knows what's made in our own homes. It's fine."
After Xia Liu finished speaking, she tasted the agricultural products that Xia Shiyu had brought over, and she was even more satisfied after eating them.
"They'll definitely be satisfied with something that tastes so good."
Xia Liu was extremely satisfied.
Xia Shiyu smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied."
