Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 117 Supermarket Intent

Upon hearing this, Minghua sat up slightly. He did indeed know someone in this situation.

"Of course, Mr. Xia, you've come to the right person."

Xia Shiyu had only asked casually and didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. However, considering that restaurant owners should have some connections, it wasn't surprising.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Ming to introduce me."

Minghua chuckled nonchalantly on the other end of the phone, "What's the big deal? My relationship with Boss Xia is such that I don't need to worry about these things. But Boss Xia, you need to prepare the testing documents for the oranges. There are quite a few materials needed for the supermarket to put them on the shelves."

Xia Shiyu thought that these fairy tale systems were already prepared, and the test files would appear on her hands as soon as she needed them, so she readily agreed.

"No problem, thank you so much, Mr. Ming."

Xia Shiyu felt relieved after hanging up the phone. No matter what, it was best to just give it a try.

She then announced in various groups that she would be selling oranges the next day, and that anyone who wanted some could come and get them.

She also informed Xia Jie, asking him to help notify the classmates in their class who wanted to buy oranges.

Upon receiving the news, Xia Jie immediately forwarded it to the class group chat without considering anything else.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally forwarded it to a class group chat that has a homeroom teacher.

His heart skipped a beat, and he was about to back out when his homeroom teacher suddenly appeared, "@Xia Jie, Xia Jie, thank you so much. I also really wanted to buy oranges. You were so thoughtful to tell everyone the location. Thank you!"

Xia Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his homeroom teacher didn't scold him. However, after he came to his senses, he realized that his usually serious homeroom teacher had also fallen at Xia Jie's feet. He was so proud of himself.

He simply replied directly in the class group chat.

"Thank you, teacher. Students who want to buy oranges are welcome to go to the vicinity of xx vegetable market after 9 am tomorrow to buy my cousin's oranges."

Other students also suddenly chimed in and spoke up.

"Okay, I will definitely support you."

"Support Orange!"

"Thank you for the notification, Xia Jie."

Xia Jie was satisfied and then told his family. His family was very happy to hear that Xia Shiyu would be selling oranges the next day, but they were also busy at home, so in the end, this difficult task was handed over to Xia Jie, who was currently on winter vacation.

"You must buy more, our whole family is waiting to eat."

Xia Jie raised his hand and swore, "I promise I will complete the mission!"

After sending the message, Xia Shiyu didn't need to worry about anything else; she could just wait for tomorrow to arrive.

In the evening, Yu Juan simply boiled radishes and ate them. On such a cold day, stewed radishes are a must. However, this time, she also added a handful of orange peels during the stewing process.

Today, the radishes, infused with the fragrance of oranges, have a unique flavor. As soon as the lid is lifted, the aroma of orange peel and radish wafts out.

"It smells so good!" Xia Shiyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Yu Juan smiled and said, "Of course it smells good! It's made with your fresh radishes and orange peels."

Grandma nodded, "That's great! Every part of an orange is valuable. Roasted oranges can even cure coughs."

Xia Shiyu was quite curious about the taste. "Really? Then I'll take two more to try later."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone, come and eat. This radish looks delicious."

Hearing this, Xia Shiyu also sat down at the table. The family did not eat rice first, but each scooped a bowl of orange peel and radish soup and ate a bowl of radish first.

"Mmm, this tastes really good, and the texture is especially nice."

"It's so delicious! After eating so many of Xiaoyu's vegetables, I don't even want to eat rice anymore."

Xia Shiyu laughed immediately upon hearing this, "What does it matter? Next year we'll plant some more rice and wheat to make our own flour and rice from the new rice."

Grandpa was very happy. "That's good. The new rice must be very fragrant. When the new rice comes out next year, I will sell most of the old rice at home and eat the new rice that Xiaoyu grows."

Xia Shiyu: "Haha, then Grandma, just wait and see. By the way, Grandma, why don't you and Grandpa not go back to your hometown this year? You can just spend the New Year at our house."

Grandma hesitated when she heard this, "This won't do. We still have relatives coming over during the New Year. We need to entertain them."

Upon hearing this, Xia Lihua replied directly, "What's the big deal? If relatives come, they can just come over here and we'll entertain them all together."

Grandpa shook his head, "There are some older people you don't even know. How can we let them come to your house? Let's go back."

Xia Shiyu shook her head, "What's the big deal? Most of them are relatives of relatives. And isn't the New Year just about sitting together, chatting and having a meal? It's quite lively here."

Yu Juan also said, "Mom and Dad, you don't need to refuse. There's nothing wrong with being here. Let the relatives come here to pay their New Year's visits; I know most of them."

Grandma thought about her life here, eating well, sleeping well, and having a lively atmosphere every day. She really didn't want to go back. "Alright then, old man, let's stay here. It's nice to have everyone together."

Grandpa nodded helplessly, "Alright then."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "Then it's decided."

Xia Lihua nodded happily, "Okay, okay, let's all celebrate the New Year together this year."

The family was very happy eating the hot and delicious radishes.

After eating the radishes, everyone went back to work. Baskets of oranges were picked and put away from the mountain, and everyone worked very quickly.

Xia Shiyu thought that there was no rush to pick them all, as they might not be fresh if left unpicked, so she only let everyone pick half of them, and they would take them to town to sell tomorrow.

"Everyone, take a break. Those of you who came to work today, take two oranges with you each to eat."

"Oh, great!"

"Thank you, Shi Yu."

"Thank you, Boss Xia."

This is also a perk of working here at Xia Shiyu's place. Whenever any fresh crops ripen here, she lets the people who come to work eat them or take some back with them.

But the amount given was not much. Usually, they would be given a meal, but today they would only be given two oranges each. There were more than 20 villagers who came to help, and even if each person took two oranges, it would only fill one basket, which is not much.

But she couldn't give any more, since these oranges were her cash cow, and she wanted to sell them.

The villagers didn't make a fuss. You're supposed to get paid for working for someone, so it's good enough if you get something extra. Besides, almost every household has oranges, they're just not as good as Xia Shiyu's. You can't be greedy.

Xia Shiyu observed that everyone was behaving themselves. Indeed, some newcomers wanted to take more than their share, but with everyone watching, they couldn't take anything.

After watching everyone take their share, Xia Shiyu loaded the rest onto her tricycle and drove off. They could officially start selling tomorrow.
