Chapter 42: Selling Vegetables
Liu Mazzi immediately pointed at Wang Dafu and cursed, “Wang Dafu, I’ll give you one minute to get out. You’re the wild man, right? Yanchun Jie, you’re shameless!”
Wang Dafu grabbed Liu Mazzi’s finger and twisted it hard. Liu Mazzi immediately cried out in pain.
“Uncle Liu, don’t talk nonsense. Nothing happened between Yanchun Jie and me. This land is for me to help Yanchun Jie plant things and sell them, to give her a way to live. Will you return it to her?”
Liu Mazzi was in pain and immediately surrendered. Wang Dafu released his hand and sneered.
Liu Mazzi still looked unconvinced. He picked up his carrying pole and was about to hit Wang Dafu.
Wang Dafu dodged, grabbed the carrying pole, and broke it with his hand.
This terrifying strength directly shocked Liu Mazzi’s family.
“One word, return the land to Yanchun Jie, let her live. There’s nothing else. Also, don’t talk nonsense about Yanchun Jie anymore. Anyone who slanders her, I won’t be polite!”
Liu Mazzi trembled with fear. He felt that Wang Dafu was different from before. Thinking about the past few days, this guy was selling watermelons and buying tricycles. Did he have some secret?
Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Dafu smiled, “That’s settled. Yanchun Jie, you go and turn over the two pieces of land tomorrow. I’ll come over to help you when I have time. Let’s go!”
He was about to leave with Yanchun Jie, but Liu Mazzi mustered his courage and couldn’t help but ask, “Wang Dafu, what’s your relationship with Yanchun Jie?”
Wang Dafu laughed, “Of course I treat her as my sister. Don’t think too much!”
Then, he left with Yanchun Jie.
After sending Yanchun Jie back to her home, Wang Dafu was ready to go back.
He hadn’t even washed, he was dirty and uncomfortable.
Watching Wang Dafu leave, Yanchun Jie was in a daze, recalling what Wang Dafu had said to Liu Mazzi about treating her as his sister. Her heart felt empty.
With one day left, Wang Dafu had to work at full speed and continue to speed up. There was still a small part of the wasteland left. He just needed to clear the weeds and trees, and a brand new watermelon field would emerge.
Planting watermelons didn’t require any special skills. For Wang Dafu, the most important thing was the mysterious liquid in the gourd, everything else was unimportant.
On the other side, Yanchun Jie, with Wang Dafu’s help, got back the land that belonged to her. She was a woman, she worked slowly and didn’t have much strength. This piece of land was also a bit remote, the road was not easy to walk, otherwise Liu Mazzi wouldn’t have left it fallow.
Yanchun Jie was wearing a sun protection jacket, a straw hat on her head, and a hoe in her hand. She was gently hoeing the land and clearing the weeds. Her slender figure looked thin from afar.
In these three days, Wang Dafu finally cleared the land with a burst of effort. He roughly estimated that this piece of land in the valley was more than four mu, larger than the previous watermelon field. If he planted watermelons on the entire land, the income should be around 60,000.
Of course, this was calculated based on the previous price and yield. If the price didn’t sell for five yuan per jin, the income would naturally not be that much.
It was only because Wang Dafu used the mysterious liquid in the gourd that he could achieve this kind of income. If an ordinary person planted watermelons, they would be lucky to produce 2,000 jin per mu. Most people only produced over 1,000 jin, and the taste wasn’t good.
The land clearing was finally finished, and Wang Dafu could finally take a break. He couldn’t go over to help Yanchun Jie for now, but it wasn’t urgent anyway. Her small piece of land was easy to manage.
The most important thing now was that after three days, the vegetable garden in front of Wang Dafu’s house was already laden with fruits. Everything was ripe, fresh and green. It would be a shame not to sell these vegetables.
Wu Xianhua had been waiting for three days, watching the vegetables in her garden grow rapidly every day, bigger than any other year, heavier, and the greens were fresher and more tender. They looked adorable, and she was very happy.
When Wang Dafu was done with his work, she would be able to harvest a wave of vegetables and have Wang Dafu ride his tricycle to the town to sell them quickly.
It took a whole night to pick the vegetables. Early the next morning, Wu Xianhua got up in a hurry. She turned around and found that Wang Dafu was still asleep. She was impatient and ran directly to Wang Dafu’s room.
Wang Dafu usually didn’t lock his door. Wu Xianhua stepped right in. She saw Wang Dafu, wearing only a pair of floral shorts, lying flat on the bed, forming a “Too” character. Especially the dot in the middle of the character was very high. Wu Xianhua’s face burned, she couldn’t go out, and she couldn’t stay.
“Silly Dafu, get up. You have to sell vegetables early to get good business. If you’re late, no one will buy them!”
Wang Dafu opened his eyes groggily, looked at Wu Xianhua, and smiled, “Okay, I’m getting up. Xianhua, go out first, I’ll change my pants!”
Wu Xianhua’s face turned red, she lowered her head and quickly walked away!
The two of them ate a little something, washed their faces, and Wu Xianhua brought out the electronic scale and plastic bags that she had already prepared. She put them on the tricycle. Wang Dafu started the vehicle. When he went out, Wu Xianhua locked the courtyard gate and then climbed onto the tricycle. The two of them rushed towards the town in a hurry.
When they arrived in town, Wang Dafu casually chose a spot with a lot of people, parked the vehicle, and a whole carload of fresh green vegetables and fruits with dew on them were revealed. They also had a unique fragrance of fruits and vegetables, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
At first, Wu Xianhua was a little shy and didn’t dare to go forward. Wang Dafu was carefree and didn’t care about anything. He smiled and greeted passersby. He had sold watermelons last time, and many people remembered him. This time, he came to sell vegetables again, and people quickly recognized him.
“Uncle, Auntie, Grandma, Grandpa, vegetables for sale! My vegetables are the best. Once you try them, you’ll definitely want to eat them again. If you don’t want to eat them twice, you can come and beat me!”
The familiar shout, still the same style, “If you don’t agree, come and beat me.” Most of the passersby looked at him with smiles. Some people were curious and gathered in front of Wang Dafu’s tricycle, wanting to see what was new.
