Kapitel 25: Chapter 25: Taking in all the crops
Redakteur: Dragon Boat Translation
In order to facilitate the loading of the truck, the villagers had already pulled their goods over and piled them on both sides of the road.
When they heard that Mr. Dong wanted to inspect the goods, the villagers moved aside without saying anything and randomly checked the goods.
They had always been on edge in the past years at the inspection checkpoint.
But this year, everyone stood up straight and did not feel guilty.
They had already tasted the crops that they had grown. If the quality of the crops didn't meet the standard, they would seal their hoes and never farm again!
Go beg for food!
Mr. Dong was a little surprised.
More than ten days ago, he had tasted the sweet potatoes and watermelons in Taoxi village. Based on his experience, he could roughly guess the taste of these two products after they were mature.
Aren't the people of Taoxi village a little too confident?
Or was he so calm because he was sure the distribution center would accept their goods?
He shook his head and felt it was not worth it for his young boss.
"Uncle, this is the sweet potato that I grew at home. I've already washed it. Would you like to try it? " While she was still in a daze, a sweet and soft voice sounded by her feet.
Mr. Dong lowered his head and saw two little girls tied up. They raised their heads and handed him sweet potatoes with their small hands.
"I know you. You're Qiqi." He took the sweet potato from the child's hand and smiled. "Alright, uncle will try your sweet potato first."
The sweet potato in his hand was slender and well-proportioned, breaking into two with a gentle twist of his hands. The flesh of the sweet potato was light orange, and the fragrance was very light.
Mr. Dong smiled. It was just as he had predicted.
Then, he took a bite of the sweet potato. With a crisp sound, Mr. Dong's smile froze.
It was much sweeter than he had expected, but it wasn't the greasy sweetness that contained high sugar. It was the pure sweetness of a melon, and it was fragrant when he chewed!
After finishing the whole sweet potato, he checked a few more sacks on the side of the road, and all of them tasted far better than he had expected!
How could that be possible? Ten days ago, they were still ordinary ...
Qiqi tilted her head. While he was still in a daze, she pointed at the beautiful watermelons in the basket by the roadside. "Uncle, the watermelons in our village are delicious too. Every one of them is delicious."
"...." Mr. Dong looked at the watermelons, then at the little girl smiling with curved eyes. Suddenly, he was not so confident in his years of experience in predicting.
He coughed lightly. Under the warm smiles of the villagers, he pointed to one of the baskets. "Pick one from here and let me try it."
Soon, the watermelon he had chosen was cut open in front of him.
It was different from the sweet potato's light fragrance. As soon as the watermelon broke, the aroma immediately filled the air. When he took a deep breath, the air he inhaled seemed sweet.
The melon sac was also a beautiful red, with rich juice and very thin skin.
When the melon meat was in his mouth, Mr. Dong waved his hand without saying anything else. "weigh the sweet potatoes! And count the watermelons! Record them one family by one family and load them into the truck! I'll take them all!"
He had been doing fruit and vegetable evaluations for many years, but this was the first time he had encountered a defeat.
However, he was delighted!
No wonder Miss Song, Song Yueliang, could rise to the top in Hui city in just a few years. Just her judgment and courage were far beyond ordinary people like him!
I'm convinced!
Meanwhile, the villagers of Taoxi village were in an uproar again!
Buy all!
Not even the slightest picky!
This meant that every drop of sweat they had shed this year had not been in vain!
"Granny, let's carry the sweet potatoes over!" Qiqi ran to Zhang Xifeng's side and said with a bright smile on her small face.
Zhang Xifeng was amused. Her eyes narrowed into a line. "Alright, I'll carry the sweet potatoes! Let your second Uncle Chen and the others help carry them! Let's wait at the side for the scale to be weighed!"
The villagers laughed out of goodwill and volunteered to help without any notice.
Beside the truck, the middle-aged man who came with Mr. Dong checked the scale and recording.
A few people were also responsible for loading the recorded sweet potatoes and watermelons into the car.
While they were doing things in an orderly manner, Taoxi village was also doing the same.
The villagers automatically lined up. They didn't make a scene first, and they came individually.
Mr. Dong nodded to himself at this scene. When he first received the notice for him to come down to help with the delivery, he had some complaints in his heart.
But now, he was beginning to enjoy dealing with the people of Taoxi village.
"Uncle, there's a small bamboo chair here. You can sit down and rest for a while if you're tired."
The familiar sweet and soft voice came again.
He lowered his head. The little girl was holding a small bamboo chair and placed it next to him. Her obedient and sensible appearance was very likable.
Behind the little girl were two strong-looking boys, each holding something in their hands.
"Uncle, this is cold water. You can drink it if you're thirsty!" A little boy handed him a military water bottle.
"Uncle, this is the corn that I cooked this morning. It's for you to eat when you're hungry! A little boy handed him some corn."
Mr. Dong was neither thirsty nor hungry. He had just eaten a lot of sweet potatoes and watermelons, so he was still full.
However, the children in the village were sensible and considerate, so he couldn't bear to reject their good intentions.
Mr. Dong sat down with a watering can and a corn cob in one hand. There was a tree over his head to provide shade, and the mountain breeze by the roadside was cool.
This treatment was considered top-notch compared to the colleagues beside the truck who were busy with work.
Mr. Dong squinted his eyes and smiled.
The next moment, the little girl's sweet and soft voice sounded again. She said timidly, "Uncle, my sweet potatoes have been weighed. They weigh 7123 catties in total."
The two boys even put their heads in front of him, afraid he couldn't see them.
"And mine have 1009 catties of sweet potatoes and 3976 watermelons!"
"My sweet potatoes weigh 9960 catties, and I have 4008 watermelons!"
The third child's head was placed in a row in front of Mr. Dong, and they all looked at him with eager eyes.
Mr. Dong was speechless.
He understood now. What top-notch treatment? They were afraid he would pay on credit and urging him to pay!
Mr. Dong gritted his teeth, then pointed at the three children's heads and asked the villagers in line, "whose children are these? They're really three smart little kids!"
Behind them, the villagers of Taoxi village, who had seen this scene, had long since tried to hold back their laughter, and their faces had turned red.
"Sure, the scale has been weighed, and you've been recorded. Come to my side to settle the bill!" Mr. Dong was amused. He took the account book and paid the bill on the spot.
It was challenging to make a living in the fields, so he didn't intend to make things difficult for the farmers.
Besides, the little boss had given him enough money this time.
Hearing that the bill had been settled, the people who had already registered quickly gathered around and lined up in front of Mr. Dong. However, at this moment, everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy.
The three little ones retreated to the back.
Huazi and Li Doggie secretly gave Qiqi a thumbs-up. "Qiqi, you are so smart! He really paid us right away!"
Qiqi's little face was blushing, but her eyes were bright and a little proud. "I've sold things before, so I have experience."
"No wonder you're so good at urging people to pay money! So you have experience!"
"Nah..." Little Qiqi's face turned even redder, and her eyes dodged. "It's not the experience of urging peopleto pay. It's the experience of being on credit ..."
Huazi and Doggie were speechless.
The little egg-man said, "coward."
