Chapter 59 -59: Want to Sell Vegetables (6/10)

This is really too good to be true.

If Fan Tianyu is willing to sell vegetables, then she would also have a fixed income; earning 7,000 in 5 days equals 40,000 a month, and of course, there’s no need to calculate the minor discrepancies so precisely.

Forty thousand a month, it’s September now, and by August next year before the university starts, she could keep supplying vegetables. Eleven months multiplied by 40,000 would be 440,000—this sum would be enough to make a down payment on a house in Jiangcheng. When buying the house, she could also move her brother’s residency over, allowing him to attend elementary school there.

After calculating her finances, Mei Mengzhen was very tempted by Fan Tianyu’s proposal, but supplying vegetables wasn’t such an easy matter.

Her space must remain a secret, which posed the problem of how to get the vegetables out and into Fan Tianyu’s hands.

As for where to sell the vegetables, it’s best to stick to the familiar rather than the unfamiliar, and besides, people had shown a willingness to wait for her at her previous selling spot in the Market, proving that the location had a solid customer base.

Now, here comes the problem. If she were to agree to this arrangement, she would definitely have to mention her past experience selling vegetables; otherwise, if she were to hear about it from others in the Vegetable Market, she would have a harder time explaining herself. Better to be upfront about it.

“Brother Tianyu, are you really set on selling vegetables?” Mei Mengzhen asked tentatively.

Fan Tianyu nodded. He had given it some serious thought. To be clear, he would still need an agreement to get the vegetables, and how to plan his next steps was still an unknown, “I’ve thought it through, and I really think this business can work. Just ask for me, will you?”

“Actually, I’ve already gotten vegetables from that person before to sell. So, if you want to sell vegetables, as long as I’m the one who goes to get them, they definitely won’t refuse. But are you sure you’ve thought this through? They only sell vegetables to me, meaning I can only help you get vegetables during my final year of high school, and it could just be a short-term business opportunity. Think it over and see if you really want to do this.”

Fan Tianyu cocked his head, looking at Mei Mengzhen incredulously, “What did you just say? You’ve sold vegetables before? I must have heard wrong.”

“No mistake, I sold vegetables right in that Market ahead, and if I’m not wrong, when I had dinner at your place, your parents mentioned that the people they are looking for are probably me.”

“When did this happen? I had no idea. You never let on a bit. Your lips are sealed tight,” Fan Tianyu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide. He had been living there for a month or so, and the nearby Vegetable Market had been mentioned countless times, but Mei Mengzhen had never brought it up, not even once.

Mei Mengzhen explained, “It was the week before I started the tutoring sessions; I only sold vegetables for five days. Do you know how much I earned?”

“How much?”

“Over two thousand yuan.” Mei Mengzhen definitely couldn’t say she earned 6-7 thousand because she hadn’t factored in the costs. The cost was what she initially told Liang Xiao—the purchase price for vegetables was 3.5 yuan each, selling for 5 yuan, and vegetables bought for 8 yuan each were sold for 10 yuan. In short, the buying rates were high, so naturally, she sold them at higher prices, but due to the volume, she still made a handsome profit.

After explaining to Fan Tianyu, he was astounded, “Are vegetables bought at such high prices? And people actually buy them?” Are these people fools?

He didn’t say the last part, of course, because after tasting the vegetables, he knew their appeal and would buy them too.

“Because I was selling in the Market nearby, I couldn’t price them too high. If it were you, you could definitely sell a batch in the morning at the Market and then take them somewhere further in the afternoon for another round of sales. You might earn even more. And you have a driver’s license now, so this is not an issue at all.” As for where to sell them, he could handle that by himself.

But when he heard that he could drive out to sell vegetables, Fan Tianyu started to harbor some conspiracy theories, “Why do I feel like you deliberately lured me into getting my driver’s license? This timing is too coincidental.”

He seemed to understand a bit why those three classmates of his thought the way they did. It was too coincidental. How could it be so fortuitous? But this wasn’t an excuse for him to forgive those three.

Cut off contact.

Don’t reach out.

Mei Mengzhen was genuinely wronged, “You never mentioned selling vegetables before, so how could I have lured you into learning to drive for that purpose? Brother Tianyu, you can’t wrong me like this. I only thought that if finding a job didn’t come quickly, driving a taxi could be a source of income, which is why I urged you to learn.”

She had no such intentions.

The conversation made Fan Tianyu’s expression even darker, “My mom also said that if things don’t pan out for me, I could go drive a taxi. Why do you think the same as my mom? Do I really look that hopeless?”

Mei Mengzhen almost burst into laughter, her aunt was really something, “Brother Tianyu, I really didn’t, I know you are capable. But sometimes, being capable and being lucky are two different things. If your ability doesn’t meet with luck, it’s also useless. Plus, as a man, it’s good to have multiple skills, and which man doesn’t buy a car? So getting a driver’s license was a matter of sooner or later. I just mentioned it; that I thought the same as auntie is purely a coincidence.”

Having heard Mei Mengzhen’s explanation, Fan Tianyu softened a bit, but added, “How much of your explanation do you think is true? I never would have thought you were such a person, Zhenzhen.”

“Brother, let’s not talk about this. Let’s discuss the vegetable business, shall I? I still have papers to write, and I need to be in bed by midnight to get my sleep. I still want to grow taller,” Mei Mengzhen’s wish was sincere.

However, Fan Tianyu felt it was unnecessary, “You’re already 172 cm tall, how much taller do you need to be?”

Mei Mengzhen had always been tall, towering over her peers in each grade since primary school. By the first year of junior high, she had shot up to 170 cm, and then growth halted. Since starting junior high, her height had only increased by two centimeters to a total of 172 cm. While that was certainly tall enough, growing a bit more wouldn’t hurt.

Wait a minute, off-topic again.

“Let’s get back to business, we can chat about other things when we have time.”

Fan Tianyu coughed and became serious again, “You got the vegetables, sold them for five days, made over two thousand, then school started and you couldn’t sell them anymore, which led to a stop, correct?”

“Right, the vegetables were so delicious that I didn’t want to lose contact with the supplier, so I kept getting our home’s vegetables from them.”

“What kind of vegetables do they have and in what quantities?” Fan Tianyu asked.

“They have everything, and however much you want, she can provide. In addition to vegetables, there’s also fruit, meat, and eggs. But there’s one thing: other than me, she doesn’t supply to anyone else. So if you want to sell vegetables, you’d have to go through me. However, I have to go to school now, and I can’t get the supplies,” Mei Mengzhen replied.

“How did you get the supplies at that time?”

“I would pick up two crates of vegetables in the morning, sell them out, and then go pull two more crates. I bought two carriages, four big crates, and one small crate. There’s a carriage with two big crates at home, and another carriage with two big and one small crate is still left at their place.”
