“Are you sure this will work?”
After hearing Jiang Xing’s words, Li Qingfeng couldn’t help but wonder.
It wasn't just him; even Zong Shuyun, standing beside them, was a bit skeptical.
After all, judging by their appearance, these vegetables only looked considerably better than ordinary ones.
“If we’re really going to build a brand, these vegetables might need to be inspected first!”
She mused, then reminded the two of them.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Xing slapped his thigh. He had completely forgotten the most crucial matter.
“Brother, this inspection is something you’ll have to handle yourself. Otherwise, no one will accept our high prices.”
“Actually, the high price is secondary. The main thing is that this batch of fruits and vegetables is ripe, and I need to sell them.”
Li Qingfeng said with great certainty.
His capital had been constantly in motion lately, but it was all outgoing, with no income yet.
If he hadn’t gotten a sum from Ji Fenglin some time ago, his cash flow would have already broken down.
“That’s simple. I’ll acquire all your fruits and vegetables at market price plus an additional thirty percent!”
Jiang Xing patted his chest confidently.
“Are these fruits and vegetables really worth that much?”
Zong Shuyun asked doubtfully, looking at Jiang Xing’s somewhat exaggerated demeanor.
Her main purpose in coming here today was for research.
“I know we don’t see eye to eye, but I’m truly not shortchanging you on the price. Come and taste these fruits and vegetables yourself, and you’ll know.”
Uncharacteristically, Jiang Xing didn’t argue with Zong Shuyun. Instead, he urged her to try the produce.
Zong Shuyun had intended to try them anyway, and hearing his words, she conveniently took the opportunity.
Indeed, after tasting the fruits and vegetables, Zong Shuyun’s eyes widened instantly.
“These vegetables… how is this possible?”
She was somewhat shocked. The driver, Xiao Li, who tasted them alongside her, was equally astonished.
“They’re delicious!”
“Mayor, come and try this tomato, it’s so good…”
Driver Xiao Li had completely let go and began to compete with Jiang Xing in devouring the produce.
Thus, a peculiar scene unfolded on the barren mountain.
A line of working villagers watched as the two men incessantly ate all the fruits and vegetables.
After watching for a while, even they couldn’t help but shake their heads.
“Are Boss Feng’s friends really the big bosses of the town?”
“I don’t know. They look like they’ve been reincarnated as starving ghosts. Maybe that’s what big bosses are like!”
“Exactly, exactly. I once saw the factory owners in town eating…”
Jiang Xing and the others couldn’t hear the villagers’ discussions.
If they had, they probably wouldn’t have eaten like this.
“Brother, I’ve decided. A thirty percent premium seems a bit low. I’m going to increase it to fifty percent for you!”
Looking at Li Qingfeng, Jiang Xing stated his determination again.
Li Qingfeng had already prepared the contract, but after hearing Jiang Xing offer a higher price, he quietly tucked the contract away.
After all, who would dislike more money?
The two discussed for a while and finally agreed on a price of five yuan per jin for all the vegetables.
Once the contract was finalized, Li Qingfeng began to organize the villagers to harvest the fruits and vegetables.
Upon hearing that Li Qingfeng had sold all the fruits and vegetables, the villagers looked at him in utter disbelief.
Li Qingfeng humbly accepted the shocked gazes of the villagers.
Seeing the villagers working diligently, Li Qingfeng stepped forward at the opportune moment and shouted to them.
“Villagers, all harvesting must be completed by 5 PM this afternoon, and each person will receive a bonus of 200 yuan!”
“Thank you, Boss Feng! We guarantee to complete the task.”
It was easy to imagine how excited the villagers were upon hearing Li Qingfeng’s words.
They rushed forward with all their might, wishing they had two extra hands.
Watching the villagers charged up like they had been injected with adrenaline, Zong Shuyun couldn’t help but give Li Qingfeng a thumbs-up.
“Junior student, I’m truly impressed by you!”
And so, under the watchful eyes of several people, the more than four mu of fruits and vegetables were completely harvested in just a few hours.
At this point, the large truck sent by Jiang Xing also arrived.
Using an electronic scale, they began to weigh the produce.
When everything was completed, the total weight of the harvested fruits and vegetables, which came from the ash, was as high as over twenty thousand jin.
This was truly a miracle.
“Brother, your vegetable cultivation is going to make you rich!”
Even Jiang Xing was shocked by the total weight and looked at Li Qingfeng in amazement.
His fruits and vegetables achieved an astounding yield of 5,000 jin per mu, which was nothing short of a miracle.
Zong Shuyun knew Li Qingfeng was skilled in medicine, but she hadn’t expected him to have such unique insights into growing vegetables.
“Now you believe my plan to establish a Chinese herbal medicine base, right? I never engage in battles I’m not prepared for.”
Li Qingfeng said confidently to Zong Shuyun.
As soon as the handover was complete, Jiang Xing bid farewell to the group and returned to town.
Of course, before leaving, he asked Li Qingfeng for his bank account number, saying he would transfer the money once he went to the city.
With Jiang Xing gone, Zong Shuyun saw no reason to stay any longer and returned to town with Driver Xiao Li.
“They’re all gone!”
Li Qingfeng said with some emotion, watching their departing figures.
At this time, the villagers had already lined up and arrived in front of the crooked-necked tree at the foot of the mountain.
The table for distributing wages had been moved here, and they were accustomed to lining up here.
Li Qingfeng took the money and paid them their wages. Similarly, each person received a small red envelope containing the promised 200 yuan bonus for the day.
“Thank you, Boss Feng!”
Seeing the bonus, the villagers were all smiles.
While the atmosphere here was joyous, Jiang Xing’s situation was quite different.
He was in a heated debate with many people, forcefully pushing through all the supermarkets’ objections.
He had purchased these vegetables at five yuan per jin, yet he intended to sell them to the city supermarkets at ten yuan per jin.
It was imaginable that these supermarkets naturally couldn’t agree, and some even threatened to tear up their contracts and agreements with him.
However, under Jiang Xing’s persuasive guidance, all these supermarkets tasted the fruits and vegetables sourced from Li Qingfeng.
“What do you think? Is it worth this price?”
Seeing their reactions, Jiang Xing understood everything and asked.
“It’s worth it!”
“We’ll buy!”
All these supermarkets and hotels agreed to purchase his vegetables at the price he set.
