Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 445 Greed

“Yu ‘Er, what’s wrong?” Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu’s body and asked with concern when he felt her body shake. Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I just suddenly had a cold shiver.”

Gong Tianhao’s handsome face was tightly wrinkled as he said with confusion, “A cold shiver? But it’s not even wintertime yet. Are you coming down with a cold?”.

Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. Even a common cold would be dangerous for her. She needed to be careful with her diet. It was best if she didn’t take any medicine. Therefore, most pregnant women would try to drink a lot of warm water.

When Gong Tianhao noticed Xiao Lingyu’s sudden shiver, he was worried that she would catch a cold.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t think it’s a cold. Maybe someone is cursing me.” She had no idea how real her joke was.

Then again, Gong Tianhao still took it seriously. Xiao Lingyu had already sent two villagers to jail in Taoyuan Village. It was not surprising if people would curse her.

Xiao Lingyu said with a laugh, “Don’t worry, it is not a cold. I really think someone is talking behind my back. Let’s go.”

They were going to Taiping Field.

Xiao Lingyu had planted three Mus of peanuts, three Mus of soybeans, and three Mus of dragonfruit. The dragonfruits should be able to bear fruit next year.

Xiao Lingyu used the remaining land to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The sandy land was very suitable for planting sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Of course, Xiao Lingyu had her own plans. Sweet potatoes could be eaten raw as a fruit, boiled, and eaten as a staple food. However, sweet potatoes had another use. They could be used to extract flour.

It was the same for potatoes. They could be made into flour and then noodles too.

There were many things that Xiao Lingyu wanted to plant. She had a plan for everything. However, her plans were held back because she was pregnant.

In terms of future prospects and sales, she wasn’t worried.

Her future husband was the richest man in the world aside, and she already had two capable assistants. Her cooperation with Zeng Yaozu had flourished ever since the strawberry business.

After the strawberries, Xiao Lingyu didn’t need any retailers. Her shop could sell everything. Her crops could be digested locally.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village planted the vegetables as per Xiao Lingyu’s request. She bought all of them.

Although they didn’t taste as good as the crops of her family, they were still grown with the spring water. They tasted better than the vegetables sold on the market.

Therefore, their selling price was slightly higher than the market price. But, it was still cheaper than Xiao Lingyu’s crops.

For some in Xing Yin County, they couldn’t afford to buy vegetables from Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables daily. However, the vegetables from Taoyuan Village were still better than the ones on the market. They were also cheaper than the ones from the store. So they were a good choice too.

Taoyuan Village was big. And every household had grown vegetables. Xiao Lingyu’s store couldn’t even fit them anymore.

Xiao Lingyu considered it and bought a three-story building. Each floor was around 500 to 600 square meters, so the whole building was more than 1000 square meters. She used it as a vegetable supermarket. However, the second and third floors were left empty temporarily. She only used the first floor to sell the vegetables grown at Taoyuan Village.

Xiao Lingyu bought all the vegetables based on the contract she signed. She would suffer all the losses and gains.

She gave the villagers a fair price. She didn’t buy them at a supplier’s price but at the market price. For example, the market price for cabbage was 60 cents per catty, so Xiao Lingyu bought them from the villagers at 60 cents per catty. But at her supermarket, they were sold for 1.20 RMB per catty. After all, she had to account for the cost, store fees, labor costs, transportation costs, and other expenses.

Some people in the village had gone to Xiao Lingyu’s supermarket to take a look. When they realized that Xiao Lingyu had bought the vegetables cheap from them, they felt upset.

Some people even secretly felt that Xiao Lingyu was a little unscrupulous. How could she scam her fellow villagers?

When Xiao Lingyu heard about this, she said coldly, “How much were you selling your cabbages for in the past? Two or three cents per catty, right? How much am I buying them now?”

These people were greedy! She was already very kind to them, but some people would never be satisfied.

Of course, most villagers were very satisfied. Only a few people were not satisfied.

Xiao Lingyu said calmly, “I am a businesswoman. At the end of the day, I have to turn a profit.

“You’re only seeing how expensive the vegetables are at my store, but have you considered the monthly rent I have to pay for the store? What about my workers’ wages? And the transportation fees. What about the vegetables that didn’t get sold?”

Then, Xiao Lingyu frowned and said coldly, “If you really think I’m a scammer, you don’t have to sell your stock to me. However, you’ve signed a contract with me. If you break the contract, you have to pay the penalty first.” To be honest, Xiao Lingyu did not lack this money, but she couldn’t spoil these people.

Nas

She was not a floormat that people could just step over. Why would she serve these greedy people anyway?
